Mirajane's POV

It was an unusually quiet day at the guild. The Master was out today for a meeting with the council. Natsu and Happy went with Lucy on a mission outside Magnolia two days ago. Erza decided to go alone on an S-class mission this time because she needed to pay her (insane) rent. Elfman and Lisanna went on a monster subduing mission together, to 'make her more manly' (personally I think she went because laxus was last heard from that area)! I have to run the bar because Kinana took a few days of absence, and what will they do without anybody serving the bar? Most likely Cana will have a hay day.

"GAJEEL!" Levy screeched as she pouted and squirmed. Gajeel had picked her up by the scrub of her neck. As usual the exceed to his time to leave and join me at the bar.

"And how is the loving couple today Lilly?" I inquire watching the two most opposite people trying to win an argument over what seemed to be about a book. Gajeel most likely trying to rid himself from boredom while levy just wanting some peace and quiet.

"Same as always, although Levy seems to be teaching Gajeel about manners and is being very irritated as of lately." He began to feed on the fish I slipped in front of him.

"Her parents and brother must be coming to visit." I giggled at the thought.

"What are they like?"

"A bit protective and some high standards." Both the exceed and I couldn't help but laugh but soon his face was replaced with concern. I sighed knowing full well what his thoughts were.

"… You're thinking they'll hate him." I chimed in after a short silence.

"I'm afraid so" The exceed sighed and looked back at the couple.

The dispute was over and Levy was seated in Gajeel's lap. She continued to read her book while rested up against his chest. Normally he'd be more cautious of his affections but seeing that everyone was outside or out, he relaxed a little.

"I better go, you have another uh…. Customer." I looked over to see Fried coming my way. I ran fingers through my hair, straightening and unkempt locks.

"Hey fried, I uhh… what can I get you?" I asked nervously.

"Nothing just came to see you." He smiled. I leaned against the counter and rested my chin on the palm my hand.


Gajeel's POV

Once the day was over with I was carrying shrimp back to her place at fairy hills. She passed out reading her stupid love novel again. We were half way to fairy hills when she woke up and demanded I put her down.

"What the hell is wrong bookworm?" I complained, not wanting this conversation to break out into a fight.

"I don't know" I could tell she was holding back.

"Wanna tell me what's fucking with you, besides me" I teased. Her attitude changed from annoyance to anger. She hit me with her bag

"My family is coming to visit, I don't know if they'll like you or not, BAKA! I havnt told them about us. But... I kinda told them thaat a guy that looks like you crucified me to a tree." I understood now

"Well we will just have to convince them that I'm not that person plus what isn't there to like about me?" I grinned.

"Where should I start?" She crossed her arms and raised a brow.

"Gihihi… I'll see you tomorrow squirt" She stretched her arms out to kiss me.

I picked her up and pressed my lips to hers. Her legs wrapped around my waist and my arms protecting her from a fall.

We stood like this for what felt like hours. "Wanna stay with me tonight" she whispered in my ear. I probably had some stupid face on because she pouted and blushed looking away from me.

"Hell yeah levy" She sighed and rolled her eyes at me. "Oh now you use my name"

"Don't be like that. " I knew she'd start to tease.

"Well stop running dirty thoughts through your iron skull, and don't lie, I know how you think." Damn her.

"Fine so about me meeting your folks." With that we walked into fairy hills. Slipping by Titania and into levy's private library she calls her room.
