So I was thinking of writing a fanfic about Gajeel walking Levy home. But then I said 'why don't we make things a little more interesting?' So here we have Gajeel's and levy's thoughts on their way to Fairy Hills. But do they walk together? I don't think so… Enjoy :)

Gajeel's POV

She doesn't know I follow her.

Well, not exactly follow her that makes me sound like a stalker. More like make sure she gets home safe. She usually gets carried away by a book and forgets about time. Then who must take her to Fairy Hills? Me. Her two puppies are too much of a cowards to accompany her during the night. Furthermore, they both leave the guild early at night.

I'm one of the late night stayers, along with Shrimp, Lily, the drunk woman and the demon. As soon as Shrimp closes her book and heads out, Mira nods at me to go after her not that I wouldn't do it by my own. What does that freaking demon know?

I don't walk close to her. I try to walk silently many meters behind, since my dragon senses allow me to see perfectly in the dark and hear even the smallest sound. Besides I don't want her to think that I believe she is incapable of protecting herself or that she's weak. I feel like I must do it. Like it's a program implanted in my brain that makes me want to keep her safe. But…it's not my brain that hurts, it's my heart. How can this iron heart beat so fast every time that she's close? Lily and the demon ask if I feel something more about Levy. How the hell should I know?! What I have towards her is totally new to me and I don't know how to handle it.

Lily says I care about her. And 'duh' I say back. Of course I do, I don't want her to be hurt or anything. But…why? Why do I care? Lily says I fell in love with her. But…what is love? (Baby don't hurt me…*ahem* sorry couldn't contain myself.) Lily says love is when you want to be with someone all the time. Love is when you're with that particular person, you feel the happiest man in the world. Love is when you want to keep your loved one safe and when they're happy, then that makes you happy as well. All these things…are what I feel about Shrimp.

I am in love with her. I love Levy.

And there's nothing to be ashamed of. I know others may say I've become soft, but I don't give a shit! The only thing I care about is her and only her. Levy Mcgarden. Oh, how much I love to say her name, either it is Levy or Shrimp or Shorty or Bookworm or…my love. I want to make her mine, I want her to be my mate.

But there are a lot of reasons why I shouldn't be her mate. I mean, who would want to be the mate of the very person that nearly beat you and your friends to death and then left them hanging from a fucking tree? I know she has forgiven me and moved on. She made huge steps to get close to me, which according to Lily, proves that she also cares about me.

I just look at her in the dark. The way she walks and looks at the starry night. Why did my heart start racing again? Damn she's beautiful. She makes me feel like I'm a good person, but that's incorrect. I want to keep her close and stay like this forever. Ts. That does make me sound like a selfish bastard!

'She heard me.' I thought as I saw her turning to my direction. I hurry and hide in the alley next to me. She didn't stop for long and kept walking. I leaned on the wall with my back and started lowering my knees. I hide my face in my hands and I whisper to myself "I'm such an idiot". Deep down I kinda wanted her to see me, so that I wouldn't have any other choice but to tell her why I'm here. To tell her how I feel. I don't want to feel this burning sensation in my chest any more. I want to get on top of the guild and shout 'I love you, Levy' for everyone to hear. But I'm scarred of one thing. Rejection. What if she doesn't feel the same and I lose what we already have? I don't want to risk losing her completely.

I inhaled deeply and stood up. I exited the alley and noticed we already reached Fairy Hills. I saw her standing at the door of the building. Now I have to wait until I see the lights of her room open and then I'll go my way. Because this is what I am to her. Her silent guardian.

I'm done with Gajeel's point of view. I thought that I would make a chapter for both of them but this one took longer than expected. Levy's POV coming soon.
