        " are you sure he's here kaon ? i don't remember this planet or sector ." voice gruff and questioning the smaller bot . the red mech nodded ,, optics dark and empty as he smiled . " i'm sure of it , tarn ." he replied . the mech known as tarn nodded in return ,, looking at the scanners aboard the ship known as the peaceful tyranny . there was barely any trace of a cybertronian signal . barely ,, that is . there was a faint dot on the screen ,, showing one life signal .

        " prepare yourselves for departure . lets make this quick ,," tarn said to his crew ,, the djd ,, or better known as the decepticon justice division . " watch out for the life here ,, theyre .... organic ." he said slowly ,, disgust dripping from his words .

        _____________________________

        thankfully there werent a lot of people here today . not exactly hot enough for a beach day ,, per say ,, but you didnt mind that one bit . resting in the driver's seat of your old truck ,, you smothered your face with sunscreen . just because it was 70 degrees out didnt mean you were gonna risk getting toasted by the sun .

        glad there werent too many little kids around ,, you were able to enjoy your little day off without many interruptions . or so you thought ,, when all the sudden a gigantic ass space ship came outta nowhere . aint no way in hell you were gonna let this moment go though ,, knowing the ufos exist and the government was keeping those aliens locked up and away from public . fishing for your phone in your bag ,, you quickly drew it out and snapped your camera app open .

        switching to video ,, you got out your truck and starting to tape the spaceship . this was something outta star wars because aint no way this was government property and a thing for a movie . or maybe it was ? you werent too sure ,, busy being in awe of this majestic ship . until it had landed and out popped its crewmates .

        this had to be for a movie ,, it had to be . nothing like just happens on a wednesday . the most that happens is that commercial with the camel saying its hump day . this sorta thing happens on a friday or sunday . one of the robotic beings opened their mouth ,, static and chirps coming out . you werent too sure what it was saying though .

        it was all fine until they started looking around and one spotted you . it was quite big ,, purple with tank treads maybe ? it surely didnt look like something from the government ,, but it did look like it was some sort of military machine . a shorter yet more lanky one stomped forward ,, water splashing up against its legs as its hands wrapped around your body .

        your phone slipped from your hand ,, eyes wide with shock and jaw dropped open . " hey !" you yelled ,, pointing accusingly at it . " put me down this instant ! who do you think you are ?!" you spat at it . the being looked curious ,, chirping at the purple one you were just looking at .

       _____________________________

        " boss ! look ! its one of those organice you told us about !" kaon exclaimed ,, vos coming up beside him and looking at the creature . " it even gave me its goo ! that must mean we've bonded ! oh boss ,, can i keep it ?" kaok rushed excitedly towards tarn . he shoved the creature up at him ,," just look how cute it is ! please boss ! i promise to take care of it !"

        tarn backed away a bit ,, leaning down slightly to get a better look at it . " fine fine ,, just focus on the task at hand . as long as you keep it in your habsuite only ." the mech grunted ,, waving kaon away as he pulled up his internal scanners .

        tarn would later question his decision . the bot they were looking for had gone into hiding and with night falling ,, the leader had become quite irritated . he would just have to wait ,, it would seem .

boyfriend mark goin to pick ya ass up while trying not to draw too much attention to himself,,, shhhh!!

pre-debut mark

okay but mark was the cutest damn child, and like,, that's a fact

LOOK AT THE INNOCENCE IN HIS EYES!!!!!!!

I just wanna tuck him into bed and read him some bedtime stories )))’:::

k I think we can all agree that mark’s mirror selfies are LEGENDARY. NEVER LET THESE DIE. EVER.

why does his outfit remind me of something justin bieber circa 2012 would wear lmao

don't come at me but like,, why do these 2 pics remind me of seventeen’s vernon......... i mean im jus sayin........

this picture? is so? precious??? caN I JUST SWADDLE HIM PLEASE??????

oh look!! this must’ve been right around the time when sm stopped allowing mark to get even the slightest bit of rest!!!

he looks like such a lil man here dear lord

the many hairstyles/colors throughout mark’s career

starting off with the 7th sense debut, we have marks.... questionable.... black, choppy, bangs-cut-too-short hairstyle!! it truly is one for the books....

moving onto fire truck era, sm kinda dropped a bomb on us with the multi-colored hair. but as crazy as orange and purple hair sounds (and kinda looks) mark actually pulled it off pretty damn well???

buT THEN IN THE MIDDLE OF PROMOTIONS THEY DECIDED TO DYE HIS WHOLE HEAD PURPLE AND BLESS US ALL!! like, I have a hard time picturing mark with extremely bright and extravagant hair colors (like hyuck or chenle) but lemme tell ya mark looked so damn good with the purple holy shit sm brinG THAT BACK!!!

and then at the end of promotions (obvs prepping mark’s hair for dreams debut) they decided his scalp hadn’t been through enough, so they bleached it and made him blonde (((’::::

dreams debut!!!!! whoop whoop!!!! they dyed mark’s hair a rose gold tinted color and honestly?? he looked hella good???? idk what I was saying earlier about not being able to see mark pull off bright and extravagent colors cause my boy absolutely slayed orange, purple AND pink!!!

now we come across the holy period that was mark’s dirty blonde hair during chewing gum promotions,,,, let’s all just take a moment of silence because of how damn Good this look was..... the color and the haircut itself were so fucking nice and tbfh i have a special place in my heart for this look

whelp..... here comes limitless!!! the BOP of the century, but also the fucking disaster of the millennium that was marks perm........... sm did my boy so dirty with this one..... as if his hair hadn't been through enough torture, they go and do THIS? sickening.

NOW WE’RE BACK ON OUR GOOD STREAK!! after the perm settled down a bit they finally realized that they needed to make up for their horrendous mistake, SO they put a lil pink in the mix and BAM!! we got our lil cotton candy baby (^=

and then the pink started to fade )))’:: leaving him with cute little pink tinted curls!!!! (((’::

MFAL (what an era.....) if im being completely honest, mark’s mfal hair is my religion. it’s not nearrlllyyy as poofy and untamed as it was before, and the little blonde curls really worked for him rip...

not to mention when they straightened it and we got our royal prince lookin ass mark lee!!!!

head shot pop,, cherry bomb was another holy era for marks hair. it had been sooo long since we’d seen dark haired mark that it pretty much threw the whole fandom into a frenzy when it happened.

tbfh his we young hair took a little while to grow on me. i’ve always loved the longer, shaggier bangs on mark, and the short bangs were giving me war flashbacks to t7s era,,,, and the shaved sides were so!!! different that idk. it just took me a while to adjust...

but I would later come to Love his we young hair because it eventually grew into this fucking beauty - which is also my faVORITE DAMN HAIRSTYLE ON THIS BOY,, HOLY SHIT!!! HIS HAIR JUST LOOKS SO PERFECT AND I JUST WANNA RUN MY FINGERS THROUGH IT AND PLAY WITH IT AGGHHJJHBPWUEB

**sigh** but then sm went and did what they always do and fucked with something that was already perfect ///: I mean, although i am pretty distraught over the loss of quite possibly the best hair style of his career, he does look mighty fine with the honey blond color so its all good (((;;

anD THEN!! THEY LITERALLY BLEW ALL OF US OUT OF THE DAMN WATER WITH THE FUCKING BRIGHT, STOP SIGN, TICKLE ME ELMO LOOKIN ASS RED!!!!!!!! NAAaahhhh I'm just playin :”)) i’ve said it so many times already, but he really can pull off just about any color and i must say, the red is really workin for him,, uh huh, uh huh, yes sir!!

the lil duck face pout

idk why he Always does this but it’s fucking hilarious and it never fails to crack me tf up

Gajevy Week: Prompt: Trouble Twins Colorful Revenge

Gajevy

Rated: T

Prompt: Trouble Twins

One-Shot

Colorful Revenge

Gajeel gets revenge on Metalicana in the best of ways.

Gajeel was in the kitchen with Levy, sighing as he buried his face in her neck. Their four-year-old twins were a rambunctious set that left both adults exhausted at times.

“How long did they keep you up last night?” Levy asked lightly, leaning back into her husband after filling two coffee mugs.

“A lil’ while. Shutora was having nightmares.” He grumbled.

Levy had never seen Gajeel jump out of bed so fast. Their daughter’s cry and sob of “Daddy!” Had him tripping over himself to rush out of the bed. Levy wasn’t far behind. When the man cradled the girl, he quietly waved his wife off to go back to bed as he was soon taking care of the twins, calming them both down, since Yajeh woke up to his sister’s cries.

Turns out while they had Natsu and Lucy watching the twins so they could make some repairs around the house before the kids came back, Natsu decided to tell the story of a monster.

He was gonna kill Natsu if Lucy hadn’t already. Likely Nashi, Natsu and Lucy’s daughter, would have nightmares from it as well.

“Think Metalicana will be able to handle them?” Levy asked, looking at her daughter who was chasing her brother. The little girl was so much like her father it was frightening sometimes.

“Nah. Probably not. But, eh.” He shrugged before smirking slightly. Maybe he could use that against his old man.

The male eventually sighed, grabbing his cup to take a long drink before catching his wife’s lips. “Then we get some time away from the kids…”

“I’m not having sex with you while the twins play with your Dragon Father outside of the house.” She deadpanned. It was bad enough to me mid passion when one of the twins decide to try for their bedroom door crying out for one or both of them.

He growled and tugged her closer, “Fine, fine.” He moved to kiss her again, earning a weak mewl in protest from the blunette. “Then I want ya to read to me, like we used to before the brats.”

Levy just smiled and nodded, but before she could say anything—.

“Mama!! I can’t find my paint!” Yajeh cried out.

“Me neither!” Shutora’s loud cry came.

Levy held back a sigh, “Don’t let them paint the house again. It took forever to scrub off. Make sure Metalicana knows that too. Or I swear I’ll make him clean it.” Their children had little spouts of accidental magic that had enchanted their paint to being almost like permanent marker. “I swear, Natsu or Cana switched it.” She grumbled.

“I’ll get it for you both. Now get your play clothes so you can spend time with Grandpa Metalicana!” The blunette called up to stairs to her children.

Gajeel suddenly had an idea as he heard the old, metallic wings of his father in the distance. The metallic dragon would soon be landing in what was their backyard, an opening to the forest and towards the river.

During Levy’s pregnancy, he spent a good amount of time with Lily clearing the area so the kids would have a place to play. A swing set placed off to the side, and a few large trees on either side of the yard, grown tall thanks to Droy’s magic, leaving the area shaded.

“I’ll get it for ‘em. Ya just relax, babe.”

This caused Levy to furrow her brows. “…Whatever it is you’re planning. Make sure the kids will be safe and if it starts coming down on me. I’m grabbing the kids and leaving you to lay in the mess you made.” Her tone was low.

“Got it.” He nodded, a wide grin on his face as he moved to get the kids stash of pant. It washed off skin easily, but else would practically be ruined by this paint, unless there was major scrubbing.

“Oi, Shrimps.” He called, holding their little sets of paint, Levy having gotten them dressed in their play clothes while he went to retrieve the sets.

“Our paints!” The two happily ran to their dad, bouncing as they jumped, trying to take the paints from the man.

“Oi, oi, calm down. I have a job for you.” His eyes turned to Levy, “Thought you didn’t want any part of this.” He commented as he saw Levy cross her arms over her chest, though she didn’t leave the room.

“Oh, I want to hear this. You’re as bad as Natsu sometimes.” This earned her a glare. “I need to know how quick to grab them and run when you drive Metalicana through the roof.” She commented dryly.

The male bit the inside of his cheek to keep from retorting. “How about you both show my pops how colorful ya both can make him.”

“We get to make Grandpa ‘talicana colorful?” Shutora was in awe, but Yajeh was quiet. From the look the boy had, Gajeel knew he was analyzing the best ways to color the most surface area possible on the dragon.

Everything was mostly peaceful for the next couple hours. Squeals of laughter, the metallic grinding laughter from the dragon.

Levy couldn’t stop her smile, glancing out the open window in her library where she and Gajeel were relaxing. A book against her chest as she couldn’t keep her eyes off the twins climbing and carefully being moved around by Metalicana.

Gajeel nuzzled into his wife’s hair, occasionally catching his father’s gaze through the open window. Gajeel thought he’d be jealous of his kids… they were getting a different side of Metalicana then he had ever gotten. Yet… he was just happy watching the blue haired twins squeal in laughter.

“My turn! My turn!” Yajeh laughed, raising his arms up to the dragon. Soon Metalicana was picking the boy up carefully with his claw.

“Excited little brat, aren’t ya?” The metal dragon watched the boy squirm as he tried to grab the large fingers holding him up.

The dragon’s eyes flicked to his son. “Just like yer father. Squishy little brat. Gihehe.” He caught Gajeel glaring at him, but watched as the man relaxed under Levy’s soft words.

The little woman was good for his brat. He could hear her softly reading a book, Gajeel just melting under his wife as she read to him.

It made the old dragon’s heart ache. He missed his mate, a wood dragon. A playful female by the name of Talia. Her body made to camoflaugue into dense forestry. Pale green scales able to turn different shades of green and brown… He missed her so much.

The squealing children that giggled, climbing on his plated body, patting their hands on his silvery, steel and iron body, made him miss Gajeel’s childhood. Having never had any hatchlings due to Talia’s passing, he had Gajeel who filled that hole in his bitter heart. He wished he had never gotten injured… wished he never followed Anna and Igneel’s words. He would have gotten to see Gajeel’s childhood through. Yet… seeing the boy with his little mate. Gajeel would have never gotten that if they stayed in their original time… would have never gotten Levy and this beautiful family.

“Oi, brat.” He called to his son, about to continue until he heard—SPLAT!

The metal dragon quickly turned his head. Shutora giggling as suddenly she was smearing bright purple paint on the dragon’s side.

Wait…

Wait…

There were handprints… mixed colors… different colors…

“BRAT!” The dragon, dropped, albeit carefully—he did not want to face a mother’s wrath—Yajeh onto the ground. His head whipping around. Decorated in bright colorful handprints and splatters of paint. He would have never noticed had Shutora not have thrown what was left of her paint onto his side. “COME HERE BRAT! GET YOUR BRATS!!” Metalicana snarled.

Despite the roar in the dragon’s voice, neither Yajeh nor Shutora were frightened. Their laughter just grew as they moved to get other paints.

Catching Gajeel’s broad smirk, Metalicana narrowed his eyes. “Little one, get your mate in line!” He snapped at Levy.

Gajeel suddenly winced.

“He’s your son, Metalicana!” She snapped right back.

“And they’re your brats too!” The dragon shot, motioning to the two kids.

Levy’s glare was no longer on the dragon, but on her husband.

Trouble didn’t even describe the twins.

“Get out there, before I kill him.”

“I’d like to see you try.” The dragon huffed, eye twitching when a glob of pink paint decorated his snout, causing both Gajeel and Levy to snort when they saw him.

“Oi, calm down, pops. It was my idea.” Gajeel waved off his father, and moved out the door that lead from the library to the back yard.

“Your brats are just like ya, kid. I hope the next one turns out better.” The dragon grunted, watching as Levy moved out the door to get the kids, turning on the hose to help rise them off of the paint. The kids happily playing in the water to clean up.

“Part of the reason we’re not havin’ anymore for a while.” Gajeel commented.

“Yer little mate didn’t tell ya that she’s—“

Water was spraying the dragon, causing Gajeel to turn his head, wanting to praise his children when, to his surprise, it was Levy holding her thumb over the nozzle, spraying down the dragon. Some fresh pant washing off, but the dried-on paint staying stuck to the metal.

“Oops.” Levy’s voice was deadpanned. Not in the least bit apologetic. “That’s for ruining the surprise.”

“Levy yer…?”

“Surprise?” She sheepishly shrugged. “I planned on telling you tonight.”

Loud, booming laughter escaped Gajeel as he moved to embrace his wife. She couldn’t help but smile as she nuzzled him.

Splat!

Levy’s hand was on Gajeel’s cheek, bright orange paint decorating his face. “That’s for getting me dragged into your mess.” She grinned. She hadn’t slapped him, just tapped her hand full of the goopy paint onto his face.

The kids were laughing loudly, the dragon joining into the laughter.

“Oh, you’re going to regret that, Shorty!” Gajeel made for one of the containers of paint the kids had placed aside, briefly making him wonder how the dragon missed the paints, before moving to get some red paint and toss it at his wife.

The twins weren’t the only troubled ones in this family, Metalicana realized.

He wouldn’t have his family any other way. He liked the life the blunettes brought to his and his son’s life.

Even if it did cause him to be a laughing stock among the other dragons when he came home decorated in splatters and handprints in various colors.

The stupid grin hadn’t left the metal dragon’s face. His brat hadn’t turned out bad. Those trouble twins wouldn’t turn out bad either, especially with the parents they had.

Bonus:

“Still got paint on you, eh, Metalicana?” Igneel chuckled as the metal dragon had come back, fading paint decorating his metal body still.

“Oh, leave him alone, Igneel! It looks like he had fun! At least he knows how to have fun!” Grandeeney commented, smiling as she remembered her last visit to her daughter. “He’ll be worried soon enough over the blue bird when she gets further along anyways. So, let him enjoy his family. Heavens know what you do when that little granddaughter of yours puts stickers all over your scales.”

Igneel’s eyes narrowed.

Nashi would often decorate the fire dragon in stickers, and if she got help from her mother, she would decorate him with ribbon too.

Metalicana’s words to here were: “Yer a fuckin’ doll reject, Igneel! Gihehe!”

“Just getting him back for the comments when I came back decorated by my lovely little granddaughter.” The Dragon King snorted, smoke escaping his nostrils.

“Ah, leave ‘im alone, ‘deeny. He’s jealous I got two and a third on the way. He’s still buggin’ his brat to have a boy. Wantin’ to keep the dragon magic going down the bloodline.”

The wind dragon looked to Igneel after Metalicana’s comment. “What, a girl can’t learn your magic?” Her voice dry and laced with annoyance. “That girl is exactly like her father.”

“Oi, what about you? Going to teach, what was his name, Yajeh your magic?” Igneel ignored Grandeeney.

“Nah. Neither of ‘em have my brat’s blood talent for metal. At least, neither of them seem to. If they wanna learn, I’ll teach em. But the boy seems like he’ll follow his ma. And the girl is takin’ with yer daughter’s magic.” Metalicana scratched at his head, paint chipping off. “The brat in the little one, I can feel the magic already. Natural born Dragon Slayer, like our kids. Boy ‘r girl, don’t matter.”

“And why not?” This had both Grandeeney and Igneel’s attention. Metalicana was probably the most stubborn of the dragons, having once been firm on only teaching boys the ways of his magic.

“Their ma, the little one… Levy. She’s as fierce as Talia. Tamed my boy up right quick, even after everything.” Igneel and Metalicana knew what Gajeel had done, being sealed inside their sons. Grandeeney had learned of it later, but the male dragons saw the damage first hand… Metalicana had to watch it happen.

He had never been so ashamed before, yet that shame turned to pride as he turned around. He learned to be a better person then the dragon knew he could ever teach him to be.

“If she can deal with my boy. Deal with all of our kids and that crazy guild and still have the nerve to spay me with a fuckin’ hose. She’ll raise her kids to be as fierce as any of our brats. They’ll just be as smart as ‘deeney’s little bird and as strong as our brats.” He yawned lazily.
