(Gajeel X MuteShort! Reader)

A/N: Requested by @Tigia4  because yeah... lovlie<3 I'm talking rock star reader! ILY!

SCENARIO: You (The reader) are a mute, and a short one at that... You have a huge crush on Gajeel, but being you haven't spoken since your mother's passing, you fear he shares not the same feelings.

_________________________________________________________________________________

GAJEEL'S POV:

     I slowly made my way to the guild hall. As I near the doors, I can hear Natsu's annoying voice, through the solid wood. I cautiously open the doors, but in doing so, a chair is flung past my head, nearly missing by just a few inches.

     "Damn it!" I shout, flinging the doors wide open. I survey they scene before me, before realizing who the hell started it. I stood in the doorway, leaving the door wide open. I duck as a wooden table comes flying my way. It barely missed, and went flying out the door. I go to yell again, until I hear the wood crack and a loud thud.

     Without thinking, I turn around quickly, and notices a girl on the ground, with a table on top of her. It was (Y/N). I slowly walk to her and bend down to help her.

     "You okay, Shrimp?" I ask, as I lift the table up. She scrambles out from under it. She simply nods her head. I hold out a hand for her to use to stand. She looks up at me with her (E/C) orbs. She blushes and quickly looks away, taking my hand. I hoist her to her feet and the evident blush, grows even darker. I chuckle to myself as she begins to quickly dust herself off.

     "Are you going into the Guild Hall?" I ask. She nods. I hold the door open for her and she walks in.

     "Why hello (Y/N)!" Mirajane beams to (Y/N), who just smiles and waves. (Y/N) slowly makes her way through the ruckus, and dodges the flying tables and chairs. She waltz over to the request board.

     "I hate how silent that shrimp is" I grumble to Mira. She sighs and shakes her head, "Its all because of her mother's passing." I quirk an eyebrow to cue Mira to continue. "(Y/N)'s mother was a very kind woman, she'd risk everything for anyone and everyone, especially for her only daughter. one day (Y/N) and her mother went out to pick flowers, when (Y/N) was extremely young. (Y/N) found a very pretty flower that she really wanted, so she went to retrieve it without telling her mom."

     "What does this have to do with her mother dying?" I grumble, at the extremely long story.

     "I'm getting to it," Mira sighs, "When (Y/N) went to pick the flower, it was located on top of cliff, which was hoisted above a raging river. (Y/N)'s mother saw her on the dangerous cliff and rushed to get her, but as she picked (Y/N) up, the ground began to rumble and move. The edge of the cliff began separating from the actual cliff. In an instant, she threw (Y/N) to safety but in return she fell hundreds of feet down into the raging river. And (Y/N) witnessed it all."
    "So the shrimp is traumatized?" I questioned, "tsk."
     "Gajeel, you have to remember, she was very little." Mirajane sighed, as she grabbed a rag to clean out a mug.

(Y/N)'S POV:

After a while Natsu came up to me and tried to chat up a storm.

     "I am sooooo sorry for hitting you with that table... It wasn't meant for you! Honestly!" He quickly apologized. I smile to let him know it's okay.

     "Soooo you're not mad at me?" He reluctantly questioned, scratching the back of his head. I slowly shake my head no, in response.

     "*Phew*" Natsu huffed in relief as he leaned back at the table. I giggled a bit. I don't laugh like most. If I were to describe my giggles and chuckles, they would sound more of a belly chuckle, or a giggle from my throat, however I don't use my mouth to verbally laugh. I haven't truly laughed since my mother had left me, so many years. Honestly I've wanted to talk again, so badly. But when it comes down to it, I just can't seem to make myself talk.

     "(Y/N), this is the only sound I have ever heard you make" Natsu laughs as he roughly pats me on the back. Natsu continued to talk and talk, and I would nod my head in response, so he thought I was listening, but in actuality, I was admiring Gajeel, from across the guildhall. Everything about Gajeel seemed perfect to me, but I could never speak to him and I doubt he'd be interested in a quiet, short girl like me.

     "So (Y/N)," Natsu began. I was quickly brought back to reality when Natsu spoke up like this. He cleared his throat, and he seemed really nervous, which isn't like him. I mean, it's Natsu Dragneel, he's never nervous about anything.

     "I was wondering, ahem, If you'd like to go get dinner with Happy and I, tonight?" He asked. I looked at him, confused as to what to do. I shrugged my shoulders, so Natsu I guess took that as a yes, for he then proceeded to wrap his arm around my torso, pulling me closer to him. I couldn't help but blush, but I don't have the feelings for Natsu like I do Gajeel.

GAJEEL'S POV:

     I was staring at (Y/N), because honestly, she's very cute but she doesn't talk much so I don't know how she feels about me, if she even feels anything for me. But I was watching her from across the room, when I noticed Flamebrain wrap his arm around her and pull her closer to him. Something about that action, just pissed me off, and  just couldn't stand it. So I did the only logical thing at the time, which was fling a chair at Natsu.

(Y/N)'S POV:

     Natsu was busy explaining where we should go eat, and what kind of food he likes and what food Happy enjoys.  And just kept on about food, food, food. Sometimes I begin to wonder if that's all he truly knows how to talk about. As he was explaining how he likes his French fries, a chair comes flying from across the room, and hits Natsu right dab in the middle of his face. I quickly jump up from my seat to check if he's okay. That's when Gajeel came up from behind me and pulls me away from Natsu.

     "That's for touching (Y/N)!" He growls, as he picks up Natsu by the collar of his shirt.

     "(Y/N)'s not yours!" Natsu spat back as he glared into Gajeels eyes.

     "You little punk!" Gajeel growls through clenched teeth, as he raises his fist. I go to grab his arm to get him to stop, but he shakes me off. Natsu quickly spat on Gajeel, who then dropped Natsu. They both get into a fighting stance, and I knew exactly how this was going to end. I kept on trying to get them to stop, but they didn't notice my feeble attempts. I was growing aggravated, and before I knew it, I clenched my eyes shut, hold my head down low, balled my fists up and shouted out loud. "Stop it you two! Stop it! Stop it!" I shout, slowly opening my eyes and lifting my head up. When I did this, the two stopped fighting and everyone else stared at me in disbelief.

     "Gajeel" I whispered, due to the fact I was not used to my voice and I just found it. I whispered thinking if I didn't, it might break. I slowly approached Gajeel and hugged him.

     "Why are you hugging me? And not your new boyfriend?" Gajeel asked, clearly jealous.

     "Natsu isn't my boyfriend," I giggled, "I don't have the same feelings for Natsu like I do you, Gajeel." I felt my cheeks heat up and I knew I was blushing. Before I knew it, Gajeel wrapped me in his warm embrace.

     "I never ever thought you'd say that" He teased, as I burrowed my head into his chest. When the hug finally ended, he let go of me but then began to speak, "So, um, how about dinner tonight?" He asked.

     "It sounds lovely!' I giggle.
