Sorry for the delay, I went on a little vacation with my husband and son, I try to update once per week. Hope you enjoy the new chapter! remember, feedback is appreciated.
I was wondering if Mashima has revealed Gajeel's age, does anyone know It?This chapter takes place the week they had for training before the S-Class exam. This chapter is dedicated to my wonderful husband who helped me writing the chapter and loves Fairy Tail too.
I admit I've been thinking a lot about Gajeel lately.
Six days ago Master Makarov announced the candidates for the next S-Class exam. Surprisingly, I was one of them! I couldn't believe it! I thought you would be one of them; Lu-Chan, you're stronger than me.
What surprised me the most was when Jet and Droy were arguing over who would be my partner. Jet claimed he was faster than Droy, Droy claimed his magic was more suited for battle and told Jet that he wanted to go with me because he's going after me. Gajeel stepped up behind me, saying that if I really wanted to become an S-Class mage, he'll lend me a hand. He scared the hell out of me, I hope he learns someday to be more polite and gentle when he talks.
"I'll blow away any guy you don't like during the exam," he said. I looked up at him considering my options to pass the exam, having him as my exam partner.
"My body is small and I don't have any redeeming features, so I might lose quick," I answered him. I know I think poorly about myself, but it's true.
He lifted me by my dress' collar scaring me again while telling me how can I tell him weak stuff even before he started to help me?
"No! Let me down!" I told him kicking on the air trying to get myself free from him.
"I'll make you big," he responded; causing me to blush furiously making my face match Erza's hair colour.
Jet and Droy's jaws dropped to the floor and Pantherlily smiled approvingly to him when he said that. Jet and Droy admitted they couldn't compete against Gajeel for being my companion. Knowing how stubborn he is, I knew I couldn't change his mind even if I tried to.
"Let's see how you'll be able to make me big, Gajeel," I told him giving him my biggest and brightest smile. Now it was his turn to blush, or so I thought. Instead, he released me and I fell to the ground. I glared daggers at him and went to the bar, intent on ordering some food before heading back home.
"Shrimp, meet me tomorrow at sunrise. We'll start our training first thing in the morning." I didn't notice him coming until he whispered into my ear. His voice sent shivers down my spine and I wished we were alone right then so I could have my way with him. Unfortunately we were at the Guild Bar and Mira was watching us closely. I nodded at him because I couldn't trust my voice at the moment. I waved good bye to him and Lily and then Mira came over to take my order.
When I finished eating my meal, I said farewell to everybody and I left to go home to Fairy Hills. I went to the shared bath hoping I could clear my mind and relax. After the bath I went back to my room to get dressed and go to bed.
I woke up a few hours later and while I was about to start to dress I started thinking out loud, "I can't believe Gajeel volunteered to help me, I wonder what he has in his mind for training." I sighed.
"Has anyone told you, you worry too much, Shorty? Gihihihi!"
"GAJEEL! What are you doing in my room? Do you know what privacy means?"
"I do, but it wouldn't be funny that way." He answered looking at me in the eye. "By the way, nice pyjamas!"
I glared at him, then I remembered I was only wearing a long shirt. I threw my pillows at him, telling him to leave my room immediately. He dodged them easily and laughed, I was very embarrassed!
"I'll wait for you outside on your balcony. Be quick, we have no time to waste!"
Luckily I had packed my travel bag the night before. I changed my clothes and went to the balcony, he was standing over at the rail watching the sunrise. I joined him enjoying the sight; the warmth of the sun's rays, and the harmony of the moment. I dared to look at him, his face was relaxed. I could say he was enjoying the moment like me.
"I like this time of day, it's peaceful," he commented. I nodded and we stayed there for a moment enjoying each other's company. "Are you ready, Levy?"
"Of course, Master! I'm ready! Where are we going to train?"
"We're going to the mountains the whole week. We'll spend most of the day walking, let's go!"
We started walking in comfortable silence. We didn't need to talk at the moment, but something or somebody was missing. "Where's Lily, Gajeel? Isn't he coming with us?" They were inseparable since they came back from Edolas.
"He isn't coming and he can't either, it's just you and me all week."
We kept walking for a few hours without saying anything; words weren't necessary, we were enjoying the silence.
We stopped at noon to eat lunch that he cooked and drank water under a tree. Gajeel surprised me with his cooking abilities. I thought he didn't know how to cook because I've only seen him drinking beer or eating iron, but, this meal was tasty.
"Shrimp, are you done with the food? If you are, you can rest for an hour, then we'll head to the mountains again."
"I'm done, I didn't know you could cook. Let me clean up the dishes, please." I cast water over the dishes and in a few minutes they were clean and neat.
I laid down using my bag as a pillow and I fell asleep. I woke up when Gajeel started shaking me gently, as I opened my eyes I noticed his face was very close to mine.
"Time to wake up, short stuff!" He got up and gave me his hand to help me stand up, I took it and grabbed my bag then we headed to the mountains again.
At sunset we reached the place Gajeel had in mind. It was beautiful! The place was a valley in the middle of three mountains; there was a lake, trees, a few big rocks and caves.
"I love this place Gajeel! It's beautiful! Do you come here often to train?"
"Yes. I'm glad you like it, because we'll start training at sunrise."
We set our camp inside one of the caves. While he went to hunt our supper, I started to ready the fire for cooking and to get warm. While I was waiting for him I imagined what kind of food he would bring me. Knowing him, it wouldn't be strange if he brought me a bear or a bigger animal.
"I'm back, Shorty." He gave me a few fish, and while I cleaned and cooked them, he laid down on the floor and watched me. This made me blush but it was my opportunity to show him I can cook delicious food too, and that I can take care of him.
When I was done I served the both of us and we started to eat. "You cook very well, Levy." I blushed again.
"Well, usually I cook while I'm on a mission with my team because Jet and Droy's cooking abilities aren't good," I replied. "So Gajeel, what is our schedule for tomorrow? We'll wake up with the sunrise; but what do you plan to do for making me big?"
"You'll see tomorrow. Now go to sleep! I'll take care of the dishes and the fire, Tiny. Rest because you'll need your strength."
Knowing that he was with me, I unrolled my sleeping bag and I laid down inside of it. The last thing I saw before I fell asleep was him, watching me.
A loud noise woke me up and when I opened my eyes, I didn't recognise where I was. Looking around at my surroundings, I saw the campfire was almost extinguished. I remembered I was in a cave located in a valley with Gajeel. I looked for him but he was nowhere in sight. I decided to look for him, so I exited the cave and started searching. My feet brought me to the lake and I wasn't ready to see what I saw.
Gajeel was indeed there, gracefully swimming and diving NAKED! Lu-Chan, believe me when I tell you his body is amazing. His well defined muscles, the way his wet hair cascaded down his back and the playful glint his eyes had.
"Do you like what you see?" He told me, "I could hear you approaching me for a while. Remember that Dragon Slayers have good hearing. Do you want to join me?"
Shyly but without hesitation, I pulled off my clothes. I stripped down to just my panties and bra, and went inside the water. It wasn't cold, it was surprisingly warm.I swam to him and he started talking.
"Levy, it's been awhile since I wanted to tell you this, I'm really sorry for hurting you and your team when I was at Phantom Lord. You didn't deserve it."
I hushed him putting a finger over his lips, "I've already forgiven you for a long time, Gajeel. Stop blaming yourself."
"I don't deserve you Levy, you were the first person who trusted me of the guild. Even if the first month when I joined Fairy Tail, you avoided being near me because you feared me. You took care of my wounds after Laxus' attack, I can't understand why you just can't hate me."
What broke my heart was when I looked at him and could see remorse and regret in his eyes, a few tears were rolling down his cheeks. "I can't hate you because you've saved my life many times, you have taken care of me too, and you've been a really good friend when I needed you." I reached my hand to his face and wiped his tears away. He pulled me into his arms and cried over my shoulder.
