"So shrimp. Do you wanna make out or what?" Levy turned bright red and she hid her face in her hands. It wasn't every day an attractive older jerk was offering to kiss her. She heard him laugh at her reaction, she was never going to live this down. "I'm just saying, I'm a bad liar, and if your little friends find out you chickened out, who knows who you're gonna be thrown in here with next."

She looked up horrified, she could just imagine what Lucy would do to punish her for passing on this opportunity. She was just complaining the other day that she was already seventeen and has never had a real kiss. Now there was a guy practically in her face, Levy was just thankful it wasn't someone she thought of as a brother, or someone who would obsess about it afterward. Her two friends Jet and Droy had been fighting for her love over the past couple years and she would rather cut off her own leg then be stuck in a closet with either of them.

"Let me guess? First kiss?" Gajeel tried not to roll his eyes. He was usually surrounded by girls who were down for just about anything, and now there was a girl who looked like she was going to faint at the thought of being kissed. Talk about a 180. This was going to be sloppy, and retracting his invitation would just be rude, and he wasn't in the mood for tears or being kicked in the balls. He couldn't tell if she was the violent type, or the type who cried, and he wasn't looking forward to finding out. Small girls were usually feisty, and they traveled in packs with other feisty girls, and he didn't want to die. He was really going to kill Laxus after this.

Levy shuffled her feet trying to decide whether she should answer his question, she wasn't completely clueless, but her experience was something most people wouldn't expect. She wondered if it was really that obvious that she hadn't kissed a boy yet, was there a stamp on her forehead or something? "Well, I do have some experience... It just hasn't been with a guy..."

Gajeel raised a studded brow with a smile on his face that he wasn't even attempting to hide. There was no way in hell she was going to slip that in and then just drop it. He needed to hear it out of his mouth before he started celebrating. "I'm gonna need you to elaborate on that." Levy made an annoyed face she knew she shouldn't have said anything, but she was already in this deep, so why not just tell it all.

"Me and my friends have... You know, practiced before." It was something she never mentioned to anyone before, she didn't think it was weird. Well, until she said it out loud and she saw the perverted smile on his face.

"When we get out of here. I'm gonna need you to point them out for me. You know, just so I know how many people I kissed just by kissing you." She rolled her eyes, knowing he was just trying to cover up whatever pervy reason he really wanted to know.

"Yeah, I'm sure that's what you're worried about. How about the same for you, go ahead and point out all the people you've kissed first." Gajeel didn't know why this girl was so fun the mess with, she was taking none of his shit and she had a comeback to everything he said. Obviously she thought quick on her feet. Most girls either got really offended by his teasing, they usually ended up brooding and crying to her friends and then he had a group of angry women wanting his head. Others just took his shit lying down, and would constantly try to change to a conversation about his muscles, talk about boring.

"We don't have that kind of time." Levy rolled her eyes, great he was a whore just like she thought he was. And he was admitting it so freely, she thought about her options for a minute, was she really gonna kiss this guy? She heard Cana's voice in the back of her head telling her to live a little. But Cana didn't really give the best advice but she tried ignoring. She finally caved, why not? Its just a kiss, if it was terrible its not like she had to see him again.

"Don't be weird, or try anything funny, or I'm gonna punch you." Levy blushed again, she just gave him permission to kiss her, and on the inside she was freaking out.

He laughed at her again, she actually had the balls to threaten him like she could do anything. "Like you could reach." He stepped forward, closing in the distance between the two of them, and bringing himself to full height. "You want the lights on or off?"

She didn't think it mattered since their eyes were going to be closed. But she figured it would be less embarrassing if the lights were off just in case someone decided to barge in on them. "Off."

When the lights were off she just waited, she was holding her breathe hoping to get this done and over with. She was getting ready to ask him what was the hold up, or freak out and stop him when she finally felt his lips brush across hers. If the lights weren't off, he would have saw that the light blush she had on her cheeks turned into a full tomato faced blush.

He was gentle, and she was pretty thankful he didn't just try to shove his tongue down her throat. She felt his hands run through her hair and he deepened the kiss, pulling her lip into his mouth and sucking on it gently. She didn't know what to do with her hands, and she ended up just holding onto the front of his shirt for dear life.

He pulled away and picked her up sitting her on the dresser behind her. "You're really fucking short." His back was killing him from being hunched over for so long, he kissed her again shutting up any complaint she had ready for him. He made it a point to stand to her side and not between her legs. He wasn't trying to be a pervert, but their height difference was starting to get in the way.

He was a little bit surprised when she was the one to slide her tongue into his mouth. She had a grip on the hair near the back of his neck and his hands were on the dresser on either side of her hips. To say she was enjoying herself would be an understatement, she bit his lip and he had to stop things before they got out of hand. Trying to change the subject, he thought it was a good time to mention, that its been way more than seven minutes in their heaven. "Levy? Don't you think we've been in here a while now?"

He was out of breathe, and she noticed his voice was deeper than it was from earlier. When he was teasing her, it seemed pretty mischievous, but now it was on another level. " I don't care." She was feeling bold, kissing him again. She didn't know when was the next time she would be able to kiss someone like this and she wasn't going to waste the time spending it worrying about a how long she had been in the closet. Lucy was going to be proud, as much as her friends talked about their romantic adventures, it had nothing on her making out with a total stranger at a college party.

"If you keep biting my lip like that, I can't make any promises about being on my best behavior." His voice was raspy, and his forehead was pushed against hers, she could feel the metal of his piercings against her face.

"Is that a bad thing?" She was curious, She didn't know what had gotten into her, she never acted like this. Maybe she just read one too many romance novels and now it was influencing her judgment. Hormones were already running high and pulling his lip between her teeth made him groan in a way she had never heard before. He pulled away from her, for her sake, he wasn't going to take advantage of some girl who was biting off more than she could chew. He needed to put in some space between the two of them, she did exactly what he warned her about and she was playing with fire. It was a total change of pace after her acting so shy and innocent before. He knew she thought they were just kissing. But she was working on seducing him and he was sure she didn't even know it. Gajeel pulled out his phone checking the time trying to distract himself.

Levy was coming down from cloud nine and she was starting to feel embarrassed. Her eyes hurt from him turning on the life, and she was wondering if she looked just as disheveled as he did. "It's been like twenty minutes." That made Levy check her phone and saw that it was almost midnight. The three hours she spent at the party were pretty uneventful, but now she can say it definitely ended with a bang no matter what else happened tonight.

"That fucking ass hole." Levy looked up at Gajeel's outburst, she could tell he was annoyed but there was also humor in his voice. "Apparently we're in time out for bringing down the party." He tried not to laugh when he watched realization go across her face.

"But, we kissed." If being in the closet was a punishment, that meant she just made out with Gajeel for nothing. She practically squeaked, jumping down from the dresser and trying the door again. She tried calling Lucy but it went straight to voicemail and she wanted to cry. Now she was stuck in here with a stranger. Who was her friends older brother, who she just made out with, for who knows how long.

"Oi. You didn't seem that upset about a minute ago." He was teasing her again, at least he had a sense humor about their situation. He knew something was up, Laxus liked to pull pranks on people, but seven minutes in heaven with a high school chick seemed a little mild compared to the what he usually did.

He watched her puff out her cheeks again, a red tint on her cheeks and he couldn't help but laugh at their situation. "So shrimp. What do you wanna do for the rest of our punishment?"


She didn't want to fall asleep, but she had a hard time keeping her eyes open. But she spent the last three hours talking to Gajeel about anything they could think of and she could tell he was ready for bed too. "Okay, I give, it's time to crash." A couple of hours ago they ended up sitting on the floor just taking about whatever they could think of. Gajeel was laying on his back, using his arm as a pillow with Levy laying on her side facing him.

Gajeel didn't want to get up, but he started looking through the drawers finally pulling out a blanket. He stepped over Levy reaching on one of the upper shelves pulling down a king sized pillow throwing it on the floor beside her. "There's only one blanket, so I guess we have to cuddle." He shot her a smile that was meant to embarrass her but it just made her roll her eyes. After him laying on her lap while she played with his hair was already pretty intimate, not to mention the whole kissing thing. Laying next to him wouldn't be that much different, as long as he behaved himself.

"You better not try anything." She was too tired to argue with him. But she followed suit watching him kick off his shoes and throw his jacket in the corner before getting comfortable. She turned off the light before pulling off her tights, and cardigan. She took of her boots hours ago, hoping to be a little more comfortable, but honestly her butt hurt from sitting on the floor, and sleeping on it was the last thing she wanted to do.

She wanted to tell him he wasn't smooth, and that she was cuddling him because she wanted to, not because he said so. But that would have went straight to his head. She crawled closer to him, and she didn't seem to mind it that much using his chest as a pillow with his arm wrapped around her. "You know shrimp, maybe you should slow down. We just met, and now you're sleeping with me."

She groaned at his joke, despite the rumors she learned that Gajeel wasn't a bad guy, just really a big dork and she had enough of his one liners for one night. She muttered out a "Fuck you so much." Half heartedly hitting him making him laugh before they both fell asleep.
