A/N: Hello little starfishes~ Today, I bring you guys some cute fluffy feels! It's really weird though how I came up with this because I thought of it after facing a terrifying moment. Some may say I'm a baby for freaking out over such a trivial thing, but to me it was SCARY AS F...uh...FUDGE! (idk) Anyways, if you would like to laugh at my stupid antics or join me as I cower in paranoiac fear, my frightening tale will be at the A/N at the bottom... Until then, Please Enjoy!
Gajeel's POV
Ughhh, why do I always get caught up in this idiotic crap? Currently I've been pacing around this stupid crowd for what seems like hours, and they are beginning to accumulate by the second. "UGHHHHH! What is with this crap!?"
3 HOURS BEFORE:
Levy's POV
"Hmmm hmmm hmmm.~" I was happily humming to myself because today seemed like a perfect day to do something... Hmm, what should I do? As much as I love reading, I don't wanna waste the day away by reading... Lu-chan is preparing for a job... with Natsu! Alone! Hehehe, I knew they were meant to be. Ahh, if only Lu-chan wasn't so dense! Speaking of that... Maybe I should go on a job with Gajeel! Wait! It's not because I like him or anything... He just needs some Vitamin D! Furthermore, I'm just being a good nakama! Yup!~ I quickly head towards the guild to find Gajeel.
Gajeel's POV
I was sitting peacefully in the dark corner of the bar, silently munching on some scrap metal I found. There was a little bit of rust on some of them, but it adds to the flavor, so I didn't really give a crap about it. My back was turned to the annoyingly loud people whom I started to begin calling my "family". However, my keen dragon hearing alerted me for any incoming tables, chairs, or beer barrels -compliments from Cana-. Suddenly, my apt hearing caught a different kind of sound. At first, I dismissed it, thinking it was that stupid Salamander trying to woo Bunny Girl. Yeah, he told me he that he liked Bunny Girl when the guys had a drinking contest. Gihi, he was so drunk. Ahh, good times. But this sound wasn't the Salamander's loud footsteps. Instead I heard the soft, yet quick, taps of sandals scurrying closely toward my direction. I slightly turned my head to see what it could be, and to my surprise, it was the Shrimp coming towards me with a huge smile on her face... This isn't gonna be good.
Levy's POV
I rushed to the guild and cordially greeted everybody. As soon as that was done, I scanned the room for Gajeel with my alert script eyes. I quickly spotted him sitting in his usual "Dark Corner". If I wasn't his nakama, I would have thought he was some weird loner dude, but Gajeel just likes his space, which I understand. Anyway, I swiftly went towards him while dodging some beer bottles and broken furniture pieces... Poor, Master, the guild bills will soon go off the charts. When I finally reached my destination, I gently wave a hello with a wide grin on my face, my excitement and giddiness obviously showing. "Hi, Gajeel, what are you doing on such a good day like this? You should spend some time outside with the living once in a while, don't you think?"
Gajeel's POV
"Tch, why do I have to spend a day outside with stupid, sweaty, rude brats when I can sit here and enjoy my food?" I saw a slight flash of hurt in Levy's eyes, and I immediately regretted my harsh choice of words. Baka! Ugh, WHY can I never come up with softer words! I'm just not as literal or eloquent as she is. "Look, uh... Shrimp... I mean, Levy... Uh, what I meant to say was that, uh... I don't wanna just go outside and hang around with bunch of people I don't really know..."
Levy's POV
His harsh words were normal to me by now, but his words really brought down my excitement. But after seeing how he tried to fix his slip-up for me really made my heart soar. I giggled slightly at his stutters. "Hehe, it's okay, Gajeel, I understand... But would you mind going with someone you do know? For instance, joining me on a job today?" I couldn't continue further and my courage completely vanished after letting the words come out of my mouth. I quickly looked down to hide my blush and to avoid his look of what I imagined to be shock and horror at such a sudden propose.
Gajeel's POV
Levy's sudden invitation to go on a job with her caught me off guard, but when I looked at her, she was shyly staring at the ground to avoid my gaze. I smile a little inside, seeing how cute this small fry was, and how hard she was trying. "Sure, Shrimp, I'll go." I mean, how could I say 'no'?
Levy's POV
I was joyous when I heard him say 'yes', when I was fearing so dreadfully for a negative answer. Out of pure joy and happiness, I lost my self control and reached up on my toes to hug the buff metalhead's mid-torso and showed him the biggest smile I had smiled.
Gajeel's POV
The word shock could barely describe how I felt when Levy's petite arms gently wrapped around my mid-torso, since she couldn't reach any higher. As I looked down at her, she had the face of a little child who had just received a big lollipop. My look of surprise shifted into a gentle smile, realizing how small and fragile she was, compared to my rugged and masculine body. (A/N: WHAT!? GAJEEL SMILED! IS THE WORLD ENDING!?)
Levy's POV
After realizing my impulsive actions, I quickly retreated my body a good 3 feet away, and looked intently at the floorboards trying to hide my tomato-colored blush.
Gajeel's POV
She apparently realized what she did and withdrew herself from me faster than humanly possible. I "Gihi'd" at her cute antics.
Levy's POV
Trying to recover myself, I stuttered out, "Um.. G-gajeel... I-I'll... M-meet you at the center of Magnolia Town at 6! D-don't be late!"
Gajeel's POV
"Gihi, looks like an Exceed's got your tongue, Shrimp."
Levy's POV
"B-baka! Don't say such s-stupid things! I'm leaving!" I stomp away, but quickly run back and shove the flyer that Mirajane gave me, and hurry out the guild doors.
Gajeel's POV
I look down at the job and gaze at the beautiful scenic picture of the moon's reflection on a lake. In bold, colorful letters underneath, it reads, 'Don't miss out on tonight's Moon Festival, where your greatest wish will come true under the moonlight...' "Tch, typical, cliché advertisement slogans." After skimming over the request, the job seemed more like a simple, festive event than an adventurous, crime fighting job-the ones I usually take-,but I didn't really care since I didn't need the jewels. I check the time and where the festival starts to confirm with the info Levy told me, and I toss the paper behind me into my forgotten pile of metal scraps.
A/N: So here's the embarrassing story... I was finishing up some homework, but when I looked at the time, it was 1 AM! I then remembered that Soul Eater is showing on Cartoon Network (more specifically Toonami) at this time, so I quietly went downstairs to watch it. But as I was watching it and having a good time, a spider reared its hideous head into my line of vision. I freaked out for a second and quickly turned off the tv and ran as fast as I possible could, thinking that the size of the spider wasn't actually 1 cm tall, but a 50 foot giant coming for me! When I reached my room, I tried to calm down by playing some songs on my phone, and suddenly a beautiful Gale moment appeared! Soo yeahhh, I'm very weird... Oh well! Please R&R and enjoy the story!~ Love, Julie.
