Chapter 1

Gajeel could still recall the day that he had attacked his Shrimp, and every time he was swamped with both guilt, and pride. Guilt with the fact that he had been stupid enough to attack someone he knew that would later be everything to him, and pride for how he recalled her fighting spirit. Even though she had taken a beating from him, she had done everything she could to protect Jet and Droy, even though they should have been protecting her in his opinion.

Still, he could still see her kneeling over them, facing him with a glare that should have melted right through steel, but had merely caused him to laugh at the time. He had continued attacking, even though he had already won, and had moved closer to hover over her still kneeling body.

"You faeries are so weak. Look at you, trembling and still trying to protect those two unconscious losers behind you. You should have ran away when you had the chance." He growled, ending in his usual laugh.

"Solid script magic. Fire." She had suddenly screamed, and he had to admit, he had been surprised at the time. Although, by that point her power was diminished enough that the flames hardly bothered him. He was mostly surprised that she continued to fight, regardless of the fact that he knew she had some broken bones, and a possible concussion, but the fire in her eyes was still ablaze. He knew that had been what had originally drawn him to her, and knew that he hadn't wanted to continue on with the plan of hurting them, her, any further. So, he had attacked their pride instead, along with their guilds. So, as an attempt to see how strong she was, he had shackled them to the tree in the park, and drew the Phantom Lord symbol on her stomach. Then walked away, hoping deep within that he would soon see her again.

He hadn't expected Phantom Lord to be crushed as easily as it had been, and he surely hadn't expected Makorov to even ask him to join Fairy Tail. But, he had taken the opportunity, in hope to get to know the blue haired solid script mage more. Even though he figured that she hated his guts, and that thought was confirmed when he had walked through those large doors and she started to tremble in fear. The two men that were usually with her started glaring and yelling at him, only to be silenced by their Master.

Even though he knew it would happen, it hurt to see her flinch away from him in fear, and hide behind pointless objects. He never showed the hurt, but thought of everything he could do to make it right, that was when the thought occurred to him. Allow them to vent their anger about him, and so he had allowed them to bring him to the very tree he had pinned them to, and allowed them to attack. He raised no defense, and had started to feel hope bloom in his chest as realization started to dawn on Levy's face that he wasn't even attempting to stop them, and watched as her fear of him begin to stop. Once again he hadn't been expecting someone else to step into the ring, Laxus' volt of electricity surprised him more than anything, and with the new threat his dragon wanted to arise, but he held it back. He knew that if he attacked back, the fear in her eyes would return, and he would never get close to her.

So, he allowed the blond jerk to pummel him, and was even mildly surprised when Jet and Droy tried to convince him to stop. Even though, he knew it was pointless, because the man was too far gone with wanting to show off his true power. Still, when he directed an attack toward them and missed to go to Levy, he couldn't have stopped his body from moving even if he bolted himself to the ground. Before he even registered his own movement, he had turned his arm into a steel pillar, drew the lightening to him, and withstood the attack. He hadn't been about to let it hit her, because it was him that deserved it, not her.

Even after those events, and everything after that he had experienced with Fairy Tail, he would have never thought that he would end up where he was now. In his large bed, in his hut a distance away from the guild, and with Levy resting peacefully on his chest. It seemed so surreal to him, and almost dream like. He had never been this happy, even though he didn't show it, and never had he expected his life to turn out like this. After the mission that nearly ended them both with George, he had made sure to tell Levy everything about how he felt, and had soon mated her right after she had admitted that she too had the same feelings. It had been two months now, and he smiled as the memories of their wedding day, and night, came back to him.

He had Natsu be his best man, followed by Gray, and had both of him trying to calm him down as he first saw Levy in her brides dress. He had nearly went to her instead of the other way around, but knew better than to move from his spot, even before Natsu and Gray calmed him, because he knew that Makorov, who did the honor of handing her off, wouldn't have hesitated to smack him a good one. His woman was beaming at him the entire time she walked down the aisle, heading for him and her line of Fairy Tail women bridesmaids, Lucy being the Maid of Honor, and had quickly handed her the flowers with a brief hug before turning to him. Tears already glistening in her eyes as they faced the preacher that was to wed them.

After a brief sermon, they had exchanged vows, and were legally wed as husband and wife. The reception was held in Fairy Tail's guild hall, and he barely remembered anything about that time. But his memory was crystal clear about that night with Levy, and just the memories caused him to grow lowly and nuzzle his nose into her hair. Taking in her scent and hold her tighter. He couldn't believe she was truly his now, but he wouldn't want it any other way.

Opening his eyes, he stared at the woman pressed against him and smiled softly. Her blue hair spread out behind her, her face held nothing but peace, and her body was relaxed against his. They had both came so far, and he knew that there was more in store for them. But, he knew that he could handle all of it so long as she was at his side, and that he knew that she was safe. He still recalled the first challenge that they faced together, her moving in with him and Lily, which she had agreed to willingly, but her books were another issue. Most of them had been given to the Fairy Tail library, and a few had made their home to his shelves, and as a compromise for her getting rid of some of her books, he had allowed her to change anything she wished to make it feel more like home to her. The only thing she had changed was the color of the living room walls, which he didn't mind since it did make things slightly brighter than they had been. Although, he gave Levy the most credit for brightening everything around her.

A low sigh drew his gaze back to her, and he nuzzled closer to her as he sensed her beginning to awake. When those chocolate orbs opened he couldn't help but to smile and press a kiss to her forehead.

"Morning, Shrimp." He growled, watching as a breathtaking smile crossed her lips before she tilted her head back.

"Morning." She whispered, stretching slightly to capture his lips in a soft kiss, before retreating and stretching along his side. Causing him to groan as her bare breasts rubbed against his chest, and her stomach pressed against his semi-hard member. He gave a low growl as he saw a teasing look in her eyes as she rolled away from him and sat up, taking the covers with her to cover her chest.

"We need to get moving or else the others will worry about us." She stated, moving to slide off the edge of the bed, but gave a squeak as he gently grabbed her waist and hauled her back and down until she was beneath him. He leaned down, and nipped his mark on her neck before licking it as she groaned loudly and bucked her hips.

"They wont worry if we're a few minutes late." He growled, taking her lips in a heated kiss and allowing his hands to roam her body. He knew that she wanted this, he could sense her want, and was more than happy to give it to her. The guild be damned for now. He swooped down for another kiss, but found her neck as she turned her head to the side with a laugh and started to wiggle, slipping from him and quickly hopping up from the bed and quickly started getting ready for the day. He gave a whine and smirked when she gave him a teasing smirk over her shoulder before wagging her finger in a "no-no" manner and exiting their room. Giving a sigh, he relaxed onto the bed and inhaled her lingering scent before rolling off the bed and started getting ready as well. Looked like he would just have to wait until later to get her back for teasing him. He smiled and gave a laugh as he followed the path she had taken.
