So if you haven't noticed by my update chapter I posted a long time ago I'm remaking this entire fanfiction with another plot and everything.

Every fanfiction I seen Gajeel and Levy always knew each other and just grew towards loving each other.

So what would be the outcome if they were complete strangers and met by accident? Well that the premise of this story. We have Levy a script mage from Fairy Tail and Gajeel a Guildless Dragon Slayer who is a tattoo artist. Yes, I made him a tattoo artist deal with it.

The story starts with Levy well getting a tattoo with Jet and Skinny Droy, Yeah I made him skinny again, when a ruthless gang comes rolling in.

The day they did roll in the Owner wasn't around so Gajeel was in charge and he didn't know that they were here for money.

So well, they started harassing the customers and that where he snapped because the number on rule in Satin tattoo parlor always keep the customer happy no matter what.

Keeping the fact he was a Dragon Slayer a secret he attacked the eight huge men with his fists and it didn't go to well.

He managed to take down three of them before the rest bought him down and began betting him to a pulp before leaving the store.

That all I'm going to say about the first chapter in this story. Before I begin I wanted to say a few more things.

I'm not a perfect grammar person because I write like I talk and say each sentence out loud after writing it. If it sounds good to my ear then it sounds good.

Therefore, if you see any grammatical mistakes ignore them because they won't be corrected any time soon. If I misspell something, you can mention that to me and I will change it before updating the chapter.

The last thing the entire story will be from Gajeel eyes unless I saw in the intro who will be the P.O.V so every I you see automatically assume that Gajeel is speaking.

Now I hope you enjoy my first chapter

Chapter 1: The Parlor Beatdown

Today was a hot summer day in the Magnolia town as usual not a cloud in the sky.

I walked out my apartment and shielded my eyes from the bright yellow orb in the sky "Go dammit I don't like this sun at all" I said taking my aviator shades from between my partially unbuttoned dress shirt and slid them on my face.

Lily closed the door behind him "Well I'm pretty sure the sun doesn't like you either," he said as I looked at him with a mean look.

I reached down and picked up the small black exceed by his head "Well the sun doesn't like anyone" I said propping him on my shoulder.

Lily squirmed for a second before stopping when he noticed where he was "next time give me a warning before you just pick me up" he said as I laughed and started walking.

We arrived at the tattoo parlor and I noticed the lights were 'usually he beats me here guess I'm opening shop today' I thought to myself.

I reached into my pocket, pulled out a black key and slipped into the lock of the similar color.

I sighed and turned the lock before using my left shoulder to open the door 'Today is going to be an interesting day without Satin here' I thought stepping inside the small building. Lily hopped off my shoulder and ran over to his station in the back of the room after I turned on the lights.

Satin Parlor is a local Tattoo Parlor in the city run well by Satin Mist, which is the place where I got my piercing and was the first friend I met in Magnolia as well, for the last 5 years. I am the recent employee two years under my belt since the employee before me, Satin fired for disorderly conduct and I have my own booth as well.

I really like this job the staff and the employees are amazing most of the time. We get a few rowdy people but Satin or his sister usually takes care of them but something tells me neither of them will be here today.

I walked over to my station and began checking if anything is out of place since yesterday when I saw something on Satin office door.

I walked over and saw a note taped on the door. I saw my name written in his exquisite cursive so I pulled the note off the door and opened it. I scanned the letter before reading it out loud "Gajeel I won't be in work today I have some family issues to take care of so you and Melissa are in charge of the Parlor till tomorrow make me proud and remember make the customer always happy" I said with a deep sigh.

I walked to the front of the room as the sound of the bell ringing caused me to look up "Oh hello Melissa read this it's from Satin" I said handing her the note.

She closed the door and took the note from me and scanned it lightly before sighing "I don't understand why my brother continues to help her but he did say he would stay by his cousin side till the end so I can't change his mind" she said handing then note back to me.

Melissa Mist, is Satin younger sister, is the Co-Owner of the parlor is the EXACT opposite of Satin in every way possible. She is a loud short temper person, and Satin is a quiet patient person, and her BRIGHT red hair just screams anger and rage.

She placed her bags next to her chair before walking over to the shelf in the back of the room where the radio was.

She pulled her phone out her side pocket and grabbed the Aux cord "Uh you should turn down the volume on the radio Satin turned the volume up all the" I starting saying before the sound of her hardcore rock blasted thought the entire room.

Lily jumped out the chair and nearly hit the ceiling as Melissa "Jesus brother why was the music so loud" she said placing her phone on top of the radio and turning around to face me.

I rubbed my chin "because his music is so low you have to turn it all the way to hear it" I said as she sighed and walked to her station. She bent down and began pulling stuff out her backpack "Oh I like you outfit it's different," she said as I looked down.

I nodded "Thanks Melissa" I said walking over to my station. Last weekend I was shopping for some new clothes when I came across something. I was a white dress shirt with a blue stripped grey vest sitting on a mannequin. I admit the colors were not my taste but they looked amazing so I found one in red and black with a bow tie as well.

Therefore, I was wearing the black dress shirt and the red shirt with the black stripes going down. I had some black jeans nice burgundy boots just to complete the entire set.

Melissa was still getting ready when the sound of the bell rang again. I looked up and saw two boys walked in but I saw something blue behind them "Can you take care of our first customers today Gajeel I'm still not ready" she said as I walked up to the group.

I clapped my hands "Welcome to Satin Parlor my name is Gajeel Redfox how may I assist you today" I said as I noticed someone try to push through the two tall boys.

I looked down and noticed a small girl with blue hair standing in front me "Um I was wondering how much a tattoo of a book would cost on my right thigh" the voice said quietly.

I rubbed my chin again "Um a book on you right thigh should cost 2000 jewel" I said as the girl looked up at me with a smile. She nodded "Okay I would like that then" she said as I smiled. I looked at the boys "are you here for a tattoo or are you attending the young lady" I said as the boys looked at me and shook their heads.

I looked at the girl again "well may I ask you your name" I asked as my red eyes glowed in the light. She jumped up and twiddled your fingers "Um my name is Levy McGarden" she said softly. I could tell that she is nervous and it would make this tattoo hard to apply but it happens a lot in this place.

I pointed to the chair in the front of the parlor "Well you sit in the reception area gentlemen and Ms. McGarden come with me please" I said turning around and walking towards my booth. Levy walked behind me still twiddling her fingers "First time getting a Tattoo" I said as Levy looked up.

She noticed I wasn't looking at her so she spoke up "Well yes and I'm nervous" she said as I sighed and walked around the foot of the booth.

I looked to my right and my left "Well first timers are always nervous because people think tattoos hurt all the time but it's not that bad not sit and I will look for the tattoo book" I said turning around and pointing to the chair in front of me.

She looked at the chair and sat down straitening her orange skirt as I walked over to shelf behind him. Finding the book I needed I pulled it off the shelf and walked over to Levy.

I opened the book and flipped through until I found the tattoos of the books we could make "Well here are the selections pick one and we shall begin" I said handing the book to Levy.

She held the book in her arms and began looking at all the photos till she found one she liked "I want that one" she said turning the book around and pointing to number 87.

I smiled "that new never seen people pick that one but there is first for everything" I said picking up the book and taking the sheet out the book.

Number 87 is just a brown book with the word Script on the front of it. The book has a lock on it but is seems it cannot hold in the various color runes that are escaping the pages.

I flipped over the card and placed it a small monitor In front of me, enlarging the photo on the screen, before putting the picture back in its slot.

I closed the book and put in back in its right spot "You did say it was on your left tight correct" I said after walking back over. She nodded and I began playing with the monitor. A contraption above began to move towards her left leg making her shake "Don't worry it's just a projection lens that all but can you lift your skirt please I can't tattoo on cloth" I said as she looked at me.

I looked up at me slid up her skirt a little revealing her smooth leg "Perfect thanks I'm glad you're wearing that skirt it beats taking off your pants" I said turning on the projection.

I the projection of the tattoo appeared on your leg, showing you what it will look like on your skin, as he walked over to your thigh and pulled up a chair.

I grabbed the tray and moved it over to me before pulling out the tattoo gun and sliding the ink into the chamber before turning it on.

She jumped up at the sound of the high pitch whirring causing me to look up "It will sting for a bit but it won't hurt for long so take deep slow breaths for 5 seconds and you will be fine" I said as she looked at me.

She starts taking deep slow breaths as I started the tattoo. She felt the sting from the tattoo gun poking her skin in rapid succession but after she finished her final exhale the pain stopped and she didn't feel anything "Wow it didn't really hurt" she said in amazement.

I smiled "Yeah you picked a spot that doesn't hurt shortly after I get started" I said slowly tattooing her leg. She laid back and stared at the ceiling "So what brings you to this tattoo parlor you look like a person who wouldn't be seen here" I said as she looked at me.

Taking a deep breath she spoke up "Yeah I wouldn't be here but I lost a bet and I had to get a tattoo so here I am" she said before groaning. I didn't take my eyes off your work "But you're picking the tattoo normally the one who won gets to pick the tattoo" I said bluntly.

Levy looked at me "Correct but I managed to convinced them to let me pick because it always works" she said looking at the boys in the front of the room. I could see she was looking forward and since Mellissa was in front of me, I assumed she was looking at the boy in in the front.

Without thinking at all I decided to say something "Is one of those two boys your boyfriend" I asked as Levy blushed madly. When her blush calmed down she looked down at me "No there my best friends and guild mates from Fairy Tail" she said with a smile.

When she said Fairy Tail I stopped tattooing just to take my eyes off and look up at Levy "You're from Fairy Tail amazing", I said looking at her with my crimson red eyes. She blushed at my reaction "Yeah I am you know of Fairy Tail?" she asked as I nodded and went back to tattooing.

The slight prick from the gun made Levy bite her lip "Yeah since the Grand Magic Games how you all went from the bottom all the way to the top and becoming the number one guild again" I said holding back my excitement and finish her tattoo.

She smiled "every single wizard from Fairy Tail is powerful and are just amazing" I said finishing the black outline of the book. I replaced the black ink with brown ink and waited for the ink to dry with the help of the projector light. Once it was dry I began working on the brown part of the book as we talked about what happened at the Games.

An hour later, I finally finished her tattoo "there the final product take a look" I said pointing to the monitor to her left. She looked at it and smiled "It looked amazing thanks Gajeel" she said as I stood up and slid the gun in the rightful place before putting some Vaseline on her leg.

She squeaked when the cold jelly hit her leg but calmed down after a few seconds. I helped her out the seat and walked her to the front "Well your leg is a little numb but if you put Vaseline on it every morning for the next couple days the numbness will pass" I said as she nodded

I began ringing her up "also don't wear any clothes that will stick to your tattoo it will make it worse so keep wearing skirts" I said as Levy nodded again.

I smiled "that will be 2000 jewels" I said as Levy pulled out a small pouch and began to put the exact amount on the table. I took the money and slipped it into the reregister before the bell echoed throughout the parlor again.

I looked up as saw eight people walk into the parlor obviously up to no good. They were wearing black and red and the only thing that was showing was there arms. My eyes scanned the men and I noticed a symbol on their arms. It was partially covered but it looked like the bottom half of heart to me 'Is that a guild symbol ' I thought to myself as one of the eight pushed Levy aside and leaned over the desk "Hello sir how may I help you" I said as Jet and Droy helped her up.

The man was about to say something when Jet spoke up "Hey that not right you didn't need to push Levy down" Jet said as I gulped. The man turned around and walked over to Jet with an evil look in his eyes.

Without warning, the man fist came out and punched jet into the wall behind him with great force. Jet hit the door and slid down. Levy and Droy ran over and Levy looked at me. I shook my head and mouthed the words 'Stay put' as the man walked back over to me.

Lily and Melissa were about to jump in but I put my hand up stopping them from moving. The man looked at "as I was saying before the noddle interrupted me was how can I help you" he said before trying to reach for my neck.

Without thinking I swatted his hand down hard on the desk below making the man wince in pain "Unless you're here for a tattoo or piercing you should leave" I said with a serious look in his eyes.

The man began laughing and turned around "Look at this man things he wall tough and shit well I got a surprise for you buddy" the man said before turning back around with amazing speed right for my forehead.

I didn't dodge the attack I just took it proudly. The sound bone hitting metal echoed through the parlor followed by the sound of the man screaming in pain. I walked around the counter at the man in pain as he tried to swing another punch.

I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me wrapping his body around my back before throwing him on the ground with a loud thud. The man cried out in pain and began rolling around "I will repeat myself one last time if you're not here to get a tattoo or piercing then you should leave" I said as the other 7 men growled.

The all began pulling out knives and pipes before charging at me on after another. Levy and the others carried Jet out of harm's way as the battle began. The first one charged at me with a knife at full force. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards me.

In one swift motion, I threw the man back at the other goons, making sure not to touch the reception desk, knocking most of the over. Two missed my attack and came at me from both sides keeping up with each other.

The man with the knife tried to go for my head but I moved my head out the way before grabbing his hand hard. He groaned in pain and dropped the knife as the other thug charged at me.

He swung the rusted pipe in this hand, left and I ducked making him hit the other thug straight in the head knocking him out.

I dropped the unconscious man on the ground before moving under the pipe and grabbing it. I pulled it from his hand before grabbing this head and bringing it down on my knee. I flipped him over and slammed him on the ground before standing up.

I looked at Levy and the other and I could see she was saying something 'Turn around" I thought before turning around to see a knife going straight for the back of my head. I moved my head out the way, making the knife wizz pass my head cutting my cheek, and turned my attention to the man who threw it.

The sound of Levy voice diverted my attention away from the man and to the back of the room. The knife that passed me was going straight for Levy and no one us were close enough to stop it. My hand turned grey and I swung it around throwing a small piece of metal to intercept the knife.

It hit the hit of the knife and changed it course from her head to the ceiling above. My hand turned back to normal, before anyone could see it, before feeling a sharp pain in the right shoulder. I looked behind me to see a knife in my shoulder.

The adrenaline from that last minute save shut off and the pain from the knife bought me to my knees.

The other men, who I left under that man I threw, got back up and walked over to me "Make sure he suffers for what he did" the man with the broken hand said.

I tried to get back up but it was hard with one arm but I kept trying. I felt the cold rusted metal pipe hit my back hard causing me to fall down again.

Each second that passed the more, I felt more of the cold pipes hit my back repeatedly.

Soon the beating stopped and I felt the knife being pulled out my skin followed by footsteps but I couldn't make out what was going on because of my ringing ears.

I could see colored outlines both big and small and could make out who was who.

Lily was in front of me Melissa was to my right and Levy was to my left.

I slowly felt what was left of my energy leave me causing me to close my eyes slowly.

I opened my eyes to find myself not on the floor but in a hospital bed. I rubbed my eyes to remove the sleep from my eyes and noticed I couldn't move my arm that much. I looked down and noticed that they were bandages on my entire right shoulder.

I sighed and looked around to notice there were flowers and balloons everywhere 'Something tells me this has Satin written all over it' I thought to myself as the door opened. A nurse stepped in and saw me sitting up "Oh your awake Mr. Redfox" the nurse said in a sweet voice walking over to me.

I looked at her "So care to tell me why am I here" I asked as the nurse placed her hand on my forehead. She pulled away "Well you were stabbed in the shoulder by a knife and beat to near death by rusted metal pipes a few months ago by a dark gang called the lost" she said with a smile.

I looked at her amazed "Wait an entire month I've been out for an entire month" I said with alarm in my voice. The nurse nodded "Yeah you lost a lot of blood from the knife and since no one has blood with that much iron in it we had to recreate that blood and get it in your system" she said as I sighed.

I looked away 'figures one of the many perks of being a dragon slayer your ONE of a kind' I thought to myself and groaned. The nurse held her clipboard to her lips "care to tell me why there so much iron in your blood sir" she asked as I looked at her. I took a deep breath "it runs in the family we all have high concentrations of iron in our blood," I said at the nurse cocked her head to the side.

She gave me a 'Your lying look' and I groaned, "Keeping the fact that you're a dragon slayer a secret from people aren't you but why" she asked as I looked at her. I shook my head "Because where I grew up I was hated for being a dragon slayer because well my village respected dragons so I assumed it applied to everyone" I said as the nurse scoffed.

She sat on the edge of my bed "No here we respect dragon slayers don't believe me go to Fairy Tail" she said as I looked at her before looking away. I looked back at her "I heard that there are two dragon slayers in that guild" I said as she lifted three fingers. I opened my eyes wide "Wait there three of them oh my" I said as she nodded.

The doctor walked in "Oh your awake Mr. Redfox how are you feeling," he asked as the nurse hopped off the bed. I moved my left arm "little stiff because of this bandage on my arm when will I be able to take this off" I asked as the doctor chucked and walked over to me.

He poked me in the back where the knife stabbed me and I winched in pain "Well we discharge you it's coming off but you do have to wear a shoulder guard to prevent any other damage" the doctor said pulling his hand away from his back.

I looked at him "Which will be?" I asked as the doctor wrote something down on his clipboard. He looked up "Oh in a next few hours were just waiting for some results on some tests we took that all" he said as I nodded.

I laid my back on the bed and looked to my left at all the flowers and balloon's but the thing that stood out the most was two cards "Excuse me but can you hand my those cards over there" I asked the nurse pointing to the cards. She walked over to where the all the presents were and pulled the cards out "here you go" she said handing the cards to me.

One smelled like the ink from his job but the other one smelled like oranges and he couldn't fathom who smelled like that. He opened the orange smelling one first and saw who it was from 'It's a letter from Levy' I thought to myself as I read her note it in my head.

Dear Gajeel,

Hello Gajeel its Levy you know the one who you did that awesome tattoo for a month ago. I never got to say thank you for it well I'm saying it now Thank you and sorry. It feel like it was my fault you got beat down to near death and it has been eating at me for a week now and telling you this just helped me out a lot. I hope you get well soon and we could see each other around…Dragon Slayer

Sincerely

Levy Mcgarden

My Jaw dropped 'Holy shit she knows how did she found out' I thought before placing the letter down and grabbing the other one from his job. I opened the letter and the smell of Melissa strawberry parchment paper hit my nose. I sighed and opened the envelope reading it.

Deal Gajeel,

Thanks for protecting the Salon from those goons but I'm sorry those men were here for me. I didn't think they would find me I never told them where I worked. A few years ago we were in a pickle since are mother death so to make ends meet I made a loan out to some bad people and been trying to pay them back. Well I been missing a few payments and as a result they have been messing with my family. Sorry for dragging you down but they will be back and I don't want this to happen again. So I won't be at the Parlor anymore it's for the best. Goodbye Gajeel it's been fun

Sincerely

Your good friend Melissa Mist

I sighed and put the letter back in the envelope before sitting it next to the one Levy wrote "Its going to suck without you Melissa but I know there is no way to change your mind" I said laying back on the bed and looking out the window before passing out.

A few hours later, the same nurse came back in with some papers. I of course signed them all and handed them back to her. She walked out and a few minutes later came back in with some scissors and a shoulder guard.

She cut my bandages off and snapped the shoulder guard to my arm. She pressed a button on the guard and it clamped on my shoulder, making me wince in pain, before she pulled away.

A red light appeared on the guard "Keep this shoulder guard on till the light turns green it will restrict your movement and will get tighter the more you pull at it so don't try it" she said as I groaned.

I moved my arm up, gaging how far I can move my arm, and stopped at a 45-degree angle 'at least I can reach for stuff now' I thought putting my arm down. The nurse helped me out the hospital bed and waited patiently as I got dressed.

I walked out the bathroom wearing my outfit and noticed the nurse was giving me a lustful look. I sighed and walked out the room and headed downstairs. I walked thought the revolving door and looked around, trying to find out where I was, before walking to the right down the dimly lit street.

I looked up and noticed the sun was descending over the buildings to my left "I need to get home before it gets dark" I said before picking up the pace. I arrived at my apartment and made my way to the second floor yawning slightly.

I pulled out my key and opened the door to hear the sounds of the TV coming from the living room 'I guess Lily is watching TV' I thought walking into the living room.

To my surprise Lily wasn't there but Melissa was laying on the couch sleeping soundly her red hair was sprawled out on the black couch the constantly flashing lights from the TV gave her face a variety of different colors.

I sighed 'Couldn't sleep in your own bed could you' I thought getting down on my hand and knees in front of her. I moved her hair from in front of her eyes before flipping her over and picking her up. She stirred in my arms but didn't wake as I walked into the guest room.

I opened the door with my hip and placed her down on the bed before pulling the covers from under her body. I pulled them over body before walking out the room closing the door behind me 'I should go to bed' I thought yawning again.

I walked into my bed room, after going to the living room to turn off the TV, and began undressing. I threw the clothes on a hanger and put them in my closet before putting on the black pajama pants.

Using the blue Moonlight I found where Lily was on the bed before getting under the covers. Normally I would wake him up but I didn't want to bother him. I laid my head on my pillow and closed my eyes falling asleep.

Well that is the end of chapter one. Now you know how Levy and Gajeel met. The reason why I mentioned it because it ties into the rest of the story.

Well here is the new chapter. Those goons are apart of the story. They are apart of a bigger darker guild which remains unknown. I will reveal their name when the time is right.

That is all for this chapter turn into chapter two for some other things.

Wynter out
