Bonus Chapter- Part 1
AN: OK so, here is the first part of the first bonus chapter! Yay! :D sorry it took me so long to get it done, most of it was done, but then I got stuck on parts and then I ended up deleting some of it caz I didn't like where it was going. So anywhos, I decided to make this bonus "chapter" into two parts. And forewarning, I did not mention certain things about this new character for a reason, so before you ask, things will be explained in the next chapter. :)
I'm thinking about making the bonus chapters have 1-2 parts, depending on how much I end up writing in each one. So for now, please enjoy this little tid-bit!
I will mention this, for the new characters in this chapter, I named them after two characters in the show, Tokyo Ghoul because I love them so much lol
Replies at bottom!
"Hinami… Hinami…."
Hinami stared longingly at Gaje from across the room, his nose in one of his books, his eyes barely shifting as he read its inked pages. The young girl put her chin in the palm of her hands, letting out a soft and unknowing sigh as her friend tried to get her attention.
"Hinami!"
Big lavender eyes opened wide as her head snapped back to her friend quickly, her hands moving straight down to the book in front of her. "Wha?! I'm listening!"
Yuriko stuck out her bottom lip in a pout as she narrowed her eyes. "Yeah right… you're so focused on that guy over there."
Hinami's cheeks blushed instantly, turning her fair skin a bright red color. Her short silver hair came down over her face to shade her reddened cheeks. "N-no I'm not! I was listening to you…"
Yuriko rolled her eyes as she picked up her own book. "Why are you even into that nerd anyway? All he ever does is read. He doesn't speak to anyone or do anything else but read his books. Sounds like a pretty boring lifestyle to me."
Hinami glanced over to Gaje once more. The young girl couldn't help herself. For the past two years now, she had tried to manage the nerve to talk to him, but failed miserably. She knew who he was, what he was like, what he liked to do, and even what kind of books he liked to read constantly. She had been watching him silently for so long, she picked up on a lot of what made Gaje up as a person. She knew he was smart and was practicing solid script magic, but nothing ever seemed to interest him more than a good book. He kept to himself and only answered questions in class when needed. He always worked alone on projects, even when he was paired up with someone, he would just end up doing the whole thing himself.
She often felt sorry for him. She didn't think he had any friends to speak of and noticed that he was sometimes bothered by other boys in their class. Mostly it was just them poking fun of him for being such a bookworm, but he would simply ignore them and continue reading. The silver haired girl looked back to her friend across from her, her blush on her cheeks growing. "I don't think it's a boring lifestyle… some people just choose to live the quiet life."
Yuriko closed her book and sighed. "Must be why your only friend is me. You like to live the quiet life too."
Hinami's blush faded quickly, as her eyes grew sad, casting down. "It's not like that… I just—"
Yuriko waved her hand, stopping her friend from finishing her sentence. "Yeah, yeah… I know. I'm just messing with you Hinami. Don't be so sad. Anyway, we still on for this weekend's study session? The finals coming up are going to be pretty rough and I could use all the help I can get."
Hinami nodded her head slowly. "Yeah." She fell silent once more as she stared at the open book in front of her.
Yuriko shoved her own book into her backpack, rolling her eyes slightly. "Come on, Hinami! Cheer up already! I was only kidding."
Lavender eyes looked up and closed happily, a smile curling over the girls lips. "I know! And I'll be fine! I'll see you later Yuriko!" Hinami waved her hand as her friend smiled and waved back, leaving the classroom quickly. She let out a soft sigh once more as she closed her book, her other hand reaching down for her bag. Her eyes shot back to Gaje as soon as she heard a few of the classroom boys going up to him, laughing and joking amongst themselves. She stopped all of her movements, watching them carefully.
The ring leader of the boys smirked as he stepped towards Gaje. His body bent at his waist slightly as he began to speak. "Hey there Gaje! Whatcha doin'?" The script mage continued to read his book, ignoring the question he was just asked. The boy growled softly as he frowned. "Hey!" His hands came down onto Gajes' desk quickly and loudly. "I asked you what you are doing?! Ain't you gonna tell me?!"
Gaje finished the page he was reading before looking up slowly at the boy leaning on his desk beside him. "If your incompetent eyes can't tell you what I am doing, I suggest you find a doctor to get them checked out. It's fairly easy to tell what I am doing at this moment, rather, what I was just doing. Right now I am speaking to a simple minded fool who has nothing better to do than to bother me out of sheer boredom. Or perhaps you are trying to show off to your dull-witted friends behind you that in order to get your kicks off, you chose to bother someone who is doing nothing but minding their own business with a good book."
Hinami couldn't help but giggle as Gaje spoke back nonchalantly. He knew how to take care of himself in his own way and really didn't let anyone get to him. The boy looked at Gaje angrily, his hands forming into fists as he pulled them back to his sides, standing up straight. "You think you're so smart Redfox?! Are you trying to pick a fight with me?!"
Gaje's eyes glanced back down to the book he was reading. "No. I am not trying to pick a fight. I am simply stating facts that I see in front of me. Or perhaps I am just guessing facts? Either way, it sounds like you are trying to start something out of pure boredom. Why don't you go use this energy to go study something? I know that you could use it. I however am passing all of my classes."
The ring leader was fuming. He couldn't believe that Gaje actually looked bored as he spoke back to him. Averting his gaze even! "You've made a huge mistake calling me stupid in front of my crew, Redfox!" The boy reached out quickly for Gaje's book, gripping one side of the hard cover. Lavender eyes went wide as she watched Gaje react like lightning. His hand was on the boys' wrist, gripping it tightly as his crimson eyes burned holes into the ring leader. She had never seem him have so much emotion in his face before. His angered expression sent chills down the girls' spine, as well as the other two boys standing by.
"Let go." Gaje said coolly.
The boy's eyebrows crossed as his other hand went right over Gaje's vice grip. "Hey! What gives?! Let go of my wrist Redfox!"
"Not until you let go of my book." The dark haired boy replied.
The boy scowled as Gaje held his wrist in place. "If you don't let go of my wrist, you'll regret it!" He let go of the script mages' hand and held up his own, his scowl turning into a smirk as his arm began to form spikes from his skin. "You know what I can do with these bad boys? I can really mess someone up."
Gaje stared at the boy and his arm for a long minute before holding up a finger into the air with his free hand. The boy watched him with confusion over his face, wondering why Gaje had just held up a single finger. The script mage scribbled something in the air quickly, the word "silent" forming after a few seconds. The boy's eyes went wide as he stared at the word coming at him. "What the he—" The boy's hand and arm went back to normal instantly as his words failed to form. His free hand went to his throat, gripping it lightly as he tried to speak again. Nothing. He narrowed his eyebrows as he pointed a finger to Gaje, mouthing the words, "What do you just do to me?!"
One of the boys from behind him held up his fists. "What the hell did you do to the boss?!"
Gaje kept his finger held up into the air. "I simply put a stop to his annoying voice. I told him to let go of my book, but that was to just shut him up. This is for not letting go." The dark haired script mage once more scribbled something into the air. The word "itch" appeared in front of the script mage. The two boys stepped back just before the word launched forward towards them all. Seconds later, the three of them started to scratch at their bodies as they itched all over uncontrollably. The classmate holding onto the book finally let its hard cover go, his hands moving to his own body to scratch the itch that wouldn't stop. The boy stepped back and glared at Gaje, mouthing the words, "You'll pay for this!" before he followed his friends out of the classroom.
The script mage sighed as he closed his eyes slowly. 'How annoying…'
"That was pretty awesome what you did there." Gaje's eyes opened back up slowly, turning slightly to see Hinami standing beside him, a smile over her sweet face. "I didn't think anyone had the guts to go up against—"
Gaje closed his book and spoke, cutting off the silver haired girl. "He was just being annoying, I simply gave him a means to leave me alone."
Hinami blushed slightly as she looked away from the script mage. One of her hands came up and pulled back a few strands of hair behind her ear. "Yeah… right…" Her mind raced to come up with something else to talk about to the boy she had a crush on for so long. 'Damn it… this is the first time I finally managed enough courage to talk to him and all I could say was that?! I'm so pathetic! Just talk to him like he was Yuriko! It's easy to talk to her!' Lavender eyes went back to the boy, her mouth opening to speak. "Gaje, I—"
"Sorry. I have to get home." The script mage was already standing by the time Hinami had looked back to him, throwing his backpack over his shoulder and holding the book he was reading in his free hand. Hinami watched Gaje head for the door, with very little haste.
The girl reached out into the air, her mouth unable to produce words quick enough before Gaje disappeared out of the room. Hinami sighed as her arm fell down to her side. A minute later, the silver haired girl clenched her fist tightly. 'No! I can't just give up like this! I finally spoke some words to him, I have to just let him know how I feel about him! It won't hurt to try!' Hinami's head hung down as she sighed. "Or it actually might hurt… seeing how he never really showed interest in girls before… what makes me think I have a chance? No! I'm going to do this! I have to!" Lavender eyes became determined as she rushed out the door to find the script mage. Relief came over her as she saw him halfway down the hall. She ran to his side, her voice sounding out of breath as she spoke. "Hey! Gaje!"
The script mage kept walking slowly, his crimson eyes focused on the path ahead of him. "Yeah?"
"Um… is… is it ok if I walk home with you?" Hinami asked softly, her cheeks turning red quickly.
"I usually take the bus home. With my sister." He replied.
"Oh, um… well then… do you have a minute before you have to get on the bus?" The girl bit her lip lightly. 'Please say yes… please say yes!'
Crimson eyes glanced over to the blushing girl. He could tell she wanted to speak to him, even in the classroom. He really wished she would leave him alone. He found talking to people pointless and a waste of his time. Crimson eyes went back to looking straight ahead. "I have a few minutes."
Hinami's face lit up in excitement. "Really?! You do?! I mean, yeah, of course you do. You said you have a few minutes." The silver haired girl laughed nervously as she brought her hand to the side of her head. "I swear this head of mine would be lost if it wasn't attached."
"So what did you want to talk about?" The script mage asked quickly, wanting to get this talk over and done with as soon as possible.
Hinami looked down at her own hands that came to the front of her body, her cheeks instantly turning red. "Well, you see… I um… I… I was wondering… if… you were busy this weekend. Yuriko is coming over to my house for a study session… and I know you usually do things alone, and you probably don't need to study, but… if you wanted to… I could give you my address and you could come by… maybe…"
Gaje sighed as he closed his eyes for a moment. "You're right. I do everything by myself and I don't need to study, so I'm going to have to pass on the offer."
The silver haired girl looked up quickly, her hand reaching out slightly. "I-I figured you would say that, and so... I… I was wondering if you could help us study!"
Gaje stopped walking, his crimson eyes opening up to look at the girl who had stopped next to him. "Look, no offense, but I don't do well in a crowd. You can ask anyone in my family. It's just not my thing. And besides, not to sound rude, but your friend is pretty loud, and I already have to deal with loud people as it is. Being alone gives me a break from those around me. I'm sure you two will be fine studying together."
Hinami's eyes grew sad, glancing down slightly. "Gaje…"
The script mage raised a brow slightly as he spoke. "Is there something else?"
'I have to just say it!' Lavender eyes shut tightly as Hinami's hands clenched together. 'Even if he rejects me… I have to just tell him how I feel! I can't go another day torturing myself and being too cowardly to say anything!' The girl opened her mouth and spoke loudly. "Gaje, I like you!" She could feel her heart beating fast in her chest. Her stomach flipped as she waited for his response. She bit her lip lightly after a few minutes of silence. Her eyes opened back up but stayed glancing down. "I've actually liked you for a while now… I just… haven't had enough courage to say anything until now."
"The correct phrase I believe people say is, I'm flattered… but unfortunately I don't feel the same way. I find romantic relationships… too complicated. And to be honest, I'm not interested in dating. Sorry." Gaje said with a straight face.
Hinami forced a smile over her lips as she looked up to the mage. She shook her head and waved a hand. "It's ok. I figured I'd just throw myself out there. Well, I guess I'll just… see you later."
Gaje watched as the girl walked past him, her head hanging down. A minute later after Hinami had disappeared around the corner, he could feel a smaller frame come up beside him and wrap an arm around his neck. "Geez Gaje. That was pretty harsh." Leviana said with a shake of her head.
"You know I don't have time to date." Gaje said as he started walking again.
Leviana rolled her eyes as she caught back up to her brother. "You didn't have to go and break that girl's heart like that! You could have at least gone out with her on one date!"
Gaje rolled his eyes slightly as he let out a sigh. "And what good would that have done? Lead her on, making her think that I have interest in her when all I would want to do while on that date is read my book? No thanks. I'd rather just tell people the truth, no point in beating around the bush."
Leviana put her hands on her hips, her voice angry at her older brother. "You sound like the biggest jerk on earth right now! Why can't you just step out of your comfort zone and give that pretty girl a chance?! She's pretty and seems pretty smart. And boy was her heart pounding when she was next to you… I think she really likes you Gaje."
"Just drop it, Leviana. Let's just go home." Gaje said as he brought one of his books up to his face, starting to read it as he walked.
The dragon slayer moaned loudly. "Fiiiinnee…" The blue haired girl continued to pout as she walked alongside her older brother, wanting to press the issue further, but knew now that he had a book in his hands, her words would fall on deaf ears.
AN: and if you guys couldn't tell, THIS IS A GAJE BONUS CHAPTER! :D yaaaay! This takes place a while ago so this is basically what was going on with Gaje and Leviana during that time. (mostly Gaje) so I hope you guys like this so far, and I'm hoping to get the next chapter up soon, but no promises lol I really am cooking on Centaur Paradise atm, and my brain is going crazy with so many ideas and then I keep getting distracted by everything, that, or I'm working my damn ass off at work…. So anywhos! Please be patient with me, like you guys are, and remember to keep a look out for the next bonus chapter :)
Takiarika: lol well I hope you enjoyed this first bonus part, the next one should be better! :D and as for Gajeel seeing Gaje with a girl, I'm going to keep that a secret and you'll just have to wait until the next part of the chapter to find out ;)
Lilia: yes I know, Gaje wasn't a super main character, but I hope this bonus chapter will make up for it.
Guest 1: thank you so much! And yes! Yes they are! I'm so happy I decided not to kill off Juvia caz the thought of that made me sad, and I think the divorce worked out way better in the end. And I know Gray doesn't show his feelings a lot in the manga or the show, so I thought it would be very important and different if he did in the story.
Guest 2: I'm not sure if I'm going to do a Gruvia wedding night just get. It's still up in the air in my head so if I don't end up doing it, I'm sorry :(
Depressica: yaaaay! I'm so glad you loved it! :) and omg yes… yes it was . I didn't expect it to be this long of a story but it was thought out sooo much more than the other two and things just kept getting added so yeah lol it was amazing and so much fun to write! That's why I wanted to do these bonus chapters because I am going to miss writing all of the OC's and basically this trilogy lol
Rab Shadow: of course! ^^ I love a happy ending. Haha and I do too laugh at the idea of a mini lily running around… give that girl a taste of her own medicine ;)
Nyma: Trust me, I was tearing up myself… through the whole thing! And even before! I just kept thinking… omg… this is it…. the last chapter… * sad/happy tears* and I'm so happy about this story and what I was able to do with it. I am going to miss writing these characters, but I hope to make more stories just as great as this one :)
