Chapter 11:

The Dragon's Heat

The Winter Formal was today and I was stumped. I didn't have a dress, I didn't have shoes, heck I didn't even have a date!

Let me elaborate.

Gajeel said that he wasn't going to make it for the Winter Formal since he had some business to attend. It had to do with Sting and Rogue and Phantom Lord.

"Levy! Come here,"

I turned to see Lucy wearing a red dress with a halter neck and a slit going up to her thigh.

"What is it?"

She slapped me lightly. "Stop moping. Start smiling. C'mon, aren't you the least bit excited?"

I walked to the kitchen and pulled out an bottle of Coke. "Kind of... not really."

"Is it cause of Gajeel?"

"Yeah. I wish he could come."

She sighed and sat down on the couch. "It's not like you had a dress or anything. And I gave my spare to Juvia. Evergreen forgot to give you back your dress."

I groaned and collapsed on the couch, placing my head on her thigh.

"This sucks. I feel like the nerd you couldn't get a date."

Lucy laughed. "You are!"

The door opened. The only two people with the keys were the land lady and Natsu.

Lucy went to the door and I peeked from above the couch. Sure enough, Natsu was there, he was tugging at the collar of his white button up. He looked kind of nervous. He had on a black tux and his white dragon scale scarf was wrapped around his neck as usual. He had black slacks and dress shoes.

I wiggled my eyebrows at Lucy when Natsu's jaw dropped. Lucy did look pretty good.

"Bye you two. Be safe. Natsu, wear a condom!"

He laughed. "I promise!"

Lucy scoffed and slapped his arm before opening to door.

"Gajeel? What are you doing here?"

I sat up and spotted Gajeel there. He was decked in all black, save the red button up, the sleeves of his black blazer rolled up.

He walked past Lucy and Natsu, who left in Lucy's car.

He stood behind the couch, his arms crossed. He glanced at what I was wearing.

I looked down. I had on a green shirt with a large pineapple on it and daffy ducks pajama pants.

Gajeel rolled his red eyes and lifted me up like I was some cat before he set me on my feet. He had a back pack on his shoulder which he removed and tossed at me.

"Wear everything that's in there. I got it at some high class looking store."

He ushered me in the bathroom and leaned against it.

"Hurry up. I'm giving you 5 minutes." he grumbled.

I opened the bag and nearly screamed out in joy due to it's contents.

Gajeel's P.O.V.

It took me two minutes to change into this. So why did it take over 10 minutes for Levy to change? My eyes widened. What if she slipped or fell? I shook my head. No. I would've heard it.

"Levy? I'm opening the door,"

She didn't answer so I slowly opened the door.

Levy looked stunning. She had on the strapless blue dress that cinched just under her boobs and flowed down her small slender legs. Her pale skin and the bright blue of the dress made her look like a beautiful statue- everlasting beauty. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and she was wearing a blue head band with fake white Hawaiian flowers on the side.

She blinked and turned around, the click sound made me look down. Sure enough she had on the blue heels with straps wrapping up to her knee, like blue roman sandals.

Levy glared at me. "Really? What I didn't completely have my dress on?"

I chuckled and threw her over my shoulder. "Then I would be greeted with the nakedness of the most beautiful woman I know."

She hit my back repeatedly while I walked to my motorcycle.

"I thought you weren't going to the dance."

"And I thought you were going to be happy that I'm here."

She stopped fighting me when I set her down on the motorcycle. "I'm sorry."

I groaned. "Please don't get all sappy and shit. I did this because you wanted me too." I cupped her face, titled her head up a fractions. Her golden brown eyes met mine. "I love you. And if loving you means I have to lie and get a dress for you just to attend this crappy dance, then I'll be more than happy to do it."

She smiled and I kissed her.

"Right. So off we go to school." she said.

"Whatever."

Cana Alberona's P.O.V. (3rd person)

Cana was the first to notice that something strange was happened to Jet and Droy. Every once in a while they would twitch, whisper among themselves, and then scan the crowd for Levy.

Cana nudged her date, Bacchus, who glanced up from his spike fruit punch.

"What is it?"

She pointed to Jet and Droy and his eyes narrowed, "They look like they're about to piss in their pants. What's so interesting about them?"

Cana grabbed Bacchus's cup and took a sip. "I think they're waiting for Levy to show up."

Bacchus stuck out his tongue. "Is it that bluenette midget?"

"Speak of the devil," Cana tilted her head toward the entrance of the gym, her eyes wide like saucers. Thrown over Gajeel's shoulder was little Levy McGarden, looking as hot as hell.

"Gajeel!" she screamed over the music, though no one heard except for Cana and Bacchus and a few select other nearby.

"SET ME DOWN!"

Cana smiled. Never a dull moment with those two around.

Levy's P.O.V.

White and Blue, our school colors, decorated the gym. One the dance floor was

Natsu and Lucy. Natsu was desperately trying not to step on Lucy's shoes as she taught him how to dance.

Erza was with the same bluenette with a red tattoo above and below his right eye. He was asking Erza to dance.

Cana and Bacchus, if I remember the name right, were over at the fruit punch. Sipping and staring at the crowd.

A few feet ahead I saw Mirajane with Laxus. Laxus looked miffed everytime she went to dance with someone, so he pulled her aside and kept her sitting next to him, She seemed happy.

Elfman was easy to spot, and so was Evergreen, they were both dancing, but doing the dance completely wrong.

Juvia was near the speakers, trying to get Gray to dance. Her eyes widened when started taking off his clothes. Somewhere in the mass of bodies dancing, Lucy yelled out, "Gray put your clothes on!" and as per usualy, Natsu said, "Lucy, don't look!"

Then there was Jet and Droy.

I was happy to see them healthy and happy. It's been a while since I last talked to them since we didn't have the same class and such.

Gajeel didn't look like the type to dance. He just went to go talk to Bixlow and Fried, who came as Lisanna's date.

I turned and walked to Jet and Droy, but when they notice me, they ran off.

I was new. The sheets covering the table that they were at shifted a bit. I glanced around before I crouched down and lifted the table cloth up. Wendy and Carla were underneath. Wendy looked frightened and Carla was trying to calm her down.

"What happened?"

Carla set her paw on Wendy's knee. "She saw pickled plums, and Gray was eating them in front of her."

Almost everyone knew that Wendy's weakness was pickled plums.

I helped her out from underneath and then she froze. I followed her gaze to Romeo, the son of one of the teachers her. I think he was Macao Conbolt's son.

When I looked back at Wendy, it was clear she was totally in love. Carla just smiled, then went off to find Happy.

"Levy?"

I turned around and saw Pantherlily.

"LILY!"

I gripped the black and white Exceed squeezing him into a hug.

"Calm down, Levy, you're choking me!" he breathed out.

I laughed and let him go, "Sorry about that."

He just smiled. "It's alright. I'm glad that you are well. It's been a few days since I've seen you."

Gajeel doesn't like bringing Pantherlily with him to my place anymore because he thinks we talk bad about him behind his back.

"Where's Happy?"

"He's with Carla."

I glanced over my shoulder and saw Happy persistently offering fish to Carla. I sighed. "Poor Happy, he's too stupid to realize that Carla actually likes him a bit."

Pantherlily jerked his head up. "I smell kiwi juice!"

Sure enough, right next to the punch was kiwi juice. I laughed as Lily went over there and started drinking several cups of kiwi juice.

I stood there kind of awkwardly. I noticed Gajeel was dancing with Lucy now and Natsu was taking a break, He spotted me and grinned. "Levy!"

"Hey, Natsu."

"So why aren't you dancing?"

I blushed. "I don't exactly know how to dance."

He chuckled and took my hand. "Let's go!"

My eyes widened when he tugged me to the dance floor, right next to Laxus and Mirajane, who decided to dance as well.

"Natsu! I just told you that I can't dance!"

He just laughed and spun me around, lifting me off the ground a few inches since I was short.

We passed Gajeel and Lucy, and we switched partners suddenly.

Lucy was back to having Natsu as her partner and I had Gajeel.

"Hey there." he said, giving me a smirk.

"Hello,"

"You suck at dancing," he said, wincing when I stepped on his shoe.

"Well I didn't know that you were good at it!" I exclaimed, my heel digging into his foot again.

He growled, his grip on my waist tightening. "Shrimp, this is a slow dance, how the heck can you manage to even hit my foot two-" I stepped on his foot again, this time on purpose. "THREE TIMES!"

I giggled, his angry expression cute.

"I need to tell you something," I whispered.

"What is it?" he look completely serious now, sensing the tone in my voice.

"Lean down."

He did.

"Your fly's open."

He glanced down at his pants then glared at me. "Liar,"

I smiled. "I couldn't help it."

The microphone came on and Mirajane showed up. "Well then. If you now anything about Fairy Tail Academy, you surely know that we arent the normal bunch. We have a show! Starring our famous S-Class students, Laxus Dreyar, Erza Scarlet, and me, Mirajane Strauss. We each will pick two people to come up and perform the show with us. Laxus, you first."

He didn't need to use the mic when he called up his partners, everyone was silent and listened to him. The same went for Erza.

"Right! Here we have our partners. Laxus has chosen Natsu and Lucy, Erza has chosen Gray and Juvia. And I pick..."

Her eyes scanned the crowd and landed on me. A wicked smile appeared on her face. "Gajeel and Levy!"

I felt kind of nervous when Mirajane said that. We met up with her.

"Hello."

I gave her a cautious look. "What are you planning, Mirajane?"

She just titled her head and smiled, "Nothing. Now if I'm right, you are a script mage, yes?"

I nodded.

"And you are a Dragon Slayer."

Gajeel just rolled his eyes.

"Right. So here's what we'll do..."

Laxus, Natsu and Lucy were first up.

Lucy called out a Virgo, who went under ground, making several holes, She would pop out of one, then Natsu and Laxus, making hammers out of fire and lighting, tried to hit her. It was fun to watch.

Erza, Gray, and Juvia were up next.

Juvia and Erza, using her Sea Empress armor, were making a castle out of water, and then Gray was freezing it. The more they made, the more he froze. They ended up with one castle, three koi ponds, and dolphin.

It was time for our part.

I wrote a few incantations that I learned from Fried around Mirajane and Gajeel. Everyone knows one thiing: Fairy Tail Academy loves to see stuff destroyed.

Gajeel didn't wasted time and went straight into Dragon Force. Mirajane picked her most powerful take-over, Satan Soul. I wrote out Mic, and a small mic, resembling the ones in arenas appeared.

"Hello there, Fairy Tail Academy! Here we are about to witness Mirajane Strauss, the She-Devil herself, and our very own S-Class mage, go against Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon!"

The crowd let out a roar as they gathered closer to watch.

"I have put incantations around them so they do not harm anything. You are about to witness a fight that's going to last exactly one minute."

I created a timer using my magic.

"Three, two, one!"

And off they were. Mirajane sprouted wings and Gajeel's skin turned into flexible metal. His hands turned into iron, her tail twitched, and then they were off, clashing like two meteors. It was hard to keep up with them. S-Class were the strongest, no doubt, which was why there was only a few. But a Dragon Slayer is nothing to laugh at. The magic of a Dragon Slayer is ancient and powerful. Natsu and Gajeel have proven that before, and he's proving that now while keeping up with Mirajane's every move.

The battle was a tie. And when they converted back into their original forms, neither of them were able to land a scratch on each other.

"And thus, the battle has ended! I hope you enjoyed the show!"

The mic and the timer vanished and I removed the incantations.

The rest of the dance went smoothly, and I finally got to speak to Jet and Droy.

"Hi, guys!"

They waved. "Hi Levy."

"So how come you were avoiding me?"

"It's not like that," Droy said, "we just have something to tell you."

Jet took a deep breath, and so did Droy. "WE WANT TO MARRY YOU!"

The gym fell silent, they echoes bouncing around.

I heard growling behind me and saw Gajeel, his red eyes narrowed. "What the hell do you think you're doing! Don't propose to other people's girlfriends!"

I paused. "Wait did you just say 'we' want to marry you? So like, you two want to marry me at the same time? Or do you guys individually want to marry me? Besides, why would I marry you guys? I care for you as brothers!"

They seemed lost for words, their lips moving but no sound coming out. Then they ran out. I wanted to go after them, but Gajeel held me back. "Oh no you don't. Just leave them be. I don't think they were in their right mind."

I sighed as Gajeel forced me to sit on his lip. He had fruit punch in his hand. Even if it was spiked, I didn't mind taking a sip. However when I reached for the cup, Gajeel held it away from me.

"Hey, let me have some!"

"No way. Last time you were drunk, it took all of my power to stop from having sex with you, so I'm risking that against. Seeing you in this dress is enough for me.

I blushed. I thought I was used to his constantt teasing, but when he dropped something like that on me, it was hard to say that I wasn't the least bit turned on by it.

He bit my shoulder, giving me nips and licks while glaring at everyone. I wriggled against him. "Gajeel, no, stop it! We're in public."

"I"m sorry it's just hard to control myself."

His arms wrapped my waist, pulling me even closer to him. He kissed me, but there was something different. He was needy, hungry for lust. I pushed away and got up. He didn't saw anything, but his expression was a painful one. Like he was being tortured by someone of something... by me? Gajeel left.

Natsu was by my side. "It's started," he murmured to me. "The Dragon's Heat."

That's it for now, Gajeel is in heat, Levy feels like she isn't ready, Natsu might burst in while they're about to have sex, you know, the works. I'm sorry for not updating sooner. I had some problems regarding my iPad, which I do all of my uploads from. So here's some lemons for the nightmares you may or may not have. Juvia prescribed them. I'll update sooner, I promise.

Toodles,
