"Salamander"

Gramps nodded "he also said that a celestial wizard must find these special keys, in exchange for this information the council has put him in jail and protect him from any assassins Zeref might send."

"why would Zeref send people after him?"

"not important. the first key should be around Hargeon"

"where in Hargeon?"

"I don't know. no one does. only a celestial wizard can track these down, it could be in the ocean, in a store, but only Lucy will know where they are. once she finds the first, that spirit should lead her to the next."

"why don't you tell Lucy this?" I crossed my arms over my chest

"she cannot know that Zeref is going to try to kill Natsu for obvious reasons, she will figure out what these keys do in time and when she does i fear she will sacrifice herself to save Natsu. that is why I need you to stop her"

"what aren't you telling me?"

"I'm not telling you a lot of things, I need you to protect Lucy and teach her to fight, so she can get stronger" Gramps turned around and grabbed a bottle off the desk and handed it to me

"what's this?"

"a potion it makes you invisible to everyone around you. I got Porlyusica to tweek it a bit and it should make yours and Lucy's scent different for a time so that a certain dragon slayer cant track you or follow you."

"how long will it last?"

"a day or more so it gives you enough time to get out of town"

"that is all I wish you well on your journey child, goodbye"

I turned and left without asking any more questions, Gramps brought me here to fairy tail and I was going to do whatever i could to protect it and my fellow guild members. I was about to go back down stairs to look for shrimp when i saw her leave the infirmary with Mira. I walked up to her

"why were you in the infirmary shrimp?" I asked a little concerned

Levy sighed "Lucy got hurt and then threw up on Natsu"

"how did she get hurt?"

"she tripped on a rock." Mira interjected

I frowned down at Levy "a rock."

Levy nodded "she's really drunk"

"did you say she puked on flame brain?" I chuckled " I wish I saw that"

Levy cringed slightly "no you really don't" Levy shook her head as if removing that image from her memory completely "anyway I'm kinda tired want to head home?" I looked up at the clock it was 9:00 "yeah lets head home"

Levy placed her hand in my out stretched hand and we headed for the guild doors, I pushed everyone who got in my way while Levy smiled apologetically apologizing to everyone about my rudeness. we finally made it to the doors and I stepped out dragging levy after me.

I walked out into the cool breeze the air smelled of freshly cut grass and blood. I sniffed the air it was Lucy's blood. i waved it off knowing she got hurt on the way home.

Levy laid her head on my arm as we began to walk home she sighed loudly, I looked down at her but she kept her hold on my arm looking forward, I brushed it off as just her being tired, i focused on the river as the moonlight hit the water and danced off it I didn't like the water much it made me fell like I was rusting.

my thoughts were interrupted by Levy sighing again. i stopped and looked down at her "what's wrong shrimp?"

Levy stopped and looked up at me and smiled forcefully "who me? nothing." Levy looked down and started to walk away trying to pull me with her. I stayed where i was not moving. Levy pulled on my hand again I removed my hand from hers and crossed my arms over my chest. Levy pouted then moved behind me and tried to push me. again I didn't move from my spot. she moved back around to face me she then kicked me in the shin and pulled my arm again.

"what's the matter tiny?"

Levy huffed "I told you not to call me tiny."

I chuckled "alright I wont call you tiny, shrimp"

Levy glared at me "can you tell me what's wrong now?"

Levy sighed she went and sat on the railing next to the water "I'm worried about Lucy."

"why are you worried?"

"she was acting weird all day. first she acts all weird with Erza, Grey and Juvia and then she gets drunk and just now she stared at Natsu like her dog just died."

I stared down at Levy not giving anything away "its probably just the alcohol."

Levy looked down at her hands "I don't think so.." Levy looked out in the distance lost in thought. I was worried she would think about it to much and figure out what was happening, so what if she found out? would it really be a bad thing? its not like haven't gone on long missions before or dangerous ones for a matter of fact. I quickly shook it off. no Gramps wanted to keep this a secret.

I looked down at Levy she was still staring off into space. i waved my hand in front of her face, she looked up at me smiling "I think I know why she is acting so weird!"

I paled "wh-what do you mean"

"she must be pregnant!"

I was about to deny everything when what Levy said sunk in "shrimp she was drinking"

Levy's face fell "oh yeah."

Levy looked down again. I kneeled down in front of her so my face was level with hers "listen I'm sure if there was something troubling bunnygirl she would tell you, you are her best friend right?" i felt kind of bad saying seeing as how Lucy was keeping things from Levy.

Levy smiled at me and kissed me on the nose "thanks Gajeel."

I stood up extending my hand to her to help her up "come on shrimp let's go home"

Levy got up "you know I wish everyone else could see this soft side of you" she said as we continued to walk to our apartment.

I grunted "I don't have a soft side"

Levy laughed "ok then"

right when we got home levy went straight to bed, I laid down next to her as she curled up next to me, "goodnight" she said sleepily and kissed me.

"night" I laid in bed looking up at the ceiling then back down at Levy she looked so peaceful, I listened carefully as her breathing slowed and evened. I decided to wait a couple minutes before leaving.

I brushed a hair off Levy's face "I'll miss you shrimp." I kissed the top of her head and got off the bed heading for the window.

I looked back at Levy just as I was about to turn and leave something on the bed side table caught my eye, on the table there was a picture of me and Levy my face was turned slightly and I had a slight smile on my face. and Levy had the biggest grin on her face as she stared up at me, Levy had mad a joke about Natsu and Lucy which made me smile and she decided to capture that moment. that was a little before we started dating. I turned back to the window a smile on my face "I'll be back for you" and I jump out.
