Hey guys I'm back with another chapter! I would like to start off by saying Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope that you guys have a wonderful holiday! I'm super excited to have this chapter come together I took a nap and the idea came into my mind so let's jump right into it! I also would like to inform you guys that I do not own Fairy tail. The only thing I own is the plot.

Gajeel stared down at Lucy a little bit of hunger in his eyes. They kissed. Well they didn't really kiss… did they? She didn't exactly know anymore. I mean yeah their lips connected but that didn't mean it was a real kiss. All that happened was his lips met her just for a super quick second. So then why was it so awkward between the two? Also wasn't he with Levy?

"Bunny…" he growled out and went to say something before a cough came from behind Gajeel causing him to stop speaking.

"Good morning Lucy, Gajeel." The exceed spoke with a sleepy voice.

"G-Good morning Lily. Breakfast is ready…" Lucy spoke grabbing the food giving a quick glance to Gajeel their eyes meeting, before she disappeared putting the food on the table.

All three of them sat down and started eating. Lucy's thoughts went back to everything that's happened in her life from joining fairy tail to this. While Gajeel thought about what had happened his frustration slowly taking over. Meanwhile Lily sat there and smirked slightly to himself as he saw the interaction that had went down but he wasn't gonna let them know that… at least not yet.

Knock knock knock. Everyone all shot out of their thoughts as they glanced at the door. Gajeel sniffed before letting out a grunt and rolling his eyes.

"Relax: it's just sparky…" he muttered not noticing how Lucy flinched before she got up and walked over to the door opening it staring at the large blonde as he stared down at her. Laxus noticed the slight sadness in her eyes and went to say something before she cut him off.

"What are you doing here?" She asked a little cold.

"I can't to check up on iron ass and you." He grunted out.

"We're fine, he's fine. I'm fine. You can go now." She muttered before quickly moving to close the door only to have it be stopped by his foot.

"Luce." She winced at the nickname before walking away not wanting to deal with it because she knew where the conversation was heading.

"Luce." He called out more sternly but Lucy ignored him cleaning up the breakfast, neither of them remembering that Gajeel was there.

"Lucy." He called to her causing her to flinch some. She knew when he got closer to her full name he was serious but so was she. She could feel the irritation in her voice.

"Lucy mother fucking heartfilia if you do not look at me right now!" He yelled at her causing her to whimper and turn around looking at him.

"What?! What do you want. I told you me and Gajeel are fine why can't you just LEAVE." She half demanded and half begged.

"Because all you've done for the past two months is ignore me. You avoid me every time I come to the guild. Look, you can't even look me in the EYES. Are you still upset about what happened?" Laxus growled out as he stared at her frustrated that she's still upset over it.

"No I'm not. I just want you to leave!" She yelled avoided his gaze.

"See! You are still upset. Lucy you know I love you but I didn't love you like that." He spoke softly.

"Of course you didn't. All the dates you took me on, all the playful kisses and shit was just a game to you. A game that I played and failed at." She laughed bitterly, "in the end after I told you how I felt you sat there and told me that you never felt the same way. You sat there no… I find OUT who it was because I walked in on you guys having sex." She hissed out

"Lucy you can't blame me for that. I told you a thousand times that I didn't want a relationship with you." His eyes narrowed at hers.

As the two continued to go back and forth they had completely forgotten about the other dragon slayer who was there confused. Wait… Bunny was in love with Sparky? Since when? And he chose someone else over her? Even worse she found out by walking in on them having SEX… at this thought Gajeel let out a small growl. Looking up from his spot he stared at the two and felt the sadness and anger flowing off of her.

Sighing softly he pushed himself up and walked over to the two. He grabbed Lucy's arms and pulled her behind her before staring at the large lightning slayer.

"Look, me and bunny are fine so you can leave now." He growled out his teeth showing some as he hated the thought of bunny being sad. Lucy stared at him before hiding behind him some.

Laxus just stared at her before he growled. "Fine. But we aren't done with this conversation Lucy." He turned around and walked out slamming the door behind him.

Gajeel sighed and ran a hand through his hair before he turned around staring at the blonde with a raised eyebrow, as in asking what the fuck had just happened. Lucy just gave a small shake of her head not ready to talk about it just yet, but in the future they would and he would make sure of it too.

For the rest of the day… no. More like for the rest of the time Gajeel healed they didn't the same thing pretty much every day. Lucy would sit and read, while Gajeel and Lily would watch tv. Every now and then Lucy would join them. Gajeel and Lucy would constantly argue and bicker about certain things that would bring amusement to the exceed. He saw the chemistry between the two, unlike them who were blind. Tomorrow they would head back to the guild since Gajeel was fully healed.

*Time Skip To The Next Day And Back To The Guild*

Lucy and Gajeel walked into the guild together arguing over whether brute strength was better or smarts was.

"How can you possible think having muscles is better than having brains?!"

"Because having muscles can save you if you're in danger, and stop you from getting kidnapped!"

"Okay true BUT if you do get kidnapped you can always use your brain to find a way out, and besides having muscles can only get you so far."

"That's the same that goes for brains! It can only get you so far!"

"But having brains can get you further in life than just brute strength!"

"Nu uh!"

"Yuh uh!"

As the two argued, neither one of them had noticed the way the whole guild went quiet and stared at them. Some of them were amused while others were just flat out confused on to how and why the two of them were even arguing about this. They continued to argue until Mirajane cleared her throat causing them to look at her.

"Oh good morning Mirajane." Lucy spoke as Gajeel headed over to his corner, Lily joining him along the way.

"Good morning Lucy." She smiled before giving her a sad smile. She knew Lucy hadn't been the same with her and Laxus ever since what happened. She knew Lucy tried to act like it didn't bother her but she knew it did.

"Lucy… Laxus wants to see you and talk to you later." Mira spoke softly as she saw Lucy stiffen.

"No." It was cold and she felt bad

"But Lucy…" Mira tried to reason with her.

"Mira I don't want to speak with him. Grant it you two did nothing wrong, it's what he did. He lied to me and lead me on. I don't want to see him or speak to him. So you can tell him, I said no." She spoke in nothing but seriousness.

Don't get her wrong. She loved Mirajane. She loved Laxus. She didn't blame Mirajane for anything like she didnt blame Lisanna. She did blame Laxus though. He knew how she felt about him and he continued to play her. He knew what was going to happen and he didn't stop it… she blamed him even though it was her fault.

She watched as Mirajane went up to the second floor to tell Laxus what Lucy said causing him to push the chair back causing a loud creaking sound. This caught the attention of everyone in the guild making them watch Laxus, all but Lucy. Laxus stared at her as he made his way down to her. He gave her a week. A fucking week and now he was gonna talk to her.

"Lucy. We need to talk." He spoke clearly

"No. I don't want to talk to you right now." She was cold.

"Well too fucking bad. Either you will talk to me by Will or I will for you too." He growled out to her.

Tears slowly formed in her eyes as she didn't want to be forced to talk to him. He was about to reach for her when Gajeel came up and threw Lucy over his shoulder.

"Sorry sparky. Me and bunny have a job to take care of. We'll be back in a month." He grunted out and started walking out the door, the blonde on his back not saying anything.

After awhile of walking Lucy grunted on his back the position she was in finally uncomfortable for her.

"You can set me down now.." she muttered softly, before being set down. She turned around and started walking Gajeel following a couple feet behind her.

As they reached her apartment she turned around and mutter a thank you only to receive a grunt in response. She turned to go inside before stopping.

"Hey Gajeel.." she spoke softly, only to get another grunt in response.

She went to open her mouth to say something before closing it. Taking a moment she finally decided on what to say. "I'll see you at the train station tomorrow morning."

With a nod both of them went their separate ways. Lucy went inside and took her bath thinking about what happened before laying down in her nice bed. Cuddling close to her pillow she closed her eyes sighing softly as she began to think about the ruby eye dragon slayer and how he helped her when he had no reason too. A small smile forming on her lips at how kind he had been to her today. She let those thoughts slowly ease her to sleep.

Gajeel, on the other hand, stared at his ceiling while his exceed slept. He thought about bunny and how he almost saw her cry over someone else. It made his heart clench and his inner dragon cry out. He hated seeing her sad because sadness wasn't a good look for her. He knew that bunny was heartbroken now but soon, he would fix her and make her whole again. He would soon have her to himself and that made his inner dragon purr with delight at the thought. Shaking his head he rolled onto his side slowly falling asleep. Both of them not knowing what tomorrow would bring them.
