Hello all! I'm sorry I haven't uploaded in a few days. But I had a bit of trouble starting this chapter. Why is the first sentence always hard for me? ^^; Oh well. This one is also in someone's point of view. I am still having trouble getting the hang of it, so sorry if it randomly turns into third person. I did go through the chapter but I'm pretty sure there will still be a few mistakes, I'll edit it later so no worries, Now on to the story!
(Gajeel POV)
My eye twitched in annoyance as the sunlight flooded through a space between my blinds, there was an annoying knocking at my door, leading up the stairs and up to the rest of the house. I looked around my room and sighed. everything was exactly how I left it two years ago. Since I did have the entire basement to myself I had plenty of room. A large bed pushed against the left corner of the room with black, cotton sheets. In front of that, there was a large black sofa with a flat screen tv pushed against the wall in front of me. Next to my bed was a large desk covered with incomplete school assignments and extremely old papers from my days in phantom Lord, containing sensitive information. on the left wall there was a sliding door and next to that was a staircase that led upstairs.
The knocking continued, I grew increasingly annoyed as I threw my warm cozy blanket off of me. the cold air hitting my bare chest, making me want to curl back into bed. With long strides, I made my way up the stairs, taking two at a time I could feel the cold wooden planks against my bare feet, I flung the door open to see my little brother standing there looking just as annoyed as I was, his red eyes watching a green kitten perched on his shoulder looking absentmindedly before averting his attention to me.
"The hell do you want!" I grumbled as a yawn escaped from my lips. My foul mood obviously oozing out of me, but I knew he would never ask, he knew better.
"Mom told me to wake you up, so you won't be late for school again." I looked him up and down and realized he was completely dressed and ready to go. His dark black hair up in a pony tail, his bangs falling over one of his eyes with a scar peeking out past his bangs. He wore a white collared, button up shirt and normal school gray pants. It has been three months since I came home and my mom still didn't know about my arrest from the first night. But something told me Rogue knew and just wasn't saying anything. I shrugged it off, knowing he would never rat me out.
Although we were brothers we had decided to go to two different schools. Rogue was a second year at Sabertooth high and I was in my last year at FairyTail high. I scratched the back of my head as he walked off and closed the door. Hearing his kitten, Frosch meow as Rogue scratched his head. As I was getting ready for school there was another knock on my door. This time it was at my other door, leading outside. I pulled that stupid light yellow sweatshirt over my head and zipped my gray pants up before I slid the blinds to see a blunette standing on the other side. I grumbled as I slid the sliding door open to let her in.
"Juvia thinks Gajeel woke up on the wrong side of the bed." She held a finger up as she spoke. She sat down at my desk chair and watched me get ready for school. I rolled up my sleeves to my elbows and placed a black wristband on each wrist as I walked over to where she sat.
"No way Rain woman, what gave me away?" I rolled my eyes as she picked up a brush and started running it through my long spiky black hair. I hunched over hoping that would help her reach the top of my head better.
I smirked at the thought of how much I'd have to hunch over for another blunette. I'd probably just have to sit down for her to reach the top of my head without having to strain herself. My smirk had grown into a grin. Although I've only been back for three months, after the first night with the little shrimp, we had become very close, some would say inseparable. I grunted as I remembered she was the reason for my bad mood this morning. That shrimp hadn't spoken to me in a week! Before I could think about it any longer I noticed Juvia arched an eyebrow in confusion through the mirror. "Gajeel-Kun looked happy for a moment before getting grumpy again. Are you alright?" I grunted and she nodded, understanding it to be a yes as she handed me my headband.
I grabbed my keys and phone as we both left the room and began to walk to school. We walked in a peaceful silence, the only sounds coming from other student's around us also making their way to school. Some in whispered conversations as we walked down the gray sidewalk. It was a sunny day but there was a chilly breeze that accompanied it, being autumn it was expected. We walked around the corner to see a group of familiar guys walking in the same direction as we were.
Before I could say anything the stalker squealed "Gray-sama!" I flinched at the high pitched sound. Although I've known Juvia for many years, as she was neighbor, close friend and at one point my only friend, I was still not used to the way she fawned over that idiot. The boys in front of us stopped in their tracks to look back at us. No more than two seconds later she had both arms wrapped around the ice idiot. His face instantly turning red. I rolled my eyes as I reached the group of Natsu, Gray, Loke, and Jellal.
Natsu looked at me with confusion clearly plastered on that stupid ugly mug of his. He looked next to either side of me and then behind me, with a thoughtful expression. He then continued to pat the air next to either side of me. He looked at me with suspicion as he scratched his cheek.
"The hell are you doing?!" My mood quickly darkening further at his idiotic antics. It was way too early for this nonsense.
"Just making sure what I was seeing was real. I'm just a bit surprised Levy wasn't with you was all." I flinched at the mention of her name. I realized they all saw my reaction and I began to walk to school, ignoring all of their questioning looks. I wasn't in the mood for this.
As I neared the school my phone began to buzz. With a bit of hope I looked down, hoping it was a message from a certain someone. I squeezed the device in my hand in anger as I read the name 'FireBreath' I shoved the phone back in my pocket.
"Hey man! That's so not cool!" I heard him yell a few steps behind me. My face paled as I made it to the school gates. My eyes immediately landing on the source of my bad mood. Like everyone else she wore the school uniform. She wore a short blue skirt and a yellow school sweatshirt. Her wavy blue hair pushed back by a yellow headband, she also wore long black stockings that reached mid-thigh and brown school shoes. I looked away quickly as I saw the smile on her face. I was annoyed. I was in such a bad mood and there she was all smiles and giggles with Bunny girl.
I sighed as I walked over to the two, who had stupidly decided to stand right in front of the school doors as they continued their conversation. "Excuse me" I grumbled as I pushed my way between the two.
"What's his deal?" I hear bunny girl say behind me. But I don't stick around to hear the rest.
I made my way to my homeroom ignoring everyone who spoke to me, but that wasn't anything new. I sat down and laid my head on my desk and closed my eyes hoping to sleep a bit before school started. As I drifted to sleep I heard a loud thud as someone smacked their hand down on my desk next to my face. My eyes shot open and I shot up towering over the idiot who dared to mess with me.
"What did you do to Levy-chan?" Bunny girl stood in front of me. Her hands on her hips, with a scolding look on her face. I rolled my eyes and sat back down, ignoring her question.
"Gajeel, what did you do?" She asked again, this time more demandingly. I sighed as I looked around the classroom. We had gotten everyone's attention at this point.
"Piss off." I grumbled as I looked out the window next to me, watching as more students filed in through the school gates and towards the school doors.
"what did you say?" she shrieked, practically yelling in my ear. I turned to see her face completely red with anger.
I was running out of patience today and school hadn't even started. " I said fuck off! If you want to know so bad ask her yourself! She's your best friend ain't she? Besides she looked like she was perfectly fine anyways. It's not like I did anything!" I turned my head away from her looking out the window again. My hand gripping the corner of the desk, my knuckles turning white in anger.
She huffed as she turned away from me. "You're such a jerk!" She yelled as she went to the other side of the classroom and sat down. I was pretty glad she was the only one in my homeroom from our friends, if not then I'd be pestered all day with the same question over and over.
School went by agonizingly slow as did work. I sighed in annoyance as I walked towards my home the bright moonlight along with the streetlights, lighting my pathway. My phone buzzed again. I rolled my eyes expecting it to be Natsu again. My eyes widened as "Shrimp" was the name I read off the phone. I quickly, probably too eagerly, unlocked my phone and read the message.
Well the next chapter will most likely be in Levy's point of view which will reveal what happened between the two. I added a bit of my brotp. I love Gajeel and Juvia, so there was no way I was leaving her out. Even if she was in only for a bit. I think I will add a chapter or two with Natsu and Lucy's point of view but that will be further along in the story. I don't know how long this story will be yet, I was hoping about ten chapters but I think with the way things are going it will be a lot more than that. Well If you have the time and want to please review. ^^ No pressure.
