Unpopular Ships – Natsu and Levy
Chapter 1:
Levy focused on her book, drowning out the outside noises that threatened to distract her. She wasn't surprised it was always this way, she'd long ago learnt how to read at the guild. Fairy Tail had been her home since she was eight-years-old the second longest of the younger generation of Fairy Tail, Cana had been here the longest, without looking up from her book Levy could see Cana's outline by the bar downing an entire barrel of wine. Jet and Droy had come to the guild when she was thirteen and they instantly became friends and formed Shadow Gear. Levy tried to ignore the ruckus when a fight broke out, at first between Natsu and Grey as usual but then Elfman got involved, and Max and Warren, then Jet and Droy and Cana and Macao and Wakaba and on and on, poor Lucy was hiding behind Mira behind the bar, Wendy with the cats were doing the same as Gajeel and Erza joined the fray after Erza's cake was hit and Gajeel got sick of them all.
Same as usual she thought standing to get out of the way of flying guild mates and debris, however before she found cover, Natsu went flying past her into the wall.
"Oh are you okay?" she asks helping him right himself.
"Yeah of course, that bastard hit me with a cheap shot, you'll pay for that Grey!" Natsu yelled rushing back into the thick of it, Levy rolled her eyes and headed upstairs in the hope of being safer, the Thunder Legion and Laxus were up there watching the fight.
"Taking refuge from the fight" Freed observes.
"Yeah I'm really not rowdy enough to get in these fights"
"Fair enough a lady shouldn't be a part of such foolish behavior" Evergreen says her fan covering her mouth.
"More like I prefer living" Levy says with a laugh getting herself a seat away from the edge to continue reading it wasn't two minutes later lightning suddenly flashed brightly in front of her. A bad flashback brought her back to the time Laxus threw lightning at Jet and Droy but almost hit her, if Gajeel hadn't blocked it, she'd be barbequed.
Something similar was happening now only Laxus was the one defending her.
"Cut it out you morons! You almost hit Levy!" Laxus shouted shutting the whole guild up.
"That's enough fools!" Gramps concurs.
"While I accept you all have your fights I only allow it as long as you don't go overboard, and especially don't involve someone who actively avoids fights, you know that's the rules!" he shouts at them.
"Levy are you alright?!" Gramps calls.
"Yeah thanks master, you especially Laxus, I didn't even see it coming" Levy says her heart in her throat still clutching her book.
"Don't mention it" Laxus said in his usual standoff manner but Levy knew better after all she'd grown up with him, Cana and Levy knew him better than most people, even the Thunder Legion who were a bit too worshipping of him to see him fully.
"Alright I want most of you to clear out and think about what you've done, don't you deadbeats have jobs to go on?!" Gramps grumbles before downing his beer.
The guild slowly filed out after checking the board or just leaving, Levy saw Lucy grab a job and run out with Wendy, Happy and Carla in tow, Natsu was still recovering on the floor. Erza and Grey teamed up to go out as well, Juvia following stealthily as she usually did.
"We should take a job too" Laxus decides looking at the S-Class requests he rips one off the board and his team mates follow him.
"Be safe guys" Levy calls after them.
"Like we need it hahaha!" Bixlow cackles, Levy smiles and makes her way downstairs, Jet and Droy were knocked out on the floor and Natsu was only just sitting up holding his head. Levy got an icepack form Mira and gave it to Natsu.
"Thanks Levy" he says holding the ice to a welt on his brow.
"No problem, looks like Lulu ditched you though"
"What?!" he shouted jumping up and looking around.
"Happy too! What the hell?! Uhh" he groans taking a seat to stop feeling dizzy.
"Why did they leave me?"
"They might have wanted to take a job that didn't end in disaster" Levy offers.
"Where's the fun in that?" he grins; Levy shakes her head with a smile.
Same old Natsu Levy thought and it was, he really hadn't changed much since she first met him when they were ten. He might have grown and gotten a hell of a lot stronger but he was still Natsu. They'd never been close friends not like Lucy and him or Levy with Jet and Droy but they still looked out for each other when they could, she remembered when all of Shadow Gear had been attacked by Gajeel how angry all the guild was for the attack and how he charged in first for them while they were in hospital.
"Damn, and I was really looking forward to going on a job today" Natsu sulks. Levy felt sorry for him Natsu was always a ball of unending energy and it was really sad when he was down.
"Why don't you go on a job?" Levy asks it wasn't like the request board was empty, Shadow Gear should be going on a job soon too. Levy looked over to her teammates still past out, they wouldn't be going anywhere for a while.
"I haven't gone on a job by myself since Lucy joined the guild, sure around the S-Class Trials Happy and Me did a few jobs but it's not the same, especially since Happy left too!" Natsu ends with a scream of fire, Levy moves back enough to not get a face full of fire. Natsu sat crossed legged, arms crossed sulking, Levy smiled he was just so…Natsu.
Levy went over and checked the board, while she usually passed over really hard requests because she knew her team's strengths and weaknesses she knew Natsu was a lot tougher. One in particular looked perfect, she grabbed it and shimmied it in front of Natsu.
"How about this?" she offers, Natsu grabs it.

"Whoa cool 2 million for these clowns sweet!" Natsu cheers jumping up.
"Thought you might like that"
"Hell yeah, I'm fired up now, come on Levy!" Natsu grab's Levy's wrist and pulls her towards the door.
"What me?" she asks confused.
"Yeah you chose the job and now you gotta do it with me!" he says excited, Levy ran every hesitation and reason this could be bad before smiling grabbing her bag as they passed it and racing after him.
"Alright!"
Levy and Natsu are teaming up for a job but neither of them, nor anyone else could predict what happens next.
