Gajeel's POV

I sit in the Guildhall as we wait for some help to arrive to get us to Tenrou. The last time I was there was when we had the S-Class Trails and I was helping Shrimp. Good times. Good times. Except when Acnologia attacked us and then we trapped in time for 7 years. The door open up and people from Blue Pegasus walk in.

"Meeeeeeeeeeeen. Let's get this done and over with. Sniff sniff. Erza, your perfume is-ach!"

Erza kicked the creepy sniffin' dude away.

"Are we going to go or just sit here all day," Totmaru says.

"Yes. Right this way," one of the sniffin' dude lapdog says.

Everyone who use to be in Phantom Lord follows him, plus some others who are coming as extra protection. We are able to get on the ship, without any Zombie attacks. I sit on the deck and wait to get to Tenrou.

"Hey Gajeel. Mira wants everyone to play Truth or Dare. That means you have to join," Shrimp tells me.

"Alright. I'm coming," I say as I walk over to the Truth or Dare circle.

I sit next to Shrimp and soon we start the game.

"I'll start! Juvia, Truth or Dare," Mira says as she smiles.

"Juvia choose Dare," Rain Woman says.

"You must sit on Gray's lap for the next three turns," She-Demon says.

Hearts form in Juvia's eyes as she sits on Stripper's lap.

"Aria-Kun, Truth or Dare," Juvia ask him.

"ITS SO SAD!! I CHOOSE TRUTH! ITS SO SAD," Aria says as he cries.

"Does Aria-Kun have a beloved one," Juvia ask him.

"YES!! ITS SO SAD THAT IM NOT WITH HER! GAJEEL-KUN! TRUTH OR DARE," Aria says.

I sit there thinkin' 'bout what I should choose. Either way, it won't be good.

"Dare," I say.

"I DARE YOU TO EXPLAIN YOUR MATES SCENT!"

'Well fuck me,' I think.

"Who said anything 'bout me finding my mate," I say.

"Bickslow~" Mira says as she smiles.

I glare at Bickslow as he smirks.

"He's found his mate already," Bickslow says.

"I would punch ya right now if I could," I growl.

"And why can't you," Bickslow says.

I smirk at him.

"That's 'Cause I have a better idea. GeeHee," I say.

"No, don't you dare Gajeel! I'm warning you," Bickslow says.

"Too bad. Bickslow's been sleeping with Lisanna," I say.

"WHAT," Mira says as she looks at her sister and then at Bickslow. "WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME MY OTP CAME TRUE?!"

I smirk as everyone looks at the couple. I turn into my Iron-Shadow Dragon Mode and I sneak away. I soon reappear in a storage room. I leave my Dragon Mode and sigh in content.

"So that's why you told them their secret," a voice says and I turn my head to see Levy there.

"How the hell are you here," I ask her.

"I grab you when you left so I got dragged here," she tells me.

"Oh."

"So explain your mate's scent," Levy says as she cross her arms.

"That's for me and my mate to know," I tell Levy.

/Though it's true, it's ironic! Since Levy is his mate and I think you understand/

"Look. Aria never said that you had to tell everyone. You can tell me then you do get the Dare done and no one else would need to know," Levy says.

"Huh. Yer right Shrimp," I say.

"Don't call me Shrimp! My name is Levy," Shrimp says.

"Whatever you say Shortie," I say as she puffs her cheeks out.

"And besides, I put a rune up so you can't leave until you tell me what her scent is like to you," she says.

"What," I say as I look 'round to see that there is a rune 'round Shrimp and myself.

"Better tell just one person than everyone," Levy says.

I sigh and lean against the door at as look at Lev. She sits in front of me and waits patiently for me to speak.

"Well...her scent is unique to me for sure," I start as I look at Shrimp.

"Well it should be unique to you because she special to you," Lev reply.

"Yeah...she sure is special," I say as I look up at the ceiling. "She seems to brighten the room just by walking in."

"Really," Levy says.

"Yeah."

"Interesting. So are you going to describe her scent like the Dare says," Shortie ask me.

"Yeah sure."

I soon describe her scent to Levy. Shrimp listens carefully as I go into detail about how the scent changes slightly over the seasons. Soon I finish and I see the rune disappear.

"Well then. She's one lucky girl to have you as her soulmate," Levy says.

"And why do ya say that Shrimp," I ask her.

"Because she will have a dragon watching over her. Like how Lu-Chan is Natsu's mate. He will protect her no matter what. And you will protect your mate with everything you got," Lev explains.

"Yeah. But the question is if she will be my mate. 'Cause she will have the option to say 'yes' or 'no'," I tell her.

"Well if I was your mate, I wouldn't hesitate to say yes," Shrimp says.

"Eh?! What's that," I ask her.

"Because there is so much more to you than you let people see," Levy says.

"Levy...there's something important you need to know," I say as she looks at me. "Your..."
