quick short chapter basically just to round up the last one.

Next one will definitely be much longer and -cough- SomeonesGoingOnADate -cough-

excuse any spelling errors; I'll re-read it later as my friend is dragging me out of my house which i've been for the past few days vigorously writing many chapters on this story & my other one that's being worked on right now; plus! I've started on a new Gajevy story all together which i'll post in the upcoming days so follow me if you're interested in that one!

Enjoy~


"Oi, do you understand now?"

Levy watched as Gajeel showed her how to solve the third problem she requested.

"Y-Yes."

She finally snapped out of being enchanted by what he had just done. Apparently there had been more to him than just his rough outer appearance.

"So you went to college?"

Gajeel looked around before answering hoping Natsu wouldn't suddenly pop up like he tended to do at the worst times. He'd definitely reveal the truth to Levy.

"Oh yeah, just a few classes."

He down played the years of devotion he put in not wanting to go into detail while trying to also ignore the gleam in her eyes. Anything related to education was Levy's high and she was more than eager to talk about it.

"So why didn't you continue?"

Levy eagerly asked wanting to know more about this man who obviously was holding back. His usual rough expression didn't usually change yet now it yelled for her not to dig any deeper when he looked back at her.

"I-I'm sorry."

She recanted her question feeling embarrassed, what didn't help was his sudden laughter.

"S-Stop!"

She mustered up before pushing him away.

"Oi, you're the one that asked and then is being mean. Though I'll tell you, not such a big deal. I just…."

For a moment he was confident he moved on from that part of his past and was ready to talk about it but the words just couldn't come out. Her whole demeanor was so caring, something he'd never really experienced. How could she possibly be real?

"I just didn't want to anymore."

"Stop acting like you're going to tell me then not!"

"Can't help it, your expression is too much."

He continued to laugh making Levy just pout.

"Just for that, I'm making you go back and finish."

Levy pictured herself studying with him in her domain – the library and…

"Hell no. Can't go back to all of this."

Gajeel cut in effectively destroying her fantasy as he laughed and pointed to all the books tossed on the floor because of him.

"Pick them up now!"


"P-Practice?"

Lucy slowly inched back giving some space between her and Natsu after being left completely red in the face from what he had just proposed.

"Yeah, if it's to help you."

"But…but…"

"It's just a kiss."

-Just a kiss.

A nerve practically bulged in Lucy's forehead from her hearing such a thing so nonchalantly said. How dare boys say it so easily?! A first kiss should be special and not such pushed into like this.

"No!"

Lucy pushed Natsu away laying her hands on his face effectively making him back up.

"Do you want me to get Gajeel then?"

"NO!"

He teased completely satisfied at her blood curdling scream at essentially rejecting the long haired man. Lucy's loud scream would be heard down the hall clearly into Levy's room.

"Oi, blondie is too loud."

Gajeel complained first from being forced to pick up her books and now having to listen to the blonde.

"Oh, I know."

Levy lifted up an eyebrow looking up at him with a quick smirk.

"Oi, look who's being dirty now."

The pair began laughing at his statement before Levy was quick to clear up the misconception.

"No I'm kidding, Lu is nothing like that."

"So you're the naughty one?"

Gajeel now raised an eyebrow making her laugh once more while shaking her head no. Of course she was different, she had innocence in her eyes yet with a snappy mouth. All in this blue pint sized present too perfect to open.

"I really should go check up on her though."

Concerned, Levy walked into Lucy's room noticing Natsu on the floor from Lucy pushing him down moments before. It honestly was slowly getting stranger and stranger each time she came into her room.

"Are you alright Lu?"

"Yeah of course, don't worry abou—"

"Levy, Luce won't kis-"

Natsu tried to complain to Levy like a child about her rejecting him but before he could finish, Lucy had her hand around his mouth effectively shutting him.

"Hey Lev, did you see the schedule I texted you?"

A beat of sweat ran down Lucy's forehead before trying to distract from what he tried to say.

"Hmm no, I'll go look at it now."

"I'm goin' to lick your hand if you don't let go."

Natsu mumbled into Lucy's hand.

Gajeel finally finished picking up the books he tossed when he found Levy's phone between her blankets. Perfect time to snoop around a bit once more. He unlocked her phone and immediately was face with the picture of him sleeping with Lily.

-W-Why?

He tried to quickly change it before her small footsteps approaching made him panic making him shove it in his pocket.

"Gajeel, have you seen my phone?"

"N-No."

He coughed making the worst poker face.

"Can you call it? I can't lose another one!"

Gajeel hesitated before noticing Levy had it already in her hands searching for her contact name.

"What…what is this?"

Levy found he number under the name 'L – (shrimp emoji).'

At first she hated being called by a pet name but it slowly began to grow on her, yet it would be better if she wasn't compared to a shrimp. Though she had to admit it was a bit funny and chuckle at it, it's just his form of affection.

When she called her number, sound came from his pocket.

"W-Why do you have my phone?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The ringing continued coming from his pocket before she reached in plucking her phone out. She realized he tried to change her background.

"You jerk! It's cute this way."


Levy shut the door after forcing the boys to use it like normal people. They had to practically double bolt the windows before they made their grand exit like stunt men.

Lucy bit her lip trying to tell her what had just happened between her and Natsu.

"Hey Levy…"

"Lu! I have to admit I'm kinda glad you embarrassed me to bring Gajeel to me."

Lucy quickly backpacked on the subject pushing her own situation behind her for a moment. Poking at Levy was just too much fun and it would hurt to miss a perfect opportunity like this. Yet an image of cherry blossom hair prodded.

-Anyways Natsu couldn't like me right? Well it's not like I like him either…

-Have a good night :)

Lucy received a text from Natsu.

-Friendly just friendly.

She stuffed her phone into her pocket ignoring it for a moment to allow Levy to speak. Yet it practically burned a hole in her pocket more and more each second she didn't reply.

-Good night Natsuuu :)

She couldn't resist anymore and quickly replied.

"I'm sorry Lev, what were you saying?"

She nervously said at first feeling bad for ignoring her yet Levy wasn't paying much attention. Consumed by her newfound knowledge she was unable to detect the hesitation in Lucy.

"Oh, I just said there more to Gajeel and…and…"

Levy fidgeted with her fingers looking down shyly saying the last part.

"And it's kinda interesting."

Lucy softly began humming the tune to 'here comes the bride' song behind the blunette as they turned in for the night.


Gajeel and Natsu arrived home while Natsu tossed his keys carelessly onto the end table next to the door.

-"Text me when you get home so I know you're safe."

Levy's sweet voice rang in Gajeel's head.

-"Humph, I'll let her suffer just a little bit."

"Should've just stayed."

Natsu said while yawing already missing Lucy's bed when another image butted in. What came to mind was one of Lucy's flushed face when he leaned in closely offering to kiss her. The pink tone that replaced her pale skin tone was suddenly the cutest thing he'd ever seen.

-Why didn't I just…

Gray suddenly came behind the two draping his arms around their necks sliding in between.

"Hey so you two are finally making your moves?"

The raven haired man laughed before being pushed away by both of them.

"Gray-sama, don't tease Gajeel and Natsu."

Juvia came out of the kitchen with tea prepared placing the tray on the coffee table.

"That's Juvia's job."

Juvia giggled while Gajeel glared at her.

"Don't give Juvia that look Gajeel."

Gajeel snickered before starting to walk away.

"How was work Juvia?"
Natsu sweetly asked oblivious like always to the teasing he'd receive.

"Good! Though Levy and Lucy basically stole all the attention. But all Juvia needs is Gray-sama!"

Gajeel stopped mid walk after hearing Levy's name.

"But I still love Levy, Lucy unfortunately is trying to steal my Gray-sama."

Juvia grabbed Gray's arm as he deflected any suspicions.

"Too bad Juvia doesn't know much about Lucy, only about Levy."

Gajeel began taking a few steps back in order to listen closer.

"Don't worry Juvia, how many times do I have to tell you?"

"I'm sorry Gray-sama."

Gray suddenly picked her up carrying her into his room leaving behind a lonely Gajeel in the corridor. He pulled out his phone not wanting to have her waiting.

-I'm home.


A/N: yup quick one!

next chapter will probably be up either tomorrow or monday; I have it written down just have to type it~

Have a great weekend everyone!

also my own odd note to anyone who is a spanish speaker: I've started reading the fanfics in spanish and omg I'm in love; they're a bit more dramatic than the english ones but i think that's maybe because I read spanish in more of a dramatic voice? Lol I have no idea.

But if you can read in another language and have yet to read a fic in it; DO IT NOW!
