A/N: Hey guys, look it's a new story! *dodges objects being thrown* Yes, I know, I'm in the middle of my other story at a freakin' CLIFFHANGER for kami's sake, why now?! Well, first of all, school has prevented me from writing another chapter of 'Sit' (please read, I NEED feedback), and second, I was up in the middle of the night with a plot bunny yesterday and couldn't sleep until I wrote it down. So there. If you didn't read the whole summary, this is an AU. And I never did this in my other fic, but as much as it pains me, Fairy Tail and the beautiful characters Hiro Mashima creates do not belong to me.

"Kakusu, I'm back with dinner!"

Levy Mcgarden's exclamation rang through the small apartment, but received no reply. Huh, that's strange. Admittedly, she was home a bit earlier than usual, but her boss had decided that for their hard work in the last quarter they could leave halfway through their normal shift. Ah, it's good to be home! Since she had moved in with her boyfriend almost a month before, Levy had always looked forward to coming back to the man she loved. They had met about a year ago in her favorite bookstore, and she couldn't help but feel that her romance was something out of a fairytale. He was absolutely perfect for her in every way, with short dark blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and almost as much of a passion for books as she had. He was, although she was very embarrassed to admit it, her first boyfriend, which had gotten much teasing from her friends over the years. But now she had him, and Levy was convinced that Kakusu Jāku would be the man she married and had children with. They had never gotten that serious, although he had asked a few times, but she always politely refused, not ready for something that involved yet. For now she was content with holding hands and sleeping in the same in the same bed, though he had seemed a bit farther away recently…

Putting her worries aside, she set the food on the kitchen counter and headed down the short hallway to their bedroom. As she neared the door however, she heard what seemed like voices coming from behind it. Voices. As in plural. Pushing down her growing dread, Levy slowly cracked open the door.

The sight that met her eyes made her want to scream, to cry, to do anything to wake up from what seemed to be out of her wildest nightmares. There lay Kakusu, her only one, her soul mate, the man she would spend the rest of her life with, next to a woman she didn't even recognize. It didn't take much looking to see that neither were wearing clothes, or that he seemed to be murmuring softly into the unknown person's ear. It was undeniably the individual she had fallen in love with, with another person, but she had to confirm it out loud in the hopes that somehow, somehow, she had not been betrayed.

"Kakusu?"

At her words the pair froze, looking towards her form silhouetted against the bright rectangle of light from the partially open door. The woman simply sank back into the bed, as if used to such confrontations, while her lover looked extremely panicked, but remained silent. She knew, now, absolutely, that this was exactly what Levy thought it was, and the only clear thought in her mind was a question, which she soon voiced.

"Why?"

At her inquiry Kakusu's panic melted into an expression that looked almost like pity.

"I asked you Lev, so many times, but you always refused me. I wanted you, so much, but you always stayed so pure."

He put on a loose robe and started slowly walking across the room towards the frozen figure in the doorway. Coming within half a foot of her, he reached up a hand to slowly graze her jaw.

"I think, at this point, we can both agree that in the end this was your fault, Levinia."

Hearing this she suddenly jerked away from his hand and anger ignited her words.

"DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH ME! And don't you dare…" she intoned softly, almost spitting out the words, "…call me Levinia."

Without giving him a chance to respond, she bolted out of the room, down the hall, and only stopped to grab her purse before exiting the apartment and slamming the door.

The tears only fell after Levy stood on the side of the darkened street, stars shining coldly above.

A/N: Once again, I am SO sorry for not updating my other story yet, but plot bunnies cannot be kept waiting! Please R&R, and I'll see you next time!
