Literal, Beauty and the Beast (GaLe)

Fe Fi Fo Fum!!!

A muffled giggle fills the wooden dollhouse as Levy then starts running up a spiral staircase to the second floor.

Gajeel, having a feeling that he will be there for a little while, sighs with a smile, and sits down with his legs and arms crossed as he looks down at the dollhouse.

He eyes it carefully, listening to his adorable little fairy's giggling and blushing brightly on the inside.

Levy, meanwhile, is running around the little house and exploring the upstairs rooms. She flies from one room to the next elated by the cuteness of it all.

This goes on for a while, until the giggles soften... And then... Stop completely...

Gajeel, now lounging back on his elbows with one knee propped up, notices in the cease in giggles.

His long body sits up, as he then rests an arm on his propped up knee. He bends down a little bit to look into one of the tiny windows of the house.

As he looks in, his head blocks out the light pouring into the room, making it dark, and as soon as the darkness takes command, Gajeel hears a soft shriek, as a little fairy takes out her wand, spelling the word "light" in large letters.

Gajeel flinches as the room fills with the light of the letters, and his eye travels to see the tiny Levy fairy standing in the center of a tiny library, tiny book in hand, and tiny glasses on her startled face.

When she realizes that their is a window-sized eye staring in at her, she jumps and lets out a startled scream, making the large eye blink rapidly in confusion.

"Levy?" Gajeel speaks in a gentle tone. "Are you alright?" He leans forward a bit more, placing his right hand on the side of the dollhouse as he peers in at her. His large eye scans her up and down as she stands there, shaking.

Her voice is shaken, but also calm. "I-I'm okay..." She slowly brings the book up to her lips, and then over her nose hiding the blush which is coming on. "Y-You just startled me..." She looks down shyly at her tiny, little feet.

His eye tilts in the window, indicating that his head is tilting ever so sweetly. "Is that so, shrimp?" A evil little smile develops on his face... He could tell that even though he scared her... He was still managing to fluster her.

She squeezes her eyes shut as she nods quickly, and then turns her back to the window, her wings now glowing a soft pink hue instead of blue.

He bellows a laugh, and then taps on the window with one long finger, making her jump again, as she then turns to him with a bright red, grumpy face.

"STOP THAT RIGHT NOW, GAJEEL!!!" She huffs. A pout develops on her crimson face.

This only makes his smile widen farther.

"Or what?" He speaks in a daring, playful tone.

Her eyes then open wide as her face turns an even darker shade of crimson.

"O-Or..." She looks around, and then down, and then looks straight at his eye. Her eyes then squeeze shut again as she jumps up and down, flailing her arms in frustration."I'LL RUN AWAY!!!"

His expression flinches in itself, until he smiles once more, and gets so close to the window so that his nose is pushed up against the little house.

"And what makes you think a little thing like you could run away from a big, scary dragon like me?" He says in a teasing manner. "I do believe that fire beats glitter..."

At this remark, she puts down her book to her side, and then points at his eye.

"YOU'LL SEE SOON ENOUGH!!!" She pronounces as she turns, and then runs into one of the hallways of the upstairs.

At this point now, Levy is blushing so hard, that a pink light is radiating off of her skin, and making a light around her, lighting up the hallway of the dollhouse.

Gajeel smirks, and then stands up, as he puts his hands on his hips, and spreads his legs out shoulder-width apart, as he tilts his head up slightly, but then lets his eyes rest down on the dollhouse.

He then starts to take one loud stomp, after the next, in tune with his speech, which is in a barbaric, deep tone, and surrounds around the dollhouse. "FE!" STOMP. "FI!" STOMP. "FO" STOMP. "FUM!" STOMP.

With each stomp, the dollhouse shakes, causing Levy's heart to race, and for her pink light to brighten even more so than it already was.

"I SMELL THE BLOOD OF A LITTLE, BLUE FAIRY!!!" He drops to his knees in front of a window as he says this, causing the house to take a little jump, and making Levy fly up in the air slightly, but then land safely back on her feet.

"BE SHE HERE OR BE SHE HIDING!!!" He bends down, so that his body is crouched, and his hands are resting on the grassy ground, as he closes one eye and starts looking through different windows with his other eye, until he spots something pink in his vision.

Levy, seeing the sudden movement outside a window at the end of the hall, quickly stops in her tracks, and turns completely to face it.

Her eyes widen as her blush soars.

Gajeel smirks at this, and then booms, "I'LL HAVE HER MINE FOREVER MORE!"

Suddenly, the eye disappears, and is replaced by a giant ab pressing itself up against the window, as Levy hears as something quite large rests on the roof.

Before she has a chance to hide away, the roof is pried off, and a large, smiling face replaces the roof as Gajeel holds the roof to the dollhouse over his head.

He then laughs, "You can run, but you can't hide."

Before Levy has a chance to sprint off, he takes one hand off of the roof, and then sends it charging down into the hallway, so that he snatches her up into his fist.

She lets out a soft scream from the suddenness of his movements, but Gajeel merely chuckles at this. He then brings her up to his face, and smiles "evilly".

"Looks like I have me a little fairy~" Her blush heats as he says this.

She then pouts, and shakes her fist, "YOU DIDN'T PLAY FAIR!!!" She shouts in a high high shout. She then continues to shout things at him about why he was unfair and such, and so on, until she is silenced by two large lips taking her entire face captive for a few seconds.

Her fist immediately stops shaking as it rests frozen beside his lips.

He pulls away, and then stares at the tomato-faced fairy, Levy.

He chuckles, and then strokes her left cheeks with the knuckle of his right pointer finger.

"I believe you are the one who has not played fair, Miss Scarlet, as you have received the prize of true love's kiss, and I, was the one who was victorious." She blushes harder as he says this, though by now, her blush could not have possibly gotten any stronger.
