I normally don't write something that is so current in the manga, I just wanted to make sure that I don't ruin anything for anyone. I hate when that happens to me, therefore I will make a fool out of myself to not do that to other people.
Air by Hellberg, Teqq & Taylr Renee: Mr FijiWiji remix
Featuring the (now cannon) adorableness of Gajeel and Levi
Rated: T
If there was one thing that I have ever taken for granted, it was breath and air.
It took all air being taken from me and replaced by a black-poison water for me to realize that.
When the water crashed around the corner and my body reacted before I could react. I took in the deepest breath before the black water swallowed me. The second that it surrounded me, I knew that this water held many of my friends lives.
I was already caught in the water. I was still processing that the exit is far beyond my abilities to get to, but my body was quickly swimming towards the direction the water came from.
Maybe, just maybe, I would be able to help him.
Gajeel is fighting.
I know it in my gut.
The thought of Gajeel fighting without air pushed me towards him.
He always saves me, now it is my time to save him.

I blink my eyes open, only to slam my eyes shut due to the bright light.
"Oi, Shrimp, you awake?" I feel a pressure on my shoulder.
I ignore the bright light and open my eyes and bolt upright.
He is beat up, gashes and water all over him. I wasn't too late. If I was, then he and I would be dead by now.
I ignore the stiffness in my body and leap towards him, "You are alright!" I hug around his neck. He grunts at the sudden movement and possible pressure on bruises or broken bones.
"Yeah, Shrimp, I'm fine. You are lucky that you are too," He pushed me off of him so he could glower at me.
I smile sheepishly in response.
"If it wasn't for you, that shark freak would have killed all of us. You were really big today," he mutters the praise. He doesn't give compliments out that much, so I was going to take it as it was intended. I inhale the clean air with a deep breath. I am not going to take this for granted too.
"Okay, now that I have you here," I fiddle with my fingers, avoiding eye contact with him.
"Shrimp," It sounded like an acknowledgment that I started saying something to him.
I look up and meet his piercing red eyes, "I've always loved you."
His hard features fall to reveal something that I can only describe as tender.
"I've always loved you," I repeat, thinking that he may have frozen, "Ever since you first came to Fairy Tail and took Laxus lightning for me."
He grabbed me and pulled me close. I gasp, thinking that there was something wrong. I hear him mumble into my shoulder, "What took you so long?"
I laugh, "I was right there, in front of you the whole time. I was waiting on you to see the signs I was giving you and recognize what the rest of your life looks like," I return his embrace. A weight has been lifted off of my heart. I finally said it to him, and he seems to return my feeling.
"I must confess," Gajeel started and pulled away, "I have never once enjoyed seeing you hurt. I think that might be the same as" he pauses and gulps, unsure if he wants to continue, "love."
I didn't think, I reacted to his confession. I grab both sides of his face and crash my lips onto his. He wraps both of his arms around my back and pulls me tighter to him.
I've exposed and laid out my secret: my heart doesn't stand a chance. But thankfully, I chose to trust my heart to the Iron Shadow Dragon Slayer. There is no place in the world that it would be safer.
Why? Because GaLe is adorable
Why so soon? Because the second that I saw that manga page, this song popped into my head. I had to finish Think Twice before I posted this one though.
Why to a dubstep song? It doesn't have that many words, so it makes for a cute short little story.
Why should you review? Because it makes me smile.
See you next time,
Amber
