"Gajeel !!", Lily shouts at the top of his lungs as he search for his partner.

Lily looked to their house and the guild but to no avail still can't find his partner.

"Where the hell is that jerk ?!", he flies up to the sky so he can look at a greater view. After several minutes of looking, Lily founds him, at the top of the hill besides the park of Magnolia, sitting alone at a thick branch of a huge tree.

"That jerk!", Lily cursed under his breath as he flies towards Gajeel.

"Gajeel !", he shouts as he throws a punch on Gajeel's face sending him off to the ground.

"What the hell?!!", Gajeel shouts as he stood up ready to face whoever asshole punched him.

"What the hell are you doing Pantherlily?!", he shouts as he see Lily standing in front of him with his battle form.

"Should I be the one asking you that?!", he says as he encircle around Gajeel and dash forward to launch another punch but Gajeel quickly dodge it and entangle Lily on the ground.

"What the fuck are you saying ?! And can you please calm down !!", Gajeel says as he pinned Lily's arms around his back.

"What the hell I'm saying ?! You're a big scaredy asshole ! That's what I'm saying !!"

Gajeel remains quiet as Lily trying to escape from his grip.

"How could you say those bluffs in front of Levy ?! Didn't we plan for you to confess your feelings ?! What the fuck did you say about don't having any feelings for her ?", Gajeel lets go of Lily as he calms down but now it's time for Lily to grab his shoulder and roll over so that now he's on top of Gajeel.

"What happened Gajeel ?! Are you backing off ? What do you think Levy is thinking now ?! You made her cry you insolent fool!", Lily says as he punch Gajeel again.

"Tch. Get off of me you damn cat."Gajeel says as he spits some blood.

"Of course I love her ! She's the only girl that I love and will love ! My life already belongs to her !!", he shouts as he stood once again and dust off his clothes.

"Then why--"

"I was scared ok ?! That devil match-maker knows how i feel. " he says as he shooks his head and look at the ground.

"And so ?", Lily cocked his eyebrow.

"And so?! I hurt Levy and her team ! What do you think they think about my love for her ? Do you think they can just accept that ?", Gajeel looks at him with fear and sadness in his eyes.

"For Mavis sake Gajeel ! Levy already forgave you. All of them ! You have to forgive yourself!", Lily says as he shake Gajeel's shoulder.

"H-how can you say that ? How can you be so sure that we share the same feelings ?"

"Gajeel, believe in her. You save her more than that. He loves you because of who you are and not because of your past. Gajeel, I want you and Levy to be happy. Don't break her heart just because you are scared. Hey, where's the sassy Gajeel Redfox that I know and I looked up to ?"

"He's right Metal Head !!", Natsu shouts as he stood up from the bushes. Together with him, stood Lucy, Erza, Gray, Juvia, and Mirajane.

"You guys .."

"That's right Gajeel-kun! Honestly I want to slap you right now for making Levy-chan cry.", Lucy said as he points to Gajeel.

"We already forgave you Gajeel. And we fully accept you. And to be honest, we are so glad that you are in love with Levy.", Erza says as she gave a nod to Gajeel.

"Yes ! I can't wait to be a godmother to.many GaLe babies~", says Mirajane as she starts to daydream about her future godchildrens.

"You see ? Forgive yourself Gajeel.", Lily says as he gave Gajeel a reassuring smile.

Gajeel shook his head and starts to feel his tears falling slowly.

"I.. I don't know what to say. I did something so terrible to you guys and yet.." Erza tap his shoulder and gave it a squeeze.

"You are one of us Gajeel. You are a Fairy Tail wizard."

Gajeel just smile, not a smirk or silly grin. He just smile. They are right. He should forgive himself and devote his life more to Levy. Not because he feels guilty of his past mistakes but because he loves her. He loves her whole being. He loves Levy McGarden more than anything. And now he is ready to admit that to the whole world.
