A collection of one shots By Me.
What if she could have been saved? What if she had died? What if it was his fault? What if he had been to late? What if... what if... what if...
...He hadn't found her in time?
Gajeel roared. "The hell's wrong with this exam?! Pick a path, find a grave. I just wanna punch Salamander or Erza."
"So you don't care about me..." Gajeel stopped at that remark. He turned his head to look Levy dead in the eyes. "I didn't say that."
"But you always just want to fight with everyone! You never even look at me..."
"Aw. You want some attention, Shrimp? Then fight me. Get stronger!" He taunted, whilst patting her mass of soft blue hair.
'How dare he' Levy's mind spun and swam with thoughts. 'Fight, him. Get stronger. Fight. Be strong. WHAT DOES HE THINK I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO, I'M NOT TRYING TO STAY WEAK FOREVER?! How the hell can he understand? I'm not strong. I'm... I'm...'
"I'm weak, and small." The words escaped her mind and slipped through her lips to Gajeel's ears. But she didn't dwell on that, the inconsiderate jerk wouldn't understand anyway.
"I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!" Before he could utter a single sentence she spun on her heel, and ran. "GAJEEL NO, BAKA!*" She screamed as she ran off.
She ran. She didn't care that she only had 6 hours to finish the exam. 'WHAT A JERK! What's with him? Just when I thought he was, sort of, a good person.' The petite mage ran until tears started to well in her hazel eyes.
"I'll blow away any guy you don't like" The words rang through her mind.
'He just wanted to beat someone up' She tried to convince herself 'He didn't care about me. I hate him.' She shock her head rid of any thoughts about the iron hearted man. 'IhatehimIhatehimIhatehim.' Her paces drew slower, as the memories attempted to invade her mind again. 'I...'
"I'll make you big."
"Hate..." She almost choked on her own words with realization, maybe he did care about her. The tears threatened to trickle down her cheeks. 'How could I run away from him? He was only trying to be kind.'
Her thoughts were cut short by the sound of rustling bushes. "Gajeel?" She called out, hopefully.
Two figures lept from the thick brush, eyes trained on Levy and full of murderous intent. No, it most certainly wasn't Gajeel. If it was Gajeel he'd have lept from the bush a tickled her to death, or snuck up behind her, hoisted her up by the the scruff of her neck and scolded her for running off. She would've grinned at the thought, if not for the two attackers hogging her attention.
A sword glistened in the sun, before being swept across Levy's face, causing her headband to fly off and forcing her to fall onto her butt. "Wh...what...!? Who are you?!" She demanded. The second attacker reach at her from behind. He grasped her dainty wrists in one of his massive hands and drove her to the ground, pinning her soft chest down with the other.
"You first." A gruff, emotionless voice stated, as his sword was brought up high above his head.
Levy's eyes widened in terror as the blade caught the sun's gleam and sparkled with a demand for blood. She kicked her legs and screamed. No matter hoe hopeless, there was no way in hell she was going to give up, without a fight, so she thrashed, and she kicked, and she screamed bloody murder. 'Gajeel...
The sword came crashing down.
'...save me.'
Then the screaming stopped. With a sickening crunch her body stopped thrashing. Her body twitched in dead protest as the sword was removed. Flecks of blood stained the grass and the murderous bastards left, in search of more prey.
Gajeel ran. He heard the script mage scream. Her scream made his blood curdle. Never had he heard her scream like that before, not even when he beat her to an inch of her life. Her screams were always filled with: concern, for a friend, laughter, or they were just downright playful. But not this one. This one was filled with panic, fear and helplessness.
He had to reach her. He had to save her. He promised he'd protect her. HE HAD TO SAVE HER GOD-DAMN IT!
As he reached the clearing everything seemed to go in slow motion... no... even that would have been to fast to describe the events, time stopped completely.
The dragon slayer's eyes grew wide, his irises grew narrow and his breathing came in slow, painful gasps at the sight. He didn't dare move in fear of his legs giving way. Fear. Like a multitude of other emotions that was something he hadn't felt since joining fairy tail, they were so, wonderfully stupid. But everything good comes at a price. Happiness and joy have to be balanced out by misery and pain.
He fell to his knees by Levy's lacerated corpse. Carefully, he pulled her limp torso to rest on his lap.
'GAJEEL NO BAKA*'
Tears stared to pool in his crimson eyes. "Guess I really am a baka, eh' shorty."
"It's Levy..." A weak, barley audible voice gasped. Gajeel stared in disbelief at the source. "B... but... I... I forgive you." Ignoring the double meaning, Gajeel grasped the soft hand that had worked it's way to rest on his cheek. "B... because... because I... love..." Tears fell in abundance down her face- mostly hers but a few of a certain dragon found their way into the mix- A pained, yet angelic smile formed on her lips as she let the last word free.
"You."
At that, her hand fell limp and her eyes closed on the world. Doing the only thing he could think to do, Gajeel threw his head back, towards the sky, and roared. He roared until his throat hurt and kept going, wordless, and seemingly meaningless, it was filled with sadness, pain, fury, vengeance and, perhaps above all, love.
The end. (*Baka no gajeel=stupid Gajeel)
How could I do that to Levy? I loves her, I'M THE WORST FAN EVER!
*Fake sobs*
Did I mention the sobs were fake? Why you ask?
Simple... Did you forget that those with the mark of fairy tail can't die on the island due to the first's protection.
tut.
tut.
tut.
Silly fans. Now READ ON!
Wendy cast her eyes towards the sound. Quickly she gave a small bow to Mest. "I'm sorry Mest-san." She called out shyly, before she darted off towards the sound. Faster than her legs should be able to run, she ran, until she came upon the source. Sitting in a clearing flecked with blood, was Gajeel, cradling a cold, lifeless Levy.
At least she should have been Lifeless -She was cut lengthways, all of her organs up to her lungs were visible and she'd lost enough blood to feed a vampire for a month- Yet she wasn't dead. Something in the air was forcing her to stay alive. 'So that's why Master chose this island for the test' She thought, as she let a silvery blue light engulf her hands. She knelt beside the older bluenette and closed her eyes as her magic pieced her body back together.
'Strange' She thought. 'It's almost as if someones helping me.' She cracked an eye open and almost gasped. There, in an almost astral form, was a beautiful young woman, with calm jade eyes, forcing Levy to stay alive by pumping magic into her Fairy tail insignia.
With a sharp snap of bones mending together Wendy was brought out of her thoughts and in a few minuets had fully healed Levy. She guessed that it was only her who could see the strange woman, earlier, because Gajeel didn't know what she was talking about and almost crushed her in a hug.
Without a word Wendy left her fellow dragon slayer with his crush, and left to return to her partner.
As soon as Levy's eyes started to open Gajeel crashed his lips upon hers, thus causing her to wake up flustered and embarrassed.
"Love ya to, Shrim-p." Gajeel smirked, popping the "p" to let her know that she'd never out grown the nickname. She smiled as he gave her another soft kiss. "Tell me. Why are blunettes so fucking incredible?" He asked. It was Levy's turn to smile at this. She pulled his head down and met his lips once again.
Ok this really is the end. Hope you enjoyed it :)
