I decided to split this from chapter 3 (felt like there was a more natural break there :P) Also, I just have my one class left on 20th of June then in 4 days I'll be going to Spain for 7 weeks whooohooo! (of course I still plan on updating there, so no worries :P) I'll probably be dealing with jet lag a few days after arriving and getting back to the states so, bare with me around those times :P
(Dude I just finished posting ch3…a little over 2 hours ago… I'm so proud of myself)
"A Plan of Action"
Gajeel Hated Him. He decided twitching uncontrollably as he practically glared holes into the completely fake and embarrassing excuse for a dragon slayer and Fairy Tail mage.
There he was engaged in a perfectly suspicious conversation with the resident blue haired bookworm. Acting like it was perfectly normal. Like he deserved to be in her company. Hell Gajeel wasn't even sure if he himself even deserved to be around Levy after what he'd done to her, before he knew her.
But there was one thing he did know. Laxus would never deserve to be around her. Ever.
'But damnned be everything in Earthland if that spiky haired bastard didn't try' Gajeel thought remembering the day before when he'd woken with an unconscious Lily snuggled in his hair and a pounding hangover
After a few hours spent eating breakfast, a small pile of migraine pills, and taking a shower Gajeel took Lily with him while he went in search of Levy at the Guild Festival. Of course Lily said that he should just tell her, and so he listened to his best friend. He sought out the blue haired female, and, of course couldn't find her for the first hour and a half he was there.
"grah" Gajeel growled out shoveling a plateful of rice into his mouth and chewing vigorously as he pleasantly pictured every individual grain of rice as a screaming Laxus 'Mirajane's cooking seems strangely tolerable today' he thought feeling a delightful crunch as he chewed upon his fork, obviously hearing the sharp noises as the joyous sound of bones (more specifically Laxus's bones) breaking.
He knew his new found loathing of the Lightning mage went to a whole other level yesterday when he'd found Levy McGarden at the festival.
Of course, if he'd been there for the entire conversation, if he even truly cared what reason there could possibly be…he's sure it wouldn't have mattered, because either way, he hated everything about Laxus, the fact that he could be a possible threat just made that hatred intensify.
Sure it was one of the more innocent scenes he'd happened upon whist walking around empty alley ways, namely the night before, where he had seen nothing but Laxus's figure covering her's. The memory made him crazy with rage. But this one was different, and worse, in a way. He'd seen her, innocent hands aflutter, as she reached for and enveloped Laxus in one of those hugs he'd only received once. It wasn't one of the hugs she gave out like candy or even the kind she gave to Wendy or Lucy, it was definitely like the one she'd given him during the incident at Tenrou Island after he'd regained consciousness. It was something that promised things. And he hated that she was giving one to Laxus, of all people.
Gajeel took out the mangled fork from his mouth and began stabbing the old table
'And it's not like I could have taken out my fury by ripping off the failures' flesh, bit by bit either' he thought picturing the scene of the two together, again. It made him want to vomit truthfully. 'If I made a scene when she initiated something like that, and god forbid, hurt anyone she cared about, I'd be back at square one where she couldn't even handle being in the same fucking room as me' he thought stabbing through the corner of the table and breaking off a small chunk of wood from the table top
He stared at the chunk of wood that had fallen to the ground. He'd noticed it, that it was different from the rest of the wood because it had seperated from the rest of the table. 'it can't be...' he thought squinting at the block. It stood out when in reality it was the same chunk of wood that was always attached to this table '….No…it's that simple.'
'I need to be like this block' Gajeel thought, the cogs in his mind turning 'I cannot be like all those idiots that came before me' he thought, grinning manically at the slab of wood that sat helplessly on the floor 'I can't just tell her out right, that would be the same mistake everyone's been making' he thought chomping on a tin plate 'No, I have to be different' he thought a Cheshire grin blooming on his lips 'I have to be the one she falls for first, before I say anything' he thought happily, imagining Laxus' head crushed between his boot and a bed of spikes 'This is how I'll win Levy's heart' he thought laughing manically for (seemingly) no reason 'I'll have Levy and that static bastard will wither into oblivion' "Gi Hi Hi HI"
XXXxxxxxxXXX
Pantherlily just turned to Mirajane "Do you get what I mean?"
"Yes, yes of course" she nodded solemnly "Gajeel really cares a lot about Levy-chan" she said giving him a mug filled with an unusually frothy beer "Of course I'll help you manipulate-I mean, give Gajeel and Levy a 'push' in the right direction"
"Good I'm counting on you" Lily said clinking his mug with her glass of wine "You know" he commented after a while of staring at the white haired mage "I'm surprised people only refer to you as the 'Demon' of Fairy Tail, I'd think a more appropriate name would be the 'Shadow Puppeteer'"
"Well" Mirajane said giggling while she wiped down some plates "Shadow Manipulator is what Cana sometimes refers to me as, I am singlehandedly responsible for all of the romantic relationships that have formed and broken up within Fairy Tail" She said smiling at him
Pantherlily nodded at her, bowing "I am sorry for not taking into consideration your powers of manipulation, remind me to reconsider a battle with you, should the situation arise"
"Oh Pantherlily stop it" she said waving her hand haphazardly at him "I only use 'that' if things are already set in motion, I just help speed up the process"
"Well in any case" Lily said downing his drink and placing it back on the bar "you will tell me if anything happens?" he received a nod and hopped off the bar stool, heading towards Gajeel who's began laughing, rather loudly, even for the people of Fairy Tail. (Seriously even Natsu and the gang were staring) Pantherlily just sighed, having long grown accustomed to his best friend's mental workings 'He's probably imagining someone's slow and painful demise' he thought grinning a bit at his human 'Crazy Sadist, bet most people think he's bat shit insane'
xxxxXXXXXXXxxxxx
"Gajeel" Lily greeted climbing up on the bench with him "What's so funny?"
"GI HI Lily" he said his red eyes shining, a complete 180 from what he looked like that morning "Lily I've figured it out!" Gajeel said happily pulling Lily into his lap and rubbing the top of his head "By the way" he said as he seemingly attempted to run a bald patch into Lily's fur "Where have you been?"
"Getting some beer" he answered casually, wisely choosing to leave out Mirajane's eminent involvement in this situation
Review! Please? I updated twice :D
oh and your ideas for silly retarded things to happen at Fairy Tail would be appreciated :] (I have a few up my sleeve but new ideas are welcome)
