Last chapter:
After a few moments the door of the guild opened again letting enter a really pissed off Gajeel in. The iron dragon slayer's gaze locked for a few moments with the one of the solid script but tear it away soon. This made disappointment glow inside Levy while she saw him walking to his usual table. "Pull yourself together Levy, you have to do it" she encourage herself.
-Take this is his favorite and good luck- said with a smirked Mira while handing her a beer and winking.
"We can't keep nothing from her can we" thought the Little mage thanking the demon mage " I can do it".
Chapter 6:
A very angry Gajeel slammed the door of his house.
-Hey! you came back fast, I thought you would spend the night with your new lover- teased a black exceed- or did you...-he stopped himself by seeing something he thought he would never see, there he was just in front of him the iron dragon slayer crying. Yes there were only a few tears but indeed there they were fresh in his cheeks- G Gajeel what happened?- flew to his side worried Lily.
-I am late that is what happened!- yelled angrily Gajeel. Falling in the couch with his arm in his face to prevent him from crying any more.
-Tell me what happened?- said Phanterlily while patting his shoulder.
-Well this is what happened- started the dragon slayer.
People stopped still by what they were seeing. A big and scary man with daisy flowers (Levy's flowers) in a hand and a book in the other. Of course any other night Gajeel would have send all of them to the nearest hospital but this night he was specially nervous about what he was going to do. He from all people was going to confess his love, in a romantic way, to the bookworm. "What the hell is wrong with me!" he thought to himself "This is not me. What have you done to me Shrimp?". But suddenly he stopped his track when he smelt the scent of shorty and the one of THAT GUY. He followed it and what he saw next broke his heart into a thousand of pieces.
-I I love you- he heard the Shrimp say and kissed the guy. He felt the flowers fell to the ground and tears falling through his cheeks. As soon as he saw them left he turned around and went home.
The exeed stood there watching his partner shed a few more tears and finally said- You should tell her how you feel about her.
-What the fuck cat! You haven't heard a damn of what i said. I am late, she already has someone she loves!- shouted Gajeel changing his sadness with anger.
-Yes i heard all the damn of what you said- told him Lily- Is you who doesn't understand a fuck!- now it was his turn to be angry.
-What do you mean?- asked the iron dragon slayer wiping his tears.
-Even though she already has someone she loves you can't just give up you truly love her. Don't you?
-Of course i do. I have already told you that- spatted Gajeel still not understanding what was Lily trying to get with this.
-What i'm trying to say is that you can't just keep your feelings to yourself you should fight for her. Let her know that she has more options from where to look.
-B but what if she says no- said lowering his head the iron mage.
Phanterlily was now vexed, this guy wasn't his partner anymore he was someone else. Someone he doesn't like. The exeed turn into his true form and took Gajeel from the neck of his shirt making him stand and look into his eyes- Who the hell are!- he shouted- And what did you do with Gajeel!
-What are you saying i'm Gajeel- said the dragon slayer while struggling to brake free but just caused that Lily tightened his grip and slammed him into the wall- What the hell Lily!
-No you are not Gajeel-statement the exeed gaining control of his feelings and realizing him- He would never act like you. He would stand up no matter how many times he falls. If you truly love her as much as i think and you say tell her she may feel the same for you- when Pantherlily saw the iron mage open his mouth to complain he added- And don't you dare to mention the kiss and the words you saw this night, you would have done the same if you were as drunk as to be able to win a match with Cana.
Gajeel's eyes widened in shock, confusion and shock- What are you trying to say?
-Ah- Lily sighed- What i'm trying to say is that when Levy left the guild tonight she was after she won a competition of drinking against Cana. And if you are asking me how do i know this the answer is Juvia. She came here to compel you to tell Levy your feelings. She also said that Levy couldn't stop talking and complaining about you- after seeing the hope wiping off his eyes he quickly added- As well as she shouted to the hole guild that she loved you.
Now he really opened his eyes as much that he looked like an owl- Well lily let's go to sleep- said very cheerful.
-What? Why now?- asked confused the exeed.
-Well we need our energies, tomorrow you are gong to help me confess to the Shrimp.
The exeed chuckled and went to bed as well.
The next morning
-But Natsu i don't want to go- he heard bunny girl complain.
-But Luceee! it's gonna be fun- said the fire dragon slayer with a toothie smile.
-Agh ok i'll go- finally gave up the celestial mage.
"Poor bunny girl she doesn't even know what was going to happened to her" thought Gajeel while smirking- Good luck fire head.
Natsu noticing that he knew smirked as well and said- You to metal head- With that he turn away with a confused Lucy and leaving a blushing Gajeel.
-What was that?- asked the blonde girl.
-Nothing just a dragon slayer's thing.
-Ok...- said a not very convinced Lucy.
The iron dragon slayer snapped off his blush when he heard the laugh Lily was trying to contain- Shut up cat! Let's go.
-As you say Gajeel as you say- he continued to laughing as low as possible but with his super hearing the dragon slayer could hear him which only cause him to get really pissed off. They finally reached the guild and slammed the door opened which produced a few guild members to look at them. But to Gajeel the only look that was important was the one of his Shrimp. Noticing that she was staring back he was the first one to brake the eye contact and went to his usual table. "Oh shit she is coming, i need to do it now i can't act like a coward all my life" he encouraged himself "I can do this"
-Lily let's do it now- he told his partner.
-Now are yo sure?- asked a little bit unsure the exeed.
-Yes i'm sure. Do you remember the plan?- questioned the iron mage.
-Yes i do- informed him. When Levy was in front of the table he stood up quickly and left, leaving the solid script mage thinking "Oh no he is mad at me from yesterday! Now he should hate me". She could feel her eyes ready to cry her heart out when he hear Lily say- Don't worry he doesn't hate he just want to give you two gifts.
-Two gifts?- asked amazed- After how i treated him yesterday?
-Sit down- said Pantherlily indicating the place were Gajeel was before. Still confused she nodded and sat next to him- This is the first one opened it and read the first page- he said/ordered giving her a book.
She did as she was told. The book was called HISTORY OF THE DRAGON METALICANA, She was really surprised specially when she read what was inside:
Shrimp if you are reading this i really messed things up.
As you may have already know i would never say this word
out loud that is way i wrote them down, knowing how much
you like to read. I'm sorry Shrimp, you are the most important
and treasured person in my life i would never be able to stand
being hated by you. That is why i gave you this book, it has the
history of my "family" you may say. Is from where i came. Maybe
you can understand me a little bit more with this. I haven't even
read it yet, so you should tell me later what it is written in there
but i'll ask you to look after it after all it is one of the few things
with my piercings that i have left of my "father" Metalicana.
Once more i'm really sorry Shrimp, i hope one day you may forgive me.
When she finished reading it she was crying so much that it could fill a complete sea but this time they were tears of happiness and love. Lily notice that and when he saw her close the book and embrace it tight he smiled sweetly and thought "This two are really idiots not to be able to notice they love each other so much".
-So where is the other gift?- asked the little mage turning to look at the exeed.
-He is preparing it we just need to wait a bit more- she nodded and waiting anxious and patiently.
Next Chapter: What is that "dragon slayer thing"? Which is the second gift?
