Fairy Princess | Fairy Tail (TEMP HIATUS)

40 - Thank You

It's been about three or four months since I've joined Sabertooth, and all this time, I don't know how I keep ending up in these types of situations. For some odd reason, I am currently on my way back to the guild with Orga following behind me since we've just finished a job together, and I don't even know why I was going on a job with him; maybe it's because Sting left on a different job with Rogue earlier, and I was forcibly dragged to accompany this guy since Rufus was also out and so were the other girls? Either way, I've exerted enough energy to leave me drained for the rest of the week.

"Did you see my amazing new spell, Princess?!" Orga asked excitedly.

"No."

"Oh, come on~ You should've seen it! Maybe you could've learned a thing or two!" he whined, making me roll my eyes. As much as I may seem to be complaining about this situation, I've (unfortunately) grown used to his presence by now, and I'm not sure if I'm exactly thrilled by this fact or not.

"You're extra quiet today?" he questioned.

"I'm always like this," I sighed.

"Tired?" I nodded in response and a random yawn added to my silent answer. "Want me to carry y-"

"No." I glared at him tiredly, but it was enough to get my point across.

"Geez, you're scary~ This is why you have no friends," Orga chuckled, making me sigh once more.

"... Well, sorry, I have an unlikeable personality," I mumbled.

"Did I hit a nerve?"

"... Maybe," I sighed again and tried to distract myself from my fatigue by glancing at the various stores we passed by, "... Why is it so hard to get to know people?"

"What's this? All of a sudden?" Orga raised an eyebrow at my random question. Oh, I accidentally said that out loud. Good job, Levina...

"... You know, growing up it was pretty hard for me to talk to people, and, honestly, I don't even know why. They were all my guild members whom I've grown up with all my life, and of course, they were all outgoing and friendly, but I could never talk to them properly. Although it's not like I was disliked in the guild or anything like that, I-... I never actually got along well with the others and was never close to many people. Like, aside from the Thunder Legion, who are close friends with my brother, and a couple others, I wasn't close to any of my guild mates at all. Everyone else got along with each other so well, and even the newcomers immediately made friends, yet I, who've been in the guild since I was born, couldn't get close to anyone," I told him. Honestly, I don't even know why I'm telling all of this to Orga of all people, but it just all suddenly came out, and I never realized how sad my life was until I said it out in words.

"Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're jealous of the others' social skills and close relationships," he said.

"I... I guess I am. Seeing how close everyone else is, it made me wonder why I couldn't be the same. Why am I so antisocial? Why can't I just talk to people normally? I'm usually surrounded by good people, yet it feels so lonely sometimes... Stupid, right?" I laughed at myself quietly.

"I don't think so. I think you're fine the way you are though. And I think you're making friends just fine at Sabertooth," he pointed out.

"You call that making friends?"

"Is it not?" he returned the question, "From what I see, the other Saber members seem to like you. I mean, you're unexpressive and have a foul mouth, so it makes you a bit unapproachable, but otherwise, I think you're doing fine."
