Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters

Here's the next chapter staring… Gajeel and Levy! My fav couple! You have to admit that they're adorable together and there are a lot of hints for them. I don't think you can ship them with anyone except each other. I know this couple is really popular so I hope that I meet all your standards. Happy reading :)
_

Levy was a terror. There was no question about it. The little fairy of Fairy Tail cause more destruction than a tornado. Personally, Gajeel wouldn't mind a mess but Pantherlily had a different opinion entirely. Gajeel didn't even want to think what Lily would do to him if Lily came home to find their house a mess. Lily had left earlier to go back to the Guild to calm his raging headache and Gajeel felt tempted to do the same.

"My kitty can fly!" Levy stared out the window at Lily's figure flying away.

"He's my cat." Gajeel said gruffly but Levy only puffed her cheeks.

"I like Lily." She smiled up at Gajeel. He couldn't blame Levy for falling in love with Lily and trying to take his cat for herself. Lily was an adorable cat, expressly when there was a thunder storm. Lily was a dark fur kitty with adorable small circular ears. He had a scar over his left eye and wore black pants. On top of being adorable, Lily was powerful.

Levy's next words shocked him. "I like you too."

Gajeel blushed at this but quickly hid it by turning away. He got worried the way she was leaning out the window, so he took her under his arm and threw her onto the couch. She was giggling the entire time.

She lifted her arms out to him as soon as he put her down. "Up, I want another dragon ride!"

He sighed, "I have to go."

"Where?" She turned her head adorably to the side.

"I need a drink." He told her. He couldn't drink in front of a little girl, he was a responsible adult. He would go to the guild, buy a drink and come back before Levy could miss him.

But Levy had some objection against that. She let out a loud wail and hugged onto his leg "I don't want you to go Mr. Dragon! Take me with you."

"I'm not taking you to that damn guild!" He snapped at her. "It's too loud and you're too young to drink! You're smart enough to stay home."

"But it's scary here alone. Anyway those two scary pedo can jump out any moment!"

"Nobody can get in and not even an idiot would try. Maybe except Salamander." He informed her with an indifferent voice.

"But a pervert can get in!"

He sighed and tried a different approach, "Oi, Shrimp, I'm going to go get your cat, he's at the guild. Now if you don't let go off my leg I can't go get him."

"'Kay!" She let go of his leg but didn't step away from him. Instead she raised her arms out to him.

"I'm not giving you another dragon ride!" He yelled. He had given her over, well he was sure he couldn't that high, but it was a lot, he can assure you.

"No, kiss me goodbye!" She smiled up at him. She scowled when nothing greeted her but the sound of the door slamming.

She puffed her cheeks and placed her fist on her hips. When they first arrive at the cave he called a house, Levy decided that she would marry the man and bring some light to his world. She didn't know why he was putting up such a fight but he had done nothing but scowl at her.

Levy climbed onto the uncomfortable couch with great difficulty and she once again curse her short size. Her dragon was so tall that he was a mountain compare to her small frame. He had long spiky hair that fell down his back that contrasted with his crimson eyes. She giggled and got giddy at the thought of his eyes that had the ability to look deep into her heart. He wore a black tunic that was torn at the end with a white slash around his waist. On his right shoulder his tunic had a distinctive wing like sleeve. His pants were white and baggy. She thought he looked like a scary dragon that was strong and dangerous but she knew that he was like the dragon in her book, grouchy and lonely.

Levy soon got bored went to find some food. She ran to the counter to see if he had any fruits left on the counter. She would remember that Hilda would often have a basket of fruits on the counter. The only problem Levy faced now was the fact the she couldn't reach it. She sighed but brightens when she saw an iron table. With much effort she dragged it to the counter and flipped it over so she could use it to walk up onto the counter like a drawbridge. She knew that the table would shift under her weight so she had to find something heavy to put on the end so they wouldn't.

She found some heavy blocks that were under a desk and dragged it to her makeshift drawbridge. She didn't notice that the desk caved in on its self since the steel blocks she took was holding up the desk since one of its legs was shorter than the others.

Levy sigh in disappointment when all she found were half eaten chunks of iron. She hopped off the counter and went to the refrigerator only to find to almost empty. The only thing she could find was a bar of something brown.

Should I eat it? She pondered, He does eat iron but this couldn't possible hurt. She took a cautious nibble and a wonderful taste. It melted in her mouth and she hummed out her delight and quickly digested the brown bar. A thousand thoughts flew through her mind and she had the sudden urge to run, jump and do whatever action her little body was capable of.

This was Levy's first experience with chocolate.

Gajeel drowned his fifth cup of beer. He needed this to calm the headache he developed looking after Levy. He had faith that she wouldn't damage too much before he got back. Mirajane was there and scowled at him for leaving a nine year old child alone. Gajeel went back because he knew that Mirajane was not a person you wanted to anger. He also grabbed Pantherlily on the way out since he remember that he promise that he would bring the cat home.

He smiled at the image of a sleeping Levy waited for him when he got home. But it wasn't the nine year old girl she was now but the little woman that he pinned to a tree then protected with his life. She wasn't as curvaceous as the other girls at the guild but there was something about him that made him look twice. She was so small that he considers her his fairy and he'll be damned if anyone else claims her before he did. He had the ability to warm everyone's heart, including him which was a feat in itself and all she had to do was look at him with those deep brown eyes. He had to admit that he always had a thing for girls with soft blue hair. When he first met her it was short and was glad that she let it grow out past she shoulder so he could run his hands through them though sometimes she would pull it back with her headband.

"Hey, where are you taking me?" Lily asked, drawing Gajeel out of his thoughts.

"I'm taking you back home." Gajeel smirked when Lily visibly paled when he thought of Levy holding him in that death grip she called a hug.

"What can little shrimp do?" He laughed as he opened the door.

The two can only stare in shock at the condition of their apartment, or at least what was left of it. The only thing that could cause such a sight was if a tornado but since they knew such a thing was impossible they naturally assume that their place was ransacked. Gajeel intently became worried about Levy and fallowed her scent to his room. They soon found the culprit; in fact the perpetrator ran head first into him.

A very hyper Levy ran towards them and with one easy leap was in Gajeel's arms squealing and giggling. "Mr. Dragon! Look how high I can jump!"

As quickly as she leaped into his arms she wiggled out of them. She ran to his bed and climbed onto it with much effort. All Gejeel could do was watch as Levy jumped and almost reach the ceiling. His worry overcame the shock and reached out to take her into his arms.

"Yeah, another dragon ride!"

"What were you doing? You could break your neck!" He demanded, "How did you jump so high?"

"I put extra springs in the bed!" She informed him with a huge smile he didn't know if he could hold his scowl. "I stole them from the couch."

Gajeel had to grin remembering the holes in the couch. So it had been his little fairy that caused havoc on his house.

"What into you shrimp?" He asked, letting her sit on his shoulder, next to Lily. Like Lily feared, Levy hugged him with all her might, cutting off his access to air.

"Do you like my decoration?" She asked him with hope in her eyes. "I painted the walls a pretty colour!"

Gajeel noticed that his walls were now multicolour in different median such as crayon and marker. He could only guess that she had created them with her solid script magic. He sighed thinking of all the work it would take to clean the place and Lily would insist that the mess be cleaned. Well there was nothing he could do about it so he decided to let it slide. He looked at the clock and realized that it was almost past dinner time.

"Oi, Shrimp, you hungry?"

"Nope, I had that funny looking brown thing in the fridge."

"You gave her chocolate!" Lily screamed in Gajeel's ear. "You know what that can do to a child?"

"I didn't give it to her!" He yelled back.

They argued but Levy was oblivious to it all. She reached over and began to braid his hair giggling when he growled at her. She bounced on his shoulder and tried to climb onto his head so she could get higher vantage point. Gajeel grunted and almost fell when Levy grabbed a fistful of his hair to achieve her goal. He didn't really mind Levy sitting on his shoulder since she wasn't all that heavy but he had to draw the line at her pulling at his hair.

He gentle put her down but Levy wasn't having any of that. She held onto his arms, laughing in delight.

"Go play while I clean this mess." He patted her head, "and no more chocolate."

"How did you know I ate it all?" She looked up at him as if he was God himself.

Gajeel had to laugh at that while Lily only snorted. Levy had eaten his entire supply of chocolate but couldn't punish someone as cute and innocent as Levy and there was the fact that Gajeel would kill him if he tried. Gajeel placed Levy on the couch and gave her a stern 'do not cause me any more trouble' look. She nodded and held out her pinky finger.

"I pinky swear!"

He grunted but wrapped his large pinky finger around hers.

Lily and Gajeel went to his room to clean the damage Levy done. They could salvage the bed so they decided to throw it out and Gajeel did that quite literally. He grabbed the bed and threw it out the window and barely noticed the scream that fallow. The worst that could've happen was that someone broken their leg, he told himself, nothing to concern himself with.

As Gajeel cleaned his room by throwing various undesired items out the window, Levy soon became bored again. She had promise Gajeel that she wouldn't break anything or cause another mess. Now that she had sobered from her sugar high she realized the damage she done and was ashamed. She lay on her back and stared up at the ceiling. Then she noticed something, an untouched corner or rather the steel cabinet. It was probable the only furniture that was intact but that wasn't what drawn her attention.

It was the book that was rested on top of it.

She walked over to the cabinet that loomed over her. It was probably ten times her size but that didn't stop her. Gajeel said she couldn't break anything but she'll die from boredom! She'll get the book and that should hold her until Gajeel finish cleaning.

She couldn't use the same trick she did to get onto the counter since she couldn't break another table and she was too tired to drag anything heavy across the room. The cabinet had enough shelves that weren't too far apart for her to be able to climb it. She tested her hold on the first shelf then pulled herself upwards. Slowly, she made her way upwards towards the book.

Gajeel almost had a heart attack when he walked out of the room and saw little Levy climbing up his steel cabinet. She was almost able to get the book when she realized that the top was far out of her reach. Puffing her cheek, she jumped and grabbed the edge of the wood. With her other hand she reached up and tried to get the book. She just touched the edge of the book when sweat collected between her fingers, causing her to slip.

Gajeel never moved so fast, not even with Wendy's assist magic. He was under her in seconds and caught her in his arms. She giggled and reached up to touch his cheek.

"You saved me Mr. Dragon."

Gajeel grunted but didn't put her down. He almost lost her and he need to feel her heat as reassurance. He reached up and easily took the book. "If you wanted it why didn't you just call me to get it for you?"

"You were cleaning," She informed him, taking the book from his hand; "I didn't want to bother you."

He rolled his eyes at her before putting her down; she wasn't having any of that though. She grabbed his hand and dragged him to the couch. She ordered him to sit and to her surprise he obeyed her with a grunt. She ignored his glare and climbed onto his lap.

"Read to me Mr. Dragon." She looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"I don't like reading, I just found that book somewhere but never got around to seeing who it belong to."

He rubbed the back of his head not wanting to tell her that it was hers. He found it covered in her scent and got curious so he took it home to read. The book was the most stupid thing he ever read, something about princesses and dragons and whatnot. It was more of a child book than one of her regular mystery books and yes he had to admit he stole one of those too. It was just that Levy left so many books at the guild he didn't want anyone to trip over them or her having a heart attack about losing one. So when everyone was asleep he would go to Fairy Hill, climb onto her room through the window and place them beside her bed. He didn't know why he didn't do the same with this book though.

"I'll read it to you then. Beauty's Dragon, oh I know this book! I like this one, my mother use to read it to me and it has a dragon in it. I love dragons!" She told him with a smile. She opened the book and began to read to him…

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl named Beauty. She was the daughter of a fairy and was given everything she wanted but she didn't need any of that, she loved to read books about fairy tales and romance. Inside her heart she knew that the only thing she wanted was to meet her prince and fall in love.

In a distant country there was fear and destruction since there was a dragon terrorizing it. The dragon sent them a demand but to everyone demise, it was written in an old language that they couldn't understand. They assume he would want a virgin sacrifice like in the old legends so they decided to offer their princess. Beauty heard of this and made her way to the country for the princess was her friend. She couldn't let her friend get eaten so she convinced the council to let her go in the princess's place.

They agreed and sent her into the forest. After a while of wondering she came to a beautiful palace. Wanting shelter from the cold she went inside. When she closed the door behind her, she heard a voice boomed.

"Who's there? What ya want?"

Beauty sank to her knees and broke down crying, telling the voice on how she was to be eaten by the dragon to save her friend. She stopped crying when she felt a blanket wrap around her shoulder. She looked around and saw that there was no one. The voice that spoke to her was gruff but it calmed her.

"I'm the dragon that everyone seems to be afraid of. Don't worry, I won't eat you and you can stay here until tomorrow."

"Wait I thought you wanted a virgin sacrifice."

"I wanted some troops to help me find my father the dragon but those idiot can't get pass the fact that dragons are big scary beasts."

Beauty thanked him and stayed the night. She had dinner with him and listen to his story of how he was raised by a dragon but wasn't a dragon himself unless he got really mad, which was apparently often. But throughout their dinner she couldn't see his face because he disguised himself with his magic.

When the time came for her to return home, she stayed, not wanting to leave the man to his loneliness. As she lived with the dragon he gave her everything she wanted but she graciously refused every time. The only thing she indulged herself in was his library where they would read to each other. One day over dinner he asked her a question she never thought he would ask.

"Will you marry me Beauty?"

At first she didn't know what to say but in the end she refused him because he never trusted her enough to show her his face, he never even gave her his name. Every night after that the same would occur, he would ask and she would refuse claiming that he had no faith in her because he constantly hid from her.

After months her love for the dragon grew and Beauty found it harder to refuse him but she didn't want marriage without trust. She also got lonely; she missed her mother and friends. She told the dragon that she would be going to visit her family before returning home. The dragon could sense her distress and gave her a ring saying, "If you turn the jewel three times you will return home."

When she left and waved goodbye she couldn't see that the dragon had a smile on his face because when she told him that she was going to visit her family, she spoke as if the palace was more her home than the village she grew up in.

On her way to see her mother, Beauty came upon some soldiers. They asked her if she knew where the dragon was for they were on their way to slay him. Her heart cried out to the dragon and begged the men to spare him. The men didn't listen to Beauty tough, saying that she was trying to protect a monster and attacked her.

Beauty thought she was going to die there without being able to tell the dragon about her love for him when the dragon in question leaped out of the bushed to save her, as if her thoughts had called him to her. This was the first time she saw him in the flesh, or rather iron scales. He had told her he only turned into a dragon when his anger was at its peak. Though the dragon was powerful, he was outnumber and taken prisoner.

Beauty's heart broke when she heard that he was to be beheaded in the plaza that afternoon. It was her fault that he was going to die.

She wiped her tears with new determination. It would be her turn to save him. She made her way into town to save her love. She saw the executor push the dragon to his knees and raised his ax. Beauty cried out and threw herself over the dragon. She wrapped her arms around his neck and cried out.

"Please don't kill him! I love him!"

A shock silence filled the air and nothing could be heard but Beauty's sniffling. Beauty's fairy mother heard her daughter's passionate outburst and it moved her heart. She cast a spell that would allow them to be together forever. Her spell turned them into a constellation so their story will be forever told.

Levy closed the book and looked up at the sleeping dragon slayer. She giggled and went into the bedroom to get a blanket. Climbing onto his lap, she wrapped the blanket around them both. She gave his a chaste kiss on his cheek before snuggling into him and falling asleep.

When Lily finally finished cleaning he went out to the living room and saw an older Levy sleeping on Gajeel's lap. He chuckle softly to himself and flew out the window to go to the guild.

Light trickled through Levy's eyelid and woke slowly. She must've fell asleep reading in a chair again; she shifted to try to make herself more comfortable. She looked up to find Gajeel still sleeping, softly snoring. She giggled and deducted that her dream was more than that. She kissed him lightly and whispered in his ear.

"I love you." She couldn't do that when she was conscious, she didn't have the courage. When she tried to leave, the arms around her waist tighten.

"Took your damn time telling me, didn't you?" A gruff voice spoke in her ear.

"Gajeel! I thought you were asleep."

"I was but I have super hearing so whispering in my ear is like screaming in my ear." He grumbled.

"I'm sorry Gajeel! I-"

Gajeel cut her off with a rough kiss. After a while Levy got past her shock and responded for all that she was worth. Everything was a blur to her except Gajeel whispering his love between kisses.

"You're taking this pretty well Evergreen." Lisanna told her guild mate.

"He was hard to manage at first but I found a way to manage him." She said rather proudly.

"You threaten to turn him to stone or did you already do that?" Mirajane asked with a giggle.

"I'm much more creative than that." She pointed to the cage that she dragged behind her. Inside was a little ape like monster banging on the bars.

"I'm a man and will not be kept caged!"

Everyone in the guild laughed causing Elfman's try beast to appear.

Cliff-hanger!

I hope you like this chapter. The story that Levy read Gajeel was actually a combination of Beauty and the Beast and Eros and Psyche, I love those two love stories and thought it would go with Gajeel and Levy.

Review Please.
