Onto the story !

---------

I'm currently sitting in Gajeel's bed as I wait for him to find his script.

"Found it yet ?", I asked rocking slightly to fight the boredom that I'm starting to feel. He's looking for it for almost 10 minutes now.

"Yeah got it. Let's start."

"Okay.", I happily beamed. I can't keep but be happy and giddy today. Well, it's because of what Wendy said.

"Where do you want to start?", I asked flipping the pages of my script.

"Hmmm. I think it will be better to start from the start."

"Ok !", I cleared my throat and stood up straight.

"You didn't miss a shot Gaston. You're the greatest hunter in the whole world !", I said mustering a male voice that I could.

"I know.", he said smirking proudly.

I quickly run towards the other direction and walks towards him while reading the script to show how Belle walks around a corner.

"No beast alive stands a chance against you !", I said completely taking Lefou's line once again.

We practice his line for a whole hour until he doesn't fully need a script to say his lines.

"Job well done Gajeel ! Oh my that was awesome !!", I said slightly jumping up and down while excitedly praising him.

"Gihi, I know. It's not a big deal. It's too easy."

"Big head. At least you've done a great job.", I said as I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Gihi. Now let's practice your lines.", he said while ruffling my hair. Blush rise to my face and I shook my head to hide my embarrassment. Stupid Gajeel.

"O-okay !"

We started our practice at the town up to the end. He even portrayed beast so I can perfect my scenes with Darren.

"Who are you ?", I asked convening a frightened tone.

"I-I'm sorry to enter your house uninvited.. but this man is my father."

"Then your father is a thief !", he shouts. I flinch at his deep tone for a moment.

"T-that's not true !", I shouted back.

We keep practicing all the lines, from the Beast save Belle in the forest until the scenes that they become much closer. I can't stop my heart from beating so fast as the beast finally opened up to Belle.

I stand beside Gajeel right now. It's time for the Ballroom scene and I can't believe that my heart can beat faster than all other times..

"You are going to learn to dance.", I said as I look in his red orbs. Oh, those eyes, everyone feared it but I always find myself lost in it. It hold so much emotions.

"I .. can't."

"Of course you can." I hold my hands out to him and hesitantly he reaches it and our fingers touch for the first time. As our fingers intertwine, I completely forget that this is all an act. I can't believe I've fallen head over hills for this man. His weird laugh, his pitch black mane, his cocky smirk and smug grin. His red piercing eyes.

We keep practicing as the beast keeps to stumble on Belle's foot on his first and second attempt.

We twirl around his room and I start to sing Beauty and the Beast while he holds me gently.

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast

I leaned forward and lay my head in his shoulder as we keep twirling and swaying. Then he starts to sing.

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

He hold my hand and I turn around and he place both of my hands around his neck then I lay my head on his chest. And I start to sing with him.

Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast.

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast.

I glance at his eyes and we stared at each other.

Beauty and the beast.

He leaned forward and when his lips touch mine, my world completely stop.

....

"Gajeel dinner is ready !!! Come to the dining room already !!!", Wendy shouts through the door.

We jerk away from each other and awkward silence filled the room.

"What taking you so long ?!", Wendy asked as she opened the door.

"Uhm, we just finished the practice. Come on already.", I say as I grab Wendy's hand and drag her out of the room leaving Gajeel.

H-he kissed me !! What the hell is that ?!!!

The bold text here will be flashback.

Gray's POV

I stared at the blank page of my notebook as I keep replaying what the girls in our school who all likes Gajeel said.

They want to get rid of Levy. They are going to hurt her !

"You can't do that!", I say as I step towards the group of girls talking about Levy.

"And who the hell are you ?"

"It's none of your damn business. Listen here, don't you dare touch Levy Mcgarden ! Or else --"

"Or else what ? You're gonna hurt us ? We will hurt her before you could.", she said smirking at me.

"We warned her since first week. That bitchy liar. She even said that she doesn't want to involve in Gajeel's life. And yet we will find that she is close ! Too close in fact ! With Gajeel."

I was shock at their words. They are going to hurt her .. because of her closeness with Gajeel?

"I will never let you do that!"

"Oh please, you don't know what we can do.", she said and turned around walking outside the school.

I run towards them but a lot of guys with motorcycle already sped off with them.

Those bitches ! I will never let them bring harm to Levy.
