Levy likes Gajeel but is to shy to admit it. Gajeel likes Levy but his haunted past keeps him from telling her. When the two mages (along with Pantherlily) decide to take a job together deciphering ancient ruins protected by bandits, they discover new things about each other and themselves. Will Levy be able to swallow her fear and will Gajeel be able to forgive himself for what he did all that time ago...?

Warning! This story will contain some juicy lemons and limes later in the plot. This is a GaLe fanfic but there will be little bits of NaLu and Gruvia scattered about.
