"Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity. Fuck. Fuck." Gajeel groaned as he paced a random bedroom he walked into just minutes ago. The walls drowned out the loud music blasting throughout the house and the voices of his friends and friends of friends.

It was Cana's birthday and of course she would want to have a huge house party filled with nothing, but alcohol and friends. Everything was going well until Gajeel made the biggest fool of himself. He groaned louder as he tripped over his feet, racking his fingers through his loose hair as if to pull out the memory from his brain. The intense buzz of the alcohol started to dissipate as he shook his head at his thoughts.

"I'm so fucked!" He whined, slapping his hand over his forehead, "I can never speak to her again. I have to get out of here."

Weighing his options, he thought hard about how he was going to sneak out of the house undetected. He could try to sneak back down the stairs and out the front or back door or he could just jump out the second story bedroom window. The height was no problem, he's jumped from taller structures, but he was worried about the alcohol still clinging to his system that can cause him to slip or not land correctly.

"I'm such an idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" He berated himself, stopping his pacing to lightly slam his head into the wall repeatedly. He was so busy beating himself up that he didn't hear the door open and close, someone walking over to him.

A firm hand grabbed Gajeel's shoulders causing him to shriek and nearly jump out of his skin. "Yo! Gajeel, calm down." A familiar voice spoke, causing the male to whip around, looking at the dark brown eyes of his savior.

"Lily! You gotta get me out of here!" Gajeel beg, grabbing his old friend by the shoulders.

Taken aback, Lily shook his head in shock at the pleading look and fear in the guy he calls his younger brother. "What's going on? You ok?" Lily asked with a cocked eyebrow, well his good one anyway.

Shaking his head, Gajeel released Lily as he started to pace again. "No! I made a mistake and I need to get out of here, before she finds me!"

"By her, do you mean Levy?"

Stopping abruptly, Lily tried his best to conceal the smile that spread on his face at the pure terrified look on Gajeel's. "She's actually looking for you. She asked me to help look for you." Lily added, causing all the blood in Gajeel's face to drain. "Are you going to tell me what this is about or do I need to call her instead?"

"NO!" Gajeel yelled louder than he meant, clearing his throat with a cough, he said in a calmer tone, "No. I-I-I, I'll tell you but you have to promise not to tell her where I am."

"Deal." Lily smiled, earning a nod from the man. Gajeel let out a deep breath, deciding to take a seat on the edge of the queen sized bed, as his friend stood in front of him with his arms crossed waiting for his explanation.

Everybody had been drinking, dancing, talking and just having a good time. The birthday girl made sure everyone in attendance had at least one drink in their system. After a couple of shots and a few cups of mixed drinks, Gajeel was feeling really good. He was leaning on the wall talking to Natsu when he spotted her, in all her ethereal glory. Her smile could light up a room and her laugh could ease even the angriest person out of their rage. He didn't realize he was staring until Natsu waved a hand in front of his eyes, catching his attention.

"You look like Juvia, whenever she sees Gray," Natsu chuckled. "I can see hearts in your eyes."

Gajeel let out his signature, 'tch' trying to ignore the tingling feeling in his cheeks when he chanced another glance at her. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Natsu rolled his eyes, swaying slightly when he leaned over to rest his arms around the tall man shoulders. "Just go over there and talk to her. It's not like you haven't before."

They both looked back at the blue haired girl who happily chatted away with, Lucy and Cana, a red solo cup in each of their hands. Gajeel opened his mouth and quickly closed it. He wanted to go over there and talk to her but he didn't want to do it as friends. No, he wanted to be more than that, ask her out or something. Scrunching his eyebrows in confusion, Gajeel tried his best to think of a way to do that.

All of them had been friends since middle school with Gajeel, Lily and Juvia joining the group in high school. Now with their third year of college approaching, he knew he couldn't hold his admiration for the small woman any longer.

"Stop thinking so hard, makes you look uglier," Natsu grinned smacking his friend on the shoulder, earning a glare. "Just hit her with a pick up line or something. If anything it'll make her laugh."

Taking his words into consideration, Gajeel thought aloud, "What's the worst that could happen?" Agreeing with the pink haired pyro, Gajeel grabbed Natsu's drink and downed it, earning a laugh from the man.

"Good luck!" Natsu cheered as he watched Gajeel strode over to Levy with a slight swerve in his steps. He was a lot more wasted than he thought, but that didn't stop him from attempting to spill his feelings.

Lucy and Cana were the first to see his advance, immediately leaving when they saw how intensely he was staring at Levy. Lucy pulled Cana over to Natsu, so they could watch and listen at a good distance, anticipation clouding the trio.

Levy was confused at her friend's sudden departure turning around to see where they went and squeaked when she saw Gajeel standing behind her. "Geez, Gajeel, you scared me." she said placing her hand over her chest.

"Sorry, about that." He mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck. She quickly waved him off with a small smile, saying it was ok. Gajeel stood there frozen, trying to remember why exactly he came over to talk to her in the first place. His nerves mixing with the alcohol made him want to puke, but knew he had to say something. Anything! "I-uh, like your shirt!" he stumbled out, pointing to her shirt, that read "KARMA" in big bold white letters on her black shirt.

Mentally face palming at his comment, he groaned inwardly. Smooth, Redfox, real smooth. You're just a regular Casanova aren't you?

Looking down at her shirt, as if she forgot what she was wearing, she giggled, "Thanks, it was an impulse buy a few weeks ago with Lucy." The alcohol and her laugh somehow seemed to make him drunker as he stared down at her. Gods, she was beautiful.

Without thinking, he said, "If Karma won't fuck you, I will."

"What?"

"What?" he repeated, his words just now seeping into his brain. "WHAT DID I JUST SAY?" He yelled in his head, as Levy stared up at him, mouth wide open in shock.

Before he could saying anything else stupid, he turned on his heels darting into the crowd of people to find a place to think. Totally not to hide from her, nope that's not it at all.

When he was done with his story, Lily was roaring with laughter, his head tilted back as he clutched his stomach.

"It's not funny Lil'." Gajeel groaned, burying his burning face into his hands. "Why did I say that?" He asked more to himself, instead of his dark skinned friend.

Lily patted him on the shoulder reassuringly as he sat down on the bed beside him. "You can blame the alcohol, but you know what they say. A drunk man, speak sober thoughts."

Gajeel rubbed his face with his hands, hating Lily and his constant spewing of wisdom. "Why do you always have to be right?"

"Because, I'm your older brother." Lily chuckled, knocking shoulders with the other man. "But, you do need to talk to her. The tension between you two is starting to become suffocating."

"Shut up." Gajeel groaned, pushing Lily off the bed, earning a loud chuckle from the floor. "I-I'll do it sooner or later."

The knock on the door and it opening, caused the two to look expectantly at it. Gajeel cursed under his breath as the blue haired girl of his problems poked her head into the room looking around curiously.

Lily was the first to greet her, standing up from the floor in order to welcome her into their safe haven. Gajeel looked between the two and the window, opting for the window instead of facing his lifelong crush. Bolting for it, he opened it quickly ready to launch himself down to the ground below.

Strong arms wrapping around his waist, pulled him back into the room. "Gajeel! What the hell are you doing?" Lily howled, smacking the man upside the head before lowering his voice. "Are you really going to wimp out right now, instead of explaining?"

"I don't know if I can do this, Lil'. What if she laughs at me or rejects me."

Sighing heavily, Lily shook his head, his short curly hair bouncing with the movement. "You said sooner or later, so later is now, so go get your girl, man." Lily pushed Gajeel towards a curious Levy who stood close to the door, waiting for their whispered conversation to end. "He's all yours Lev." Lily announced, leaving the two to themselves in the room.

Silence spread across the room as Gajeel stood stiff in his spot with Levy searching his features for any inkling of why he would decide to jump out the window. With a defeated sigh, Levy stepped towards him. "So you would rather jump out a two story window than talk to me?"

"N-N-N-No, that's not it." He stuttered out, stepping backwards away from her as she advanced. "I just-I'm embarrassed."

"Because of what you said to me, right?" she asked, an amused smile on her face as he continued to back away from her until his calves hit the back of chair, falling back into it. "If karma won't fuck me, you will right?" She challenged, placing her hands on the either side of the chair arms, leaning into his space.

He didn't know if he should be nervous or aroused, but he was definitely both. Knowing already that Levy had a slight dominant streak in her and a fire that couldn't be quelled, Gajeel was anxious to see what she would do next.

A challenge sparked in her eyes and a teasing smirk curled her lips. "Was that a pick-up line or a threat?" she asked, pulling him out of his thoughts.

"Both." He said quickly, earning an amused arched eyebrow from the woman. Gulping loudly, he didn't know what to do next, what she would do next but her climbing into his lap wasn't it. She sat sideways his body stiffening from her suddenly being so close. Her hand made its way to the nape of his neck, playing with his hair earning soft groan.

Fuck, she knew exactly what to do to relax him. How much power does she really have over him? All of it probably.

"You promise?" She asked, catching him off guard. Looking down at the girl in his lap, his breath was stolen from his lungs at the look of pure lust in her eyes. Taking his silence as not understanding, Levy placed her hands on either side of his face, slowly pulling him closer to her. "Do you promise to go through with your threat?"

He was drunk all over again, and it wasn't Cana's famous jungle juice this time. The scent of her and alcohol clouded his senses as he wrapped his arms around her, leaning down further before stopping short. "Are you sure?" he asked hesitantly, the small woman smiling fondly up at him.

"Just kiss me, Gajeel." She demanded, the man needing nothing more then that as he closed the gap between them. The kiss was sweet and slow as if testing each other's reactions, before Gajeel deepened it, moving her to sit properly, straddling him. One had wound into her hair while the other made its way under her black skirt to knead her butt. He was rewarded with a soft whine, as her hands tangled themselves in his hair, pulling lightly. Breaking apart for air, Levy peppered kisses along his jaw, giggling as he let out a strangled moan.

"Levy," he spoke, pulling the woman away from him. "We need to stop, before we go too far."

"But, you promised." She pouted, earning another kiss.

"As much as I want to take you right here, right now, I won't." He stated, squeezing the girls hips lightly. "It'll be when I'm sure we won't get irrupted and we're both sober. I want to remember every inch of you."

He felt her shiver under his fingertips, a proud smile curling his lips. She grabbed his face, placing her forehead against his, letting out a deep sigh. "You're gonna be the death of me."

"I can say the same thing, shorty," he chuckled, rubbing her sides affectionately.

After a few deep breaths and more kisses, they finally separated walking hand-in-hand back downstairs to the party. Now back with their regular group of friends, Gajeel leaned on the wall for support with his arms wrapped securely around her waist as she leaned her back against him. Lily noted the change of the two, winking knowingly at a now flustered Gajeel. He buried his face into her blue hair, Levy patted his head reassuringly, not stopping her conversation with Lucy who was equally wrapped in Natsu's arm.
