Chapter 10, finely hear is the day

It was the day before Christmas and everyone seemed so excited an happy! Not in just the guild but the whole town just screamed Christmas spirit. Everyone was making their last-minute shopping and so was 3 fairy tail mages, Levy, Lucy and Natsu.
The iron slayer was not with them because he was the reason they were here, to find a grate present for him. Levy had really thought about everything to give him but it was so hard, she didn't want to give him a piece of iron because she could figure that everyone was thinking about giving him that. She had brought Lucy to give her advice and asked Natsu because he maybe would know what a dragon slayer liked?
But Natsu knew just as much about Gazille as the rest of them, nothing more than that he liked iron and to hit people.

"Maybe we should give him a punching bag?"

"He would break that thing with two punches" Natsu sighed

"Well what is your great idea?" Lucy called out when Natsu dissed her great idea.

"Well why don't you just give him a big piece of iron Levy?"

"Because I want to find something special for him, everyone will give him iron"

Levy had started to get irritated when she for weeks had thought for a god present for him but here she was, last-minute, desperate trying to find something!
"Well this is starting to get boring!" Natsu signed as he really wanted to go home to Happy and finish his gifts for tomorrow.

"Levy you know that not so many will give him gifts anyway? so you could give him iron"

Levy suddenly stopped turning around watching Natsu with burning eyes.

"I am going to give Gazille the best Christmas ever and you are going to help me find a present that is not iron!"
Natsu shrugged back by the fears look she gave him and nodded nervously before they kept on looking.
She was not going to let Gazille down.

On the other side of town Gazille and Lily was sitting in Levy's apartment on the floor with big piles of metal around them.

"This is impossible!" Gazille roared as he threw a big piece of metal into the wall, cursing.

" Levy said she would be away for the whole day so you have time you know"

"But it have already been hours and I have done nothing more than dragged in all this iron into her apartment!" He was totally right about that, she would not be happy when she got back if they hadn't get rid of all this.

"So just try again" Lily said as he sat down on the couch when Gazille sat with his leg crossed on the floor with a new piece of iron in front of him.
~Okay,~ Gazille took a deep breath as he transformed his hand into a flat-nose tool and started to bend the iron as hard as he could until it got a round shape

"See that wasn't that hard? Now to the next one" Gazille took a new piece and started to bend it, Lily had talked him into giving a present to Levy so if he would give her one he wanted to make it himself.

~Fuck this is hard~ He thought as he really struggled to bend it. But he was not going to give up; he was going to give her a present which made her jaw drop! Gihi

Levy was exhausted but happy when she got home because she had found the perfect present, she could not wait to see his reaction tomorrow when they would open their presents at the guild!
She opened the door to see Gazille and Lily lying on the couch sleeping, they looked so cute witch Gazille hugging Lily like a stuffed animal and Lily actually looking like he liked it. She could not stop the "aaww" escaping her breath as she laid a blanked over the two, ~wonder what they have done all day to be this tired?~ She wondered, but then she just thought that they been training or something like that. She really hoped that tomorrow would bring both happiness and that Gazille would get the best Christmas ever.

The day came early as Christmas songs was heard all over town as it was Christmas morning in Magnolia.

"Wake up Gazille, and Merry Christmas!" Levy shook the little mage in his bed trying to get him to go up.

"It's Christmas!"

"I don't care, let me sleep dammit" he snored as he gave Levy a push out of the bed trying to get back to sleep.

"I am not going to give up that easy" she grabbed the blanked leaving him totally exposed to the cold air from the apartment.

"Okay, okay I'm up! Just give back the blanket or you will regret it shrimp!

Levy threw the blanket over Gazille before she went out into the kitchen to do a great Christmas breakfast; in the meantime Lily knocked on the door and joined them as Levy made eggnog.

"So what is this shit anyway?" Gazille asked as he looked at the yellow substance in his glass.

" um, let's see, egg, sugar and milk"

"what a fuck! You are saying that I am drinking raw eggs and milk!?"

"Yes, and sugar" Gazille spit out the eggnog and gave Levy a disgusting look before he took a big glass of milk to get the taste out of his mouth,

"Guess he's not into eggnog then?" Levy signed and looked at Lily.

"Well he is not into many things beside beer and iron."

" Well what's the plan for today then? As you both know I'm new at this celebrating thing and it seems that I'm not allowed to sleep all day ?"

" Well we usually celebrating at the guild for the whole day?"

"The whole frigging day with those morons, you are kidding right?"

"Gazille!" Lily roared and hit him in the back of his head

"Ao what a fuck was that for!?" He asked as he rubbed his sore head

"They are not morons, they are you guild mates so you should be happy celebrating with them"

Gazille just growled in return as he continued to rub his sore head, what was the big deal anyway, everyone knew he hated everyone so why would he change that just because it was Christmas? This whole thing was stupid, he knew that he would not get anything from anyone; no one could like him so why would he like anyone else? This whole thing was so fucked up that his brain hurt!

It took not long before all of them was on their way to the guild, Gazille with his hand in his pockets growling like he was going to jump and kill someone.

"What is it Gazille, can't you be happy just for one day?" Lily asked as he sat on the slayers head concerned for his partner.

"Why would I be happy just because it's the 24 of December?"

"Because you are breaking down our Christmas spirit with your bad mood"

"So why didn't you just leave me at home then?"

"Because Gazille, you are going to the guild or the master will notice"

Gazille remembered the conversation they had the other day and shrugged at the memory

"Okay I get that, but why for the whole day? Can't I just show up and then leave? "

"Gazille can you please stop complaining?" Levy signed as she opened the doors to the guild.

At least Gazille stopped complaining because he couldn't say a thing when he saw what had happened to the guild. Everything was so different, big banners hanged over the guild with the text (Marry Christmas) on them and it was obvious the color theme was green red and white. And it was red tablecloths over all tables and it was Christmas figures on all tables and over the open fire it hanged Christmas stockings. But what really caught his attention was the big spruce that stood in the middle of the guild; it really looked like it was on the hair shaft that they had gotten it true the doors! He was truly amazed and it was hard to amaze the iron dragon slayer but it seemed like they had made a god job on both him and the exceed on his head. Both of them looked totally stunned when they stood with their mouths open like two goldfishes which made Levy smile.

"So do you two like the decorations?"

" Everything is so, so"

"Happy" Gazille spit out as he snapped out of his dizziness. He had never seen anything like this, everyone was so happy and it really showed in the decorations and the whole spirit of the guild just screamed happiness. And his thoughts where confirmed when Levy was takled down by bunny girl screaming

"Merry Christmas Levy-Chan!"

"Merry Christmas Lu-Chan, you seem well."

Lucy where dressed in a short Santa dress and a Santa hat and long red bots. Levy followed the red theme in a red skirt and a thick knitted sweater, and Gazille also had a thick sweater but his was in black with a small red devil on it. Levy had tried to get him in more Christmas like clothes but he had as usual refused now when he got some clothes that fitted his personality and that he did not have to wear girl clothes anymore! But now when he looked closer he saw that it wasn't so many mages around, okay it was early in the morning but still it was so strange.

"Seems like we are not going to be so many this year either," Levy signed as she picked herself up from the floor

"Yea most have traveled away for Christmas but we are still quit many, I mean anyone is enough when it's fairy tail mages we are talking about right?"

" Any fairy tail mage is to much" Gazille growled as he went to the bar leaving the two girls alone.

"So Levy-Chan, do you think he likes it so far?"

" I think so? He looked really stunned when we walked in the doors"

"Well the day has just begun, so let's start to hammer some Christmas spirit into that thick skull of his"
Both of them were smiling as they caught up with Lily and Gazille at the bar.

"Okay I have to ask, what's up with the big spruce!?" Gazille roared as he looked up at the big tree that reached all the way up to the ceiling.

" It's a Christmas tree stupid" Levy giggled.

"Okay, but why is there all these stuff in it?"

" It's a tradition to decorate the tree with candy, Santa figures, and glitter. Well everything you can imagine really."

"Okay, I think I get the big picture" but really Gazille couldn't understand why anyone would like to drag a big tree inside to hang some weird things in it? This whole thing just made him more confused and he really didn't like the happy smiles on everyone's faces. Everyone looked like they had so much fun but Gazille felt more like sinking true the ground and disappear into the shadows he was used to but bookworm and bunny girl didn't seem to leave him alone. Through the whole day they were after him making him sing Christmas song, taste all different kind of weird food like Christmas pudding and omelet,

~ what is their problem just leave me alone!~ he growled as he for the 100 time tried to hide from the two mages.
~ wonder where that stupid salamander is? Haven't seen him in like hours? ~
Than all of a sudden the lights went off, everything went dark when the fire from the open stove started to go crazy flying out over the guild making all mages throwing themselves on the floor.

~ What Is going on~ Gazille thought as he transformed his arm into a sword. Than he heard something, something weird coming from the open fire-place.

" Ho, ho ,ho mina! "

Down the fire-place a dude in white and red clothes came down yelling ho, ho, ho, his belly was big and he had a long white beard and beside him a reindeer came flying? But something was of, the big fat man's hair was pink and the reindeer was blue?

"Merry Christmas everyone, do we have any nice mages hear?"

All the mages assembled around the person and his strange reindeer and laughed and answered in a shear "yes" ? What was going on?

"Well I have a lot of presents hear, do anyone want some?"

Everyone sheared and clapped their hands but Gazille still hide in his corner.
He watched as the person gave all the mages different package when greeting them merry Christmas, When Gazille noticed that the bag began to go empty and all the mages sat with their presents chatting with each other but no one had called his name yet. Well it wasn't a surprise but he could feel how it hurt in his chest. For some reason and he could hear Metalicana's words echo in his head.

" It's a celebration for people who love each other"

Of course he didn't get anything, he knew that no one loved him or even liked him for that matter. He squished the present he had hidden under his sweater, no one could ever love him, so why would he celebrate this stupid holiday?

"Gazille, where are you?" He could hear Levy yell his name when he stepped out from his shadows when the man in red clothes and his pet were gone and everyone sat opening their presents.

"What do you want?" He growled in return as he sat down next to her listening to everyone opening screaming and sharing.

"Well, umm hear!" in her hands she had a small package with yellow wrapping paper and a red string around it and a small note. Gazille stared at the small mage whose face was now red as she still had her hands outstretched avoiding his glare, he didn't know what to do more than take the package and stare at it.

"You are supposed to read the note first" Lily said eating his kiwi he had gotten from Happy.

Merry Christmas Gazille, I hope this will be a god first present love Levy 3

Gazille could not hold himself anymore when he started to rip of the paper to revile a small box, He started to tremble with his eye sight stuck at the item in the box.

"Do you like it?" Levy asked as she finely manage to take eye contact with him but the sight she met was not what she had imagine. Gazille looked up from the box staring at her with anger?

Gazille roared and threw the box at the wall making it crack and fall to the floor, Levy cried out as she ducked and hold her arm over her head.

"Are you crazy?" Lucy yelled as she ran up to Levy.

"You are the one who is Crazy! All of you are crazy morons who celebrate this stupid holiday!"

~ Gazille~ Levy thought as she watched the small iron dragon slayer yell at everyone who dared to come near him.

"Gazille calm down" The master said as he walked up to him

"I am not going to calm down old geezer! This is stupid! Why would I like to celebrate anything with you fools? I hate all of you!

"Gazille that enough!" the master yelled but he would not stop, it was too late for that, a green glow had started to appear under the small mage as he started to tremble even more and squeeze his fists in rage.

"I can never love anyone; I hate everything especially this sad excuse for a guild! I HATE ALL OF YOU!"

The green glow exploded over the guild making every glass explode, furniture's fall over and the Christmas tree to fall to the floor, everyone ran and screamed taking cover from the shock wave. Natsu and Happy came running into the guild looking at the chaos and the ruins of his guild, all mages had started to calm down since it was over, he was gone.

"What happened here?" he asked Lucy who was hiding behind the bar

"Gazille destroyed Christmas that's what happened" Lucy subbed as she on shaky legs stood up and watched the destruction, all the other mages didn't do more than agree with her and than all of them started to clean the mess up. Levy had crawled over to where Gazille had thrown her present and now sat on the floor holding the broken statue. She had thought she had found the perfect present for him. It was a dragon made of an iron like material and it fought against a man in shining armor, all of them had thought it was a perfect present. She could feel tears stream down her cheeks.
"What did I do wrong?" She sobbed as Wendy crawled up next to her hugging her tight.
