Chapter 7

Gajeel awoke in a daze not really certain what had transpired. He looked around and noticed he was currently not where he remembered he was before. He faintly remembered being in the shower then everything went black from there.

He looked outside the window that was next to his bed and saw the sun was setting on the horizon. "Damn what happend to me?" his thoughts were muffled then it all came rushing back like a flood into his already broken mind. "Oh ya" he said gloomily, he thought to himself how long he had been knocked out for.

He didn't have a clock in his room, he usually was able to wake up at whatever time he so chose to get up at. He wasn't really sure what the time was, so he sat up and dragged himself out of bed. Gajeel noticed that he was not wearing any clothes, so he quickly threw on a pair of black shorts.

He took a few wobbly steps and made his way out of his bedroom.

He walked down the hallway to his kitchen, but before he reached it, he heard voices. He paused for a moment to listen in, he heard two people talking. One was obviously Pantherlily the other was Makarov. Gajeel was shocked to hear the guild masters voice in his home.

He focused in on the conversation they were currently having. Lily was talking with concern "Makarov i don't see how much longer he can go on like this". Makarov responded with just as much worry "I realize that one of my children is in a tight spot. I will try and help as much as i can, but he is quite a stubborn man".

Lily raised a knowing look "Yes i know that first hand, he just won't let anyone in and it's all because of his past." Lily paused and pleaded with Makarov "Please help him master he is a soft hearted man and he is just as breakable as anyone else."

Gajeel upon hearing this took it as his cue to walk in. Both of men looked up on the Dragon Slayer Makarov was the first to speak.

"Ahh Gajeel how are you my boy i heard you took a spill and passed out." Makarov said with a greeting smile.

Gajeel responded with a grunt. Lily spoke up next "You were passed out for 2 hours Gajeel i had to tell somebody". Lily looked on Gajeel with concern "You need to address your problems or you'll regret it.

Gajeel only looked at the Exceed and spoke " I already regret things".

Lily quickly responded "So why won't you tell anybody about them?" Gajeel's anger was starting to grow

"it's nobody's business but my own."

Lily fired back with his rebuttal "It is "My Business" when you kick me, wake me up screaming, and I find you passed out on the shower floor!." Lily grew more impatient with his friend. Makarov sensing an impending fight decided to end it while everyone still had their senses.

"Alright enough Lily!" Makarov said with authority, he then looked at Gajeel who had fire in his eyes and was ready to fight. "Gajeel?" Makarov said gently. Gajeel didn't respond he just turned around and began to walk away. Makarov's Gigantic voice flew through the air.

"Gajeel!" Makarov got up out of his chair. Gajeel on the other hand was stricken with how quick Makarov's temper could be flared up. Makarov's magic began to gather up his magic "Gajeel you need help and i'm offering my help to one of my children".

Gajeel's anger grew he turned around to face his guild master "You can't help me nobody can help me! I can't even help myself so how can you?" Gajeel's eyes Squinted at Makarov. Makarov just stood there with nothing to say. Gajeel was so angry at the whole situation that he blew his fuse off on the wrong person.

So when Makarov said nothing Gajeel yelled "How can you help me? you're a weak old man you couldn't even save the ones you loved and befriended from falling into darkness, so how". As soon as Makarov heard his words he grew his arm out and grabbed Gajeel. "Are you challenging me? Gajeel" Makarov had righteous anger in his eyes and was ready to fight for his beliefs.

Gajeel put his head down in defeat "No" Gajeel wouldn't fight anyone in his guild seriously. No matter how mad he had actually gotten. Especially the man who brought him into the guild in the first place.

Makarov released him and asked him one more time "Will you talk to me Gajeel?". Gajeel with his head still down said with a mumble "yes". Makarov asked again not hearing him the first time "I said will you talk to me son?".

Gajeel picked his head up and agreed with a loud "Yes! but only with you not Lily", he gestured to Lily. Makarov nodded his head "Fair enough.. Lily? if you please". Lily got up "Fine try to talk some sense into him master."

On the other side of town Levy had gotten her things together for the mission she was going on. Jet and Droy had begged her to go that night she was intent on going as soon as possible as well so she agreed.. She wanted her mind off of the man that she kept thinking about.

The little blue mage had met up with Jet and Droy when she saw them she asked "Are you guys ready?". Jet and Droy both shook their heads. Levy with a agreeing nod spoke " So the next train is in 15 minutes".

Jet and Droy both glorified Levy "Ahh levy you're always so punctual" said Droy. Jet agreed "Yes our Levy is the best" Levy shook her head "You guys". Jet smiled and changed his expression "Oh ya Levy I talked to Mira about the mission. She said that the mission had changed a bit and that we would be explained what to do when we got there, and also that the payoff would increase".

Levy said with a discerning look "Is it really the best idea to go when we don't know what in store for us?". Droy answered "Come on Lev we're team Shadow Gear we can handle anything". Jet agreed "Ya where's your sense of adventure?"

Levy with a nervous voiced agreed "Fine we'll go". Both Jet and Droy Cheered. Jet added at the end "I told Mira that if we weren't back in 6 days for her to tell Master Makarov.".Levy agreed that this would be best "Okay so let's start this mission shall we?" Jet and Droy both said a cheerful "Yes!"

They waited for the train, and when it came they boarded it starting their mission early. Shadow Gear had a 4 hour trip ahead of them to the sea town Accra the largest port in Magnolia. She had plenty of time to do almost anything on the train. She could have read, talked to her team mates or fell asleep.

Levy decided to stare out the window and think about herself and Gajeel. She wished she had said goodbye to the man before she left, she hated leaving with people angry with her. It always left a bad taste in her mouth.

Especially with Gajeel, her feelings towards him have grown so much over the last couple of years. She remembered when he first joined the guild how scared she was of him. She laughed when she thought about how she hid behind a table from the sight of him.

She remembered how he helped her during the S-class exam, and how he saved her from the two Grimoire Heart members. Her feelings grew for him in such a short amount of time she was surprised herself when her magic produced a heart by itself

. Makarov always said how your heart was the key and supplier to one's magic. The first time she actually felt something from him was when he was watching her trying to get the counterspell for Freed's Rune Wall. She was surprised that he showed any interest at all to what she was doing.

Then came the nights of partying and drinking which Levy had participated in quite a few times. She had drank with The Iron Dragon Slayer, and had talked to him to hours with ease about so many different things. Later they somehow managed to find things to talk about.

They obviously had chemistry, and she noticed this early on. She had forgiven him as soon as he saved her from Laxus. She just never told him how she felt about that time she was too scared to bring up the past with the man.

She had wanted to tell him on so many occasions how she felt, but her courage was shortcoming. She loved him there was no getting around that in her mind. She was undoubtedly in love with a man that truly hurt her.

Not just a plain love that you have from infatuation, she was obviously sexually attracted to the man that was a fact. She would always grow jealous whenever she saw a girl staring blatantly at Gajeel. She just didn't have the guts to throw a stare right back that spoke "Hands off he's mine". She felt as though she could tell him anything about herself, and he would confide in it. She knew about his past, or at least parts of it.

She just didn't care she saw him as a knight in shining armor even though he was clad in black. She wanted to say so many things with all her heart to talk to him about her feelings. She was going to Levy decided then and there that she would when she returned.

No more shy Levy she was going to show him and tell him that she indeed loved him and let him know that she had for quite some time. She smiled to herself as she closed her eyes, she slowly started to drift off into sleep. The last thing she thought of was Gajeel's face when she told him she loved him.
