Sorry for making you wait so incredibly long! I had a lot going on, the longer explanation is at the bottom! ;)

Enjoy!


"So that's what happened, huh?"

the script mage nodded her head softly. Her tears had stopped streaming down, but the two females were still embraced.

That makes things quite a bit more complicated than she first thought...Judging from what his exceed had said earlier, that would mean he shares the same feelings for her. Which would explain why he didn't want her to know about the Phantom Lord incident, but then why didn't he tell her about her own confession? Could it be that he was...afraid?

"This is really messed up you know...But I'm afraid he already went home, so why don't you just come with me to Fairy Hills, and then you can see him tomorrow?"

"Fairy Hills? That's the dormitory, isn't it?"

"Yes, you and I both live there, didn't Gajeel tell you?"

She nodded slowly, he had indeed told her, but she kept forgetting again since this was all confusing her so much.

"Alright then...Will you come with me tomorrow?" She already knew the situation, so wouldn't she want to help? Little did Levy know that the beautiful women in front of her was usually grumpy, and lately often drunk...

"I'm sorry, Levy, but I've got some other things to be concerned about...Will you be able to handle it yourself?" She just didn't want to be mixed up in other people's relationships, it was as simple as that. Or so did she let herself believe...In fact she just didn't want to think of anything that could remind her of that man-crazy idiot who had such a strong grip on her heart.

The bluenette looked up with her big brown eyes, that were slowly getting filled with new tears; the ultimate weapon cute girls could use. She had seen Wendy use it on Natsu once so he would come with her and carla on a swing. So this girl could do it too...

And then she gave in, God had she become weak...

"Fine, I'll go with you, but don't expect me to hang around with you people all day!"

The tears in her eyes immediately disappeared and her pouting mouth turned into a beaming smile.

"Thank you so much, Evergreen-san!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's just go home..."


The brown haired card mage woke up with a huge headache, what the hell was in that crater yesterday? Lately, alcohol had become heavier for her to bear and it made her all the more frustrated.

Why hadn't she ever noticed? Why hadn't she ever payed attention to her feelings? In all those years that her father was gone, did she truly never notice? Or was she just too fixed on telling her father the truth, that she never acknowledged what it truly meant?

Laxus. Lisanna.

It was for some reason normal to hear those two names together. They sounded better that way. 'Laxus' alone sounded so lonely, and 'Lisanna' alone made her think back about her 'death'.

They belonged together. She couldn't come between them.

It hurt her to think like that, but somehow, she didn't mind. The thought of actually going after a guy who doesn't like you...She didn't want to do it. She'd become like Porylusica, that woman obviously had a thing for their master, but she never told him, and in the end lost because he began a family. Would it be like that with her? She didn't want to think about it, but love wasn't meant for her. Or rather, she wasn't meant for love, wasn't meant to love.

It's like with her father, Gildarts, she'd spend so many years trying to find the courage to tell him. And now she had told him, and he loved her with all his heart, as if he was trying to make up for all the years he hadn't been able to. And she, she just pushed him away. It felt too awkward to actually treat him like a father, yet she was grateful that he let Laxus join the guild once again.

And then she made a decision, she wouldn't love anyone anymore. Never again, nobody unless her beer. And her cards. And her father. And her guild-mates. God, that was messed up.

While thinking, she had made her way to the guild, and had arrived just in time to see two girls walking in. Why were these two together? They didn't usually do that...


They walked over to a table, and the eldest one of the duo stood up and walked over to the bar, probably to order their breakfast.

"Good morning, Evergreen-san! How are you doing today?" Mirajanes voice rang and it only bothered the woman.

"Mornin'..." she grunted, the night hadn't exactly been filled with much of sleep for her.

"That doesn't sound all too happy, is something the matter?" the white haired women asked in a worried and innocent tone, but who knew what intentions were hidden beneath it...

"None of your business, just get me mine and Levy's usual breakfast, and a big cup of beer"

"Alright...coming right up..." Off course she would've liked to protest and make her spoil what was bothering her, but noticing that the woman was helping Levy, she remained silent.

Evergreen left the bar and walked over to the table Levy was seated in. Jet and Droy weren't yet at the guild, so they weren't there to swarm around her like flies, in fact, there were barely any people present in the guild.

She looked around, trying to do it as slowly as possible, but very much failing. Too bad...He's not here... She thought as she dropped her head slightly.

"Evergreen-san, you're back already!" said the book-loving girl on a happy yet surprised tone.

"Yeah, Mira will bring breakfast to our table when it's ready"

"Oh...Okay..." She had noticed the taller woman being in a worse mood than before and didn't dare speak much, but the woman herself asked a question that forced her into conversation.

"So, seen Gajeel yet?"

"No...Not yet...You don't suppose he left on a mission, do you?" It would be weird, but it was possible, and that worried her. She just didn't want him to leave.

"No, I guess not, he didn't take a request yesterday, so it'd be strange if he were" she tried to soothe the younger girl, but heavily failed. It just wasn't in her nature to be nice to people...

Then Cana went over, she was way too curious to why they were suddenly so close.

"What'ya doin'?" she asked while casually dumping herself on the chair

"Just...talking" Evergreen stated in a slightly nasty tone.

"talking? 'Bout what?"

"Just stay out of it, Cana!" She knew all too well that she would just try to win bets with this, and didn't want her to know of anything.

"Why so groggy, Evergreen? And that after we had such a nice conversation yesterday?" the cardlady grinned, she'd surely get her with this.

"That was not a conversation! Just some ridiculous statements by the both of us! And don't you dare tell anyone about it!" She only vaguely remembered what they had said, but it was enough to know that she had spilled some of her personal feelings for Elfman, so it quite pissed her off.

"Tshk, whatever..."

"Don't be so careless, I mean it! I'll kill you before you have the chance to tell anyone!"

And so started the verbal bitchfight between the two brunettes, while our little Levy was silently sitting in between, waiting for breakfast to get served.

Only when she heard Evergreen denying Cana the right to know what was going on, she asked "Why mustn't she know, Evergreen-san?" Just out of curiosity.

"Well...Because..." she had planned to make a clear statement as to why not, but they had reached the hour when most of the people in the guild arrived. Including a certain white haired man, which drew her attention to him, made her heart race and her mind go blank.

Cana followed her eyes and when she saw the objective of attention, she just burst out in laughter.

"WHAHAHAHA, that's WHAAHAH such a HAHAH heavy FAIL! Whahaha!"

And the fairy-loving women realized she had indeed failed her plan, and was defeated in the discussion. She would have to tell her now... Deciding the best way to tell her without Levy hearing it was to whisper it in her ear, she went closer, held her hand before her mouth and told the cardmage the situation.

Her jaw dropped. She had NOT seen this coming...

And that was when Lucy also arrived. She had succeeded in dragging Natsu out of her house and making him come to the guild with her, where he was arguing with Gray at that moment.

She walked over at the table where she saw her best friend sitting, the blonde was quite surprised to see that Evergreen was there too, and became curious to what the woman had just told her former partner.

"Hey girls, what are you whispering about?"

Evergreen was taken back by the sudden question and didn't know how to respond, but Cana took the lead and simply answered.

"Gajeel is being a jerk"

One of Lucy's brown went to her hairline, the other one frowned, Why's that news?

Seeing her reaction, Cana added "Or rather, the biggest asshole in the universe"

"Lucy immediately looked at Levy to see if it had anything to do with her, since she had known for a while that her blue-haired friend had a crush on the dragon slayer. But the girl in question was only looking at Mirajane who was happily skipping over with the ordered breakfast.

Cana and Evergreen nodded and decided to tell Lucy before Mirajane would have chance of hearing it. They quickly pulled Lucy closer and the cardmage whispered it in her ear as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, the barmaid had seen them whispering and heard Lucy's "WHAAAAAT?" as a response. There was no other way than that that was a very interesting and shocking news. She wouldn't let this chance pass her by.

"Hello everyone, may I know what it is you are all so overwhelmed about?" the white haired lady asked sweetly as she placed the plates on the table before them.

When the girls kept silent, Mirajane's innocence quickly disappeared and a dark glare spread upon her face. This would make them talk. And yes, they trembled for a second before Lucy jumped up and quickly whispered the story in her ear.

At first her reaction was blank. But only for a second.

The death glare returned and the demon the young girls had hoed to have prevented from appearing showed u none-the-less.

How DARE he? He didn't even tell her the girl had amnesia! And she had asked them how she was! And how DARE he keep such valuable information to himself! She had the right to know she loved him!

At that moment, the group of friends feared for their lives and the lives of anything within 10 feet of the demon. However, a certain green haired man had seen what happened and arrived just in time to stop all chaos. Doing that by simply hugging her tightly from behind, and whispering her name softly so that only she could hear.

Her frown softened and for a moment she looked sad, it was nicer to be a cheerful lady than to be a hateful demon. She didn't like being in that form...

Slowly her transformation disappeared and she became herself again. Turning her head she saw the face of her rescuer, not that she hadn't recognized the voice, but she loved that face too much...

"Freid..." she said in a tone that could be called a whisper too "I'm sorry..." it was almost a sob, but no one could really hear it, just see her chest rising in an uneven rhythm.

"It's okay, I'm here now..." he spoke as he put his chin on her shoulder, feeling the woman he loved most put her arms around her belly where he was holding her and softly squeezing his hands in hers.

She dropped her head to the side to lovingly give him a kiss on the cheek.

The girls were all relieved that she had calmed down, and looked in awe at the scene that was taking place before them. Those two really were a great couple...

As they looked around they noticed the usual brawls had started and Levy was silently eating her breakfast, not seeming to pay any attention to the world around her. So they decided that if they spoke quietly, nobody else should be able to hear their conversation.

They stepped a little closer and told Freid as well since they all felt like he deserved being told after saving them from his girlfriends' rampage. Not that they knew it, but as Freid was trying to match the iron dragon slayer and the bookworm, this was very valuable information to him.

Just after they were done speaking and Freid had taken a moment to think about Gajeels' reasoning for his actions, the said dragon slayer walked in the guild with Pantherlily behind him.

He immediately spotted the strokes of blue hair that was peacefully eating her breakfast. She was sitting with her back to him, but he could see she wasn't very cheerful at that moment. He also noticed the group of people around her.

And the death glares they were pointing at him.

He realised that they knew, he had no idea how they discovered it, but they knew.

Having nothing come into his mind, he blankly stared back at hid nakama, and the only word he could get out of his mouth was:

"...Fuck..."


Hi guys!

First of all, I am SO SO SO SO SORRY for making you wait so long!

And I know, this chapter isn't exactly how I had told you it would be, SORRY AGAIN!

But there was a lot going on in my personal life, so I didn't have much time. Aside from that, I also kinda bumped into a writers block...I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn't want to rush it, so I was kind of forced to make this a chapter with barely anything happening in it... SORRY!

I'm gonna try to make up for the late update by posting the next few chapters in...I dunno, maybe a week or so... So I'm gonna try to start the next chapter tomorrow morning, hopefully to get it finished by the evening. I wish I could write it now but it's twenty-seven past twelve AM so I think it's best if I go to sleep now...

I hope you don't mind too much that I'm so late!

And remember, if you review, I'll get the vie to write again! ;)
