“What’s the deal Metallica?” Little 5 year-old Gajeel spat as he saw his father gobble up his rations. Metallica, the Iron Dragon with all his might, stopped eating and stood tall. “What are you complaining about Gajeel?” He roared. It didn’t faze Gajeel at all, he was used to it. “YOU’RE EATING MY FOOD!” Gajeel yelled.

The iron dragon mumbled something under his breath. “Damn that fire dragon…He made raising a kid look so easy… The dragons around me kept raising humans so I just felt left out”.

All of a sudden, Gajeel jumped on Metallica’s food, which contained of dead birds and rabbits. In the beginning, Gajeel refused to eat it which his father said “Starve then”. He did and had no other choice but to eat it and get used to it. “OI BRAT, THAT’S MINE!” Metallica growled as he flicked his disciple off his food pile.

“I better convince Grandine about not getting a kid before it’s too late.” Metallica thought as he was aware that Grandine was considering raising a dragon-slayer. All of a sudden, he felt a sting. It wasn’t a strong sting, more like a sting a human gets when stung by a mosquito. Gajeel was punching him with dragon punches. Had to been normal punches, Metallica wouldn’t have been feeling a thing, but it was dragon slayer magic. It was already too late to find this kid into an orphanage by now.

“Gajeel” Almost immediately, Gajeel stopped punching his father and looked at him in the eye. Metallica began sizing him up. The kid was starting to grow muscles (Bruises all over his body) and his black hair began to spike out from the top but not as spikey as a Mohawk. He was barefoot but had baggy gray pants on and that was the only article of clothing he had on him. Red eyes slanted with a snarky grin on his face.

“I can live without you old man.” Gajeel said with all the confidence in the world. This made Metallica snort. So that’s why he had a smirk on his face. “Why would you do that now?” Gajeel spoke louder, “Cause you have been treating me like crap ever since you had me!” Metallica’s eyes widened. So now this was HIS fault, Metallica wasn’t having any of this childish blame.

“You will thank me that I treat you like crap Gajeel, that way you won’t be afraid of anything and use it to your advantage. Once you understand fear, you can stand up stronger!” The gray dragon spoke with such words that even Gajeel had to pause a moment. After regaining his senses, Gajeel pointed at the dragon accusingly.

“YOU PUSHED ME OFF A CLIFF!”

“The water would break your fall”

“STOLE MY FOOD!”

“Mark of dominance.”

“THREW ME INTO A PIT OF ALLIGATORS!”

“You had to learn the meaning of ‘fighting for your life’ at some point”.

“YOUR TAIL SLAPPED ME IN MY ARM AND BROKE IT!”

“Accident! I didn’t notice you were back from the scouting the area yet.”

Gajeel let out a frustrated groan as he marched out of the home they made. “And where do you think you’re going?”

“I’M GOING SOMEWHERE THAT ISN’T HERE!” The little slayer spat as he marched out into the woods. Metallica let a sigh out. “He won’t last a day out there.”

It was Monday Evening.

“That dumb dragon, who does he think he is?!?” Gajeel exclaimed as he began to kick a pebble over and over again. Yea he could do it! He could easily live out alone. He knew how to hunt and cook his own grub. He could sleep on leaves rather than on an iron tail. He didn’t need crap from anybody, he had himself.

Fear.” His father’s words came back to him.

I ain’t afraid of anything!

Little did Gajeel know, a pair of yellow doggy eyes was watching him carefully and silently.

“Brat, I’m going to show you another move so come-“

“Gajeel, do you see that animal over ther-“

“I’m going to take a quick fly Ga-“

Metallica groaned rather loudly. Every single thing that Metallica talked about had to be the kid. His wish came true about not wanting him but had it really affected his way of speaking and mind about this. The dragon means that why should he care what happens to that no-good , ruffian of a kid. After all, it wasn’t like he missed him or anything.

Geez, I’m acting like one of those human girls said when a group came to the woods…What was that word again? Tsunde-….? Oh I’ll remember it later.”

“FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The scream shook Metallica from his thoughts. That voice he knew all too well.

Wait, it couldn’t be that I’m hearing things cause I’m acting Tsundere or whatever it’s called!?”

“GAHHHH! FATHER!!!!!!!!”

The moon was already in the sky and Metallica flew. “He didn’t get chewed by a lion or jaguar did he?” Metalica’s eyes widened in worry as he rapidly changed his flying state faster. What if Gajeel was injured or killed, it would’ve been his fault.

“FATHER!”

Right below him! Metallica took a sleek nose-dive to the noise and created a huge crater in the ground.

“SON WHERE ARE YOU?!?”

“Metallica?”

The dragon looked down to see Gajeel, a small dog in his hands.

“W-What’s going on?!” Metallica asked, he just heard him screaming a while ago.

“Whatd’ya mean?”

“You were screaming there a while back there!” Almost immediately, Gajeel shoved a sign in his father’s face. “I saw this sign in here so I thought I’d look for the mangy mutt. The mutt’s name is ‘father’ and he was trying to outrun me.”

“So you’re not injured.”

“Why would I be?”

“And you’re not infected by a disease.” Gajeel shook his head and when he did, Metallica sighed in relief. A smirk managed to find its way to Gajeel’s face. “You were worried weren’t you?” Dammit, Metallica thought. Why did he lower his guard when Gajeel was right in front of him!?!

“Shut up and come home…” Gajeel made a face at this.

“son” and with that, Metallica made Gajeel had to 50 red snappers as soon as they went home as compensation for being called son.

This was fat :D For some reason, I kept switching Gajeel's name with Gray so it was a bit complicated! But I had alot of fun doing this. Please vote for this story in the FT solo contest.
