It has been 2 days since the power went out and it was Christmas Eve. Levy decided it was a good idea to bring up a fake Christmas tree. Levy told Gajeel she would be right back as she walked to one of the spare rooms designated for storage. Levy inspected the Christmas tree for bugs and once it was no bug confirmed she lifted the metal trunk and started toward the living room. Her legs started to wobble and quickly collapsed.
Gajeel quickly turned to the source of the loud noise and saw and odd looking bush laying in the hallway. "Oi! Bush you tryin' to fight me?" "Well you got it buddy!" Gajeel started towards the "standing" bush and quickly landed a punch. Gajeel's hand went straight through the bush and he started falling forward. In Gajeel's currently sick state he couldn't stop himself from falling to the floor.
"AHHHHHHHH!" a high pitched squeak came from the bush, it sounded a lot like Levy. "hiiiiii…" Levy blushed from under the Christmas tree. "Levy, why are you under the Christmas tree?' Gajeel said in a sarcastic tone. "Why were you battling the air?" Levy responded. Gajeel's cheeks turning pink got up and helped Levy out from under the Christmas tree.
Gajeel helped Levy carry out the Christmas tree and gather other items such as lights ornaments and a beautiful golden garland. Levy started stringing lights across the tree (The power came back on) and once that was done put on the garland and started putting on some ornaments. Gajeel grabbed a few and put them on too. Levy peered over to look at Gajeel's work and giggled. "Oi? What are you laughin' at?" Gajeel grunted and looked at levy. "Gajeel, that's not how you do it." Gajeel's ornaments were all in ore cluster. "You have to spread them out." "Yeah I know that." Gajeel hid his embarrassment.
"Here you go." Levy handed Gajeel the star. "Umm, Okay." Gajeel threw the star on one of the branches. Gajeel looked at the star confused, looking at Levy for reassurance. "Well that's a very large ornament Gajeel." She hid her giggles to see what he would say. "That's what I was thinking" Gajeel said. "Yeah, Gajeel it's supposed to go on the the top of the tree. That's why I gave it to you, I can't reach it." "You've never decorated a tree before have you?" Levy pouted sporting a look of sympathy. "Well I guess I haven't."
Levy helped Gajeel finish the tree and he put on the star. After they were done with the tree they looked at it and smiled "That looks kinda cool." Gajeel said grinning making sure to hide his excitement. "Yeah, I know." Levy said and looked at Gajeel. "Hey you wanna play some board games?" Levy asked. "Nah, I'm kinda tired." "Ok, then, mind if I join you?... oh, Um.. I-er- didn't mean it that way." "I know what you meant. I know the couch isn't that comfortable" "Alright, thanks Gajeel. I'm gonna go change."
Levy went to change into her pj's and hopped into bed. Gajeel soon joined her and faced opposite of her.
Part 2.
Levy slowly rose out of bed and rubbed her eyes and quickly came to realization. It was CHRISTMAS!
She started jumping on the bed and shaking Gajeel and squealed, "IT'S CHRISTMAS! IT'S CHRISTMAS!"
"Levy, what's the big idea, we don't even get presents."
"Well, you haven't seen the living room yet, have you."
Gajeel looked at the bluenette in confusion.
"You haven't either, Levy."
"I know but It doesn't hurt to check."
"Fine"
Gajeel widened his eyes in disbelief as he saw at least 20 presents under the tree. "Oh my gosh! How did these get here?" Gajeel was mesmerized. "Maybe I did some shopping… But I didn't buy nearly this many presents." Levy peered over to look at who the presents were from and saw, "FROM: SANTA" "What the heck?! It says it's from Santa Claus." "Yeah ok Levy, What types of drugs are you on." "Seriously look!" Gajeel looked at the presents in amazement.
"Well… Let's open them." "Hell yeah!" Gajeel said.
L: Alright here is your first one Gajeel
G: Oh ok, It's from you! Thanks
L: Well open it.
G: What is it?
L: It's a special glove that allows you to make magical iron like mine, so it gives you a boost, and even though you would be making it you can still eat it. Isn't that so cool? Oh and I got it customized it so it would look like your normal glove.
G: Hmmm That's actually pretty cool. Thanks, Shrimp. Oh, Sorry I don't have a present for you.
L: It's okay, I've got other presents. From Santa.
G: Ha Ha Ha
L: Okay let's see. To me!
G: What is that?
L: OH MY GOSH! IT IS A MAGICAL BOOK CASE!
G: It's so small
L: The more books you put in it the bigger it gets. And once it gets to 10 by 10 feet it turns into a portal, through that portal is a series of other book cases, LIKE A BOOK CORRIDOR!
G: Ok, that's cool
L: Alright another one for you.
G: Actually hold on Levy.
L: Huh?
G: Here you go, Levy
L: Did you just pull a present out of your pocket?
G: Yep, here you go.
It was a small metal box. Levy opened it and gasped
L: Wow! Gajeel, It's beautiful! Thank you so much.
It was a necklace made out of iron, it had a thin chain and an open book pendant. Levy leaned in and gave Gajeel a little kiss on the cheek and a hug. Luckily Levy was hugging him so she couldn't seem the extreme blush creeping across the dragon slayer's face.
Did Levy just kiss me on the cheek? Wow.
They continued on opening presents and were happy with what they got.
After a long tiring morning they got up and started making some coffee and breakfast.
"You wanna make the breakfast, Gajeel?"
