After deciding to end Everyday Lives, I think it'll be easier to find certain chapters this way. I hope you don't mind :)

Fairy Tail and it's characters belong to Hiro Mashima.

Summary: Levy has to help the new teacher get comfortable to the school. He helps her get comfortable to him.

It was the start of the a new school year in Magnolia. And Levy McGarden was one of the only people who was more excited today than on Christmas.

Levy teaches English at Fairy Tail High School. One of the top schools in the country. But really with how crazy the staff is there, who could blame them?

The Principal had been there since Levy was a child, Makarov Dryer. The school board keeps telling him he should retire, but he says he can't leave with all the idiots he has as teachers. And of course his Vice Principal, Erza Scarlet, is following his footsteps as one of the best.

Mirajane Strauss is the school secretary and guidance counselor. One of the nicest people Levy has ever met, but she is know for being a matchmaker which makes everyone try to avoid her around the holidays.

Then the teachers, Lucy Heartfilia is head of the math department. Gray Fullbuster is a master of physics and biology. Cana Alberona and Jellal Fernades are always arguing over their history agendas, which are pretty identical. Of course Levy leads the English and Literature staff.

But what makes the school really great is the athletic department. Juvia Lockser is coach of the swim team, shes practically a mermaid herself. Laxus Dryer coaches all the wrestling and fighting teams. Jet's track team have never lost at a meet. Bisca Connell made sharp shooting a major sport too. Natsu and Wendy have taken their baseball and softball teams all the way to nationals. And Loke's soccer team is always the talk of the town.

Unfortunately, the football team has been pretty depressing the last few years. Not one coach has lasted a season before they either quit or were forced to leave. Levy heard news that the new coach this year was also taking the freshman Literature class position. Which was odd to her, most football coaches are history or math teachers.

'Alright, I have to make a good impression on this guy for Makarov. We need to have a successful year this year for everyone. Plus it would really suck for us to loose a coach and teacher all in one,' Levy thought as she got out of her car in front of the school.

Walking down to the teachers lounge/work room, she overheard some cheers. She knew why too, Mira and Laxus had gotten engaged over the summer, something she heard about almost daily from Juvia, wondering if her beloved Gray would ever ask.

"Way to go man!" "Congrats!" "When's the engagement party gonna be?" Could all be heard in the hall. Levy giggled as she neared the room. Everyone on staff here were practically family. Natsu and Wendy are siblings. Laxus is the Principals grandson. And Mira's younger brother and sister are subs every now and then too.

"What a rowdy bunch."

This new voice startled Levy, it was so deep, almost as if he ate iron to make it sound like that. She turned around to find the owner of said voice. What she found she couldn't tell if she liked or didn't. He was much taller than her, probably the same height as Laxus. Long black hair, held back by a white and gray headband. Dark skin, his sleeves were rolled up she could see scars on his right arm. And he was covered in piercings. But he was dressed nice for someone Levy figured you would find in a tattoo shop. Freshly ironed dress pants and a dark purple dress shirt, a couple buttons were undone and you could see a black t-shirt underneath. His shirt almost looked too small, his arms were bulging.

"Um.." Levy was quite taken with him. It had been a long time since she laid eyes on someone so rugged, yet sexy to boot.

"Shorty, which way to the old mans office?" He turned his sharp gaze towards here, which gave her a good look at his amazing red eyes.

'Who is he calling a shorty?' She thought people were through with that nickname when she was in graduate school.

"Gajeel?" Levy turned around to see Wendy standing outside the lounge with a big smile on her face.

"Gihihi. Hey there pipsqueak." The man now known as Gajeel walked towards her as she threw herself at him

"Oh I've missed you! Morning Levy!" Wendy turned to her she let the man out of her embrace, "This is Gajeel! Mine and Natsu's older brother!"

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Levy McGarden," She smiled at the man, she had heard of the siblings elder brother but was under the impression he had joined the Marines after high school, it would explain the scars and piercings.

"Hn, you to shorty." His rude nature coming back out.

"I'll take you to see Makarov, come on!" Wendy started to lead the older man down the hall, beginning a conversation on their parents, Natsu, and everything that had been going on recently, Levy went on to the lounge.

"Levy!" A double dose of her name could be heard the moment she walked in. The track coach and one of the science teacher, Droy, had had major crushes on her since she started working here. She had to turn them both down weekly ever since.

"Hi boys! Hey Natsu," Levy turned away from her supposed suitors and headed to the living area of the room where Natsu was sitting with his long-time girlfriend, and her best friend, Lucy.

"Yo! What's happening Levy?"

"Hi Levy! Did you finish that book yet?"

"Oh not yet! I've been working on my lesson plans all week and never found time to pick it up. I'm almost done though! And as soon as I am we're going to see the movie!" Lucy and Levy met in their freshman year of college as roommates and bonded over their love of books.

"Fantastic! I can hardly wait!" Lucy jumped making Natsu almost spill his coffee, he loved her, but having hot coffee on you lap was not the best way to start off the new school year.

"Anyway, Natsu, I just ran into your brother in the hall, Wendy is taking him to see Makarov, is he going to work here or something?" Levy asked as she got her own coffee and sat in one of the many comfy chairs in the room.

"He's here already?! Aw man I wanted to show him around," he started pouting which Levy found adorable, it was obvious by that and how he and Wendy acted that they were a close family, "Yeah, he's the new football coach, and the Literature teacher."

Levy had to stare for a second to let that sink in. He looked the part of the coach for sure, rough exterior, hardened by the Marines, perfect. Literature..?

"Really?" Unsure of the new man in her own department.

"Don't worry, he may not look it, but he's got the brains to back it up. He went to college while in the Marines and was at the top of his class too. He got allot of offers to go teach as some universities, but he wanted to be closer to home," Natsu smiled at her, easing her worry.

"I agree with him Levy, I've only met him a few times myself, but just having conversations with him are really interesting. Oh! And he's a closet bookworm!" Lucy pointed out.

"I'll believe it when I see it, Lu." At that moment Gajeel, Wendy, and Makarov and Erza entered the room.

"Good morning you hooligans! Welcome back. Hope everyone had a good summer, I know my grandson did. Congratulations Laxus, Mira."

Mira blushed as everyone began cheering again. Laxus smirked and put his arm around her.

"Settle down." The scary VP straightened her glasses and glanced around the room to see if everyone was there, she stopped at the man who was head of the history department, but turned quickly away when he smiled at her, her face was the same color of her hair.

"Thank you, Erza," Makarov continued, "As you know we're getting a new football coach again this year, let me introduce Gajeel Redfox, taking over for us, he'll also be our freshman Literature teacher as well, give him a warm Fairy Tail welcome!"

Once again cheers were heard, it looked like some people knew Gajeel well, Natsu ran over and tried to embrace the man only to be put in head lock. Levy watched the scene play out fondly as Erza made her way over.

"Good morning Levy. I've got a copy of Gajeel's schooling background here for you." Erza handed her an impressive stack of papers. It was almost as tall as the one she made for herself.

"Wow, thanks Erza." Levy smiled up at her only to see her focus was again lost to the handsome history man.

"Just go over there and talk to him! We know you like him!" Lucy whispered to their friend. Erza and Jellal were childhood friends who Erza just found out last year that he's had a crush on her since middle school.

"W-well, I..I mean, sh-should I?" seeing the the strongest woman they know blush like a school girl because of boy made Levy and Lucy sequel. Before they could answer though Jellal had made his own decision.

"Good morning, Erza."

"Mo-morning, J-Jellal." Erza had been acting this was around Jellal since the Christmas party last year. He had been her secret Santa and had gotten her a gift card to Heart Kreuz, the most expensive clothing store anywhere, and a piece of mistletoe. She though it was a joke at first and tried to hand it to him only for him to kiss her, really kiss her.

Lucy and Levy watched them interact together for a bit, he was asking her if she wanted to go to lunch with him, his free period was right after, so they turned back to the dragon siblings and were shocked to see Natsu still in a head lock, being told to say 'uncle' or 'mercy'.

"No way you dummy!" Natsu's face was a light blue.

"Come on flame-brain, I'll let go if you say it!" Wendy was stuck between a rock and hard place. Wanting to help Natsu or laugh at him. Hard choice.

"Gajee!" The beautiful swim coach had just entered the room with Gray and was oddly excited to see the man.

"Hey there rain woman." Gajeel turned to her, not letting his little brother go just yet.

"Gajee?" Gray watched his girlfriend interact with a man he knew nothing about. He and Juvia had gone to the same university, he had seen her daily with her constant efforts to go out with him, he finally agreed on one date junior year to get her off his back only to fall for the girl. It was odd because he had never heard of this man.

Lucy had finally gotten up and convinced the new staff member to release the baseball coach before he passed out. Then Makarov pointed out that students would be arriving soon and everyone needed to go to their classrooms. Levy wasn't nervous about her students, she was however nervous about them meeting their new coach.

Of course, he'd obviously gotten the job a while ago, seeing as how most of the coaches knew him already and he had a football training schedule and line-up list in his hands. So how come Levy was just now meeting him?

"OK, Levy. Time to show off those great people skills Mira is always complementing'

Levy walked up to Gajeel who seemed to be waiting on something.

"Hi again, do you know the way to the Literature hall?" Levy saw the man jump a little in surprise.

"Hm? On the second floor right?" Fairy Tail is an outstanding school. It has three buildings. The first building is the Academic Building, it has three floors. The first floor is where all the offices, Library, computer labs, and cafeteria are. The second floor is where the Literature and history classes are. And the third floor is for math and science. Building two is where the elective classes are. Art, Music, etc. The third building is the the Athletic department. All the fields are behind the school. There is even an inside and outside pool. All regular gym classes are taken here too.

"Yes it is. It's kinda confusing though, I'm head of the Literature department, I can show you to your classroom if you'd like."

"Gihi, sure shrimp."

Levy has a feeling this was going to be a long year.
