We love Fred the Post.

I finally decided to post this. By liking this post you're giving me various permissions [and they can go both ways].

I can send/spam you with memes/asks whenever.

I can message you at any time regardless of the time about our muses/any ship we have.

I'm allowed to make edits/aesthetics/art for our muses friend/relationship.

Message you for plotting whenever I think of something.

Come up with a billion AUs or situations for our muses to go through together.

All I ask is that we're mutuals [or I follow you & your main/hub blog if you're a sideblog] and that you don't pressure me for responses to asks/memes/threads.

This is for both my main blog [for Gajeel] and my sideblog [for Natsu & Erik].

Levy is in the guild hall late at night. She’s been tense and fidgety all day and just not her normal self at all. She looks towards the entrance of the guild hall often, almost as if she’s afraid someone’s going to burst in at any moment. She really needs to get back to the female dorms where she’ll be safe. But the path there from the guild hall passes through a small stretch of woods in the park and she’s terrified of going through there alone. Normally she’d as Jet, Droy or even Gajeel to walk her home but they’re all out on missions.

Levy spots Laxus at a table alone. The rest of the Thunder Legion had all retired to their respective homes for the evening. She takes a deep breath to steady herself before approaching him.

“Um, Laxus? I wanted to ask if you could do me a big favor and walk with me back to the women’s dorms.” She asks.

It hurts a little, especially over the fresh scar tissue, but once the stamp pops off and her guild mark is back where it belongs, Levy’s whole body sags with relief. She finally feels like herself again.

“ can you walk? “

“ i’m all right. “

“ you’re bleeding. “

“ lean on me. ” “ for support? “ “ yeah, why else? “

“ i’ll get you out of here. ”

“ are you crazy? i’m not leaving you! “

“ if you die on me, then what's the issue? you either live, or you die. “

“ just trust me, yeah? “

“ i don't need your help. “ “ are you sure? cause it sure does look like it. “

“ rich coming from the guy who tried to kill me three days ago. “

“ how bad is it? “ “ it’s bad. “

“ you got shot. there's a bullet in you. i can see it. “ “ i can feel it. “

“ stay with me. don’t close your eyes. “

“ i hate you. oh, i hate you so much right now. “

“ just remove the damn thing. “

“ i’m not a doctor. “

“ it didn't pierce your heart did it? “ “ no, clearly not. “ “that's unfortunate. “

“ you trust me, don't you? “

“ jesus fucking christ, you're annoying. “

“ don't touch me! “ “ how am i supposed to bandage you up if i can't touch you? “

“ don't touch me. “ “ then do it yourself you, egit. “

“ right now, you’re all i have. “

“ you’re going to be okay. we’ll both be. “

“ can you hear me? “

“ i'm scared. “

“ i don't wanna die. “ “ you're not gonna die, you here me? “

“ when have i ever put you in danger? actually, don't answer that. “

“ if i do this, do you promise to stop harassing me? “ “ absolutely not. what kinda sick request is that? “

“ i can’t feel my legs. “

“ can you walk? “ “i’m bleeding. “

“ here, take my gun. “ “ are you crazy? i’ve never used one before! “

“ i can’t get up. you’re gonna have to have to carry me. “

“ come on, i’ll bandage you up. “

“ look, i know we’re not exactly friends, but right now, you're all i got. “

“ you shoot. i distract. “

“ where’s the bullet? hey, i can’t find the bullet! “

“ why are you the one freaking out? i’m the one with a knife in my stomach. “

“ are you squeamish? because it looks like you’re gonna throw up. “

“ you've always impressed me. you're stronger than you look. “

“ you look like shit. “ “ thank you. “

“ here, take my hand. “ “ are you clean? “

“ i'm gonna kill you. “ “ for what, saving your ass? “

“ don't touch me. “ “ okay. shall i leave you here to die, then? “

“ stop it, you're hurting me! “ “ i need to get the knife out. “

“ didn't realize you had it in you. “ “ what? “ “ to care for another person. “

“ trust me, if anybody's going to kill you, it's going to be me. “

“ couldn't just let you die. fair fight and all. “

“ don't remove the knife, or you'll bleed to death. “

“ shut up before i kill you myself. “

“ just wait for me here. “ “ it's not like i can go anywhere. “

“ give me your gun. “ “fuck, no. “

“ why the hell did they stab you? “ “...should i have asked for an explanation? “

“ shut up or i'll give you a real reason to cry. “

“ you owe me. “

“ fuck you, i'm not doing this. “

“ what's wrong with you? you almost got me killed! “

“ yeah, well. perhaps i didn't understand just how much until this very moment. “ “ this is all your fault. “ “ don't act like you're not enjoying yourself. “

“ you're going to kill me, aren't you? “

“ why would you do this? why would you help me? “

“ call it a truce. “

“ why the hell did you stab me? “

“ i don't have anywhere else to go. “

“ i'm glad you're okay. “

“ thank you, for saving my life. “

“ i would have died if it wasn't for you. “

“ you can stay for as long as you need. “

“ we can go back to hating each other tomorrow. “

She’s waking up again when he brings the food back to the room. She’s sitting up and stretching.

"I wasn't sure what to get to I got a bit of stuff I remember ya sayin' ya liked and some stuff I like,"

The food spread was some sweet, some salty, and a bit spicy so there was a bit of everything. He'd even gone as far as to get a certain dessert she'd mentioned not having in a few years so she could enjoy it once more. He picked himself up a dark chocolate lava cake for after food as well. For drinks he picked up some tea and various things to add to it for her to pick what she wanted.

"Yeah, I'm tha Iron Dragon Slayer. It ain't really a fuckin' secret. Tha guy Lucy is yellin' at is one of us too."

Gajeel didn't need a reminder that he had one of the weirdest fucking neighbors. Why Natsu thought it was a good idea to 'test' the fire departments response time at least once a month was beyond him. While they were friends they weren't particularly close. The only thing he'd do is stop Lucy from hurting the younger male too much if he had to. He knew she could be pretty intense when pissed off. He'd seen it a couple times.

"Well, I ain't sure what yer books have said but I've got a feelin' most of tha shit ain't true."

That was really par for the course for anything about the Dragon Slayers. Gajeel was well aware of that fact.

Levy is incredibly excited to live among a group with people who use so many different types of magic. Her previous home there wasn’t many magic users around and certainly none who were proper wizards like everyone at Fairy Tail is. She’s very much looking forwards to learning more about everyone and getting closer to them all.

The fact that Gajeel was even going as far as to use her given name rather than calling her shrimp or shorty would also reflect that he was happy with her agreeing to keep his artistic talent out of the public eye. Until the day he opted to show any himself which wasn't likely to happen any time soon. He preferred to keep his talents private which was also the real reason behind his terrible singing in the guildhall. He knew how to sing, rather well even, just as he knew how to play the guitar as well as at least one other instrument. Not that Levy would be privy to that information. The train ride was going well enough and he was keeping his eyes focused on the landscape he was drawing.

After she fell asleep he'd continue drawing until the train arrived at the station their job was located at. Rather than wake her, he merely grabbed their things after putting everything away and then picked her up. She was so light that he barely felt her in his arms. he'd make his way to the hotel they were staying at for their job and place her onto a bed. Should there be more than one he'd place her onto one of them, should there only be one she'd be placed onto it. He'd likely take the floor or couch no matter how small the damn thing was.

After placing her bag next to the bed he'd place his own things down onto the couch and head out to grab both of them some real food from one of the local restaurants. He'd pay for it out of his own pocket because he honestly didn't give a shit about the price. He knew the sorts of things she enjoyed to eat mostly because they were friends so he'd opt to get a meal for her that she'd actually enjoy.

She’s waking up again when he brings the food back to the room. She’s sitting up and stretching.

Lucy pokes her side making Levy squeak, “you know your magic can handle it. You just want our handsome dragon slayers to help,” she teases Levy.

The apartment complex had their names on their mailboxes so Levy would be able to find his apartment number on that. Or she could ask him either way. He didn't mind helping out if she needed it which was why he'd offered in the first place. At this time of year they were usually waiting for new jobs to get put up. With the seasons changing it gave them more to do. He'd loft a brow at Levy's squeak but say nothing about it. The fact that he was able of talking to women without making a fool of himself was probably surprising to most people who knew him since he didn't make a habit of talking to the opposite sex.

"Well, like I said, I don't mind helpin' even if yer magic can handle it. I won't be doin' anythin' so it ain't like ya would be botherin' me."

The fact that Levy's face turned red wasn't lost on Gajeel but once again he said nothing about it. Lucy had said something rather embarrassing after all. The blonde was incredibly good at eliciting reactions like that from people. She teased people pretty often and all that. Someone would eventually get that kind of reaction from Lucy herself. Turnabout was fair play and all that.

"Pretty sure ya already know my address so all ya gotta do when yer stuff arrives is knock on my door."

Lucy beams, happy to see her friend getting along with the resident loner. She knew if anyone could connect with Gajeel it would be Levy. The smaller girl always seemed to have that effect on people.

Gajeel had more than a few recipes from his family in his cooking arsenal, but the potato salad was something he often made because everyone seemed to like it. He had other things he'd prepare later in the year for other get togethers with those who lived in the apartment complex. They had a few cookouts a year usually when the weather was nicer. So during the summer was a good time. Plus, they had a massive pool that was still covered due to the current winter weather. At least it was starting to warm up.

"Yeah, what he said. I may not be tha most talkative guy around here but I'm pretty good at helpin' carry heavy stuff and set up shelves and stuff."

Gajeel wasn't likely going to be busy for a few days time. He needed to rest up from the job he'd taken. While it wasn't anything hard it had taken a bit of time on account of the traveling he'd done. So if Levy did wind up needing him for some reason she'd be able to find him in his apartment. He knew she knew which was his since Lucy was still on the same floor as him and the other Dragon Slayers.

Lucy pokes her side making Levy squeak, “you know your magic can handle it. You just want our handsome dragon slayers to help,” she teases Levy.

She knows the worry that comes with keeping something like this hidden. Back when she first joined the guild, she’d hidden the fact that she loved to read from anyone for fear of being bullied like she was before she joined. It wasn’t until Laxus had found her hiding under a table in a back room to read that she learned no one in Fairy Tail would ever judge her for what she was passionate about, especially after the blonde had promised to beat up anyone who tried to hurt or tease her for reading in an unnessecary but ultimately very sweet gesture.

Gajeel was glad to know that Levy could be trusted with the information regarding his artistic abilities. Even if he, himself, didn't view them as very good she'd complemented his art. Most of them were black and white sketches very few had any amount of color in them at all. He knew that for the most part people wouldn't judge him for his skills or hobbies but there were still those who didn't like him that much so he was fine hiding it.

"It wouldn't surprise me if Lucy already knows 'bout this, honestly. She's good at readin' people and she likes to bug me a lot."

His tone was fond despite his words. He and Lucy were friends which, he honestly didn't understand. She'd pressed and pressed until he gave in, now she barely leaves him alone anymore. At least on the job he was taking with Levy it was just them and no Lucy spying or trying to do anything weird. When he saw her take a book out to read he'd go back to the drawing he'd been working on before showing her the other sketchbook he was carrying with him.

The rest of the train ride would be in relative silence, aside from the few trolleys with food and drink passing by just outside the little 'cabin' they were seated in. He'd opted for one for both privacy and just in case the medicine Wendy made wore off too quickly. Luckily for him he was feeling just fine the entire ride.

Laxus knew that not everyone understood how some tents went up or came down. He knew Levy was incredibly intelligent but that didn’t mean she’d know how the particular tent that he used worked. He had faith in her regardless but that’s beside the point.

“If you wind up needing help let me know, alright?”

Gajeel mostly did the landscapes as a means to keep himself busy on longer train rides. He didn't need to worry about becoming ill while on board thanks to Wendy's medicine but he did prefer to keep himself busy. He also wrote but that wasn't anything he'd admit to Levy just yet, if at all. He was honestly still worried about how people would react to finding out he and Levy were on a job together.

"I appreciate that. I don't want anyone knowin' 'bout this alright? Not even Lucy. Please."

He added the please mostly due to remembering that it was polite and also so he wouldn't be accused of being demanding. If he opted to tell Lucy about his sketches he'd do so himself. He was pretty good friends with the little blonde after all.
