Author's note: Ok, I did a lot of thinking and decided to make a little "Book" of my future One-shots. This series is going to be between rating K-M and their all Gajevy stories (some will be little stories on the sidelines of Gajeel or Levy and whatnot and sometimes it will be a two-shot.) So, this is a two-shot I've been saving for when I go to the dentist. I have an appointment tomorrow so I figured post this chapter tonight and post the second half after my visit. So, here we go! I Don't own Fairy Tail.
The Book of Untold Stories: A Tale of Gajevy One-shots
The Dentist
Rated T
When eating lunch, Gajeel accidently cracks his tooth resolving in a much needed visit to the dentist. But he's refusing! How will Levy get this stubbon Dragon Slayer to get there?!
Chapter 1: A Nasty Toothache
Today wasn't your average day at Fairy Tail... Well, it was actually; Natsu and Gray were fighting, Mira was serving drinks, Happy and Carla were talking, Juvia was trying to get Gray's attention, yeah, today was normal. Levy was sitting and reading a book while drinking her lemonade. Jet and Droy of course were arguing who loves her more, but today, Levy didn't care; today, Gajeel Redfox, The Iron DragonSlayer (and man she's had a crush on for as long as she can remember) was returning from his mission with Lily today.
"Enjoying your day Levy-chan?" a voice asked, which Levy knew belonged to Lucy.
"Hi Lu-chan." Levy smiled "Yeah I am."
"You waiting for that special someone aren't you? Ohh I wonder who could it be?" Levy blushed at that comment.
"Lu-chan! Stop it!"
"Oh! I can already imagine the Wedding and the children-"
"LU-CHAN!" Lucy continued to tease Levy until a voice broke their conversation.
"Welcome Back Gajeel!" Mira's voice called out "Did your mission go well?"
"Tch, easy as hell." Gajeel smirked confidently "Lily could take them on single handedly and have no problem."
"That's about right." Lily muttered.
"Hey Gajeel!" Levy called out.
"Oi, Shrimp!" Gajeel replied with a smile. Levy then walked over to his usual table and sat with him.
"How was your mission?" Gajeel, smirked and began to tell Levy about how his mission was successful "It was so easy! You should of been there Shrimp! I was taking those guys down like it was nothing!" At that moment, the Iron Dragon Slayer sat down with Levy and began to tell her the tale of what happened during the mission.
"I'm going to head to the bathroom Gajeel." Levy finally said after hearing Gajeel's story "I'll be back soon." she got up from the table and soon left for the bathroom. Mira arrived at the table and gave Gajeel scrap iron, iron ingot and old pots and pans.
"Gihihihi." Gajeel smirked "This day just keeps getting better!" He began to dig into his scrap iron and munched away happily. Then he came to his iron ingot which was pretty much a rare treat for him. He opened his jaw wide, prepare to take a bite. Suddenly, he heard a crack! The normal ear wouldn't of heard that but because of his Dragon Senses, he was capable of hearing that.
"OUCH!" he screamed. The whole Guild looked at him in confusion "What the fuck?" he muttered, he then took another bite "GOD DAMNIT!" Levy just got out of the bathroom and heard his screams. She ran to where he was and witnessed him bite down on the iron ingot again "MOTHER OF GOD THIS IS A WORLD OF PAIN!"
"Gajeel?" Levy asked "Is everything ok?"
"No! It's not! I can't eat this ingot! I keep getting a horrible amount of pain when I bite it!" Levy didn't like the sound of that; it sounded serious.
"Put down the ingot and can you please open your mouth?" Gajeel did what she ordered and opened his mouth widely.
"Solid Script: Flash Light!" the word Flash Light appeared out of thin air and Levy grabbed it and lighted up Gajeel's mouth so she could get a better look "Gajeel, your tooth is cracked!"
"What?!" Gajeel screamed "That's impossible! My teeth are made of no ordinary iron just like my body!"
"Just because your magic turns you into iron," Levy reasoned "doesn't mean you don't have the components of a natural human being." Gajeel began to grumble hearing her say this "Gajeel, when was the last time you've been to the dentist?" he looked at her.
"The fuck's a dentist?"
"A dentist is a doctor who specializes in the care for human teeth. Wait, you've never been to the dentist?!"
"Two reasons: One, I didn't know what one was and two, I can always just go to that old bat in the forest..."
"Porlyusica isn't a dentist." Levy reasoned "She won't be able to help you. All she can do is give you pain killers and that's it. You need to see a dentist soon."
"No way Shrimp." Gajeel rejected "I don't have the money for no dentist."
"You're covered. Fairy Tail covers your medical expenses."
"I'm still not going."
"I'll go with you. I got a checkup tomorrow, you can go with me."
"Still no."
"Ugh, Gajeel I'm being serious!"
"So am I Shrimp, so am I." he then grabbed the iron ingot and was going to bite it again but Levy grabbed it before he could do anything "Hey!"
"Mira!" Levy called out. Soon, the white-haired barmaid walked over to the table.
"Is everything ok?" asked Mira.
"Peachy." Gajeel said sarcastically.
"His tooth is cracked." Levy explained "I don't want him eating the rest of this meal."
"Screw that Shrimp! I'm starving!"
"Fine. Can you at least get him some liquid iron? I don't want him chewing anything until I can convince him to go to the dentist." Mira nodded and took his food to get liquefied.
"So," Gajeel began " you mean to tell me I won't be able to eat a single thing until I go to the dentist?"
"That's right." Levy smiled proudly "And Lily will make sure as well." Gajeel looked at Lily and he gave him a curt nod.
"Fine." Gajeel grumbled "I'll go to the fucking dentist." Mira then arrived and place the liquefied iron in a cup with a bendy straw on the table and Gajeel began to drink his liquefied meal.
The evening arrived and Levy was returning from Porlyusica's hut with a pain killing liquid in toll. She was walking to Gajeel's house and hoped he was ok. She soon arrived at a small cottage house and knocked on the door; it was answered by Lily.
"Hello Levy," the Exceed smiled while in Aera "what brings you here?"
"I came to see Gajeel." Levy smiled "I got him some pain killing medicine and made his appointment."
"That's very nice of you!" Lily smiled "He's in the living room, I caught him trying to eat some solid foods again but I think he learned his lesson this time; he has an ice pack on his cheek and I'm liquefying his food right now."
"Hopefully that will teach him." Levy smiled. She walked into the house and found Gajeel lying on the couch lazily and an ice pack was on his cheek "Hey Gajeel," he looked up and found her walking over to him.
"What's up Shrimp?" he asked her.
"I got you some pain medication from Porlyusica." Gajeel smirked.
"Thanks." Levy took out a metal teaspoon and poured the red liquid onto the teaspoon.
"Open wide." she said which Gajeel immediately did, she slowly took the spoon and put it in his mouth and he began to suck on the teaspoon. Levy couldn't help but blush at this.
"Stuff tastes like shit."
"Not suppose to taste good. By the way, I made you an emergency appointment for tomorrow, they accepted your coverage and you're good to go."
"Okay Shrimp." Gajeel grumbled. Levy looked at him surprised.
"You sure you don't want to go?"
"Nah, I want to see this for myself. I wonder what it looks like." Levy raised an eyebrow to this.
"Ok," she sighed "I'll see you at The Guild tomorrow, we leave at two pm."
" 'Kay, see ya Shrimp." Levy got up from her spot, said goodbye to Lily and left for the night.
"I'm surprised at how well your taking this Gajeel." Lily said after Levy left "I figured you would give her a hard time."
"Yeah..." Gajeel sighed "I'm gonna call in sick tomorrow." Lily looked at him shocked.
"Are you serious?!" Lily questioned "You can't miss that appointment!"
"I don't want to go!" Gajeel defended "I don't know what they do there!"
"Gajeel, this is for your health! You will never eat iron again if you don't go."
"I'll manage."
"Gajeel, managing it is one thing, but this is serious! A cracked tooth could lead to a lot of issues!"
"So?" Gajeel questioned "I'l eat more iron and I'll be fine. I don't know about you Lil, but this pain killer The Shrimp gave me is making me sleepy. I'm going to bed; night Lil." he got up from the couch and left for the bed room.
"Ugh." Lily grunted "Such an idiot."
Levy arrived at The Guild the next day expecting to see Gajeel there. She was surprised when he didn't show up. Figuring he was running late, Levy waited, and waited, and waited. One o'clock soon arrived and Levy was waiting impatiently.
Where is he?! she mentally screamed Don't tell me he's bailing on me! Just then, Lily flew right into The Guild hall and flew right over to Levy.
"Levy," he said sternly.
"Lily, where's Gajeel? He didn't bail on me did he?"
"He was planning to... but that's not the problem; we woke up this morning and..."
"And what?"
"It's not good. You need to see this for yourself." Levy didn't like the sound of this. Lily activated his Aera again and flew Levy back to his and Gajeel's home.
They arrived soon enough and Levy walked into the house. So far, no sign of the Iron Dragon Slayer.
"Gajeel?" she called out "It's me!"
"GO AWAY!" Gajeel's voice screamed. Levy could hear a little bit of... embarrassment?
"Gajeel, what's wrong? Please just tell me!"
"NO! I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE ME!" She walked through the house and soon found Gajeel hiding himself under his blankets.
"Come on Gajeel."
"Go away Shrimp." Levy soon got tired of this and ripped the covers off of him; she was shocked at what she saw. There, sitting in his own misery was Gajeel Refox, both his cheeks were completely swollen.
"Oh my God!" Levy gasped "Gajeel, did you get hurt, do you have the Mumps?"
"No," Lily explained "he said he was in pain when he woke up and when I looked at him, he was like this." Levy took a closer look and Gajeel tried to turn away from her.
"That cracked tooth might of triggered an infection! I think it may have awoken some underlying issues, Gajeel, you need to go to the dentist!"
"No!" Gajeel screamed "I can't go out there!"
"Gajeel, you have to!"
"NO! I CAN HANDLE MYSELF!" Levy let out a frustrated sigh; he was being seriously difficult. Just then, an idea came to Levy's mind.
"Sure." she said in an uncaring tone "You don't have to go to the dentist." Lily looked at Levy in shock, where was she going with this? "But, I wonder what Natsu is going to do when he finds out." Gajeel looked at her.
"What did you say?" he growled.
"You heard me, I wonder what would happen when Natsu sees the Great Black Steel Gajeel's cheeks swelled up to the size of a chipmunk's cheeks? He'll probably laugh and tell everyone in the Guild. Then you'll be the laughing stock of Fairy Tail." Gajeel thought about it and realized she was right, if he went into Fairy Tail like this, then he would be the joke of the entire Guild.
"Fine." Gajeel muttered "I'll go to the fucking dentist."
Two O'clock arrived and the three Fairy Tail Mages sat in the dentist office. Gajeel waiting for his emergency appointment with a wrap around his jaw and two ice packs, Levy waiting for her check up and Lily who was there for moral support, reading a magazine on dentistry.
"Levy McGarden and Gajeel Redfox?" a young blonde hygienist with perky breast asked.
"That's us!" Levy called out and helped Gajeel stand up. The hygienist walked up to Gajeel.
"I'm Kikio." she smiled "You'll be seeing Dr. Shiga today Gajeel." Gajeel grunted and followed Levy, Lily and the hygienist into the room he was assigned.
Levy sat in the dentist chair and waited for her dentist Dr.Kūdō, who eventually walked into the check up room. His brown hair was slicked back and he wore a pair of simple classes.
"Hello Levy," smiled the dentist.
"Hi Doc." Levy smiled.
"Let's give you a check up." He set the chair to recline and turned on the overhead light. He got a a pick and miniature mirror and began to examine Levy's teeth. He poked and prodded at a couple of them, made a few notes and soon turned off the light.
"No cavities . And your teeth are basically a role model for cleaning."
"That's great! Thank you!" suddenly, the sound of something crashing was heard.
"Good God! What was that?!"
"Sounds like it came from the next room." Levy already had a hunch who was responsible; Gajeel.
"Keep that shit away from me!" Gajeel screamed at the doctor. There were two male assistants holding him down including Lily in his Battle Form.
"Sir," began the dentist "I need to take X-rays and look at your teeth."
"Fuck that! I ain't getting near that shit!"
"Gajeel!" Levy called out while running into the room.
"Shrimp! What the hell did you get me into?!"
"Gajeel, please just let them do their work. For me?" Gajeel's eyes softened as well as his face.
"I'll stay with you while he checks you out. But I can't do anything while he takes your X-rays."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Ok, get me set up or whatever you guys do." The doctors put on the lead apron and asked Gajeel to take a bite on the piece of plastic, which he did. The camera rotated around Gajeel as it took a photo of that side before they switched sides to see what's going on the other side.
Dr. Shiga continued to look through Gajeel's mouth and Levy watched as the Dentist shook his head and sighed at some of the stuff going on in Gajeel's mouth. The dentist then walked over to Levy and Lily.
"How is he?" Lily asked.
"I'm glad you got him here." Dr. Shiga explained "That cracked tooth is only the top of this sundae. He not only has a cracked tooth but also has two tooth infections, on opposite sides. Three cavities and he's going to need to have his wisdom teeth removed. Were going to have the hygienist do a cleaning and then prep him for surgery." He then walked over to Gajeel, took another look and sighed "Yeah, we're gonna be here a while. KIKIO! Cancel the rest of my appointments for today! This guy's gonna be my main focus today!" Gajeel's eyes widened when he heard that.
