7:00 P.M
"I cant.. I cant go on anymore" Gajeel groaned as he slumped on a chair
"Stop being a little baby Gajeel" Levy said without looking up at him. Shes been doing this for over 4 hours already. "How are you not tired from all of this?" he asked.
"I love this kind of stuff. Its a challenge and its fun" She looked up at him with a smile. She saw how tired he was and came up with an idea. She picked up her magic pen and wrote out IRON. Instantly, a huge lump of Iron came out spelling IRON. The O however, had a heart in it and she wasnt sure why*. She decided to let it go. "There you go!" Levy said. "Eat it and regain your energy. You still have ALOT of work to do"
Gajeels eyes shot open as he saw the huge iron letters before him. He quickly went to the iron and started eating it. "He looks so happy" she thought
"Hey shrimp!" Gajeel said. Levy came back from her thoughts a bit irritated.
"What?" she said with a scowl on her face
"This iron is really good!" He said with a joyful smile. Levy blushed at the comment. She didnt know why she was blushing so much just from that small comment on her iron.
"I-is that so?" She said. "Well enjoy and get back to work"
"Ok ok" He said as hes finishing up the rest of the iron.
Around 5 minutes later Gajeel finished up and saw Levy working. He decided to go up and see what this letter actually looks like. He went up behind Levy. It didnt seem like she noticed him because as soon as he put his head down next to hers, she jumped in fear and fell off her chair.
"What are you doing?!" Levy yelled. Her face was red. Really red. Her face matched her shirt.
"Calm down. I just wanted to see what this letter looked like." He explained. Levy was trying to catch her breath. "Thats it?" she thought. Thats all she was blushing for? She needs to get herself checked out. "I mean, i know i like him a little bit, but this is insane" she thought
"Well do you see anything that could help me?" she asked as she got up
Gajeel stared at the paper, he kept focusing on something that Levy couldnt point out.
"Why are there a bunch of L's and B's everywhere?" Gajeel asked
"What?! Where?!" Levy asked as she grabbed the letter. "How can you tell?"
"Well im not too sure if it will help but thats how Metalicana wrote his L's and B's" Gajeel explained. "Maybe some of this is written in Dragon language."
"A writing quirk?" she thought. "Maybe" she said
"Quick! find me a book on Dragon language!" she said. "There could be something else"
"Nope" Gajeel said. "I know the entire alphabet by heart, none of those other characters are in them"
Levy sighed as she slumped back down to her chair. "Well at least we got somewhere"
Gajeel looked at her not knowing what to do.
"Ok Gajeel. Get back to work" Levy said in a rather demanding tone.
"R-right" Gajeel said as he walked off. Levy took this chance to get a look at her surroundings. She was quite surprised. The room was way cleaner and neater that when they first walked in. Three walls were already cleaned and polished. She had to hand it to him. The man could clean. A scream and a bunch of lout thuds snapped her out of thoughts. It turns out that Gajeel slipped on one of the scrolls and dropped the 50 books he was carrying. Levy rushed over there to help him out.
However as she got to him, she saw a book with characters that looked the same to the ones on the letter.
"Gajeel, where did you find this book?" Levy asked
"Huh?" Gajeel said as hes trying to get up. "Thanks for helping me up shrimp" Gajeel scoffed.
"As if I could help you up. Im a shrimp arent I?" Levy countered. Gajeel just looked away and rubbed the back of his neck. "Anyways, where did you get this book?" Levy asked again
Gajeel went over to her and looked at the book. "Oh that? that book was ALL the way in the back of the bookshelf covered by 50 other books. Levy wasnt surprised. The book was old. It had a black leather cover with a few characters on the front. The pages were all an orangish and brown color. Some were starting to tear off. Without saying anything, Levy rushed over to her desk and opened the book. "I knew it" she thought. The characters in the book are the same ones in the letters. She soon found out that this letter was written in the ancient Sumerian language Cuneiform.
"I got it!" she yelled as started writing down the alphabet of the language.
"Got what?" Gajeel asked a bit confused.
"The translation! This letter is written in Cuneiform along with some Dragon language! I can finally decode this!" Levy exclaimed with the biggest smile on her face. Gajeel stared for a minute than gave a soft smile acknowledging Levys cute smile.
"Good work" he said.
"Ok, now time to decode this letter" Levy said with a gleam in her eyes. "Gajeel get back to work" she said casually.
"Tch." thats all Gajeel said before he left to go work on that final wall.
Around a half hour later, Gajeel finished the fourth wall. The room looked better than it probably did when it was first made in his opinion. Gajeel walked over to Levy and saw her head was down. "Is she sleeping?" he thought. On that thought, Gajeel walked over to the bluenette.
"Hey shrimp, are you ok?" Gajeel asked bending down his head.
Levy picked up her head to face the man only to realize that their faces were about an inch away from each other. They both blushed and immediately backed away from each other. Gajeel stood back up while looking up and Levy just turned her head to the other side and faced the floor.
"S-so, did you decode the letter?" he asked as if nothing happened
"No, not really." Levy said with a slight frown on her face. "I mean, I translated all of the letters but it doesnt make sense"
Gajeel took the letter and read what he saw. "HLBI GBRLBBLANLBDMBLBLA, ILF YBLBLBLBBOBBBU ALRBE RELBDLLINBLBG BLTHLBIS, TLHBELLN IBT MEALNS THBAT ILL HLBAVE ELSCBALLPBED. IBB ASBLSULRBE YLOBU TBHLLABT ILB ALM SLABFE. IB HABLBLLBVE MOLVEBED TLO ENBBCA. CLOMBE ALBNLD VLBISLBIT MBE WLHENLBELLVBLER YBOLU CLAN. LBOVE KLABILN"
Gajeel just stared at it blankly. He turned the card over and saw something that caught his interest.
"Hey shrimp look at this" Gajeel said. Levy paid no attention to the "shrimp" remark and just looked up at him with sad eyes.
"What?" she asked
"Theres a bumblebee on a Lotus flower-"Gajeel was cut off as he realized the paper was no longer in his hands, but in the bluenettes. She studied the picture then the letter.
"What if we take out the all the L's and B's?" Gajeel asked. "Since theres a Bee on a Lotus flower."
"That could work!" Levy exclaimed. Levy crossed out all of the L's and B's and found her result: HI GRANDMA, IF YOU ARE READING THIS THEN IT MEANS THAT I HAVE ESCAPED. I ASSURE YOU THAT I AM SAME. I HAVE MOVED TO AND VISIT ME WHENEVER YOU CAN. LOVE KAIN.
"We did it!" Levy said as she jumped with joy. Gajeel just looked at her with a smile on his face. He realized that whenever she is happy, so is he, whenever she is upset, so is he. And, he liked it. Levy stood up on her chair and gave Gajeel a big hug.. Out of impluse. Gajeel stood there, dumbstruck. His heart was pounding as if it was trying to break through his body. Levy soon realized and let go of him mumbling sorry. Just as she wanted to get off the chair, she accidentally started to slip off but before she could, Gajeel grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a kiss. Now it was Levys turn to be dumbstruck. "Whats going on? What is happening?" she thought. Her eyes were wide open with shock. "Since when did..." she trailed off as Gajeel stepped back.
"S-sorry" Gajeel stuttered with a full blush on his face. He tried pulling off a scowl on his face but Levy could see through it. Without another thought, she pulled him back into one more kiss. She knew what she was doing. Oh she knew it well. But she didnt care, she enjoyed every second of it. She pulled back and looked at him in the eyes with only a slight blush. As if nothing big has happened. On the inside however, she was going crazy.
"That was for not letting me fall, and doing a damn good job in cleaning this place up" She said with a smile on her face. Gajeel smiled and gave her one last small kiss then a hug.
"Lets go tell Kina-san that we decoded her letter and get back home as soon as possible" Levy said. Gajeel smiled then nodded.
~.~.~.
"Here you go Kina-san" Levy said cheerfully as she handed the elder the letter. Kina read the letter and smiled.
"Thank goodness he is okay" Kina said. "Well I believe your work is done deary. Here is the money" Kina handed over the money to Levy.
"Thank you very much Kina-san" Levy said as she accepted the money
"What, dont i get a 'Thank You' for cleaning up that monstrosity?" Gajeel said
"Oh you actually cleaned that place?" Kina asked slightly astonished.
"Well yea! you told me too!" Gajeel exclaimed
"I tell people many things" Kina said with a smirk on her face. Levy tried her best to suppress her laugh but let out a few snickers.
"Ok ok let me check on how well you 'cleaned' it" Kina said as she pulled out a small device from her Kimono. Gajeel and Levy both looked at the elder with slight wide eyes. "Whats the matter?" the elder asked slightly confused.
"Y-youre gonna check with that?" Levy said slightly blushing hoping that she didnt see the kiss she had with Gajeel.
"Well ofcourse, I have Visual Lacrimas set up all over the place" Kina explained. Levy and Gajeel looked at eachother with slight blushes on their faces. "But i dont use it much. The last time I used this was about a year ago to check up on my safe" Kina explained. Both Gajeel and Levy felt a huge relief when they heard that. Kina pushed in a few buttons on the small yellow box with a screen and her jaw nearly dropped.
"Its so clean!" she exclaimed. "Youre quite the cleaner!"
"Well Thank you" Gajeel said. "Ok shrimp lets get going. I want to catch the nearest train"
"Ok ok" Levy said. "Kina-san thank you very much for your business"
"No no, thank you. Now I know where my grandson is and I havent seen that book room that clean in years!" Kina said
"If you dont mind me asking Kina-san, what happened to your grandson?" Levy asked
"That boy got into alot of trouble with the government. He was sentenced for a good time in prison but I guess he escaped and left me this letter" Kina explained.
"So he wrote that letter coded so if anyone were to find it they wouldnt be able to read it." Gajeel said. Kina nodded in agreement.
"Thank you very much. I will go visit him very soon" Kina said. Levy and Gajeel both nodded and head off. With one final wave to Kina, they set off to the train station.
"Heh, such naive kids. But its ok, Im truly happy for them" Kina said
"Hey Gajeel, how did you know that we had to cross off the L's and B's based of that picture?" Levy asked
"Well when i did alot of missions for Phantom, I had to send off many coded letters reporting my findings and sometimes, id draw a picture to give them a hint" Gajeel explained.
"Ahh ok" Levy said as she leaned closer to him as they walked to the train station. Gajeel smiled and put his arm around her shoulder as they continued to walk on.
"You know, im ok with that train now because of those pills" Gajeel said joyfully
Levy soon realized that she doesnt have anymore of those pills. "Yeah about the pills, I dont have any more" Levy said putting her had behind her head.
Gajeel stood there in shock and slightly upset. "Then how am I going to ride that Death trap?!" he asked.
"Hmm," Levy thought for a moment. A few seconds later she walked up to him and winked. "You can lay down on my lap and just close your eyes"
Gajeel blushed. He didnt know what to say. He just kept stuttering. Levy started to laugh and said not to worry. Gajeel just continued to walk on the path of what he assumes to be his death with his head down. Levy started to pat his back and told him to man up. He gave her a small smile and a small laugh.
1 DAY LATER
"F-finally" Gajeel said as he fell onto the ground of Magnolia.
"Oh come on, it wasnt that bad" Levy said. Gajeel stood up and and gave Levy as kiss. She smiled and returned the kiss before he backed away.
"Maybe not for you, but it was hell for me. And this kiss was just a small compensation" Gajeel said with a smirk on his face
"Ok ok, whatever you say Gajeel" Levy smiled as she started to head off to the guild. "Come on, lets go back. Im a bit hungry". Gajeel agreed and head off with Levy.
When they got to the guild, they saw the usual crew (except for Natsu and Gray) sitting and eating their lunch. Jet and Droy saw Levy and quickly rushed over to her and started to hug her. "Well at least Droy feels better now" Levy thought
"Levy-chan youre back!" Lucy said as she rushed to go and hug her friend. Everyone greeted Levy as Levy went to go and sit with her friends. Gajeel went to Master to let him know that he is back.
"Sooo" they all said in unison as they looked at Levy with wide eyes.
"Yessss?" Levy said copying their tone of voice
"How was it?" Lucy asked
"It was really nice. Job done" Levy said
"What did you guys do there?" Lissana asked
"Work ofcourse" Levy said
"Did he hurt you in any way, tell me, ill inflict double the damage" Erza said
"N-no he didnt Erza" Levy replied
"Did you guys kiss?" Juvia asked
Levy blushed at the sudden question. "Wh-what makes you think that?" Levy asked
"OH. MY. GOD." the four girls said together
All Levy could do was blush and look down. So much for her non chalant replies earlier. She heard the girls "aww" and "kya" and tried her best to quiet them down so Gajeel wouldnt be able to hear.
"Congrats Levy-chan!" Lucy exclaimed
"SHH!" Levy said as she quieted down her friends. "Ok yes we kissed and realized our feelings for each other. There I said it!" Levy said. The girls just continued to snicker but before anyone could say anything, they heard the doors slam open. Natsu and Gray have entered. They were panting and catching their breath.
"I told you I would get here first" Natsu said panting
"The hell are you talking about? I obviously got here before you!" Gray said. They started arguing and bickering which later lead to fist fighting.
"My god, they havent even been here for two minutes and they are already fighting" Lucy said sighing.
"GRAY-SAMA~!" Juvia exclaimed as she rushed over to Grays side.
Erza sighed and got up. "I can see that, that mission didnt teach you anything at all huh!" Erza yelled across the guild.
The two boys stopped. Carefully turned their heads around to see an angered Erza.
"O-o-ofcouse it did!" Natsu said as he put his arm around Grays shoulder
"Y-yeah! We were just testing you to see if you were serious about the whole thing hehehe" Gray said. Both of them were giving off weird laughs as the rest of the guild stared at them.
"Is that so?" Erza asked. The two nodded. "Well then alright, as long as you learned" she said as she sat back down to finish her strawberry cake. The other two breathed a sigh of relief and quickly let go of each other. They made their way to the girls table and sat down.
"How was the mission Natsu?" Lucy asked.
"It was horrible for the first day! Apparently men arent allowed there so we were being chased by a bunch of women!"
"Isnt that every mans dream?" Lissana asked
"Gray-sama didnt do anything with the women, correct?" Juvia said giving off a death glare
"N-no I didnt. And thats not the kind of chasing we are talking about. By chasing we mean with arrows and snakes. Like 'I want to kill you' chase" Gray explained.
"But we met a guy with a straw hat* that was apparently friends with the ladies because the queen had a major crush on him. So we were able to escape freely" Natsu said
"Well thats good i guess" Erza said
"So anything new happen here while we were gone?" Gray asked
"Well.." The four girls said together
"Nothing. Nothing at all" Levy said as she cut them off
Natsu and Gray looked at each other and decided to forget about it.
"Well if you would all excuse me, Im gonna go home and take a shower" Levy said
"Will you be alone?" Lucy asked snickering. The other girls burst out laughing and Levy was all flustered.
"Who knows?" Levy said as she winked. The girls stopped laughing and just looked at her. They then continued snickering amongst themselves happy for their little bookworm friend.
Levy left the guild and turned around the corner only to bump in something hard. She looked up and saw Gajeel.
"Hey there" he said
"Hello Gajeel" Levy said giving him a kiss on his cheek.
Gajeel snickered and gave her a kiss. On the lips. Levy was more than happy to return the kiss. Their kiss was passionate. It was the first actual passionate kiss they have had, and frankly, they were enjoying the hell out of it. They broke the kiss to catch their breaths.
"Hey Gajeel.." Levy said
"Yea?" he asked. Levy was silent. She wanted to tell him how she truly felt about him even though the kisses werent obvious enough. She just wanted to make sure. He saw her trying to say the words.
"Its okay shrimp. I love you too" Gajeel said with a smile on his face.
Levy looked up at him with wide eyes. She nodded and pulled him for another kiss. A small one, but a loving one.
"Im gonna go home and take a shower ok? Do you want to meet up later?" Levy said.
"How about I just go with you, I could also use a shower you know." Gajeel said
Levy just gave him a small smirk and started walking off. She took a few steps before turning around motioning him to come with her. Gajeel, being very happy, took that as a yes and head off with her.
*One Piece anyone? As expected of Luffy-san to help out anyone in need XD
