Time Variance

Chapter Three:

Enough Wasting Time


Levy was curled up in her bed by the time the future Gajeel finished with Lucy. Her purple pajama clad form. Her hair was loose, free from any restraints. The tank top crept up on her stomach, while her legs were twisted around in her pants. Blankets haphazardly kicked off her body.

This is the sight the future version of Gajeel came in to see when he snuck in through the window.

He couldn't stop the half smirk on his face, seeing her like this. She was so damn cute.

After a few minutes he noticed a shift in her breathing, she was waking up/

"Nng… Stop watching me and just come into the bed and sleep." She mumbled, turning onto her side, groping around for a piece of the blanket. "It is freaking creepy, Gajeel."

He couldn't help but choke out a laugh. "Whatever you say, Shorty." He shrugged off his shirt and joined her in the bed. While it was uncomfortable with him keeping his distance. He didn't want to change time too much more than he and Lucy already were.

Suddenly he was met with an annoyed and sleepy gaze.

"Are you going to make this awkward and creepy?" She asked, her tone laced with annoyance at being woken up from him watching her.

He opened his mouth to say something.

"Not a freaking virgin, neither are you. Put your damn arms around me and stop making this uncomfortable for both of us Gajeel." She yawned and looked at him.

"Lev, I don't want to—."

"Change anything else. That's pretty obvious. Too late. 'm telling your younger self my feelings after tomorrow. I have no doubt he'll win." She mumbled, scooting closer to the man. Her hand gently brushed his bare chest.

Maybe she should have been embarrassed, scared, nervous or something, but she wasn't. Blame it on being sleepy, but she wanted to stop wasting time, especially if his future happened.

"If dragons do attack… I don't want to waste time. You said it took my other self nearly dying for you two to confess… I don't want it to come to that."

Her honesty and how much she obviously wanted him made his heart both ache and swell. This was what he and his Levy missed out on. They were too afraid and so sure they would have all the time in the world before the dragons attacked…

His hand cupped her cheek. Why did they wait so damn long? "Sorry…"

"For wh—?"

Her question was silenced by a rough pair of lips. He couldn't help himself. He knew this Levy wasn't his to hold, to touch, to kiss…. To desire, but he wanted her so damn much.

She was his treasure, something for him to steal and hide away. Her scent, so rich and mingled with his own.

His tongue forced into her mouth, tasting her. Her tongue moved against his, shy yet willing. His hand moved into her cornflower locks, gripping them hard as he pressed into the kiss more.

He felt her trembling against him, whether out of surprise, excitement, or fear, he didn't know at the moment. He was drowning in her scent of honeysuckle and vanilla, smothered in paper and ink.

Soon, hands pressed on his chest and she pulled away, his fingers still entangled in her hair, her cheeks flushed and eyes half lidded. He watched as her chest heaved slightly to catch her breath.

".. Don't make him wait…" The sight of her like that was too much. She wasn't his to touch like this!

"Gaj…"

"Go. Don't wait till tomorrow. Go, right now, Levy." He growled lightly. "Because… they come tomorrow night. Don't wait like I did… like I so stupidly did… Just don't tell him I'm here."

She looked at him and quietly nodded. She understood what he was doing, and while she wanted to stay, she knew it was better if she didn't.

"Gajeel…" She leaned up, pressing herself against him and a small kiss was pressed to his lips. "I love you, Gajeel. The version I have grown with here, and you." She smiled lightly and slowly got up.

Crimson eyes watched as she slipped on her shoes and his sensitive hearing heard her go down the hall to his younger self's room.

Eyes moved to the ceiling. Pulling a worn ribbon from his pocket, the same ribbon Levy had on her nightstand, just older.

"I know…" He sighed, looking at the worn yellow ribbon with a black diamond pattern. "I miss you, Lev… Hopefully, I'll get to come back soon and everything will be okay." He closed his eyes, fist tightening around the ribbon.


Levy was quietly knocking on the door. Despite the rules of team members sharing a room, Gajeel didn't listen. It would be bad enough having Gray and Juvia in a room together, but then adding Natsu, Erza, and Laxus.

Both Laxus and Gajeel couldn't get out of the room fast enough.

"Fuck you want?" Gajeel's voice was rough, yanking the door open. Unlike his older self in her hotel room, this Gajeel forewent pants. "Shrimp, do you know what time it is?"

Levy was blushing but she couldn't help but stay quiet.

"Fuck, Shrimp. Come on. You'd have a nightmare, 'r somethin'?" He asked, tugging the girl into his room, shutting and locking the door behind him.

She shook her head and moved to place her hands on his chest, honeyed eyes looking up at him.

The way she was looking at him had him still. He knew in the back of his mind that she wanted him as much as he wanted her, but he never logically believed she could want him. Not after everything he did to her.

"Levy..?"

Him using her name broke her still state. Her fingers moved up from his check, not breaking the skin contact as she moved to lace her fingers behind his neck, lightly tugging him down as she leaned up on her tip toes.

It didn't take much coaxing for Gajeel to move with her tugging, but when she pressed her lips to his, all thought went out the damned window. Arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer.

"I love you, Gajeel."

She said it. She fucking said it. And it felt great to get off her chest.

Games be damned, Fairy Tail be damned, everything be fucking damned. He wasn't going to get any sleep any time soon and he didn't fucking want to right now.

He didn't hesitate in moving to the bed with her. His lips meeting hers again, the passionate kiss had both of their minds fuzzy. His body hovering over hers as they kissed. Tongues battling, teeth nipping, passionate, moan drawing kisses.

"Say it again." He growled against her lips, making a light giggle escape her.

She tugged on his hair a bit to have him pull away. To which he did reluctantly.

Her hand moved to his cheek. "I love you, Gajeel Redfox. I have been in love with you for a while… I don't know when it started for sure… but you are my… my everything."

The bold statement and her eyes never wavering from his.

She never needed him to make her big. She was already big. She had more damn balls then most of the guild and guy's he's faced.

"I'm a Dragon Slayer, Levy. Raised by a dragon. You better be damn sure you know what yer saying to me." He wanted to be sure.

"I'm positive. I'm more sure about you than my love for books." She cracked a smile. "I know it means I'm yours, only yours. I'm done being afraid of showing you what I feel."

He couldn't help but smile. Levy wanted him, despite everything he's done. Despite him being a selfish bastard, she wanted him.

"Good. 'm never lettin' you go." The words made her smile, she knew he wouldn't. The proof was his elder self.

"And I'll never let you go." She moved to kiss him again, her hands moving against his bare chest.

She felt his muscles ripple under her touch as she deepened the kiss. Her body arching up to him as he slipped one of his hands under her back.

"Ya gotta stop if ya wanna take this slow, Levy…" He growled, the light friction of her body arching up into him, her hips lifting to press into him.

"Gajeel, I came in here in the dead of the night, confessing I loved you. If I wanted to take it slow I would have waited more, or said I wanted to take it slow." Levy said lightly.

She knew exactly what would happen and if she wasn't okay with it, she wouldn't have come.

"I… I've never… ya know…" His face was flustered, a deep shade of red.

Levy lightly bit her lip. He was so cute when he was awkward and shy.

"I… I have. Is… is that okay?" Even if she knew it was more than likely okay, it would still be a sensitive topic to approach.

"Y-ya… just.. Never tell me who the guy was…" He glanced down at her.

"Who said it was a guy?" She couldn't help but tease him.

When he jerked back, eyes wide and face completely red, she giggled. Listening to her giggle he calmed down. "I don't know if yer joking about that… but I dunno whether to be worried 'r turned on."

Levy just giggled more. "You never need to worry, because I love you."

"Ya got bad taste in men."

"Maybe."

"I'm going be a selfish bastard and a jerk at times."

"I know how to deal with you. My purse works well. Or I could take a page out of Lucy's book and kick you."

He glared at the petite blunette. "I'll spend the rest of my life proving how much I love ya, cause I sure as hell don't deserve ya." He finished.

"You don't to, because I already know how much you love me. And you deserve happiness, Gajeel. And I'm hope you find it with me."

"No fucking hope about it. I know I will." He kissed her slowly, lips moving at whatever pace she set. She knew what she was doing apparently.

Levy smiled into the kiss, slowly moving to sit up, which caused him to sit back. He would have growled in annoyance if she hadn't started pulling her shirt up over her head.

He swallowed hard at a realization, she didn't wear a bra when she slept. Suddenly all those nights, sleeping so close to her after training, before they want to Tenrou…

His mouth went dry as his eyes took in her uncovered chest. Small, but perfect. Her breasts were actually bigger than he thought, a B-cup most likely.

"You can touch me, Gajeel. You don't have to just look." Her voice broke his thoughts.

How could he touch such a beautiful thing with his once blood stained hands?

"Don't go there. I know that look." A small hand gripped his chin, forcing him to meet her gaze. "Don't get lost in the past, especially since I'm here… right now... Wanting a future with you. Phantom Lord is gone, and look at where we are. You're a Fairy Tail mage. You've made up your past to me… You're amazing, Gajeel." She whispered to him.

Arms wrapped around her, tightly pulling her to his chest. "Thank you… Thank you so much." He whispered into her hair.

She was offering him so much... and he wasn't going to waste it.

Gajeel slowly pulled away, his lips moving to hers, his hands resting on her waist.

She couldn't help but smile against his lips, her fingers moving to his hands, resting over them, she guided his hands up her body.

"You won't hurt me, Gajeel. You never would hurt me." She said against his lips.

He never wanted to, but sometimes he worried because of how small she was. He slowly moved to cup her breasts, feeling how they fit perfectly in his palms. Like the rest of her body, they were warm and soft.

When he started to gently knead them, letting his palm scrape against her nipples, her lips broke from his in a soft moan. He took the chance to pull back and watch her face.

Her expression, head tipped back slightly, exposing her slender neck, her lips parted as such sweet sounds came out. She had his cock straining against his boxers.

Unable to stop his curiosity, his head dropped to her breasts. Gently moving his hand around one of the perky breasts, his lips moved around the rosy bud. Teeth lightly biting down on the tender flesh, but it only caused a sharp gasp and low moan to escape her.

Hearing her moans in approval, he began sucking and biting harder, his other hand kneading her breast until he pulled his palm back to pinch and tug her nipple. Making sure he showed both attention.

Levy's hands moved to his hair, her breath occasionally hitched in her throat. His touch set her blood on fire, every inch of her body was reacting to his touch and she couldn't help but wonder why it took them so long to get to this point.

A whimper escaped her lips as he pulled his head away, but before she knew it he was paying attention to the other.

Her fingers slid through his hair, down along his back. "S-stop teasing me…" She whispered lightly.

"Can't help it, ya taste good." He chuckled against her breast.

This caused her face to flush slightly as he began kissing down along her belly. She may have bene more experience then Gajeel, but not by much.

"Can I…?" His question caused her to hum lightly, his fingers were hooked under her sweatpants, ready to drag them down.

"Not tonight." Her fingers moved to caress his cheek. "We both have to get up early enough. I think if we spend all night doing this…"

"Fuck the games." He growled and moved up to kiss her.

"Mm can't. Everyone is counting on you, plus… I'll be cheering you on the entire time." She moved to kiss him back, wrapping her arms around him. She leaned into him.

"You better." He growled lightly, his hands slipping down to tug her pants off, easily lifting her to tug them and her panties down her legs,

This was the sight he thought he could only dream of, when his lips broke from hers.

Levy on his bed, her blue locks messily fanned out around her head, but her eyes… they were just on him. She was his.

He moved to caress her hip as he got off the bed long enough to tug his boxers off.

Levy was biting her lower lip, catching the sight of his fully erect cock. He was larger than she expected, but she wasn't too surprised to see him pierced there.

"Did they hurt at all…?" She asked lightly, moving to sit up slightly, her fingers moving to brush against his cock. Trailing from the base at his pelvis towards the head with the steel Prince Albert.

She watched as he repressed a twitch, at least… everything but his cock agreed with the repression.

"N-nah… Ya know me and pain, Levy... Fuck… that feels good." She smiled at his breathless confession. Her fingers moving to stroke him slowly.

"Come here." Her voice was soft, but it held a light demand as she moved her hands to rest on her thighs as he moved closer to her. Letting him relax as he sat on the bed.

Once he was comfortable, she got onto his lap, although it was more of a female dominate position, he was going to give him control.

"Start slow, okay." She said lightly, her hand carefully guiding him to her entrance, slick with need, she was only a few inches above him so she bit her lip in anticipation.

"Course, Lev." He whispered, with her guidance he slowly pushed into her. A quiet hiss passing his lips. She was so fucking tight.

His hands slid down to her hip, pulling her toward him. His eyes watching as she moaned out his name.

He loved hearing her name on his lips, it encouraged him to move, careful with his thrusts. He was worried the piercings would hurt her, but seeing her face twist in pleasure he knew she wasn't feeling anything but good things.

"Mm, stop it… not gonna hurt me." She weakly scolded him. "They feel really, really good…"

He lowered his head. "Sorry. Just don't wanna hurt you…" He held back a groan.

"I'll tell you if you ever do." She said lightly, kissing his neck slowly as she lifted her hips out of his grip before dropping herself down onto him.

This made him groan and move to grip her hips tighter, beginning to thrust up into her, his grip guiding her hips towards his thrusts, forcing her to roll her hips against him.

The blunette had her arms wrapped around him, nails digging into his back as he bounced her along the length of his shaft.

He hissed lightly in a cross of pleasure and light pain. He knew the scratches were probably red and welted because of her nails. It just added to his enjoyment.

She felt how he tensed under her, likely trying to ward off his climax, but she wasn't much farther behind him in that sense.

"I love you." She whispered, leaning down to kiss him slowly, her hips slowly lifting and dropping, taking her time to feel as his every inch filled her.

"Love ya, too. But don't think I'm givin' ya, control." He was taking advantage of the position. His hands holding her hips as he guided her, his own moving to meet hers.

It wasn't the steady pace she had set nor the one they started with; it was so much better. Like his overall personality, Gajeel was thrusting into her harder and faster without pushing too far too fast.

The thrusts had her head tossing back, crying out in pleasure, loud moans filling the mostly empty room, mingling with the mixture of the sound of skin hitting skin.

The blunette was so wet, so tight. She was so damn close and it was all his fault she was going to cum so quick.

The way he was taking her aching body along with the added pleasure of his piercings, Levy was almost there, her body beginning to tremble in his grasp.

"Fuck… yer getting so tight…" He grunted, he was nearing his own limit.

"I'm… I'm so close… don't you dare stop!" Her head was thrown, her perky breasts bouncing with thrust of his hips and guidance of his hand.

Her vision was spotty and soon it was past that. Her lips couldn't stop the cry of his name as she came, hard.

The way her core squeezed his cock, how her juices flowed over him, and her cry… he couldn't hold back. With a low growl he came, yanking Levy down into his arms. He tightly gripped her to his chest.

His hot seed pouring into her as he sank his teeth into her neck.

She really didn't expect the latter, but she was also with a Dragon Slayer. Her body just tried to relax, a twinge in pain raked through her. But it was soon overwhelmed by a feeling of euphoria.

Her blood hot, and her magic pulsated. This feeling was as if every nerve ending in her body felt pleasure. A small portion of his naturally powerful magic was laced within her own. His magic having marked her just as his body had. And it was one of the most amazing feelings in the world.

"Sorry." He muttered, nuzzling her neck as the addition of his magic helped the wound seal quickly. "It is... How Dragons and Dragon Slayers mark their mates.

Levy just smiled and turned to press a kiss to his cheek. Exhaustion taking hold of her body, and from the weight of his arms around her, he wasn't too far behind.

She wanted to warn him, to tell him everything and she would…

She just knew now wasn't the time.

"Tomorrow, after you win… because I know you will, come get me." She whispered as she snuggled against his chest.

She didn't know if they'd actually win, the Future Gajeel didn't tell her. She did believe in them though, and come tomorrow night… when the Dragons attacked, she'd be at his side, whether he liked it or not.

"Of course I will." His voice was as tired as hers, arms wrapped around her smaller body. He pressed a light kiss to her forehead.


It was just past dawn that Gajeel left Levy asleep in his hotel room. He had to meet his team, and he didn't want to wake her.

"I'll be listening for ya, Levy." He brushed his lips against her temple before he left. He closed the door and left her sleeping in bed.

It was less than an hour later that Levy woke up and tugged her clothes on so she could go get dressed in her room. Her body was sore and she ached in a good way.

The blunette soon was seeing the future version of her mate quietly waiting.

His memories had been shifting, having two sets of memories. She was changing their future, and he was happy for it. While, right now, it had the same ending, he's assuming because it hasn't happened for her yet.

His fingers brushed her hair away from her neck, while it seemed flawless, the moment he touched it, her magic responded to his, iron scales lightly decorating her neck. They were smaller, more delicately shaped than the scales that would cover his body.

"Gaj…?" She asked. She had taken to calling her Gajeel, Gajeel, and his future self Gaj.

"I have to go after Heartfilia, I have a feeling." He didn't want to go, but his instincts had never been wrong before… even if he had ignored them.

"Go. Stay safe, I don't want you acting without thinking." She said, leaning into the hand as it moved from her neck to her cheek. "I need to go watch your younger self win the games."

"Who said Fairy Tail wins?" He quirked a pierced brow.

"Me. Because I believe in him and your strength." She grinned lightly.

He chuckled and moved to brush her hair back. "Cheer the loudest out there. You'll enjoy the fights." He said lightly, leaning to brush his lips against her forehead.

"Do you doubt I will?" She asked.

"Not for a fuckin' second." He smirked. "Get dressed, Lev. I'll see you when I can… and I know ya want to tell him."

"I really should, I hate hiding this from him. Especially after last night." She said lightly, moving to grab her dress from the closet.

"Tell him… but don't tell him about Heartfilia. I have more control of my anger, but him bein' so new to being yer mate. He may kill Heartfilia and her self from this time. I know I've been tempted to, but you and the Levy I lost are the only things keepin' me from doing it."

"I thought you didn't hate her." She mumbled.

"She still is the cause of my Lev being gone, I don't care if she was my damn sister. She took my heart and soul from me. If Ur didn't come out with the Eclipse Plan to come back… I would have taken my own life."

Golden eyes snapped to him.

"When I did this to ya." He moved to her, touching her neck to see the scales reappear once more, "You became my life. My everything. Your scent on that ribbon you always wear, it kept me half sane." He said lightly. "Besides, I have a promise to keep."

"To who…?" Levy questioned lightly, her hand moving over his large hand as it rested on her neck.

"Freed. Funny who becomes your friends when you feel the world crashing down on you." He chuckled bitterly. "Now go. I need to go as well."

He caught her small nod and left quickly and quietly. He had to go to the castle.


Laxus was gone, not because of a dragon or wounds. Laxus had killed himself a week after Mira's death.

Second Generation Dragon Slayer or not, the attachment, the deep soul depth need for one's mate was still there.

Freed was a wreck after losing his best friend, but he wasn't willing to let go like that. Instead he had, in a way, become Gajeel's pillar.

Losing Levy was like losing color and sound. Everything was dull, and the only thing keeping him sane was the scent that clung to the ribbon she had once worn.

It hadn't been Lucy or Ur or Meredy that had pulled him from his depths, it had been Freed.

The green haired male had been so much like Levy, that there was a comfort in his presence. Fucking spoke words at him that he didn't understand half the time, then again, at least they were Fiorian this time.

Levy had always had a habit of switching up what language she spoke when she was upset. He really fucking missed those days.

It was by the third month Gajeel realized something, he was using Freed to replace as much as he lost of Levy, as Freed was using him to replace what he lost of Laxus.

Freed lost everyone. The Thunder Legion was shattered. Elfman had been gravely injured, which lead to Evergreen taking him across the heavy dragon populated area, one Levy dubbed: The Nest.

Surprisingly, they survived and were with Wendy and Chelia's group.

Along with Mira, Bickslow and Lisanna were lost.

Freed was alone, and while he could try to go to where Ever and Elfman were, the woman had left him without a word.

Gajeel welcomed the distraction, but by month five, Freed and Gajeel were back in their own pits of despair. They had moments, where their friendship had helped, but the loss of their families had been too great.

"You're going?" Freed had been lurking in the background when Lucy had confronted Gajeel about the gates.

"Yes. I'd do anything to get Levy back…" Crimson eyes didn't look to the other male, it looked to the worn, dirty ribbon around his wrist.

"You're changing the past, Gajeel!"

"Well, what kind of future is this!?" Gajeel was furious. "Levy is dead, Laxus is dead, Natsu is dead. Most of everyone we know, if fucking dead!" The Iron Dragon Slayer snarled.

"I'll changed whatever I have to if it means I get Levy back." His tone dropped, before he met Freed's gaze.

"Fine. Promise me one thing." Freed paused to see Gajeel nod his head slightly. "You make sure this is worth it. You make damn sure that brat out there does what she's supposed to do!" Freed yelled. "You make sure she stops these damn dragons from ever attacking!"


Levy stood up in the stands, watching as all of the teams walked into the City of Crocus for their final battle. Her eyes never leaving the lacrima screen before her.

"This is it." She thought.

Gajeel Redfox, of X791, stood with his four other teammates in Crocus, waiting for the right time. Following the First Master's Plan.

Gajeel Redfox, of X794, was moving towards the Castle.

Lucy Heartfilia, of X791, was currently in a prison cell, trying to escape with Yukino.

Lucy Heartfilia, of X794, was currently navigating her path to which the underground paths opened. Where she'd confront herself and all of her friends she had lost.

The future Lucy had much to make up for, but with the help of her past self, she'd make up everything. She'd stop the dragons, even if it killed her. She couldn't allow Natsu to die… nor could she ever allow herself to send Levy and Gajeel after him.

"Good luck everyone." Levy thought, hoping each of them heard her words in their hearts.


ShadowKurayami: So, next chapter will be more Future Lucy and Future Gajeel focused.

Lucy is getting a lot of hate for what happened. Lucy is far from my favorite character, but I don't hate her. There is a reason she did what she did, and why I had it done this way. So relax, all will be clear soon.

Anyways.
