Gajevy

"I really did......want to walk with you......side by side......forever.....After everything I've faced… Having a future with you snatched away from me… Is definitely the most terrifying thing I've ever had to endure."

- Gajeel Redfox confesses his love to Levy McGarden

Gajevy is the het ship between Gajeel Redfox and Levy McGarden from the Fairy Tail fandom.

Manga & Anime
Gajeel and Levy are very close friends and guildmates. However, when they met for the first time, they were members of enemy guilds. Gajeel attacks Levy and her teammates, defeats them in a one sided battle, nails them to a tree, and brands Phantom Lord's symbol onto Levy's stomach.

After the war between the two guilds and Gajeel's subsequent conversion over to Fairy Tail, Levy is still among those who have their doubts about the man's entrance to their guild as one of their newest members. However, after Laxus Dreyar attacks Levy while her team is bullying Gajeel, Gajeel blocks the blow for her and it lowers her doubts about him.

During the start of the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, Levy is among the eight candidates who are selected to take part in the test, something which has her show a lack of confidence. In the end, however, she is encouraged by Gajeel, who even volunteers to be her partner, which makes her blush. During the Intelligence part of the S-Class Trial, the Iron Dragon Slayer constantly annoys Levy, and tells her that if she wants attention from him, she should get stronger and seriously fight him once in a while, not regarding Levy's disappointed feelings at his demeaning words. However, when Levy runs away out of frustration, Gajeel chases after her and saves her life from Yomazu and Kawazu, two members of Grimoire Heart. In the said instance, he tells her that, "It is really hard looking for someone so small," but follows his remark by saying, "so don't leave my side please."

Levy is shown to care about Gajeel's well-being, seen when she watched over him in his unconscious state on Tenrou Island and also tried to stop him from baiting Laxus when he was slightly intoxicated. As for Gajeel, he cares for Levy to the point that his own safety is less important than hers. During his battle with Bradman, Gajeel claims that he will bring Levy home safe and sound, no matter the cost, and risked his own life by inhaling poisonous magical particles.

During Gajeel's battle against Rogue, Levy shouts out in shock as Rogue obtains a strange power and injures Gajeel. As the battle continues, Levy watches as Gajeel is continuously beaten upon.Levy then watches in fear as Gajeel is being strangled, screaming for "Shadow" to stop, lest the Iron Dragon Slayer die. Levy cried when she sees Gajeel's suffering. However, Gajeel's eating of Rogue's shadows warrants Levy's full curiosity as she wonders what is happening. Once Gajeel has won the fight, Levy is then shown blushing with Cana patting her head.

During the battle with the Spriggan 12, Gajeel is battling Bradman, who through his intimidating speech reminds Gajeel of the day he attacked Levy, Jet and Droy, which Gajeel refers to as the worst day of his life. Levy later shows up to help Gajeel, much to his dismay, but she proves to be an asset. This is until her Solid Script: Mask is shown to wear off, though she revealed it gave her no true defense against Bradman's anti-magic particle release. This angers Gajeel as he didn't want to put Levy in any danger and says he will defeat Bradman quickly so he may take Levy back to the guild safe and sound, remarking that he will protect 'the girl he fell for'.

Being that Bradman couldn't be affected by physical attacks, Gajeel then ingests all of the anti-magic particles from the air, similar to his actions during his battle with Torfuzar which allowed him to achieve Dragon Force. Gajeel then swiftly defeats Bradman, but right as he is defeated, Bradman begins to absorb Gajeel into his body in order to drag him into the underworld with him. Levy immediately rushed to Gajeel's aid, but he protests as Levy would likely be sucked into the trap and Gajeel noticed that he was beyond saving at that moment. Levy continues to fight to save Gajeel, claiming she is no longer the weakling or damsel in distress he once knew. Gajeel begs her to stop, only for Pantherlily to step in and restrain Levy. As Gajeel is being pulled into the portal, he confesses how being in Fairy Tail with Levy by his side opened his eyes to what the future could be for him, his love for her and of his thoughts about their future together with a family in such before finally thanking her for showing him love. Gajeel then makes Pantherlily promise to get Levy home safe, to which Pantherlily tearfully swears on his life. With one last smirk, Gajeel is sucked into the portal, Levy and Pantherlily are left sobbing and heartbroken over the apparent demise of their beloved comrade.

Later, it is revealed that Gajeel did not die, but due to Irene's Universe One, he was teleported to Tenrou Island instead of the Underworld, where he meets Zera who explains to him what happened. After hearing the unbelievable explanation and the revelation that he did not die, Gajeel realizes and blushes at his confession of love to Levy. When Zera telepathically communicates with the entirety of Fairy Tail to rush to Mavis' side, albeit nervously causing the others to question the legitimacy of her plea, Gajeel speaks up, providing the proof that they need to charge forward. When hearing this, Levy and Pantherlily are taken aback, with Levy saying "Gajeel" with tears in her eyes, relieved that he wasn't killed after all. When the two are finally reunited on the battlefield, Levy kicks Gajeel (comedically), and when they fall she lands sitting on his torso. She then declares tearfully that he promised to take her back the guild and that he had better keep his word. Gajeel smiles and agrees that he will.

Following the death of Acnologia at Lucy's award ceremony for her book, Levy approaches Gajeel to whisper in his ear that she is pregnant. Lucy couldn't quite hear them but swore she heard "baby" and realized her suspicions were true after seeing Wendy's reaction to what they heard given Wendy has better ears.

Key of the Starry Sky Arc
When the members of Fairy Tail begin to practice their dancing skills in preparation for a dance ball, Gajeel notices Levy looking in his direction and tells her outright that he is, by no means, going to ask her to dance, however she rebukes saying that no one asked him to. Levy then gets asked by Jet and Droy to dance, however as Jet and Droy starts to bicker, she soon starts dancing with Gajeel, leaving Jet and Droy to stare on in disbelief.

When Fairy Tail decides to separate in teams in order to gather the five remaining keys, Levy teams up with Pantherlily, Jet and Droy. Hiking on a mountain, they found Gajeel in his training, which is joined by Pantherlily, the team, now including Gajeel, set out after their brief training session.

The team heads to a mountain that Lucy had claimed to contain a clock piece. The team starts climbing the mountain in search of the clock piece while Pantherlily flies beside them. Gajeel climbs the fastest, arriving at the top with Pantherlily before Team Shadow Gear. When Levy, Jet, and Droy finally get to the top, they ask for a break, to which Gajeel firmly denies. They soon noticed that the clock piece was nowhere to be found. Gajeel then claims that it may be buried somewhere in the mountainside and begins to dig as the others lie down exhausted. Levy eventually starts digging down into the mountain with the others. She stops digging when Gajeel states that someone is watching them and the group soon discovers that one of the Legion Corps, Samuel, is present and  also searching for the clock part.

Pantherlily orders the rest to search for the part while he keeps Samuel busy. By digging, Gajeel opens the entrance to a lower room with weird faces and finds some symbols, which, according to Levy, mean "I'm hungry". After Jet says that, seeing the room from afar, it looks like a huge clock, Droy realizes that it should be pointing towards lunch time. After Gajeel moves the pointers of the clock to that specific time, the clock part appears in front of the group.

A clock-like statue appears and the group goes to it. Gajeel steps up and licks the face of the statue, telling them it's made of iron, to which the rest wonder if he could have discovered its physical properties through other means. Levy sees that there is scripture on the statue and goes to translate it, but Gajeel stops her, telling her that they don't have the time. Instead, he pulls on the iron piece and ends up setting off a trap which results in the nearby statue coming to life and viciously attacking them. After dodging its attacks, the group notices a device on the statue's head and reasons that destroying it will shut down the statue. Team Shadow Gear attempts to reach the top of the stone figure with a combination of Levy's Solid Script, Droy's vines, and Jet's speed. Their teamwork appears successful, prompting Gajeel to praise Levy, nodding his head in approval as he does so.

However, when Jet and Droy fail to reach it, Levy is determined to do it herself, only to be stopped by Gajeel, who attempts to go after the red object himself but soon fails. When Gajeel attempts to eat the iron part, in order to restore his energy, he and Levy argue once again but Gajeel soon realizes that the creature is not after the Fairy Tail Mages, but the clock part itself. Knowing this, he throws the part to an ignorant Levy and soon afterwards heads after the red object on the guardian's head and destroys it, along with the guardian itself. At the same time, Pantherlily beats Samuel, who is utterly confused about his wrong calculations, and Levy comments on that saying that there are all kinds of Exceeds out there.

As the group returns with their clock piece, they are annoyed that Samuel is following them. Gajeel, Levy, Jet, and Droy are seen walking as Samuel tells Pantherlily that Exceed perceive time differently to humans, and that due to this, there was something in the Key of the Starry Heavens that leaped out at him.

As they're walking, the clock piece suddenly emits a bright light. The team head to the same desert where Natsu's group has been searching for their respective clock piece, carrying their own with them. They and the other search parties arrive and prepare to fight Byro Cracy but their Magic is nullified. However, before their battle can escalate, all the clock piece assemble before them, forming the Infinity Clock. As it chimes a deafening sound, a group of six people arrive at the scene.

As Fairy Tail and the Legion Corps try to retrieve the Infinity Clock from the Reborn Oración Seis, Angel destroys the nearby architecture with her Angel Magic, allowing them to escape. The group is later rescued by The Trimens.

After returning to the guild, the group soon decides that they will pursue the Infinity Clock and the Reborn Oración Seis, using Cana to properly pair them up and divine the locations of the six Dark Mages. Gajeel is teamed up with Juvia, who annoys him when she keeps insisting he swap with Gray. Finally convincing Juvia that parting from Gray will be alright, the groups sets out. Levy, along with Freed and Jean-Luc, stayed at the guild to try and decipher the secret of Real Nightmare. She watches as Jean-Luc states that Happy was correct: if they defeat the Reborn Oración Seis, the Real Nightmare will be stopped.

After defeating the Reborn Oración Seis and destroying the Infinity Clock, Gajeel, Levy, and the rest of Fairy Tail celebrate with the Legion Corps. They then later say goodbye to the Legionnaires, who apologized to them, as they head off on their journey to seek out and seal the scattered parts of the Infinity Clock.

Eclipse Celestial Spirits Arc
As the Celestial Spirits performed the Liberum, they are interrupted by Gajeel, Levy, and the other Fairy Tail members which causes the Celestial Spirits to return to their gates. This prompts everyone to follow. Using Hisui's Celestial Spirit Banishment Keys, they manage to enter and encounter their respective Celestial Spirits, engaging them in various competitions. Gajeel and Lily took the Banishment Key to track down Gemini while Levy took the one for Capricorn.

After defeating their respective spirits, Gajeel, Levy, and the others meet back up in the hub world only to notice that Natsu, Lucy and Yukino are not around, deducing that they are still fighting.

Realising that in order to stop Liberum Versus they must destroy Ophiuchus' body at the same time, Erza orders Gajeel, Levy, and the others to strike the beast from different locations.

With the defeat of Eclipse Ophiuchus, the Fairy Tail Mages think that the Celestial Spirits have returned to normal but the ground around them shake and Horologium comes to inform the Mages that the Eclipse Celestial Spirit King will destroy the Celestial Spirit World. He provides the group of Mages Celestial clothing, allowing them travel to the Celestial World. After deciding that the Spirits are to be saved, the Fairy Tail Mages head to the Celestial Spirit World. Erza signals the rest of Fairy Tail to attack but find their attacks ineffective, even when done simultaneously. The creature sends a massive shock wave that blows everyone away but the Mages jump back up. The Eclipse King fires a red beams at Gajeel but Levy sacrifices herself, which transforms her into a constellation in the sky.

Tartaros Arc
Alongside several of their guildmates, Gajeel and Levy look through a book with information on E.N.D. and find out that it is on a completely different scale from other Demons like Deliora and Lullaby, which leads the group to conclude that it is Zeref's strongest Demon. Before they can discuss further, Jet comes storming in the guild, carrying some bad news. Later on, Gajeel, Levy, along with the other Fairy Tail Mages, are present when Porlyusica diagnoses that Laxus, Freed, Bickslow and Evergreen will survive despite their lethal poisoning. Gajeel and Levy stand next to each other as Loke enters the guild hall and claims that he knows the location of some former councilors. Gajeel and Levy then listen to Makarov's inspiring speech about eliminating Tartarus for the sake of their friends.

After Gajeel and Levy, being dispatched alongside Pantherlily and the rest of Team Shadow Gear, Gajeel regrettably notifies Makarov that they were too late in rescuing Belno from Tartarus, blaming himself for not arriving sooner. Still connected to the Lacrima in the guild, Gajeel and Levy listen to Michello as the latter reveals what Face is and its ability. They and the rest of the Fairy Tail members anxiously discuss their next course of action.

After the dispatched teams return from their expeditions, Gajeel and Levy hear Lucy and the others admit that they were unable to find Natsu and the others. As they discuss on, Happy returns bearing information of the missing members. After discovering that Tartarus' base is atop a moving square, the members conclude that they are unable to pinpoint the exact location. After Levy inquires Happy of their approximate whereabouts, she takes the liberty of calculating Tartarus' course of travel. Upon successfully pinpointing their base, Levy informs her guildmates that the base is directly above Magnolia. Gajeel then points out that Tartarus came to them instead of the other way around. A huge explosion suddenly goes off and destroys the guild, leaving the fate of its members unknown. However, it is soon revealed that Cana learned of the bomb before it went off and, using a technique she recently learned, turns Gajeel, Levy, and there rest of the guild into cards and had the Exceeds head straight for Cube, where they were released from the cards to launch their counterattack. Later, Gajeel, Levy, along with the rest of Fairy Tail, are addressed by Mard Geer who threatens their lives with a powerful Curse, Alegria. Like the rest of the guild, they fall victims to the sudden transformation of the surrounding land, and are petrified in stone.

During their fight against Torafusa and Tempesta, Gajeel and Natsu begin to bicker, until Tempesta releases a massive wave of black water. Hearing Gajeel's voice, Levy swims to his location. Gajeel tells Natsu to save the girls and find an escape route through the water, only to find him unconscious.

Gajeel is informed that the water is poisonous and will kill him and his comrades in five minutes. Battling Torafusa, Gajeel's air suply soon fades, causing Gajeel to question his likeliness to survive. His consciousness diminishing, Gajeel sees a light. Levy appears and transfers her own air to Gajeel via mouth to mouth, causing him to awaken at her own consciousness' expense. Seeing Levy's presence, Gajeel wonders why she is there. Torafusa attacks Gajeel once more, but Gajeel re-enters Iron Shadow Dragon Mode and is able to properly fight back, while carrying Levy.

Being brought back to her senses when Gajeel viscously shakes her, Levy is asked by the Dragon Slayer to give air to her other comrades, and becomes flustered when she realizes she could have used her Magic to give Gajeel air rather than mouth-to-mouth. Using her Magic at once, Levy creates a bubble of air for her and Gajeel to breath by, and then swims off to help Juvia, Lucy and Natsu as Gajeel continues to battle Torafuzar.

While Gajeel and Levy take Laxus and Juvia with Porlyusica so that both of them receive medical attention, Levy tries to make a joke by saying that Gajeel should compose a ballad for her for having saved his life (by giving him air). Gajeel reflects for a moment and begins to sing, until a very embarrassed Levy request him to stop.

A week after the defeat of Tartaros, Levy spends time with Gajeel, who tries to deal with Metalicana's loss. he falls asleep on the pavement, Levy reminds him that it is not the guild, so he can't do that, but her remark only meets his silence as a response.

Avatar Arc
Gajeel, Pantherlily and Levy joined Magic Council's forces while Fairy Tail was disbanded, between X791 and X792.

Levy infiltrated into Avatar's cult gaining the information to arrest all cultist. The trio didn't catch the former comrades of Fairy Tail, although Gajeel stated several times that he was going to arrest them. After that, Levy and Gajeel went to the Magic Council to officially quit their jobs as members of the Magic Council Enforcement Unit and met later in Magnolia with the rest of their guild partners.

Alvarez Empire Arc
Gajeel and the reformed B team heads off to help the main infiltration team by finding Laxus. Levy angrily catches up with them and states that she was not invited. However, Gajeel retorted by saying that she was so small so she could have fit into his bag, resulting in her exclaiming that Gajeel was a big dummy. Juvia makes some comments about them, and thinks they are flirting.

When the group arrives are at Blue Pegasus' hot springs, they meet up with Ichiya, who tells them that Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe have joined Blue Pegasus, something that shocks Levy. When Gajeel is knocked over to the women's side of the hot springs and lands on top of Levy, she is visibly embarrassed and thus hits him. Before Alvarez initially attacked, Gajeel and Levy are seen sleeping together.

The night before the battle is to begin, Levy sees Gajeel sitting out late at night and asks if he is going to rest up, to which he responds she is one to talk. Levy states that she is scared as the enemy is the most powerful they have ever faced and her magic just doesn't compare. Suddenly, Gajeel surrounds her in iron clubs, stating he is going to arrest her for complaining. She pouts slightly before he says he is going to arrest her and lock her up in the guild's prisons, causing her to then smile.

Gajeel later gets into a fight with Bradman, for bringing up the worst memory of his life, which is hanging Levy. While fighting Bradman, Levy jumps in to save Gajeel from an otherwise unavoidable attack. Levy then uses her magic to make a mask that will allow her to fight without being affected by the anti-magic particles Bradman is made of. The two continue to fight until Levy starts coughing up blood with her mask off. Gajeel tells her to put the mask back on, but Levy says the mask has no effect when it comes to protecting herself. Levy pretended the mask worked so she could save Gajeel. Gajeel then promises to be back as soon as he defeats Bradman. While fighting he states that he had always been upset that he was the one falling behind, but if he could protect Levy, the woman he fell for, then nothing else mattered.

With this determination, Gajeel consumed Bradman's anti magic particle allowing him to achieve Dragon Force which he used to fight against the shield of spriggan overwhelming the latter until defeating him. Once Bradman was defeated, Levy and Gajeel congratulated each other until Bradman decided to drag Gajeel with him to the underworld. When Levy tried to intervene, Gajeel tried to stop her by pinning her to a rock until Levy broke free however, Panther Lily stopped her.

As he was being pulled into the underworld, Gajeel spoke with Levy and stated all he wanted was to walk beside her forever as she was the one person who got him to think of the future and other things such as a family. Gajeel bids Levy farewell while telling Lily to take her back to the guild hall for him. Gajeel was then consumed as Levy broke down in tears.

It later turns out that Gajeel was not taken to the underworld but was instead transported to Tenrou Island due to another Spriggan using her magic to shift all of Fiore landmarks and its people as mentioned by Zera. This news shocked Gajeel who blushed as he remembered what he told Levy when he thought he was going to die.

Later on, as Zera telepathically speaks to the mages of Fairy Tail telling them to head to the guild. However, some members express distrust towards her that is until Gajeel speaks causing them to realize she's an ally with that they head for the guild. Levy overhearing Gajeel's voice, sheds tears as she realizes he's still alive and is only able to say his name in relief.

Later on, while fighting the Alvarez Army Gajeel saves Jet and Droy as Levy calls his name and Gajeel looks at her speechless before she kicks him in the face. Levy insults Gajeel for making her worry but calms down and reminds him of his previous promise to take her back to the guild as Gajeel states he will do that when the enemies are taken down. Watching this, Zera remarks that youth is a very strange thing.

After the defeat and death of Acnologia, Lucy wins the best author award and they have a celebration party where the fairy tail members attended. Lucy points out that Levy and Gajeel have grown closer and at the party Levy calls to Gajeel and whispers something to his ear, which makes him blush.

Lucy thought she heard Levy whisper "baby" to his ear and looks over to see Wendy blushing and comments that Wendy has better hearing and heard what she had said. Later on Panther Lily asks Levy's teammates if they have seen Levy and Gajeel who appear to be gone from the party to be alone.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest
Note: This is the official sequel to the main/original story (manga). The storyboard is by Hiro Mashima, and the art is by Atsuo Ueda. Because this spinoff is written by Hiro Mashima and promoted/endorsed by him, it's considered a canon continuation. As of 2021, an anime adaption has also been green lit.

Some time before Team Natsu got permission for the 100 year quest, Levy confirmed to Lucy and Wendy that the rumor about her pregnancy was true. Natsu listened to her by chance and naively asked if the child was his (while Happy thought she would lay an egg), to which a very embarrassed Levy replied that there was no way the baby could be his. Levy admitted that she still couldn't believe that she is going to become a mother, but she love her baby and that she would protect it no matter what happened.

When a girl named Touka joins the guild, Gajeel begins to suspect her after hearing her mention the name of "Briar" (a member of Avatar), and decides to investigate her along with Juvia and Panther Lily. This causes a conflict between Gajeel and Levy, who believes he is being unfair to the new member of the Fairy Tail family. Despite the disagreement between the two, Gajeel's main concern is Levy's safety and he just wants to make sure Touka is not a threat. When Gajeel, Juvia and Lily follow Touka to her house and try to spy on her, Gajeel lands over Juvia accidentally, and Levy witnesses it. Although both tries to tell her that it is not what it seems, Levy simply walks away in disgust. She calling Gajeel an "idiot" while touching her belly.

Eventually, is revealed that Gajeel's suspicions are not as unfounded as Levy thought, since both, along with Juvia and Lily, discover Touka when she tries to attack Jellal. After being knocked out by Gajeel, Touka awakens in the guild hall, where she is further questioned by Jellal and the Fairy Tail Mages. She explains that her body has been taken over by the "White Wizard"; who has the ability to restrict the magic of other mages (causing death in the worst case due to Magic Deficiency Disease). And part of the reason she wanted to join Fairy Tail was because she believed that Wendy might be able to help her with a separation enchantment, but before she can continue, the White Wizard retakes control of Touka's body and attacks the mages of Fairy Tail.

In the city of Draseel, Team Natsu is horrified to find their friends under the control of the White Wizard, who intends of use to the Fairy Tail mages to "White Out" the four God Dragons left, starting with the dragon Aldoron. Lucy suggests using this opportunity to save their friends with Wendy's healing magic, but first they must leave them unconscious to make it work. Given this, Natsu declares the opening of the "Battle of Fairy Tail in Draseel".

Natsu and Gajeel face each other. When their battle comes to a standstill with both Dragon Slayers exhausted but refusing to surrender, Levy intervenes and takes Gajeel's place to protect him, despite his protests about putting herself in danger. Natsu manages to avoid her spell "Solid Script: Bullet" and prepares to hit her, while Gajeel screams furiously at him to stop. Natsu remembers suddenly that Levy is pregnant and hesitates, which gives her the opportunity to use her spell "Solid Script: Carriage", geting him away and incapacitating him due to his motion sickness.

Gajeel comment she was very reckless and admits that he feels he has been defeated again, but Levy says him that "to her, he is the best", while she takes his hand and he corresponds her with a smile. Later, Cana uses her magic to catch them in cards, mentioning that the couple was flirting; which facilitated their capture.

When the White Wizard loses her control over the guild members, Cana frees the mages she captured with her cards to also them fight God Seed Wolfen and his army of copies. These retreat thanks to the ingenuity of Natsu, who tricked Wolfen into assuming the form of Zeref. However, the God Seed Metro and his army of Wood Golems take their place. Although Gajeel is excited about the battle, Levy is very concerned about his well-being. With the defeat of Metro at the hands of Gray and Juvia, the members of Fairy Tail wonder about the situation, since they do not remember anything that happened while they were being controlled. Before Lucy can explain, Brandish announces her presence and offers her help to defeat Aldoron. She suggests using her magic to increase the size of one of them, indirectly pointing to the Iron Dragon Slayer reminding them that their adversary is a dragon.

Turned into a giant, Gajeel takes on Aldoron with relative ease, being able to resist his attacks with his iron scales. When Aldoron uses the Thicket of Arms to create a rain of sharp blades, Gajeel uses his body to protect his companions, receiving the thorns on his back. The Dragon Slayer prepares to fight back, but Aldoron attempts to stab him with a giant thorn, horrifying Levy. Fortunately, Brandish's magic loses its effect due to the time limit and Gajeel quickly returns to his original size, unharmed. The mages begin to flee from the attack of Aldoron, who manages to damage them with his rain of blades, even those members who were in other cities.

After Aldoron is defeated, the guild celebrates. During the party, Gajeel talks to Levy and Lily about telling to their kid: "Yer dad once got as huge as a mountain". Following the party, the girls go to a hot spring and Brandish shrinks them for them to have fun. Later, they all start to look for her so she can change them back to normal size, tiny Levy tells what happened to Gajeel, who angrily replies that Brandish should be arrested. Lily comments that either way they are "a giant father and tiny mother", to which Gajeel replies that now they got another story to tell their kid, while Levy smiles. Eventually all the girls return to their normal size.

Fairies' Penalty Game
After a competition was made between the two Fairy Tail teams, Gajeel tells Laxus he better win for them. Having won the game, Gajeel claims Lucy as his prize and made her, along with Levy, put on bunny suits as they dance by him while he sings and plays the guitar. Levy begins to question how she got herself into that situation. Levy's eyes stray down to Lucy's bosom, gandering at its buoyancy and is astonished at the contrast between herself and Lucy. After stating how it feels like she is the one who is actually being punished, she runs off in tears, abandoning Gajeel's performance, with Gajeel chasing after her. Lucy, befuddled, thinks that her punishment is over, but Gajeel reassures her that it isn't and tells her that Mirajane will be taking care of her in his absence.

Gajeel finds Levy in near the river in the city, she tells asks him how long he's going to follow her but he doesn't answer her questions, she then asks him if he finds the outfit she's wearing strange and she feels self conscious, Gajeel tells her its an outfit and he doesn't really look at who wears it which makes her angry/ Levy is suddenly getting catcalled which angers Gajeel, he picks her up puts her over her shoulder while telling the men to scram. After they do Gajeel gives his famous "Gihi" laugh as he can easily see Levy's behind which makes her glare at him.

413 Days
Heading for the Fairy Tail Guild with Gray's gift in tow, Juvia glances towards Gajeel and Levy, whom she sees them in a tight embrace and kissing. Alarming Juvia even further, she realises that the two are actually sitting on opposite sides of the table, with Juvia concluding that she has too much love in her head, making her delusional.

Fairies Christmas
During the Christmas party in Lucy's apartment, they are both sitting together. Gajeel worries about Levy when she gets drunk next to the rest of the girls, only so that she laughs at her "lack of eyebrows" while pulling his hair out laughing. During the game of Master of the Guild, Levy mentions to Erza that "she would like to be a married woman one day".Gajeel is equally surprised (and blushing) when Erza orders Levy to take off her underwear and throw it out the window.

Beat Up Gajeel
Levy returns home and finds Gajeel sleeping soundly on the floor in his underwear. She picks up his clothes, protesting the mess he has made, but then she realizes that Gajeel has several new scars on his torso. Gajeel has been working hard to raise money because they will soon have a baby, and he hasn't even had time to heal all his wounds before his last job.

Some time later, Panther Lily returns and sees Levy sleeping on the floor along with Gajeel. The Exceed comments that they will catch a cold and he smiles when admits that he can´t wait for their family to get bigger.

Fairy Tail Gaiden: Rhodonite
When a council messenge arrives at the Fairy Tail guild looking for Gajeel, who is under suspicion of complicity in the escape of a prisoner, Levy refuses to believe that he is guilty and she gets angry with her guildmates when they can not say anything good about Gajeel. With a clue provided by Juvia, Levy decides to go and look for Gajeel in Denish, the city where he used to live before joining Phantom Lord. When the water mage questions whether Levy is upset that Gajeel left without saying anything to her, Levy blushes and denies it.

In Denish, Levy and Panther Lily manages to find Gajeel, who seems to have returned to regain control of the city with his old companion Mash (the criminal wanted by the Council). The Dragon Slayer attacks his own guildmates,  leaving them unconscious and locking them; although he does so to keep them out of danger while he takes care of stopping the traffic of an illegal magic drug known as Rhodonite.

On the way to the harbor, after listening to Mash talking about Gajeel, Levy admits somewhat embarrassed that she really does not know anything about the Iron Dragon Slayer; although Juvia, Gray and Lily agree that Gajeel does not usually talk about his past.

Upon reaching they discover that Gajeel has defeated multiple users of the drug without help. Levy approaches and gives him a slight blow in the stomach as  revenge for having beaten her out before, and she admits that is glad to see that he is safe.

When a criminal boss known as Vodka Killer is revealed to be responsible for the drug trade and who orchestrated Mash's escape from prison, Levy is relieved to have been right about Gajeel's innocence.

Intermission
At the Magic Council Headquarters, Gajeel and Levy are discussing the latter going on an undercover investigation. He then jokes that she won't be spotted due to her shortness, much to her dismay, resulting in Panther Lily to state that this is his way in worrying about Levy. Gajeel argues that he isn't as Levy is very capable of such thing, leading her to stare at him for a minute. He then tells not to mess up, in which she replies she won't.

Fairy Tail City Hero
A Spin-Off in which members of Fairy Tail are policemen.

While Lucy takes care of the new recruit, a mysterious girl named Mavis, they are both informed about someone suspicious in a nearby park; who turns out to be Gajeel eating an iron slide. Levy appears and creates some iron with his magic, which Gajeel devours and comments that it is delicious, while Levy apologizes to Lucy for the situation.

Lucy greets Levy for her birthday and comments that because of her good mood she seems to be waiting for something. Levy admits that a pair of days ago, Gajeel told her that he wanted to celebrate her birthday as a thank you because she always helps everyone at the police station. Lucy and the other girls pledge to help her finish her work on time. Levy dresses elegantly to meet with Gajeel, but she finds that he has already gone home, leaving only Jet and Droy to celebrate her birthday.

Later, while she returns to Fairy Hills, Levy furiously protests about Gajeel and how she even bought a new dress for the occasion, but is more her disappointment. Once in her room, Levy is surprised to find Gajeel there. He reminds her that he had told her that he would be waiting for her in her room, and suddenly he turns out the lights while opening his shirt.

Levy misunderstands him and she gets very nervous, but when he turns on the lights again, she sees Gajeel dressed in a suit and a cake-shaped hat with candles. He starts to playing a guitar and sings a birthday song for her, while Levy smiles and tells he's so stupid.

Fairies' Training Camp
Some of the Fairy Tail members decided to train on the beach for the Grand Magic Games. Even though purpose of coming there is to train for the Grand Magic Games, Erza tells everyone that they will spend the first day having some fun. Lucy, Wendy and Levy are playing with a beach ball while Happy and Carla are swimming around. Lucy then notices that not all of the members of the Tenrou Team are at the beach. Then Levy said Mira and her team went training on the mountains, the Raijinshuu went training far away, then Gajeel and Lily somewhere secret but Levy wanted to go with them. Lucy then teases Levy when she says that she wanted to go with Gajeel.

The Exciting Ryuzetsu Land
On the third night of the Grand Magic Games, Levy is the one to suggest that the guild take a beak at the popular resort known as Ryuzetsu Land, to which the agreement is unanimous. Upon arriving, Levy hears Happy telling Carla and Lily he wants to visit the aquarium. Levy tells Gajeel that she wants to see it too, but Gajeel angrily replies that he has no place there, which results in an awkward moment between the two. Gajeel tags along anyway, and puts his head inside a hole that makes him look like he has the body of a fish, much to the amusement of Levy and Carla.

Later, Gajeel admires the fish in the aquarium at first, but acts indifferent when Levy looks amazed by the spectacle until Happy, having overheard the conversation of the workers, volunteers to assist them in feeding the fish by taking part in a show of the aquarium. Gajeel immediately regrets it once the task begins, despite Levy teasing him about secretly enjoying it. Although he fears that Happy will eat all the fish, ironically, some bigger and more aggressive ones appear and try to eat the Exceeds instead. After trying to get away from the fish seems futile, Gajeel tells Levy to stand back and attacks the fish one by one, knocking them down. However, this triggers the "boss" of the aquarium to appear, which is a fish much bigger than the others, which sucks all the Fairy Tail Mages into a vortex and swallows them.

Some time later, Gajeel and Levy somehow escape, but soon after Natsu comes flying towards their direction, riding the sign of the Love Love Slide, which sends them both on the attraction together. As she is holding onto Gajeel, Levy notes that things have gone out of hand. As she asks Gajeel how he feels, he protectively tells Levy to stay in his arms and then makes his grip stronger, which Levy misinterprets, as he is in fact only trying to hold onto something because he is motion sick and wants to puke.

Soon, the actions of Lyon and Gray cause the entire resort to be frozen in ice, which Natsu angrily takes care of by destroying it along with the entire park, leaving Gajeel unconscious on top of Levy with the others.

Fairies' Penalty Game
Everything happens as in the Omake Chapter, with some additional scenes. After a competition was made between the two Fairy Tail teams, Gajeel tells Laxus he better win for them. Having won the game, Gajeel claims Lucy as his prize and made her, along with Levy, put on bunny suits as they dance by him while he sings and plays the guitar. Levy begins to question how she got herself into that situation. Levy's eyes stray down to Lucy's bosom, gandering at its buoyancy and is astonished at the contrast between herself and Lucy. After stating how it feels like she is the one who is actually being punished, she runs off in tears, abandoning Gajeel's performance, with Gajeel chasing after her.

In an alley, Gajeel track down Levy who is fussed that he continued to follow her, wondering why she ran off. She mentions that she didn't want him to judge her bust size in her costume, something Gajeel doesn't care about. Some young men then arrive to begin to fawn over Levy, leading to Gajeel to pick her up and to tell the ones to go away; Levy taking notice of what he did but gets flustered when he makes a subtle comment upon carrying her.

Fairies' Christmas
The Fairy Tail guild helps around the town of Magnolia in preparation for Christmas. While most members help clean up the Kardia Cathedral, a discussion between Natsu and Gray, along with Happy's mischievous actions, leads to the church's bell being dislodged and breaking. But with the quick teamwork of each other, the bell is eventually restored in a better fashion; Gajeel and Levy combine his Iron Dragon Slayer Magic and her Solid Script to repair the bell´s yoke.

During the Christmas party in Lucy's apartment, they are both sitting together. Gajeel worries about Levy when she gets drunk along with the rest of the girls, and she slowly brings her face closer to his.Gajeel gets nervous and closes his eyes, only to be surprised when Levy starts to laugh hysterically and pull his hair.

When everyone plays the game of Master of the Guild, Levy is shocked when Gajeel strips naked at Erza's order, to the point of being sober again, and she is worried that Erza will order her to do the same. Gajeel is equally surprised (and blushing) when Erza orders Levy to take off her underwear and throw it out the window.
