She... Loves Me?
When Felix deleted the video his friends made him, Adrien reaches out and thanks his friends anyways. Alya and Nino decide to send Adrien the video again knowing that Marinette confessed her feelings in it.
How will Adrien react when his "very good friend" is actually in love with him? Will his feelings come out to explore or will he choose to sit in the sidelines as he figures out these confusing new feelings burying a hole in his heart?
This takes place directly after the episode Felix. There will be chapters on Ladybug, Heart Hunter, and Miracle Queen with some canon divergence in some parts.
Ao3
Chapter 1: Thanks Felix
“Pew, pew!” Alya and Nino exclaimed as they defeated their latest game of Super Penguino.  Their laughter abruptly stopped as an incoming video came in through the group chat.
“Oh, hey. It’s Adrien.” Alya said as she pressed the message.
Hey guys! I... never got your messages, but I’m really touched just knowing that you were thinking of me today. You are the best friends that anyone could ever dream of. I love you, all of you.
Alya smiled as she ended the video and slid the phone in her pocket. “That was really sweet of Adrien.”
“Yeah. My bro has a heart of gold. I’m just glad that it wasn’t him who sent that awful video to us.” He pulled the cap off to scratch his head.” I know my bro. There was no way he would have said any of that hate.”
Alya frowned. “I can’t believe I doubted him for a hot minute. What was I even thinking?”
“You, Juleka, and Rose were holding onto the tablet when the akuma came. At least one of you were upset that Adrien would have even said anything like this. It didn’t matter if you knew or didn’t. That small moment was just enough for that butterfly to attach to your emotions. We didn’t even know he had a cousin, especially one that looks like he could be his identical twin.”
“I still can’t believe he has a cousin so similar. It’s like they were separated at birth or something.” She shook her head and let out a breathy sigh. “You’re right about this whole emotional part. I was just so shocked over it. I wanted to not believe it and I shouldn’t have believed it, even for a second. Rose or Juleka must have had a stronger emotion towards it than I did, but when Hawkbutt releases an akuma, just watch out. But even then... like sunshine boy has any mean bone in his body. I don’t even think he knows how to be mean.”
The teens laughed.  
“Yeah right, Al.” Nino nodded his head in amusement as he watched Alya pick up the tablet. “I think he might be the silent but deadly types. You know, the ones the prey on innocent souls when you least expect it?” Alya raised her brow and stared at him with a deadpanned glare. “Or not! Just kidding?”
Alya sighed and decided to change the subject. “Another round?”
“You’re on.”
The two played for another few rounds of Super Penguino before Nino laid back against his bed with a thunk.
“Alright, Mr. DJ. What’s going on? Why so glum?”
“Everyone worked so hard on making that video for him. Marinette had the right idea to do all this just to cheer him up. If it wasn’t for Felix getting to it, he would have been able to watch it and it would have made his day even better! I mean, you could see how much he loved the fact we made the video in the first place. Imagine if he actually watched it?”
“Yeah, especially since M said something in the video that she was too flustered to even tell me.”
Nino’s eyes widened. “Dude... she didn’t?”
A devious gleam flashed across her eyes. “Oh, yes. She did.”
“Al? Do you still have the video? If I know you – and I do - you have that video saved six ways from Sunday.”
Alya switched off the game and scoured through her gallery. Sitting in the saved video folder was the compilation video. She looked over to Nino and gestured to the paused image and smiled sweetly at him. “Oh look!” She feigned ignorance. “I can’t believe I still have the video. And the poor boy hasn’t seen it yet. Oh no. We can’t have that.”
Nino shook his head as he watched his girlfriend act out. He decided to play along. “Dude, I think my bro really needs to see the video. Why don’t you just, you know, send it over?”
“Don’t mind if I do!”
With two clicks of her messaging app, Alya sent over the video and sighed a happy hum. “Girl. You are going to thank me for this.”
-----
Adrien worked at his desk, tirelessly cleaning up the French Literature outline that is due by the end of the week. With the increase in akuma attacks and patrols, he liked to get whatever he could get done sooner rather than later. He could hear Plagg munching on a bag of cheesy popcorn while his favorite cooking shows played in the background.  
Adrien leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, remembering the feeling of his mother’s presence. A stray tear fell from his eye and he quickly sat up and brushed it away. He missed her just so damn much.
He wished she was still here so they could sit in his room every evening and just talk about their days. How he wished he could smell her flowery perfume or hear her sweet laugh. He wished that she could have seen him go to public school for the first time and saw how happy he is now that he has friends who can share his hobbies.
Oh, how he wished she could have met his new friends. His mom already knew and loved Chloe and loved having her at the mansion. She would have loved meeting Kagami, but something in the back of his mind itched at the thought that maybe she already knew her through the Tsurugi family name.  
He shook his head at the brisk thought.
She would have definitely loved Nino and his laid-back attitude, maybe even give him a pointer or two in the whole directing movies side of things. She probably would have told Alya what it was like to be interviewed by journalists and what Alya should do to avoid being taunted by celebrities in the worst way. She would have loved meeting Marinette and bonded over her creativity and would probably help her with her designs, and she would definitely love how selfless and caring she is...
A happy thought crossed his mind. His friends were so sweet to him today. It sucked that Felix had to go and delete the video, send a ruthless response, and caused his friends to get akumatized over it. Just the thought of it put him into a sour mood. Adrien narrowed his eyes and slumped in his chair, leaning onto the armrest with his head propped up on his fist. He stared at a random spot on the floor.
Plagg could sense the change in Adrien’s attitude and fluttered over to his chosen. While he was not one to show how much he cared, he really did love him and would do anything to protect him. He waited until Adrien looked up from his spot before saying anything.
“You okay, kid?”
“Yeah. Just miss her.” He sighed. “And I’m mad at Felix for what he did. I just wish that I could have seen what my friends sent me.”
“I’m an ancient god so I don’t know much, but is there any way to find a deleted video from somewhere in your phone?”
Adrien nodded solemnly. “No. I played around with it for an hour and I couldn’t find a way. I think Felix went through and really wiped it off my phone so I couldn’t find it.”
Plagg let out a small growl. “Sucks kid. Sorry.”
“Eh, it’s whatever Plagg. Just knowing that they thought about me today is enough. Yeah, it would be cool to see it, but beggars can’t be choosers.”
“Are you sure about that? I beg for cheese all the time and choose the types I want. And I don’t think I’m an exception to the rule...” He said as he licked his paws. “Plus, I think if you asked whoever sent the video to resend it to you, then you could watch it.”
Adrien thought about it for a moment. “No, I’m not going to bother them. But it is a great thought though.”
Plagg rolled his eyes. His chosen is such a sweet kid, never wanting to bother anyone for an inconvenience, even if it was for a simple text with no effort in a resend what so ever. But he knew when to drop a subject if it wasn’t going anywhere.
Adrien got up and was about to gather his things when a ding chimed loudly in the room. He walked over to it and looked down to see who it was from. The start of a smirk crossed his lips as he noticed that a large message was trying to come through. Plagg noticed Adrien’s quick emotions and scanned the notification, looking back at Adrien with a similar smirk.
“Looks like you got your wish kid.”  
“Looks like Alya sent it to me. That’s so awesome.” He smiled at the notification. “Come on, Plagg. I want to watch this on my bed.”
Plagg perched on Adrien’s shoulder as he nestled into the pillows on his bed. The moment they became comfortable, Adrien clicked on the message.
“Oh look, Plagg! Nino sent something.”
Hey, my dude. I’m not quite sure what to tell you except that you’re my man dude, and bros are always there for their guys.
“Dude! He’s such an awesome bro.” Adrien smiled and clicked on the next video. “Aww, Rose sent me something too!”
Unicorns have a saying: even when there’s nothing but gray skies and rain, all it takes is one little sunbeam for a rainbow to appear.
“She’s so bubbly and warm. No wonder she was akumatized when Felix sent that video.” He saddened at the thought again before clicking next. “Oh, Max did too!”
Plagg looked up and saw that this was going to be a recurring theme with each additional sender. He nuzzled a little further and pretended to fall asleep. Seeing him this happy definitely warmed up his little heart.
It’s 100% proven you should feel 52% happier with a healthy dose of laughter, so Marcov has uploaded a few jokes for you starting with...
“I hope some of those jokes are punny!” He started to chuckle to himself. “I’ll have to check out the email Marcov is sending so I can read them before falling asleep. Maybe I can use them on my Lady!”
Plagg just looked at him with one eye propped open. “Hey, Chloe is up next.”
Adrien furrowed his brow. She was his first friend, so she knows more about this than any of his other friends, but this could go in any direction. He hesitantly clicked next.
When my mother left for New York I felt so sad. It... felt like she was... she came back and I know how lucky I am. So, you can count on me, my Adrikins.
“I wish Chloe could be this sweet all the time. I hate how she hides behind this bravado exterior. I miss the old Chloe.” He said sadly. Letting out a sigh, he clicked next. “Oh. It’s Marinette. She’s so sweet and amazing, even if she stutters a bit. I love that about her. And she’s so caring!”
Plagg rolled his eyes as he watched his chosen babble away. “Are you going to click next, or are you going to talk about your girlfriend for the next hour?”
“Plagg! She is not my girlfriend! She’s just a... very... good friend!” He side eyed the kwami before clicking the next button.
Adrien, I love you. I’ll always be there if you need me.
Adrien’s jaw dropped and stared at the screen. “She... loves me?!”

CHAPTER 9 (hadsiestown)
Davey had made it. He was in Hadestown. The workers flooded around him. The only sound was of machinery and hammers, consistent and rhythmic. The workers moved in time. Up and down, up and down. Davey ran past all of them, looking for his love. When he saw her, he barely recognized her. She was covered in dust and oil. Her clothes were tattered and worn, the same uniform as all of the other workers. “Cora.” she looks at him with confusion. She doesn’t know him. “Come home with me.”
Cora’s memories come flooding back. A simple phrase, the first thing they ever said to each other. The key that unlocked her mind. “It's you.” she says breathlessly. “It's me.” he grabs her hand. “Davey.” she wraps him in a hug. “Cora.” she hears his heartbeat. It’s familiar. Home. “I called your name before.” she utters. “I know.” Cora pulls away and stares up at him. “You heard?” Davey shakes his head no. “No, Mr Hermes told me so. Whatever happened, I'm to blame.” 
“No.” Cora argues. “You called my name.” Davey says brokenly. “You came. But how'd you get here? On the train?” 
“No, I walked a long way.” Cora asks him how he got past the wall. “I sang a song so beautiful the stones wept and they let me in. And I can sing us home again,”
“No, you can't.” 
“I can.” Davey insists. “No! You don’t understand.” Before she can explain further, out walks Jack and his wife. “Young man, I don't think we’ve met before. You're not from around here, son. Don't know who the hell you are but I can tell you don’t belong. These are workin' people, son. Law-abiding citizens. Go back to where you came from. You're on the wrong side of the fence.” Jack orders.
“Jack, I know this boy!” Alex says. “One of the unemployed?” Alex tells Jack that his name is Davey. Jack turned towards him, eyes full of fire. The kind of fire that he controlled in his factories and furnaces. “You stay out of this. You hear me, son? You better run!” Jack’s threat was clear. He’s the king of death. He can take away life as easily as Alex creates it. “No! Davey, you should go.” Cora pushes him towards the wall. Her eyes plead for him to give up.
“I'm not goin' back alone - I came to take her home!” Davey shouts. “Who the hell do you think you are? Who the hell you think you're talkin' to? She couldn't go anywhere even if she wanted to. You’re not from around here, son. If you were, then you would know that everything and everyone in Hadestown I own. But I only buy what others choose to sell. Oh, you didn’t know? She signed the deal herself. And now she--”
“It isn’t true-” Davey interrupts. “Belongs to me.” Jack finishes. “It isn’t true-
What he said - Cora-” Cora can’t meet his eyes. “I did. I do.” Davey stumbles back. How could she give up so easily? Now she belongs to Jack. The girl he loves is owned by a god.
“As for you- Everybody gather 'round! Everybody look and see what becomes of trespassers with no respect for property!” Jack shouts. The workers stop, staring at the scene before them. Davey didn’t hear what Jack said next. All he knew was that he had failed. That Cora was no more.
“If it's true what they say. if there's nothing to be done. If it's true that it's too late, and the girl I love is gone. Is this how the world is?” Jack stops speaking. “To be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes? It'll always be like this? If it's true what they say, I'll be on my way.” Jack stares smugly at him. He had crushed the boy, hadn’t he. He was no threat, not anymore.
“And the boy turned to go 'cause he thought no one could hear. But everybody knows that walls have ears. And the workers heard him.” Medda sings. Jack hears her and silences her with a glare. But it was too late. For the workers had heard Davey’s words. They set down their hammers. They began to remember. Remember what love felt like. Air. Cold. Hunger. Joy. They stand behind Davey. They join him. They strike. Jack watches in anger as they turn against him.
“If it's true what they say, I'll be on my way. But who are they to say what the truth is anyway? 'Cause the ones who tell the lies are the solemnest to swear. And the ones who load the dice always say the toss is fair. And the ones who deal the cards are the ones who take the tricks
with their hands over their hearts while we play the game they fix. And the ones who speak the words always say it is the last and no answer will be heard to the question no one asks. So I'm askin' if it's true. I'm askin' me and you. And you. And you. I believe our answer matters more than anything they say.”
The workers listen as he speaks. Not even Jack dares cut him off. “I believe if there is still a will, then there is still a way. I believe there is a way. I believe in us together, more than anyone alone. I believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know. I believe we're stronger than they know. I believe that we are many. I believe that they are few. And it isn't for the few to tell the many what is true. So I ask you: If it's true what they say, I'll be on my way.”
“You dare defy me, boy? That will be your downfall. I gave you a chance to leave. You are foolish, young man. So very foolish.” Then Alex spoke. “What are you afraid of?” Jack looked down at her with confusion. “What?” 
“He's just a boy in love.” Jack brushed her words away with his hand. “Have a drink, why don't you?” Alex stands in front of him, her hands on her hips. “No, I've had enough. He loves that girl, Jack.” Alex’s eyes are imploring. “Well that’s too bad.” He states. “He has the kind of love for her that you and I once had.” 
Jack stiffens. “The girl means nothing to me.” Cora looks down at the ground. “I know, but she means everything to him.” Alex gestures at Davey, a broken expression on his face. “So?” Jack shows no emotion. “Let her go. Jack my husband, Jack my light, Jack my darkness. If you had heard how he sang tonight you'd pity poor Davey. All of the sorrow won't fit in his chest. It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest. And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest. How long?”
“How long? Just as long as Jack is king. Nothing comes of wishing on stars. And nothing comes of the songs people sing. However sorry they are, give them a piece they'll take it all. Show them a crack they'll tear down the wall. Lend them an ear and the kingdom will fall. The kingdom will fall for a song.” Jack looks at his kingdom. Built of metal and iron and gold, almost unbreakable. Almost. “What does he care for the logic of kings? The laws of your underworld? It is only for love that he sings. He sings for the love of a girl.” Alex argues.
“You and your pity don't fit in my bed. You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed. And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed. How long?” Jack snaps. “How long? Just as long as I am your wife. It's true the earth must die. But then the earth comes back to life, and the sun must go on rising.” The two stare at each other. The goddess of life and the god of death. One defending love. One defending a kingdom.

An anon asked me what my favorite aspects of Yuzu’s personality were, so I went off a little under the cut. Uh...sorry. All thoughts are my own.
Oh man. I'll answer this a bit differently than I usually would because I think a lot about how he has characteristics that /could/ generally be considered character flaws, but actually make him much more interesting and fascinating in my eyes. So I’ll skip some of the usual obvious reasons to love Mr. Extra, and dive a ‘lil deeper. 
1. (This is very biased since I don’t pay attention to other athletes as much as I do Yuzuru (yet), soz) His hyper-competitive, hyper-focused nature. Obviously you could argue that every athlete possesses it, but I feel like Hanyu takes it to a different level, very often. The headspace he gets into during 6 min warm up, (or the stance he takes when the final 6 skaters line up on the ice and his name gets announced, him raising his arms to the crowd with his head held high, but seemingly unaffected by the deafening cheers, eyes serious and even  dangerous in a way, out for nothing less than the gold), could be considered pretty scary, or to some (youtube comment sections are a gold mine) even rude and unnecessary. To me, those are some of the most intriguing and incredible moments to watch him, because that’s him, playing everyone, probably even himself, by creating an air of confidence that you cannot help but absolutely believe in. This unwillingness to show vulnerability or weakness, even if he may well be very vulnerable at that one moment or another, depending on whichever competition he's doing, because we all know better lol. He has an armor of steel and he knows exactly how to play his cards, he’s psychologically intimidating, as if all he has to do is flip a single switch in his head, whenever the situation demands it (rip dima who accidentally caught his eye at CoR lol poor bb). 
2. That brings me to my next point. His utter level of calculation and strategic thinking. I have a huge laugh everytime people, especially antis, underestimate him, physically but especially intellectually. Sometimes you look at him goofing off at practices or galas or him falling on his butt for absolutely no reason off ice, he’s our fave meme lord after all, but if you watch a single interview, you get reminded again what's really stored in that noggin of his. And it's astonishing if you consider this is a 23-you kid, and also that he's always been like this, on one level or another. It's pretty mindblowing how far ahead he is for his age, just on a human emotional scale, and how he takes time to gather his thoughts, to consider every side and aspect of a topic in his mind before he answers questions, how he tackles being the center of the media and an idol (he’s an athlete first, I am aware, but at this point it is undeniable that his public significance and position is exactly that of an idol/megastar) for an entire nation. That takes some nerves and endurance, i don’t know how he does it. As Javi said, his brain is pretty good. 
3. I love how unashamed he is about wanting and needing to be on top of his sport. He doesn't down-play it either. He will lift his finger into the air after a good skate and declare right then and there that he's won, even if he hasn't even seen his score yet. He is, in a way, a narcissist. And he loves it, too. He knows he is the best and he will be undefeated no matter what, if he delivers the skills he has trained so hard to possess over the course of his life, with all the obstacles that were and keep getting in his way. He will tell you to your face that he's better than you and will beat you next time if you beat him at a competition (rip pchiddy). He doesn't even hesitate. And people could and probably will call this arrogant or him being full of himself, but. That's never it. It's oddly, very humble and truthful, in my opinion. There is no actual hot-headed arrogance or greedy superiority there. It's simply a matter of fact. He can be a cocky bastard sometimes, oh yeah he can, don't get me wrong, but he Gets to be one. He’s earned it. And I actively celebrate when he is being a brat like that, not even gonna lie. He deserves to be. Where with most people this aura would probably bother me, with him, it makes him just more fascinating as the multi-layered person he is.
4. So then, in direct contrast to this, you also have the exact opposite of that  personality trait? The constant need to mention the masses of people that support him at all times. The fact he never forgets to mention that without the people watching, supporting and also competing alongside him, he would not be here, where he is right now. His soft tone when he speaks about Javier's influence on him, or when he literally had never ending face spasms and a skin breakout from nerves when Pl*shy praised him at CiONTU lol. The fact he doesn't neglect talking about the fans that cannot afford to see him live, including his international fans, everyone who supports him from home, he knows it and he publicly acknowledges it, because he cares. His deep, deep adoration for other athletes, or just people in general that try their best and work hard. His reverence, utter sadness and respect when he talks about 3/11 and how it impacted everything in his life, the ridiculously amazing amount of money and awareness he’s raised for the victims, the battle within himself afterwards, questioning if he’s “allowed” to keep chasing his own dream under the aspect of disaster striking so many people. His heartbreaking dedication to the sport itself, but also what he wants to express by skating (i.e. Requiem). The fact that he’s always stayed with both feet on the ground, and how he’s (outside of “competition-mode” on ice) always very soft, humble and grateful to others, and never ever acts superior or above others. His sportsmanship in general. The fact he cares so much about people. He overcomes obstacles that would have finished me 100 times over. He is so, so inspirational. His heart is golden. He claps his own thigh when he’s made an awful joke. He can’t walk properly when he’s off the ice. He’s obnoxiously perfectionist, which is so relatable. He’s a big old softie, that loves bear hugging like, everyone. His complete awareness of every single thing that carries meaning in his life and what got him to the place he is now, his will to overcome every hardship and come out stronger. So, so many aspects, so many layers. I love he.

I would love to hear more about your NaLu son, I adore when they have a son
hoooo boy nonny. Are you ready? cus I sure as FUCK am
Igneel Dragneel
aka, Elly
because Elly could not believe his parents actually named him fucking Igneel Dragneel
he understands it’s after his deceased grandpa dragon but ffs his name is ‘Igneel Dragon-Igneel’ wtf mom
Elly is the first born, and as such, has decided it is his job to protect his little baby sisters from the gross men of the world. 
it is the world that needs protection from his baby sisters
they are literal fucking demons okay like imagine Natsu as a tween with Lucy’s cunning and intelligence
it is
bad
His hair has a pink tinge in the sun but mostly looks like a reddy blond. He usually keeps it short and with either one or both sides shaved. He has his father’s eyes and his mother’s nose
He has three ear piercings all in his left ear
His guild mark stamp is between his shoulder blades and is gold
Elly realizes he is gay when he is six and his best-friend-five-ever is talking about how cute Dreyar is and Elly wholeheartedly agrees. The two spend their recess planning the joint marriage to this poor boy, Azure Redfox in a pretty white dress and Elly in a pretty white suit and Dreyar in a black suit.
its basically that shitty ‘x has two hands’ meme but schoolyard love version
Elly can be very set in his ideas
see; his little sisters can do no wrong
like objectively he is aware that if something explodes within a ten mile radius it’s probably Luna, but he is always very confident there was a good reason for it
the reason was that a random dude stole her coffee from the basically-starbucks shop and she called a firey storm of righteous fury from the sky and blew him to shit
if he decides you’re a good person you could kill a man in front of him and he’d help you hide the body
alternatively, if he decides he doesn’t like you, you better buckle the FUCK in for one hell of a bumpy ride to change that idea
The boy has Natsu’s hatred of change and it drives his mother up the wall
He also has Lucy’s imagination and zero tolerance for bullshit attitude
Elly LOVES spicy food but he can also only take three bites before it gets to much and he needs to chug the milk gallon
Elly has a stuffed dragon he calls Mr. Scales and he will cut a bitch if they look at him the wrong way. 
so what if a wing has had to be sown on five separate times and it’s faded and black glass eyes are so scratched they’re grey it is his friend and he has aged like fine wine 
The easiest way to get Elly to do something is to tell him not to do it and give him no reason as to why not
If you explain to him he is likely to see the logic or at least respect you more for treating him like a fucking human but if you say ‘bcus I said so’ you can bet your ass he’s gonna climb to the top of the bell tower from the outside and fucking hit the lunch gong at 11:16 and fuck everyone’s internal clock up
This also manifests as a lot of spite and apathetic rage (how?? who knows) at homophobes
He’s usually lowkey bcus it was never made a big deal of in his family and you don’t see normal boys being extra straight and also while he gets crushes as easily as Lucy he cares for a real relationship about as much as Natsu
Mitsu: Hey, Gail was checking out your ass today
Elly: Oh that’s nice
Tatsu: Yesterday you literally said if you had a womb you’d carry his children
Elly: Yeah but have you seen  Ulijha’s eyes today?? Take me now please you green haired knight of muscle
Mitsu and Tatsu in synchronization: why are you like this
However he will deck out in all leather assless chaps and pride flags if he thinks for a hot second you have a problem with gay people
Lucy helps him bcus she’s so proud of her little boy standing up to bigots and she doesn’ for a second doubt his ability to punch out a motherfucker if someone tried to make it physical 
But he will do it in a way where the person is unsure if it’s just ironic timing or if Elly is being a Bitter Bitch and being passive aggressive
Elly gets irritated easily over minor things but that goes as quickly as it comes. Now if you really piss him off you won’t know until he snaps and then cuts you out of his life. Boy can hold a grudge. 
He may have inherited many things from his parents but forgiveness to the point of being a flaw is not one of them. 
There will be consequences if you’ve fucked up
Very, very, cold and painful consequences
MAGIC
Elly decides he wants to be a dragon slayer like his father, but fire always seemed so volatile to him and brash
he was always entranced with the winter and snow and Uncle Gray’s creation and manipulation of ice
Natsu is. Betrayed
how dare his own flesh and blood prefer to be like that Dick-sicle than his own father???
Lucy has to remind him that it was Natsu’s idea to make Gray the godfather of his children
Natsu asks how that has any relevance
Elly perfected his ‘do you see the shit I have to put up with?’ at a very early age due to his mother’s conversations with his father and mimicking her facial expressions
When Elly is twelve he asks if Gray can help train him alongside Natsu so he could practice both skills. 
Elly takes to ice like Luna to fire. His rate of learning and mastering dragon slayer techniques skyrockets, and over the years he also manages to combine lighting and ice dragon slayer magic, and shadow and ice dragon slayer techniques. 
Oh how the next generation builds on the work of their parents
Gray brings his son Tenkiame to the training session
Elly has known Tenten since he was born, but watching the nine month older boy train Awakens Things. 
Elly works even harder to train and get stronger to impress Tenkiame. He may also be a tad bit competitive and legit just wants to surpass him, but it’s mainly trying to get his attention and impress him. 
The first time he performs a successful Roar of the Ice Dragon he accidentally pins Tenkiame to the guild wall. 
Tenkiame doesn’t stop complain-bragging about it to everyone for a week
Elly is a flustered and mortified mess. 
As the years pass the crush fades but never fully goes away, but the boys grow to be inseparable. 
Tenkiame makes the first move and kisses him and Elly runs away for a month as he tries to process his emotions and the major change in his world
He runs away to Natsu’s old cottage and Lucy rolls her eyes but leaves her dumb seventeen-year-old son alone
He comes back with his tail between his legs and has a long and painfully awkward conversation with Tenkiame bcus even tho he’s Lucy’s son he is also Natsu’s and the boy does not use words to explain his emotions well
Tenkiame, however, can translate dumb dragon and listens patiently. 
Tenkiame has inherited his mother’s steadfast determination of ‘wait and the boy will come to you if you wear him down enough’
For most missions the group is Elly, Tenkiame, Azure and her fellow triplets; Aegen and Admirl. 
yes the triplets are named after shades of blue starting with A
Levy is a fucking linguist nerd what are you expecting here
