(Fairy Tail x Male Reader) The True Prince of Peace

Chapter 3- Y/N part 2

As they arrived back at the guild, it was much more full than when they left. Cana was the first to notice them, although she just trailed Y/Ns figure with her eyes, smirking as she saw how his sopping wet clothes clung to him. Before anything else, however, Natsu led Y/N over to the table where his team was. Lucy blushed as she saw the handsome new arrival, while Erza eyed him with interest.

"GUYS! Let me introduce to you the newest member of Team Natsu. The one, the only, the new guy - Y/N!" Natsu said happily, draping an arm around his shoulders and spraying fire in the air in excitement.

"Good morning, everyone. It's nice to see you again," Y/N said, waving at them.

"Natsu! What... happened to your nose?!" Lucy cried in shock, noticing the copious amount of blood that had leaked onto his shirt and was now staining the wooden floor red.

"Huh? Oh. That. Well, Y/N and I were sparring and he kind of, sort of, broke my face," Natsu said sheepishly. Gray started to laugh uproariously while Lucy and Wendy sweatdropped. Both were surprised at the damage; usually, whenever Gray and Natsu fought, they barely bruised or scuffed the other. Y/N appeared to have done some decent damage. The new Fairy just scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Hmm... That's quite impressive, Y/N. You appear to be a capable fighter," Erza commented. Y/N had only just noticed the beautiful scarlet-haired beauty. He reprimanded himself for missing her the night before. Her beautiful scarlet hair fell just past her shoulders, draped over her signature Heart Kreuz armor. Erza regarded his formidable figure with interest before finally giving him a small smile.

"We would love to have you on our team, however. Unless anyone objects?" Erza said, opening it up for discussion. No one disagreed. "In that case, go let Mirajane know. She has to make it official."

"Hm? Oh. Right. I'll go do that, then," Y/N said, finally breaking his gaze away from her. Lucy and Erza watched him go before turning inwards to the table and discussing the recent event.

-o-

"Hello, Mira," Y/N said, flashing a charming smile at the bartender. She gave him a sweet smile of her own and paused what she was doing to lean over the bar.

"Hey there. How was your fight with Natsu?" she asked.

"The kid has definitely got skill. A lot of energy and charisma - important characteristics, especially if he's leading the team... which, I suppose he is, considering the namesake," Y/N said thoughtfully. Mira just giggled; she figured he'd soon find out that it was Erza who wore the pants in the team.

"He could use some refinement in his technique, I suppose. Not a wise idea to just run in and attack all the time. But he's on the right path," Y/N said, glancing back at the cackling Dragon Slayer.

"I thought you were fighting? Sounds like you were grading him on his performance," Mira said. Y/N just smiled in response.

"Erza said that I should let you know that I'm going to be joining Team Natsu. Something about making it official," Y/N said.

"Oh wow. So quick? Natsu really must've made an impression on you," Mira said in surprise. She expected that Y/N would take on a few jobs solo before joining a team - especially when she considered how long he seemed to have spent alone.

"Well, what can I say? He's quite an exciting character. Plus, it's been a long and lonely journey. I could use the company," he said, managing to conjure up a small smile.

"Well, I'm happy to see that you're settling in so quickly. Let me know if I can be of any help in making you more comfortable. I'll go and make the team official right now," she said, beginning to turn and walk back before he spoke again.
