I don't own Fairy Tail or its characters

.

Gajeel Redfox was never a studious guy; which was exactly why he needed a tutor. If only he wasn't so scary, then maybe someone would actually teach him instead of making a break for it.

No tutor brought him to his current problem; in a coffee shop glaring at his computer. His incomplete English Lit. Paper glared back harshly at him. It was probably the glare from the light, but alas, his staring contest with his paper was cut short. He was jarred from his broodings when a peppy voice called his name.

"Ano, Gajeel Redfox with a Grande Black Coffee?"

He stood up in a huff.

"Aa, that's me."

He walked to the counter and tried to grab his coffee from the blue haired barista but she pulled his coffee back.

"Y-you're in my English Lit. Class, right? I saw your computer. I-I could help you if you wanted?" She smiled uneasily and nervously.

Gajeel blinked once, twice, then thrice. Then he finally looked at her.

'Damn, she's cute.'

Besides that though, she wanted to help him? Her waist just barely made it over the counter between them and she wants to help him? Normally, males taller than her cowered before him, but like hell was he going to pass this chance up!

"Gihee, that'd be cool," he smirked.

She smiled radiantly as her uneasiness melted

"Then, I get off at 5. Did you want to meet up after?".

"Aa sounds good. See ya 'round Shorty."

She only gawked at the newly appointed nickname.

He quickly grabbed his coffee, packed his computer and walked out the door.

But before he left, he heard a small squeak:

"I-it's Levy, Levy McGarden!"

A/N This is my first fanfiction but I do welcome constructive criticism.
