Iron Stomach Flu
Gajeel POV
"GAJEEL!" Levy called for the millionth time, "GET UP,"
l moaned and rolled over, eyelids heavy.
"Okay, comin'," I said. My voice felt like sandpaper. My eyelids refused to stop drooping down. My head spun like a roller coaster, and I had an upset stomach that was ready to come out any second.
I walked over to the bathroom and coughed a fit. Then sneezed a fit. I brushed my teeth hastily and went downstairs.
"G-Gajeel," Levy said, "Y-You look terrible,"
"I feel terrible," I rasped as I coughed harder.
Levy patted my back and opened a messaging lacrima. I saw the guild appear and I hid almost immediately. I didn't want them to see what I looked like right now.
"What's up Levy-chan?" Lucy asked.
"Oh. I just wanted to tell you guys Gajeel's sick so we can't make it to the guild today," Levy said. I groaned at her words.
"Oh man! Iron butt's sick?! I thought I had to FIGHT him today!" Natsu yelled.
"Yo Flame Brain shut up, he's sick alright?" Gray retorted.
I felt the anger rise inside me as the feeling to throw up on stupid Salamander's face increased.
"You wanna go Snowcone Head?!" Natsu yelled.
"Why not, Brainless Tabasco Freak?!" Gray yelled back.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Erza yelled which pounded my headache.
"A-Anyways I just wanted to say that Gajeel is sick and we can't make it. Sorry!" Levy said as she put away the lacrima.
I came out and broke into a coughing fit. Levy patted my back as I coughed more.
"Are you okay?" she asked, concerned.
"No," I said flatly.
"Care for any breakfast?" she asked.
"Never," I said. Another cough. This time with stuff in it. Gross.
I went back to bed, with a headache and stomach ache. Falling asleep was really hard. It was a summer day and I was freezing cold.
"Oi Gajeel," Levy said softly, "Here,"
She handed me a glass of water and put a cloth on my head. I drank the water, and coughed on it, choking and spitting everything on the sheets.
"S-S-Sorry," I shivered.
"You'll be fine," she said, patting my back again.
"Why are you even taking care of me? Isn't Shadow Gear on a mission today?" I croaked.
"Are you kidding? Shadow Gear is just one of my extra hobbies. Your health is more important." She sternly said.
I chuckled, but then coughed for a long time, fit after fit.
"What do you-*cough*- need me to-a-ACHOO!-do right now?" I said between sneezes and coughs.
"Nothing. Just get better." she said touching my head. I saw her face go pale.
"What?" I asked.
"G-G-Gajeel, you're fever is really high," she said.
I felt dizzy and went to sleep. Sleeping was something. Dreaming was something else. I was fighting Rogue and Salamander as my head pounded hard. Then the dizziness and nausea were too much.
Bleaaaaaargh! I threw up on Rogue's Exceed, Frosch, causing him to break into tears.
"Ahhhh," he wailed, "Fro is dirty with puke!"
I turned red and continued to throw up and gag until Natsu came down with a fist and I blocked. When it was about to come down, I bolted awake and made a mad dash for the bathroom.
Pantherlily POVI was snooping around in Gajeel's bathroom when I heard he was sick. I peeked outside to find him sleeping, but suddenly his eyes flew open and he ran towards me. I hided in the cabinet quickly and saw his target wasn't me, but it was the toilet. From the cabinet I heard loud retching noises and groans. I opened the cabinet and found a green-faced, sick Gajeel sitting back.
"Lily!" he rasped.
"Are you okay?" I walked over to him, patting his back.
I heard him groan and then vomit even harder into the toilet. This wasn't just the regular flu, this was stomach flu.
"Lily get out quick," he moaned, "before it happens..."
I had no clue what "it" was so I stayed there. I flushed the toilet when Gajeel screamed, "GO!"
Okay so at this part, for those of you that have really weak stomachs I suggest you don't read because it is really gross past this part so just skip to the next chapter. If you are brave and ave a strong stomach, read on!
Pantherlily POV
I left immediately and heard a roar and scream come from the bathroom as a giant splatter filled my ears. I scrambled downstairs and quickly told Levy.
"WHAT?!" she yelled as she ran upstairs.
I saw her pounding on the bathroom door, screaming Gajeel's name. I smelled a foul odor coming from the bathroom and I knew Gajeel was really ill.
Levy finally gave up, took a needle, pried open the lock, and I almost fainted at the sight.
Gajeel got explosive-diarrhea with extreme throwing up so the toilet flooded and it smelled so bad. Gajeel himself was lying in a pool of blood, and not moving.
I quickly ran out of the bathroom and downstairs to get some kiwi juice. I hope that settles my stomach.
Levy gasped and muttered, "Oh gods I remember last night he ate so much,"
"What?" I asked.
"He ate fifty pieces of sushi, 5 bowls of ramen, 8 bowls of soba, and tons of mochi and rice cakes." she said, staring at the sight.
"He must've threw everything up and kept on doing so until blood came out," I suggested.
"This is bad," Levy muttered, "Solid Script: Clean!"
The bathroom instantly smelled better as all the diarrhea and vomit vanished.
"Gajeel wake up..." Levy said, almost crying, "Come on, you can do it,"
She shook him, but he still lay there, unconscious. I walked over to where his wrist was and checked his pulse.
I gasped. Dangerously low. Almost nothing. I activated my Aera and flew to the guild.
"Lily!" Happy said.
"Quick get me Wendy" I yelled.
"What happened?" everyone asked.
"J-Just don't- I'll tell you later okay?" I said as Wendy came. I flew with her and told her everything as she gasped.
"I've never heard of that before!" She said as we reached home.
Nobody POV
Wendy got to Gajeel's house and saw him lying pale-faced and in a pool of blood.
Levy was relieved to see the sky dragon slayer here.
"Wendy-" Levy started.
"I know. I will try my best." the young dragon slayer said confidently.
She cast a spell over Gajeel's body, but nothing happened.
"Hold on..." she muttered, trying hard to focus her energy on the sick body.
Still, nothing happened.
"Aaagh!" Wendy said, sweating as she tried once more.
This time the glow was a lot brighter than before. However, nothing happened once again.
Wendy fell backwards, as her eyes closed, "S-Sorry Levy-chan," she said as she fainted.
Levy gasped. Lily gasped. They quickly went to Wendy and shook her.
"Wendy!" Levy screeched as she shook the navy blue-haired mage.
She didn't wake up. Gajeel's pulse was lowering. Wendy's was too.
Charle and Lily made an emergency visit to the guild again. A surprise awaited them. When the doors burst open, they saw a party going on, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fairy Tail.
"Hey guys!" Mira said.
"This is no time to be happy, Wendy and Gajeel are both on the edge of death!" Charle said through tears.
"What?!" Everyone shouted.
The Exceeds made a visit to Porlyusica and she went to Levy and Gajeel's house.
She went to Wendy first. Porlyusica plunged a needle into Wendy's arm, and her eyes flew open.
"What? What? Where am I? Where's Gajeel-san?" she said.
Porlyusica then thrust the needle into Gajeel's arm, with nothing happening.
"Oh no," she muttered as she went to work with her medicines.
"What?" Levy asked nervously.
"I'm afraid somebody has stomach cancer," Porlyusica said.
"WHAT?! YOU CAN CURE IT RIGHT?!" Levy screamed as she broke into a sob.
"Yeah, but it will take a long time. About 3 months."
Porlyusica injected something into Gajeel's arm and his pulse rate increased.
Levy continued to cry as Wendy comforted her.
For the course of 2 months Gajeel threw up, coughed, and sneezed as the cancer cells slowly made their way out of his body.
"Fast recovery, huh?" Porlyusica smiled as she revived Gajeel.
"Thank you sooooo much, Porlyusica," Levy smiled and turned to Gajeel.
"I thought... I-I thought y-y-you were gonna die..." Levy started crying again as she buried her face in Gajeel's stomach.
"s-s-sorry," he said.
After all, they were still the best couple ;)
That's it for the men! Sorry this one was so yucky.
