Chapter 1: A Little Fun
"Shut the hell up," Gajeel growled for the millionth time that night. Natsu's stupid grin was really pissing him off.
"Come on, Gajeel, aren't you having fun?" He asked, shattering a couple of eardrums in the process. He staggered a little- Natsu didn't quite know when to quit the drinks.
"Oi, Natsu," Lucy said exasperatedly. "You should really go home. I'll call a cab for you."
"Will you go home with me?" The ever-oblivious pinkette asked. Lucy's cheeks reddened as she sent him flying with a kick.
Gray let out a laugh, smirking at their antics. Juvia was drooling over him- no different than usual.
But Gajeel didn't understand what was so fun. It was all Erza's fault, anyways- the girl had just turned twenty one and was overly excited about going to a club for the first time- so naturally she had to drag everybody along. Personally, the music was too loud and bubbly for his taste. He much preferred his original rock songs to this pop trash.
And so, as it were, he had been sitting at the bar for over two hours, refusing to socialize. He paid no attention to any of the sultry women who had tried to seduce him, nor their sizable assets. One glare was all it took for them to back off.
He cracked open an eye in disgust as he heard the scrape of a chair as someone occupied the spot next to him. And then the other eye opened, as he displayed just the tiniest bit of interest.
The girl who had just taken a seat was very different than the ones from earlier. Small and petite, she definitely didn't go near the definition of sexy. To be perfectly honest, she was rather flat, but adorable. Her hair interested him. It was a bright cobalt blue; unlike any he'd ever seen.
He was generally accustomed to strange hair colors- heck, birthday girl herself donned a head of scarlet locks. And the ever-infuriating Natsu could blend right in with flamingos. But her hair color was soothing to the eyes- it matched her, somehow.
The final intriguing thing was that she wasn't looking at him. She wasn't looking at anybody but the bartender, but even then it was more so at the drink in his hands than at the person himself. She had a small, easy smile on her face. And her eyes were not exactly innocent, hiding something just a bit deeper. They were intelligent and large, and held an earnest kind of air.
He smirked. I've decided. She interests me. I'm going to take her home.
"You don't seem the type to be able to hold your liquor," he casually commented, setting his drink down and turning towards her.
Cocking her head, she smiled gently. "Oh, try me."
"What's your name?"
"Levy. Levy McGarden."
He grinned. He could have a little fun with this.
New story. The pairing is, if you couldn't tell, Gajeel x Levy. The chapters are gonna be pretty short- maybe some longer ones as the plot 's mostly just going to be dramatic and roundabout and cute. Review please!
