We started like enemies. The war between our former guilds made me do something wich, in that moment, I couldn't care less about. But then I realised that what I have done was unforgivable. I never regretted something so much like that: hurt the girl, no, woman, that later will become so important to me.
Who didn't feel something like that sometime? A pain in their chest for bretraying someone or something they believed about? That is when I started making my amends, at the beginning because I was feeling guilty, I couldn't stand watching her cower in fear in my presence. But when I started to know her better, I just needed her. I needed her forgiveness, her company, her care, her trust.
The bookworm was the last person I expected to talk to me first like someone special and important for her. With time we started being partners and later friends, or that is what I forced me to believe: the truth is I was falling for her. Hard.
Even freakin Juvia was telling me about how shy I was to not tell her how I felt. Me? Shy? I must admit I was a bit embarrassed, but not shy! And I felt deep down that I was forbidden from her. I couldn't have her, I couldn't touch her, anything! But anyway I kept her near by my side if I had the chance.
That changed after the battle with Tartaros, when she saved my ass, and while we were working in the Council. That year was...very interesting. Who I am kidding? It was fuckin weird. Working with the Shrimp 24/7 was something I never expected after that tree-man offer me to work from him. He was crying after I accepted, tsk, crazy geezer.
Our relationship improved a lot, basically I told Lev how I feel, even now. That I love her. And I wasn't expecting the same response from her and a kiss with that. That kiss was accompanied with touches, and I think I will never forget that night. The first of many more together.
She even confessed that she didn't feel worthy for me. I wanted to laugh so hard, even now that I remember that statement. Did she really believe that? I think it was quite the opposite. I feel blessed to have her by my side.
And that is when I decided that if she was happy with me, with this fuckin bastard who was very selfish sometimes, this isn't a forbidden love. Seeing her be happy is all that matter to me.
I can be myself with her, I can trust her with my life, and that is something I won't let go easily. Because finding a person like Levy, was a light in the hell that was being my life since Metalicana left. Well, in Denish with Mash wasn't that bad, but I didn't feel like I belonged completely there. It was just fun.
During our time like custodies in the Enforcement Unit, we faced a lot of trouble together. We shared laughs, thoughts, fears, and that made us more close than ever. I remember how afraid I was that time when she went to her infiltration in Avatar's church. What the hell was she thinking, offering to go on a job like that!? But then I remembered how she hated when I didn't trust her...but I was just worried.
I have never been so afraid until we faced the Spriggan 12 and Zeref. Levy was restless, and so was I. I tried to comfort her in my 'odd ways' (according to Levy) but that at least gave us some peace until hell broke loose. Because Alvarez Empire wasn't something to joke about.
When I was in Phantom Lord, I used to think that love was the biggest load of bullshit someone could feel. It was supposed to make you feel weak, sad, hopeless. But when I met Levy and got to know her better I knew I was wrong. Even being in Fairy Tail made me realize this. It is not a sin to fall in love, you can't even arrest someone over that.
First time writing! I hope Gajeel is not too OOC, I made this really quick, hope you like it! These two are perfect together. Please share your thoughts with me! What do you think is going to happen in the manga next? About anything!
