-Gajeel's PoV-

We approached the beautiful, clean waterfall, the grass a healthy green and the flowers bloomed. It was so beautiful. I couldn't wait to show Levy.

No one knew about this place, not even Juvia. I knew it would be stupid to think I could save the world. But at least I could preserve this beautiful place.

My salvation. Meet my Angel.

"I'll put you down now." I said as I crouched so she could jump off safely.

I stopped just before we got to the gates of my safe place. I wanted to surprise her.

"Don't peek." I whispered in her ear.

I put my hands over her eyes, my body close to hers. I could tell she was smiling.

Once I got to the waterfall, I removed my hands from her eyes.

She looked around in shock and awe. The flowers were in full bloom.

"Gajeel..." She said breathlessly.

Her smile was killing me, this woman.

"It's beautiful."

I stared at her mouth open wide, her eyes glazed over and those gorgeous, blue curls glistening.

"You're so beautiful." I said very loudly as I just openly stared at her.

She blushed, looking down as soon as we made eye contact.

"Levy I'm sorry about the way I treated you when you first arrived." I said trying to hide the choke.

I couldn't tell her what I was most sorry for. She'd think I was a monster.

I pulled her close and made her face me, my hand touching her chin.

"I-I have this song, I wrote it when I became the man I am today. I wasn't always this way and maybe someday, I will tell you. But it's for you." I said my voice shaking slightly.

She nodded, her beautiful black dress pooled around her legs.

I got my guitar out and cleared my throat, my cheeks warming up.

She looked at me curiously.

I began strumming and the song just came out so easily.

"I thought I saw the devil
This morning
Looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue
With the warning
To help me see myself clearer
I never meant to start a fire
I never meant to make you bleed
I'll be a better man today...

I'll be good, I'll be good
And I'll love the world, like I should
Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good
For all of the time
That I never could

My past has tasted bitter
For years now
So I wield an iron fist
Grace is just weakness
Or so I've been told
I've been cold, I've been merciless
But the blood on my hands scares me to death
Maybe I'm waking up today

I'll be good, I'll be good
And I'll love the world, like I should
I'll be good, I'll be good
I'll be good, I'll be good

For all of the light that I shut out
For all of the innocent things that I doubt
For all of the bruises I've caused and the tears
For all of the things that I've done all these years
And all
Yeah, for all of the sparks that I stomped out
For all of the perfect things that I doubt
