The stars above in the black sky sparkled like diamonds reflected perfectly in the water where a certain blue-haired script mage sat on the dock, her feet dangling in the water below. The warm summer breeze blew her wild hair, making it perform an intricate yet graceful dance.

Tonight was a special kind of night, it was her birthday, and yet she had snuck away from the wild and outrageous party to enjoy the beautiful, crystal-clear, summers night. She loved her friends but she just needed to get away for a bit, her head was swimming, not to mention spinning.

Her mind was swimming with thoughts of a certain Iron Dragon Slayer named Gajeel Redfox. Every time she saw him, her heart would throb uncontrollably, her face would heat up terribly with a crimson blush the color of the reddest roses, and her fingers would tremble as if she were locked out in the cold.

Levy McGarden was in love, and she knew, she knew she would never look at another man the same way.

Gajeel was the one who held her fragile heart in his powerful leather-glove clad hands. He protected her, hell, he even saved her from Jet and Droy when they became just too much for her. He was her angel in disguise as a metal head, bull headed, tough-guy-persona, iron dragon slayer.

She stood and began removing her long peach button up blouse and removed her headband, along with her denim shorts, and her ballet flats. With the final piece of her wardrobe being removed she dived into the slightly warm seawater in just her lacey blue undergarment set. She stayed beneath as long as she could, letting her body relax and her mind wander as she gazed upon the beautiful coral and shells, before her lungs began to scream for a return to the surface.

When oxygen once again fed her lungs she couldn't help but smile as the moon stared down at her and the stars winked. She stayed there, idly floating as she sunk deeper and deeper into thought. So deep in fact, that she didn't hear the thump of footsteps on the dock behind her.

The gasp and possessive growling, coming from the dock is what finally broke her out of her thoughts. She turned slowly in the water, believing she knew who it was.

Gajeel POV

The party was getting a little to out of fucking control for me so I decided that maybe a nice walk down at the docks would be nice, hell, I might even see the shrimp. The summer air blew through the trees, with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, it all seemed to fit together perfectly, not to mention the bright full moon over my head as I walked towards the docks.

"I got one Hell of a feeling right about now."

That was when I saw her, her beautifully pale skin, sparkling like the stars above, her hair floating around her in, what would later become, a tangled mess. Her eyes seemed to glow with the moonlight; every inch of her was absolutely enchanting, yet surreal.

I felt my heart race at the sight of her. My muscles became extremely tense and a low, possessive growl escapes my clenched fangs as she made my blood boil.

Normal POV

Levy turned her head slightly to see exactly who she believed it would be. Gajeel stood there staring at her with narrowed eyes and a low growl erupting from his chest. She felt a blush rise to her cheeks at his heated stare.

"Gajeel?" She asked with a hoarse whisper.

Her calling his name seemed to snap him out of his musings quickly, but his eyes never left hers, even as he spoke in a husky whisper.

"What the hell are you doing in there, Levy?"

'He used my name,' Levy thought exasperatedly. 'HE used MY NAME! Not Shrimp, Bookworm, or Pipsqueak.'

"I- um, I thought a midnight swim would be nice?" She said hesitantly, almost as if she were asking.

She swam closer to the dock and lifted herself so her arms and chin rested against the musty boards of the dock. "An even better question is why are YOU out here instead of enjoying my party?"

Gajeel froze under her intense, almost flirtatious gaze. "Gehe, jeez shrimp, didn't know it was illegal to decide to come to the docks this late at night."

Levy giggled, her left hand covering her mouth. "It actually is illegal, in Magnolia anyways."

Gajeel swallowed hard as Levy lifted herself up and onto the dock, quickly grabbing her long shirt and pulling it over herself. "So what exactly brought the great "Black Steel Gajeel" out here on a night like this?"

Gajeel coughed roughly, his crimson eyes darting everywhere except her soaked form. "I needed to get away, and I uh, got ah, a l-little worried after I didn't see you after a while. I thought maybe you left or someone tried to kidnap you or something, and I," He paused, taking a deep breath and looking directly into her chocolate eyes as he spoke. "I just couldn't bare the thought of you getting hurt again, I would never forgive myself if you got hurt again."

Levy smiled as he looked down into the water and she did the unexpected. She crept closer and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Gajeel looked at her in total surprise.

"I figured it was something like that." She whispered, edging towards him until she was practically in his lap. "How may times do I have to tell you that I forgive you for what you did, you were just following orders, and I don't blame you for it."

He grabbed her small hand in his large one, bringing it so that it rested on his chest. "You might have forgiven me, but I don't think I can ever forgive myself for that… There is just too much guilt, too many damn memories of it."

She smiled and placed her hand on his cheek. "I know."

And with that she gave an impressive shove to his chest and squealed with excitement as he dragged her down with him. Her body became pressed against his in an intimate matter as the broke the surface of the water, gasping for breathe. Levy giggled as he growled at her dauntingly.

"What the hell are you laughing at shrimp?" He smirked at her, unable to keep his scowl in place when she looked at him with that smile.

Levy reached up and grabbed, what looked to be, a seaweed wig from his head.

"Gajeel, green is not your color." Her laughter calming immensely as she spoke again. "I like you just the way you are, your past and all."

Gajeel smiled a sweet smile and kissed her forehead softly. But as he pulled back, wickedly devilish smirk graced his lips, his fangs even poked out. "Well shrimp, I don't think that green is much of your color."

He reached behind her head and began untangling a bit of seaweed from her blue locks. "I guess green just doesn't look good on either of us, then huh?" she smirked.

"I guess not."

With those three little words, his lips decended upon hers and they shared a chaste, yet passionate kiss under the moonlit sky and twinkling stars.

Their kiss was then interrupted by a bunch of cheers coming from the boardwalk, where all of the guild stood, most intoxicated, while the others looked like they were making their way to that point of intoxication.

Levy blushed a deep crimson and his her face in Gajeel's chest as he shooed their guild mates away with a simple growl.

"That was one hell of a damned mood killer." He growled with a low chuckle. "Come, on Levy, let's get the hell outta her before they decide to come back and make us sit in these soaked clothes longer."

DONE!
