So I'm starting a one-shot series! Yay? This will be for basically any random couple in Fairy Tail that I feel like writing for. Updates will be irregular. You have been warned. I might let people request oneshots or couples, but I don't know yet!
I do not own Fairy Tail.
It was highly unusual for people to see Levy McGarden in any mood but cheerful. So when she stormed into the guild, her expression furious, even Jet and Droy got the hint and fled.
Levy fumed silently from a table in the corner of the room. She looked like she was ready to kill someone. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and her usually warm brown eyes shot daggers at any wandering mage stupid enough to approach her spot. Of course, Gajeel was never that smart anyway.
As the iron dragon slayer approached the murderous bookworm, several of Fairy Tail's more regular drinkers were sat at the bar, lamenting the loss of one of their dragon slayers.
"It's a crying shame," Wakaba said. "That boy's too young to die."
Cana rolled her eyes and jabbed him in the ribs with her elbow. "Don't you think you're being a bit melodramatic Wakaba? I mean it's not like she's gonna kill him or anything. I don't think Levy has it in her to hurt so much as a bug."
Macao took a large swig of his glass. "I dunno Cana," he said, "she looks pretty pissed to me."
"What d'you think got her all riled up anyways?" Wakaba asked curiously.
"Probably something to do with her precious books," Macao said shaking his head. "Young people these days are just ridiculous."
"Old," teased Cana, a smirk on her face. "I still stand by my point though. There's no way she's gonna do anything."
"Care to make that into a wager?" said Wakaba, chewing on his cigarette.
"What kinda wager we talking about here?" asked Cana wrinkling her nose at the disgusting action.
"It's simple really," Wakaba explained. "Me and oldie here-"
"We're the same age!" Macao yelled. The simultaneous glares from Wakaba and Cana made him turn back to his drink, muttering profanities under his breath.
"As I was saying," continued Wakaba, "Me and Macao, against you on whether Levy's gonna snap and attack Gajeel. We say yes, you say no."
"Wait a minute!" protested Macao, waving his hands around and almost hitting Wendy as she walked by, earning him a few choice words from Charle (which he ignored). "I never agreed to any of this!" Cana and Wakaba elected to ignore him and turned back around to face each other. Macao frowned into his drink, grumbling about how no one appreciated him.
"What are we betting here Wakaba?" said Cana. Wakaba smirked.
"Why the usual of course. Loser buys drinks for the next week."
Cana thought for a moment. "You're on old man."
They shook hand and turned to watch the events unfolding, with Macao face down on the counter, still mumbling to himself.
This might not have been my smartest decision, mused Gajeel as he approached shrimp's corner table. She looks fucking pissed.
However much his thoughts disagreed though, Gajeel still plonked his body down next to the silently fuming bookworm. He watched her for a bit, uncertain how to proceed. Why'd he even come over here anyway? Yeah sure, he hated seeing squirt sad and all, but didn't she have like chick friends? Where the hell was bunnygirl when you needed her? Oh right wasn't she out with stupid Natsu and her team? Plus, bookworms fanboys (god he hated those guys), had run like the pussies they were when Levy had entered the guild that morning. Did that really leave him as the next closest person to her? Wow. Stop it Gajeel. That shouldn't make you so happy goddamnit.
As all that had been running through Gajeel's mind, beside him Levy had come to her own conclusion.
"Go away Gajeel," she said quietly. Gajeel blinked in surprise. He'd expected yelling and screaming, not this quiet dismissal.
"Uh...You okay shrimp?" Inside he cursed. Good fucking job Gajeel. Now she'll open up.
"I'm fine," Levy replied curtly. "Now go away." Gajeel sighed in frustration.
"Look shrimp, obviously you're not fine. Even your dense as fuck fanboys realised that."
Levy's lip wobbled. She looked like she was about to cry, which made Gajeel panic inwardly. No, no, no I am not equipped to deal with a crying bookworm right now!
Shrimp seemed to pull herself together, and glared up at him. "Nothing is wrong Gajeel. Now go away."
The iron dragon slayer grumbled inwardly. So this is how it's gonna be huh?
Gajeel stood up suddenly, almost knocking the table over. He looked down at Levy, his red eyes glinting with an unidentifiable emotion. He grabbed the solid script mage, and tossed her over his shoulder, before walking out of the guild, leaving Cana and Wakaba gaping at the door.
There was a 10 second delay before she started hitting him with all the strength her tiny body possessed. Her face was bright red (although from anger or embarrassment Gajeel couldn't tell). Gajeel himself was a bit embarrassed. The hell am I doing? Though, he had to admit, the feeling of Levy's body against his was...nice.
"Let me go Gajeel!" Levy screamed at him, ignoring the weird looks they got from bystanders.
"No."
"Seriously? I told you I'm fine." Levy said crankily.
"No you're not. Stop freaking out, it's not that much further."
Gajeel felt Levy slump in defeat and smiled at his small victory.
About five minutes later Gajeel put Levy down. "Here we are," he grunted.
Levy looked around, disoriented.
"Where is here?" she asked, and then added as an afterthought, "I'm still mad at you by the way."
Gajeel didn't blush. Sure his face went slightly red, but it was hot out! In fall. Yeah. They were having an unseasonably warm fall. But he most definitely did not blush.
The two of them were standing in a small clearing, in a forest just outside of Magnolia. It was really a beautiful, peaceful place. The grass was a beautiful pale green, and flowers in every colour of the rainbow dotted the small space. It was surrounded by willow trees, and you could hear the soft chirping of birds. It wasn't exactly the kind of place you'd expect to find Gajeel.
"It's just somewhere I found when I was coming back from a mission. I've been meaning to show it to you for a while now," he replied (still totally not blushing).
"It's beautiful," Levy breathed. Then she whirled around to look at Gajeel. "But that doesn't get you off the hook you know!"
"Yeah, yeah. C'mon sit down shrimp." Grudgingly, Levy complied. "Now tell me what the hell's wrong!"
Levy looked down. "I guess you won't really believe me if I say it's nothing huh?"
"Nope."
She sighed. "You remember my boyfriend Charlie? Blue eyes, red hair?"
Oh yeah. Gajeel had totally forgotten about that jerk. He hated him too. Although he'd never actually met him...
"I guess I shouldn't be so angry. Maybe I'm overreacting. Anyway, I realised a while ago, that I shouldn't be dating Charlie, because I was in love with someone else."
Gajeel growled inwardly.
"I figured it was terrible of me to string the poor guy along, so this morning before I went into the guild I went to his house to break up with him. And when I got there..." Levy trailed off before sniffling slightly. "I saw-"
She only got about that far before breaking out into tears. Gajeel sat next to her, unsure of what to do. He pulled her close, awkwardly attempting to comfort her by patting her blue hair. God he was gonna kill this punk for making Levy cry.
The bluenette looked up at him, her eyes red. "When I got there," she continued shakily. "He was having sex with some girl!" She wailed before diving back into Gajeel's embrace. I'm killing him. Enjoy your last half hour of life mother fucker.
"Am I overreacting?" Levy mumbled from his shoulder.
"Nah." Gajeel said. "I'm gonna kill that jerk for ya Levy."
She looked up at him and smiled weakly. "No Gajeel, it's okay. You don't have to do anything. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble for it."
Gajeel grumbled, but if Levy wanted him to stay away he would. For now. Hehe was still curious about something though.
"Well who was the dude you were gonna break up with him for?" Please don't let it be Jet or Droy.
Levy went bright pink. "No one!" She yelped.
Gajeel was confused as to why she was so embarrassed. Why was he so embarrassed? And...some other emotion he couldn't identify. Whatever.
"Okay okay you don't have to tell me jeez."
Levy nodded still blushing.
"Are you good to go back to the guild shrimp?"
"Don't call me that Gajeel!" Levy shoved him, before blushing.
Gajeel rolled his eyes. "Are you good to go back to the guild Levy?"
Levy shook her head. "Is it okay if we just stay here for a bit?" She asked, still pressed up against him.
"Uhhh yeah?" Gajeel replied. He relaxed slightly. "Course it is."
Levy relaxed against his body. Gajeel didn't know who it was she loved, but they were going to have to fight him for the tiny, adorable bookworm. Because he wasn't letting this go without a serious fight.
Has anyone noticed how much I adore Cana, Wakaba, and Macao? I actually like some of the background characters in the anime more than the main ones.
So that was the first in this series. They will not be connected in any way ever. Sorry if it didn't have the intense romance you wished for, but it hinted enough yes? All of the romantic kisses and such just sounded forced. I have more in the works, and you can request specific things if you want. The next one up will maybe feature Loke and Aries? No promises though. What does everyone think of Charlie? Kind of a dick right?
