AN: I'm glad you guys took the last scene well,
I was concerned some people wouldn't appreciate it being there,
but I was gladly mistaken, so here is some fluffy citrus-ness

==[o0o]==

Levy couldn't take her eyes off the towering man before her. The last thing she did was embarrass herself at his wedding reception before vanishing.

Neither of them moved for what seemed an eternity before Gajeel tried to speak at the same time as Levy, both interrupting each other, however unable to hear anything due to the loud music, she giggled, holding a hand to her face.

She is still as beautiful as ever.

Levy took it upon her self, she was going to be happy. Just for tonight. To feel the loving touch once alcohol was definitely talking or was it the shitty marriage? She didn't care. Not right now.

Levy began dancing with her back to Gajeel, occasionally turning to look at him as he gave her a slightly puzzled look. Her eyes softened as she turned around to him, moving her body closer to his. He sighed as small smirk sat on his lips watching her dance before him. His eyes focused on the woman giving him a personal dance.

Moving his hands awkwardly before him he slowly felt his body go along with the beat of the music, matching that of the bluenette before him. Easily snaking his arm around her lower back he pulled her in to his body, holding her close to him as their bodies moved in almost perfect synchronisation.

Levy held her arms above her head, enjoying the moment as the songs played, each time her body flushed with excitement as his hands wondered lightly up and down her back, occasionally pulling to her sides.

Slowly Levy felt her feet rise voluntarily, meeting that of the man before her. Her hazel eyes looking directly into his crimson eyes as she pressed herself up against his tall muscular frame she could feel his heart pounding against her own, slowly closing her eyes she moved closer to his face, pursing her silk lips as she met his with familiarity.

Sinking her body into his arms, she moved her hands up his shoulders, moving her hands to grab his long mane that no longer existed. She gave a small giggle as she felt her hands grab air before tussling the short locks. Gajeel ran his hands up her back, attempting to clasp the back of her head as he used to now found himself moving his hand lower down her head to avoid the pony tail.

Neither cared what was happening on the dance floor as several other random couples were equally enjoying each others mouths.

Lucy was busily dancing along to several guys whilst keeping them at bay, she was here to relax not to pick up guys as she drunk the night away enjoying the evening.

Gray and Juvia had moved to a distant corner watching the revellers dance their hearts out, getting a front row seat of Gajeel and Levy in the middle of the dance floor.

Juvia laid her head on Gray's shoulder watching the interaction between the pair. She smiled, happy in thought that Gajeel and Levy still looked perfect together.

In the corner of Gray's eye he caught sight of a man with his phone out recording Gajeel and Levy. Thinking nothing of it he picked up his beer and attempted to drink realising that his wife had wrapped her self up in such a way that he couldn't bend his wrist to pour the liquid into his craned neck. Replacing the bottle on the table he used his free hand to drink, as he looked down at her, still enjoying the happy reuniting of the old couple.


"Gajeel. I.. I don't think this is right."

Gajeel was pressing himself up against Levy as he held her up against the bathroom stall's back wall, kissing the crook of her neck. Nipping her exposed collarbone causing a rush of excitement to fill Levy's body.

"Wait Gajeel please – we're both married" Levy ran her hand through her hair as she tried to think clearly but the way he moved his hands over her body felt exhilarating. Her husband had neglected her body in so long. Only demanding she pleasured him. Rolling over when he was finished causing her to feel empty and hollow.

Gajeel grabbed at her breasts, kneading them. Whilst he busied himself kissing her plump lips hard as he angulated his waist into her open legs that draped around his waist.

With each passion filled kiss, each burning lick of the tongue against her skin she felt her body loosening up, how she missed the man holding her petite body. He knew every button to press on her body.

"Not here Gajeel – Please" She found her self begging the man. Grunting in response he quickly put Levy back onto the ground, as she regained her footing in the poor choice in footwear. He grabbed her hand pulling her towards the back door of the club and out towards his car in the car park.

Levy's heart raced in excitement, was she really going to do this?

All the conflicting thoughts ran through her head. She was married, he was married. He still wanted her, she still wanted him. But she loves her husband. Does he love his wife?

Opening his car door for Levy he allowed her to slide into the front seat carefully as he closed it, quickly skirting around the other side, opening the door and sitting next to her, turning on the ignition without a word to the bluenette. His face was emotionless. Levy tried to read his face in the dark, the once familiar lines now seemed a distant memory. She couldn't read his face any more.


Lucy sat down into the booth next to Juvia and Gray, a large grin sat on her face as she witnessed the couple departing for the back bathrooms.

Juvia lent into Gray's ear, shouting "Juvia is worried about Levy"

Placing a comforting hand onto Juvia's, Gray nodded.

Realising that the couple had left the premises the trio decided to carry on partying, heading down the street to another quieter club where they could hear themselves talk.

Juvia slowly pulled up a cocktail to her lips as she sipped, looking to Lucy, "I'm really worried about Levy, when I saw her at the coffee shop she had a nasty looking burn on her hand, plus it looks like she's been man-handled one too many times..."

Gray kept quiet, watching the other revellers go by, occasionally looking at women when he thought Juvia wasn't looking.

Juvia nodded, putting down her cocktail, "Juvia saw the same thing, do you think it was an accident?"

Lucy thumbed her chin, "It just feels unlikely, I mean she was worried that her husband wouldn't let her turn up this evening."

"What do you mean?" Juvia lent forwards, trying to get more information out of the blonde.

"When I finally tracked her down, at first I didn't believe you two. You told me that she had long hair and piercings, I thought you were honestly joking. I even joked with Levy about her being madly in love and she didn't even smile."

Gray rolled his eyes, "I'm sure she's fine, How can you get so much information out of what short conversation you had?"

Lucy held up her hand, pointing upwards "Its what she didn't say that holds the answers! You'd know that if you were a woman"

The blonde stuck her tongue out cheekily to Gray before Juvia threw her arm in front of Gray's face, shouting "LOVE RIVAL! Don't flirt with Gray-sama!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was just teasing that's all Juvia!" Lucy held up her hands trying to calm down the woman.

"Say you are right Lucy... It doesn't seem as if Levy knows what's going on" Gray took his beer bottle from his lips, causing a small popping sound as he spoke, using his other hand to lower his wife's arm to get a better look at Lucy.

"You say she is worried about her husband, and the fact she disappeared shortly after the marriage to that Eric guy. He seemed nice enough at the time, so I find it highly unlikely that he's got a dark side to him."

"But you said so yourself, she disappeared after the marriage, the Levy we knew would of never lost touch with us." Lucy held her fisted hands on her knees, leaning in earnestly.

"Juvia agrees with Love Rival, she never attended our wedding, even Juvia knew how much Levy wanted to attend, so why didn't she?" Juvia's face sunk as she remembered not hearing a reply from the small bluenette who prior to her disappearance was elated at finding out Gray and Juvia were engaged, determined to throw Juvia a special water themed hen party.

Lucy rolled her eyes at the name love rival instead of her actual name, but then again it couldn't be helped with Juvia, so she let it slide.

"Why don't you just ask Levy?" Gray leant back into the couch as his wife and their blonde friend lent closer to each other still gossiping about the small bluenette.

"Ask her? No, I think we need an intervention or something" Lucy clapped her hands at the idea.

"Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions..." Gray sighed slightly.

"Gray-sama! Juvia thinks this is very important!" She leaned over Gray's slumped body, holding her fists in determination as her lips pouted.

"Natsu's birthday is soon, perhaps we invite Levy and her husband? Now that we've made contact again, it won't be so easy to loose track of her!" Lucy cheered slightly at her plan.

Juvia grabbed Lucy's hands as they gleefully thought about the idea together "Juvia will tell Gajeel to get her number!"
