The Rogue (A Gale fan-fiction) •Fairy Tail•

Chapter 7- His Other Side

*Levy's POV*

I couldn't believe that, Gajeel out of everyone else was the one looking after me. As he carried me to his apartment, I wondered what his slut would think. Of course, it wouldn't take me long to find out.

As Gajeel stepped inside the living room we were met by bright pink hair and a lot of cleavage.

"Welcome home babe" she hissed.

Gajeel sighed in annoyance. "Get out Reina, I'm not asking" He barked.

"So you're ignoring me for that little whore?" She screamed at him, pointing at me.

I may be injured but I would not take that disrespect, my pride wouldn't allow it. I tapped on Gajeel's arm. He looked at me, concern swirling in his eyes. I winked at him and mouthed 'play along' he nodded and turned back to Reina.

"What was that?" I asked Reina.

"You heard whore." She smirked, proud of herself.

I smirked right back at her and turned to face Gajeel. I gently stroked his cheek and he leaned into the palm of my hand naturally. I looked up into his Crimson eyes as they softened. I brought my face up close to his and pressed my lips gently against his. His eyes widened but then he realised what I was doing, closing his eyes he kissed me back gently. I bit his lip, running my hands through his hair. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and kissed me slowly, making me squeak, I tugged at his hair asking for more. My mind went blank and I forgot why we were doing this, I just didn't want it to end.

Reluctantly, Gajeel pulled away his cheeks slightly red, I was blushing uncontrollably and I couldn't meet his eye. Instead I looked back at Reina. She grit her teeth and screamed.

"You fucking bitch!!" She ran towards me and I flung my weight away from Gajeel's arms, letting myself fall. I slowly stood up but because of my injuries, I didn't make it in time. Her fist connected with my face and then her foot to my stomach. I coughed up blood and it hit her in the face. She went to punch me in the stomach to cause more damage to my former injuries but Gajeel stopped her hand.

A deadly look in his eyes. "Get the fuck out."he growled.

Her eyes widened and she scampered out, slamming the door behind her. My knees buckled and I went to fall but Gajeel caught me and brought me close to him.

"Here let me help." He murmured softly carrying me upstairs.

I realised he wasn't taking me to the spare room, but to his bedroom.

"Uh, Gajeel?" I questioned uncertainly.

"My bed is softer than the spare room's, plus it's a double bed so you won't fall out of it" he said gently.

He didn't put me in the bed though, he took me to the bathroom. He sat me down on the toilet seat and began running a bubble bath.

"I'm going to go get you some underwear and comfy clothes, please don't move." He said softly.

I nodded sitting on the toilet seat watching the water run. Why was he being so kind? I didn't know how I could manage having a bath, everything hurt. At least the warmth would soothe my bones. I heard Gajeel enter the bedroom and then the bathroom.

"You alright?" He asked leaning down and touching my face.

"Mhmm" I hummed tiredly as I leaned into his touch. Why was I letting my guard down? I was in too much pain to put up a front right now. This was just for a few weeks then I could leave.

I felt Gajeel's big muscular arms pick me up.

"Is it alright if I undress and wash you? I know it may seem perverted to you but I just want you to feel comfortable and clean before you sleep. You don't seem to have the strength, that's all." He murmured softly.

"Y-yes, thank you." I said hesitantly, I trusted Gajeel. He was just trying to look after me I realised.

He stopped the running water and swished it around holding me on his hip. He sat me back down on the toilet seat and gently pulled off my t-shirt and unhooked my bra. I reflexively covered my chest but, he didn't seem to mind. He pulled off my shoes and socks and then unzipped my jeans. He looked up at me to make sure I was okay with it and I nodded. He gently picked me up and pulled down my jeans and panties.

Gajeel then put me down in the bath. And stood over me. He got a cup and dipped it into the soothingly warm water, pouring it over my blue hair.  After he had soaked my hair he picked up the strawberry shampoo he got for me and put some on his hand. He then massaged it gently and thoroughly into my hair.

I closed my eyes completely relaxed. He poured more water over my hair and washed out the shampoo. Gajeel then leaned me back and supported my neck with his arm, he dipped my head back into the water, using his other hand to run it through my hair, he then repeated the same process with the conditioner.

I blushed as I realised he would have to wash me next. He helped me stand up and supported most of my weight, I tried to cover up everything with my hands, he sighed gently.

"Levy, if you want me to wash you, you're going to have to move your hands" he said softly.

I slowly moved my hands to my sides and then Gajeel grabbed soap and a sponge. He stepped into the bath, he was now standing behind me.

"My chest will support your weight just lean back." He instructed.

I closed my eyes and leaned into his chest. He gently began to scrub the sponge against my skin. After he had finished washing the front of me, he turned me to lean my front on his chest as he silently washed my back, I squeaked as he ran the sponge over my bum. I felt him
Chuckle. He hesitantly put his arm between my legs and washed between my legs. I was blushing furiously but I'm glad Gajeel didn't make a big deal out of it.

He then sat me back down in the bath and asked me to lift my foot and then washed my feet one at a time. After had finished her supported my neck and let me soak in the water for a while. I sat up slowly as Gajeel picked me up and put me back on the toilet seat, wrapping the towel around me, he carried me into the bedroom and tried me off. 

Putting me into my underwear and a big top of his, he pulled the covers back and put me on his bed tucking me and kissing my forehead. He turned around turned the light off and went downstairs as I heard him leave I fell into a deep sleep.
