Chapter 2

Everyone saw Gajeel storm out of the guild, no one was dumb enough to say anything to him besides Natsu of course.

"FIGHT ME GAJEEL!" Natsu exclaimed, already in a fighting stance. All he gave Natsu was a deathly glare, and he continued to walk out. Everyone was silent for a moment, and then Levy came running out after Gajeel.

"Gajeel WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN_" Levy was cut short at the massive guild doors shutting in her face, separating her a Gajeel. As Levy walked back to the library defeated, everyone started mumbling to one another. What has sweet little Levy done to piss of a big brute like Gajeel? Lucy tried to catch up to Levy, but she had already made her way into the library and locked the door, preventing anyone from coming in and disturbing her. She was figuring out how she was going to fix the hole in the floor she made without thinking of the aftermath. She forgot about a spell she hadn't used in quite sometime.

"Solid Script: ground." She said, with hardly any emotion in her usual perky voice. The ground didn't match the glossy wood flooring of the rest of the library, but at least there wasn't a gaping hole right in front of the door anymore. Anyone who didn't know it was there would fall right in the second they walked in. Gajeel went to his home, only a five minute walk from the guild, the previous people moved out because of the noise Fairy Tail caused, but Gajeel was used to it already, and Mira usually closed the doors at 10:00 as a courtesy for the other residence around, and opened again at 8:00 AM. Gajeel went to his iron pile and kicked it over, spreading the iron all over his floor. 'The Shrimp is probably going to blab to everyone that I can't read and I'll get laughed out of the guild hall tomorrow' he thought as he sat in his favorite chair in the corner. Lily's voice soon made it's way into Gajeel's head being the voice of reason. 'Now you know Levy wouldn't do that, and she meant no harm, she was just concerned for you' Lily's voice said. Gajeel knew that was probably true, but she shouldn't have pushed him to say it, it wasn't something he was ready to share with her, or anyone for that matter. The only one that knew was Lily, because he had to read all of the job requests to Gajeel. Gajeel was only trying to learn how to read so he could go on missions by himself while Lily was gone, but it seemed that it wasn't really working for him. He supposed he had someone else to read them to him now that Levy knew, but Gajeel decided against asking Levy, he knew reading was something he had to learn. With that decided, Gajeel made his way into his room and fell asleep. Levy though was still locked away in the library, sulking to herself for making Gajeel not trust her, and pushing him to far, even for him. She noticed it was nearing 10:00, Mira's closing time, but she didn't want to face anyone right now. Not even Mira. Levy heard a knock on the library door.

"Levy dear" Mira's voice rang out. Speak of the devil, or should she say demon?

"What?" Levy replied, having that come out a lot harsher than intended.

"I'm closing the hall, it's time for you to home, want me to walk you?"

"No thanks Mira, I'd rather walk alone." Levy said opening the door, head down, walking past Mira out the door, to Fairy Hills. She made her way to her room and plopped down on her bed, arms spread out to her sides, hair spread like a fan. She got thinking, just as Gajeel did. 'How am I going to make this up to him?' 'Is he really that angry with me?' 'Will he speak to me tomorrow?' Levy was nervous that she really had crossed the line. His reading capability was not something he was ready to share with her, and she should have respected that, instead of trapping him in a hole until he told her. 'I am a horrible person' Levy thought to herself. She rolled over and went to bed, after deciding she would talk to Gajeel tomorrow and make a formal apology.
