Levy: yeah so here the story :)

Someone was staring at the Blonde celestial mage as she headed towards the guild Fairy Tail. Little did she know that someone was none other than her partner Natsu Dragneel the fire dragon-slayer who was watching his partner cautiously. After the whole kidnapping from Dragon Incident, he has been making sure no one else was trying to capture her. He sigh a breath of relief and headed toward the guild to enjoy another day of celebration after the Grand Magic games.

Once he arrived in the guild he saw his team seating in their usual spot discussing about a mission. When he came near he heard Lucy say " why do I have to be the bait?" which made him wonder what this mission was.

"Hey guys," said Natsu as he sat next to Lucy and grinned. She gave him an annoyed look, but still smiled at him. Which made him confused over his favorite blonde.

"Natsu, do you think I should be bait for this mission?" asked Lucy as she held up the paper. Natsu read through it and his eyes widen when he understood why Lucy complained about being bait.

"Well, I don't think it will hurt Luce. Remember when you were bait for Everlue," replied Natsu as Lucy began to get angry over the fact she was always used as bait.

"Lucy, I understand you don't like it, but it's the only way," said Gray as he put his hand over Lucy's which cause Natsu to glare at him and Juvia to scare Lucy with her love rival sayings.

"Besides did't you say Levy is joining us. This job can be perfect for you two to be bait," said Erza as she began to formulate a plan.

"Fine, but promise me nothing bad is going to happen or else I'll make Natsu and Gray regret having kids," said Lucy as Natsu and Gray shivered in fear of what she might do to them.

"Come on Lu, they are going to save us regardless. I mean no one lives anyone behind," said Levy as she appeared to sit next to Lucy.

"Well, if Shrimp is going then I'm going as well," said Gajeel as he appeared behind Levy which surprised everyone of what he said. Levy looked up to flash him a smile and looked to the others who nodded he can join them on this mission.

"Alright looks like things are settled," said Erza as she went to go inform Master about their plan.

"Wait, why do you have to be here, Metal Head?" questioned Natsu as he looked at Gajeel.

"None of your business, Fire Head," retorted Gajeel annoyed.

"What did you say, Iron Breath," said Natsu angrily as he stood in front of Gajeel.

"Mind your own business, Fire Breath," said Gajeel angrily as he faced Natsu.

"Natsu that's enough leave Gajeel alone. Sorry Gajeel, come on Natsu," said Lucy as she grabbed Natsu and left the guild.

"Gajeel that's enough don't irritate Natsu. Sorry Natsu, come on Gajeel," said Levy as she grabbed Gajeel and left the guild in the opposite direction of where Lucy and Natsu went.

Everyone looked surprise to see both partners dragging the other away from each other. Erza, Gray, Wendy, and Juvia wondered what just happened here. While Mira was smiling about how good those couples could be if only the guys weren't dense and notice their partner's feelings. She sigh and looked to see Juvia engaged in another conversation with Gray without blushing or stammering with her words. When will these guys learn to open their eyes to see things clearly.

"Lucy, what was that for," complained Natsu as they arrived near the lake where they usual fish.

"You shouldn't question people like that. Gajeel just wanted to go to make sure Levy is alright," explained Lucy while scolding him for not understanding the situation.

Natsu huffed at what Lucy was saying, but was interested to know if Gajeel truly had feelings for their little bookworm. While Lucy continues to lecture him, he notices how beautiful she looks today as his eyes linger on her body. He noticed how she wasn't wearing much make-up just lip gloss and mascara with her own cheeks tint in red after running out of the guild. Her curves fitted her well with the outfit she usually wears, but he couldn't help look her up and down. What the heck is wrong with me thought Natsu as he realizes what he has been doing this whole time.

"Natsu!" yelled Lucy as she shocked him out of his thoughts.

"Sheesh, Lucy you know I have sensitive hearing," complained Natsu as he flinched from her voice.

"Well then you should have paid attention. What were you thinking of," asked Lucy as she neared herself to Natsu's face to interrogate him.

Natsu held his breath as she was so close to him that he would have lean in and kiss her endlessly. Wait Kiss Lucy? My best friend thought Natsu. His face flushed a little and he hoped Lucy didn't notice. Lucy was just staring him down until he talk not even noticing how uncomfortable Natsu was.

" I was thinking of food..no i mean about Gajeel," said Natsu hesitantly which made Lucy raise an eyebrow.

"Oh really... then why did you hesitate to answer," questioned Lucy which made Natsu want to leave before he noticed that she had him against a tree. She ignored the fact that this would look so awkward if she did this in town or at the guild, but lucky no one was here near the lake.

"Because you're invading my space," answered Natsu as he didn't want to mention the fact he was enjoying her cross his space.

"Then you know how Gajeel felt, when you did this to him," smiled Lucy as she patted his head and gave him space.

Natsu just looked down at the ground embarrassed that he liked the way Lucy would question him instead of anyone else. Lucy thought he was disappointed that he didn't want to look at her which made her feel sad since she developed feelings for the dense dragon-slayer. So she came up to him and hugged him which he instantly wrapped him his arms around her waist clutching her toward him. I don't want to let her go, but it would feel awkward for her. I guess this is what Mira talks about being in love thought Natsu as he lightly let go of Lucy and dragged her back to the guild with a bright warm smile that took his breath away.

"Hey Shrimp, where exactly are we going?" asked Gajeel as he was surprised that the little bookworm can actually drag him.

"Gajeel, why do you like irritating Natsu? He just want to know what you're up to and he trust you not to hurt our family," said Levy as she looked up at him with questioning eyes.

"It's not his business to stick his nose into anything I do and you either," snapped Gajeel as he realized his words might have of hurt Levy.

They didn't actually hurt her more like angered her as she began yelling at him until he reminded her of his sensitive dragon hearing. She continued to lecture him while his eyes roam around her petite figure. He noticed how she doesn't wear any make-up and that her natural beauty showed. How her outfit suited her well and her eyes seem to trap him in a... what the hell am I thinking this is Levy! She's someone who I think needs protecting. Maybe Salamander's stupidness is contagious thought Gajeel.

"What are you thinking now?" questioned Levy as she waved her hand in front of his face to get his attention which surprised him.

"Nothing, why are you questioning me now?" questioned Gajeel at Levy but Levy just sigh and stood in front of him.

She slapped him which pissed him off right away. "What the hell was that for Shrimp," yelled Gajeel but Levy didn't fazed under his temper.

"How do you feel," asked Levy as Gajeel couldn't believe she wasn't afraid of him.

"I feel...I feel... damn it what was that word," complained Gajeel. Maybe Salamander's stupidness is rubbing off of me thought Gajeel.

"Irritated" said Levy as Gajeel said "Exactly," which he realize she just did this on purpose to get him to understand how Salamander felt. He looked down embarrassed that Levy was not only beautiful but intelligent as well. Levy thought Gajeel was probably being stubborn about being out smarted by her. So she went up to him and hugged him which he was shocked but recovered to bury her in his chest. He liked the way she smelled of fresh lilies that just blossomed with a tint of scent from the books she's read. He was glad that Levy understood him well even though everyone was shocked to see him help out the guild. Only Lily and Levy seem to see him for who he really is and he regret hurting her that day Phantom ordered him to hurt fairies in order to get Makarov. Levy noticed his expression and hugged him tightly and kiss him on the cheek which brought him back.

"Hey Gajeel, if there's anything you need to talk about, then come to me about it," smiled Levy cheering up the iron dragon-slayer.

"Sure thing L-Shrimp," said Gajeel as he let go of Levy and grabbed her hand dragging her back to the guild with his face flushed. Levy flashed him her breath-taking smiles which made him lose his breath. Damn now Mira the one who influence me about being in love with Shrimp. But I don't really mind thought Gajeel.

So everyone came to discuss the mission and how things are going with a plan.

Here's the mission:

Help! Need wizards to attend a ball to get rid of the bandits that are after my lovely daughters. Note: All they know is my daughters hair color and chest sizes. Blonde with a big chest and a blue haired girl with a small chest. Their features don't have to matter. Payment: 1,000,000 jewels

"Why do I feel like this is making me want to push the client into a dark hole," said Levy darkly as she re-read the mission paper again with a depressing sigh.

"Levy, don't be hard on yourself. I hate mission like these," said Lucy depressed as she realized that there was no getting out of this.

"Now now you two ladies have to get your act into this or else everything will fall apart," said Erza as the girls sigh again.

The guys sent the girls sympathetic looks since they were only there to protect them and the client's daughters. Wendy couldn't come due to a flu and Carla wouldn't go unless Wendy went. So they took Levy as Wendy substitute for the mission which she now envied Wendy for not attending. As they arrived, the client was a good-looking man who seemed to know about Lucy when her father was alive. He explained about where his daughters are going to be during the duration of the ball. The daughters were absolute beauties that seem to be fond of Natsu and Gajeel sadly they ignored them. Which to Levy and Lucy's surprise but secretly glad they didn't respond to their attempts. The two dragon-slayers only had their eyes set out on the two girls that were going to be baits. They sigh and looked at each other with a nod that they needed to discuss matters.

So how did you like it? And I'll try to finish this as well but you know the certain things in life that keep you busy : school -sigh-

tune into hear the discussion between the dense dragon-slayers :) hope to write to you soon
