[Fairy Tail]

Confessions

[GaLe]

This one-shot is from my one-shot book, Anime Romance, on Wattpad.

My writing got a tad bit better in this one!

"Shrimp."

Levy didn't look up. As much as she wanted to, she couldn't. She just...couldn't. Especially after what she had done.

*Flashback*

"Uh...".

Gajeel turned around, his face unreadable. Levy gulped. Lu-chan, then, pushed her forward with her elbow. Levy turned her head and glared at her.

"Uh, I've got to go now! I need, uh, to go talk to Natsu," Lu-chan grinned, nervously.

Well she did have a right to be nervous.

"So bye!" Lu-chan ditched me with Gajeel, waving goodbye.

Levy scowled, but then turned back to Gajeel, nervously.

She couldn't believe that she and Lucy had been talked into this by Mira. Mira was making them both confess to the guys they liked. Not that...Lucy and Levy hadn't already been planning that. They were going to...but a little extra prompting..ehem, annoying and scaring more like it, from Mira, and BOOM.

"Nani?" Gajeel asked. He was leaning against the tree. They were in Magnolia park.

"Ano...G-Gajeel-kun...". Levy then gave herself a mental slap. He hated it when Levy called him that.

"Nani, shrimp?"

Levy took a deep breath, then blurted out,"GAJEELIREALLYLIKEYOUAND...". Levy trailed off, not knowing what to say next.

Gajeel raised an eyebrow, but didn't react, most likely, because he was still trying to comprehend what Levy just said. Levy started to feel her face go a bright red. She wanted to run out of there right then, but... Fine, I'll count to five and if he doesn't say anything, I'll run. Levy thought.

One...

She looked down at the ground, unable to look at Gajeel anymore.

Two...Three...

If anything, she was turning redder by the minute.

Four...FIVE!

Levy turned and ran toward the guild. She felt a tear streak down her face. Mira was wrong about Gajeel liking her. If he did like her...he would've done something...

*flashback end*

She felt him sit down next to her. She didn't move. Levy was just hoping he would go away.

"Shrimp. Look at me."

"No," Levy mumbled.

"Shrimp."

Levy almost looked up. Gajeels voice had gotten softer. But then she mentally shook her head. No.

"Go-"

"Gomen, little shrimp," he whispered.

Levy froze. W-What?

Then she felt an arm go around her shoulders. Levy stiffened even more, but then relaxed. She lifted her head from the table and leaned into Gajeel.

Then what he did next made Levy's face go the reddest its ever been in her entire life.

He leaned down and kissed her on her cheek.

"Merry Christmas, little shrimp," he whispered.

Levy's soul nearly flew out of her body, but he managed to stay in enough for her to stutter.

"M-Merry C-Christ-tmas G-"

And this time, Levy wasn't interrupted by his words-but by his mouth.

Gajeel, then, leaned back. "So, shrimp-"

"My name's not shrimp!" Levy flicked Gajeel on the forehead.

"Itte!" he mumbled, rubbing it.

Levy smiled. She knew he wasn't really hurt. He was just doing it for her.

"So what-"

Levy was AGAIN, interrupted by idiots.

"Ice Pee! You're about to pay!"

Levy and Gajeel turned around to see what was happening this time.

"Shut up Flame Brain!"

Gray and Natsu were fighting again, but then something peculiar happened.

"Natsu! Come on! We're gonna go on a mission!" Lu-chan called.

She was standing by the door, holding a piece of paper in her hand. She was, apparently, oblivious to the fact that the boys were fighting. Or so Levy thought.

"Hai!" Natsu grinned, running over to Lucy, leaving a very surprised Gray with his mouth hanging open.

Everybody gasped as well.

Natsu would never leave a fight, unless...

Levy looked at Lu-chan. Lu-chan was looking over at her and Gajeel. Levy smiled, and gave her a thumbs-up. Lu-chan gave her one back. So they were...

Then, the two walked out together.

The guild went back to talking and gossiping with each other.

Levy looked at Gajeel. "Well?"

"Huh?" Gajeel looked at Levy. He clearly forgotten what they were talking about before.

Then a light blub came on.

"Oh, gomen," Gajeel scratched his head, sheepishly. "But, would you're free tomorrow, right?"

Levy's eyes widened. She smiled and nodded.

So so sorry, I needed to add in the NaLu.
