Hey guys! I've thought up with this story during school and I couldn't resist, but begin starting! For the past week, I've waited patiently for some ideas to flow through my mind during my free time in school or while I'm doing class work, PE, whatever. Anyway, I've got quite a few now and I'm sooooo excited!
This is a GaLu fanfiction which excites me even more! This story was also inspired by GaLu high school fanfictions I've read, which were awesome and not sad (luckily). Anyway, I hope you enjoy! cx
By Your Side
Lucy looks out of the car window to only have her eyes blinded by the sun after just staring at her lap the whole ride. I hope the same thing can happen to my life... she thought, after what happened to my mother, I've been continuing her duty. All I see is darkness around me, but hopefully I will be blinded by light, happiness if I keep my chin held high and keep moving forward.
"Lucy-san are you all right?" Lucy's driver asks the stunning blonde in concern.
She looks at her driver at the rear view mirror who was staring back at her when he hit the break at a red light. She smiles warmly at him, "I'm fine, please, no need to worry." He replies with a nod before continuing to drive.
Lucy looks back at the window, watching cars pass by until a school came to view. Her smile widens at the sight, it hasn't changed one bit ever since she left after her freshman year to be home schooled for her second year. Fairy Tail High. Her smile vanishes after a flash of her past appeared in her mind when she was nine years old...
LUCY'S POV
"Please don't hurt me! I will hurt you if you do!..." I yell desperately as I took a step back, only to be trapped in the corner with three boys cornering me. I look down after realizing something, "But I can't do it... I'm strong... but I can't..." I clench my fists until my knuckles are white.
"Hahaha! What do you mean? Come on, hit me!" a boy that was a foot taller taunts me, opening his arms wide open with a smirk.
"B-But-" I stuttered.
"But what? 'Cause you're weak? You're a little girl who can't do anything!" another boy teased, crossing his arms.
"I think that's enough, let's just beat her up! She has so much money, I bet she can bandage herself with it!" the third one said as he took a step forward.
"Oi! What the hell are ya doin'?!" a boy yelled from behind them. My eyes widen and look at the space between two of the bullies. There stood a boy with blazing red eyes, black hair, piercings on his ears, band-aids on his face, looking about my age.
The bullies look behind them at the half foot shorter boy and laugh, "We're teaching this girl a lesson! Problem?" the first one asked.
"Why are you doing that?" the boy growled with clenched fists and a glare plastered on his face towards them.
"It's because she's always showing off her money! Getting dropped off at school by a fancy driver, bringing fancy foods, always acting like a princess! Her posture is always perfect! She always acts like a perfect little 'princess'!" he smirks.
"It's not her fault that she's so damn rich." the red-eyed boy said with crossed arms. My eyes widen. "Do you think she asked to be born rich? Do you think she can help acting like a 'princess'? She has rich parents and fancy crap, she can't help it. Just leave her alone, she doesn't deserve any of this!" he growls harshly at his last sentence. My eyes begin to water at his words... He understands.
The three burst out laughing at his speech. "Come on boys," the first one commands, "let's beat this one up before going for the girl." They all run towards the boy who easily dodged their kicks and punches.
He's so brave... I-I need to be brave! Just like him! But... I can't move, it's like I froze in place, just watching him dodge... Until...
Whack!
The black-haired boy was kicked into the wall. I snapped back to reality and ran in tremendous speed towards the boys, before sliding onto the ground with my foot aiming for their ankles which nailed one of them, causing them all to topple over. I look at the red-eyed boy and help him up. I smile brightly at him when he looks at me wide-eyed, "Let's beat them up!" I give him a thumbs up, "Remember, never give up." I give him a nod before turning to take on two of the bullies.
I get in a defense stance with a serious look which caused them to snicker when they stood up. They both try to kick and punch me, but I dodge with ease using back flips and cartwheels. Soon enough, I jumped up high to kick one in the face to knock them out.
The other boy looked at me with shock and fear burning in his eyes. I shot him another glare before he ran away out of fear. I sigh in relief before remembering the boy that saved me. I look behind me to see that the boy had beaten him and the bully ran off. The boy looked so bruised, I gasp and run over to him. "Are you okay?!"
"I'm fine, it's bearable." he looks away with a blush when I get close to his face when I examine his face.
"Sit down, I-I'll fix up your wounds." I command him with a nervous and worried voice.
"How? You don't have a first-aid kit." he crosses his arms, sitting down on the ground anyway.
"Well... I-I..." I glance behind me to see the bully I knocked out before had ran away. I look back at the boy who was raising an eyebrow. "You see, I can use magic." I smile gently.
He bursts out laughing, "Yeah right!"
I pout, "I can prove it!"
"Then show me!" he open out his arms with a smirk, showing his wounds on his arms. "Heal me!"
I nod and kneel beside him. I concentrate my magic in my hands and my hands eventually glow a bright yellow and hover them over his arms. His eyes nearly pop out of his skull when he feels his arm not hurting anymore. "W-What the hell?!"
"I don't fib about these kinds of things." I do the rest of his body, including his face and he sighs in relief at the touch when I cup his cheeks. "Please keep this a secret... I'm the only one in the world who can use magic... Mama had it, but passed it down to me since it's a tradition."
He looks at me with awe, his eyes telling me to continue. "I'm not a witch, nor an evil spell maker person. I'm a wizard, years and years ago there were tons! Eventually they died out, as time passed, they keep their magic a secret since people started not believing it. They didn't want people to fear them. I'll tell you all about wizards later though. Mama eventually became the only one left and she passed it down to me, she uses Celestial Spirit magic. It's when you use keys to summon spirits, they represent the constellations." I point up at the sky, "Constellations are stars gathered up to represent things like the Zodiac. I only have three keys which were Mama's. They're all the Zodiac, Cancer, Aquarius, and Capricorn. Capricorn taught me how to fight!" I grin, "I'll talk more about this kind of magic later on when I talk about wizards." I look at him with a soft smile, "Mama is a hero. She helps people in need when the police aren't their to help. She beats up the bad guys, calls the police after tying them up, and wait there with a mask with the victim so her cover isn't blown then leave when the police arrives and glance at her."
"Is your mom a good fighter?" the boy asks with a curious look.
"Yep! She's amazing! She teaches me her special moves and some spells to help people. She says when she dies or gets weak, I'll have to take her place." I smile sadly. "By the way, I'm Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia. Thanks for saving me before... I wasn't sure if I should have used my moves on them or not... I've never fought someone seriously before..." I frown at the previous events. "I got really brave watching you and needed to fight along side of you. Capricorn always told me to never stand and do nothing and never give up."
"To be honest I was surprised seeing you jump in!" he crosses his arms and pouts, trying his hardest to look angry, but fails miserably, "I could've taken them down all by myself!"
I giggle at him, "What's your name?"
"Gajeel. Gajeel Redfox." he replies with a blank expression now.
"Gajeel-kun... Your words made me so happy before. All I ever get from trying to make friends is either be bullied or ignored... You really understand me. I'm really happy." My eyes began to water again and I wipe them away, "Can you keep all of this magic stuff a secret? You're the only person I've told about this. I really... want to be friends with you." I look away with a blush on my face out of embarrassment.
He smirks, "Gihi! Of course I'll keep your promise, we can be best friends!"
I smile brightly and hug Gajeel suddenly, causing him to flinch and tense up before relaxing and wrapping his arms around me. "Finally... a friend." I say with a scratchy voice.
"You're my first friend too. I'll be here when ever you need me." He says and I look up at him with wide eyes when I see his grin, "I'll always protect you and be there for you, Lucy! Even if we get seperated, we'll always meet again!"
"Me too!" I smile brightly and let go of him before putting up my pinky, "Pink promise that you'll keep the magic a secret and that we'll be friends forever?"
He smiles slightly and locks pinkies with mine, "I promise."
After that day, we spent every day together. He met Mama and Papa who accepted him and about him knowing her secret. I explained about wizards, guilds, types of magic, evil, everything. He enjoyed learning about Dragon Slayer magic and learning the constellations and Celestial Spirit magic. We understood each other, our problems, we new each other's secrets, everything about each other. We eventually found out we really loved music and we always played the piano together and sing songs! We comforted each other when we were sad about something, especially when my mother died. He stayed with me for three days straight. I stayed with him three days when his father suddenly disappeared also. When it was freshman year, I was forced to move schools. Into Fairy Tail High. I got bullied, rumors spread all over school. The boy that was afraid of me for some odd reason was actually a spirit, Leo the Lion who I normally called Loke. He's one of my most trustful companions when it comes to fighting. As an excuse for his friends, he said that he's moving to a different country. When I was alone there, Gajeel wasn't there to protect me and stay with me when I was sad since I had to move homes also. Second year of high school I got home schooled mostly because of that.
NO ONE'S POV
She had no idea that Gajeel moved to the same school for the second year of high school due to his old school being way too strict and always making him cause trouble. In second year, he was popular in high school along with his friends. He couldn't get Lucy out of his mind though, they haven't even seen each other during summer break either. That school was Fairy Tail High.
Lucy sighs. Ever since her mother died, she's been taking her place, keeping girls from being raped, keeping gangs from causing trouble to citizens, helping children who are being bullied. She enjoyed helping people, she was a bright person, but she can't help, but be shy towards people. After a normal conversation though, she always be's herself.
The black, expensive car stopped. "Lucy-san, we're here." the driver says and he steps out of the car. They were in the parking lot of the school. The driver opens Lucy's door before she steps out as she grabs her book bag along with her.
The blonde smiles gently at him, "Go home safely, I'll see you later!" She waves as he goes back into the car and smile back at her, nodding in reply before driving off.
The wizard sighs and turns to see students at the parking lot whispering at each other while looking at her with disgusted looks. This will be the best year ever... she thought sarcastically. She sighs and walk past them towards the school's entrance, hearing their whispers.
"Isn't that girl from first year? I heard that she was a prostitute and that's how she got rich!"
"That blonde is the one who seduced a nerd to get money!"
"Why does she act all high and mighty?"
She frowns at their whispers and hurriedly walk inside the school.
LUCY'S POV
I meet with Principle Makarov to talk to him and get my schedule. He really liked me, which made me relieved since we haven't met for a long time. I got my schedule and went to my first class which was a free period and was home room. I smile to myself, looking away from boys that were oggling my cleavage shyly out of embarrasment.
When I got to the door of the class room, I took a deep breath. You can do this Lucy. I pepped myself up a bit in my mind before smiling and opening the door. I scan the room around me until my eyes lie on a certain red-eyed teenager. My jaw drops and my eyes widen. Tears began watering after unconciously dropping my bag, "G-Gajeel?..."
Upon hearing his name he turns away from his friends to look at me, his eyes widen in shock, "Bunny?..."
"Gajeel!" I run to him, not caring about my bag and hug him once I reached him, not caring about a few people staring at me. He immedately hugs me back.
"Missed me?" he asks as I tighten my hug a bit around him. I nod vigoursly. "I told you when we seperate one day we'll always some how be together again. Gihi!" he grins, patting my head.
"Gajeel, who's that?" a voice asked besides us and I turn my head from Gajeel's chest to look at a raven-haired guy with a shocked look on his face, including a few others, two who were girls with red and blue hair and another boy who had pink hair.
"I-I'm Lucy..." I reply, looking away from him shyly, burrying my face back into Gajeel's chest. The black-haired male chuckles at my shyness.
"You really need to stop being shy Bunny-girl." he strokes my hair unconciously which causes me to blush a rosy red.
"Well, I can't help it! Baka Gajeel!" I yell at him which is muffled by his clothes. He smirks and lets out his signature laugh. I soon let go of him and bravely look up at the raven-haired teen who had his hand held out.
"I'm Gray. Nice to meet you." He smiles ever so slightly and I smile back, shaking his hand. When we let go of our hands, he points at the pink-haired teen, "That's Natsu." he waved with a goofy grin before moving on to the next two people. "The girl with the red hair is Erza and the girl with the blue hair is Levy."
"It's nice to meet you Lu-chan!" Levy says with a bright smile.
"Nice to meet you, Lucy." Erza says with a blank expression on her face.
"Nice to meet you too!" I replied.
"Now that we've introduced ourselves," Gray smirks that had a spec of evil in it, "why do you know Gajeel so well? We've never seen him smile like that before. Are you his girlfriend?"
"Eh?!" I blush beat red and shake my head, "No way! We're just childhood friends!" I deny quickly and calm down a bit, "We've been friends ever since we were nine. We got seperated for two years when I was forced to move away." I frown at the thought and with out noticing I look down, shaking unvoluntarily.
Then I feel a familiar strong hand being placed on my shoulder, a deep voice coming from behind me after, "It got tough with out me, huh? You were still brave though, weren't you?" My eyes widen and I look up and behind me at my best friend who was looking at me with no trace of emotion. I nod and smile.
"Wow, you two really are close friends!" Levy says suddenly, snapping my attention to her, "How long have you been friends for?"
"Almost eight years." we say in unison.
Gray's eyes widen in surprise, "Wow, ne Lucy, can you tell me a few of his secrets?" he smirks evily, leaning in towards me to hear me over the talking amongst other students. I reply with a flick to his forehead, a tick mark on my forehead.
"Like I would tell my best friend's secrets to a stripper like you, I rather die than tell his precious secrets." I cross my arms as I watch him rub his forehead then eyes widen in shock when he realized the top of his uniform came off.
Natsu bursts out laughing, "She called you a stripper, Ice Princess! That's hilarious!"
"Says the guy who eats nothin', but freakin' hot sauce, squinty eyes!" After putting his uniform back on, Gray smashes his forehead onto Natsu's.
"Ya wanna fight, droopy eyes?!" he replies angrily, not noticing the dark aura coming from the red head.
"Boys! What did I say about fighting?" she burns a glare towards them, which some how affected me also. The two frenemies pull back, saluting to Erza.
"A-Aye!" they say with panic and fear mixed in their voices. I watch the scene before me, two frightened, pale teenagers being glared at by a scary red head while a girl with blue hair giggles as they watch her three friends.
I giggle, "You have interesting friends Gajeel, I'm glad you made some." I smile brightly up at him when I glance at him who smiles back, not noticing a group of girls glaring daggers at my back.
The doors of the classroom soon slam open to reveal our homeroom teacher, Mr. Guildarts. "Take your seats!" he yells and everyone scrambles to their desks. I quickly grab my bag I dropped and take a seat at the corner of the room by the window. I notice a certain red-eyed boy sit in the desk next to me, Natsu sat in front of me, Erza next to Natsu, Gray behind me, and Levy next to Gray. "As you all know first period is home room and a free period." the teacher starts off, "This year we have a new student, Lucy Heartfilia. Please, introduce yourself, any hobbies?"
I stand up from my seat and look at the class with a shy look, "H-Hello, I'm Lucy Heartfilia-"
"Yeah, Teach already said that!" A male student interrupts me, causing the students to mumble to each other while giggling. Once the teacher scolded the student and calming the students, he nods towards me to continue.
"Um... I was hear in the first year of this school also. Erm... I love to read and write, I love music, and I got my black belt for kung fu when I was ten, so I also enjoy training and getting stronger." Immediately, I hear whispers like 'She's so lying.' and 'I bet she just bought it.'
Gajeel hearing the mumbles, sighs in annoyance before speaking up as I frowned. "It's true." all eyes were on him now. "I saw it right before my eyes when she got that belt from her sensei. When she got bullied when she was nine and I came to save her before she got hit. When I got kicked into a wall, she saved me from getting my ribs broken from another kick by knocking them down like dominos. I took out one guy and she took out two who were a about a foot taller than her. Hell, she even beat the crap outta me within ten seconds when we were fourteen. Bunny trains every day, when ever she can. All she can think about is getting stronger, getting her defense up, helping others, and to keep the promise we made when we met."
My eyes widen hearing all of this. He really does know what to say, since he got half of the class to look down at their desks in shame. I smile at him and sat down, still hearing some saying that Gajeel is just being tricked by me, but I simply ignore them. I whisper to him, "Thanks."
"No problem, Bunny." he reaches over to ruffle my blonde hair with a wide grin. "Always here for you."
I slapped his hand away while pouting, "When are you gonna stop calling me that? Metal Head..." I grumpily said with arms crossed.
"Don't start with that nick name again." he grumbles as he rests his cheek on his hand while his elbow is supporting it up on the desk. "Why do you even call me that any way?"
I smirk slightly and say in a sing song voice, "'Cause you're hard headed~"
"Your jokes are horrible." he shakes his head while letting a little smile to slip.
"You use to always laugh at my jokes... Tch, you finally reached puberty and got mature now huh?" my smirk widens.
"Hey!-" he glares at me, but was interrupted by a clearing of the throat and look up to see the whole class staring at us, a group of girls glaring, the teacher sweat-dropping, and my new friends snickering at our little exchange. "Sorry..." I say, looking down with bright red cheeks.
Gajeel does his signature laugh seeing my red face from the corner of his eyes.
"Anyway," Mr. Guildarts begins, "again, this period is a free period. Listen to the annoucnements, then talk, study, homework, whatever. I don't care." the bell rings through out the class and everyone began to stand up. "You're all dismissed!"
It's lunch time now and I've been liking and not liking my day... The rumors are still lingering through out the school, but I made more friends on the first day! I can't wait to talk to Loke about this, I'm so happy!
I enter the cafeteria, seeing everyone chatting and laughing. I look around until I see the familiar night black hair that I've always loved. I smile and walk towards the table where it was half filled with my new friends and others that look like Gajeel's other friends. I didn't even take two steps before Gajeel's 'fan girls' take the empty spots on the table. The one that looks like the head of the group glares at me and I frown, looking down at my packed lunch.
I sigh before going to an abandoned table by the window that gives a good view of a cherry blossom tree outside. I take out my phone and ear buds and put them in before playing music. All I brought for lunch was a fruit salad that I made since I was in a rush. It has strawberries, watermelon, kiwi, grapes, and star fruit which is my favorite. Star fruit always reminded me of the constellations and Mama, it's sweet and slightly tangy if they're just right. I begin eating as I listened to some heavy metal music and thought about what happened a few minutes ago.
I always knew Gajeel would get popular in high school, he's handsome and looks as tough as a boulder. I'm the only one who is allowed to see his some what cheerful side of him. Those fan girls are really protective about him, I wonder what they think of me? Probably just some rich wanna be like the other people. Who cares, everyone thinks of me like that.
I nod my head to the music slightly, humming softly along to it until one of my ear buds are taken away, I quickly turn my head towards the culprit, "Hey!-" My eyes then meet blood red ones. Gajeel smirks and puts the ear bud into his ear so we're both able to listen to it. My eyes widen seeing him suddenly sitting next to me, "Gajeel..."
"The girls kept annoying me and you were sitting alone..." he takes a kiwi from my fruit salad and pops it into his mouth.
Not caring about him taking my food I reply, "I'm use to sitting alone. I don't mind." the corner of my lips pull up into a small smile.
"But you're not use to not sitting together with me." he smirks when I flinch at that statement and look down, knowing that he hit the head of the nail. "Same goes with me, I always saved a seat next me... I guess it's a force of habit."
I look back up to him to see him looking away, attempting to hide his blush, but failing. I giggle and poke his cheek, "You're blushing." I teased with a smile.
"S-Shut up!" he crosses his arms, turning his back away from me. I chuckle at him and continue to eat my lunch. When his pink cheeks got back to it's normal color he turns back around to me. "So what happened when we were seperated?" he looks at me with an emotionless expression.
"Well... in freshman year so many rumors started spreading about me. Like that I'm a slut, I got rich because I'm a prostitute, I seduced a nerd to get money, so many things... it hurt." I look down, trembling. A muscular arm wrap around my shoulders for reassurance, letting me know that he's right there. I continue, "But I made a friend named Loke. And apparently..." I look around me to see if anyone's whispering and whisper it into his ear, "He's a spirit." causing him to widen his eyes.
"Which one?" he asks, whispering back. I can see the excitement in his eyes, it's so cute!
"Leo the Lion. Never knew he would be a play boy though... I opened up all of the gates to save him and met the King of the Celestial World. I nearly killed myself, but I saved him." I sigh, "While we got seperated I got most of the Zodiac, I have ten now!" I whisper excitedly.
He grins and ruffles my hair, "Nice, I've gotta meet 'em then. Gihi!"
"Oh, what are you guys talking about?" a certain pink-haired friend sat down across from them including many others like my new friends and his others.
"Nothing, whaddya want?" Gajeel asks, unwrapping his arm from around my shoulder when he notices a girl with white hair squealing seeing it.
"We saw you two alone and we wanted to join, we're friends after all! Right Lu-chan?" Levy asks. I nod in reply with a smile and she began to introduce everyone else, "She's Mirajane and her siblings, Elfman and Lisanna." she points at the three white-haired siblings. Levy then points at a muscular blonde, "That's Laxus." then she introduce others named Jellal, a girl named Juvia who was clinging to Gray, and Lyon who was glaring at Gray. I introduce myself after Levy has finished.
"Now to questions," Mirajane suddenly says with a serious glint in her eyes, "how are you able to make Gajeel smile like that?"
I blink at her sudden question and just shrug, "I don't know, he always smile, doesn't he?" I tilt my head to the side.
She gasps and clasps her hands together with hearts in her eye, "Love!" she said dreamily as I just looked at her with confusion. "How are you two such good friends?" she asks.
"We've been friends ever since we were little. Almost eight years." I stated.
"Eight years?!" they all gasp in surprise besides the ones she met in class and Laxus. "So you two were nine?" Jellal asks. I nod with a smile and replied, "He saved me when I was getting bullied. When he was getting beat up I stepped in and helped him."
"Wow..."
"Hey, aren't you Lucy Heartfilia? The prostitute?" Laxus suddenly asks, causing my eyes to widen. He's one of them... I look down, holding back my tears. "You are aren't you? How the hell did you get that much money just from doing that?" That's it...
I abrupty stand up, my bangs shading my eyes and pack my lunch back quickly before running out of the cafeteria along with my phone and ear buds, ignoring Gajeel calling my name.
GAJEEL'S POV
"What the hell?!" I slam my fist onto the table and stand up, grabbing everyone's attention. "You know too well that they're just rumors, do you really believe in shit like that?!" I glared down at him, even causing Erza to flinch at my dark aura seeping from me.
"I-"
"You what? Didn't know?! Why would a shy girl like her do something that stupid?!" I'm beyond pissed. I never knew a friend like him would think of someone like that. I ran off to chase after Lucy, leaving shocked faces on the people who she just met. As I ran to find her through the hallways I hear the scrambling of feet behind me, figuring the people were her friends that she just met in first period.
LUCY'S POV
Before I knew it, I was in the music room I always went inside of when I was depressed, mad, or just completely broken. I can't believe one of Gajeel's friends would think something like that. The words keep echoing through my head...
I sat under the piano and pull my knees up to my chest as I sobbed, letting every drop out, "Why does this happen to me?... I just want to be a normal girl." I spoke to myself as I hiccuped from sobbing.
"You are a normal girl, Bunny..." I hear a gruff voice and I whip my head around to see legs making it's way towards the piano. He sits down at the seat of the piano. I also notice some whispers behind the door, but pay no mind to it. "You just have a hard time seeing it..."
I sniffle and look down at the ground, "How do you always know what to say when I'm like this?" I frown at the carpeted floor.
"It's because I know you too well, Bunny-girl. When ever I see you sad I know what to do to make you have that smile on your face again." he replies.
"But I just don't understand why you keep helping and protecting me... I mean, don't you ever get tired of it?"
"I'll never get tired of it!" he suddenly shouts harshly, causing me to jump a bit, "I'll never get tired of it because I care too much about you, I hate seeing you sad and broken. Besides, didn't we promise each other that we'll stay by each other and protect each other?"
His voice. The way he talks to me. The way he makes me realize things. It makes me cry a river. "I'm sorry, Gajeel... C-Can you play a song?" I get a grunt in reply and soon hear a familiar song being played on the piano. Mama's lullaby.
He knows me too well... We both know each other too well. I crawl out from underneath the piano to sit between his legs, where I feel most safe at. I lean against him as I watched his fingers dance along the keys. This is the first song I taught him and he still remembers it.
Halfway through the song, someone enters the room quietly, causing Gajeel to stop and turn his head. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but the bell will ring in two minutes..." Levy's voice says quietly.
"We'll come out in a sec. Thanks." Gajeel replies, wrapping his arms around me protectively, causing me to blush a cherry red. Then I heard the door close again. "Feeling better?" Gajeel asks.
"Yeah, a little. I wish we can stay like this forever..." I whisper softly, tracing my finger up his arm, stopping at each piercing. His arms around me tighten slightly.
"We can if you want..." he whispers back, burrying his face into the crook of my neck.
My face becomes a fiery red as my heart skips a beat at his statement. My heart is beating so fast at the feeling of his breathing on my neck. "But we need to get ready for class..."
He lets out a sigh, "You're right, we don't want to be late on our first day." He unwraps his arms from around me and I stand up before he does. I watch him make his way to the door before I spoke.
"H-Hey, Gajeel?"
"Hm?" he stops in his tracks to turn around and look at me.
"Thank you for always being with me." I look away to hide the blush tinted onto my cheeks.
He grins, "No problem, just doing my job as your best friend. Gihi."
I smile at him and walk over to his side, looking up at him with no trace of sadness in my chocolate orbs, "Let's go!"
To be honest, my eyes kind of watered when Lucy and Gajeel were talking in the music room aggghh the feelz! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! I know that it was kind of long, but I couldn't hold back xD Hope you enjoyed, make sure to review what you thought about it so far!
~Sugoi! Sugoi! (~•3•)~
