"Damn," Gajeel muttered, "I hope sprinkler's okay."
"Sure she will be Gajeel," Levy assured him, "She's a big girl. Don't worry about her."
"I know that," he huffed, "Its the ice princess that I don't trust."
"Let them figure it out," the script mage patted his arm, "You're so cute worrying about Juvia like that," she cooed.
"Stop it," the dragon slayer blushed, "I'm just looking out for a friend. I'm tired of her crying. Its annoying."
"Oh stop it, you big baby," She teased, "You are practically her big brother so its only natural that she would come to you," she held Lily in her arms, who was enjoying his kiwi juice that they bought from the market, "But seriously, you never liked her or didn't even try to go out with her back in Phantom days?"
"Of course we tried," he confessed, "But we were just crazy teens with crazy hormones at that time and we did go out for quite some time, at first it was nice because again, teenagers with hormones. But it came to pass when it felt really weird. We broke up and we realized that we're better as friends.
"Ah. Makes sense," the blunette said, "How'd you two became close?"
The dragon slayer smirked, "Back in the Phantom days, I was like Laxus during Fantasia," he glanced at the script mage, "I only wanted strong people and I picked on the weaklings," he said, Levy only rolled her eyes, "I made the mistake of teasing her rain that it was too gloomy and its giving rust to the metal bars, which I love to eat and it annoyed the hell out me, you know?" He rambled on, "Anyway. So I complained about the rain and I didn't know she was around. She got really, really, reeaally pissed and I was the first person in the guild who experienced her 'Water Lock' in 'Sierra' mode," he continued, "Needless to say, she was the only crazy person who did that and for a dude like me, I found it hot," he paused to bite the metal that he was holding on, "We became good friends after she went out with Bora who broke up with her because of the rain and I found her on the streets, being pathetic after kicking my ass, crying over the weakling dude. For whatever reason, I couldn't leave her there so kind of started there and we went out for a couple of weeks and a couple of this and that then we broke up then we decided to remain friends," he finished.
Levy took in his story and it is not that surprising if the two went out and probably abused their teenage hormones. She understood that their old guild was dark by nature.
"So you guys became friends because she kicked your ass," Levy teased, "Is that why she's called 'Juvia of the Deep'?"
"Nope. She gained by respect," He answered, "No one messes with the Black Steel Gajeel, well except her. Even the rest of the Element 4 never even dared to cross me, except her. And honestly, there's not one person who can match me except Sprinkler. It was also because we were the same. Grew up alone, wanting to protect ourselves... Thought emotions would only bring more harm so we kind of neglected it, till she met the ice bastard."
"Sorry to break your little chat, but we have arrived," Lily jumped out of Levy's arms, "Time to work."
"Gee Hee," he chuckled, "Don't get in my way, shrimp."
"Don't worry," Levy smirked, "I can handle myself."
"It's a brawl then," Lily said turning into his human form.
"Juvia's lucky to get the new Phantom Lord," Gajeel said, "I would love to pay my old friends a visit and fight like the old times."
"Well, you can't have everything," Levy replied.
"I think I already do," The dragon slayer remarked as he looked in her eyes intensely and smirked.
The script mage only blushed as they entered the door of the guild that they intend to crush.
"Well what do we have here," Gajeel told the guild members who were startled, "Gee hee. Mind if we play with you folks a bit?"
