Chapter One: Only a Nightmare.
As Gajeel finished taking care of the fairies he looked down at his handy work, clothes tattered and torn, bodies battered and bruised. He flashed a wicked smile knowing he did just what his master asked. As he began to leave he didn't know why but he cast one last look at the smallest of the trio that he strung up on the tree, she know wore the sign of his guild, plastered upon her stomach paint still wet. She met his gaze with clearly hatred in her eyes, "You are nothing but a monster."
Gajeel jolted up in bed, his clothes clung to his body caked with a cold sweat. He fell back to his bed lying on his back staring up at the ceiling of his run down one room apartment, "Damn, It's been awhile since I've had that dream, No it wasn't a dream it was a nightmare." Gajeel lay in bed closing his eyes trying to get back to sleep, But he felt a set of eyes looking at him almost burning through his very soul. He opened his eyes and met the stare of his comrade. The little black cat had a clear look of concern stretched across his face.
"Did you have the nightmare again?" the little black exceed asked the iron dragon slayer placing a paw on his chest. Gajeel just closed his eyes and grunted in response knowing his partner already knew, "You have to get over this, you know she has forgiven you, they all have." Lilly said to Gajeel concern still clearly eminent in his voice,
"I know Lilly, but you weren't there, you didn't see the way she looked at me." Gajeel said then he took a deep sigh swallowing the large lump that had formed in his throat, "She looked at me like I was a monster, Just like everyone else does." Gajeel continued his eyes still shut tightly,
"I don't think of you as a monster Gajeel, We all have skeletons in our closet, me included." Lilly said while walking towards the end of his bed, "Come on let's start our day early, we can go find you some iron to snack on," Lilly said jumping off the edge of the bed landing gracefully on the floor. Gajeel just grunted and swung his feet over the edge of the bed. He stood up and walked groggily towards the bathroom ready to start his day but still with only one thing on his mind, and that was her. He got to the bathroom and slowly closed the door. He turned on the hot water in the shower and allowed it to run awhile because it took a bit to heat up. While his shower was heating he undressed himself placing his sweaty clothes in the laundry basket near the door. He entered the shower allowing the hot water to run down his body washing off the sweat from the night. Though the sweat was running off his body the feeling in the pit of his stomach wouldn't leave him.
"What is it about her something just won't get her out of my head?" Gajeel said quietly to himself as he let the warm water wash down him almost as if he was attempting to wash all his sins and regret right down the drain along with the sweat that clung to his body. He sat in the shower pondering what things would have been like if he had only met levy at another time or place, Perhaps if he'd come to fairy tail as a kid instead of phantom lord, Or if that day he hadn't gone looking for fairies to hurt, but that wasn't how things were. Gajeel turned off the water and exited the shower grabbing a towel that had been draped over the door knob and placing it upon his head. He ruffled his hair at an attempt the drain the water out of his long full locks. He then moved to his body making sure to not leave any residual water on his body. He wrapped the towel around his waist and exited the bathroom making sure to leave the light on for Lilly. He got to his drawer and pulled out a pair of white pants that he pulled on one leg at a time. He then grabbed his usual coat pulled it over his bare chest then he found socks. He sat on his bed while waiting for lily to be ready but he kept catching himself thinking about her, He shook his head vigorously trying to shake the thoughts out of his head. He pulled his boots on just in time for Lilly to emerge from the bathroom,
"It seems as if you are ready to go, alright then off to the guild." Lilly said to Gajeel as he walked out the front door with Gajeel close to his side. But as Gajeel was walking down the semi crowded sidewalk he had a dazed look over his face which Lilly picked up very quickly. "Correct I if I'm wrong but you are thinking of her again" but before Gajeel had time to answer they heard someone call from behind them,
"Thinking of who?" Gajeel and Lilly both looked over their shoulder and what Gajeel saw horrified him. It was none other than the small bluenette in question. Gajeel didn't know what to do or say, He just stood there staring at her for what seemed to be an eternity, His mouth dry a lump forming in his throat, He was paralyzed, trapped in her gaze she cast at him using her beautiful hazel eyes, Completely stunned by her beauty. He couldn't understand why he was like this, he was the one and only black steel Gajeel the iron dragon slayer. He fought countless enemies far more terrifying than the small woman standing in front of him, yet she could still stop him in his tracks using nothing more than her gaze. This terrified him.
So what'd you guys think? The second chapter will hopefully be up shortly crossing my fingers on that on though! I'm hoping to make this a multi chapter story and I sort of know the direction I would like to go with it but who knows that could all change!
P.S text problem should be fixed.
