Going Forward
Gajeel didn't know what to think. He felt like he'd been swept in a whirlwind for the past year and now this beautiful girl was coming with him. He could only hope all this effort wasn't futile.
He heard Makarov tell the girl the plan going forward. Gajeel knew it by heart so naturally he zone out. They would have to locate the book firstly, rumored to be in the lost mountains, and then the girl would translate the book resulting in him getting the answer he needs.
Pretty simple, he thought as he stared at the stone walls and thought about his year. It all started with pain. A searing pain in his head. He was at his home, eating iron, stroking his cat, panther lily. Then the pain in his head struck him like nothing before in his life. He fell to the floor, holding his head between his hands, gritting his teeth from a pain so strong he could focus on nothing else. It took all of his strength to crawl to his door and even more to open it. He honestly is unsure how he made it to the small hospital the compound offered; the pain made his memory foggy. But he did make it and he was able to get help from Porlyusica who calmed the killer head ache. That was the day he also discovered his condition.
His condition, he thought with spite. He heard the drone of Makaorv's voice focus its attention in his direction so he snapped out of his thoughts.
"Gajeel, can you bring Miss Levy home? She lives in the blue house on Cooper street." He guided Levy to him and Gajeel became extremely conscious of the beating of his heart.
"Yeah" He murmured, grabbing Levy's arm "Lets go .. Levy"
The name felt foreign to his lips but he liked the way it rolled off his tongue. He wanted to say it more, he thought as he began his chant. Methodically repeating his lines he held Levy by the shoulders until they slowly disappeared from the cave and reappeared in-between two houses on Cooper street.
"This is your destination" was all he said as he let her go "I would walk you to your house but as you can imagine that would be a bad idea."
Levy just nodded "I'll see you tomorrow at the library right?"
"Yeah, 6 o clock"
"Alright, see you then" she waved at him as she made her way to her house.
He felt a feeling spread inside of him in response to her kindness and he didn't like it. These kind of emotions were to easy to exploit, especially in his circumstance. He shook his head. What was he thinking? It's not like he really likes the chick she's just nice and cute... and perfect. He gave himself a face palm and tried to convince himself he had no feelings for her at all as he chanted his way home.
