I will take some idea prompts as well. If anyone would like to offer me up some.

Chapter 2

Fear

Fear, it was the one thing Levy hated feeling. And Gajeel being at the Guild… it made her feel nothing but fear.

She forgave him, yes. But it did not mean she was not terrified of him. She knew he could smell it, just as easily as Natsu could. Which she knew he did when his dark eyes glanced over at her as she cowered slightly.

It started another fight, nothing too major, just verbal battle for now.

It wasn't until they went outside, her arm being pulled along by Jet. She knew true fear because of the one person she had once trusted the most… Laxus.

Gajeel had tried to let her teammates take out their anger and fear on him, and she did not doubt he wanted her to do the same. Until… Laxus came and took it too far.

Her eyes met Gajeel's crimson ones, and he knew in that moment her increased trembling was not because of him. It was because of Laxus. He was unsure if it was for him, or because Laxus just scared her.

In reality, it was both.

"Laxus! Big brother Laxus!" The small bluenette ran up to the taller blonde male. The girl had saw he was upset and just wanted to cheer him up, like he always did for her.

"Don't call me that!" He snapped at the girl. Her eyes widening slightly.

"But…"

"I'm not your big brother. I'm not even your family." He sneered at the small girl. He was just so angry with his grandfather, he kicked out his father. His fingers twitching, he wanted to go on a mission and hit something. He just wanted to hurt somebody, but she was the one that took his attention and would now take his anger.

To her, it never mattered. She had been found by Laxus when she was five. The poor girl had been beaten and abandoned on the side of a road. The ten-year-old boy had been going on his first mission when he found her. He carried her with him to his mission, cared for her... and when the mission was over, he introduced her to Fairy Tail.

"That isn't true!" Her cry caught the attention of many members of the Guild downstairs.

He was angry, and she didn't know if he meant to do it. The fifteen-year-old boy shoved the girl into the wall. Her tiny stature nothing compared to his as his arm pressed on her throat. And for once, in Fairy Tail, Levy had been scared for her life.

"Family means nothing, brat. Remember that. I am not your brother; I am not your family. You're a weak, pathetic excuse for a guild member." He growled.

Her body squirmed and kicked, her fingers clawing at his arm weakly. "I… can't breathe…!"

His eyes were dark with anger, but hearing her gasp and whimper, soft pleading through her lack of oxygen… he dropped her.

He had been so angry… he didn't mean to hurt her.

Her body trembled as she coughed and gasped for air. "L-Laxus…" Weakly her hand reached towards him.

"Don't touch me!" He yelled at her. His eyes watched as she yanked her arm back, her entire body trembling.

"I… don't care what you say… you're still my big brother, Laxus. I still love you. Because… I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for you." Her voice was so small.

He didn't look back. And he never tried to make up for it, but rather… whenever he got the chance, he made sure she remembered that event. It was his way to keep her away. And it sure as hell made sure others stayed away.

Mira had even attacked him when she found Levy sobbing up by Makarov's office. The she-demon had shot at the male and swiped her fingernails at his face. He had injured the fairy of the Guild.

Yet, no one told Makarov. All because Levy asked them not to... she still believed in him.

No one would trust him again, but her.

"That's enough Laxus!" Her scream was swallowed up by the sound of lightning and Gajeel's screams from being electrocuted.

He ignored her, but when Jet and Droy began telling him to stop, he swiped his arm. Throwing a bolt towards them… towards her.

This was her biggest fear, her reoccurring nightmare. Her eyes filled with tears as she braced herself…. But it never came.

"Gajeel!?" She gasped slightly. Her hand moving to reach towards him.

She watched his body tremble form the electricity pulsing through his muscles.

"You through with me now? Cause I got other things to do." His voice was softer than she'd ever heard. He took a lot from Laxus, even if Droy and Jet hadn't injured him… He took that blast of electricity for her.

She watched him walk away, her arm held to her chest. "Ah… Gajeel… I-!"

"Leave me alone…" His voice was rough as he walked away.

She moved to glance at Laxus. His eyes meeting hers, and no longer was the acceptance and never ending love she had offered. This time, her usual bright, honey colored eyes were ice cold.

He scoffed and turned to leave, he knew Jet and Droy were watching.

But Levy… she ignored him and ran after Gajeel.

"I can forgive you hurting me… but I won't forgive you for hurting Gajeel." She was speaking mainly to herself as she ran up to Gajeel. He tried to pull away from her, but the woman wouldn't have any of it. She had him bare part of his weight.

Gajeel had heard her angry words, this girl was so confusing. She let him lean on her, occasionally grunting when one of them moved too fast.

His muscles were still twitching slightly in his arm. He knew she could feel it with his arm over her shoulders, leaning into her slightly.

Silently, Gajeel vowed to never let her have that look of fear on her face.

And silently, Levy had gotten over her fear of Laxus, because now she felt anger towards her elder brother. Blood or not. He hurt her family. She wouldn't forgive him, not for a long time, if she ever did forgive him.

"You're pathetic, Laxus." The male chuckled to himself. His chuckle was cold and bitter. "You wanted her to stop believing in you, stop trusting in you. Now she has…"

His body was on a park bench, looking towards the blue sky. "Then why do I feel like I lost the last piece of my humanity?"

"Tch… all because I was afraid. I'm a fucking idiot." He cursed to himself, closing his eyes. Freed, Evergreen, and Bixlow would be joining him soon for his plan.

ShadowKurayami: Shorter than the first. But, I like where it was going.

Laxus seems like one to act before thinking. And after losing his dad, I have no doubt he'd take his anger out on anyone. And letting it fester leads up to the next events.

I don't know about Levy's past, and I am still getting through the anime and manga. I'm only getting to the end of the Key to the Starry Skies Arc / Infinity Clock Arc. So I know I am still pretty far behind.

If you'd vote for a paring, it would be wonderful.
