Acnologia, my Childhood Friend

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

In the matter of less than an hour after I'd uploaded it, I already had the first person to follow AND favorite my story! Let's all give a round of applause for porche1995! And then another round to all of you other followers, favoriters and reviewers! It makes me immensely happy! :')

Oh yeah, I've decided to upload twice a week, Tuesday and Saturday here in the start to get the story going, then later I'll go down to once a week, I think.

Except in celebration of me getting an A in a Physics/Chemistry exam, I'll post a new chapter tomorrow! I apologize for any grammar errors that I have made. Read & Review!

Gajeel's P.O.V

My beam of iron hit the Salamander square in the face and he stumbled back, landing on his butt. "Iron Dragon's Roar!" I yelled and came up, standing in front of Bunny-Girl with Lily flying above my head, towering over the Salamander. Like hell I'd let that moron hurt her more than he already had! I as well as Juvia, Lily, Wendy, and Carla knew about Bunny-Girl's situation very well, and the six of us had grown quite close the last three weeks. I felt the rage towards the Salamander course throughout my entire body, no idea why I got that mad, as I took a threatening step toward him. "Oi, Flame-Brain! Who the hell do you think you are?! You are no friggin' God, you can't just walk around trashing people! I overestimated you as well as the rest of your pathetic team, Bunny-Girl is obviously too good for your team, you aren't worthy of her!" I said, still not over the habit of calling her 'Bunny-Girl', and looked menacingly at the three members of Team Natsu.

"What're you saying, Metal-Face?! You agree with me and you know it, but if it's a fight you want - I'm all fired up!" Natsu said his stupid catchphrase, as he got up from the floor, scratches decorating his face and upper-chest. He had already put his fists on fire.

However, I didn't pay any attention to him; I was looking at Bunny-Girl worried, for the first time of my life.

"Bunny-Girl, don't listen to him, he's a dense dimwit and it'll never change." I said, the surrounding people except Carla and Wendy looked at me as if they didn't know me. Natsu didn't even respond to the fact that I had openly called him a dimwit. "Come let's get you home." I said softly and offered Bunny-Girl a hand. The whole guild was watching the scene in a state of shock. Me, Gajeel Redfox, being worried about someone, and acting nice. Bunny-Girl looked at me with a blank and emotionless face and I instantly knew that she was feeling so horrible, that she had to put up the emotionless facade, to not break down completely, and it made something turn inside me. I frowned.

Why did Bunny-Girl, the usually bright and cheery, happy-go-lucky girl, the bright light in the guild, have to be hurt so bad? Why was it not me? I deserved it more than she did after all the things I'd done. But nothing happened to me, I was not the one targeted.

Over the three weeks of being closer to Bunny-Girl, I'd taken quite a liking to her, more so than even the Shrimp, and I didn't know what to make of it. I'd opened up to Bunny-Girl more than I'd ever done to anyone, maybe with the exception of Metallicana, my dad, but I was only a child then. Bunny-Girl had listened to whatever I'd said, and accepted it, even though I'd murdered more people than I could count.
She'd explained to me how her childhood had been, and what the whole Phantom Lord incident was about, I'd never really understood it to be honest, I was just happy that I got to fight at the time, and it all made me feel worse. But she cheered me up, telling me that it was in the past. Now I would go far, further than I ever would before, to help her in any way possible.
