"I love you a lot, but please stop trying to cook me dinner, you suck."

Gajevy

Gajeel had no idea what he was going to do. He was pretty sure that he was going to die by the end of this week, Levy was going to kill him any day now. In her defense, she was only doing it out of love…okay, maybe we need a little bit of a back-story.

About 5 days ago Levy and Gajeel decided that they should go ahead and move in together, it only made sense. If they moved into an apartment together it would make leaving for mission easier, they wouldn't have to bring an overnight bag visiting each other, and Levy would have more room for all of her books.

Now back to the matter at hand, ever since the couple moved into the apartment together Levy has made it her mission to make dinner for the two of them (plus Lily from time to time) every night they were both home. Now at first Gajeel thought that this would be a great idea, there was only one issue, Levy's cooking was awful. She burned almost everything, and if it wasn't burnt then it was too salty or bone dry.

Now normally Gajeel wouldn't have a problem telling someone what he really thought of something, it was one of his best qualities, but this wasn't just a normal person at the guild, this was his girlfriend and best friend (right after Levy of course), but he knew that he wouldn't be able to take even one more dinner with her. Gajeel was going to do it today; if he didn't do it today it was going to be a lifetime of hiding and throwing away food.

"Gajeel! I'm getting ready to start dinner, what do you want?" Levy called from the kitchen. Gajeel's body tensed up and his heart began to race, it was now or never.

"Hey, Shrimp, will you come in here for a sec?" Gajeel yelled back at the girl. Levy came walking into the living room with almost a hop in her step; that was a sign that she was really happy. Oh god, this was going to be a lot harder then Gajeel had originally thought.

"What is it Gajeel?" she asked looking up at him with her big beautiful brown eyes. Gajeel knew he that if he even had the slightest chance of telling her how he felt he was going to have to stay looking away from her.

"Listen, Lev, I gotta tell you something…" the taller man started, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well out with it, it's already 5:00 and I would like to get dinner out by 6:00 at the latest!" Levy told him placing her hands on her hips. Gajeel cleared his throat, almost out of nervousness. He could feel his heart beat starting to speed up again and he was starting to sweat. How could he just tell the woman he loved that her cooking was awful? She loved doing it so much and she was always so happy when she called him and Lily in for dinner. He knew he was going to have to be very careful with his wording

"Lev, I love you a lot, but please stop trying to cook me dinner, you suck." Well, that wasn't right at all. Gajeel stared down at the smaller girl, watching her eyes grow bigger with what he could only assume was shock. He was so fucked.

"Stupid Gajeel!" Levy yelled and kicked him in his shin. Gajeel grabbed it and slumped over in pain.

"Okay, I deserved that." Levy was now staring down at him with an annoyed look on her face.

"You sure are right about that! Why couldn't you have said that nicer?" She asked tapping her foot on the ground.

"Well, to be fair I did say 'I love you' at the start of it!" Gajeel laughed hoping that would lighten the mood even if it were just a little. It didn't.

"Yeah you did but you still just told me that it suck!" Levy yelled getting up into his face.

"I didn't say that you sucked! All I said was that your cooking sucked!" Gajeel said pressing his forehead up against hers. Levy's eyebrow twitched a little as she straightened her back to stand up straight.

"Well…if it was really that bad then why didn't you just tell me the first time that I cooked dinner for you?" Levy asked

"I didn't want to hurt your feelings, Lev. You were always so happy when you made dinner and I didn't want to bring you down." Gajeel told her standing back up to meet her gaze. Levy sighed a little but then gave him a smile.

"Well, I guess you will just have to show me how to cook the right way." She turned her back and started walking back into the kitchen. "Come on! Unless you want another burnt salty meal!" Gajeel laughed a little and started walking back into the kitchen with her.

"We can't have that now can we?"
