Last chapter...mah, how sad:( This story didn't turn out how I planned, but none of them ever do. I'm just not good with keeping the mood serious— I don't like serious things— but when the plot came to mind, I really wanted to try it. And while it didn't turn out right, I think I've had worse stories before. And of course, it's a learning experience. I still got great feedback from all of you and I can't say I'm not happy. So, as a conclusion, I give you the long awaited lemon! And I'll warn you now, I'm not good at writing lemons either XD Characters WILL be OOC, since...I mean...Fairy Tail characters don't have sex. We have no idea what they would actually be like, so we have to guess. Gajeel is already hard to write, so this is really gonna be a challenge. Hopefully I don't completely fail!

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.

The party had continued on into the night and showed no signs of stopping, so Gajeel and Levy left when they just couldn't take the noise any longer. Pantherlily had insisted on staying and was acting strange, sending Gajeel funny looks. And Gajeel had been acting even stranger all night. He was happy at first, having a few drinks and arguing with Natsu. He even patted Laxus on the head— something he had only done once before. But then someone had said something that seemed to change his mood completely. Levy couldn't remember who said it, she hadn't been looking, but she knew it hit a nerve within the dragon slayer.

"I'm glad that bastard is dead. He was a monster, I wish you would've torn him up some more, Gajeel! Man, you must've looked like an animal, good for you!"

That's what they had said. And after that, Gajeel had been too quiet. That angry scowl that he always use to wear was back in place and refused to go away. Even as they entered his house, he didn't say a word. He merely kicked off his shoes and went straight into his room, flopping onto his bed with a sigh. Levy cautiously entered a moment later, gently crawling up to lay next to him. She pretty much knew what was wrong, but wondered if saying something would make him angrier. But she couldn't leave him like this, could she?

"He was a terrible person, you know. Killing him was the right thing to do. It doesn't make you a bad person or anything. You're not an animal, so forget what that guy said." She said in a soft voice, noticing how he tensed up.

"Who said I was thinking about it?" He asked in a slightly irritated voice. Levy just shrugged.

"I just assumed. You've been quiet ever since he said that, so it makes sense. But if that's not it, then what is it?" She asked. Gajeel was quiet for a moment, probably trying to think of a lie. In the end he sighed, knowing that she knew him too well and that he couldn't lie to her.

"I know he was a monster...and I wanted him to die, I really did. I don't wish he was still alive or anything...it's just, I don't feel any better. I do feel like an animal...for killing him the way I did. I just...I don't know." He sighed again, not knowing how to explain what he felt inside.

"Well, it's good that you feel this way. If you were truly happy right now for killing another human being, you wouldn't be any better than him. But if you keep focusing on the negatives, you'll just go back to being depressed and angry all the time. You need to see the good in what you did." Levy said, rolling onto her side to look at Gajeel. He turned his head to look at her curiously.

"Oh yeah? How is what I did good?"

"Well, for one, he can't keep trying to kidnap me. I'm grateful to you for that. Plus he won't bother you anymore about joining Phantom Lord. And you have to remember how much he loved hurting other people. All of those girls he made you kill...well, I can't say for sure, but I feel like he continued doing those things on his own, or made other guild members do it. And now he can't do that. So not only did you save me, but you saved a lot of townspeople too."

"How the hell do you think like that? Isn't it...kind of like denial? I don't know if I can make myself ignore the ugly truth of it all." Gajeel said, looking back up at the ceiling. Levy sat up suddenly and leaned over, making him look at her.

"It's not denial. You'll always know both the positives and the negatives, but ignoring the bad part is just a healthy way of thinking. It's like...when we first met. The negatives were that you destroyed our guild and pinned us to a tree. But the positives are you made our guild closer and eventually became part of our family, and now we're together. If you would have never attacked us, me and you wouldn't be together right now." Levy explained.

"I guess...that's true. It sounds kinda fucked up, but it's still true."

"Exactly. And by killing Jose, you saved many lives, and gave us the chance to continue being together. So don't be so negative!" She said with a dazzling smile, making Gajeel laugh slightly and pull her down, crushing her in a hug.

"You're really something else, you know that? There's nobody else like you out there, shrimp." He said, laughing as she slapped his arm.

"Quit calling me that! You're ruining the moment!" She said, though her voice was muffled by his chest.

"Eh? What moment, shrimp? I didn't realize we were having a moment." He said with a perverted smirk, laughing evilly as she slapped him again.

"Stupid Gajeel! Don't say things like that." She said, escaping his grasp with a huff.

"Gihi, I'm just kidding! Don't get so mad, sh— I mean...Levy." He said, stopping himself as she sent a warning glare at him.

"Oh! I forgot to ask, where's Lily?" She suddenly remembered the black Exceed staying behind, but she didn't know why. Gajeel's face turned the slightest shade of pink.

"Uh...he said he wanted to stay longer...to talk with Happy and Carla. That's all."

"Oh. So he won't be back for a while?" She asked, flopping back down into Gajeel's arms.

"Not for a very long while..." Gajeel said, blushing more.

That damn cat...when did he get so perverted? He told me he'd stay at the guild to give me and Levy...alone time. The little bastard even winked at me! What does he think I'm gonna do?! I mean, there's a lot I could do...fuck, don't start thinking about that!

"Well then, I'm gonna get changed into something more comfortable." Levy said, slipping out of bed and into the bathroom. Gajeel gulped.

I wonder why Lily wanted to stay behind? Levy wondered as she changed. Now it's just me and Gajeel. Maybe...that's what Lily wanted?! That little pervert! It's not like we're gonna do that! I mean...we could...but do I really want that? So soon? We just barely got together...but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it. He's the only guy I'd ever give it to. And...it is the perfect chance. Hmm...

Levy thought it over as she brushed her teeth, simultaneously looking over her nightclothes. It was a silky night dress, with spaghetti straps and a low collar that exposed most of her breasts, which were pressed close together from the built in bra. The color was a soft purple, nothing too flashy.

I sure picked the right outfit...

She let her hair down, messing it up slightly to give it a sexy tousled look. Looking down, she realized it reached around the middle of her thighs, showing off her legs. She wondered if it was too much.

Does Gajeel even want this? He's acting kind of nervous...maybe he's not ready? Oh, listen to me! I just lectured him about thinking negative, and now I'm doing the same thing! I've just gotta be confident and go for it! If anything, I can just pretend like I didn't realize what I'm wearing! That's it, I'm doing this!

With a little spray of perfume and one last glance in the mirror, Levy confidently opened the door and walked back into Gajeel's room, ready to see his reaction. He had already changed into a muscle shirt and some sweats, looking relaxed in his bed. He suddenly smelled something extremely good and looked up, his eyes rounding immediately. Standing before him was the most enticing thing he had ever seen in his life. His eyes took in everything. Her long, creamy legs, her curves which were being hugged perfectly in that dress, her small breasts which weren't so small anymore, and her perfect face which was framed by her loose, flowing blue hair. She looked like an angel.

A damned sexy one, at that...

He realized he was staring and blushed, quickly excusing himself to go wash up. Levy climbed into bed and layed on her stomach, contemplating her next move.

The way he looked at me...was so amazing! I've never seen such a hungry look in his eyes. I guess the outfit worked...but what now?

Meanwhile, while Gajeel brushed his teeth, his mind was going insane.

She looks so fucking hot! Does she realize what she's doing to me?! I have to stay calm and keep control. She probably doesn't want to do anything like that yet. But...what if she does? What if she dressed like that on purpose and she does want it?! It is the perfect opportunity...wait a minute...

He paused, eyes widening as he dropped his toothbrush.

Do I have condoms?!

He frantically began digging through the drawers in his bathroom, throwing things everywhere.

I have to have at least one! She's smart, there's no way she'll do it unprotected! And I don't want to knock her up! Shit, why don't I have condoms?!

He then found a little piece of paper with Pantherlily's handwriting.

"Dear Gajeel, if you're looking for condoms, their in the drawer by your bed. I made sure you had some since Levy will be staying here. You're welcome. That little shit!" Gajeel yelled, blushing furiously and crumpling the note up. He then stormed out of the bathroom, soon forgetting about his anger as he saw Levy on her stomach, facing away from him.

Oh...that ass...wait— stop it! I have to keep some control here!

He slowly layed back down, the sexual tension already driving him crazy. It only got worse as Levy snuggled up to him, placing her head on his shoulder. The sweet scent of her hair flooded his nose, making him see stars for a moment. With a gulp, he began gently running his nails up and down her arm, noticing how it gave her goosebumps. She then began to rub his chest and stomach, lazily going up and down the chiseled expanse of his torso. The urge to touch each other was unbearable, and both were having a hard time avoiding more intimate places. Every time Levy's hand reached the waistband of his pants, she had to force herself not to go lower. And whenever Gajeel reached her wrist, which was too close to her ass, he had to resist grabbing it. Naturally, the room soon became hot. Gajeel felt his will power crack as she looked up at him with her big doe eyes.

"It's so quiet without Lily." She said, fighting the urge to look at his lips.

"Yeah, it's nice ain't it?" He replied, his hand reaching up to lightly scratch her scalp. She smiled and nodded, her own hand reaching up behind his head and gently gripping his black mane. Before either knew what was happening, they were leaning in, until the gap between their lips closed. It was slow at first, just an innocent kiss, until they decided it was time to speed things up. Gajeel slipped hos tongue out, letting it slide across Levy's lip. He could hear the slight intake of breath, before she gingerly opened her mouth for him. Their tongues met in a slow, sensual dance, making both of their hearts pound within their chests. After the initial nervousness wore off, Levy let her tongue take the lead, sliding it over the top of Gajeel's. Kissing someone like this was foreign to her. She never knew how soft a tongue could be, especially Gajeel's. Everything about the man was rough. But his tongue was so...smooth. She couldn't help but let her own appendage glide over it, relishing in the utter amazingness and...was that metal she just tasted?

"A piercing?" She asked, breaking the kiss to look at him with wide eyes. Gajeel smirked before sticking out his tongue, showing Levy the small round stud.

"I've got others, too, if you wanna see." He said, grinning as Levy blushed. In all honesty, she did in fact want to see. The fact that there was still so much about him that she didn't know was driving her crazy. She wanted to learn every inch of him, memorize him inside and out.

"Show me." She said, taking herself and Gajeel by surprise. Only Gajeel could make her feel so confident. Even if she was blushing like crazy, she was serious, and after his shock wore off he was happy to oblige. Levy could only stare as he pulled his shirt off, eyes glazing over as they scanned over every muscle. Gajeel had the perfect body— strong yet lean at the same time— which is exactly how Levy liked it. However, she did notice the lack of piercings, which meant that if he did have more...they were somewhere under his pants.

"Still wanna see?" Gajeel asked, smirking at the nearly drooling Levy. Though he looked and sounded confident, somehow Levy could feel he was nervous. Maybe not as nervous as she was— this was Gajeel after all— but it was still there.

"Yes...I-I mean...if it's okay, of course..." She said, looking away as her face erupted once again in a blush. Her eyes immediately snapped back up as he unzipped his pants and started pulling them off.

Oh my...this is really happening, isn't it? Does he...really trust me this much? I mean...we both know where this is going. And it's clear we both want it...but it's still a little hard to believe. There's no turning back though...and I don't want to turn back. I want this. I...oh my...

Levy couldn't tell if her jaw dropped or not. She was too focused on Gajeel's nearly naked form. While she had no idea what was underneath his boxers, she could see the line of studs going down the outer sides of his legs.

"I think it's your turn, ne? I mean, this isn't exactly fair." Gajeel said, smirking at Levy's face. She looked down for a moment, as if forgetting she even had clothes on, and blushed even more. While it was adorable, Gajeel felt like she might need some reassurance.

"Oi...you know it's alright if you don't want to, right? I ain't forcing you to do anything you're not comfortable with." He said, cupping her chin so she would look at him. Hearing him say that with a straight face did make her feel better, and any previous doubts went away.

He has already seen me naked...right? This isn't any different...I guess.

"I know, and I am comfortable. I just...I'm not used to this. But I do want it, okay? I...maybe you could just, help me?" She said, and for a second Gajeel didn't understand what she meant. That is until she got on her knees and grabbed his hand, placing it on the strap of her dress. Then it clicked.

Oh..hell yes!

With a grin that he assumed looked perverted, he pulled down one strap, guiding it past her arm. He repeated the action with the other strap, and then slowly pulled it down, noticing how her breathing picked up. He paused, looking at her curiously. Maybe she had gotten nervous again and didn't want it? But no, she did in fact want it. He didn't see nervousness in her eyes, he only saw lust. So he swiftly pulled down her dress, pushing her onto her back and throwing the garment across the room. Levy squealed at the sudden action, covering her chest as a reaction.

"Gajeel!" She exclaimed, pouting as he laughed at her.

"What? I'm just doing what you told me. Now come here, I ain't finished." He said, hands reaching for her underwear. He belatedly noticed they were the same ones that had landed on his head days ago, when Levy had been packing at her house.

"Ah ah! I don't think so! Why should I take mine off first?" She asked, glaring at his boxers.

"Cause...well...I don't know, just cause?" He tried, shrugging innocently. Levy shook her head and pointed at his boxers.

"Take yours off first."

"What? No way! That's totally not fair." Gajeel replied, gripping his boxers as if they would suddenly fly off.

"What's the matter? Scared?" Levy said, grinning as Gajeel sneered at her.

"Not a chance. I ain't going first though." He said, crossing his arms defiantly. Levy sighed.

"Fine. We'll do it at the same time, alright?" She said, climbing back onto her knees to face Gajeel.

"Hmm...fine...but I get to take yours off!"

"And I'll take yours off. Ready?" Levy said, grabbing the waistband of his boxers. Gajeel did the same, his rough hands nearly tearing the delicate fabric of her underwear. Before she could even process what happened, Gajeel had pulled down the last shred of fabric covering her body and once again flipped her onto her back.

"G-G-Gajeel?!" She shrieked, hastily moving to cover herself. Gajeel wasn't having any of it though, and quickly pinned her hands above her head.

"You...you're..." Gajeel said, eyes taking in the sight before him. He knew Levy was beautiful, and he's seen her naked before, but not like this. Like this...she was just...perfect. He couldn't ask for anything and wouldn't change a thing.

"You're beautiful." He said, leaning down to capture Levy's lips in a breathtaking kiss. Their tongues clashed once again, this time with more passion and need, as Gajeel climbed on top of her. With their bodies pressed together like this, he could feel her chest pressed against his own, and feel her rapid heart beat. His own body was on fire, and he got lost in the moment as his lips traveled down to her neck. He would leave marks, that was for sure. As he went to move down to her chest, a tug on his boxers stopped him.

"Gajeel...it's not fair..." Levy said, sounding breathless. Without even a second thought, he yanked his boxers down and kicked them off, quickly returning to the task at hand. His eyes widened however as he was suddenly flipped over, and Levy sat on his knees.

"You got to see me, now I get to see you." She said, smiling at his confused face. He grinned confidently as her eyes widened, staring straight at his already hard member.

So that's what it looks like...Oh my...

"Like what ya see?" He said, giving his hips a little shake. Levy blushed more, and decided not to trust her voice. Instead, she leaned down and reconnected their lips, her hands roaming down his chest.

"I'll take that...as a yes..." He said between kisses, his own hands gripping her sides. When Levy started kissing his neck, that grip tightened. And when he felt her lick his neck all the way up to the spot behind his ear, he snapped and flipped her over so he was on top. Gajeel then began to lick and suck on her neck, moving down until he finally reached her chest.

"G-Gajeel!" Levy gasped as he found the peak of one of her breasts, taking the pink nub into his mouth and licking it. Her back arched as pleasure shot through her, and her hands entangled themselves in his hair. She moaned wantonly as he moved to the other mound, teasing her until she was a moaning, panting mess. She writhed beneath him, her lower body happening to brush against his erect member. The slight contact sent a jolt of pleasure through him, causing a low groan to slip out. Levy's eyes widened at how amazingly sexy it sounded, wondering how just a mere groan could turn her on. She bit down on the juncture between his neck and shoulder, the need for something more becoming unbearable. The heat between her legs was driving her crazy, and she could feel how moist it already was. It was something she had never felt before, or at least not like this. She needed friction...stimulation...but Gajeel seemed content with torturing her. She would have to take matters into her own hands then.

She opened her legs and moved her hips off of the bed, causing Gajeel's thick erection to rub against the center of her sex. The action caused both to gasp and release a satisfied moan, and Gajeel realized that he too needed more. Levy seemed just as ready as he was, but he supposed he should check.

"Levy...are you sure you want this? I mean...you've never done it before, right?" Gajeel asked, even though he knew the answer. His shrimp was as pure as they come.

"N-no..never...and I know it's going to hurt, but..I'm ready." She said, giving Gajeel a sincere smile.

"Alright then, I promise I'll be gentle." He said, positioning himself at her entrance. He then belatedly remembered something.

"Erm...wait, shouldn't I...?"

"I'm on birth control, Gajeel. Erza made everyone old enough at Fairy Hills get it." Levy said, as if she read his mind. Gajeel sighed in relief. He really didn't want to put a condom on right now. Levy giggled and kissed him, urging him to continue. It didn't hurt at first, it was just slightly uncomfortable. The feeling of being stretched so much was new, and Levy didn't know what to think. But as Gajeel pushed deeper, it started to hurt. The fact that he was big really didn't help, nor did the studs going down the sides of his cock. But it really did hurt when he reached her thin barrier.

"Ready?" He asked, fighting the primal urge to just pound into her. She was so tight and warm around him, it drove him crazy.

"R-ready." She nodded, wincing as he pushed more. She cried out as her virginal wall broke, her nails digging into his shoulders. He kissed her tenderly, silently telling her it's okay. Once he was fully sheathed, he paused, giving her a moment to adjust.

"Are you okay?" He asked quietly, as if talking loudly would break her. She smiled weakly and nodded, kissing him to prove her point.

"You can move now." She said, biting the inside of her cheek as he pulled out slowly. It would take some getting used to, but it wasn't so bad. And seeing Gajeel be so gentle was heart warming. Once he was nearly all the way out, he pushed back in, this time a little faster. Levy gasped as the pain started fading, letting a new feeling emerge. As Gajeel started going faster, she found herself panting, wanting more of the delicious friction. Gajeel seemed just as wanting as her, obviously holding back so he wouldn't hurt her.

"Gajeel...you can go faster..." She said, moaning as he happily obliged. He gently bit her neck, licking up to the shell of her ear. She could hear him breathing, the pace matching the thrusts of his hips. As he went faster, Levy bit her lip at how amazing it felt, her nails raking down his back. Gajeel moaned from the feeling of it, his pace increasing. He snaked his hands up to her chests, squeezing and toying with them. Levy's back arched again, moaning slightly louder. This only spurred Gajeel on, his hips snapping forward faster. Something in Levy was growing, building up inside at an incredible pace. She felt like the tight coil in her lower stomach was about to snap, and quickly sought out Gajeel's lips, her moans becoming higher and faster. She clawed at Gajeel's strong back, each moan and groan coming out of his mouth drawing her closer to the end.

"G-Gajeel! Please!" She said breathlessly, wanting to feel the blinding pleasure of release. Hearing her say his name with such need was enough to make Gajeel pound into her, his own release not far off. When Levy suddenly threw her head back and her feminine walls clamped down on him, Gajeel lost it. The sight of her finishing was perfect for Gajeel. Her mouth opened as she cried out, her eyes closed and eyebrows furrowed. With only a few more thrusts, Gajeel felt himself cum, his body tensing. He buried his face in her neck, releasing a long, low groan of utter pleasure, letting the last of his seed shoot out before collapsing on top of her. They stayed like that for a long moment, panting heavily, before Gajeel rolled off. Levy didn't say a word as she curled up in his arms, running a hand through her damp hair.

"How do you feel?" He asked after regaining his breath, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"I feel amazing." She said, making Gajeel laugh.

"Good to know, shrimp." He replied. Levy weakly slapped his chest, too tired to really care.

"How can you still call me that after what we just did?" She asked, looking up at Gajeel when he didn't answer. She heard him gulp, before saying four words she never expected him to say.

"Because I love you."

Levy couldn't describe how utterly happy she was at that moment. She wrapped her arms around him, nearly squeezing the air from his lungs.

"I love you too, Gajeel."

"Che, I know you do, shrimp! Now quit trying to kill me!" He managed to wheeze out, laughing as she quickly released him and then yawned. "Eh? You tired already? Tch, what about round 2?"

"Shut up, stupid Gajeel..." She replied, already dozing off. Gajeel was just too warm and comfortable.

"Gihi, goodnight, shrimp. We've got a big day tomorrow." Gajeel said, closing his eyes.

"Mm? What's tomorrow?" Levy asked sleepily, too tired to open her eyes.

"We're going to get the rest of your stuff. You're moving in tomorrow." He replied with a smirk. Levy paused for a minute, processing what he said. Then she smiled.

"We're going to need a bigger house for all of my stuff, Gajeel."

"Baby steps, shorty, baby steps."

Aaaaaaand...end! Yeah, that's how it ends. I know. I'm awful. But it's three in the morning and I'm tired. Besides, an ending like that leaves room for a sequel, ne? Yes...someday in the future I'll write a sequel. Again, you all deserve cookies for sticking with me on this one. It was an adventure, that's for sure. I've got a lot of learning to do, and hopefully someday I'll be able to write a story and have it come out the way I want. But until then, I've got stories like this, which aren't too bad. It got great reviews, so it can't be all bad, right? Now, I need sleep. I'll post this tomorrow, and then probably start thinking of a new story. I've already got something in mind...and it's another GaLe! Yaaaaaay! But until then, I'm done.
