[Fairy Tail]

Brave

[GaLe]

This is actually from my one-shot book, Anime Romance, on Wattpad.

Yet another before my improvement of the art of writing. The old me seriously could not write.

Levy was really nervous. Her heart was skipping at little everytime ahe took She was on her first mission with Gajeel! And how'd this happen? Well...

Five Minutes Earlier...

"Oi! Shrimp!"

Levy blushed slightly at the nickname that Gajeel had labeled her.

"Yeah, Gajeel?" Levy looked up, from the book she was reading.

It was Lucy's. She had finished the 10th chapter, so she gave it to Levy, as she promised, to read.

"Do you want to go on a mission with me and Panther Lily?" Gajeel asked, acting uninterested.

But of course Gajeel was interested. He was kind of nervous, as he asked the little blue haired Mage. He had fallen in love with her, slowly but surely.

At first, he had thought that Levy was an annoying little bookworm, but after getting to know her better, he had thought better of her.

And right now, he was asking her if she wanted to come on a mission, hoping she was going to say yes.

"Umm... I.. Are you sure?" Levy was stuttering a little.

"Why am I asking then?" Gajeel smirked a little as he noticed that Levy was stuttering a little.

"Umm...okay. So when are leaving?"

"Now,"

And just as the rest of the Shadow Gear Team walked into the guild, Gajeel grabbed Levy and walked out. (Yes, Lucy's book was saved. Levy managed to grab it and stuff it in her bag...)

Now

"Oi, Shrimp. What are suppose to be doing again?"

"Umm..well..." Levy looked at the mission sheet. "Mm...capturing a bandit who goes by the name of Crimix".

"Okay then... Hey, shrimp. I caught a weird scent. Lets follow it,"

Gajeel then,promptly took off, with Panther Lily close behind.

"Hey! Wait up!"

Levy ran after them.

~time skip~

"Shrimp! Watch out!""

"Wha-Kya!" Levy screamed as she was hit with a ball of fire.

They had found the bandit...with some of his friends. There were 3 of them,now. The bandit could use ring magic. His first friend could use card magic. His second friend used fire magic.

"Haha! So, Fairy Tail mages aren't really what they claim to be!" The one with fire magic said, evilly, approaching Levy.

She couldn't get back up, because she was frozen with fear.

"Why don't we end this!" And he threw another fireball at Levy.

Levy could only close her eyes. All of the sudden she felt a warm pair of arms scoop her up.

"Huh?" Levy looked.

It was Gajeel!

"You can't leave me that easy, shrimp."

Levy looked up at him, slightly blushing.

A minute later Gajeel put Levy down.

"Stay here, shrimp,"

That's when Levy saw how badly beaten Gajeel was. (He hadn't ate metal for a week, apparently.)

"Gajeel! Wait!"

Gajeel stopped and looked at Levy.

She realized something and had a plan. And she was hoping it would work. But only they had to take out the other two, the card and fire mages.

Ten minutes later, the card and fire mages were taking a long nice nap and the bandit was tied up.

"Thanks shrimp," Gajeel told Levy.

"Welcome. The only reason that they were so powerful was because they had such powerful and old artifacts. So it was easy to come up with that plan," she replied, smirking, while looking up at Gajeel.

She was sitting down on a log. She was completely and overly tired.

Gajeel looked at Panther Lily.

"I, ummm, have to... I'll be right back!" And Panther Lily took his leave.

Gajeel better not mess this up, he thought.

Then Gajeel looked back at Levy.

"Not the plan. For coming with us. And here's your gift," and Gajeel leaned down and planted a kiss on Levy's lips.

Levy frozen or a minute, then looked up at Gajeel. He was double-checking the ropes on the bandit.

Levy smiled, blushing. Then she got an evil glint in her eyes,got up, and jumped onto Gajeel's back.

"What are you doing shrimp?!" Gajeel yelled out surprise.

"Give me a piggyback ride! Otherwise I'll tell the guild about that!"

What? Levy was tired of walking!

"Fine," Gajeel grumbled.

But he was glad to do it.

THE END

Or is it?

"Oh my gosh! Did you see that?! I have to totally tell everybody at the guild!" Snickered a blondie.

"Yeah..." Her partner, a pink-haired guy, didn't seem too interested in listening to her. He was pretty much just staring at her.

"Come on!" The blondie said, excite to get back to the guild hall to tell everyone. Especially Mira. Especially her.

Yes, I couldn't help that the old me was absolutely hooked on NaLu, oops. I hope you enjoyed an maybe one day, I'll edit this and the others I've posted. Ick.
