Lily and The Idiots' Guide for Dating
Gajeel woke up very early in the morning, but he didn't get out of bed. Instead, thought about what to do. He didn't have the slightest idea what he needed for his 'date' and damn, he hated that word because it sounded so lame and girly. He wondered about who he could ask to help him on the subject "Natsu? No way an idiot like that would be any help... Gray? He can't even handle Juvia. Erza or Lucy? No way. Dammit! This is a waste of time" he thought
Suddenly Lily jumped up on Gajeel "Wake up"
The Dragon Slayer opened his eyes and answered "What?"
Lily crossed his arms "I'm going to help you"
"With what?"
The Exceed smirked "Your date with Levy"
Gajeel's faced darkened, "You followed me"
"No… I was just incidentally going the same way as you"
"She lives west, we live on the other side of town" he growled, obviously pissed at his partner.
Lily looked a little impatient "Do you need help or not?"
Gajeel sighed, he really need help but was Lily really the best candidate? "Natsu, Gray, Lucy, or Erza?"
The thought left his head as fast as it had come. He looked up at Lily and almost shouted "Yes!"
The idea of any of those idiot mages helping him with his 'date' terrified him. "They'd probably destroy the restaurant, and that's at best case scenario" he thought
He sat up and looked down at his cat "Okay, what do we do first?"
"I'll be right back" the cat replied as he flew down the hall "Ah hear it is!"
Gajeel eyed the back of the small strange book in his hand. It was a dark gray color with golden lines lining it. He flipped the book around to read the title "The Idiots' Guide for Dating"
He threw the book at the wall with such force, the wall cracked
"What the hell!" he snarled
"Calm down Gajeel," Lily laughed as he flew to get the book "Mira gave me this just in case you ever grew a pair, and asked Levy out"
He grinded his teeth together, "Damn barmaid" he muttered
They opened the small book and read its contents. "The Idiots Guide for Dating's 5 easy step process" Lily said aloud as he tried to suppress a laugh,
"Step number one, ask someone out"
"No shit" Gajeel murmured while he laid on his bed with his hands behind his head. It looked like he was pouting.
Lily shot him an ugly look that signaled for him to shut up and listen "Step number two, find appropriate clothing for said date"
Gajeel suddenly jumped up, walked over to his closet and pulled out his white tux, "No problem!" he grinned
"NO!" Lily shouted in disgust
Gajeel looked at his cat with disbelief, "What's wrong with my performing tux?!"
The Exceed looked Gajeel straight in the eye, and answered him "It's hideous"
Gajeel walked to a corner of his room and held on to the wall for support- the fact that he took this statement offensive, was clearly an understatement. The Dragon slayer was so offended by the comment, that he had started emanating a dark, depressing aura off of himself.
Lily sighed "Looks like we have to get you a new suit"
Levy's Pov:
It was real?!
Levy woke up very early in the morning, trying to figure if what had happened last night was a dream or reality. It had seemed too real to her to be fake. She remembered almost falling and Gajeel catching her, and how he carried her all the way home, and how nervous she felt when she looked up into his piercing red eyes and how handsom-
No! Was she going crazy!? The Iron dragon slayer had never been that nice to her…. of course it had to be a dream! The Solid Script mage was laughing as she got out of her bed, telling herself how silly she was to think he would ever ask her out- when she noticed her ankle was a bit sore…
"Why's my ankle sore?" she thought
And then it hit her. "IT WAS REAL?!" she yelled out loud
She quickly packed some clothes and ran to her best friend Lucy's house. It was a big gamble, Lucy could have been out on a mission or busy, but luck was on Levy's side- a sleepy looking Natsu answered the door and yelled "Hey Luce! Levy's at the door!"
"What is Natsu doing here? And what has Lucy been doing…" she smiled wickedly, with her mind in the gutter
"NATSU!" Lucy came bolting down the stairs with the intent to kill in her eyes "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO BREAK INTO MY HOUSE!" she roared, kicking the pink haired boy in the face and knocking him out cold.
All of Levy's perverted thoughts had been knocked out of her head along with Natsu, "There's no way anything things going on here…" she thought as all the color drained from her face "Poor Natsu!"
"Oh hey Levy!" the Blond mage smiled brightly "Come on in! And uh, and sorry about that"
Levy sweatdropped and stepped inside her friend's house.
"So, what brings you here?"
"Umm I need your help" Levy mumbled nervously hoping her friend wouldn't freak out when she told her the news
"With?" Lucy's eyes perked up with interest, she could hear from the tone and her blue haired friend's voice that it wasn't about a book
"I… I have a date tonight…"
Lucy eyes sparkled with delight "WHO IS IT!? Jet? Droy?"
Levy looked stunned for a second. She thought her friend knew that she would never date her team members because it could compromise their team and she honestly couldn't picture having a romantic relationship with either of them.
"No…" Levy mumbled now scared to tell Lucy who her date was
Lucy looked at Levy with disbelief "Then who?"
"Umm," Levy hesitated "Gajeel"
"Ehh!" Lucy shouted as she jumped back with her hands in the air, her eyes as wide a saucers; she was in total shock. But then she started laughing "That's sooo cute!" Lucy said as she pinched Levy's cheeks, "And you want my help to make yourself all cute for Gajeel! How adorable! Where are you two going?"
"That new restaurant that just opened up…"
"AWWWHHH LEVY!" Lucy squealed while pinching her cheeks "How cuuute!"
Levy would never admit it, but Lucy pinching her cheeks and being happy for her, made her extremely happy. She thought that Lucy would scold her and try to convince her that he was bad news and that she should stay away from him (like Jet and Droy did when told them she wanted to be Gajeel's friend).
After Lucy stopped pinching Levy's cheeks, she smiled deviously and put her hand in front of her face to whisper to Levy "But I gotta know, how did Droy and Jet take the news?"
Levy's face lost all its color instantly. If Jet and Droy didn't even like the idea of her and Gajeel being friends, then what would they think about their date tonight? She hadn't even thought about it.
"Levy!" Lucy shouted as she caught the bookworm in her arms. Out of no-where Levy almost passed out. "Are you okay?"
"I didn't tell them," she whispered horrified "it didn't even cross my mind… they're gonna freak"
"No they won't" Lucy said with a gleam in her eyes and a fist in the air, "Because they won't find out"
"Find out what?" Natsu asked, scaring the two girls half to death
"NATSU! Go home already!"
"But Luce!" he pleaded with puppy dog eyes "You promised that we would hang out today because Happy's visiting the other exceeds!"
Lucy blushed at Natsu's words, but her blush soon turned into an evil grin, "okay, but you have to do whatever I say"
Natsu agreed happily not knowing what he had gotten himself into.
