Hi guys! I'm still new at this so please be patient with me.

If it sucks leave a comment how to fix it, don't cuss me out.

Its a Lucy X Natsu/Levy X Gajeel with a few oc's thrown in.

So without further adieu, I give you Forgiven!

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL OR ITS CHARACTERS.

However the oc's are in fact mine...

Forgiven

- Lucy POV -

It was sunny, the grass was soft and the sky was clearer and brighter than its been in years... That alone should have been a warning. An omen to stay inside, to stay out of the beautiful rays streaming down from the heavens. But like a fool I brushed it aside, pushed the sinking feeling of doubt from my mind and went out anyway.

We were laughing, smiling and joking around with each other. No one was paying attention to the cars in front of us, or the one behind us. The driver of the car behind us hit our car first, suddenly gunning his engine and slamming us into the bumper of the civic in front of us. I remember my head smashing into the headrest in front of me, bouncing back off into the window. My neck made a sickening crunch, the cracking and popping of my vertebrae making me screech in agony. Searing pain shot through my back and my ribs, I felt my eyes screw shut and my vivid blonde hair catch on the seat belt cover behind me.

I watched the world slow down around me, and my blood run cold as my friends got their own injuries. I saw my best friend slump against the window after her face crashed into the headrest, her chest didn't rise or fall, she lay perfectly still. A wordless cry tore from my throat, followed by a whimper of pain as my body shifted with the car. "Miss? Miss are you stuck? Can you move?" I have to force the words out of my mouth, choking on the pain and the sobs. "I-I can't... I can't... move!"

I cried out as the door was ripped off and the seat belt jolted against my neck, earning an immediate worried glance from the firefighters. "Careful guys, she's got a neck injury. God knows what else..." I cried when my friends were removed from the car, their limp bodies telling me that they had gotten the worst of the crash. I was the only one left. My friends... they were dead. All three of them were gone... "Get her on the gurney, she's going into shock. Watch her neck! Easy, easy!"

I was limp, my body wouldn't move when I ordered it to. Not that I really cared, I had no interest in living anymore. I hurt too much.. How can I live when my world is destroyed? How can I go on living when my best friends are dead? Why should I even begin to let myself heal without them? It's not fair... "Car crash, double header. Severe neck trauma and possible broken ribs, we'll be able to see more after the scans. Get her into the O.R. and for gods sake sedate the poor girl. God knows how much pain she's in now."

I don't feel anything. No pain, no sorrow. I am numb. Lifeless. All I feel is light pressure when they insert the IV and hook me up to the heart monitor, then everything fades to black.

- Levy POV -

"All right everyone suit up, you know the drill! Claire watch your count and, if god pleases, your steps. Mind the piruette, it comes AFTER the triple axel. Levy! Your the star tonight, PLEASE for the love of god mind your Beillmann and your triple lutz. Everyone ready? Good, get out there!"

Its no wonder she was so demanding that day, it was the Final day of the International Grand Prix. Something our team only dreamt of seeing, or being a part of. Magnolia has a history of its Figure Skaters losing their competitions, but for once we actually beat everyone who we went up against. We even got into the IGP... For once we're experiencing a massive stroke of luck, she wants so badly to finally do something Magnolia can be proud of. We worked so hard to get here, and now she wants to end it with a trophy.

I sighed and pulled on my white feathered dress, the thin cloth sliding easily over my skin. I pulled on my skates and put my royal blue hair into a chignon, then put on the diamond earrings my mother gave me. When I got into the center position, I waited for the opening notes before I lifted my body into an elegant swan pose, my eyes remained closed until the lights flicked on. Then our performance began, I was soaring that night. I felt like a queen, like the world around me had melted away. I was a goddess on earth, and I made sure to show the world.

When the performance was over we all made our way to the changing rooms, but something didn't feel right. I felt hot, too hot. The ground was swaying and the room was twisting. I felt warmth collect above my lip, and when I touched the spot my hand came back slick and red with blood. I was vaguely aware of a metallic taste in my mouth, but I was more concerned about the fact that I was laying on the floor with no knowledge of how I got there. "Oh my god LEVY! Somebody call an ambulance! Hey, Levy look at me. Lev come on!"

She helps me sit up, theres blood all over my dress, I don't understand whats going on. "Bisca wha- Oh gods... SOMEBODY CALL THE FUCKING AMBULANCE! What the FUCK are you ALL DOING besides STANDING THERE?!" I can't breathe, I'm choking on my own blood. She shifts my head forward so the blood won't collect in my throat, I end up with a glob of it on my dress, the fabric quickly turning crimson. I don't understand, this was supposed to be the best night of our lives. I'm ruining it. Why is this happening to me?

The paramedics are here, I can feel their gloved hands lifting me onto the stretcher. "What happened here?" "I-I don't know! She was just.. She was fine a minute ago! And then I-I found her on the floor, she's covered in blood!" "Calm down, we'll take her in to the hospital, chances are its just a fainting spell and a bloody nose." That's good... I can... I can still... Compete... "We're losing her! She's going into Cardiac Arrest! Get the defibrillators ready!" My entire world goes black as I hear the charging of the plates, a cool rush tells me they cut away my dress and bra. I'm so immodest...

- Natsu POV -

"Catch him! He's getting away!" I chuckled, they think they can possibly win after this? This is too funny. "Hey Ice Princess! Your losin'! What did you say about kickin' my ass this time? Maybe you shoulda thought of that before stickin' Jet and Droy on my team!" I grinned at his look of complete irritation, then slammed into the icy steel of the flagpole... Not my best moment. "Hey Flame-Brain! How's that so-called 360 vision of yours working?" I growled at him and snapped my teeth warningly, a habit I picked up from my old man.

He chuckled at me and held out a hand to help me up, that smirk on his face instantly made me smile. We may have our ups and downs, but he'll always be my brother. "C'mon tabasco dick, we've gotta go see Igneel and gramps. They want us to go take a look at Magnolia General... Apparently he's gonna buy it and remodel it. 'Bout time too, its been forever since place has been upgraded." The hospital? Why would gramps remodel it after all these years? "Alright well lets go."

It took us an hour to walk the six blocks to Magnolia General, but we didn't mind. The place looked old, kinda run-down. But the steel support beams keep it up, so no one has ever had a problem going in and out, no one has ever worried about it collapsing. I groaned and walked through the doors, the smell of bleach and anesthetics assaulting my nostrils the moment they opened. God I hate hospitals... As I walked around I caught a strange scent, the smell of vanilla and honey, with a pinch of cinnamon and apple. It was so different from the acrid stench of the hospital, I almost stopped mid-stride. It was laid out in a trail, like arrows on the ground, leading me to the source.

I found myself following it around the hospital like a zombie, I couldn't stop myself. I found a room in the ICU Wing that was absolutely saturated in it, the sign on the door read "Lucy H." Lucy? What a cute name... I wonder if she's as beautiful as her name... I opened the door, it was like one of those corny love-story movies. My entire world stopped, it was like gravity. My entire center shifted. It was like the earth no longer had anything to do with me being here, it was her. Golden hair the color of sunlight fell in waves down her back, making her creamy tanned skin stand out against the beauty of her hair.

She turned her head to look at me, and I watched her warm chocolate eyes widen slightly, an electric shock going through us. Cute ruby-heart earrings hung from her ears, and a heart-shaped locket hung around her dainty neck. "Who are you?" It was musical, like the sound of birds chirping. I love her. Just looking at her makes me fall deeper and deeper in love with her. Aside from the casts on her neck and her arms, she looked breathtaking. But she was also glowing, a gold shimmering light seemed to emanate from her. Like she wasn't from earth.

"Hey! It's not polite to stare you know!" "Eh? Oh sorry, your just... radiant..." "Huh? What do you mean?" I chuckled, she was so feisty for someone committed to the ICU Wing. I opened my mouth to explain but the person behind me cleared their throat, getting our attention. "Sorry to interrupt ma'am, but the test results are back... It would be better to hear this in private." "O-Oh... Ok. Sorry- Oh, I never got your name.." "No, I just forgot to give it. My bad. I'm Natsu, Natsu Dragneel. And your Lucy right?" She gave me a small half-smile and nodded, for someone stuck in this dreary place, she sure smiles like she's home.

I waved and walked back through the halls in a daze, my mind reeling. Gramps had to get this place. He just HAD to get this hospital and help her. I got near the entrance and nodded to Gray, the raven-haired beauty he was talking too waved at me and gave him a slip of paper which presumably held her number, he smirked and joined me on the street. Time to go see Gramps.

- Gajeel POV -

"Will the defendant please stand." I felt my legs move beneath me, lifting me out of my seat. This is it, I don't mind goin' to jail, but I'd rather stay out here. Where I can see the sky. "Has the jury reached a verdict?" "Yes your honor, Case 9786, People vs. Gajeel Redfox. For the charges of attempted robbery in the first degree, we find the defendant guilty. For the charges of murder in the second degree, we find the defendant not guilty." I can't believe it... I never meant to take the guy's life, if the bullet hadn't ricochet off that pipe... He woulda lived. I can't believe they knew I never meant to do it.

"Very well, Mr. Redfox, I hereby sentence you to ninety days community service at the local hospital. Magnolia General will be getting a phone call and will expect you on the fifteenth, but I warn you. The next time I see you in my courtroom, I WILL send you to prison. This is your last strike Gajeel, make it count. Do something with your life, committing crime after crime will get you no where but a concrete cell. I do not like seeing a young man with so much potential, waste his life on petty whims."

I stood there in shock, I've never heard of a judge praise someone while condemning them. Its strange. But then again, I am a public menace, maybe he's just getting tired of seeing me on the stand for yet another crime. Huh, who knew someone like him would actually give two shits about someone like me.. I grumbled a thank you and walked down the hall, the heavy boots I wore making it sound like I was stomping.

I glared at the throngs of reporters, making them back off and quiet immediately. I hate people, and working at the hospital is going to suck... The smell of sickness and death, not to mention the blasted chemicals... Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk ya know? Friday rolled around and I found myself standing in front of the janitors office of MG, the cleaning outfit I wore felt strange and starchy against my skin. "So, your the new recruit eh? When Mackie called me and said he had a man who needed a new start, I told him he was bonkers. But then again, I've never been one to tell my old friend no... So, lets hop to it!"

The janitor was old and small, his head came up to my rib cage. How's someone as tiny and frail as him been doin' everything 'round here? He's gotta have an assistant or somethin', maybe a co-worker who handles all the hard stuff. "Well then Mr. Redfox, we'll be doing basic cleaning on the main Hospital wing today. Can you grab that big ol' box over there? Its got all the cleaning supplies in it." I grunted and picked it up, nearly falling over when the full weight of it hit me.

Good god, what the fuck does this guy use?! This thing weights more than a ton, a hell of a lot more than I do! "Jesus christ old man... What the hell do you use? I know this ain't just disinfectant and bleach..." The man chuckled and nodded, carrying his own box down the halls. "Its got a few bottles of disinfectant and bleach yes, but its also got sulfuric acid in it. The acid is what makes it heavy." That makes sense I guess... We made it to the main hospital wing, where everyone comes and goes. Three smells stood out, two that were stronger than the other. One smelled of vanilla and ash, the other... Orange blossoms and coconut, with a hint of kiwi perfume.

I like that smell... Its soft and subtle, almost lost under the stench of the hospital. I want to find out who it belongs to, who has the exact smell that always seems to attract me. "You seem distracted there big guy... Whats on your brain?" I whipped around and looked at him, I had stopped in the middle of the hallway after I smelled that scent. "You smell that? It seems... Out of place." "Oh the orange and vanilla? This is the new patient hall, most of the smells have faded but these ones are from the two newbies. Lucy Heartfilia and Levy McGarden." Levy huh?...

Thank you for reading! Let me know what needs fixing and what doesn't please!

Please refrain from charring my skin off with your flames... I'm a newbie...

Any who, TOODLES! ^_^
