"Mira! Can I have another alcoholic eggnog?" chorused throughout the guild. It was finally Christmas day; a day filled with gift giving, spending time with loved ones, and- at Fairy Tail at least- alcoholic eggnog. Jet and Droy were making bets one who could get a New Year's kiss from Levy, Natsu and Gray were fighting over who was stronger, Lucy was chatting with Mira and Cana, Juvia was watching Gray- as usual- with hearts in her eyes, Erza was video chatting with Jellal from prison, finally there was Gajeel, who was sitting all alone. Normally you found a blue haired girl hovering around him, or him watching her to make sure Jet and Droy treated her well, but Levy wasn't there. Gajeel looked through the guild again, to see if she had suddenly appeared within the last twenty seconds, but to his dismay the pixie like girl was nowhere to be found.
"Something wrong Gajeel?" came a quiet voice. Gajeel automatically knew who it was without having to look.
"Why would you think something is wrong Wendy?" Gajeel said turning to see the young girl. Wendy was wearing a long sleeved red dress with fur trimming around the sleeves and the bottom of it, finished off with a Santa hat and red boots. Gajeel couldn't help but smile at how cute she looked.
"You keep looking around the guild," Wendy pointed out. Dang, Gajeel thought, she was certainly perceptive. Suddenly Wendy's little boyfriend, Romeo, appeared beside her, holding her hand.
"He's probably looking for Levy, correct?" Romeo asked. Gajeel glared at Romeo, how did this kid now he liked Levy?
"How did you know?" Gajeel asked still glaring. What was with this little shrimp?
"It's obvious to anyone who pays attention. It is just as obvious that Levy likes you. Though if you are looking for her here you will never find her. She doesn't come to the guild on Christmas," Romeo informed Gajeel. Gajeel looked confused, why wouldn't Levy come here to enjoy Christmas? This worried Gajeel, was something wrong?
"Do you know why?" Gajeel pushed for answers. Sadly Romeo didn't have any.
"No one does. Well, Jet and Droy might. Best bet is to ask them or go ask Levy yourself. She lives up on Fairy Hills, I do believe she stays there for Christmas alone," Romeo commented. ALONE, Gajeel felt like screaming. Why wouldn't Jet and Droy at least try and celebrate with her! This made him madder than anything else ever had. In a blind rage he stormed over to the drunk Jet and Droy.
"JET! DROY!" Gajeel roared making the two in question freeze from fear. Both looked very confused as to what they did to invoke the rage of the Dragon Slayer. "HOW DARE YOU TWO LEAVE LEVY ALONE ON CHRISTMAS?!" Gajeel yelled at them. They both were now shaking from Gajeel's tone.
"We tried when we were younger but she always said not to worry!" Jet squeaked out. Droy was nodded furiously to agree with his partner. Gajeel had scared them both sober.
"SO?! Levy is the type of girl who will say anything to make sure no one worries! She hates it when anyone worries over her! Even if she is falling apart she would tell everyone she was okay and put on a fake smile!" Gajeel scolded the two boys. Jet and Droy looked down ashamed knowing that Gajeel was right. The Dragon Slayer already knew a lot about Levy.
"She doesn't want to be bothered though," Droy mumbled, still trying to defend himself.
"Do you know why?!" Gajeel asked them, eyeing them both. Both shook their heads. "You never even bothered asking?!" he roared. Both of them were nearly reduced to tears. "You know what, I'll have Elfman deal with you, I am going to see Levy," Gajeel said motioning for Elfman to come over. Gajeel quickly explained what was going on, launching Elfman into his normal "man" rant.
"HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO BE A MAN!" Elfman roared at the two. Gajeel then walked up to Mira.
"Give me two non-alcoholic eggnogs," Gajeel told Mira. Mira nodded and handed them to Gajeel.
"Going to see Levy-chan?" Mira asked Gajeel who nodded. "Good, she always seems so lonely this time of year," Mira gushed.
"Well that stops now," Gajeel said putting on his cloak and walking out into the snowy night with the two eggnogs.
Gajeel knocked on the small red door of Levy's apartment complex. He heard someone sobbing and obviously trying to stop crying. "Coming," came a voice raw from crying. There was some shuffling around, probably moving books so she could get to the door, and then the door opened. "Listen I don't feel like a carol tonight," Levy said, then her eyes got big when she realized Gajeel was standing there. "Gajeel! W-what are you doing here?!" she asked shocked.
Gajeel was speechless, never before had he seen Levy like this. Her hair was messy, her eyes red from crying, she was in PJs that were all wrinkled up, most alarming of all was the fact she didn't have the same smile that she normally wore. "You weren't at the guild. Christmas is about spending time with the ones you care about right?" Gajeel asked.
"Well come in," Levy said allowing him to come in. Gajeel handed her a bottle of eggnog, which made her give him a weak smile of thanks.
"Why weren't you at the guild?" Gajeel asked concerned. Levy frowned and looked down at the eggnog Gajeel gave her.
"My parents died on Christmas," Levy explained to him, "ten years ago." Gajeel brought her into a hug and then looked her in the eyes.
"You will never have to be alone for Christmas again, I swear that to you," Gajeel said and then brought her into a kiss. Levy kissed back gently, happy tears shown in her eyes. "Merry Christmas Levy."
"Merry Christmas Gajeel," Levy said kissing him again.
