This is my first FanFiction, I have read many and have started writing my own. I have not read all of them so sorry if this is close comparison to another.

Obviously I do not own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima Does.

Gajeel was sitting at the bar listening to Mirajane and Lily talk about her she-demon take overs.

"Gajeel stop eating that!" she screamed at him as he chomped his fork in half.

Gajeel smirked at her and chomped down the last of it. "Maybe invest in plastic," he joked and they all busted out laughing.

The door slammed open, cutting off their laughter. Jett falling through the opening battered and bruised. "Gajeel..." he croaked.

Gajeel got up from his seat and nearly sprinted to him. Droy and Levy were all out on a job with Jett and they were nowhere in sight. Gajeel's heart dropped, 'Levy…'. "What happened Jett?"

"They took Levy… and Droy is behind me…" tears streamed down his face. Jett was in bad shape and was having difficulty staying conscious.

"Who?!" Gajeel growled.

"Dark Unicorn… We couldn't… They… said it was… payback..." Jett managed and passed out.

Gajeel stood, his body trembled with anger and fear. His mind was running.

Natsu and Grey stood, Lucy and Juvia quickly at their heels.

"We got your back, bro." Natsu said when he was next to Gajeel.

Gajeel looked back at them, gritting his teeth. "Keep up." he snarled.

The five of them sprinted out of guild hall. Wendy and Lisanna ran to Jett. Lily started to fly out the doors, "I'll find Droy."

Gajeel ran as fast as he could, not caring if the others were still behind him. His feet knew where he was going. Just outside of Magnolia was Dark Unicorn's guild hall. He knew exactly where it was and the reason they took Levy, the one time he decided to not go with the three on a job. Since the S-class trials he had kept close to the three since Droy had gained so much weight. Gajeel even took it upon himself to start training all them with Lily's help.

His heart was pounding so hard from his fear for Levy he couldn't hear lucy yelling at him. Lucy was Levy's best friend but he could of cared less at this point if she was worried.

He saw the roof of the guild hall appear on the horizon and he started to run faster. His breath finally starting to get ragged.

"Iron Dragon Club!" he roared as he hit the doors smashing them out of their frame.

Natsu flew by him with a wing attack with Gray and Juvia close behind.

"Go get Levy, we can hand this," Lucy said grabbing for her keys.

Gajeel ran to the stairs following his nose. He could smell her and the anger in his body grew from the smell of her fear.

He kicked the door open, splintering it.

"GAJEEL!" Levy screamed her eyes wide in her terror, tears running down her face. She wanted to run to him but she was restrained to a chair.

Gajeel bared his teeth when he saw her. He thought he was going to break his steel like teeth from gritting them in his snarl. He clenched his fists, digging his steel sharp talons into his palm.

Levy was tied to a chair. She had a black eye and her lip was split, blood was still streaming down her chin. And fear was all he could smell on her.

There was a tall man next to her grinning at him. He put a knife to her throat. She gasped with the shock of the cold steel kissing her skin. "Don't move or she'll have it" the man grunted.

Gajeel shook, blood dripping from his knuckles. "I dare ya," Gajeel stated enraged.

"Now that I have your…. *clang* " the man's voice cut off with the end of a club in his face. The man fell back and his head was smashed into the back wall and seemed to not stop.

Levy hadn't taken her eyes off Gajeel and once he moved she scrambled. She forgot that she was tied to the chair and she started to fall from lunging so hard forward trying to get to him. He was quick enough that he caught her before she hit the ground. Tears running down her cheeks as she fought back the sobs.

Gajeel couldn't untie her fast enough. The ropes barely hit the ground and she lunged into his chest. She threw her arms around his neck and buried her face into the crook of his neck. A sob shook her body.

He held her tight pushing his face into her hair. His hands still tight fists holding her to him. "I'm right here" he whispered to her.

She pulled from him. Looking up into his face. He finally unclenched his fist and cupped her face, wiping her tears away with his thumb. His blood was still streaming from his palm and down his wrist and her neck.

She looked at him shocked from the hot liquid now streaming down her neck. She grabbed his hand and looked at it. Four small holes were deep in his palm. She grabbed his other arm bringing his hands together. He released his other fist and she puffed her cheeks in anger at the sight.

"I'm fine," he whispered in his familiar husky voice that made her cheeks flush. She looked back at his palms and she pressed her lips to them.

"Levy…" he groaned. He just realized how close he was to her. Her in his lap, and so close to him. He flexed his hand, "We better go" he said lowly, regretting his own words, "the others are downstairs."

Levy nodded, wiping the rest of her tears away as Gajeel wiped the blood from her chin and cheek, but making it look worse with his own blood.

Gajeel puts an arm under her underthigh and the other around her back, Levy jumped with the shock. As he stood he took Levy with him, she looked at him still shocked. Gajeel gave her a toothy grin, she blushed, now being able to look into his eyes without trouble. She slowly put her arms around his neck and her ear to his shoulder.

Gajeel took them back out to the hall and towards the stairs. Then she saw Gray, Juvia, Natsu and Lucy. Levy thought she was going to die when she mentally thought on how they looked.

Gray and Natsu smirked and turned to walk towards the door. Juvia giggled and followed them. Lucy smiled at her. "We'll talk later," Levy nodded and Lucy ran out the door after the others.

"I'm going to die!" Levy whined.

Gajeel looked at her, not sure on why she would think that. He knew what she meant by it though, her and Lucy were best friends and Lucy rarely let her leave anything out of their talks. But he also knew he wouldn't do a thing to her, he couldn't. His chest ached as he thought about it.

They walked outside Levy expected to see the others but they were gone. Gajeel and her were alone. She felt her face set fire. Gajeel continued to walk acting like nothing was going on with levy.

Levy mind was racing with tormenting pictures. Her face and now body were burning. She squirmed and Gajeel froze and set Levy down. She gave him a pained look but he would not look at her. His lands lingering on her hips. "You okay to walk?"

"Most people would ask that before setting someone down." She answered pained but nodded anyways and turned away to continue to walk towards town.

It was like a slapped to the face for Gajeel. 'Idiot' he said to himself as he followed her.

Levy was walking with her arms across her chest, hugging herself. It seemed like forever since either of them said a word. She left like she was alone now, tears started to come back to her eyes. She stole a glance over her shoulder and froze. The look that he was giving her would stick with her forever. He was staring at her like he wanted to devour her.

Gajeel froze when he saw her. 'Shit,' his eyes widen. He knew exactly what look he was giving her. He swallowed, more concerned on if he just scared her.

Levy gave him a small smile as her whole face turned red. She started walking to him. He felt his whole body go tense. She reached him and put her arms around him. She buried her face into his muscular chest, she barely made it to that point.

Gajeel sighed and relaxed, wrapping his arms around her and resting his face in her hair. "Shrimp..." he smirked.

It enraged Levy, she hated but loved that he made fun of her height. But today it lit a fire in her. She pinched his ribs as hard as she could even though it would not hurt him.

Gajeel jumped and just smiled. "Let's get back to town."

Levy lifter head and smiled up at him, "Okay."

They reached the top of the hill just on the edge of town.

"We should get you back to the guild." Gajeel said sounding slightly in pain. He knew that once they got to the guild hall he wouldn't be alone with her anymore.

"No." She sighed. She looked up at him. "Everyone will be asking me what happened and I don't want to deal with it right now."

Gajeel blinked at her in confusion. "Then where should we go?"

Levy bit her lip. It drove him insane cause he wanted to do it himself so badly. "Why not your place. At least it will be quiet there." Her boldness shocked even her.

Gajeel gaped at her. He could have never asked her to do so but the fact she's asking him. "What about Jett and Droy, they were pretty bad when they got to the guild." he said low fighting to let himself say it. It enraged him the fact she hung out with those two but knew that they were her friends longer than he could guess and that she cared about them.

"I'm sure Wendy and Mirajane have taken care of them. I don't think I could face them now anyways."

Gajeel nodded. Without another word they turned and started walking towards Gajeel's home. It was lucky that it was near by cause Levy was getting tired. Gajeel crossed his arms over his chest and they walked side by side over the hill.

They walked into the door and Gajeel just realized how tense he was. 'This was a bad idea.'

"Can I take a bath?" Levy asked looking up at him.

Gajeel's heart jumped in his throat. He pointed to a door across the room on the other side of the fireplace. She turned and walked to it. Closing the door behind her. Gajeel finally felt like he was able to breath. He walked quickly to his bedroom when he heard the lock of the bathroom drive home.

Levy sunk to the floor against the door. She was trembling and out of breath. She just wanted to touch him so bad it was driving her nuts. She finally stood after a long while. She walked to the tub, it was huge, a porcelain tub lines with grey brick making it square and the brick went up the surrounding walls to make a shower. She turned on the faucet making it overly hot. As the water ran she looked around the bathroom. The brick actually covered all the walls, going in around the sink, making a counter, and across from that was the toilet. Levy saw there was clean towels hanging on a black steel bar between the tub and the sink. She suddenly felt really small in the huge bathroom but guessed it was perfect for Gajeel cause he was so tall and his chest was so wide with his tight muscles. She blushed deeply remembering seeing them fully during the S-Class trials. Her face turned hotter as her body remembered the feel on her fingers when she bandaged him up. Tears welled in her eyes also remembering she was unable to protect him then. And she was still helpless after months of training on her own and with Gajeel.

She wiped her tears away noticing the tub was full of water. She turned the faucet off and finally started to get undressed. She noticed there was blood on her dress. From her and Gajeel. 'I can't even protect myself' she balled her fist in the fabric. She sighed and finished undressing. She walked to the tub and sat down on the side. She blushed as the coldness from the brick touched her naked bottom. She turned and eased her feet in the scalding water with a sigh. 'I wish Gajeel was with me right now.' her blush deepened again think that he was still in the same house.

Gajeel was going insane in his own mind. He could smell her and hear everything she was doing in the bathroom even though she was just sitting in the full tub. It was all driving him up the wall. He gritted his teeth, he had just quickly tidied up his room. He had a feeling she wasn't going to want to go back to the dorm tonight so he had it planned in his head that she could sleep in his room and he would take his tiny couch. He walked out of his room and looked to the bathroom. He sighed in frustration, he wanted her so bad but he didn't want to scare her off again, she finally seemed to want to be near him and he was okay with just that even though it was not enough for him. It took all of his strength to turn away and walk outside. He need to clear his head before he broke down the door.

Levy thought she was going to fall asleep, she was sitting so deep in the water it just came to just under her nose. The ache slowly melting from her sore body. She had found a collection of bruises all over her petite body. The worse one over her eye. She sighed again looking up, dipping her blue hair in the water, wondering how long it had been since she sat in the tub, it was no longer steaming. She cupped water in her hands and washed her face, stinging the cut on her lip. It was small but still had enraged Gajeel. She smiled to herself, he was so protective of her. She stood up, pulling the drain on the tub. She turned, stepping over the side. She got flustered she could barely step over the side cause she was so short. Finally out after her struggle. She grabbed one of the towels on the rod, her eyes widened as she gasped. It was HUGE! The towel she wrapped herself in she had under her arms stretched down to her mid calf. 'how and why' she wanted to know why he had so big of towels. But then she noticed how soft they were she nearly fell apart. She sighed. Smiling to herself again she walked to the door and went to swing it open.

Gajeel had hear the tub draining and her gasp. He moved his head out of his bandaged palms. His mind ran with the sound and wondered why she did. He stood, guessing he should head back inside so she wouldn't think he left her there. As he walked inside he heard the door open. He looked at her and groaned his eyes widening. She stood there in the doorway, wrapped in one of his favorite towel and of course she was naked underneath.

Levy looked at him, he had changed into a black sleeveless shirt and black shorts. Her face turned red when she saw his shocked look and realizing how she looked. She was naked with only a towel on, her hair wet over her shoulders. Her insides tightening as she kept looking at him.

Gajeel was very tense, he thought he was going to break from the sight of her. He didn't know what he was going to do with himself, he wanted her so bad and here she was, in his house, naked, and he could smell her arousal. 'I'm going to hell' he thought to himself.

Gajeel took a step towards Levy. She turned so she was facing him full. Her arm over her chest, her hand in a fist over her mouth, as she bit her lip again. Gajeel took her hand in his, his eyes soft.

Levy felt a pull in her belly from his look. She sighed and he tensed.

"Levy…" Gajeel groaned.

She smiled at him knowing what was wrong. "I'm not afraid." She croaked. Her mouth was dry.

Gajeel gritted his teeth. She knew he was most concerned about how she felt.

"I want this," she continued, "I forgave you the day you stopped Laxus. If you weren't there I would probably be dead." his hand tightened on hers and she looked to the floor. "I might be talking to much, I am nervous, but don't take that as me being afraid cause I…" Her words were off and her eyes went wide, his hand was on her chin and his lips were on hers. His eyes were closed as he inhaled her in. Levy sighed and relaxed, letting her own eyes close.

Levy reached her free hand up and to the back of his neck, moving her fingers into his raven hair at the base of his skull. Her nails helping her run higher along his scalp, knotting her hand into his hair.

Gajeel released her other hand and put his arm around her pulling her closer to him. Her freed hand went to his shoulder and she dug her nails into him with want. He pulled away slightly and she bit his bottom lip. Gajeel jumped at her action and groaned as she massaged it with her teeth. He tightened his grip on her and removed his hand from her chin.

Levy could feel him harden against her belly from her action. She held his lip longer not letting him go. She moved her hand from his shoulder to the side of his head. Twining her hand into his hair she tightened her hold on him. He growled at her and she jumped releasing his lip.

Gajeel gasped for air with his found freedom, he didn't notice he was holding his breath. He looked down at her and gave her a wicked smile. He bent down grabbing her legs and lifted her up.

Levy squealed at the sudden motion upwards. Chuckles rocked out of Gajeel's chest. He wrapped her legs around his waist. She looked into his face and he was blushing. She gaped at him, never thinking he could look like that. She smiled softly and leaned forward kissing him.
