Chapter 1 - Her
Gajeel Redfox wasn't one for feelings. Hell, his usual stoic nature and dark past told everyone this much. But as he sat in his usual solitary corner in Fairy Tail, he couldn't help but crack a small grin as the boisterous group started another drinking contest. Normally, this would have been a fun filled drinking contest with a couple friends, but since Fairy Tail didn't seem to understand what the norm was, he wasn't shocked as this contest soon turned into an all out battle.
He watched in mild amusement as Natsu sped past him while throwing his empty mug at Gray, claiming that he was cheating. He then saw a very naked ice mage running past, throwing a chair back in retort while a hysterical blonde celestial mage trailed after both of them, yelling at Gray to put some clothes on and for Natsu to stop breaking the guild's property. Gajeel slumped back into his chair lazily, using the wall behind him and his arms as a pillow and chuckled silently as the battle unfolded. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that this new guild, or rather his new family, had changed him.
He was content about everything in his life, at least when he wasn't thinking about her.
Levy, the girl who was everything he wasn't and couldn't be. She was small, intelligent, caring while he was built from years of harsh battle and preferred to smash someone's face in rather than having a conversation. She was the girl who had managed to break into the walls he had built and taken his iron heart and melted it with just her smile.
Especially after partnering up with her in the S-Class Exams, he couldn't stop the subtle stares or the tightness he felt in his groin area every time he saw her in that curve-hugging dress…
Shit! Get a hold of yourself!
Gajeel tried to pry his thoughts away from her alluring body and shifted uncomfortably in his chair, trying to suppress the blood rushing down to his groin area. As much as he forced himself to stop this almost maddening attraction towards her, he just couldn't help it. The infamous Iron Dragon Slayer had fallen hopelessly and miserably in love.
