BlackLynx17: Another one bites the dust!

Fairy Tail Hotel

Mr. and Mrs. Redfox

"Jet, Droy, Jet, Droy wake up, wake up!" Levy says shaking them gently.

Jet and Droy stir around and lean up, eyes wide and alert, but relaxing when they see who it is waking them up.

"Levy? What time is it?" Jet yawns.

"Yeah, why are we up so early?" Droy seconds.

Levy giggles, "because it's my wedding sillies."

"Oh, are you still marrying him today? Even though you had that huge argument yesterday?" Jet asks.

"Of course I am, I still love him. Besides, Gajeel left a dozen messages on my phone apologizing. I've worried him enough, I'm going to go see him before getting ready. I suggest you two start getting in the shower." Levy tells them.

"We're good, its' only... 8am. Two more hours couldn't hurt," Jet groans lying back in bed.

"Yeah, we won't be late. Set an alarm for us, will yeah Levy?" Droy snoozes.

Levy rolls her eyes and walks away from them, shaking her head. How hard is it to wake up in the morning? Seriously? It isn't that difficult.

"If you two are late for my wedding I'm never forgiving you." She says grabbing her jacket off the chair.

"Okay," they recite together.

"Thanks for letting me stay here and cool down last night, see you two soon!" Levy waves opening the door.

She doesn't hear a response as she closes the door behind her. She wraps her jacket around her waist and kicks her shoes on better, the back part bending under her heel. She walks down the hall towards the elevator door and sees it about to close on her.

"Hold on, hold it please!" She yells running for it.

He doesn't hold it, but she makes it anyway shoving her foot in just when the door closes. Levy looks up panting and glares before she gasps.

"Hey, didn't you hear me- Gajeel? Gajeel! I was just coming to see you! What are you doing up so early?" Levy asks getting inside of the elevator.

Gajeel stares at her.

"Listen, I got all your messages this morning. I forgive you for yesterday, but you really need to learn to trust me. We're getting married for Pete's sake, what type of marriage is it going to be for us without trust?"

"None."

Levy blinks, "excuse me?"

"None. There's no marriage between us, and there never will be."

Levy feels her entire body go cold, "wha-what? What are you talking about Gajeel? What's going on-"

"I knew it wasn't my imagination, I knew it wasn't all in my head. I can't believe this though, I can't believe you would do this to me." Gajeel laughs darkly.

"Gajeel what are you talking abou- ah!" Levy screams.

Gajeel punches the elevator wall, "I SAW YOU TOGETHER!"

Her fingers are shaking. She can't stop them. She can't stop her body from shaking as she stares at the man that's supposed to be the love of her life. She's scared of him though, right now... she's afraid.

"I thought you loved me, I loved you, I can't believe, it was all fake. Maybe not fake, but I could never compare, right? I'm just a nobody! Just some charity case you saw when you were trying to discover yourself and do right in the world bull shit. I never should have fallen for it."

"Gajeel whatever you're thinking right now I don't-"

"Why are you still playing innocent?! It's pissing me off! Stop lying to me Levy! Tell me! Just tell me the god damn truth! Tell me where you were last night! Tell me what room you just came out off!"

Levy's eyes widen and she shakes her head side to side, "no Gajeel! It wasn't like that! You're mistunder-

"I was waiting for you all night! I was worried my ass off, scared that you finally got tired of me! I got so desperate, didn't want to worry your parents, so I went to your so called 'best friends' to ask for help and what did I see?! Tell me Levy!"

"Gajeel! Listen! I was upset! I just spent the night! Nothing happened-"

"LIAR!" Gajeel shoves her away.

Levy crashes against the elevator wall and falls down, clutching her pounding head. Gajeel's eyes widen and he stares at his hand. What did he just do? He didn't mean- why did he do that?

"Gajeel, please. I know it was an accident-"

"Stay away from me, the wedding is off." Gajeel growls down at her.

His eyes are closed off and filled with hatred, exactly like the first time she ever met him. The elevator door opens and Gajeel goes storming off. Levy stays there and covers her face, crying into her hands.

What had just happened?

Jet and Droy jump up when they hear loud crying. The door slams shut and they look up to see Levy running past their beds to the bathroom before the door closes behind her again. Immediately the two of them look at each other and then at the clock. It's only been ten minutes. What in the world could have happened in ten minutes?

"Levy!" Jet yells jumping out of his bed.

"Levy! What's going on?!" Droy asks following after.

They both stand outside of the bathroom knocking on the door, trying to coax her out. Levy sits on the floor leaning against the door, loud and ugly sobs escaping from her lips as she rubs her cheeks furiously.

"He broke up with me!" Levy cries out.

Jet and Droy both freeze, "what?!"

"Gajeel! The wedding is off! He doesn't want to marry me anymore! He didn't trust me! He's probably never trusted me! He probably never even wanted to marry me! Why didn't I see it before? Of course he didn't, especially since he missed so many of our meetings! I was just too blinded thinking I would be able to marry the love of my life! I'm so stupid!" She cries out loudly.

Droy blinks and grabs Jet by his arm, pulling him away from the door.

"Do you hear this?" He asks.

"Yeah, our planned worked. Levy broke up with that loser." Jet grins.

"Dude, do you not hear her crying in the bathroom? We hurt her."

"Droy, what did you think was going to happen as we tried to break up the wedding?"

"I wanted her to realize that Gajeel was no good for her and break up with him happily, not cry her eyes out as he just broke her heart. We need to fix this."

"Are you kidding me? We can't do that-"

"Do you not hear her? We can't let her be like this! Jet... we're bad people."

"Droy-"

"No, listen to me. We're bad friends. Levy trusted in us, she believed in us. She always stood by our side no matter how many times Gajeel picked on us, and yeah he's a prick, but he made her happy. Jet... I can't do this. I can't have her crying like this... we never should have done this, I don't want her this way."

Jet scrunches his eyes together and looks at the door, his face crumbling. He knows he's wrong, he knows Droy's right.

"Shit, what did we do?"

"We put our happiness above our friend's thinking that it was best for her when it was really best for us."

Jet groans and runs his hand down his face, "she's going to hate us."

"Rather us than him. Come on, we have to fix this. Gajeel broke up the wedding, so he must be on his way to check out. Quickly run to his room and keep him there, I'll tell Levy everything."

"No way! Not fair! I'm going to get my ass whooped! You go deal with Gajeel, I'll tell Levy."

"You're wasting time! Your faster than me Jet, you can dodge any attack he throws! Hurry up! We have to fix this before it's too late and we ruin today's wedding."

"More."

"Yes! More than we already have, now go!" Droy yells.

"Fine! Dammit, I do not want to have a black eye during pictures," Jet says running out of the room.

Droy takes a deep breath and walks back to the door, knocking on it.

"Levy?"

All he hears in reply is her cries.

"Levy, Gajeel loves you. He wants to marry you-"

"DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR EVERYTHING I JUST CRIED?!"

"No really, listen. Jet and I, we really love you Levy. All we wanted was the best things for you, and we didn't think Gajeel was that person for you. We've... we've been trying to destroy your relationship for years now, and when we heard you guys getting married we decided to take it a step up. Levy... the reason why Gajeel never showed up for any of those meetings is because we never told him, or called him saying you canceled them, or a lot of terrible excuses. It's not that Gajeel didn't want to go, he just didn't know."

The crying stops.

"I'm sorry. Jet and I are really sorry. We didn't think... we weren't considering your feelings at all. It wasn't your fault, it wasn't his fault, it was ours. We're trying to fix this though, Jet and I. Come on, come with me to Gajeel and let me explain everything."

The door slowly opens and Levy appears from behind it, tears still in her eyes. She begins laughing humorlessly and shakes her head.

"Droy... it doesn't even matter anymore. You guys may have done that, but the argument on the elevator... you weren't there. He doesn't trust me. If he broke up with me over something like this and didn't even listen to me... we never would have lasted. I should be thanking you guys for saving me."

She shouldn't be smiling. She shouldn't be saying what she is saying. Dammit Droy messed up big time, hugely.

"No Levy, you know that's not true! It's our fault!"

"Yes, but it is also my own, and Gajeel's. How can we be together without trust?"

"Levy! Dammit, come on! We're gong to see him! We're going to get everything figured out!"

"There's no point, nothing is going to change!"

"So help me Levy I will get you to him even if I can to carry you kicking and screaming!"

"Shit! Calm down- ah! Stop it! Put that lamp down right now!" Jet yells and then ducks when it's thrown right at his head.

"Fuck you!" Gajeel yells at him.

"Nothing happened! Listen to me, nothing happened! She came to us because we're her best friends! You know she doesn't love us! We know she doesn't love us either! It's our fault she's mad at you! Everything has been our fault!"

"I know that! If you two fucking didn't exist the two of us would be happy right now!" Gajeel growls ripping the phone out of the wall and throwing it at him.

"Ah! Dammit Droy! Get here soon!" Jet yells.

"I'm here!" Droy yells running into the room.

He gasps and drops Levy as he ducks from the drawer getting thrown at his head. Levy screams as she lands on the ground and groans. Gajeel pauses and stares at her, all anger diminishing. She looks like she's been crying, heavily, and what does that matter to him now anyway? They're through, he has nothing to do with her anymore.

"Listen, the both of you. You love each other, very much. Jet and I, we've been the reason for your demise. Every fight, every doubt, we tried to ruin your relationship and even your wedding. We took it way too far and we're sorry." Droy explains.

"Yes, so please make up. Please don't do this to each other. Levy, you love him. I see that now, he's the only one who can make you feel alive and make you happy. Gajeel, I didn't think you were good enough for her, but I know now that you're the only person for her. Droy and I can't even compare to you... I guess we were scared because we knew that you would steal her from us, so we didn't want to let go, so we held onto her tightly. We're sorry, we'll stay out of the picture, we'll disappear forever, just please, please Levy, please make-up. Please don't let us live with the guilt of taking away your happiness. Please don't leave Gajeel, please stay. I'm begging, begging." Jet begs them.

"There's no point." Gajeel says.

Levy flinches and curls up into a ball.

"I was never going to leave."

Levy opens her eyes and slowly turns around, staring at him with wide eyes. Gajeel's face is scrunched up in pain and he grunts, scratching the back of his head trying to find the words.

"I was mad, I always get mad, I know I'm a hot head and need to work on it. Walking back to our room though Levy without you, walking away from our wedding... I imagined what my life would be without you and I didn't want that. I'm sorry for what I said, I'm sorry for what I did. I meant it at the time, but I never really meant it. My heart, it has always been yours. You can cheat on me, once, twice, a hundred times, a thousand times, I will still be with you because you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I got to our room and cooled down, and was about to go and find you again before that idiot came and pissed me off." Gajeel glares at Jet.

Levy stands up and goes running to Gajeel, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Gajeel!" She cries out loudly.

"I'm sorry I made you cry again, I promise I'll do my best to keep you smiling." Gajeel whispers holding her.

"Gajeel I love you! I love you so much! I would never cheat on you, I never want anyone but you!"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry it took me so long to finally get that through my thick skull. I want to be with you, I want to marry you, today, if you'll still have me."

Levy sniffs and rubs her face against his shoulder, nodding her head up and down, "yes, yes, that's all I've ever wanted."

Jet and Droy stand next to each other and smile.

"We did it."

"Yup."

"Look how happy she is."

"Yup."

"We've lost her forever."

Droy takes a breath and sighs out, "yeah, but she's happy. That's all that matters."

Levy sniffs and pulls away from Gajeel, kissing his face sweetly before pulling away. She turns her back to him and walks over to her two best friends, the two of them as stiff as boards.

"Jet, Droy, I understand. You two have only ever wanted what was best for me, ever since I was a child. I'm sorry I could never return your feelings, but you stayed my friends anyway, my good friends," Levy smiles at them.

Jet and Droy relax a bit.

"But if you two CAN'T RESPECT MY HUSBAND THEN WE'RE THROUGH AND I'LL HATE YOU GUYS FOREVER! YOU HEAR ME?! THROUGH! TEN YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP IN THE TRASH AND I WON'T CARE ONE BIT! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!" She screams at the top of her lungs.

Jet and Droy immediately go pale and down on their knees, heads to the floor, "YES! YES WE'RE SORRY! WE'RE SORRY! WE'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN!"

Gajeel blinks, a small smirk appearing on his face. He's impressed. He's never seen this type of Levy in charge before, and he has to say he's loving it right now.

"Good! Now that everything is settled, I have a wedding to prepare for. See you downstairs hubby?" Levy asks winking at Gajeel.

Gajeel blinks and smirks at her, "hell yeah. Can't wait for it."

"You and me both... I love you Gajeel."

Gajeel's smirk turns into a soft smile and he walks over, pressing their lips together, "I love you too baby."

"Knock, knock," Mirajane giggles entering the room, her voice gets caught in her throat as she gasps, "oh Levy, you're beautiful."

"Really? Thanks Mirajane. That makes me feel a bunch better," Levy sighs holding her stomach.

"No problem, I'm here to escort you to the ballroom. Your father is already waiting to walk you down the aisle. I thought I would give you a little wedding present first." Mirajane says walking in with a box.

"What? Mirajane, you didn't have to do that for me."

"I know, but it is my job to make sure everyone gets their happy wedding and it bothered me that I couldn't give you everything you wanted, so I pulled a few favors and actually I just asked a huge favor from a very powerful person." Mirajane says heading over.

She opens up the small box and pulls out an orange flower, but not just any orange flower. Levy covers her mouth as she gasps, tears nearly coming to her eyes as she sees plumeria orange rainbow, their flower.

"We couldn't have your wedding without this, here. Let me put it in your hair." Mirajane says sticking the flower right where her bun was.

"Mirajane! How?!"

"I told you, I just asked a really powerful person. I have a friend whose secretary can pretty much do anything. I asked her for this favor and she told me no problem at all. There we are, perfect. You ready?"

Levy smiles and nods her head, "yes. Thank you so much."

Mirajane leads Levy down the hall and passes her off to her father. She sneaks in before them before making the cues, the song coming on, the guests all turning behind them to take a glance as Levy begins walking down the aisle. She is surprised a second time when she sees all her flower covering the aisle decorating the room, tears streaming down her face already. She looks over and sees Gajeel waiting down for her and starts crying even more, not being able to help it.

When she gets to the end of it she falls into Gajeel's arm, holding tightly onto him.

"What's wrong?" Gajeel chuckles in her ear.

"Everything is so beautiful, our flowers are here, everything is just- I'm just so happy right now." Levy cries.

Gajeel smirks and wipes her tears away, "so am I Levy, so am I."

"He did it," Juvia sighs out lightly, touching her chest.

"What now?" Gray whispers over to her.

"There was a little trouble yesterday, but it seems everything is alright now," Juvia says and smiles when she hears the two of them say I do.

"Trouble?"

"Yeah, but everything is all good and nice." Juvia says and then begins to cheer along with everyone else in the room when Levy jumps up and kisses his lips.

"Mrs. Redfox," Gajeel grins before kissing her again.

Levy giggles and wraps her arms around him, "Mr. Redfox."

They made it.
