Hey everyone, Here is Ch.3, I had some difficulty writing this chapter, so sorry if it sucks.
Enjoy, I will get the next chapter posted ASAP
Again, I don't own Fairy Tail
Levy finally arrived in front of Lucy's apartment. She fought to knock on the door before she opened it poking her head inside.
"Lucy?" Levy called but nothing responded.
Levy walked inside the apartment and wondered where she was. 'Juvia said Lucy was home.' Levy walked to the bedroom door and poked her head around the corner.
"UMMM…" Levy said staring at them both. Lucy was frozen with Natsu on top of her, no, it was worse, they both were naked. Lucy was staring at her but she was upside down cause her head was hanging over her bed, her naked breasts hanging to her throat. And Natsu was between her legs and deep within her. None of them could move from the shock of being the ones caught or the one finding them. Levy was the color of a white sheet, her eyes nearly popping out of her head and her throat was now dry from her jaw laying on the floor.
Lucy came to herself first "GET OFF!" She screamed slapping Natsu so hard his jaw would of broken if he was anyone else. Lucy then jumped off her bed and dragged Levy into the bathroom. "Want to take a bath?" Lucy said, giggling nervously.
Once they were in the bathroom Levy was laughing so hard she thought she was going to throw up. Lucy was red in the face but then finally started to giggle herself.
"I guess it's not really funny. I'm so Sorry." Levy started.
Lucy finally stopped laughing. "No it's fine, you didn't know what we were doing and I did kinda give you a key to stop by when ever."
Levy sighed. "Well, how about a bubble bath?" 'They had shared baths together since they became best friends so why not,' Levy thought. She was having a bad yet good day and wanted to talk to Lucy for a change about what has happened.
Lucy nodded and smiled at her. She could tell Levy was having a bad day. "So when did you finally buy that dress?"
Levy blushed, "Gajeel bought it for me last night, my other dress was destroyed from being torn and all the blood."
Lucy smile grew in a huge grin. "So… what else happened," She cooed.
Levy huffed in frustration as she started to add in her and Lucy's favorite strawberry bubble bath. The bath was already full and they both quickly got in.
"Well…" Levy started and then paused. "After you guys ditched us we pretty much walked all the way into town in silence…" Levy continued, recapping all the events that happened the day before. She stopped when she got to the part that Gajeel took the last bit of the towel off her body and she bit her lip.
"No," Lucy gaped, "you didn't."
"NO WE DIDN'T," Levy yelled, tears started to flow from her eyes. "He ran out on me, Lucy." A giant sob ripped from her throat. Levy buried her face into her hands.
Lucy gaped at her, her eyes wide. She couldn't believe it. Gajeel Redfox, the man with the iron soul, chickened out and ran out on her best friend.
Levy started to fight back her sobs and choked. "I haven't seen him since, But he did buy me a new dress," she croaked, "and I did end up talking to Lily this morning." tears were still streaming down her face but she was now blushing. She looked at her now pruney hands.
"And what did he say?" Lucy asked, Lily knew everything about Gajeel, he's the only one the man has really opened up to in his whole life.
"Well, he told me I need to give Gajeel time and that he does like me." Levy said leaving out the part she just couldn't say to her friend. The rest was not her place to say.
Lucy grinned, "Well, if he said that it must be true."
"I suppose…" Levy said quietly.
They then heard a giant crash come from the kitchen.
"Oh so help me." Lucy said angrily. She stood up and grabbed a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Levy laughed at her.
Levy got out of the bath and dried herself off and got dressed. She opened Lucy's medicine cabinet, grabbing her makeup bag and started to lighten up her bruised eye. And when she was satisfied with the way she looked she walked out of the bathroom to find Natsu face first in the floor and two dishes that had broke during the scuffle.
Lucy was not happy at what she had found when she came out and knocked him out in an instant. Levy laughed and said her quick good byes. She would see them later today. For now she had to go to the dorms.
Once Levy had left Natsu raised his head from his pretend slumber. He looked at Lucy sadly. He has known Levy since he got to the guild and seeing her the way she was slightly upset him. He just wanted to walk up to Gajeel and grab him by the ear and drag him to her and make him tell her everything, but knowing they were equally matched there was no chance of that happening.
Lucy sighed, "I don't know what to do with them." She looked to Natsu for help.
"I think I'll go speak with Gajeel."Natsu said.
"I don't think that is a good idea." Lucy argued. "He hates you, you two will just put each other in the hospital again."
"HEY, we don't always fight." Natsu added slightly agitated. "He most likely is training right now anyways and would like to spar." Natsu winked at Lucy. "You should get dressed and head to meet Levy at the dorms. I'm sure she is pretty down."
Lucy sighed as the door closed behind Natsu. She knew it was a bad idea for him to go speak with Gajeel, but he was so intimidating that she was thankful Natsu ruined her plan to go herself. She turned and went into her room and changed, then headed out herself, heading towards the dorms to hang out with Levy and the other girls.
Gajeel was sitting on the ground his hair was tied back in every effort to control his long mane. His chest and back were bare and he was drenched in sweat and he was exhausted from yesterday's events. He thought he was trying to kill himself with his training of the day.
"What do you want?" Gajeel scowled as Natsu came over the hill.
Natsu had a huge stupid smile on his face. He stopped just a few feet from Gajeel. "I came to talk to you." He sat across from Gajeel but far enough away so he can't lunge at him.
"Oh joy, I get to lose brain cells again." Gajeel grimaced.
"Seriously, Gajeel," Natsu looked at him overly serious.
Gajeel just glared at Natsu, he wondered why Natsu himself was there but knew the reason. He knew Levy went to speak with Lucy but didn't think she would to Natsu as well, but then again Lucy and Natsu were never apart anymore.
"Don't worry Levy never said anything directly to me. She talked to Lucy and they neglected to think that I was still in the house and could hear everything. But, seriously man, I've known Levy for years and nothing has made her this upset. So why'd you leave her like that?" Natsu urged. He figured Gajeel would give him something, they were on understanding terms and have been "sort of" friends since the battle against Laxus, even though they do butt heads now and then.
"Have you forgiven me?"
"What?!" Natsu was shocked.
"Have you forgiven me for what I have done… To Levy and Shadow Gear, to the guild… to Lucy," he stabbed out with her name knowing it would strike the nerve that he need it to.
Natsu paused and gaped at Gajeel. He couldn't really understand why he was asking him this but still thought deeply about it. "No, I guess I have not… But why does that fucking matter."
Gajeel glared at him and sighed angrily. "Well, Like you, I have not forgiven myself yet for what I did. I will never forgive myself for what I did to Levy. Yeah I know Levy forgave me and everything but I can't get myself past it. Every time I am with her I only worry about hurting her again and it terrifies me."
Natsu just smiled, "Well if that's the case then you most likely won't hurt her again but protect her more than anyone else will."
Gajeel was staring at his hands. He knew that Natsu was right. "But still I have to tell Levy myself. Until then nothing will happen."
Natsu just smirked. "Well you might want to tell her before something becomes a factor."
Gajeel glared at him again. "I still have a few months before I have to worry about that."
"Well either way it helps a lot if you take care of it before it comes, trust me." Natsu added knowing he was right about it. "Also to make it easier, Lucy and Levy already know pretty much everything about Dragon Slayers you can think. Including our phases."
"That explains a lot." Gajeel said thinking of how Levy has been pressing buttons now and then when they would be training.
"They evened went and told Wendy all they found to prepare her for when she matures so us two don't have a bad 'Influence' on her." Natsu stated with a goofy look of denial.
Gajeel gave out a small laugh. "You think we're good influence?"
"No, but with all said and done I think we can all accept your decision right now, even if it upsets Levy more." Natsu said nodding. "Or you could go for it and if anything bad happens Gramps will just kill you." Silence was what answered Natsu. Natsu looked up and saw the shocked look on Gajeel's face and that he was trembling. "Jesus, what did the old man do to you."
"OH SHUT UP YOU'RE SCARED OF HIM TOO!" Gajeel yelled angrily.
A drop of sweat appeared on Natsu's forehead, knowing Gajeel was right. Natsu stood and was about to walk away knowing their conversation was over.
"Natsu," Gajeel started, Natsu stopped where he was. "Please don't tell her."
"I have no reason to, that is your job and yours alone." Natsu then disappeared back down the hill.
Gajeel felt almost at ease, it bothered him to be reminded that Levy was still upset but talking it out without Lily hounding him in the end seemed to have helped him a little. Gajeel finally got up and went into his house. He quickly showered and got dressed in a pair of black cargo shorts and a plain grey T-shirt. He wanted to sit at home and do nothing today but knew he had to go to the guild hall and get another job.
Levy had made it back to the dorms. She walked inside and saw Wendy and Cana sitting on the couch in the lounge near the fireplace. Wendy jumped up and ran over to Levy.
"Do you want me to heal your remaining bruises?" she asked sweetly.
"No I am fine, Wendy, thank you." Levy answered.
Cana had walked over to the two. "So where were you last night?"
Levy blushed and couldn't answer. She smiled but quickly ran to her room. She knew it was rude but she didn't want to talk about it any further than she had. She felt embarrassed about what had happened the night before even though it set a fire within her.
She made it to her room and started to get ready to go back to the guild hall. Her pack was in her room, obviously retrieved and placed by Erza. She knew that Jet and Droy would want to go out on another job so she got the stuff she needed. She was done packing when there was a knock on her door.
Lucy popped her head inside. "Hey, you are here." She smiled.
Levy smiled at her. "Yeah I had to grab a few things before heading to the guild hall, Jet and Droy probably will want to go out on another job."
"How about we go on a job?" Lucy added. "I mean we have never been on a job together."
"Okay!" Levy beamed. "That actually sounds great."
"Perfect!" Lucy added, "But could we stop at my place on our way out so I can grab my things."
"Sure thing." Levy lifted her bag on her back and followed Lucy out of her room.
They both beamed at each other as they walked to the guild hall. Levy was still wearing her new dress and was enjoying it because it was from Gajeel.
Lucy started to giggle and Levy looked to her and wished she didn't. Lucy had a wicked grin on her face and was staring right at her. Lucy slightly looked behind them, Levy followed her gaze and blushed. Gajeel was walking a couple yards behind them acting like he didn't see them. Levy blush deepened and looked back towards the guild hall. Lucy was still giggling away.
"You better not be planning anything." Levy frowned at her.
Lucy continued giggling with her wicked smile on her face and tapping her fingers together as if she was making an evil plan.
When they entered the guild hall Lucy looked at Levy, "Why don't you go find a job?"
Levy nodded and walked over to the request board. As Lucy ran to the bar and bumped next to Natsu who was finishing one of Mira's flaming drinks. And leaped into a deep conversation.
Levy stood at the board looking all the jobs over. She knew Lucy and her strengths and their weaknesses. She heard the door open again shortly after they arrived and she felt very tense. She could feel Gajeel standing near her, almost feel him breathing. She thought she was going to lose it when yelling brought her back to the present.
"Well why not!?" Romeo yelled at Macao.
The argument made Levy turn to look at them. Macao and Romeo were standing in the middle of the guild hall in a now heated argument. She glanced at Gajeel, he met her gaze and then averted his attention to the argument.
"Cause I said no. I will not put us through that again." Macao attempted to say calmly.
"What is this you two are arguing about?" Makarov interrupted.
"The Grand Magic Games. It is an event that started the year you guys disappeared. We have lost every year but I know this year we can win." Romeo continued.
"I refused to put the guild through it again." Macao repeated.
"That is not your decision anymore." Makarov inputted.
"Yes, 6th Master." Macao poked with a joke.
This angered Makarov since Gildarts had tricked him with the his request of him before he left on a solo journey. His attempt of passing the guild to Gildarts responsibility and retiring had failed him but in the end didn't bother him one bit, he knew he would be bored.
Makarov turned to Romeo "So what do the games entail of?"
"Well they seem to change every year but it is a competition between the guilds to see who has the most power. I know it will bring us to the top again." Romeo beamed. "It begins in 3 months."
Makarov mulled over the information and thought it over. Natsu had stood up with Lucy and were next to Levy and Gajeel at this point, the guild was all silent as Makarov thought.
"Oh did I mention the reward is 30 million jewels if we win." Romeo added.
"WHAT!?" The members that have been missing for 7 years roared.
Makarov's jaw hit the floor in shock. He shook his head. "Well that does it." He was still trying to recover. "Mira, send out notices to all clients, put all requests on hold. Fairy Tail is going to train for the Games." He ordered. "Okay kids you have three months, a week before the games I will choose our team. NOW GET TO IT!" Makarov finished and took off with Macao to get everything together that they needed to enter the games.
The guild went silent, many of the guild members did not appear happy with the Master's decision. The only ones confused were the members that were on Tenrou Island.
"What' so wrong with the games?" Levy voiced up, directing her question to Jet who was at the table next to the request board.
He flinched and looked torn. "We have lost every year, nearly humiliated every time we competed. You guys wouldn't know cause, well you just weren't here."
Levy looked at Lucy. "Well I guess we can't go on a job now."
"Yeah I guess we should start planning to train." Lucy continued.
"Okay, I'm going to go drop off my stuff. Meet at your place in an hour?" Levy asked
"Sure thing." Lucy winked at her and turned away with Natsu to go talk to Erza.
Levy walked out of the guild hall again heading towards Fairy Hills. Her stomach growled, she decided she would drop off her bag, grab something to eat and then head back to Lucy's.
