Through a Strangers Eyes

Librarian

"Close the door or you'll let the cold air in! Oh, hello, Levy!" I greet one of my favorite visitors. The petite bluenette quickly closes the door.

"Hello! Sorry, Mrs. Moji." She replies sheepishly. "Have you got any new books?"

"Ah! Yes, we do actually. I got a new shipment of fantasy novels! I put them all on that shelf over there." I point her in the direction of the new arrivals section. "Oh, and I saw one book in particular you might be interested in."

I hand her a large old book with a deep burgundy leather cover and gold writing. "It isn't new per say, rather a very old book, but it is new here." I tell her smiling briefly.

Her face brightens up as she takes the book and looks at it in admiration. With a "thank you so much!" she runs off to look at the new arrivals.

Hours later, the bell of the store rings again and I look to see a new visitor. A tall, menacing man with unruly black hair and piercings entered.

Oh my! He looks like a thug!

I look around. Most of my other costumers have left for the day. The only people left are Levy, myself, and now this… this… hooligan!

I look over to where Levy was looking at the new arrivals earlier to see she had retreated to the fantasy section.

A shadow looms over me and I look up to see this hooligan towering above me.

Oh, he thinks he can push me around can he? Well this young man's about to get a mouthful!

"Have you seen a young woman here? She's short and has blue hair. Her name's Levy." The man asked gruffly.

"Why, may I ask, are you looking for her?" I ask sharply.

"What's it to you? I'm her partner and we were supposed to leave for a mission an hour ago." He grumbled the last part.

I was taken aback by this. As I looked him over once more I could see he was a strong man, and I noticed the Fairy Tail guild stamp on his shoulder. So he might be her partner…

"Gajeel!" Levy popped her head out from behind the fantasy section, a smile brighter than the sun.

Hmm… well if Levy knows and trusts this hooligan, then I know he's no threat to me…

"Shorty. We were supposed to leave. An hour ago."

"Oh." Levy paused for a second. "Oh! Oh my gosh! Sorry! I'm so sorry Gajeel!" burst out quickly before running to get her bag and jacket where she left it back in the fantasy aisle.

I sighed. That girl will be late for her wedding day if she keeps this up…

Beside me, the young man grumbled under his breath. He was leaning against the counter with his eyes fixed on the spot where Levy had disappeared to. He looked as if he wanted to go after her, to help her. He looked at the spot she had been with a sort of longing.

"You be good to her, you hear me, young man?" I tell him strictly.

"Huh, what…?" His ears turning slightly pink. "I… we're not…" he sighed. "I don't deserve her. We're only partners…"

Just then Levy bounced back into the room. "I'm so sorry Gajeel, I just found this new book and… well you know…"

The young man looked at her, his eyes softening just a minute amount. "It's alright. You know since we missed our train we can just take the night one. We're not expected to be there till tomorrow anyways."

"Yeah I guess you're right. Hey! Then why did you make me get my stuff?"

The young man snorted "Gihi, you ran off before I said anything shorty."

Levy blushed.

What makes this man think he doesn't deserve her? Stupid brat.

"Well if we're taking the night train then can we stick around here for a bit, Gajeel? Please?"

She didn't even need to pout or use her puppy eyes and he had already grumbled out a "Fine…"

Levy's face split into a smile and she ran back to the fantasy section.

"Stupid brat, you better treat her well." I tell him as I sort the books behind the counter.

"I… We are not dating, woman!"

"Oh, yes I'm aware of that. But, it doesn't change the fact that the two of you make quite the pair. I don't care whether you're dating or not, young man, you better treat her well."

"I'm trying…" he grumbled under his breath.

I smirked. For the rest of the evening I watched the two of them as I put away books and went around organizing shelves.

That hooligan is crazy if he can't see she likes him… and Levy better notice him staring, and the way he looks at her like nothing else matters…

Gajeel… you better treat her well… hooligan.
