Chapter 3

Then

? ﾟﾔﾺ

Natsu and Gray are acting like normal and Lucy gets saved by Natsu when Gray retaliates by throwing the stool back at Natsu. After being saved Lucy stares at his body while she is pressed firmly against him until Levy pulls her away and makes sure she is unharmed. They then leave to go watch the concert from the front of the stage in the V.I.P. Section.

...

"So are you aren't scared of him?"

"No why would I?"

"Oh I dont know... maybe because everything that is said about him is bad. Like hes very cold and mean. He only tends to himself and that he doesn't-"

"Oh no. He isn't like that at all." Levy turns to her friend and stares at her like she has lost her mind. "He is very quiet thats true but I believe its because he doesn't know how to act around a lot of people. He is some what mean, he kept calling me shrimp, and making fun of me being short..." she smiles gently "But I think he was just teasing, just to get my reaction."

"Oh. so you," Lucy slides up against her, "Liiiiikkkeee him." She teases Levy.

"Uh... What...And what about you and Natsu" Levy stutterers and smiles at Lucy.

"What are you talking about? We were just having a conversation."

"Mhm. What about the whole stool incident?" Levy teased her friend.

"He saved me from getting hit." Lucy blushed a deep crimson when she remembered opening her eyes seeing his naked chest.

"Mhm." Levy left it at that as the lights dimmed and a fog machine started up rolling fog over the stage.

...

Now

? ﾟﾔﾺ

A few songs have gone by faster than anything as the girls and the fans around them sang along with them and cheered for them to continue. They played Snow Fairy, Sense of Wonder, The Rock City Boy, and they were finishing one of the newly released songs Boys be Ambitious (All of these are ending songs for the Fairy Tail Anime, BUT I'm pretty sure all of you already knew that. :) )

" I assume the city of tomorrow has bleached and changed this current boy's heart

Do you give up without a fight? Get rid of that lowly attitude!

Even if tomorrow is grief-filled, and you hate someone, if you forget that there is hope,

Step forward, jump over the boundaries of society, with a sense of strength to change tomorrow

Young man, paint a wonderful future."

Natsu was all over the stage, sometimes next to Loke as he played his part on the percussions, sometimes singing into the same microphone that Gajeel was singing into as he played out the beautiful notes on their guitars. But every so often Lucy realized he would glance down toward her and give her the biggest charming smile he could as he was singing then bounce away from where he was standing like he was a hyper dog wanting to go play. He even did a front flip off of the podium behind the band where he landed crouching in front of some girls on the right side of the stage. Lucy watched as the girls squealed and some even fainted. Really he's got them eating out of his hand pretty much. Wow never thought it would be like this. Levy notices her friends stony amazed face and chuckles. Bringing her friend back to the concert Levy doesn't realize that the crowd that was slightly roomy was now crowding around them to the point where Levy and Lucy became separated. Levy turned to tell Lucy that she was going to get a drink at the intermission but found an unfamiliar face and body getting closer and closer till she got brushed to the ground in front of the stage, leaving her recent spot vacant but then the swarm started and she almost became one with the ground until strong arms yanked her up and pressed her against a very taut and muscular torso. Yipping she pressed against the body without realising that there was thousands of eyes upon her.

Levy finally calmed down enough and opened her eyes to see a black covered chest inhaling and exhaling as the person the body belongs to keeps singing,

"Cause when she loves me I'm on top of the world

Cause when she loves me I can live forever

And she loves me I am untouchable"

Levy gasped realising that this was one of her favorite songs. She then looked up into the face that was holding her. It was chiseled like it was casted perfectly from iron, the maker making every detail, the jaw line tight, cheekbones ever so slightly defined, his nose was pointed with a slight upturn with three iron studs on each side, all of these detail were just perfect. The face that she was admiring looked down at her and smiled slightly. She blushed madly being caught up in admiring him. Levy tried pushing away from him but Gajeel's grip was strong wrapped around her back and his hand resting on her hip. He then proceeded to slide her to his side, like he was protecting her from harm, and held her tighter against him.

"She got whatever it is

It blows me away

She's everything I want to say to a woman

but couldn't find the words to say

She got whatever it is

I don't know what to do

Cause everytime I try and tell her how I feel

it comes out "I love you"

"i do"

You got whatever it is

Oh you got whatever it is"

Gajeel throughout the whole concert so far he could only keeps his eyes on his guitar and the bluenette who was singing and dancing in front of the stage next to her friend. He didn't understand why he couldn't get her out of his mind. Seriously, I've met plenty of women and girls while doing this gig and all of them were always wary of me but only wanted me because of this so what is it with this girl. Why does she not fear me, the "Iron Dragon" as the media oh so wonderfully calls me, why does she not go after Loke the 'heart-throb'? The whole time we were talking not once did she shy away from me like she was scared. Maybe we might be able to become- Before he could finish his thought he noticed that he could no longer see her. Stepping close to the edge of the stage he noticed she fell and the girls were about to trample her for the recent vacancy.

Yanking her up on stage he didn't miss one beat of the song, didn't lose his breath or stumble. He placed her close to his body as so to protect her from the crowd that was about to trample her just for that stupid spot. Gajeel kept singing and when the song was almost over he noticed Levy looking up at him, so not to frighten her he smiled gently down at her, but when she went to push away he himself became frightened that she would leave from his sight forever and become hurt in the crowd of fans. He tightened his hold unaware and pulled her towards his side. His only thought- I don't want her to get hurt.

Lucy looked around for Levy and was amazed to see her pressed against the one body she wouldn't admit to liking. As she smiled up at her friend she decided to go to the concession stage to grab something to drink. As she pushed her way through the crowd she tried not to get pushed back into the stage. These girls are just going absolutely crazy for them. Especially Natsu and Loke. Oh my I can't believe these. I knew that they were amazing and I can't believe I was like this. But that was before...Lucy smiled up at the band when she glanced back seeing that they were going into intermission. Once Lucy paid for her drinks she felt her mobile Lacrima vibrate against her leg and noted that Levy messaged her telling her she was backstage. So instead of going to the front of the stage she decided to go back stage.
