Thank you to the wonderful Miketsukami-kun here on FF that gave me the Idea to make this a oneshot collection of the cute things Gajeel, Levy, and maybe even Lily do in their personal time.
Without further ado, this is oneshot 2 of too cute!
Replacing
When Gajeel and Lily returned home from their most recent quest, they were unsurprised to find the blue haired book worm sprawled out on the couch reading. The dust cover of the book, something that never left any book if Levy had anything to say about it, was black and unadorned, no title to be found.
Gajeel noted the blank cover absently, too busy munching on a few palm sized iron snacks left on the counter beside a bowl of sliced kiwi. He did however notice the squeak as the iron emitted a loud ripping sound from the assault of his teeth. This, also, was not unusual, as she often got lost in her books.
The burning red face, however, that was new. He raised a studded eyebrow and the blush deepened to an almost maroon color as she snapped the book shut.
"Whatcha reading, Shrimp?" He asked, striding towards her.
"Nothing!" she squeaked, holding the book behind her back. Lily, the sneaky devil that he is, managed to pry the dust cover off the book without her noticing. Upon reading the title his eyes widened and his aera suddenly ended and he hit the floor.
Upon seeing the reaction of his cat, Gajeel pried the book from her hands and read the title, then opened it up. Meanwhile, Levy was climbing up his chest in an attempt to reach the book before he could read anything. He chuckled, flipping to the first page while she continued her futile attempts at stopping him.
"What's with the racy novel, Shrimp? Miss me mu-" He choked as he saw scribbles on the page, Levy never wrote in her books. Upon closer examination it appeared she had scribbled out a name and replaced it with… his.
She dropped, head hanging low. His eyebrows rose nearly into his hairline as he flipped through the book, his and her name replacing what was obviously the two main protagonists.
"I may have this bad habit of… replacing things in books." she mumbled, the top of her shoes scraping against the floor.
"Well, if you were imagining it anyway," She looked up at his roguish grin. "Let's try page 212."
She turned maroon again and laughed as he swept her out of the room.
Simple inspiration, hope you enjoyed, and thanks again Miketsukami-kun for the idea!
