This is my first fanfic ever, so I'm really excited and a bit nervous to share it with you. Please leave suggestions, advice, ideas, and pretty much anything you think I should need in order to get going with writing these fanfictions. I love Gajeel x Levy and that was what I was going to originally write about, but it formed into NaLu so whoops... But, if I continue, I'll be sure to make GaLe my focus! Thank you all my lovely readers!
He Will Run to Her
"Men are stupid," Levy revealed to her best friend, Lucy Heartfilia, "They never understand anything that's completely obvious."
It was a beautiful autumn day in Magnolia, with the breeze ever so slightly sweeping over the tops of the gorgeous trees of vibrant oranges, reds and yellows. Leaves would tumble across the cobblestone and the gusts of wind blew the bluenette's locks into her face, causing her to take out her headband and readjust the loose strands.
"Yeah…" Lucy replied, only sounding half awake.
"Still angry about how stupid Natsu was today?"
"Yeah, I don't know why I bother," Lucy mumbled, pouting her lower lip and staring at her hands.
"It'll get better Lu-chan, I promise. Gajeel has missed all the hints I've been leaving for him about how I feel, and I'm not moping around," Levy told her, but slightly regretting it as the memories of Gajeel dismissing her clues that showed she liked him replayed in her mind.
"But that was my big reveal!" Lucy cried, "I told him that I loved him and he said it back only like a brother! All that courage I built up and I didn't get anything! I was regarded as nothing but a sister again! Why can't he see me the way I see him!"
Levy stopped walking as soon as Lucy ended her ranting. Lucy realized Levy had halted, so she did too. Lucy looked back at Levy with tear brimmed eyes, pleading for a response. The world seemed to go silent, all waiting on Levy's answer.
Then, footsteps.
At first, the feet pounding the stone belonged to someone who was walking briskly, but they soon sped up into a jogging pace.
Finally, the strides became short and fast, those of a sprint. Lucy's demanding stare slowly drifted away from Levy's eyes, and now focused to the left. Levy's hazel eyes followed Lucy's gaze, only to find a pink haired mage running directly towards Lucy. His eyes looked determined but also covered with hidden regret and guilt.
"Lucy!" Natsu screamed, loud enough so that Levy had to take a few steps back in order to spare her ears.
As soon as the Celestial Spirit mage heard her name, she instantly froze. Lucy would never want to be separated from Natsu, but in this moment, getting near him was her worst nightmare.
"I love you too!" Natsu yelled, now only yards away from Lucy.
The way Natsu had said those words, Levy noted, were not in a brotherly way. This time, they were filled with passion, desire, eagerness and pure affection. Levy slowly backed away as Natsu thrust himself upon Lucy to pepper kisses on her lips, neck and cheeks. The way they fit was as perfect as a puzzle, and Levy longed for Gajeel to one day run to her and shower her in kisses, just as Natsu had done to Lucy.
The things I would do for Gajeel to notice me like that, Levy thought as she watched Natsu gleefully lift Lucy and carry her to her house, bridal style.
Loved it? Despised it? I know, I know, really short. I honestly don't know where my fanfics will go so if there's a next time, I'll see you then!
