The Reason

Snow and Glow

OMG I AM SO SORRY Y'ALL, MY FREAKIN KINDLE KEEPS REPLACIN GAJEEL WITH GABRIEL AND NATSU WITH NASTY........ I SORRY PEOPLES. NOW THEN, FORWARD MARCH TO STORY.

Gajeel's P.O.V.

I woke up to the crisp air of dawn. I went out onto the balcony, looking over my land. A fresh layer of snow had covered everything, even the rose garden that had been left by my late mother. This is perfect, I wonder if shrimp is up.... Gihi >:)

Levy's P.O.V.

I felt a sudden chill crawl over me while I lay under my silky covers. I leaned up to investigate somewhat and discovered that the door to my balcony had been opened, which was strange because I distinctly remembered closing them the night before. I got up and felt an immense freezing pain spring up from my feet. MY BEDROOM FLOOR WAS COVERED IN FREAKING SNOW! 

"Gihi"

That laugh explains EVERYTHING.

"GAJEEL YOU ARE SO FREAKING DEAD!!!"

  I ran out to the balcony and watched as Gajeel leaped off the side. I ran over to the side and hoped that he was going to be ok. He landed in the powdery snow and looked up at me, saluted, winked and ran off. I went back inside and put on a royal blue winter coat, grey leggings and knee high boots. As soon as I stepped out of the main door I felt the impact of a snowball.

"Oh it is so on right now metalbrain."

"Bet you can't get a single shot on me fairy shrimp."

"Is that a bet?"

"Yea, it is. If I win, you tell me ALL there is to know about you."

"And if I win?"

"If you win, and that's a big IF, I'll tell you all there is to know about me AND I'll sing a song during our late dinner tonight."

"Deal. I'm not gonna hold back, just so you know metalbrain. Ready, Set, SOLID SCRIPT: BLIZZARD!!!"

"Oh DEAR JE-"

Gajeel was lost under a MASSIVE mound of snow, only the tips of his fingers and boots could be seen.

"I win, how about we raise the stakes and play the best three out of four?"

Gajeel's P.O.V.

Shrimp sent a full on mini blizzard straight at me.

"OH DEAR JE-"

These were the only words I could say before I was devoured by the tremendous amount of snow.

"I win, how about we raise the stakes and play the best three out of four?"

I could hear the smug little grin she had on her face as she proudly said those words. I tried to say something back, but it only came out as an incoherent mumble. So, I decided to take this precious chance and give the shrimp a taste of her own medicine.

I burst through the snow and pelted her with snowballs.

"VENGEANCE SHALL BE MINE SHRIMP!!!"

She squeaked and raced behind one of the many tall elm trees. I snuck around the tree she had chosen as a sanctuary and dumped a full bucket of snow on her head.

Levy's P.O.V.

I was looking around the yard for Gajeel when I felt a sudden cold rush on the top of my head. I turned around and pelted Gajeel with the snowballs I had made. So far we were tied and it looked like neither of us were going to outdo the other.

After a series of surprise and planned attacks we fell next to one another exhausted. The game had been tied, I got the last blow. We were drenched and cold, so we went inside to warm up and drink hot coco.

"Tell me about yourself shrimp."

"Only if you tell me about yourself first."

I was plannin' on telling you anyway, so since I asked first, you gotta speak up."

"Fine.

"When I was little, my mum and dad were traveling gypsies. Mum was a beautiful bluenette with sharp green eyes, and tall, taller than my dad. Dad had chocolate hazel eyes, and a grin so big it was contagious. Anyone could tell that they were deeply in love. They went everywhere, all across the continent with their group. Mum found out she was pregnant with me while she was doing her usual script performance, create fire and iron from nothing, some people thought it was the best thing they had seen since sliced bread. I was five when we came to this little town. We were setting up for our usual performances when the villagers attacked us. Dad hid me close to the river and told to stay. I remember hearing screams, awful, gut wrenching screams. When the villagers found me, they recognized me as the little gypsy girl and beat me. Makarov found me and saved me..... He's been like a grandfather to me...."

Gajeel looked shell shocked. His face contorted into looks of regret and sorrow. He got up and pulled me into a giant, warm bear hug.

"I'm sorry shrimp, I'm so sorry....."

I looked up a at him, tears in my eyes from the painful memory. I stood up on my utilities and kissed his cheek.

" Please don't be sorry Gajeel, it's all in the past. I'm ok now, sort of, so don't feel bad for asking about it, I would've told you eventually anyway. I feel like I can trust you."

He looked surprised, dumbfounded even.

"Alright shrimp."

GAJEEL'S P.O.V.

I still felt bad for making the shrimp cry. Christmas was coming up, and I had an awesome idea as a present for the shrimp. Gihi. As we were walking back to the castle, I couldn't help but notice how Levy glowed like an angel in the snow.
