Hi there! I am Levy McGarden, and I want to tell you a story about a mysterious, blonde dragon slayer and the product of fate.
On this fateful day, I've spend the past five hours searching for the last book to complete my collection. So what I just said was true, but I've been hiding from my guild mates after Gajeel and I broke up. I understand he is a dragon, but possessiveness is not attractive in every situation. It would also be nice to be asked on date rather than told we were going on dates. Needless to say, I have met my limits with dragon slayers. Could I swear off men completely now? Mirajane would be upset if I did that, but the demon can match make Gajeel as a little payback for me giving her love advice about Laxus.
A smile escaped my lips as I thought about Mira's surprised expression as I causal mentioned Laxus' crush on her. I should know - he was a brother to me after all. He has also been extremely helpful on keeping my dark stalker away so I figured nudging them would be the least that I could do. Gajeel was starting to make Juvia look like an amateur. A regrettable sigh escaped my lips. If he had only been kinder and more considerate, then maybe this would have ended differently.
I sneezed as I brushed some dust from the top shelf. Filled with excitement, I started to jump up and down to celebrate only to just to remember I was actually standing on a ladder. A little squeal escaped my lips. Nervousness flowed through my body as I leaned on the bookshelf, but I was vertical challenged. Sometimes being short had its benefits, but right now, my shortness was a disadvantage. So I stepped on to the top of the ladder and the tallest shelf like an idiot to reach for the book. Unfortunately, I just had to have the book. You don't understand! I really did have to have this new Dragon Queen book, and I found a copy that someone stashed at the top.
Feeling overjoyed, I placed on foot on the shelf next to the ladder. Big mistake there! I may be small, but old book shelves do not like to be leaned on so I fell. Bracing myself for the impact of the hardwood floor and numerous piles of books, I curled up into the smallest ball possible. But nothing happened, well except for falling into a strong set of male arms. Heat crept into my face before I looked at my savior.
I glanced up to see sky blue eyes and spiky blonde hair. The smile that greeted me reminded me of the description of when Greek gods came among the humans. A blushed covered my face as I realized I was staring. He held on to me for a few minutes longer staring down at my face. Then it hit me! I knew this man. Sting Eucliffe, Sabertooth's Master.
Oh god, what have I done? Why, oh why, did it have to be a dragon slayer? Fear entered my eyes as his face crept closer to mine. Would he kiss me – a girl he just met? Wait! What am I saying? I swore off dragon slayers, and I am attracted to the first one whose arms I fell into.
No, he wouldn't kiss a girl he just met! I'm not that kind of girl either, but I was willing to let him. I could sense so much surging through his arms. Then to my surprise, he asked a simple question. "Are you okay?"
His closes was only to inspect if any damage occurred to my face. Shock register on my face as a smile graced his. "At a loss for words, beautiful?"
"I…huh, thank you for saving me." I managed to stutter. I felt my face turn ten shades of red as he graceful placed me on the floor.
"It's not every day that I get to be a hero." He said smugly.
"If I remember correctly, you are Sabertooth's master, correct?"
"Ah, so you do know who I am. I was wondering if you remembered me."
I nudged the books surrounding me with my toe. "How can I not remember one of the 7 dragon slayers?" I looked away shyly. Then I mumbled out my next few sentence lightning fast. "My name is Levy. I'm from Fairy Tail. Our guilds have worked on some job quest together, and I saw you fight in the Grand Magic Games a few years ago so it's kind of hard not to know who you are, Sting Eucliffe."
His grinned widen. "I also know of you, Levy McGarden. You are actually the reason I came to Magnolia." My brows drew together in a frown. "Don't worry, I am not here to start a war with your iron dragon. I come to seek your expertise. When I visited Fairy Tail, MiraJane told me where I could find you. I just guess luck was on your side when you fell into my arms. I call that perfect timing, shortstuff." Sting said with a wink.
At this moment, I wasn't sure if I wanted to strangle him, drop an iron bar over his head, or for some awful reason kiss him. Unfortunately, I was pretty sure the later was the effect of being near such a handsome man and his exposed abs. Honestly I swear this is not normal for me to even be thinking like this! Generally, I am all business, but this dragon slayer did something to me. It was like something inside me called to him and vise versa. I could see the effect of our closeness in his eyes.
I wrapped a finger around the tie of my head band. It's a nervous habit that I have. "Uhm, Master Sting, you were miss informed about one thing. I am not with Gajeel anymore since we have parted ways. You should not have any issues from our guild's dragon slayers unless you plan to cause trouble. Laxus and Natsu are like brothers to me. If I give them the go-ahead, they will make sure all the others cooperate with you."
He grabbed my hand at my side. "And will you cooperate with me without having to ask their permission, Levy?" I nodded at him because my throat felt like sandpaper. This man looked like the same Sting from a few years ago, but he was not the same person. He was more mature, sure of himself in an attractive yet not cocky way. I was also impressed by his ability to ask me my opinion rather than being told. If I didn't watch myself, I was going to be falling for yet another dragon slayer. But I couldn't shake a feeling of being watched.
I would like to note that the plotline is mine, but the characters and everything else wonderful world of Fiora is Fairy Tail's creator Hiro Mashima. This is my first fanficiton. I find the Levy X Sting pairing unusual and fascinating. Please continue to look for updates!
