Dear Gajeel,
No. I shouldn't address it to you because you'll never read it. Small details… Oh well. I'm writing this to repent more than anything. Yes, I've sinned and yes, I wish for forgiveness. But I can't say that I regret a single thing I've done to you.
Out of everyone in my guild - not ours; not yours - you had to choose me and my team. You picked on the weakest looking ones. Cowardly much. And… And you made Jet and Droy watch as you did unspeakable things to me. I still remember the screams of mine and the yells of them. You laughed. Of everything you could've done, you laughed. My innocence was taken that day along with any shred of good I had left. But of course you didn't leave it at that. You crucified us to a tree, leaving your mark on my stomach. The shame I felt knowing I couldn't best you in a fight and they knew what it meant when they saw my shorts barely clinging to my waist.
And still, they forgave you. Even Jet and Droy. They forgave you after seeing that. Well, I haven't. And I swore that I'd kill you one day. You made it clear to everyone that I was still yours. Nobody else could touch me. They still accepted you as one of our own. I wondered what you'd done to Juvia. She came out worse for it, having overboard obsessions and not being able to speak normally. What torture had you subjected her to? You belittled me for my height and my weakness. I could do things on my own without you there to 'protect' me. I could've dealt with those freaks from Tenrou without your help.
That quiz show against Capricorn. He asked me who I liked. Truly loved. Do you know what my answer was? Death. I was in love with the idea of your death. And I got it. I tricked you into believing that I loved you. And you fell for it like the idiot you are. Like you were, I should say. I couldn't forgive you after all that you put me through. I'm glad to be free of your control. I hope the guild will never find your rotting corpse.
I hate you, Gajeel.
I really do.
Signed
Levy McGarden

Gomenasai for hurting GaLe like this. I just always wondered what would happen if the anime didn't put such a happy ending on them. If you rewatch the series and look at it from this perspective, you can really see that their relationship has a lot of the signs of an abusive relationship. But I still love them. They're so adorable (manga/anime wise).
On a side note, don't you think Levy could be the strongest Mage? I mean, she could literally write anything and it will come to life. She could write herself a thug to fight with her (like a celestial spirit) or conjure up literal death or defeat. She could one shot everyone. Why make her so weak, Hiro? ;-;
Have a nice day/night :D
