My Iron Knight (Gajevy/Gale)

Chapter 19: Savage Taste

Panther Lily P.O.V.

Looks like Levy's safe. I exhaled in relief. Gajeels been acting strange lately, Levy's the only person that has an effect on him. Maybe she'll straighten him up. I hope so.

But as of now, I'll just leave them be.

Levy's P.O.V.

I looked at the ground as he pulled me through the small desert village. I shivered. It's suddenly so cold! We're literally in the middle of the desert, why is it being so bipolar?! I glanced up wondering if the sun decided to burn out. But the sun was still there. I looked harder realizing snow was falling.

Snow? In the desert?

I glanced over at, Gajeel.

He kept dragging me until we finally reached the train. I stepped in almost tripping over the steps. Gajeel practically threw me in the seat like he wanted me to mold into it or something. Then he sat across from me arms crossed. I brought up my knees to my face, wrapping my arms around them. I sat down, my breathing going to a some-what normal pace; As in, I didn't feel it pounding through my ribs like it was gonna break my bones, anymore.

But if my bones do break I'll fall unconscious with pain in my eyes. And after that, my body will freeze. 100 years later, some one will discover my body. They'll wonder how the world was like a century ago. What magic and how they improv-

"Shrimp." Gajeel looked down at me waving a hand in front of my face. "The hell are you staring at?"

I was brought out of my thoughts, realizing how bad the situation looked. "I-I just zoned out... I was definitely not checking you out or anything!"

He glanced at me confused and I was going to reciprocate the look, until I recalled what I had said. I started blushing. Gajeel looked over at my face as it turned into a tomato.

"What?"

"What?"

"What did you j-"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Pretty damn sur-"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off!"

"Listen up Shr-"

"Ah! I cut you off again!"

"Hey-"

"I cut you off three times! Now, four!"

"SHUT YOUR F*CKING FACE, SHRIMP!!"

The sudden outburst kept me quit for a couple of seconds, well, until:

"You know, you don't need to call me 'Shrimp'." I puffed out my cheeks like a child.

"What's wrong with Shrimp? They're tasty little f*ckers."

"Everything..."

"Well, then what do you think it means?"

"Isn't it obvious?" I took a deep breath and sighed. "A shrimp, a diminutive in the head and unimportant person. Someone who's at the bottom of the food chain; Hence, they're weak, rely on others to much, and are always just picking up the bits and pieces our superiors drop down." I glared at him the best I could.

His eyes widened. "I don't even know what half that shit means."

I frown in disbelief. "Huh?"

"You overthink everything." he said knocking at my fore head. "I call you Shrimp because you're so f*cking short."

"What." I felt like wind in the shape of a hand smacked my face so hard, it threatened to break the train. That was my face palm. I almost collapsed. All this time, all these months, I thought that there was some deeper meaning behind 'Shrimp'.

But. It just insults my height?

My... height?

I sunk into my seat. "Gajeel."

"Hmm?"

"Please give me a moment to think my life over."

"We will be departing! We will be departing!"

A couple seconds later the train started moving.

"Shit, I almost forgot I was on the train." He mumbled out.

"Don't worry we'll be at-"

"Fairy Tail." He spoke finishing my sentence.

He looked surprised at his own words. "The f*cks, Fairy Tail?" He muttered under his breath.

Was Gajeel getting his memory back?

Here's another chapter my cupcakes. I've started watching AOT, it's awesomeness in its purest essence. Pic is Squid Girl holding a giant Shrimp (kind of defeats the purpose, I mean... it's giant). But whatever.
