The Iron Dragon and The Fairy

Chapter 3 - Gajeel's secret POV: Gajeel Redfox

I wake up and start my normal training routine in the morning. While training, I lost my focus while thinking about a certain somebody.
"Gajeel are you alright? You seem like you're troubled," Lily said with a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah I'm alright... it just that, I think I might have a crush on somebody," I say while looking away from Lily.
"Hm who's the lucky lady?" Lily asks with a smirk painted on his face.
"I think it might be...... Levy..." I say while blushing. We're both silent for a bit but before I could break the silence, Lily smiled at me with joy.
"Don't worry I won't tell anybody, Gajeel," Lily says with shimmering eyes
"Thanks Lily," I say while smiling.
"Who else have you told other than me" Lily asks staring at the forest.
"I told Salamander and that's all. Plus, if he tells Levy I like her, I'll tell Lucy that Natsu likes her," I say with an evil smirk on my face.
After training, Lily and I went back to the guild. I locked eyes with Levy, but before I could greet her she turned away from me like she was trying to hide. I walked to a table and started to argue with Natsu over our strength. When the sun fell over the horizon I followed Levy as she made her way to the exit.
"Yo Shrimp, are you heading home now?" I ask her while trying to keep myself calm. Levy didn't even look at me as she continued out the door.
"Did I do something wrong," I say to myself.
"Is she mad because of our first encounter when I tied her to a tree? I should've known that she wouldn't like me because of what I did to her," I say a little disappointed.
"No matter what, I will get her to like me!" I say with encouraging spirit.
