She was sleeping, with her face in her book under the shade of her favorite tree. Gajeel was watching her to protect her 'Not 'cause I like her or anything, right?' he thought to himself, 'But rather because if I don't protect her, no one will trust me... Okay maybe I like her a little, but that's not the point' He continued to watch her from afar until she had woken up in the evening and walked back to the guild hall for dinner. Gajeel waited until she was gone and went back home.
Back at the guild hall, "So Levy, did you see him watching you?" Mira asked teasingly. Levy, with her face buried in her book, only shook her head. Then she realized who Mira was talking about and her face turned red.
"He was there, watching me sleep! Who does he think he is? He hurt me and my friends, he hurt the guild, and I will never forgive him!" Levy protested on and on about how creepy Gajeel actually was. She stomped her way out of the guild hall and went back home in embarrassment.
Mira looked towards Lucy who had just walked in after Levy stormed out. Lucy, noticing Levy leaving with a frown, asked, "Is something wrong, Mira? Why is Levy upset?" She looked concerned for her best friend's wellbeing.
"Well, as a matter of fact, she is most likely just got embarrassed from my teasing. I attempted to apologize, but she stormed out before I could utter another word. I'm truly sorry, Lucy" Mira was on the verge of crying for what she had done, but Lucy patted her on the back forgivingly. "Were you planning to speak with her?" she asked while sobbing and sniffling behind the counter.
"Well yes," claimed Lucy, "but it seems like she's got a couple of things to work out, like the way she feels about Gajeel." The two of them giggled as they thought about the many differences between them. Levy was petite, cute and a bookworm, whereas Gajeel was muscular, tall, and no one knows if he's ever held a book in his life.
"None the less, they would look so cute together!" exclaimed Mira.
"You got that right!" Lucy responded.
Levy was standing at her doorway, unlocked the door and entered her room. She sat on her bed and thought about Gajeel. 'He's such a creep. Standing by a bush watching a defenseless girl sleep… wait was he just trying to protect me? Yeah that has to be it.' She told herself. She was in the bath reading a book when she heard a knock on the door. 'Is that him?! What if it is him, what do I do or say if I let him in?' She got out of the bath and put on her bright orange robe that went down to her knees.
As the door opened, she saw black steel boots. 'I knew it would be him' she thought. When she looked up to his face, he was blushing. She'd wondered why then realized she was bare except for that tight, orange robe. She was turning red in embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry I… uh… I didn't realize you… you would be bathing. I-I'll come back a-another time." Gajeel said as he turned away to conceal his, even more red, face.
'Aww… that's cute, he's apologizing… wait did I just think he's cute?! What's wrong with me?!' She shook her head to snap out of it. "It's alright, Mira told me you were watching me and you came to apologize, right?"
"Well… yeah. Mind if… I step inside?" he asked ready to be put down.
"Sure, but let me put some clothes on first. Wait outside for a little." She put on a short orange dress and a yellow-orange headband and opened the door once more. Gajeel was eyeing her; from her small feet he followed her curves and noticed how small she really was, and looked into her beautiful golden-brown eyes. She was smiling. He was blushing.
"You… your beauti— I mean… you look nice." His blush turned a deeper shade of pink. Levy allowed him to pass through the door and sit on her couch while she prepared some tea.
