Levy stretched languidly as she stood up from her seat. A seven-hour flight was nothing to sneeze at, even if she had been happily buried in a book for most of the trip.
A jolt of adrenaline suddenly hit her as she realized where she was. She was home, for the first time in six weeks. She had enjoyed studying abroad, but… her family was here. And her best friend Lu-chan, and the little cafe called Fairy Tail where everybody hung out, and the library, and her boyfriend… it was good to be back.
She disembarked, still thinking about Gajeel. They had calls and video chats on a daily basis while she was gone, but it had been ages since she had seen him in person. He had promised to meet her here at the airport.
Levy rounded a corner on her way to the baggage claim, and stopped short. There was her boyfriend. Her wonderful, amazing Gajeel.
Holding up a giant sign with hot pink, sparkly letters that said, "NERD."
Oh, she'd really missed him.
