So I don't own Fair tail, but I do own a cat that thinks she's my slippers and insists on sleeping on my feet. Please read if you have any comments please let me know I'll take good with the bad (just don't be a dick.)
Christmas Tree.
I was looking at the Christmas trees that where all lined up, Just waiting for someone to come along and take them home with them, dress them up with twinkling lights and beautifully painted ornaments. I sighed looking at the one of the biggest ones in the lot running my gloved finger along a small leaf, brushing some of the freshly fallen snow off one of the branches. I watched the snow fall to the ground when I heard someone clear their voice behind me, I turned around to find Gajeel staring at me with his intense red eyes "Does it really take you this long to choose a tree Shrimp?"
my face went hot with a flush.
Had I really be looking at the tree that long. "I was just thinking it would be nice if I could have big tree this year to decorate, rather than the small one I always land up having to get." I watched as he arched a single eyebrow and looked at the tree "I have a lot of books not much room for big tree." He grunted in response and felt my face redden again.
He picked up the tree and carried it on his shoulder like it was nothing. "Lilly was buggin' me to get one anyway." He said as he paid the fearful man who looked just about ready to wet himself as he nervously gave Gajeel his receipt.
"let's go Shrimp, I'm no good at that festive cheer shit and your small enough to fit on the top if I can't find a star." he grinned at me as he chuckled to himself at his bad joke of me being the fairy on top of the tree.
"I'm not that short!" I shouted after him with a strained smile.
He carried on walking and shouted back. "You better hurry or your gonna get left behind." I quickly caught up to him and we walked back to his house in comfortable silence as I listened to the festive music and the hum of people passing by as I stole glances at him and just for a moment I thought he did the same.
When we had gotten to Gajeel's place he placed the tree in the corner of main room grunted and growling until he lost his patience and used his iron magic to pin the tree to his floor and I smiled to myself. "So where do we begin?" he asked me while scratching his head looking at the tree with his head tilted.
I looked around "Do you have any lights and decorations?"
"over there in those bags and boxes." He pointed to the dining table made of iron I walked over to the table and peeked into a bag. "Lilly picked most of them out so there's probably something kiwi related in there somewhere." He shrugged while he shook the tree to see if it was stable and grunted in satisfaction.
I opened the boxes and empted to bags on the table and sorted out which goes on the tree and what was for the rest of the room while Gajeel was leaning over me and I could feel his body heat close to me making me feel warm. "Here's the lights." I handed one end to him slightly touching his hand by accident. "Now we put them on the tree and keep them near the back and middle, so the light reflects of the other decorations." He nodded as we placed them on the tree sometimes bumping hands and his rough fingers brushing against mine form time to time.
After a little while we had the tree finished and had moved on to working on the walls. I was sitting on Gajeel's shoulders pining up finale trimming. Gajeel's hands where holding on to my legs gently to keep me steady and it was sending tingles all the way through me as he absent-mindedly stroked them. I shifted a little bit to push in the stubborn pin and his grip tightened on my legs.
As soon as I was done I place my hands on Gajeel's head checking my handy work was okay. "Shrimp, what are you doing?" he asked roughly.
I looked down at him to see my hands where playing with his hair and I blushed "the same thing you've been doing with my legs." A said back before I could even think about it. My face started to heat up even more as I jumped off his shoulders and made myself busy with the empty boxes and bags.
Gajeel came behind me and picked me up and place me on the table "What are you doing?" I asked as he placed himself between my legs, my heart stared to race as blushed Gajeel looked me in the eyes. "Gajeel?" I asked as he put a hand on my legs and took one of my hands he moved it towards his hair. I ran my fingers through his hair feeling the silky locks as his thumb made small circles on the tops of my thighs. My breathing hitched a little as my body began to hum. He tilled his head to me and placed his lips to mine.
End….. for now?
Not sure If I should continue this in to a full blown lemon, if you want it let me know.
