Here the epilogue! Hey, I wanted to know what happened to Metalicana, and you?

Filial Devotion is now officially complete and there won't be another epilogue. Thank for all your review (more than 50! OMG!) and the faves and the alerts, and Merry Christmas (argh, too late ^^') and an Happy New Year!

Hem... and right after you read this LAST chapter, please tell me if the rate needs to turn M for... well tell me!

I only own the translation and the mistakes (and sorry for the quotation marks I hadn't put earlier, in french I usually use the "–" when a character speaks).

Perched on the tree next to the girls dormitory, transformed into human, Metalicana was waiting. For almost an hour he was waiting in fact. Arms crossed, sat on a branch, staring at the sky, he sighed deeply, frustrated. He was slightly starting to lose his patience and was hoping he could talk to his son quickly, but for now the said son was busy with something else that was what the multiple shouts and groans from the room just in front of the Dragon told. For an hour Levy was screaming in pleasure and Gajeel was growling, and Metalicana had to listen this nice concert despite himself. He had a headache, and he also wanted to throw up when he imagined what happened inside. No, Metalicana wasn't a pervert, Metalicana was watching, well he was listening, to make his duty as a father. Exasperate, he rolled his eyes to heavens when the shouts grew even louder, hoping it would end soon. And his prayer was heard because after a loud "I love you Gajeel!" that made the lights turn on in a few houses in Magnolia, silence fortunately fell back. Luckily all the Fairy Tail mages were asleep in the Guild after their party, otherwise they certainly already arrived to see what happened. With a growl, the Dragon straightened and jumped without a sound toward the window, just to see if they really had finished and if he finally could say something.

About the Dragon Slayer and the young girl, yes it was over. Breathless, stuck to one another and submersed by the moonlight that made their soaked body shine softly, they just had the most beautiful night of their life after six long months of an interminable absence. Slow and awkward due to the pleasure, the young girls' hands caressed the mage's chest before they wrapped around his neck to hug him with a small moan, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, before she coiled against him.

"Thank you." She sighed with an unconcealed joy.

Above her, Gajeel smiled warmly and wrapped his hands around the young girl's waist to pull her closer against him, then he kissed her with passion like he did just before. Their mouths danced sensually, reminding them what just happened between them and it nearly made them want to begin this again.

However a few knocks on the open window brought them back to reality, and when they turned toward the noise, stupor and horrified surprise was written over their faces and they screamed together. But this scream was far different from the passion they demonstrated before. At an incredible speed, Levy grabbed the blanket and the two mages hid below, shocked and stunned.

"I hope I don't bother you!" Metalicana grumbled, clinging on to the window firmly and seeming very unhappy.

"What the hell are you doing here? Go away!" Gajeel yelled, red from head to toes, just like his girlfriend.

"Don't talk to me like that! I came here to tell you something important, but if you don't care I can go!"

"No it's okay but quickly then!"

The Dragon Slayer hid a little more under the blanket with Levy, incredibly embarrassed. Maybe it was his father indeed, but no one should have seen what they've done, and he didn't know since when he was spying them. The young girl hadn't say anything yet, she was restraining herself but she was thinking no less. The Dragon waited a little more before answering, a sadistic smile on his lips, delighted with his little effect, then finally he declared:

"I'm leaving."

"How that you're leaving? To go where?"

"I don't know myself where the wind would carry me, but at least I have a goal. I choose to search Igneel and Grandeeney, to free them and to bring them back to Wendy and Natsu. So those two annoying and infuriating brats would stop to ruin my life. They already managed to make me join this damn Guild full of vermin and horses, I want them to leave me alone!"

"Wait... wait... you're going to search Grandeeney and Igneel... for Natsu and Wendy? And you joined Fairy Tail? Honestly I didn't expect this from you." Gajeel slowly said, dumbstruck by his declaration as much as the Solid Script mage who giggled in silence under him.

"Shut up looser! I'm not doing this for you! I'm doing this for myself and for my own peace! Once I succeed I won't have to put up with any of you humans, and that's all I wish!" Metalicana roared, suddenly enraged due to the image his son had of him right now.

He was getting more and more humiliated and he had been hurt repeatedly in his pride of Dragon. Now he was pissed, pissed, pissed. One day all those damn humans would pay, but first they had to leave him alone, and for this, he had to deal with them, at least for a while only.

"There, it was just to let you know." He growled in the end.

"Yeah." Gajeel answered, not knowing what else to say.

A long awkward silence fell between the two humans and the Dragon, then, as he understood he had nothing else to say, Metalicana jumped once again on the tree and prepared to transform himself. When he was about to do it, a voice in his back made him turn around. The iron mage had straightened and, leaning on the windowsill with his usual half smirk, he suddenly spoke:

"Have safe journey. And thanks for everything... dad."

After so long, so much time spent to hate each other, so much time spent to fight, after more than ten years, the son finally called the one who had raised him "dad" again. More surprising and strange fact, at this moment, Metalicana gave him back a smile, and as the magic illuminated his body, he declared in turn:

"Don't thank me, I already told you I hadn't done this for you, you bad son!"

Then an eagle appeared, and it flew away quickly into the starry sky, along with the Dragon Slayer's and the Solid Script mage's laughter.

(True) END!
