"Yes," he said in his usual deadpan voice, "now make yourself useful and follow me." (Levi chooses to hide behind his image of authority, and the gleam of the blades speak louder than he.) ~ "I. . .I don't know myself, (F/N). . .there's just something about you." (The moonlight coaxes the sentiment that's been dwelling inside of Levi, growing only, and the tips of his fingers and the beats of his heart all curl, praying this is something Levi doesn't come to regret.) ~ Levi laughs. "Right." (Expressing his sentiment has come as easy as breathing, as batting his eyelashes; he's glad he feels the warmth of something that isn't the impermanence of a Titan's shed blood, he's glad he's able to grasp something that isn't the suffocation of his turmoil. ) Love is strange, love is new, but Levi supposes many things are made in that fashion.

Lucy Heartfilia was never the strongest. She always knew she wasn't as strong as Erza, Natsu or Gray. Even little Wendy was more capable in a fight. She had always ignored this fact, trying to convince herself she wasn't weak. But when Lisanna Strauss returns from Edolas, everything changes. People she cared about, people she thought were her closest friends, forget about her. When Lucy's worst nightmare, being asked to leave team Natsu, becomes reality. Lucy decides to get stronger, not just to prove to them that she's strong, but to prove to herself that she's stronger than she thinks. #12 in Fanfiction 7/10/18 #3 in Lucy Fanfiction 6/25/18 #1 in Fairytail 6/25/18 #1 in LaLu 7/1/19 ~This story doesn't exactly go with the normal Fairytail ark, but bear with me~
