Summary: Levy is delivering some cupcakes that Gajeel wants, and she just happens to be wearing a red coat, while Gajeel is….well the big bad, as always.

Pairings: Gajeel/Levy.

Author's Note: Thank you all so much for giving me over THREE HUNDRED reviews. It means a great deal to me.

Gajeel had been on his way to the guild to look for work when he caught the scent. It was a mouth-watering, delicious scent, something that he hadn't smelt since his early days at Phantom Lord.

The best cupcakes in all of Fiore…and they were here.

Without a second thought he hunted down the trail and followed it, only to find a familiar small shape, in a bright red coat that Bunny Girl had insisted on giving her for Christmas, making her way through the thick snow. It was the Shrimp, and by the looks of things she was on her way to Fairy Hills which, for some reason unknown to him since it was where most of the female members lived, was far out of the town.

Easy pickings, he thought evilly. He managed to take her down before when she had back up (though he did genuinely regret that now), and here she was on her own, he was more than capable of stealing her basket.

Her magically charmed basket that was keeping the cupcakes fresh and warm by the smell of it.

"Gihihi!"

He lurked behind her as she went through the streets of Magnolia and began to trek through the woods that guarded the hill the girl's dormitory stood upon. He managed to get away with it until midway through the woods, when Shrimp took a fast turn to the right, and then a sharp turn to the left, and then suddenly shot a spell called ROCK at him, which pushed him backwards into the snow.

"Why are you following me?!" The Shrimp demanded to know. She waved her magical pen menacingly as possible, a silent threat that she's willing to cause him a little pain to get him to spill everything.

Kinky, Gajeel thought mischievously, I like…

"Smells good," Gajeel grunted as he nodded towards the basket of baked goods. "I was hoping for a bite," he admitted….not at all truthfully. He wanted the whole goddamn basket.

"It's not for you!" Levy snapped. "Erza has been down with a cold and I went all the way to the best bakery to get her something to cheer her up."

"Oh come on!" Gajeel barked. "That damn redheaded devil will be too busy being sick to notice one cupcake missing! I'll pay you for one!"

"No!"

Stubborn little minx!

"C'mon don't be such a cheapskate, Shrimp!" Gajeel snarled. "I just want one measly cupcake!"

"I said no!"

Gajeel growled menacingly, "Why you little-"

Shrimp squealed, smacked him round the face with her bloody basket of all things (he was temporarily blindsided as he landed face first into the snow), and ran off before he could even finish his fucking insult! Talk about fighting dirty!

"Fuck it!" Gajeel snarled as he shook the snow out of his hair.

He leaped up and then immediately chased her, it didn't take much effort to catch up with her, and he caught her by the waist, and picked her up. The Shrimp screamed as she wiggled in his arms and struggled to get out of his grasp, he held on tightly, ignoring her bony little elbows hitting his stomach, as he tried to reach for her basket.

It was then when she managed to kick him in the balls.

With a painful howl, her let her go in order to clutch his precious jewels, and she took full advantage by running off towards the path that led to the dormitories.

Determined not to lose because, fuck, the guys at the guild were going to piss themselves laughing at him if this ever got out, Gajeel ran after her.

He learnt his lesson this time, instead of grabbing her and giving her the opportunity to kick him, he pounced on her instead, and tackled her to the ground. The snow softened the blow so he doesn't know why she's screaming her head off like that.

He shot a wary glance at the girl's dorms because he knows that redheaded demon and the evil-eyed fairy freak would be the first to come out and beat the shit out of him if they saw him, and caught a glimpse of an Erza-shaped shadow in one of the windows. He quickly decided it was best to shut the Shrimp up before she got the strongest female mage of Fairy Tail's attention.

So as she took a deep breath to scream again, probably this time calling the names of her fellow female mages, Gajeel shoved his lips over hers roughly in order to shut her up.

There was no other reason!

Nu-huh!

No way in hell!

Her lips were soft and warm despite the cold, they tasted like cherries, and he may have carried on kissing her for an entirely different reason….

The cupcakes laid there on the snow, abandoned and forgotten.
