Gajeel did not believe what he saw. He really didn't. But it was right before his eyes and it was too good no tear the gaze away, goddamn! Why didn't he saw her like that earlier? Why didn't he imagined how perfectly she would look, noticing her cat-like cute face and tiny, curvy frame?
He felt like he was going to die. And he would go to Valhalla. Because right before him, not noticing him among the crowd, (what usually made her stop doing what she did and blush, and he liked what she was doing now) was a blue goddess.
Levy in a catgirl suit.
Levy in a catgirl suit dancing with Bunnygirl in a bunny suit to Mira's female version of 'shooby-do-bop'.
The world was sparkling.
The tiny script mage was wearing a pair of magic white cat ears with blue stripes and sported a long tail with the same pattern. She had those stripes painted on her back, front of thighs and arms, and he was able to see it because she was wearing white striped SHORT-shorts and a tight shirt shoving off stomach and arms bound with long blue lace. Lucy had a pink-white dress on, but he didn't care.
His eyes were now dedicated to the Tiger-Levy.
"…Gajeel, for god's sake, I am speaking to you!" A strong shove made him uncharacteristically stumble back and almost fall on his ass, and he angrily looked at an amused Lily in his Edo-size looking down at him.
"What?" He snapped, before giving a last, longing glance at the stage, where the girls were done dancing and laughed together, while the (male) audience howled.
"I was asking if you enjoy being an S-class mage." Lily chuckled. "But I think I didn't even have to ask."
Gajeel blushed and shifted his gaze to Gray who was thanking a steaming Juvia for being so brave under the sharp tip of Erza's sword and Natsu who laughed his ass off.
He and Juvia were the lucky ones this year, finally archiving the long lost position from Phantom. He was once again 'one of the strongest', with people looking at him like he mattered a lot. People being amazed and scared of him and whispering that he was a match for Salamander, what made his pride, and the demon buried and squished deep within him swell.
Only this time was different. No pat on the shoulder and an offer of slaughter whispered dirtily in his hear, only happy cheers, party, and Levy chorusing shooby-do-bo-
"You doze off again. Maybe you should just tell her how you feel."
"I- What?" Iron dragon looked at his partner with uncharacteristically wide eyes.
"Och come on. If you didn't snap yet, after seeing her like that must have done it. It's quite obvious you like her-"
"Cat, I'm not!"
"Believe in it, fine." Lily laughed. In his face. "Your dreamy face isn't going to be out of my mind for a while though."
Gajeel was left alone while trying to loudly deny any bonds he might or might not have in long sentences dotted with curses.
He sure must have looked like a schoolgirl.
He was sitting at the crowded bar half of an hour later, what would be a quarter to midnight, watching her once again while trying to convince himself that the fact she was small and cute and he lo- was nothing and gulping down some booze from Cana, what was her congratulations for him. Of course after he declined an offer of seeing his future. His love life, precisely.
There was sure something going on between Lily and booze/bar chicks with him as a subject, and it pissed him off because he was almost sure he was going to get hooked up with-
"Gajeel~kun?"
With Levy.
He tried to keep his scowl (that started to vanish quickly with her proximity and alcohol in his bloodstream summed up) on as she stood right before him carefully, ears twitching and tail swaying and looking so hot and delicious that he just wanted-
Ach crap.
He was going to suck at long inward speeches now, wasn't he? The girl sure distracted him.
"What?" He said with his voice noticeably calmer.
"I... I'm sorry I didn't congratulate you before, but I was occupied by others." She smiled at him shyly. "I just got free a while ago and since you're not busy, I decided I'll do it."
It would be better for his sanity if his mind was occupied by anything else that wasn't her.
"So, um, c-congratulations!" She stuttered, becoming red. She looked so cute and adorable and catlike that he had to avert his eyes, staring dumbly at those blue stripes that made her hips so much more sexy.
But wait, something wasn't right.
"But you did dance before, didn't you?" He said slowly, eyes narrowing. "It was your congratulations for me."
"Och, that… Master and Mira wanted me to do it with someone, so I chose Lu-chan. It's from the guild…"
Gajeel resisted the urge to facepalm and closed his eyes.
"The costumes too?"
"No. That was a little tip from Lily." Okay, his eyes flew open.
"What did he say to you?" He stood up and grabbed her shoulders, red tickling his cheekbones. Levy flinched.
"Nothing! I just figured you like cats because you like him…" She looked in confusion as he released a deep, relived sigh.
"So I wanted to look like a cat too."
"You look great." He muttered, grabbing his forgotten mug of booze as she became bright red. "You can actually wear this more often" She became brighter red. "So, if you're done congratulating, you can go now."
"Actually…" She trailed off.
"Hn?"
She looked down at the ground and raised her right hand.
"…Solid script: Iron!"
The rush of magic disappeared as quickly as it appeared, and he eyed his favorite word with curiosity. The 'o' didn't even had the heart inside anymore; the whole 'o' was a heart. His eyebrow rose as she turned around to hide her ashamed face at the change.
"T-This is my 'thank you'." She stuttered before rushing to the crowd of drunk mages. However she made it just three steps forward before she was hit with a weight that almost made her fall.
There was a deep rumble behind her as she was glomped by the Iron Dragon. His arms were encircling her waist and his forehead was rested in her hair, chest trembling with a sharp purr against her back.
Her legs turned into jelly.
"…And this is MY 'thanks'." He purred before letting go and making his way out of the building, leaving her gasping and fanning herself in shock.
Maybe he did like her, after all.
This is so pointless! :O
I actually wrote it to describe Gajeel's reaction at levy as a catgirl. The rest is spam.
I don't believe that nobody even wrote about it yet. Gajeel loves cats and loves Levy, right? Why not mix it up?
Though, now I may be smug about being the author of the theory.
*Is smug*
