Battle of the Bands (~FairyTail/Nalu Fanfic~)

Gajeel and the Metal Heads

I knocked on the door, what? Twice? No answer... I knocked again. To no surprise, still no answer. I leaned my ear against the door, trying to hear any noise. I could hear music being loudly played, but at the same time, being muffled by the door separating me and the unknown room. It sounded like... Heavy Metal? What ever it was, I was about to find out.

Hesitantly, I opened the door. I discovered a big, muscular man with scruffy black hair- it was sticking out everywhere- with piercings all over his face. Honestly, it looked quite painful. He was very intimidating from his size, but seemed quite.. hmm.. I don't want to say handsome.. How about intriguing? Yeah, intriguing. Next to him sat a girl with blue hair just like mine. She looked very interested in her phone. Almost like her eyes were shaped like hearts. I wonder what she was looking at. Anyway, I noticed 2 similar looking girls with silver-like hair sitting next to each other. They seemed to be talking about 2 people who, "seemed like the best couple on campus" is how the one with shorter hair worded it. They looked like sisters. A little farther away, sat a larger man sat next to a women. The woman had brown hair and was holding a beer bottle. The larger man had short, silver hair much like the color of the other 2 females.

As I opened the door, all eyes turned to me. I met everyone's gaze as I inspected them, memorizing each individual from head to toe.

I heard a Humph come from the black haired man. Shortly after he said, "Eh.. Who are you?" I gulped, slightly intimidated and nervous of what to say next. I finally squeaked out, "I-I'm the n-new student h-here. I-I was j-j-just walking around a-and decided t-to stop in.." I almost didn't get it out. But when I did, everyone jumped up to greet me. Except for, the black haired guy.

The bluenette asked, "What's your name? Juvia thinks you're adorable!" I started to feel comfortable and replied, "Thanks! I'm Levy. Nice to meet you all!" The girls squealed and grabbed me by the arms. They dragged me to a wooden bench as I took a seat. 

"Let me introduce you to everyone!" the long silver haired female exclaimed, "This is Gajeel, Lisanna, Juvia, Elfman, Cana, and I'm Mirajane! But, you can call me Mira." she said as she pointed to everyone, loosing her breath towards the end of the list. I smiled at all of them and was about to say something, but when I opened my mouth I was interrupted by a drunk voice, "Yo, who's the new chick? How'd she get here?" Cana slurred her words as she talked. "Oh, don't mind her. She likes to get drunk. A lot." the man known as Elfman clarified.

"So, Shrimp, what kinda instrument do you play?" Gajeel asked me. My face started heating up. His voice was so masculine and handsome, but at the same time taunting and manipulative. "First of all, my name is Levy, and second of all, I play the bass." I stated. I added a bit of confidence to the last part. All he did was pick up a pink sparkly bass out of the case, handed it to me, and said, "Just the player we needed.." then he smirked. That earned him a big genuine smile from me.

With that, I started to play. The beat made me sway side-to-side, as I got lost in the music. Other members picked up their instruments and started to play along. It sounded great and was so fun, As we all finished the song, everyone started clapping. All of a sudden, I was handed a jacket. It was black and on the back it said Gajeel and the Metal Mouths. I looked up and saw Gajeel holding the jacket out to me. "Welcome to the team." he said; his voice was very crisp and clean. I smiled at him and took the jacket.

I wonder how Lucy was doing..
