Fandom: Fairy Tail

Ship Title: Gajevy/Gale

Rating: T+ (for foul language (Gajeel has a potty mouth) :P and some sexual references)

A.N.: This is my first time writing a fanfiction, so I apologize if it's not that good. I will try my best! The first chapter is on Gajeel's perspective, the second on Levy's. I don't think I did the first chapter as good as the second. It's really hard to write Gajeel's perspective because I relate more to Levy. I like to think though that Gajeel has a hard time with words and feelings, so it's harder for me to write him because he's more action oriented rather than word oriented. This is set at the end of the Grand Magic Games, during the masquerade/grand ball in the anime episode 199. There is also a scene based of Rboz's fanart from tumblr. It's the one I'm using as the picture on here. Go check her stuff out! She does amazing stuff. On a side note, there is a reference to 'air' in this chapter. If all you Gajevy fans read the chapter where Levy gives Gajeel air you will know what this is referring too. Although it happened later, I thought it would be fun to include it! :P

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or it's characters, Hiro Mashima does.

Gajeel hated fancy social events. You have to dress in a fancy outfit, comb your hair, and be social. All the things he hated. He pulled on his tie trying to loosen it.

"Hey! Why are you pouting in the corner?" Lily asks as he flies over to stand next to the Gajeel.

Gajeel glared at him, "I'm not fucking pouting."

"Eh, if you say so."

They stood in comfortable silence next to each other as they watched the festivities continue. Lily drinking his kiwi juice and Gajeel standing with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.

"She's siting at a table right outside of the main room," Lily says glancing up at Gajeel.

Gajeel's forward twitches a little. "I'm not even looking for Shorty."

"I didn't even say who, so you must have been!" Lily replies as he flies off winking at Gajeel.

"Dammit Lil!" replies Gajeel watching him as he goes to talk to the Fish Cat.

He continues standing in the corner, wondering what could have caused the Shrimp to not be here. He sees her 2 dumb and dumber at the feasting table not even bothered that she isn't with them. It irks him a little that they don't even seem to notice that she isn't there. She seems to care more about their friendship then the two hooligans do. He could never understand why. As he waits a couple of more minutes for a short spunk with blue hair to show up, with no luck, he gets a little worried. All of Fairy Tail is here except for her. What could be keeping her? Did she trip and break and ankle- Fuck, why is he even thinking about her… She can take care of herself, he thinks just as a flashback of what he did to her when they first met appears in his head. Her nailed to a tree beaten within an inch of her life. Fuck. He needed to get out of here, he hated what he did in the past and can't forget. He needed air to clear his head.

As he walks out of the main room, he wonders down the hall a little and then finds the desk with Shrimp siting in it. She was urgently writing something, so he stayed in the shadows watching her. He couldn't understand why she would go in to danger as he was fighting the dragon just the night before. She showed up just as the dragon was disappearing luckily. The question was why. She even had a relieved expression on her face when she saw that he was okay. He couldn't understand it. After everything he did to her, she still cared about him. It's not right. She's too fucking trusting.

He comes out of the shadows with a frown on his face and stops behind her chair, "Oy!"

The Shrimp stops writing and looks behind her, "Gajeel!"

Gajeel couldn't help but smile, she looked so lovely with the fancy outfit she had on. "So that's what you're wearing."

She looks down a little embarrassed, "Does it look strange?"

"Naw, it's not bad," Gajeel replies putting his hands in his pockets sort of wishing he had a better way of saying she looked beautiful. He grimaced, what has gotten in to him?

She smiled, "I'm really happy your alive Gajeel.." She meets his eyes, her sincerity evident in her eyes.

He smirks, "I can't be killed off that easily!"

She looked down, a smile, but a sad smile on her face. "You were fighting against a huge dragon all by yourself. Anyone would have died in a situation like that." She says it like it happened, which kind of bothered him. He didn't want to see her sad. And if caring about him made her sad, he didn't want her to care.

"Mind your own business!" he says looking away.

"Let me mind your business!" she says looking at him.

He closes his eyes, "That's what's annoying about you." He didn't deserve her caring about his sorry ass, especially after what he did to her. She deserved better.

He opened his eyes and was surprised. She was crying! Fuck, how did he make her cry, how does he stop her crying. He just wanted to wipe her tears away, but held his hands in his pocket, clinching them. She was crying but had a smile on her face; he didn't know what could have caused her to cry.

"Idiot! What are ya crying about?!"

She looked away and wiped her eyes. "I don't know, sorry."

He got really uncomfortable then. He didn't do emotional things; he just wanted her to stop crying. "D-Don't apologize."

She got up from her chair then and walked over to him. "Did you come to look for me?" she asks peering up at him with a smile on her face.

Fuck, she was a little nymph. She was a couple of inches away, peering up at him with her beautiful, trusting doe-like eyes. He was so tempted to just grab her and kiss her and make her his then and there.

He puts his hand behind his back scratching at anything, looking the other way to keep himself from doing something he might regret. There's no way in hell, a girl like her could ever love a guy like him. If he did something, it might scare her off. Although he hated to admit it, he enjoyed her presence. It soothed him.

In response to her question, "Naw, I was just going outside to get some fresh air and saw you sitting there while I was heading out."

He didn't miss the disappointed look that came across her face, followed by a frown. Dammit, that's not what he wanted to say. It sounded like he was an uncaring idiot.

"Well, I'll let you go on your way then," she says as she started to walk past him.

He didn't want her to leave his side. He grabbed her arm without realizing what he was doing. She turned her head looking at him surprised.

"I- I, um, I got the air I needed," he said.

He let her arm go. What the fuck was he doing. He should get away from her, let her go, not hold her there.

She smiled at him again with that beautiful smile of hers. They both started to hear waltzing music though the doors. They both stood there awkwardly. He wanted to ask her to dance, but he didn't fucking dance. He did one time for her a couple of months ago, but that was because her stupid dogs were arguing about who would get a chance to dance with her making her extremely uncomfortable. He didn't want to see her like that, so he danced with her to make those idiots shut up, which it did, which made him smirk on the inside.

As he stood there looking at her, she was looking at the door, listening. It looked like she was expecting something. She all of sudden turned and looked at him, "Dance with me!"

She starts blushing all of a sudden, "I mean, you don't have too, I mean, I know you don't.." She looks down fidgeting with her hands.

Before he knew what he was doing, he grabbed her in his arms and was dancing with her. She was shocked at first but then smiled looking up at him. He smiled back. What the fuck did this nymph do to him? He wasn't going to dance with her, but she was just so fucking adorable and beautiful, he just couldn't stop himself. They danced like that, until the music stopped. He still held her in his arms even after the music stopped, not wanting to let her go. Her small body fit his perfectly. His arms around her tiny waist, his mind started to wonder to uncharted territory.

"Um, Gajeel, the music stopped," she whispered as he continued to hold her, thinking of just taking her over his shoulder and bringing her to his bedroom.

Once he heard her voice, he snapped out of it then. He let go of her quickly, realizing that he needed to gain control of himself before he did something really in inappropriate.

"We should probably join everyone else," she says smiling at him. "Unless you want to stay out here to get more 'air'." She giggled a little, which had Gajeel confused. She had most adorable laugh ever. He wanted to hear it all the time. He didn't want to go back inside that room full of people. He just wanted to stay here, watching this little blue haired fairy in the moonlight.

They all of a sudden heard a stomach grumble. The shrimp blushed holding her stomach.

"I think someone needs some food to 'grow', gehehehe!" Gajeel smirked in response.

Shorty hit him in his chest. "You're making fun of me! You jerk!" she pouted.

He just laughed even harder at that and ruffled her hair, the feel of it tingling his senses. Her soft unmanageable hairs tangling his hand making him wish he could wake up to it every morning. She grabbed at his arm to pull his hand off her head, pouting but smiling at the same time. She started walking off towards the doors, "Stupid Gajeel" under her breath.

Gajeel followed still smirking. He loved teasing her, she was so easy to tease. He watched her back, not messing the sway of her hips or the way her little petite body curved at all the right places. He had a fucking dirty mind. He really should get his mind out of gutter. This sphinx was causing him to lose his composure.

He wondered as he walked in to the room though, could she ever like or even love a stupid ass like him? Maybe, he was never hopeful after everything that happened to him, but for once, after coming to Fairy Tail, he has become just that, hopeful.
