Authors Note- Nope, still don't own Fairy Tail. That still belongs to Hiro Mashima. Anyways now that we got the formalities out of the way here is Chapter 4 of Iron Hearted.


She was the most magnificent creature he had ever laid eyes on. A smile began to form on his face as he watched the blue haired sprite from Fairy Tail as she busied herself with her task. Her eyes never leaving the book she was so intent on fixing. It was one of the many things that drew him to her. Her ability to focus on nothing but her task at hand, as well as her intelligence.

Inching a little further out of the shadows he watched as she brushed a few strands of blue hair out of her eyes. Wishing for nothing more than to be the one to do that for her. To feel her skin beneath his fingers, to feel her shiver at his touch. To hear her whisper his name, oh, how he desired nothing more than for her to be his.

However, smile disappearing from his face as he thought back to the guild she had devoted her life to. That blasted Fairy Tail. And not only the guild itself but the people with in it. From the annoyingly chipper Lucy Heartfilia, to those bumbling idiots Jet and Droy that attached themselves to her like leeches. Dragging Levy down with their incompetence.

If not for those two alone Levy would have no doubt moved up through the guild. Oh, how he loathed them, every single one. Hated how she would spend all her time with them, laughing with them, hanging out with them. It angered him how much she would be with her so called friends of hers, yet she wouldn't even cast him so much as a second glance.

And the one who made him most angry, the one she paid the most attention to was that brute. That Gajeel Redfox, he knew who he was. He was the very man who had hurt Levy in the first place, back all those many years ago when Fairy Tail went up against Phantom Lord who only engaged with them because of Lucy.

If not for her...No, he shook his head angrily but stopped when Levy stopped and looked in his direction, but didn't seem to notice that he was here as he took a few steps back into the darkness. Obscuring himself from her. He couldn't reveal himself to her yet...in due time. Biting down on his bottom lip he watched as she went back to her task, seeming to brush off any movement he had made as her imagination.

Lucy wasn't the biggest threat to Levy, no. It was that beast, the one that idiot guild master had allowed into that guild without a second thought. That Gajeel, he was no fool, he had seen the way he looked at Levy, and though it angered him to no end he had also seen the way Levy had looked at Gajeel in return. But he honestly couldn't blame her, she was naive, she thought she might be in love with the beast. But he knew in his heart of hearts that once he made his feelings known, she would forget about him completely and be his.

And if not...his smile turned cruel...He would make her his whether she wanted to or not...
