"You might wanna pull that new spell of yours if you wanna have a chance Shorty," Gajeel says with a smirk before he shoots iron poles at Levy's feet, they had been training for over an hour now and he could see that it was starting to take its toll on her. He had to admit she was holding her own but she had asked for this, practically begged with him to spar with her so she could try out something new with her solid script. Of course, he accepted, he never could have said no to her, but he wasn't going to let her know that when he pretended so begrudgingly let her join him.
Levy pants heavily, exhausted from dodging Gajeel's poles every five seconds. She didn't expect him to go easy on her, honestly, she'd be offended if he did but she definitely didn't expect to be going for this long without a break.
"Well maybe if you slowed down!" Levy yelled as she dodged another pole that went straight for her head.
"No one's gonna stop for you to cast a spell, Shrimp," Gajeel says with a laugh though he slowed down on his attacks so she could gather herself.
"Fine then. SOLID SCRIPT- WOODEN CLONE " Levy yells as dozens of her clones appear around Gajeel, circling him quickly.
"What the fuck?" Gajeel mumbles as he looks around, unable to tell which was which. They all looked like her, all smell like her.
"Aww, what's the matter Gajeel," Levy taunts as she walks in between the clones to stand behind Gajeel.
"SOLID SCRIPT- HOLE" Levy yell as a large hole appears beneath Gajeel, causing him to fall deep into the ground.
"Goddamnit shrimp get me out of here!" Gajeel yells annoyed as he stares up at Levy.
Levy smirks down at him, thinking Virgo would be proud of her decent digging work before she falters, falling to her knees with a gasp.
"Oi! Lev, what the hell?.." Gajeel says nervously as he stares up at her with concern from his place in the ground.
"The clones are draining too much of my magic..." Levy gasps as she holds her chest, her face becoming pale.
Magic had limits, and once you dried up those magical canisters in you it quickly began to pull on your life force to keep a spell going.
Gajeel quickly shot metal poles out of his feet to shoot up out of the hole. "What the hell do I do then?!" Gajeel says as he kneels down by Levy alarmed by how quickly the color was draining out of her usually blushing face.
"Take..them..out," she mumbles as she begins to gasp for air.
Gajeel quickly stands up as he begins to shoot poles from every which way destroying the clones as quickly as she had made them appear. As soon as he took out the last one he runs over to Levy's side.
"Shrimp...Levy..come on Levy," Gajeel begs quietly as he shakes her back and forth gently.
Levy groans quietly in his arms as she cracks her eyes open to look into his.
"Jesus Christ Levy.." Gajeel mumbles before holding her close to his chest. "Never do that fucking spell ever again!" He says angrily as he squeezes her softly.
Levy smiles softly as the color slowly comes back to her face. "I'm fine, Gajeel. I promise," Levy says as she tries to stand up slowly, only to fall back down to her knees.
"Oi! take it easy shrimp," Gajeel says as he picks her up princess style and holds her close, trying not to blush as she pushes her face into his neck.
"Where are we going?" Levy asks quietly.
"To my house, I can't go into fairy hills and I'm sure you don't wanna get swarmed at the guild so that's the best option," he says as he makes his way out of the training grounds.
"But...I...what if Lily...you shouldn't.."Levy says as she slowly begins to fall asleep.
"Mhhm?" He looks down after he had cleared the woods before a smirk spread across his face. She had knocked out hard, even beginning snore slightly as she burrowed into him, a small smile gracing her lips.
