Chapter 3: Like What You See?
Gajeel woke up very early in the morning and stood outside the closed art studio, with Lily on his shoulders, waiting for owner to show-up. When the owner came to open the studio, Gajeel asked what class Levy McGarden was in. The owner checked the files in his office in search of applicants by name McGarden. He told Gajeel that she was taking classes with Professor Jay. He waited in front of the classroom waiting for the instructor to show up.
"Who are you?" the professor asked.
"Levy goes here doesn't she?" Lily stated.
"A talking cat?!" he gasped.
"Yes, but anyways…" Lily sighed, "Gajeel Redfox is here to volunteer."
"Oh?" professor Jay raised a brow towards Gajeel, "are you another Fairy Tail mage, I assume?"
Gajeel showed his guild mark to the instructor, "Gray volunteered yesterday."
"Yes he did." The professor replied, "today's session was to be one of the girls turn to model in front of the class but, looking at you now, you have some very interesting features outside of the norm."
"Is that suppose to mean 'yes'?"
"Of course," he smiled, "I must say that you will provide a challenge for the girls today, please, follow me inside."
Gajeel and Lily followed the professor into his classroom office and gave him a robe to put on.
"Please, take off your clothes and put these on" the professor told him, "I'll be outside to prepare for today's class. The girls will be in about an hour, please stay here until I call for you."
Gajeel said nothing and Lily said his 'thank you's' for him.
"Are you sure about this?" Lily asked him.
"Of course I am" Gajeel replied, "is there a reason why I shouldn't be?"
"I have feeling that Lucy left a bit details about this class."
"Whatever," he huffed, "we're here already. Rather would not waste the time and effort for this morning."
"If you say so." Lily snickered, as he snuck his hands in the files that contained nude drawings of people that Gajeel was not aware of. I see what you did here, Lucy. I don't think that even Mira would take it this far...he thought to himself as he held back a chuckle. Gajeel took his clothes off and bundled them together as he set them down on a chair. He put his robe on, wearing only his boxers underneath as he waited for Levy.
Class started and everyone took their seat as the professor cleared his throat to start class.
"All right, everyone!" he announced, "Today, we have another special guest!"
"Another one?" Lucy asked.
"I wonder who it is this time." Mira asked herself.
"Originally I was planning for one of you to volunteer today but after seeing him, I just could not resist and say no. I'm sure he will provide a real challenge to your skills."
"He?" Levy gulped again as she looked around the classroom seeing the same confused stares from the rest of the girls. She shrank herself and tried to hide once again behind the canvas knowing that this time her guesses were right that it was…
"Please welcome, Gajeel Redfox!" the professor called as Gajeel came out with Lily and was wearing his robe with a scowling look on his face and stood cross armed in front the classroom glaring at the most of the women who had their jaws gaped open to the floor.
"Gajeel-kun?!" Juvia gasped.
"Even Gajeel is here?" Mira said.
"How the heck did Levy get you to volunteer?!" Evergreen gasped.
"Never knew Levy can be very persuasive." Erza commented, "I must know how her methods!"
"Shut up!" Gajeel snarled, "I'm doing this because I want to, got a problem with that?"
"Where is Levy?" the professor asked.
Lily flew away from Gajeel's shoulders and looked for Levy shrinking her self behind a canvas in the corner. "Here she is!" Lily pointed at her. Levy felt annoyed at what Lily just did to her and poked her head out of the canvas
"Ah Levy, I must thank you for suggesting him."
"But..I didn…"
"Oh don't be so modest Levy." The instructor said, "Since you suggested for him to volunteer I insist you come to the front of the class. Just like how Juvia did it."
Levy was lost for words and hesitantly stood up slowly gathering her stuff.
"Psst!" Lucy called, "Go ahead, don't be shy!" She winked to her best friend and nudge her stomach with her elbow.
As Levy walked down in front of the class, she earned a few cat calls from the other girls, giggling and winking at her. She blushed even more and by the time she reached the front of the class her cheeks were rosy in color. She looked up at Gajeel who only gave her his trademark laugh and looked away towards the professor who set up a canvas in front her and a chair. She sat down and set her stuff on the canvas waiting for the next move.
"Gajeel, you may take off your robe" the professor instructed.
Gajeel let the robe slide off his body and Levy sighed in relief that he was still wearing his boxers.
"I'm sorry, but those have to come off too."
"What?!" Gajeel gasped.
"This is a life drawing class," he explained, "hence people are drawn in the nude."
Gajeel looked shocked as he turned to face his cat who was silently snickering to himself and then faced Levy who was starting to glow red in the face. He gave her a 'when were you going to tell me?' look before an idea popped into his head that maybe this was her way of asking him to see him naked. With a wide smirk, he pulled off his boxers off and watched Levy's eyes widen at seeing his full frontal view. She became red in the face and shied away not knowing where to look but her eyes always manage to take a peek at him.
"Like what you see?" He grinned.
Levy almost lost it, and became redder than Erza's hair. She wanted to say something but was completely speechless and emotionally flustered.
"Oh my, he certainly is well endowed" Mira complimented.
"He even has a piercing 'down there'?!" Evergreen gasped.
"No amount of cakes or alcohol will make me forget this image…" Erza whined as she rubbed her temples.
"Well I certainly wasn't expecting Gajeel to follow through with this." Lucy whispered to herself.
"Mr. Redfox?" the professor called, "please pick a pose you would like to do so we can get started."
Gajeel stared at Levy as he thought about it. He gave a wicked grin at how much fun he was going to have teasing her.
"I got one," he grunted "the shrimp will love it."
Levy wasn't sure what to feel about what he said and began to feel a sense of magic energy coming from Gajeel. What is he going to do now? She thought.
"Iron Shadow Dragon Mode!" Gajeel yelled as he transformed his body into shadow and iron.
Levy was steaming red on her face now to see a naked iron shadow Gajeel that she had to hide her face with her hands. Her body, unfortunately, was betraying her as the finger in her separated a bit open to see look at him.
"Go ahead, shorty." He wooed, "I know you like what you see, so go ahead and draw me."
He was not lying. His dragon senses could smell her arousal and as well as bit of shyness and fear. He loved it and watched Levy start to draw with shaky hands.
"Maginficent!" the professor squealed, "It's like looking at a sculpture!"
"Levy looks like she's going to pass out." Lucy said.
"She'll be fine" Mira replied, "Just let her adjust a bit."
Mira however was wrong. Two hours later, Levy's mind and body had both betrayed her as she got closer to drawing his reproductive regions. She can feel lust building up inside her as well as anger. For the past few hours she felt intimidated, confused, scared, shy and in love. She poured all her emotions into the drawing. Gajeel has never seen her so driven like this before, he didn't know what to think of it, it was like watching her cast her Solid Script magic on a drawing. But one thing for sure is that he liked it.
He was eager to see what she has drawn and when the time came, he went back to his normal form feeling exhausted at sustaining the iron shadow dragon mode for almost three hours. Erza was the first to show her drawing of a stick and blob figure surrounded by dark etches of graphite.
"As if I look like that!" Gajeel growled.
"Well, this is how I see you...deal with it." She replied.
"Ohhhh look at Levy's!" Juvia called.
Gajeel rushed to see her drawing and smiled proudly at how detailed and well-structured that drawing of him was. She even captured the glistening iron of his body and the dark aura of his shadow and how detailed the cuts on his body and the ridges and depths of his muscle and even his….
"This is quite a masterpiece!" Lily gasped.
"Gihi" Gajeel laughed, "What I'd I tell ya? I'd be the best damn thing she ever drew! Ain't the right shrimp?"
He looked for her but Levy was missing from the classroom.
"Oi? Levy?!" He called.
"She left…" Lucy replied, "you should probably put some clothes on and go after her."
He ran to the office and put on his clothes as fast as he could and ran out the building to look for her with Lily following closely behind. He knew what she may be feeling and doesn't really know what to say to her when he does find her. He sniffed the air and locked on to her scent.
