Literal, Beauty and the Beast (GaLe)

Oh, This Should be too Easy

He always liked seeing her red face. In his mind, she looked like an adorable little tomato... Like, one of the bite sized ones.

His gruff voice comes out. "Levy~ Little Levy-Loo~"

She squeezes her eyes shut and pouts.

"I want to go back into the house." She huffs.

He smiles. "You mean, the dollhouse~"

She looks up at him to make a remark, but then her eyes go bland, as she pouts further.

A chuckle escapes his vocals, and he is about to say something, when a banshee cry reaches his ears.

His head jolts up, and he immediately pulls his hand holding Levy to his chest, as he holds his other arm in front of him, making it an iron fist.

Levy's head whips around. "Gajeel???" The cries continue. "What's that??" Her voice in high and squeaky.

Gajeel's brow furrows as he glares at the howling woods before him.

"Quiet, squirt--" As he says this, he feels something microscopic land in his cheek.

He flinches, but nothing more.

Then, another lands in his cheek.

And another.

"G-Gajeel..." Levy looks up at the three threads of blood coming down his cheek. Her eyes widen. "Gajeel!!! Your bleeding--"

"NOW!!!" A voice calls from the woods, which is followed by a ferocious battle cry of hundreds.

"GAJEEL!!!" Levy squeals in fear as she grips his hand with his arms as if she were holding onto her life.

He curses beneath his breath, and then stands his ground, raising his arm slightly to hit whatever beasts were coming their way.

He would have put Levy down, but he knew that his hand was the safest place for her to be.

The cries surround them, and Gajeel starts turning to see where the ambush would strike first, when suddenly, the underbrush starts to move on his left side.

He turns on command, and then aims his arm down towards the underbrush.

He concentrates on the spot, and readies for his arm to make impact with the beast. Within a blink of an eye, something jumps out from the underbrush, and makes contact with Gajeel's fist... And is squished.

Gajeel growls, and then pulls his iron fist away, revealing a tiny, little demon fairy.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me," He grunts.

The first, is followed by another, which he squishes as well.

"This is going to be too easy." He smirks.

Yet, he says this almost too soon, as a cluster of the microscopic bullets comes his way, impaling his face.

"AHHHH!!!" He cries, as his steps back, making Levy squeak.

He tries making his entire body iron dragon scales, but this spell that he was under... It was preventing him doing it.

He curses again, when suddenly something grabs the back of his hair, and starts pulling him back as other things start hitting his legs and feet.

Gajeel starting punching random things with his iron fist as his mind and body are taken off balance, and he is forced to fall with a loud slam onto his back.

Levy screams as she buries her face into Gajeel's bare chest.

He starts scrambling to his feet, but finds himself struggling as translucent threads are thrown over his body, tying him to the ground, and pulling him to the earth.

He growls, and starts biting at the threads, but they were strong like a spider's and could not be broken so easily.

"GAJEEL!!" Levy cries, frightened as victorious cheers surround them.

He merely growls, and continues to struggle, until something crawls up his cheek, and forces a substance into his nose which he has no choice than to snort.

His eyes begin to droop, and his furrowed brow begins to relax as he curses and holds his little Fairy close.
