Edit: I'm sorry for the sucky summary T_T
As for now, I'm having this take place some time after our current situation in the manga, so bear with me!
I hope you enjoy!
Levy strolled through the streets of Magnolia, her mind saturated with the recent events. She had just returned from a job with team Shadow Gear. It was simple, she was to read and record writings from some old tablets while the boys stood guard over the artifacts. They even offered extra jewels if she could translate passages from her notes. She was just as enthused about her spent time with Jet and Droy. Seven years was far too much time to lose and it strained the team's relationship more than one would think.
In the beginning, the boys seemed so distant. Not physically of course, they spent plenty of time together in the guild hall, but they were always talking about some story or mission or joke that she wouldn't catch on to. She felt so left out. She would never tell them that though, it wasn't their fault that she'd been sealed away for so long. So she clung to someone familiar, in a manner of speaking.
She was torn from her reverie as someone grabbed her by the back of her collar. A deep voice boomed from behind her. His voice.
"Oi, shrimp. Don't try to walk with your nose stuck in a book."
She glanced above her notes to see a stream of running people were now in front of her.
"Eh-heh, whoops."
"Why the hell you so distracted anyways?"
She trotted quickly beside him, trying to keep up with his long strides as they wound their way through Magnolia. It was becoming a common occurrence for them to cross paths in the city.
"I'm heading to my favorite bookstore, need some books for translation." The small woman grinned and held up a very full notebook.
"You're so strange"
"Oh, I'm strange? I'm not the one who eats metal."
"Gihi"
He'd found himself getting rather used to her smart mouth.
She stopped short, nearly causing the large man to crash into her.
"It's closed?"
"There's a sign. 'Closed until further notice due to familial matters.'" he read from the door.
Levy shrugged her shoulders in defeat.
"Aw. Well, I guess I'm going home to get started then."
"Hm, yeah. See ya 'round."
Gajeel.
Dreams of him once kept her up at night, but now they plagued her with an entirely different feeling of uneasiness.
