Hi Guys, this is the second Chapter to my Fanfiction the Dragon and the Fairy. I'm sorry it is taking so long, hopefully this chapter is a bit better than the last. Please enjoy.

Gajeel's P.O.V
"Don't worry Levy, I'll be fine." I told her, trying to give her confidence. Her body started shivering, her mouth moved as if she needed to say something, though no sound was heard. I looked into her Hazel eyes, they glimmered in the sun. I noticed tears starting to form in her eyes. She was crying but she had a small smile on her face. "Levy? What's wrong?"

"Gajeel, I'm sorry." That instant everything changed. I saw her body launch in front of mine. I saw the swords of the two bandits cut through her skin. I saw her body fall to the ground limp. The smile still on her face.

"LEVY!" I screamed. The bandits were grinning from what they had done. I looked down at Levy, there were two large gashes in her body. A large puddle of her blood surrounded her.

"Hey Watari, looks like the little squirt is still breathing, care to finish her off?" He motioned his arm at her body, acting like she was just a piece trash.
"Gladly" He replied, he began raising his sword above his head, laughing like a lunatic. I stepped over Levy's body.

"You so much as touch her, I will kill you."

"How about I begin with you then?" The bandit brought his sword down towards me. He sliced through my skin but I could not feel any pain. His quick slashing speed soon took a toll on him. I grabbed the sword with my hand and crushed it, the shattered blade dropping onto the ground. Before he could realise what had happened I sent my fist flying into his temple, knocking him out unconscious. The bandit named Watari stared at me in shock.

"P-please don't hurt m-me, I p-promise I won't hurt your f-friend an-anymore!" His body was shaking uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.

"But you already have hurt her, and you can't take that away." My eyes pierced into his own, my breathing unsteady, shaking with anger. He turned to run away but I grabbed his throat and pinned him against the wall. "How about I take away your life, I'm sure you will understand. It's just fair." He screamed for help, but no one came to his aid. I pulled him back and smashed his skull into the wall, leaving him unconscious. His body crumpled against the ground. I looked at my arms and chest, they were covered in blood. The other bandit ripped through my skin. I was injured badly. But I wasn't focused on my own problems, I turned and ran to Levy. "Levy! Levy wake up! Levy don't leave me! Levy!" Her face slowly moved and her eyes slightly opened.

"Ga-Gajeel" Her eyes closed and her body became suddenly limp. I tried to pick her up, but her body was very cold. Her skin as pale as the sickness that promised death.

"Help! Somebody! Anybody!" but the town was still quiet. I looked around for something she could use. I saw the Dad and daughter behind me. He had a small gauze around his arm. I ran off looking in the houses for anything that would help. I found bandages and water in one of the buildings. I hurried back and poured water on her wounds, hoping that it would help to clean them. I used to gauze to wrap her wounds tightly to stop the blood leaving her body. Her temperature kept dropping. I took off my Jacket and slowly dressed her. I carefully picked up Levy, she was as frail and felt like she could fall apart at any moment. I held her against my bare chest any ran off carrying her in my arms. She was light. Her blue hair brushed past my nose as I ran, the scent of books was easily picked up from my sense of smell. I reached the exit of Mandolus and kept running.

I didn't stop running. I knew if I didn't run, Levy would die. The blood had stopped flowing out of her body but her temperature did not raise.

"Ga-Gajeel," I looked down to see her looking up at me. "Y-You're h-hurt." She said faintly, as if it took all her energy. I shook my head and looked down at her.

"Just rest shrimp." She shifted her weight and wrapped her arms around my body. It was, nice. I kept running. Dark clouds started forming in the sky. Shit I thought to myself. Levy won't survive being wet. To our luck we found a small town, I didn't bother reading the sign. I needed to find somewhere dry. I hunched over trying to shield Levy from the downpour. I found a small hotel centred in the middle. I ran up to the desk.

"Please you have to help us, please! My friend has been terribly wounded, does this town have a medical centre or anything?"

"Im sorry but this town does not hold anything like that." The concierge replied. "We may be able to gather medicinal supplies and give you a room for the night, unfortunately you will have to pay for the room. I am very sorry." I threw 10 thousand jewel on the desk.

"Please just give us a room." I pleaded. He handed me a key and told me someone will bring up supplies soon. I hurried up the room.

I didn't take much notice of the room, I needed to help Levy. I carefully placed Levy on the bed and ran into the bathroom. I turned the hot water on to warm up the room for Levy. There was a knock at the door, it was a lady carrying a first aid kit. I thanked her and she walked off. I carried Levy into the bathroom. I needed to clean her wounds properly. I needed to undress her. I took off the jacket and bandages but hesitated.

"Gajeel, it's ok." I nodded and started to take off her clothes. They were unusable, they were torn and shredded and soaked in blood. I tossed them to the side of the room. I looked at her wounds, they were not as deep as I expected. I coated the wounds with disinfectant. She screamed when the chemicals made contact. I kept going. After the wounds were cleaned I wrapped a towel around her naked body and placed her in the baths water. Her body temperature started to rise and she was gaining her strength back. She was going to live. Tears started to form in my eyes. "Gajeel, are you feeling alright?"

"I'm just glad you're safe Levy" My body shivered, it was very cold.

"Gajeel, get in. You're hurt too and shivering won't heal you, you are going to get sick if you get too cold." I looked at her and she giggled.

"As friends?" I asked.

"Of course." The bath was big, big enough to hold me and her. But I paused, I wanted to get in with her but I didn't know what to do.

"Please?" She asked.

"Ok," I whispered gently, "I will."

I took off my pants and was about to take off my undergarments when I realized Levy was behind me. Watching. My face started heating up. "Um, do you, can you turn around?"

She was blushing and turned away. I finished undressing myself and stood in the bathroom naked. I wrapped a towel around my waist and slowly crept in the bath. The water was warm, it reminded me of the hot springs back in Magnolia. "Is it too hot?" I asked. She turned around and shook her head. Our legs were brushing against each other in the bath. She was blushing just as much as me.

"Gajeel, let me help you."

"Levy I'm fine, just worry about yourse..."

"No Gajeel you're not fine! Your wounds look terrible, stop worrying about me and let me help you!" Her face started pinching, and her eyes started to swell up.

"O-ok" I moved closer to her body. The started washing my wounds. Her touch was so gentle, I could barely feel it. Our faces were nearly touching. I kept staring at her, but she didn't take notice. Her focus was on helping me. A strand of her blue hair fell over her face. With one finger I gently tucked it back behind her ear. She giggled. She continued wrapping my body in bandages until no wounds were left seen.

"Levy I, uh," I started, "I can't thank you enou..."

"Gajeel, it's ok." We didn't say anything for the rest of the bath, we just stared at each other. After an hour I decided to go get us dinner. I hopped out of the bath slowly, trying not to disturb the water too much. "Can you um, turn around again?" She nodded and I got dressed. My clothes were covered in her blood so I couldn't use them. I walked around the room in my underwear until I found robes. I placed one in the bathroom for her.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"I'm going to go get us some food ok, I'll be back later." I called out and walked out the door, my hand raised in the air, giving a waving gesture.

Levy's P.O.V

I watched Gajeel's hand raise. His shoulder muscles tensing, and smiling in his goofy yet sexy smile. The water was getting cold. I painfully crawled out of the bath. I got out of the bath slowly, in fear of my wounds opening again. I looked at the bandages covering my upper body. I would be dead if Gajeel hadn't helped me now. The robes were warm on my bare skin. I looked around our room. Although it was small it was luxurious, carpet floors, leather sofas and a breath-taking view of the town. I looked around for a bed, it was big, big enough to hold us both. I smiled. A night in bed with Gajeel,I thought. The picture of us sleeping in the same bed together made me blush. "If only you knew Gajeel."

"If only I knew what?" I turned around to see Gajeel standing in the doorway holding plastic bags filled with food. A slight giggle escaped my mouth. A man who had just singlehandedly fought off two bandits and was covered in bandages from cuts and wounds, was now standing in nothing but his underwear and a white robe.

"What's so funny?" He asked. His voice was so masculine that him being in a robe made me laugh more.

"The robe, I-it looks funny on you." I laughed. "It doesn't suit your masculinity."

"If it's bothering you, I'll just take it off." He started taking off the robe by untying the strap that held it together. He soon through the robe to the side, standing with nothing but tight underwear, smirking. "Bette..."

"Gajeel! Put your clothes back on!" I squealed. "I said it didn't suit you, not it bothered me!" I went and picked up his robe and threw it at him.

"It's too hot though," he complained "can't I just leave it?"

"Uh-um, ok, I guess its ok."

"Gi Hee." He lifted up the bags, "I didn't know what you like to eat, so I grabbed a bit of everything." He took the food over to the table and unpacked.

"Ga-Gajeel this is, a-amazing!" There was so much food. Sushi, steamed buns, meat, stir fry and so much more.

"Levy, if you don't like the food, its ok just don't eat it. I just grabbed everything. Don't worry about paying either, my treat." He looked at me and laughed. "I-is this ok? I can go get something else if you want." I turned and hugged him.

"Gajeel, this is perfect. Th-thank you for everything!" Tears started to well up in my eyes. He started patting my back.

"Levy eat up, it'll go cold soon." I nodded and started eating, the food was amazing. But I noticed Gajeel wasn't eating, he was just staring at me.

"Gajeel, why aren't you eating?"

"I'm just not hungry." I picked up a steam bun and told him to eat it. He shook his head.

"Gajeel you have to eat, you're going to starve." I shoved the steam bun in his mouth.

"Ra-Revy," he choked, I realized trying to eat a whole steam bun may be difficult. He chewing until he swallowed a while later. A large breath escaped his mouth.

"Levy! What are you doing?"

"I uh, I was trying to feed you."

"I almost choked to death!" I looked at my knees.

"I-I'm s-sorry." He reached his arm around my waist and pulled me into him so I was leaning against him.

"It's ok." He laughed and after that he didn't say anything, he just held me against his almost naked body.
