Levy
Taking a deep breathe I walked into the guild. Today was going to be the day. I was going to tell Gajeel about my feelings for him. From the entrance, I could see Gajeel sitting at the bar munching on a piece of iron as usual. Finding the courage, I started walking towards him. He must have sensed my presence because he turned to look straight at me.
"Levy." He swallowed the last bit of iron he was chewing on.
"Gajeel…Can I…talk..to….you…for a moment?"
"Go for it, Shimp."
"I…You see….I…" I couldn't seem to get the words out.
"Shimp, your face is all red. Not that I care…" I winced at his words.
"I…I…LOVE YOU GAJEEL!" I said, more like screamed at him. "Do you….love me too? Gajeel remained silent for a long time. I wasn't sure if he was just stunned or just didn't feel the same.
"Listen Levy. Sure, we had some moments together and everything but I don't feel the same way about you." Getting up from his seat at the bar, he patted my head and walked out of the guild. I could only stand there and watch him walk away. It wasn't until the doors had completely closed behind him, that I started crying.
Gajeel
Walking away from Levy was the most difficult thing to do. I refuse to let myself be with her especially after all the terrible things I did to her and the guild without remorse. I still deserved punishment, and this was going to be the worst of it all. I just left the guild in a hurry, not knowing where I was going to go. I just needed to get out of there, it was hard enough to reject her and I didn't want to see the look on her face. With nowhere to go, I decided to head to the park. Sitting under a tree I started to sort out my thoughts about Levy.
"Levy…It's going to be okay." It sounded like Lucy. I could also hear someone crying. A peeked around the tree to see who was on the other side. I was right it was Lucy and Levy.
"He doesn't love me Lu-chan. Why would he…I am just a small weakling…" I wanted to tell her how that wasn't true. I just wanted to hold her and stop her tears, Just because I was being punished doesn't mean she has to be too.
"You're not weak Levy….Maybe he just didn't know what to say. How about this, give it ten days before you ask him again."
"Lu-chan…..I don't know if I can handle being rejected again…"
"What if he really does love you though?" she paused. "Come on, it's only ten days." Reluctantly, levy sighed.
"Alright. I'll give it ten days." It sounded like they got up to leave. As soon as I was sure they both had left I gave a loud sigh.
"These next ten days should be interesting."
