Hello dear readers. This is my first fanfic. The characters may be a little too OOC, I already warned you.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, only the OCs. This is only the fruit of my imagination.
Hope you like it... XD

Crush on Him
It was just another blissful day in Magnolia. Levy McGarden, the bubbly blue haired solid script mage skidded happily along her way to the Fairy Tail Guild. Today, I'm going to confess to Him, she thought. She practically thought about confessing to Him almost every day after she was sure that it was a real crush. She smiled then sighed, perhaps not today.
Levy pushed open the giant guild's door and was immediately welcomed by the usual brawling in the guild. She squinted her eyes a little to scan around the room and finally spotted a certain blonde sitting at the bar talking with the barmaid.
"Lu-Chan!" waved Levy while dodging a chair flying into her direction. As usual, Natsu and Gray were fighting.
"Is that all you got, Stripper?" smirked Natsu, the Fire Dragon Slayer.
"What did you called me, Flame Brain?" replied Gray, the Ice mage with only in his boxers. Apparently, Gray had ''lost'' his clothes again. The two pressed foreheads together and blows were exchanged. Luckily for them, Erza was not here. Or else they would have received a good beating about starting a fight and they would pretend to be in their 'best buddy mode'.
Levy quickly ran to her best female friend, Lucy and quickly sat down beside her before receiving any more furniture flying towards her.
"Hello Levy-Chan!" smiled Lucy. "Here, this is the new chapter of my new book" she said happily while handing over a stack of papers to Levy. The latter stared at it in her hands like some kind of valuable treasure and jumped up on her feet, squealing with delight.
"Really?! It's finally done! Oh I can't wait any longer to know who Juliet is in love with." Levy clutched at the stack of papers to her chest protectively.
Lucy is an excellent writer and always leaves a chapter with a cliff hanger which makes you want to read more. Lucy smiled up at the little blue haired mage. She truly loves this girl.
"Sit down and have your breakfast, Levy" said Mira-Jane calmly while rolling her eyes at her. Levy quickly obeyed and started munching on her food.
"So…" started Lucy, "when will you~ confess-to-Him?" she said the last three words quickly.
Levy nearly choked on her food and quickly grabbed the glass of water handed to her by Mira-Jane. Apparently, Mira-Jane had come nearer to the two girls when she heard the three words: ''confess to Him''. Mira-Jane who was the Fairy Tail Guild's barmaid, loved gossips and doing matchmaking above anything.
"Who is he? Is he in this guild? Since when? For how long? When and how did you found out you had a crush on him? What is his name? Just who is this lucky HIM?'' Mira-Jane panted after letting a river of questions flowing out of her mouth.
She stared at the little blue haired mage who was blushing furiously. Averting her eyes away from her, her eyes met with the blonde's. They both seemed to be doing some telepathy as Mira-Jane's eyes suddenly widened and she shouted. "NO WAY!" The barmaid shrieked with happiness as she had understood who was this Lucky Him. Everybody in the guild had to cover up their ears as Mira-Jane continued her shrieking. When they saw the evil glint in her eyes, they quickly turned back to their business as they didn't want to mess up with the devil.
Sitting quietly at the table in far end of the guild but not too far from the bar, he watched the little Bookworm making her way to sit beside the Bunny Girl. He went on munching his piece of iron and nearly choked when Bunny Girl said something to Levy about confessing to someone. He had to wince at the pain his ears experienced when he heard the Devil shrieked as he was a dragon slayer with enhanced senses, which meant that he heard the shrieking ten times better than a normal being.
"What the heck!" he frowned at the three girls.
"Apparently, Levy has a crush on someone" replied his Exceed, Panther Lily.
"I know!" Gajeel snapped at him. "But who is he?" he hissed to Lily who shrugged and went on sipping his kiwi juice.
Gajeel leaned his back against the wall and tried to use his dragon's sense of hearing to better hear what the girls were talking about.
"Eavesdropping again?" asked Lily.
"Shaddup cat, I can't hear," groaned Gajeel. Lily chuckled at him as it was not the first time that Gajeel eavesdropped on a certain solid script mage.
Who was she talking about with Bunny Girl and the Devil? I wonder who this guy is. Yes, the all mighty Gajeel Redfox was jealous. Jealous of anyone who came near to his Levy. No wait. He slapped himself mentally, not his. He was not good enough for her. He hurt her and vowed to never do that again. However, whoever this guy was, Gajeel was going to give him a good beating. The corners of his lips curled up slightly at the thought.
"Stop staring, Gajeel," the deep voice of his Exceed lectured.
"I wanna know who they are talking about!" Gajeel grumbled stubbornly, arms crossed over his broad chest. He was frustrated as the girls did not feel inclined to say the guy's name and went on and on while giving Levy advices about what she should do.
Gajeel watched them for what it seemed like hours and at times, he would even notice Levy glanced around in the room and burst into another fit of giggles with the other two girls. Gajeel would rise up an eyebrow while continuing eating his piece of iron whenever Levy would burst out laughing. She is cute, thought Gajeel. He slapped himself mentally again. What am I thinking?!
Lily saw his partner struggling with his emotions and sighed. He's so dense and damn stupid, he thought. Lily got up on his tiny feet on the table and spread out his wings.
"Where ya goin'?" asked Gajeel.
Lily did not reply and flew off to Levy.
"Hi Levy!" greeted Lily while he flew down to sit on her lap. He loved to be cuddled by Levy even though he did not like to show it. Levy petted him lovingly and he purred silently with contentment. "AWWWWWW" exclaimed her friends while watching the cute Lily.
"What were you talking about?" asked Lily innocently.
"Some girl stuff," quickly replied Levy while stroking his soft fur.
"You know, Levy is in love~!" exclaimed Mira-Jane with hearts in her eyes. Levy blushed hard and held Lily tightly against her.
Gajeel looked at his cat and Levy. He was jealous again, and this time, of his cat as he was being cuddled so lovingly by Levy. He watched her stroked his fur and held him at arm length high in the air like a child. He so much wanted to be in the place of his cat. What the heck! There's definitely something wrong with me. he sighed and reached his hand out for the big mug of beer. He chugged it down quickly like trying to drown his thoughts.
At the end of the day, Lily returned to Gajeel with a slight pink tint on his cheeks. He coughed to try to ease his embarrassment of how Levy made him behaved all day. Gajeel looked at his cat questioningly "So did ya find out?" Lily shrugged. "Damn it!"
Levy walked back to her new house which was not too far from the guild. She had just moved out of Fairy Hills where most of the female members of the guild stayed. She wanted a bigger house -practically needed a mansion- to be able to keep all her books. She could have sold them off but they were too precious for her. Each and every book was unique and had its own appeal.
While walking she thought of her day with Lucy and Mira-Jane. They looked so happy and so sure that her crush would love her back.
But why, she asked herself. She had nothing special. She was short, weak and didn't have the best features her friends possessed. She never questioned herself about her looks. But since she was attracted to a certain dragon slayer, she couldn't help asking herself if he would love her back.
Since the S-class examination, she found herself weak and was always depending on Him. I'm weak, she sighed to herself when she thought back how she was saved by Him from Laxus' attack. Twice. And on Tenrou Island. I'm going to work hard to increase my skills. With that thought in mind, she turned around and went to the opposite direction towards the library. She was going to find some new books to train herself. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice the man who was following her.
