Don't Give Up On Me
A Gajeel x Lucy story…
Dedicated to Music; Thanks for those fun nights when you gave me those catchy tunes to listen and dance to.
Song: Fool with dreams – Framing Hanley
Gajeel walked down the hallways of school, ignoring the criticizing stares. He quickened his pace as he entered the school's cafeteria. Opening the large doors, he looked around the room. Spotting the one he was after, he made his way over to the crowded table. People scurried out of his way while others shot him curious and frightened glances.
He had finally reached the table and he swore he'd had almost everyone in the cafeteria's attention. He crouched behind a blonde so he could easily whisper in her ear. She tensed when she felt someone's breath on her ear but instantly relaxed once his smooth voice rolled out of his pierced mouth.
"Can you meet me at the hall in five minutes? I need to show you something…" He anxiously mumbled into her ear and received a nod in return. She turned around and smiled at him. "I'll see you in five." She clarified and with that, he turned around and walked away.
They had been going out for a week, Lucy and him. Things were going smoothly but Gajeel was slightly worried. He wasn't the best looking boy in the school, or the smartest, or richest. He couldn't spoil her like a princess, or teach her new things she probably didn't know, he couldn't even bring her out without being constantly stared at. She deserved the world and all he could give her was his heart.
It amazed him greatly when she didn't reject him. How would want to date a pierced punk like him? He certainly didn't think someone as popular and beautiful as her would.
He let out a sigh, running his hand through ragged black hair. He entered the large school hall, making his way towards the stage where four of his friends waited. "Stripper, I clearly heard you call me stupid! Do you wanna fight? 'Cause you know I'm all fired up!" A loud, pink-haired teen yelled at another with spiky black hair.
"Bring it on! I'll wipe this stage with your face, it might improve it!" Natsu and Gray got into a fighting stance, completely ignoring the fact that they had Guitars strapped around their shoulders. "Oi morons, I don't give a shit if you fight, but if you break those guitars, I'll personally break you." Lexus said from his position behind the drum kit.
Gajeel hopped onto the stage, attracting all their attention. "She'll be coming soon. And I know you wouldn't purposely try to fuck this up, but if you do, I'm going to have to hurt you." He stated casually, the other males shivered at how serious he was. "Trust me, this will work out. But I just want you to know, if you ever hurt Lucy, we will all have to kill you." An orange-haired teen spoke as he wired up the electric keyboard.
"Loke, I know. But I want you all to know, I would never hurt her. Not Lucy." The four boys smirked at Gajeel, knowing what he spoke was the truth. "I can't believe you're doing something like this. It's kinda…weird, for someone like you to do something this emotional." Gray said whilst looking over his music sheet, memorising the notes and chords.
"Shut up…"Gajeel mumbled with a slight blush. The halls doors opened and a group of people stumbled in. In front of the group was his blonde girlfriend. Their eyes met and she cast him an apologetic look. 'Sorry, they just kind of tagged along.' He let out a sigh as he read the situation through her eyes.
Gajeel walked to the front of the stage, grabbing the mic. "Well… This wasn't really a show for everyone, but seeing as you're all here, I guess I can't tell you to fuck off." When no one moved Gajeel let out a frustrated sigh. He ignored the chuckles of his friends behind him; now everyone was going to see him acting emotional.
"Fine then, this song is for Lucy. I know I don't deserve you, but please don't give up on me." Lucy sat in the front row with her head tilted to the side; there was no way she was going to leave him, if only he knew how much she cared.
Gajeel turned around and signalled the four males to start. Smooth, calming music sounded throughout the hall.
"LaaLaLaaLa~" Loke and Gray sang through the mic's beside them.
"You're a diamond; how I found you I still don't know. But now I got you and I'll never let you go. If your heart's a pocket looking for some change, my heart makes lots of sense." Red eyes stared deeply into Hazel eyes as a smooth, beautiful voice rang out.
"Just stay quiet, breathe deep, breathe out, breathe slow. Don't say a word, let our eyes speak and they will tell you." I love you, but you deserve better.
"I'm a fool with dreams and not a lot of things. I swear that I will be all you need, don't give up on me. Give me one more day, don't give this all away. We'll be fine you'll see, just don't give up on me." I know I'm no prince charming, but if you'll stay, I'll make it worth it.
"I'd be lying if I said that I'm not terrified. Well, how the hell can I do as they say and take this all in stride? Does this come with an instruction book? If so, I'll need to have a look." I've never met someone like you before, and I don't know what I'm feeling. But if you give me some time and stay by my side, it will all work out alright.
"Just stay quiet, breathe deep, breathe out, breathe slow. Don't say a word, let our eyes speak and they will tell you.
I'm a fool with dreams and not a lot of things. I swear that I will be all you need, don't give up on me. Give me one more day, don't give this all away. We'll be fine, you'll see, just don't give up on me. Don't give up on me." You deserve someone who can give you the world, but I can't give you that. I promise though, that I'll keep your heart safe and never let it go.
"I know you're scared inside but baby, so am I. I swear that I will be all you need, I'm not going nowhere. I'm not going nowhere." I'll protect you from those who will harm you. I'll greet you every morning and be by your side every night. I'll kiss you when you need one, hug you when you're scared, whisper in your ear when you need reassurance and love you with everything I have.
"I'm a fool with dreams and not a lot of things. I swear that I will be all you need, don't give up on me. Give me one more day, don't give this all away. We'll be fine you'll see, you'll see, you'll see.
I'm a fool with dreams and not a lot of things. I swear that I will be all you need, don't give up on me. Give me one more day, don't give this all away. We'll be find you'll see, just don't give up on me." The crowd stared in awe at the singing teenager. Never would they have expected this from someone like him, not from the pierced punk with a bad reputation.
"Don't give up." I love you, don't give up on me.
Everyone applaud and cheered once the song died down, but Gajeel wasn't paying any attention to them. His eyes were still locked with hazel ones. Lucy got up from her seat and walked up the stages stairs. Once in front of Gajeel, she reached her hand up and lovingly stoked his cheek. He wrapped his hands around her waist and hers found their way around his neck. They stared into each other's eyes, trying to get their message and emotions across.
A smirked made its way to his face as he lent down and connected their lips. She got the message and she was never going to leave him.
Sup hoe? Hope you liked the story... I was meant to publish it a while back, but I kinda got distracted :)
To me, this story seems a bit more sappy then usual... Also, Gajeel is a bit out of character, but not much - I think - because he loves music and singing, and I can picture him doing this - kinda. Haha.
Yes, so... The reason I haven't been posting any one-shots is because I've been working on my Zombie Apocalypse story - Make Me Feel Alive - but do not worry little one, I just got flooded with ideas for one-shots, so I'll probably be posting more - along with my story, because I don't wanna disappoint fans, I'm so nice xP
SEND IN SOME REQUESTS, BECAUSE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS WANNA READ :D
Expect a Jellal x Lucy fic soon... I wasn't going to do one for the fact that he's practically with Erza, but I do love this crack pairing, so I'm doing one anyway... Gee, I'm such a bad-ass.
Now I'm going to stop being up myself and go... Hope you enjoyed, goodbye!
Less Than Three,
Mayzie x
