Chapter Four

"I swear to god if you throw a fucking party I won't even show up!" Gajeel growled to the fairies. His first day back at Fairy Tail was something to expect; excited people, drunks, party plans and a headache for Gajeel. Thought, his sudden outburst stopped the pre-celebration of his return. Gajeel sat at his usual table, and drank the usual alcohol almost as though he hadn't been missing for a month. Thank god. I honestly expected more. Like, ya' think they'd KNOW when I'd be back and surprise me. They'd give me a fucking heart attack and a trip back to the hospital.

Oh god please don't sit next to me.

"Hey, metal-head!" He screamed, even though he sat right next to him. Gajeel already felt the headache and he hasn't been there for ten minutes.

"Salamander." He began, "Do me the biggest favor you could ever do and shut the fuck up."

"Maybe later." You are a fucking idiot, salamander. "Hey, you wanna fight me?" he asked, soon standing on the table. Gajeel sighed, wanting to just push him of—a cliff, not the table.

"As much as I wanna pulverize you, Salamander, I'm not going to."

"Aww, why not?" He whined, siting back down.

"I literally just got out of my leg cast. What do you mean why?"

"But I wanna fight- FOOD!" Natsu jumped up to see Mira, in a good mood, serving everyone free lunch. Natsu disappeared faster than Gajeel was able to turn around. He put his head down on the table, wanting to go home. Who knew the guild missed me…so much? Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It's an annoying thing, that's for sure. I don't think I can take any more of this-

"Gajeel!"

He jumped, turning to see her. A flash of memory had passed his eyes. That dream…

She sat down, next to him, absolutely delighted to finally see him again, "You're all better!" She reached out to grab him, holding his arm in her arms. She was so small and delicate compared to just my arm. Hell, she's small compared to anything, really. Anything smaller than her is bigger than her for fucks sake…she was the one that called my name…why does she have a bandage on her face?

"What happened to your face?" Gajeel asked, making the small girl blush, then turn her head, "Oh no, you're in on this too, ain't ya'?"

"Eh, in on what?" She turned back to him, "I fell down the steps, no biggie, I'm fine!"

"Whatever you say, shrimp." Gajeel laughed as "shrimp" lightly punched his arm. They then sat in silence as Mira served them both lunch. A chicken sandwich covered in sauce with a side of vegetables and mashed potatoes. No iron. Lily told her, god damn.

I didn't think I'd last this long without iron. Holy shit.

And enter the asshole and his three fucking stalkers. I can't help but fucking glare him down. He's wearing jeans that had holes at the knees, and some red t-shirt. And that dumb jacket he always wears on his back—PUT IT ON. Goddamn how does it even sit up like that!? What's the fucking point of having a jacket on your back 24/7 and not once actually wearing it!? Last winter this asshole came in through a snowstorm wearing a different fucking jacket. FUCK this guy.

And now Freed. He's twice as gay as I remember. He's finally come out apparently, as if no one knew he was gay in the first place. Don't get me wrong; I can fucking tell if someone's gay or not. Like three people at Phantom Lord I knew were gay before they knew it. Totomaru was the first out of the three. At that guild, at least half the people there were some form of gay. Funny, they were all my friends. The straight guys were fuckin' weirdos. And I'M straight.

Evergreen's dress today looks like she shaved Laxus' hair legs and wrapped them to herself with a roll of duct tape. Well that's just to me.

Bixlow needs to put his fucking tongue back in his fucking mouth. Once, he fell asleep on the top floor with it hanging out, and I, being the unlucky one underneath him, had to wash out the saliva that rolled down his tongue into my hair. And Laxus will never let me live that down. Laxus fucking just ran his hands through my hair.

"You think your hair's clean yet?"

His posse laughed. She grunted, and I of course said nothing. Do you know what this asshole can do to me? If he wanted to, he could strip me and beat me nude right fuckin' HERE…well he did that to Natsu, I know that, I just wasn't here to see that. Bless.

I just want to knock him out one day. Just punch him in the gut and make him throw up his breakfast. I wanna spit in his fucking hair and wash it out with fucking mud and then we'll see how he fucking likes that.

Until that day, I am forced to sit and growl with Levy.

AN; Short chapter today, sorry. I did enjoy making Gajeel so angry at Laxus tbh. You will see more of this, I promise! You'll also see more of Levy, and Gajeel adjusting to being back at the guild. Not to mention his dreams!
