Hi guys! It's prolly my first time doing more than a one shot, so I'm excited to see what's gonna happen next myself, haha! Hope you'll like it, I tried to be as close to the characters as I could :3 I've been inspired by the song MMMyeah by Austin Mahone, where the sentences are coming from! =D
It goes without saying that Fairy Tail doesn't belong to me, but to Hiro Mashima! Enjoy still~
When I saw her, walking down the street, she looked so fine I just had to sneak...
Gajeel was not a man for books; he knew how to read, but never bothered digging deeper because books are boring. The only thing he likes about them was their scent. It always stroked him as a subtle yet powerful aroma. Anyhow, he loved way more composing his works of arts, also known as some really weird rock-metal songs on his electric guitar. But most of all, Gajeel was a man who fight; he loved skirmishes and brawling and wrestling and really, anything related to self-defense and combat. His long, spiky black hairs, along with his numerous piercings and sharp red eyes accentuate his thug attitude and that will of fighting. He could swear to Mavis, never in his life has an opponent knocked him out and yet... here he was, hiding behind a book; of all things, totally hypnotized by this bluenette of petite stature, like a high school girl stalking his crush. He did not know why, really, he was stocked in this situation. No, that's not true. He perfectly knew why he was in a library, creepily staring at a young, innocent and perfectly shape young woman. Shit, that last thought slipped his mind. Wait, was he really lying to himself? In his own head? What the... really? That was starting to get ridiculous.
As he was getting up, the young woman did too and went to the librarian with a pile of books.
- I'm sorry Levy, but you already know the rule; not more than 5 books!
Levy? Eh, what a sweet name. Ugh why was he thinking that. He didn't even know her!
- A girl's trying right?, she laughed lightly. OK then. Let me grab those three!
She hands the books, wait for them to be registered and take the door. Being already at the entrance, Gajeel opened it for her. Taking it as an act of kindness, Levy smiled at him, saying a polite "thank you" that sounded like music to his ears. But in reality, it was to have a better look at her rear; because yeah, that was the main reason he followed her to this cursed place. Oh, and to ask her number. Who knows? She looked cute. Maybe she would even be flattered to see a man as perfect and manly as him asking her out. Yeah, let's give it a shot.
He rushed to her side, posing his hand on her right shoulder, to which she answered with a jump and a surprised face toward him.
- Mh? Oh, you are the guy creeping on me at the library! What do you want?
- Well yeah um... what?
Woah how the hell did she noticed?!
- You are the most easily readable person I've ever seen! Of course I saw you following me. And judging by your piercings, you probably are not someone who hang out at the library often.
Woah woah woah! Is she a genius or something? Does she read his mind or what?!
- I- um... I don't know... what you are talking about haha!
- At least be honest with it so we can wash it off and speak about something else.
- Mh. OK you got me there- Wait what- you wanna speak with me?!
He sounded surprise and almost, almost is the key word, desperate. After all, being caught eye-seeing is pretty awkward and he was lucky she was less than half his height, because she probably would have slapped him hard. She didn't answer right away before smiling shyly at him. He was sure his cold, iron hard heart was melting right about now. That pinkish blush on her chins... oh Mavis.
- Well, I don't know...? You seemed to want to know something about me, so why not go to a coffee shop and talk? I like meeting new peoples! Even if you are a bit... weird, for the less, heehee.
- A... coffee? Um, yeah OK sounds good to me.
For someone who'd never lose to a single man before... there he was, almost blushing in front of a shrimp-sized girl, struggling with his words. And to top it off, he was the one who was supposed to ask her out, not the opposite! She completely caught him off guard; something he never ever lived before. Ugh, he could feel his brain becoming a big, fluffy and cheesy marshmallow as his attention was all on her perfect bottom; walking behind, he had a perfect view of her hips, legs, waist but most of all; her booty. She probably felt it because Levy suddenly turned her head toward him, her eyes slightly mad and a smirk on her face.
- You know, my butt doesn't have the ability to speak yet. Maybe you wanna come besides me? That way we can... talk. You know, what you wanted?
- Uh? I wasn't looking at your ass, shrimp! You should learn that all the world doesn't turn around you and your god blessed butt!
- Are you seriously- what?
She blushed furiously and entered the first café the bluenette saw, avoiding eye contact, heading directly for the most far away table, near a window so she could look outside and forget she literally invited a creep to converse with her alone self. What if he was dangerous? Ugh. She's gonna head to work right after that. No way is he gonna follow her. So weird...
The grand man took a seat and ordered a dark coffee. Levy ordered a latte.
It's crazy how coffee shows a person's personality.
- So..., she started.
- Um, yeah, I, um... sorry. For acting dumb. I just... I don't know. It's like my head forced me to follow ya... fate, is that how it's called? Man sometimes I should just shut the hell up.
He turned his head, his face crimson red and his eyes visibly angry about himself. The petite woman could not help but chuckle a bit. He was not a simple jerk... he was a big teddy bear jerk.
- You know... you don't need to act all tough with me; you don't have to prove me anything!
- Stop it. I don't act like this; I am a bad person. If ya knew the number of jerks I beated down.
- Nah, I know your style, she smiled at the maid and took a sip of her latte, you act all bad and big but inside you're just a big, fluffy teddy bear!
She laughed at the idea of him being like this. Oh! What a funny sight it would be!
- Oi, I ain't no teddy bear, shrimp.
She stopped laughing and looked at him, her cheeks pink and puff up, like an angry Jigglypuff.
- I'm not a shrimp! And stop calling me name; what is yours anyway?
- Name's Gajeel. And your's Levy, ya?
- Uh? Hey, how do you know?! So you really are a creep!
- What? No! I heard ya name at the library.
- Oh... yeah. Haha. Sorry. I'm... not really used talking to people.
- It's okay. I ain't a man of words either, gihi.
- Gihi? What is that sound?!
She started laughing again and he could not help but look at her with annoyance. And a little smile. But only in his head. Smart, pretty and funny? Hell, what kind of man would he be if he didn't ask her her number?
- Oh... I'm sorry. For laughing. Anyway. You visibly do not like books, so what's your hobby?
- I write the best song ever! Gihi, nothing less from me.
- I see..., she took a sip. I would like to hear that! Are you in a band or something?
- Nah. Myself is enough to compose the greatest masterpieces!
She simply smiled. But, oh Mavis, how beautiful of a sight it was. Maybe it was that: fate. He just could not help but look at her, wanting to see, to learn more. Plus they would look hella fine together. Gihi.
She suddenly stopped smiling and looked at her watch. Sadly, she finished her coffee fast with a bitter face and excused herself, much to her regret.
- Oh, I'm sorry, I would really like to continue speaking with you, but I have to go. In hope we will see each others soon!
Hurriedly, Levy dropped money on the table and ran fast, heading toward an unknown place.
- ... shit. I didn't ask her number! Ugh.
He finished his coffee, paid and followed her, but to no avail; she already disappeared. And it goes without saying that small like she is, finding her was hard. Kicking an imaginary rock, Gajeel took angrily the direction of his job, knowing today would be a shit day.
And, just like Cinderella, the princess took her legs and ran far, far away. Somewhere he didn't know; and probably never will.
At least, that's what he thought. But fairy tales cannot just end like this, right?
As she walk, all that I could say was mmmyeah...
Aaaand that's it for chapter 1! Hope you appreciated it, I'll try to update as soon as I can :3 until now, see ya~!
