Ladybug by Breaking Benjamin

Featuring Gajeel and Levi

A/N: Actually, the first time I ever heard this song, I thought of Gajeel and Levi (then Vegeta and Bulma), but I just loved the thought of writing a little scene about it. I hope you love this as much as I do.

"What did you say to me?" I raised both of my studded eyebrows at her comment. Did this girl have that much of a death-wish?

Can't this little bookworm just leave me alone? All I want to do is sit and eat all of the bolts out of this table and get on with my day, just like any other day. I have simple needs and I am not that difficult to please.

Still, she was the one that wasn't making this easy, "I'm the one that you want, bookworm?"

"Why do you always call me that, I am not that big of a bookworm, and I don't like being called any type of worm," Her brown eyes lit up in anger and she crossed her arms in a huff.

"Geeheehee," I scratch my chin, what did she want, "How about Ladybug?" She was already on my mind almost all of the time, why does she need to tempt me with how small and simple and beautiful she is. No, she wasn't going to take over my mind again today.

A blush covered her face and her crossed arms fell, I am taking that as a lot better than bookworm.

"You know, you are pathetic," I lean in closer to her. I was a great praying mantis and she was, like I said, a ladybug. She was so frail and weak and small that she would just crumble if I so much as touched her. Her blushing face instantly turned into a look of pain. Tears swelled in her eyes and she took a step back from me.

No, not that face again. That is the one that always makes me feel horrible for days. That look, that is the only thing that can take me down, it was the insecticide to my praying mantis self. This little ladybug was able to take me down without even saying anything.

She turned away; she was going to run away from me again. It must have been instinct from our time on Tenrou Island, but my arm reached out to grab her arm before she could flee from me.

I'm sure that I look just as surprised as she does. I quickly glance to my hand that was gently holding her arm to her shocked face. How did she claw her way into my subconscious? How could she reach me on so many different levels. I wasn't supposed to be reachable. This little blue-haired girl will be my, the great Iron Dragon Slayer's, undoing.

"Come here," I lightly tugged at her. She is really going to be my undoing. "I've, said it more than once: it is hard looking for someone so small, so don't leave my side."

I had to bite my tongue to prevent myself from gaping at her. Her expression, it was simply beautiful. A smile seemed to slowly take over her features, alongside a blush. Why was I even bothering with her? She was so. . . so, perfect. No wonder her face would dominate my thoughts.

She gave into my pulling and took a step towards me. I really hope that she never flees, flies or runs from me ever again. A sly look crossed her face as she bent her knees, I didn't have time to prepare as she leaped at me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and, I am not exaggerating here, flew into me with enough force to knock me over.

She tucked her head into my neck and quickly shook her head while making a dreadfully gorgeous and excited squeal. I know that I was turning slightly red at her display of affection in the middle of the guild hall.

She has a way of knocking me down a peg to realize that I am part of a guild. She can cut me down to size without saying a word. This girl, she has far too much power over me.

Levi suddenly stopped and stood up. I get to my feet as she is looking around, as red as a tomato. There was that look again, she was going to run. She must have realized where we were.

"Ladybug, don't you fly away from me," I mutter before grabbing a hold of her hand.
