Here's the little epilogue I promised, it's not very long but I thought it gave a little extra to my original ending.
Enjoy
1 year later.
Levy still remembered the last time she had seen Gajeel…
She had left the royal gardens and gone back to the party. She had pulled Lucy away and said her goodbyes. She didn't like goodbyes… but Lucy deserved one. She had left the palace early the very next morning leaving behind just a letter on by Gajeel's door to promise she'd visit one day and had not seen anyone from the wedding since. She had finished her tour of the Fire Kingdom in that time and moved on to the Ironlands. Finally she had made it to the capital. She was nervous… Maybe he had forgotten her… or moved on in the year she had been away. She approached the gates of the royal palace at a slow pace, her bag hanging from one shoulder. She wore the black, iron studded dress from the morning of the kidnapping game (Lucy told her to keep it) and her hair was gathered messily behind her with the black ribbon with the valuable iron pen sticking from it. Two guards stood at the gate and eyed her warily has she approached. She was about to speak to them and show them the seal on her pen when a flash of black streaked through the sky and collided with her.
"Lily?" Levy asked in surprise as she looked down at the Exceed hugging her.
"Levy!" Lily looked up at her with a grin. "I'm so glad you're finally here!"
"I-It was only a year."
"Right… Gajeel has been irritable for… about seven months." Lily let go and chuckled softly. "So I think everyone will be glad you're here…"
"He's really been that bad?"
"He was alright for a while… in fact when we came back from the Fire Kingdom he was... nice to people, but then as time went by he got more and more irritable. You're the only one that can help."
"Erm… I'm not so sure what I can do but… lead the way." Levy smiled.
"Right… Well this is the quickest way." Before Levy could ask what he meant, the exceed was behind her and grabbing her back and then they were flying. Levy squealed but soon she was enjoying the view. They in to the palace through a window and along the corridors as a fast pace. Eventually Lily put her down in front of a door and nodded at her to let herself in.
Levy inched opened the door and entered. It wasn't the best lit room in the world but it was light enough that Levy could see the room. The walls were made of metal as expected as was most of the furniture. There were piles of scrap metal and half-finished metal sculptures all over the place but what surprised Levy most was the amongst it all were haphazard piles of books. Gajeel was there, in the middle of the room, with his back to the door, working on a sculpture. "Lily… I'm busy go away."
Levy rasied and eye brow at the growled words, he hadn't even noticed her scent… probably had something to do with all the metal in the room. "Well it's nice to see you again too Gajeel." She smirked, placing her hands on her hips.
Gajeel tensed up immediately, she heard him sniff the air and then spin around. In a few seconds she was scooped up in his arms and his nose was buried in her neck. "Shrimp…
She giggled and pat his back. "Hey Gajeel."
"Natsu~" Lucy pranced into the bedroom and flopped onto of her husband with a pile of letters clutched in her hands. "Time to wake up~"
"It's too early Lushy." He complained as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down beside her.
"It's noon Natsu." She giggled, Even after a year and a half she was still hopelessly in love with her lazy, cuddly dragon. "Anyway~ We got a letter from Gajeel."
"What does that metal head want?" Natsu grumbled. "He doesn't write to people."
"How should I know." Lucy rolled her eyes and wriggled her arms free so she could open the letter. Much to her surprise a picture fell out and landed image down on her lap, only to be snatched up by Natsu who examined it and snorted in amusement.
"That makes sense… Gajeel doesn't write." Natsu looked up at his wife who was reading the letter with a smile on her face.
"Nope… but Levy-chan does." She looked down to look at the picture Natsu was holding up, obviously it was Levy's idea as she was smiling happily while Gajeel was hugging her from behind and glaring at the camera.
"Looks like we'll be going to another wedding soon." Natsu grinned.
"Aww~ Good for Levy." Lucy grinned. "We should go and visit!" She declaired.
"Hmm… maybe later." Natsu said before pulling his wife back down to lay beside him in bed. "For now lets sleep some more."
"IT'S NOON!"
