Note: To be honest I wasn't sure what to do with this chapter when I first approached it. I got some help from one of my friends and he gave me this idea. I thank you Pix.
Chapter 3
When Your Dreams All Fail
Levy curled further into her couch, the book resting on her folded legs slipping slightly as she drifted off. There was a sudden knock on the door and Levy set the book aside and opened it to find Gajeel standing her doorway.
"Gajeel!" Levy looked up at him surprised and he gave her a wide grin. "How did you get in? You're not supposed to be here!"
"I have a will of my own." Gajeel leaned in close to her face. "Can I come in?"
"O-of c-course." Levy stuttered staring up at him.
She watched as Gajeel set himself down on her couch before moving one finger, motioning for her to come closer. Levy swallowed lightly before moving over to the couch where he was sitting. Gajeel reached up and grabbed her waist pulling her down into him. He pressed his lips against hers for a moment before moving his lips to her neck. Levy let her fingers slide through his long black hair; this was the best visit she'd received from him.
Lucy was sitting at her desk writing, she was almost done with the chapter but her eyelids were drooping quite heavily. With another yawn Lucy decided she would finish it in the morning. Lucy turned off the desk lamp and began to make her way over to her bed. There was a sudden clatter at her window and she froze turning to fight off the intruder. It was only Natsu. Lucy sighed in relief as he dropped to the floor of her bedroom.
"Lucy." Natsu greeted pulling her into a firm hug. Lucy returned it easily reveling in his warmth. "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Lucy pulled back slightly to look up at the boy in front of her.
"This," he whispered; then his mouth had covered her and he as kissing her hesitantly.
Lucy was shocked, but she quickly responded to his lips on hers. Her hands came up to tug at the ends of his hair earning a small moan from Natsu. Carefully Natsu let his tongue drift over Lucy's bottom lip and she opened her mouth in reply. She felt as though her mouth was being scorched by the sweeping motions of his tongue. Maybe Natsu sneaking into her house was a good thing.
Lisanna was helping Mira serve people at the Fairy Tail bar. Her eyes were getting heavy the longer she tried to stay up. For some reason the guild had had yet another party and it left her dead on her feet. Lisanna placed her chin on her folded hands which rested on top of the counter. Just as she was going to drift off Laxus approached Lisanna.
"If you don't stay awake Mira will be mad." Laxus told her.
"Yeah well, I'm asleep." Lisanna mumbled back, peeking at Laxus with only one eye.
"Then I had better keep you awake." Laxus let a small grin slid across his mouth before he had pulled her up and over the bar counter and placed his lips on hers.
Lisanna's hands came up to his blond hair and Laxus permitted her to remove the headphones which were always on his head. She set them on the counter next to her and Laxus let out a low growl as her hands roamed over his ears and the hair which was usually covered. She had never felt such soft hair before and he tasted amazing! Laxus pulled back and Lisanna let out a small whimper at the loss of contact.
"The longer you stay awake, the more kisses you'll get." Laxus whispered into her ear and Lisanna quickly hopped off the counter to help Mira serve as fast as she could. She could feel his eyes on her the whole time but she didn't say a single word.
Levy jerked awake on her couch. The book she'd fallen asleep reading had long since fallen onto the floor and she picked it up gently, setting it safely on the crowded table. She knew it was too good to be true; this was the third time this week Levy had dreamed about the Iron Dragon Slayer. It was beginning to feel like an obsession to Levy. Besides this fact she knew Gajeel would never come through the door, he would probably throw a rock at her window to get her attention before coming to the door. Levy sighed and prepared herself for the day, the guild was sure to be busy and maybe she could sit with the real Gajeel. He may not hold, cuddle, or kiss her like Levy's dream manifestations but he still spent time with her, even if there was no conversation. Perhaps, Levy thought, Gajeel has feelings for me too; it's a long shot though.
Lucy jolted in her sleep and she fell off the bed onto the hard floor. She let out a small groan at the cold contact. Slowly she pulled herself up off the floor and worked her way into the bathroom. She ran hot water into her tub and began to soak, trying to wash away the memories of her dream. Sure Natsu always came through her window when he visited but he would never do something so cliché or cheesey. It was only in Lucy's dreams Natsu became a romantic fool who professed his undying love for her. No, he was definitely not the kind of person to behave completely oblivious and never act on even the slightest spark. Lucy pushed herself down into the water further; it would definitely be hard to forget her feelings for Natsu, because they were only growing stronger each day.
"Lisanna?" A sweet angelic voice asked. Lisanna woke to a small shake and found herself staring into her older sister's eyes. "You okay?"
"Yep, just a little tired." Lisanna smiled up at Mira before shaking herself awake fully and hurrying to help her sister with the guild patrons. She let her eyes slide over to the Rainjinshu. No, Laxus would never act as he had in her dream; he just wasn't made to be… romantic? No, sweet? No, he could definitely be sweet when he wanted to; Laxus wasn't built for a relationship. His personality clashed with anything of the romantic nature. Lisanna let a sigh escape her lips. Only her dreams would be filled with an opposite Laxus, a Laxus which would love her well into the night. Dreams were sometimes much sweeter than reality.
Note: I bet you all thought I was making the characters extremely OOC didn't you? Either way, doesn't really matter. Leave me a review; they're what keep me writing! ~May Reach
