Things you said at 1 am
Levy woke up with a start. She looked around panicking trying to figure you where she was. After calming down enough to understand that she was still in her and Gajeel's apartment was she able to turn and look at the clock on their nightstand
"1 am," she said out loud to more or less herself. She moaned and fell back onto her pillow. She stared up at the ceiling thinking of the dream that she had. "I can't believe it happened again." She whimpered
"What happened again?" she heard the deep voice next to her ask. She jumped and sat up, taking a deep breathe she looked over to her boyfriend who was laying down next to her "Did I scare ya shrimp?" he asked with a little smile on his face. Oh how Levy loved that smile, his laugh, the way that his eyes light up when she smile back, Levy loved everything about this man. "So…ya gonna tell me what happened? Or do I have to tickle it out of ya again?" he laughed and Levy sighed
"I had a bad dream." She said pulling her knees to her chest
"What about?" Gajeel asked sitting up and put his arm behind Levy's back
"I don't want to bother you with it." She said resting her head on the tops of her knees. Gajeel slide himself so that he was behind Levy, wrapping both of his arms around the small girl's body and pulling her back so that she could lay against his chest
"You know you could never bother me Levy." He said pulling her even closer to him. Levy bite her lip but then decided to talk.
"It starts out where we are all back at the Grande Magic Games," Levy starts "and you are fighting Rouge." Gajeel stays silent as he starts the scratch Levy's head. Levy moved her head so that she could get his hand to scratch harder. God she loved she he did this. "but this time the fight-" she stopped, her breathe catching in her throut "In the fight in my dream you didn't win." She was slilent for what seemed like horrors but really was only a couple of seconds "This time you died. Rouge killed you before you could swallow his shadows." Gajeel tell by the way her body was shaking that she was starting to cry and
"And I couldn't do anything." Levy said "I was couldn't do anything, I just sit there and watch you take your last breath. I was helpless, just like I always am." Gajeel could feel like the hot tears hit his arms and hands as the fell from Levy's face. He just held her not knowing what to do. After about a minute of just listening to her cry Gajeel decied to talk.
"You are the farthest thing from helpless," he started "do you know how many times you have saved me ass on missions?" Levy shock her head "Countless numbers of times, if it wasn't for you Natsu and I couldn't have saved to town from Laxus."
"It wasn't that hard, anyone could have done it with a little reading" Levy told him trying to push it off.
"Well no one else I know could have. What about when you figured out where Tatarous was?" he asked her placing his head on top of hers
"Yeah that was kind of hard. It took forever but in the end they were just right above us." She said pulling her knees closer. Gajeel sighed at her comment
"Well believe it or not there have been a lot of times where I know me or Lilly or someone would have died if it wasn't for you." Levy smiled a little "And I'm not going any where, I'm way to good looking to die this young" Levy laughed a little, there it was, Gajeel's favorite sound in the whole world. "There ya go, that's much better." He kissed her cheek "So how many times have you had that dream?" he asked and Levy turned so that she could look him in the eyes
"Maybe…4 times now." She said softly
"4 times?!" Gajeel said in a very loud voice that would have woke anyone with in a 10 mile radius, poor Lilly "Why didn't you tell me until now?" he said just a little softer
"Well I was never planning on telling you to be honest. You just so happened to wake up when I had finished the dream." Levy said looking away from him. Gajeel groaned pulled her face back to face him.
"Don't do that again you hear me?" Levy said nothing "You don't have to be scared when I am write next to you. I made a promise to myself that I would never make you cry again, and to make sure that you were always safe. But how can I do that when I don't know if you scared or upset." Levy sighed
"Okay fine, if it happens again I promise I will tell you." She smiled up at him. He cocked that sideways smile that Levy loved so much
"That's my girl." He said leaning down to catch her lips. It was a sweet kiss, short, but sweet. Levy didn't know why but those kisses were the ones that took her breathe away the most. "Now how about we get some sleep? It is…" Gajeel turned his head "god it's 1:30 in the morning, looks like we're sleeping in tomorrow." Gajeel groaned laying back down on his side of the bed.
"But we're suppose to go meet Jet and Dory at the Guild Hall to pick a mission at 9 tomorrow morning." Levy said laying with her head on Gajeel's chest, hand laying right next to her own head.
"Well that's just a damn shame. They can wait I need my beautiful sleep." Levy laughed
"Okay fine but no later then 10 tomorrow. Any later and they will have the whole guild looking for us." Levy said as her eye lides started to feel heavy
"Gee hee, alright shrimp." Gajeel wrapped his arm around Levy and buried his nose in her hair. She always smelled like the same thing, old books, ink, whatever shampoo she was using at the time, and sometine that Gajeel could only describe as just Levy. He smiled and laughed to himself 'Damn I love the way she smells.' He spoke only to himself.
"I love you Gajeel." Levy said before closing her eyes and drifting off
"I love you too Levy."
