Script to Iron [GaLe\GaJevy Fanfiction]

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

I do not own Fairy Tail, sadly. Or do I own GaLe.Who I think is the cutest couple besides NaLu. Or do I own the song that is in this story.

She didn't ask for much. When people looked at her, she usually had her nose in her book. That was her love, her devotion. No one could capture her attention more than words scripted on a page. Her hunger for stories was never satisfied, everytime she finished one she had to to start another. People knew of her love for books. At the guild, no one ever saw her without her faithful companion. A book. She was a script mage afterall, she needed books to help her translate, decipher, and learn new languages.She did everything with a book. Ate with one. Drank with one. Sleep with one.

Because of her small body structure she couldn't carry many with her, so she would always bring a bag filled or stuffed with books. If that wasn't enough she also carry one or two in her arms. Yes no one could divert her attention from books. Many have tried. Determination set in their minds. Levy McGarden had to be more social and her books were keeping her from it.

Well that was what everyone thought. You see just to keep it a secret between you and me. Levy McGarden had one weakness. Gajeel Redfox. To the naked eye it may seem like she was unaffected by this particular man's presence. Oh how ignorant they are of the torment that goes inside this young mage's heart.

Levy and Gajeel have a history together. No they weren't the typical couple, in fact they weren't a couple at all. No Levy was beaten up by Gajeel. Her and her team mates were targets in giving Fairy Tail a message. Which then led to a war with Phantom Lord. The guild that caused her injuries. Gajeel was part of that guild. Not only was he part of that guild, he enjoyed the pain he gave to people. When with Phantom Lord, he knew nothing of nakama only of darkness.

When he came to Fairy Tail, the master accepted him despite of what he did to the guild.Levy though, she took some convincing that he wasn't the same man anymore. She had nightmares because of Gajeel. She tried to appear tough to her guild. That she was strong, but when she saw him there in the guild. Her home. With the guild mark on his shoulder. She almost lost it. He invaded the only place she felt safe.

She cried that night. She wished to the stars for a solution, something to make him go away.

Her life seemed brighter after what he did. He saved her from Laxus's lightening. Her nakama. He didn't fight against him either as he was beaten up by him. She looked at him with horror as he took everything Laxus gave him.

'Fight back!' she wanted to say.

Why. why wasn't he fighting back? She knew it hurt him, but he still didn't do anything. He knew how to fight, how to defend himself. She continued to watch Laxus stomping on him. She didn't hear Jet or Droy. She only focused on him. The more he got hurt, the more defenseless he look. He looked weak like..

'Me...' she whispered to herself.

She looked at him in a new light that day. He was trying to change, him becoming a new member to the guild was probably a clean fresh start for him. He took that beating as punishment, for what he did to the guild. For what he did for her. When no one was looking. She smiled at his genuine honesty he was showing and a tear slid down her cheek. She wiped it away though to make sure no one saw.

She didn't see the look in the dragon slayer's eyes as she walked back to the guild.

For that moment on she believed in Gajeel Redfox. She forgave him and put the sins of his past behind her and looked on to the future. To the future adventures she would have with him in her life.
