Levy was sitting in one of the many chairs at the guild with a large book and pages spread across the table she was seated by. Her knees pulled up to her chest, her eyes narrowed and her brows furrowed behind the ruby red glasses that were perched carefully on the end of her nose, anyone could tell that she was in her own world, focusing on the heavy tome in front of her. Normally, no one would bother to disturb her when she was concentrating on research but, a certain dragon slayer was not like most people. Levy did not even sense his intimidating presence come up behind her until he clapped his large, heavy hand on her bare shoulder, enticing a high pitched squeak from her lips. She spun in her seat to discover the foreign presence and relaxed at the sight of her familiar friend.

"Gajeel! I nearly had a heart attack!"

The hearty chuckle that rumbled from the broad chest of the tall mage helped a small blush form across the solid script mage's nose and cheeks from embarrassment.

"Sorry Shrimp. Din mean to scare ya."

Gajeel fell into a chair next to Levy and looked at the large book curiously as he leaned forward in his seat.

"Whatcha doing, Bookworm? That book is bigger than you!"

Levy glared at the man and dragged her attention back to the relatively new book in front of her.

"I'm translating a language. A dead one."

Gajeel simply looked confused as he regarded the papers and notebooks sprawled across the table.

"Looks like useless scribbles to me."

He grumbled as he settled back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest.

"Well, to me it's not! What did you need, Gajeel? Did you just come over here to tease me?"

Levy huffed at him as she imitated his form, crossing her arms, covering her chest. The iron dragon slayer regarded her with slight surprise. Usually the bookworm wasn't this touchy when it concerned a book. It finally dawned on him after looking at the woman next to him and he chuckled.

"You can't figure out this… thing."

He pointed out, referring to the large book.

"That's why you're being a brat!"

She simply gaped at him, about to defend her case when she sighed and let her shoulders fall.

"I'm sorry Gajeel. I've never seen a language like this one and Master asked me to translate it but, so far, I've only been able to translate the word for a person's backside and, usually, it's not this difficult!"

As her rant ended with a groan, she set her head on the table in defeat, not even noticing the grin on the face of the mage beside her.

"Go on a mission with me then."

Levy snapped her head up to glance at the grinning Gajeel who was leaning on the table.

"Wha- but, what about Lily?"

Gajeel shrugged and leaned back in his chair again, intertwining his fingers behind his head.

"He took a mission by himself, it seems like you need a break from this translating shit and that damn barmaid pushed this stupid mission on me claiming that only you and I could do it or some shit like that. Apparently, it warns of runes and traps."

Little did Gajeel know that Mirajane and Lucy had been collaborating and planning to get Levy and the man together and they would be damned if this plan didn't work.

Levy glanced at Gajeel suspiciously.

"What are the details of this mission?"

Gajeel smirked as he recited what Mirajane told him.

"Finding the ancient library of Fiore and securing its location. But, it's been lost for over a hundred years. There are rumors of monsters, traps and rogue mages. You up for it shrimp?"

He raised his eyebrows in challenge but, he can tell that Levy will go because of the sparkle in her eyes at the mention of a lost library. The tiny mage swiftly stood, placing her hands on the large tome and regarded Gajeel with a smile.

"Heck yes I'm up for it!

"Well, get your things ready, Midget. We're leavin' tonight."

First multi-chapter fic! And yes, I have at least a few chapters planned for this one and I have another one in the making! That one will be a long one. I hope. But, I hope you like this chapter! I should have another one up in a week but, don't hold me to it! I suck with updating. Review! Tell me what you think!
