Chapter 1: Gajeel's Intervention
Levy's alarm went off at 7:00 AM sharp. She had two hours to get up and get ready for breakfast at the guild and after that she would be on her way to her favorite authors book signing in Crocus! The blunette put her arms above her head and stretched before getting the crust out of her eyes. She had stayed up practically all night packing and giddy from the excitement. She had at least ten of the books Mr. Crunkle had written and she was going to get them all signed! Before getting out of bed she couldn't help but finish the last couple chapters of the book she started reading last night from not being able to sleep. It was a book of romance and adventure and she was hooked. Although Levy loved learning from books, romantic novels were her guilty pleasure. She wasn't getting any romance in her real life so she might as well indulge in a little fantasy. No one knew that when she read she imagined the toned, strong, Iron Dragon Slayer as the love interest she thought with a slight pang in her chest. "Ah, I wonder if I'll ever get the courage to tell him how I feel", she wondered aloud. Shaking off the thought, Levy got out of bed and began getting ready for her day.
Shortly after leaving Fairy Hills, she ran into Wendy and Carla heading towards the guild as well. The white exceed was strolling alongside her best friend at a leisurely pace. "Good Morning, Levy-chan! Are you on the way to the guild too?" The older blunette excitedly nodded her head. "Yes! Today is the day I head for Crocus, tomorrow is my favorite authors book signing and I want to be the first in line! Wendy's face lit up as she expressed her gladness that Levy was so excited. " Are Droy and Jet going to be accompanying you?" Levy looked downcast and she guiltily said, "No, I just need a break from them. We have been going on mission after mission lately. It's not that I don't love them, I just need a little break". Carla nodded, "Levy-chan, that's nothing to be ashamed of! Wendy and I need breaks from each other sometimes and I DEFINITELY need breaks with Happy. Although, for Happy it's more of a daily break", she chuckled to herself. Levy's face brightened after Carla's confession. "Thanks Carla, That made me feel a lot better!" The trio then reached the doors and went off their separate ways. Carla to find Happy and PantherLily, Wendy to find Romeo, and Levy to the bar so she could order some breakfast before her journey.
After Levy ordered her breakfast from Mira, she excitedly told the beautiful white haired mage her weekend plans. Across the room, a certain dragon slayers heart started racing as his ears perked up to listen in on the conversation between the barmaid and the bookworm. "Hush, Rain Woman, I'm trying to hear something", the Iron Dragon Slayer said to his best friend. She had been complaining about her Gray-sama and how his lack of attention was really starting to get on her nerves. He suddenly felt a protective urge when he heard the shrimp tell demon girl that she was planning on going on her trip solo. Gajeel practically jumped out of his chair and sprinted to the Master's office, thinking quickly he knocked on the door instead of barging in.
"Come in, Brat" Makarov said and was pleased and surprised that the Iron Dragon Slayer was at his door. Gajeel scratched behind his ear and hesitated before he said, "Look, Master, I have a favor to ask". The old man curiously, said " Well, tell me then." Gajeel raised a pierced eyebrow and his face turned violently red as her sputtered out, " Levy is going to Crocus for the weekend and I don't think she should go alone but I'm too embarrassed to ask her if I can escort her and if you could just tell her, I'll be going with her, for her safety then that'd be great. The old man couldn't keep his laughter inside as he bellowed out and the Iron dragon Slayer turned beet red". Sure, I don't mind doing that for ya, brat.
Gajeel and Makarov left the office as Gajeel slinked back to his table trying to go unnoticed, but Natsu saw him go in and was curious as to why his friend wanted to speak to Gramps. The master went over to the bar and got Levy's attention. "Levy, the crime rate has gone up in Crocus and I would feel better if you did not go alone. I have asked Gajeel to escort you this, weekend, do you have a problem with that?" Droy and Jet immediately jumped up in protest before Gramps said "Pipe down you too, you have already taken a job for the weekend and it's rude to cancel on clients". Pissed as they were that the stupid brute would be alone with their Levy all weekend, they knew not to argue with the Master. Levy started blushing but she said, Thank you Master, that's a good idea".
Gajeel came up, "OI Shrimp! Get your tail into gear and let's get on the road. I'd like to make it their before nightfall since I'm stuck with you this weekend. Levy jumped up, "You don't have to be STUCK with me, I'm SURE Lucy and Natsu wouldn't mind coming along". She was saddened that Gajeel thought being with her all weekend wasn't his idea of fun. Makarov cut in before Gajeel could respond, and said "NO, Gajeel is my decision. That is all." and walked away.
Gajeel and Levy said their goodbyes to their friends. Levy needed some last minute advice from Lucy, now that her crush was going with her. Gajeel had to talk PantherLily out of coming along, and stopped by Wendy's table for a favor and they made their way out the door. "Oi, Bookworm, I've got to stop by my house and pick up a few things before we go okay. Let's go.".
As the two of them left the guild, Master was smiling, Levy's heart was racing from the thought of being with Gajeel alone all weekend, and the Iron Slayer was pleased that his plan had worked out.
