A typical return to the guild
Gajeel POV
Usually when the guilds doors open I couldn't care less, but not this time I couldn't resist looking, because as soon as the doors opened the smell of old leather, kiwi, and vanilla came rushing in, along with a sweet carefree giggle.
As soon as my crimson eyes made contact with her large, chocolate brown eyes, her face lit up, and a large smile spread across her face. At that moment I lost myself in her eyes, large almond shaped, swirling with different shades of brown, and filled to the brim with emotions; joy, amusement, a hit of curiosity like always, but what surprised me the most was the love I could see in her eyes.
I felt my cheeks starting to heat up, so I quickly nodded my head and with a grunt I looked away, towards my best friend and mission partner Lily. He had a smug and knowing smirk covering his damn face.
"What are you so happy about you damn cat"? I growled, and gave him a piercing stare, but the guy doesn't even flinch, in fact, his smirk turns to a grin.
"Oh nothing Gajeel, I was just wondering how long you were going to stare at Levy today that's all" He replies with a knowing attitude just before he flies off to the other exceeds.
"Damn cat" I look back towards the bar where Levy was heading, but she's no longer there, I huff in announce before going back to eating my iron.
"Gajeel, how are you today?" I look up in surprise, how did Levy get so close to me without me noticing.
Again I lost myself in her eyes, luckily, this time, she turned to the side to see a fight about to begin, so she doesn't notice me staring. She's wearing her usual orange dress that ends just above her knees, and her short wild blue hair is being held back by her usual orange headband. Not surprisingly in her hands was a large ancient tome written in some dead language, that without a doubt she could read and understand within a day or two.
My blood started to boil with rage when I saw a bloody bandage covering half her left arm. Must of happened on the mission she just came back from. But why didn't those damn lap dogs she calls friends protect her? "Gajeel, are you okay?" just then Levy snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah Shrimp"
"Don't call me that, I'm not that short" she said with a huff, causing her cheeks to puff out in an adorable way.
"Gi Hi Hi, yeah you are your 16 and shorter than the kid, and she's only 12" Her cheeks puffed even more if that's even possible. "That reminds me Shrimp, you need to go see Wendy about your arm you don't want it to get affected"
Her cheeks turned scarlet red, putting Erza's hair to shame "Oh, I forgot all about my arm once I found this ancient tome, it's written in Ancient Dragon, but you're right I should see Wendy. Well then see you later" she gave a heart-warming smile before turning away towards the kid.
"See ya Shrimp" and with that, I went back to eating my iron, but I could shake the warm bubbly feeling in my stomach. Ugh, that woman is going to be the death of me one day.
