Romance - Gajeel/Levy Friendship - Levy/Pantherlily
Sunset Dreamer
The grass felt ticklish against my bare feet. The bark from the tree I was leaning against was harshly digging against my small back. I knew I should have worn a long sleeved shirt, not my usual crop top getup. The pain is forgotten though, as a large, scarred hand traces along the underside of my chin, tilting my head upwards. The piercings on his face shining in the afternoon sun threaten to blind me as I squint. Somehow this prompts the man holding my head up to lean in, taking the closing of my eyes as a sign to initiate a kiss. My small heart begins to beat faster as his red eyes stare lovingly into mine, and his face slowly creeps closer. I'm barely able to whisper Gajeel… before thick, cracked lips graze against mine. Taking a deep breath, I deepen the kiss, moulding our lips closer together. My body responds instantly to the strong hand now sliding behind to my neck, pulling me impossibly closer to him, as if I'm still too far away. Although soon enough it does feel as if I'm too far away, and the warmth from the descending sun begins to disappear. The feeling of the large hand combing my blue hair begins to fade as my subconscious awakens.
Suddenly I open my eyes in alarm at the change in location, as I am now staring sideways at a fighting Natsu and Gajeel. Raising my head from the open book I had fallen asleep on, I hastily wipe the drool from my mouth, sending death glares at the romance novel I had just been reading moments ago. I hear a deep chuckle as I turn to my right, only to face Pantherlily and discover that the laugh was directed at me.
"Have a nice dream?" The exceed teased, folding his small arms in a knowing gesture.
"I don't know what you're talking about..." How could he possibly know? I scream inside my head.
"Just be thankful that Gajeel wasn't around when you moaned his name. Although next time, try not to fall asleep in this war zone.."
With that, Pantherlily looked up at the source of the shadow now looming over us, immediately I darted my attention up to the tall man standing behind me.
"Did you just-!" Yet the question was never finished as Gajeel's body suddenly jerked towards Pantherlily and I, throwing the three of us, and a now cracked table, to the other side of the guild. Hearing grumbling curses of 'I'm gonna kill that flame-idiot', I watched from under the rubble as Gajeel proceeded to follow through with his words, effectively returning to the fight he had previously left. I wearily side glanced to Pantherlily, copying that smile of pure joy.

I just love when characters dream of themselves in situations with their crush, or even a person they least expected. Next chapter will most likely be a Natsu/Lucy romance.
