Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail

A/N sorry it's a day late, I had some trouble with my phone, well you don't even care considering no one besides my Beta reviewed, but here it is, a new chapter ...

Words that melt iron

Chapter 12

The two women looked at each other with wide stunned eyes "L-Levy, what are you doing here?" The older woman asked "I-I, my friend lives here, I was visiting her. What are you doing here?" Levy asked still looking stunned "I came here to..." she started but couldn't finish because of an angry voice that cut the air booming and strong "What the hell are you doing here! I told you already that I don't want anything to do with you!" Gajeel yelled.

Levy was confused. Why was he like this? And then it hit her "Maya, is Gajeel your son!?" Levy asked looking at the woman before her with wide eyes who nodded her head timidly "What the hell Levy? You two know each other?!" Gajeel asked shocked "Gajeel, son pleas I just want to explain to you that it isn't what it seamed." Gajeel's mother pleaded, tears starting to run down her face "I don't want to hear a thing you want to say! Now get out, I have nothing to say you!" Gajeel said coldly "Gajeel, just listen to her, you have nothing to lose, she did nothing wrong!" Levy yelled at him "You stay the hell out of this! You betrayed me and I don't want to hear anything either of you have to say!" Gajeel yelled at her, taking his jacket and storming out of the apartment.

"Gajeel wait!" Levy yelled after him trying to stop him, but a hand held her back "No please don't, I'm so sorry I gave you trouble, I'l leave now." Maya said wiping her face. "No Maya stay here, and Lucy come out I know you are there, keep Maya company and I'l go find that stubborn idiot." Levy said determent and saw Lucy come out of a corner and nod her head before she ran out after Gajeel.

Gajeel tried to out run his problems, his mother came back again, and how the hell does Levy know his mother, they must have met before. Either his mother made Levy grow closer to him so she could slither her way back in, or Levy lead Gajeel's mother to him, either way he was furious, he ran and ran until he was out of breath. He was in a park where he sat on one of the benches, head in his hands he tried to stop the anger and hurt from resurfacing.

After Levy ran out she was hoping that she will be able to catch up to Gajeel, but there was no such luck, he was nowhere in sight so she just wanders around, hopping to find him.

She walked and looked for him, it seamed he was nowhere to be found, until she got to the park where she spotted him on a bench. He looked hurt angry and... broken

She sat next to him in silence then she was trying to comfort him with a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her, those eyes. Eyes filled with bitterness and hatred all directed toward her then he snapped "What do you want! Leave me alone!" He yelled at her, voice dripping with venom, she was scared of his raw emotion but she didn't back off.

"Gajeel listen to me! You have to go back and listen to what your mother has to say." Levy said sternly "Oh yeah!? Well guess what I don't have to listen to a thing that comes out of that woman's mouth!" He yelled at her making her mad "Would you just stop being a sulking baby and deal with the facts, you don't even know the full story!" She yelled at him and he got up grabbing her shoulders "I don't know the full story, fine, but I don't want to hear it! Now would you mind explaining how you happen to know my mother, and the 'full story'!?" He asked her. He seemed to ave calmed down just a little bit, "I met her one day broken and crying on the street, she told me what happened, but Gajeel I swear that until this morning I had no idea that you are the son she was talking about." Levy said trying to reason with him, it seamed to make him pause.

Gajeel was thinking about the first time she came to his front door, could it be after that she was talking about?

"Gajeel I'm not saying to forgive her, I'm saying to listen to the whole story, her side of it." Levy pleaded with a soft voice as Gajeel let go of her and sat down again, and she next to him.

"I-I don't know Levy, I need a little time."Gajeel said in deap thought, he didn't know if he could listen and believe her after all this time "It's alright Gajeel, we can stay here a while and talk." Levy said taking his hand in hers and looking him in the eyes "I want to help you, just remember I'm on your side, no matter what you choose to do." She told him and let go of his hand.

They stayed like that for a while just enjoing each others company , it was Gajeel who broke the silence and stood up "Let's go" He simply said and Levy got up and nodded. They walked quietly to the apartment, Levy not wanting to push Gajeel and Gajeel thinking over every little detail in his life, and mentally preparing for what was to come, when they got there Gajeel suddenly stopped, Levy thinking that he was nervous put her hand on his shoulder "Hey Gajeel it's going to be ok." she said before Gajeel turned around and hugged her so tight she thougt she would die then he planted a sweet kiss on her cheek, it was simple but held so many emotions "Thank you" he said as they separated and all Levy could do was nod, her head was spinning and she was sure her face was tomato red, they got in, each lost in thought.

As Gajeel got in and saw his mother on the sofa he was overcome with feelings he thought were long buried, so he pushed them down and made himself clear "I will listen to what you have to say, but that doesn't mean I forgive you or forget what you've done, I want to be alone with her so could everyone else leave? "He said almoust in a demanding voice as he staring deap in his mother's eyes not hesitating for a second.

Levy saw Natsu was about to fight him on that so she was happy when Lucy butted in "Sure, take your time, we are going to that diner place." Lucy said knowing Natsu couldn't resist food, so after they left she turned around to leave too, but was stopped by Gajeel's voice "Levy...can you stay?" he asked her and she slowly nodded, coming closer to him "Maybe we should sit in the dining room."Levy suggested and they nodded, all taking a seat in the dining room.

"Gajeel, I know you may never forgive me, but I want you to know the truth why I wasn't there."She said and Gajeel nodded, Levy saw him stiffen so she took his hand holding it, giving it a gentle squeeze as Maya told Gajeel what really happened, she noticed he sometimes squeezed her hand, sometimes his eyes had the glint of tears but were always stopped before they made any real appearance, and by the end of the story he started to shake.

"I understand it doesn't help and it doesn't make up for all of those years, but I just wanted you to know that I love you and you will always be my little boy" Gajeels mother broke in to tears, as she finally let all the pain out "I understand, I know now that it wasn't your fault even tho lying wasn't the right way. It may take some time, maybe even decades, but I think we, maybe we can start again." Gajeel said and his mother had the shiniest smile on her face "I-I , thank you " she said continuing her barreles of tears just this time happy ones. She got up, hugging Levy and thanking her "I should leave you two be , Gajeel thank you" she said making Gajeel grunt "Here is my number, call me if you ever need anything and I will try my best to help you." She took the card and sweeped him up in a hug. Levy walked her to the door where they said their goodbye .

Gajeel was slumped on the sofa, she approached him slowly "How are you feeling ? "she asked him and he gave her a cricked smile "Been better, but ok." he said, and Levy realised it was just them, and only them , no one else she gulped...
