Hi guys! So this is my first time writing a story on fanfiction-this one is going to be about Levy McGarden and Gajeel Redfox, and how their story first started, so to all of you GaLe fans out there, I hope you like this! (There are probably going to be several chapters to this story, and this first chapter is Gajeel POV.)

There I stood, in front of the bluenette, I had just blocked the misfire of Laxus, and by the look on his face, he had meant for it to happen this way. Jet and Droy both stared at me, a mixture of different emotions in their eyes. I could tell that they didn't know whether or not to trust me yet, and that was understandable, considering the fact that I did put them in the hospital a couple months back. As for the bluenette, I could tell by the look in her eyes that she was shocked, and wasn't expecting me to block the hit. Laxus on the other hand, stared at me, with a cold look in his eyes, almost as if he actually wanted to hurt the fragile girl behind me. "So I see you're the big hotshot everyone's been talking about lately," said Laxus. "Leave him alone Laxus!" the bluenette yelled as she stepped in front of me, soon afterwards being joined by Jet and Droy.

"What did he ever do to you?" shrieked Levy.

"Why, he did destroy my future guild," exclaimed Laxus, and evil smirk spreading across his face.

"Well, we rebuilt it, and now everything's back to normal, so why don't you just leave us all alone? Master Makarov will never let you take over Fairy Tail!"

I stood there, dumbfounded by how she actually had the courage to talk to Laxus that way, even though she knew that with one blow from him, it could land her in the hospital for several weeks. What surprised me even more was the fact that she was actually standing up for me, even after the horrible things I did to her and her accomplices. It was then, that I decided I had to step up and do something, instead of just sitting there looking like a total idiot. I did after all, have to live up to my name. I put my hand on the bluenette's shoulder and said, "It's alright, I can handle this asshole myself, take those idiots and just go home." She gave me a look that said she wasn't going anywhere, so I looked at Droy, and he said, "Levy, it's probably a good idea if we go," as he went and picked her up.

"Let me go Droy!" she said as she struggled trying to get free.

"Guess that's what you get for being a stubborn shrimp," I muttered as Droy, Jet, and the bluenette made their way towards the guild hall.

"So, I guess this means I get to see how much of a pussy you really are," I yelled at Laxus while sprinting towards him with my Iron Fist.

"With a single strike, I can take you down, I mean, after all, you are iron!" he yelled as he started laughing in a sick and twisted manner.

" You're on! Wing slash of the iron dragon!"

And sure enough, with a single blow he did knock me out. When I awoke, I was in the guild infirmarary, the bluenette resting her head on the bed next to me.

"You know, she's been here all day, she blames herself for this," said the familiar voice of Jet.

"Huh?"

"Levy-she's been here all day, worried sick about you."

"Oh?" I felt a slight blush coming on looking down at her, she looked so peaceful, and kinda cu-

"Wait! What the hell am I thinking? I did after all make the worst first impression, and-" I though to myself before Levy cut me off.

"Oh Gajeel, I didn't know you were awake! I'm so sorry you got hurt!" she said, turning bright red as she started eying my arm, which I now realize had a large burn mark on it.

"It's fine shrimp, I'll heal," I said through gritted teeth, just know acknowledging the pain that was coursing through my arms.

She must've seen right through me, for she suddenly developed a worried expression, as she said, "You're in pain, here let me help," as she produced a ointment from her bag.

"This should do the trick," she said as she cautiously applied it to my arm.

I tried not to wince in pain, for she already looked like she was worried enough about me, and there was no need to worry her any more.

"You sure are troublesome, you know?" she said to me, a small smile spreading across her face.

"I guess," I said chuckling to myself.

I glanced up at her, and noticed that she looked like she was deep in thought staring right at me, however, once she noticed that I was watching her, she turned a deep shade of red, and in turn, I started blushing as well.

"Dammit! What the hell is this that I'm feeling right now?" I thought to myself as I tried to pry my gaze from hers.

As if on impulse, I leaned toward her, my heart pounding. Seconds later, our lips met, and I felt as if the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders.

Well, I hope you guys liked it, and I should have more posted soon! Sorry if it was kinda bad! Hopefully the next chapters will get better!
