Gajevy.
"Seriously, I'm fine."
"Not believin' ya for a second, Shrimp."
Levy let out a frustrated sigh and slumped further against Gajeel.
"Gajeel, please put me down. I'm sure it's just a sprained ankle."
Clumsiness reared its ugly head on this mission, leaving Levy to fall down a hill and her ankle suffered the brunt of the fall.
Ever since then, she'd been thrown over the iron dragon slayer's shoulder and carried the rest of the way down the mountain. And from the looks of it, he wasn't planning on depositing her back on solid ground anytime soon.
"Does it hurt to walk on?"
"It's manageable, so just-"
Gajeel gave the back of her leg a gentle smack. "If it hurts ya ain't walkin' on it."
Levy pounded her tiny fists against his back. "Stupid Gajeel! Put me down, I'm-"
A loud shriek escaped Levy as she was lowered from Gajeel's shoulder, only to have her body being pressed flush against his by Gajeel's strong arms. His red eyes shone with something fierce, some emotion that the script mage couldn't place.
Gajeel inched his face closer to her own, making sure they were looking into each other's eyes. "Yer hurt. Let me take care of ya Shrimp."
Levy turned a bright shade of red nodded quickly, burying her face into the hollow of his neck to hide her embarrassment.
"Gihi," Gajeel laughed before pulling her away and placing her gently on the ground. Levy looked up with confused eyes, only have them widen in shock when Gajeel turned his back to her and got down on one knee.
He was going to give her a piggy back ride.
Levy hooked her arms around his neck and felt his arms grab her by the thighs before effortlessly climbing to his feet. She jostled a little when he shifted her higher on his back and turned to look at her. "Everything good back there?"
"Yes." Gajeel began walking, remembering Levy said the town they were needed in was just a few more miles away.
"Gajeel?"
"Hm?"
"Thank you." Levy said before pressing her forehead into the back of his head.
"No problem, Shrimp."
When Levy was hurt, Gajeel would never mind to carry her weight.
