Levy Macgarden was in her happy place, the ancient language section of the magnolia library. This was where she came when she wanted to clear her mind and read her books, not that she minded the guild since she had grown up in it so she was well accustomed to the noise, fighting and drinking. But there are times when she just wants some peace and quiet, plus it gave her an excuse to dodge jet and droy. Not that she would ever tell them outright but their constant attempts to win her affection was just overbearing and she was tired of having to turn them down, they had grown up together so she couldn't see them as anything but brothers and choosing one would just hurt the other. But now levy had a whole new reason to run to her happy place and it came in the form of a particular dragon-slayer. Levy tried to clear her head and read but her damn brain just kept going back to him.
Gajeel Redfox had taking up permanent residence in her mind causing her constant think of him and what exactly she felt for him. She thought of when she first started falling for him back on Tenrou Island when she was captured and nearly killed, he had shown up and saved her (again) then told her to never leave his side, levy knew she had fallen for him then and there. After returning from the seven year gap she had tried to convince herself that she was just suffering from princess syndrome (when the handsome prince shows up and rescues the damsel in distress and she falls in love with him) but as the months rolled by the changes were just to evident. Firstly, she found it so much easier to strike up a conversation with him and found herself always sitting close to him whenever he was in the guild hall (Lucy pointed out that she was the only person besides panther lily he allowed to do this as he would snap at anyone else). Then there was the way he would always relent to any of her demands, no matter what she asked of him he would always oblige her though it usually came with a lot of complaining. Not to mention he had this way of always making her blush with ease whenever he teased (the other girls called it flirting) her. But most of all was how much she missed him whenever he wasn't in the guild, she'd find herself searching him out and if he wasn't there she'd get this sense of loneliness.
So here she was in her happy place contemplating these things when the most recent incident pop into her head. She had been in the guild hall reading a book when she looked up at the silent dragon-slayer across the room from her, she smiled at him but he just stared back at her, she wondered if something was wrong with him when she noticed his eyes roaming her body from head to toe, levy's whole face felt hot as a massive blush took over her from her neck to her hairline, she clamped her legs shut and instantly ripped her gaze away returning it only moments after to see him still staring but now he was looking her dead in the eyes and then he licked his lips in a slow, sensual kind of way, causing an unfamiliar but strong tingling sensation to shoot through her hips up her spine and into her head causing her face to go even redder this time. Lucy noticed her friend's condition and went over to her. "Hey levy you feeling OK," she asked levy only to hear the signature "gihi" laugh of Gajeel, she looked over to see him with a huge grin plastered on his face then he downed his drink, got up and left the guild. When Lucy looked back to her friend levy had her head down but still completely red, "ooohhhhhhh" Lucy exclaimed in a giddy way, "what's wrong, is levy-Chan alright" mirajane asked from the bar. "Oh don't worry, Gajeel was just teasing her a bit" Lucy replied back with a smile and putting air quotation marks around teasing, "luuu-chaaan" levy groaned out causing the other girls at the bar(cana and lisanna) to giggle at her plight. Aw man just remembering that had her blushing again. Levy shook her head vigorously and tried to get back to her reading but was completely halted by the sound of an unmistakable laugh.
Her head instantly shot up to see if she had heard right and she found that she did, cause standing there was none other than Gajeel Redfox. "So this is where you been hiding, huh shrimp" he said, "g-gajeel what in the world are you doing here" she stammered out but he just shrugged off her question. It didn't make sense to her at all, first this was the library, she didn't think the man knew that magnolia had one other than the one at the guild, not to mention that this was the very back of the library in the ancient text and old tomes section where only scholars and levy came, heck even the staff rarely came back here, this was her happy place yet there he was, standing there looking all tough and sexy as hell (in her mind). "Levy" he said in that gruff voice, looking serious, which was enough to snap her out of her musings. "Yes" she spoke softly, he just use her name, not shrimp or Shorty or bookworm but her name so she knew immediately that he wanted to say something important. She waited with baited breath for his next words but nothing came, he just stood there staring at her. "Um Gajeel" she said apprehensively but still nothing from the man, she was beginning to get irritated "hello, earth to Gajeel" she said but again no response came, "well when you're ready to share I'll be waiting," she said while getting up and heading to a shelf to grab herself another book.
What the hell is up with him, he just shows up here and sets my heart racing then stands there and gawks at me. Levy heaved a sigh at her predicament then turns to head back to her seat only to stop dead in her tracks because somehow without making a sound Gajeel moved directly behind her. "w-what are -" she was cut off by something she had only ever read about, without any form of warning or indication Gajeel had closed the already small distance between them, tilted her head up by her chin and planted his lips firmly on hers.
