Levy just ran, ran toward fairy hills there no one would see her. Fast up the stairs and slamming the door closed. The tears just started to flow. What was this reaction, she have gone for 8 weeks and worried about him, crying over his disappearance. And now when she finally saw him again, she got a tongue-tied!? What is wrong with her! All she could see when she slammed the door open right in his face was his cute face. How good he looked in his long coat, but what got her reacting the most was the headband. The red headband he was wearing which held his long raven like hair back and away from his cute face. She felt her face burn of fire again. Why was she feeling like this!? It was nothing going on between them? They were just friends, nothing more. But the way he wore that headband remedied her of herself who always wore a bandana. She was definitely about to her about it in the guild later. But right now she could not go back there. She did not know if he was still there, how she would react. This was so complicated! She just had to talk to

Lu-Chan soon, this was making her crazy!

Next day "knight"

Over in Gazilles place the mood was no better. His head would not stop to pound and Lily was away to visit Porlyusica and hopefully get some new painkillers. And then he felt his stomach turn and he ran to the bathroom. After all his liquid dinner was out of his system he looked at himself in the mirror. The char fully visible and starring back at him from the reflection. Then it hurt again! This time it was unbearably, all he could do was to lie on the bathroom floor and scream in pain. It did not go away; it just continued to burn, it felt like salamander was trying to burn through his head or something. Just like that he heard someone knocking at the door. *not now, not now*, was everything he could think about right now. But he managed to lift himself up from the floor and taking on his headband, just in case.
He dragged himself to the door and opened it carefully to scream.
"WHO IS IT!?"
He did not get any answer. And when he didn't, he collapsed on the floor to hear a voice call for him,

Earlier that morning

Lucy was taking a morning shower as she always would do. Hoping for that Natsu and the others would not burst in to her apartments once again. But when she heard a knock on her door she quickly took on a towel and ran to the door. There she found Levy.
"Levy! What are you doing her so early?"
"I have to talk to you Lu-Chan." Levy sat down on the bed while Lucy got dressed.
"so what's on your mind Levy? It's not like you to visit me this early."
"it's just that, Gazille is back and I'm um."
"Levy-Chan! Don't tell me something is going on between you and Gazille?"
"NO NO! that's not it!" But Levy knew it was something like that, but I was no way she would confess that to Lucy!
"t's just that, I have worried so much about him these 8 weeks, and now when he is back I don't know what to do.."
"well Levy-Chan. If you want to know what I think you should do…" Levy knew this was coming.
"I think you should go and visit him."
"WHA? Just like that? No I could not. Just noo! What would I say? Just go and knock and ask how he is doing? No that's just too embarrassing. And I don't even know where he lives!""I bet Mirajane know where he lives. And if you think that way, why don't you give him a present or something? Like a welcome home present?"
"A present? But what would you give a Iron dragon slayer? I guess I could write some iron, but I heard that he is not supposed to eat solid food..
"why don't you give him a bandana? He had one in the guild yesterday, and he looked pretty good in it."
"It was not a bandana! it was a headband!" Levy screamed at Lucy.
"so you were looking at it too eh Levy-Chan?"
"umm yes I did, I mean who could avoid it. It is not like him to ware something like that."
"so it settled. You and I will go shopping and then YOU will go home to Gazille," Lucy said with a wide smile on her face. But Levy did not smile, she was too deep in thoughts about how she would react when Gazille opened the door. Later that day When Levy and Lucy were done shopping. "It was harder to find a present to someone like Gazille than you would think", Levy were on her way to the house Mirajane had given her direction to. It was not a friendly neighborhood if you would say so. Everywhere it was buildings that looked finished being tar down. And all kind of junk was all over the streets and weird looking people were looking at her from the alleys. It seemed like it was not normal to see a small weak girl wander the streets her. When she started to think if this was a so good idea or not she arrived at her destination. It was a long gray apartment building with all the windows blocked up, expect from one at the top. It looked like it was a garbage yard filled with different kinds of iron around the house. This was definitely the place where Gazille Redfox would live. When she finely had made her way to the door through all the scrap metal she gently opened the door to see a long pair of iron stairs that lead to the upper floor. At the top she faced a big wooden door with a small letter box in iron, it seemed to be handmade. Well this was it, just knock on the door Levy!
"WHO IS IT!?"
Levy froze, why did she not answer him? But then she heard a big slam from inside the apartment, she opened the door to see Gazille lying on the floor sweating and shivering.
"GAZILLE, GAZILLE!"
Gazille woke up from something wet against his forehead. He had trouble to see but he saw a blue spot. Shrimp?
"You really made me worried there Gazille. And my name is Levy, not shrimp".
"what a fuck are you doing in my apartment?"
"you fainted, properly from the high fever. You really were boiling! So I dragged you to what I think is you bed?" The apartment was almost like Levy had though it would be. It was just one big gray room. In one corner it was a small kitchen aria with a small table and one chair. And in the middle of the room it was a big couch with an iron table in front of it with a lot of iron gadgets on it, "properly his dinner". Now when she thought about it, it was difficult to see the floor expect for some spots because of all the iron junk. Gazille laid on madras behind the couch with only had one dirty blanked and no pillows!. How could he live like this!?
"waht is this on m head?"
"um, I did not find any ice so I did some myself."
that smile the bookworm was giving him, was making him hot inside. He felt something in his stomach; he just thought that he needed to puke again. But he didn't need to puke. It was something he never had felt before, and longer he looked at her, more the feeling in his stomach grew. Then he realized something, the headband!? Had she seen the scar? He started to panic and sat up so fast that their heads collided, Levy gave out a gulp of pain and Gazille hold on to his forehead. But to his surprise he felt that the headband were still there.
"I had to have something for the ice you know.. I could not lay the ice right on your head, in that case it would have been too cold. sorry if i ruined your headband" She smiled, how could she smile? He most has gotten her a brain concussion at least with that. But no, she just smiled and wrote a small word with ice and hell against her own head.
"um shrimp." Levy was taken aback by that comment but replied
"yes Gazille?"
"what is in that box of yours?" Levy had totally forgotten. She present she had with her!
"um um um, it's a.." Levy felt her face blush up but she just:
"it's for you!""
Gazille just looked at the box Levy was holding out for him. It was a small yellow box with a blue ribbon over it. When he grabbed it, it was light, yea it was definitely not iron. When he opened it he just stared at it, then at the extremely red crimp. In the box laid a green headband. It was big and wide with a yellow stripe going through it in a zigzag pattern. He did not know what to say.. what was he supposed to say?
"if you don't like it I can take it back?" Levy said so quit that even the dragon slayer had a hard time hearing it.
"DON'T!" Was all Gazille got out of his mount before he realized that he had screamed it out?
He to felt his ears heat up and he just hoped it was not going to show in his face. When Levy was supposed to say something the door was opened and Lily flew through it and landed on the couch.
"Am I interrupting something her"? Both Gazille and Levy blush up and looked at each other before Levy stood up and said.
"Sorry I have to leave, But I hope you will come to the guild tomorrow Gazille." Then she gave him that frigging smile of hers!
Gazille just stared at the door after she left.
"it seemed like I really did interrupt something." Lily giggled when he looked at the still paralyses dragon slayer.
"Mind your own damn business cat! And did you get some new painkillers!?"
