"GAJEEL!" was all he heard before a small little body ran into him. Levy's eyes looked swollen so he immediately knew she had been crying .
"Sorry I'm late I was-" he was cut off by her soft pink lips being smashed to his. He loved when Levy would kiss him, but today he felt strange only because not so long ago he was with Delilah the one he truly loved.
She then pulled away and tugged on his shirt to get his attention. "What's the matter I thought you liked when I kissed you?" he looked down only to see tears forming at the ends of big brown eyes.
Oh how he loved her amazing eyes. Because of those eyes he would take her shopping, on dates, even throw some metal that was supposedly 'TO RUSTED TO EAT' away.
Then his mind trailed off again he began thinking of why he was approaching Iceheart in the first place. He had found a big enough piece of metal for the both of them to share. His trance was broken by the sound of his front door being slammed and the retreating foot steps of Levy down his path.
"You zoned out again. Does that mean you saw he today?" Gajeel looked at the little black exceed that sat on his couch, he was rubbing a paw over his eye, Gajeel knew then that his partner must have been sleeping. "Leave me alone." he grumbled as he walked to his room to change out of his heavy clothes.
He came out only moments later wearing a simple gray and black tank top with gray sweats. In his hand he held his favorite blanket that was given to him by Metalacana his dragon parent.
"I'll ask again even though I might already know the answer. Did you see her today?" Gajeel sat beside his faithful cat and said "How long do you think she's gonna be mad this time? A week, two weeks?" "GAJEEL!" Pantherlily was obviously getting angry because of his unanswered question.
Gajeel looked as if he was thinking then looked back at his partner. "Yeah your right… a week. I mean come on look at this face defiantly a week." Lily sighed in defeat and looked at his friend's face staring at the three studs above his eyes acting as eyebrows, the three on each side of his nose and the two on his chin just below his mouth.
"… Yeah I wouldn't get my hopes up." Gajeel's smirk feel " why are you so mean? I mean come on I'm cute…aren't I?" He waited for his felines answer.
"Maybe you should get her some chocolates as an apology." "some times I really hate you stupid cat." he said with a scowl. Pantherlily just rolled his eyes and hopped in Gajeel's lap and got comfortable then they both feel asleep to the buzzing of the refrigerator.
O-O-O-O-OO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-
"Mmmm… five more minutes Gajeel…" "GAJEEL!?" Delilah woke in horror in realization of who was standing on her chest . "Ahhh! Cheetara!" "Did you see that good for nothing scrap heap again!"
Cheetara was a cute little cheetah exceed that stood as tall as the other exceeds but, just like Pantherlily she could also grow taller and stronger. Cheetara was the ONLY one who could calm and/or scare Delilah.
"Uhhh…what scrap heap?" Cheetara's little face then scrunched up in anger. "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO NEAR HIM!" Delilah shuddered slightly then answered with a straight face, "Geez mom, calm down."
She then rolled her eyes at the little cat. "Don't you roll your eyes at me young lady!" and that's when Delilah finally had enough. She stood up from the bed and looked down on her friend and growled," don't you dare speak to me as if you were my superior … cat!"
the little cheetah exceed looked at her friend and understood that she was serious then sighed. "I'm sorry Delilah," she looked down at her feet "its just that you know that when ever you see… HIM…you get extremely distracted and if were ever going to surpass Gildarts then we need to focus."
Delilah turned and faced her mirror. Then in a flash of white, her reflection was nothing but dust under her fist. She looked back at Cheetara with a giant grin and laughed. "please he's nothing compared to my real challenge… Makarov." then she jumped into bed causing the cat to yelp as she was bounced into the air. "but, that can wait cause I'm sssuuuuppeeerrrr sleepy. She cuddled with Cheetara and drifted off to sleep dreaming of her iron prince but, shhhh… don't tell Cheetara that.
