Levy didn't ever think she would get over the height difference when they walked together, he either had to slow down to a crawl or she would literally have to run to keep up with him. After the third try of trying to keep up with Gajeel and his stupid long legs she demanded that he either slow down or carry her.
She didn't think he would actually throw her over his shoulder, she was just kidding, now she was starting to feel like a sack of potatoes. Levy just wanted him to slow down, now she was holding on for dear life hoping he didn't drop her. Not to mention she was in a dress, sure she had leggings on, but they were white so she didn't know how reliable those were.
"Shorty don't ask for a ride and then complain about how it's executed." The way she was acting, people probably thought he was kidnapping her. If she wanted to be lazy and not walk on her own, she shouldn't have been whining about being on his shoulder, she weighed like nothing so it wasn't hard to keep her in place, even with her constant squirming.
"Gajeel! Everyone's going to see my underwear and I'll never forgive you!" God she was whinny, he rolled his eyes, if she was so worried about her panties showing maybe she shouldn't have wore a dress that short.
He was starting to think she liked having her ass out, as short as she was you would think clothes would reach a little farther than that far up her thighs. "You're wearing tights, but if you're that worried about it, I could always check and see if your putting on a show."
He didn't have to look at her to know she was blushing, and there wasn't much intimidation behind her threat of killing him if he dared taking a peek. "Whatever fun sized." She almost forgot that he saw those before, she knew he couldn't see anything right now because her underwear today actually said "short and sweet." Lucy wasn't the only one who bought her funny underwear, so she had quite the collection of sayings and cartoon characters.
Gajeel finally dropped her to her feet, Levy was glad to be vertical again, she brushed down her dress to make sure nothing was showing after her impromptu ride. She didn't know if she was more annoyed that she was carried around like a rag doll, or impressed that he was able to do it without breaking a sweat.
They made it to their destination in half the time with him being able to walk like a normal person and not a child, he was going to ask Levy what she had against milk as a kid, but he decided it would be better to tone down his teasing for the day. "It's a burger joint so you can't do that annoying thing where you order a salad and pretend you're not hungry."
Levy almost laughed at that, she knew a lot of people did that, but she didn't mind stuffing her face and she didn't care who was watching. "Just order me whatever you're getting." Gajeel raised an eyebrow at that, he had at least a hundred pounds in Levy, there was no way she could eat as much as him, even if she was trying. He had a bottomless pit of a stomach, and was actually kicked out of an all you can eat buffet. It didn't help it was him, Laxus, Natsu and Gray competing to see who could eat the most. But they shouldn't have put all you could eat on the sign if they weren't supposed to do it.
Gajeel ended up ordering less food for himself incase he had to finish hers. Levy looked like she ate like a bird, and a combo could usually hold him over for a while. It wasn't that he was cheap, he just hated seeing food go to waste. Gajeel sat across from Levy and was really confused as to where the hell she kept the phone she now had in her hand. "Shrimp? Where the hell were you keeping that thing?"
She didn't have any pockets, and she left her purse at the library and it wasn't like she had it in her hand the whole time. Did she have like a secret compartment in that dress or something. "Oh, it was in my bra."
Did all girls do that shit? One time he watched Erza pull a weapon out her cleavage to put a beat down on Natsu and Gray, that was the same day he decided not to cross her. Or to look at cake in the same room as Erza, that girls sweet tooth made her crazy. "That shit ain't a pocket, what else you got in there?."
Levy slid her phone back into the top of her dress and it practically disappeared. Were bra's fucking black holes or something. She wasn't that top heavy from what he saw, and if he wasn't blatantly staring at her chest he wouldn't have noticed the bulge on one side. "What? It's really convenient, and just boobs... Kinda."
She made a face, the minute she mentioned boobs her mood dropped, must have been a sensitive subject for her. He knew better than to tease her about that, he didn't want to be castrated by a mob of angry women. He knew how girls stuck together, even if he made a comment as a joke it wouldn't have ended well for him. "Anything more than a handful is a waste." He mumbled it, but from the blush on her face, she definitely heard him.
Levy knew Gajeel was up to something, for the last couple minutes he had been drawing on one of the cards they had at the table. She thought it was cute that they provided colored pencils and index cards at the tables and there was a board in the front of the restaurant where you could hang up your creations. Well that was until Gajeel started laughing at whatever he was doing on his card, every time she tried to take a peek he would move his hand so she couldn't see what he was doing. It was driving her insane, she was going to kill him if it was something stupid like her face on a shrimps body. He finally slid the picture over to her, it was a chibi version of herself, it was messy but she thought it was really cute until she saw her butt, she could feel her eye twitch in irritation."Gajeel why is my ass so big?"
Levy knew she fell right into that one when he smirked at her and said "Genetics?" Gajeel finally went to get their food and while he was gone, she took the time to draw her own version of Gajeel. She made sure to draw his piercings and muscles, his stupid smirk, sparkles around his hair and everything else she could think of. When he came back, he laughed at the little version of himself and told her to at least be accurate. "Shorty, I have more than just a six pack. Ask nicely and I'll show you sometime so you can count."
Levy thought she was going to die, all the blood rushed to her face, and she was sure she was about two seconds from a nosebleed. If it wasn't for the smell of food in front of her she was sure she would have passed out from blood loss.
"Shrimp. Knock it off. You don't mess with a mans food." Levy reached over the table again attempting to steal another one of Gajeel's fries, the first couple times he just glared at her. Then he moved on to the threats, now he was slapping her hand every time it inched over to his side of the table. Between her ride on his bike, the trip to the book store, and being carried upside down Levy forgot just how hungry she was. She polished off her fries a while ago, and she was working on her burger, but Gajeel's were just sitting there tempting her and she couldn't help herself.
Gajeel pinned up both of their chibi's, and she was hoping he didn't notice half of his fries were gone. At least he didn't have to worry about Levy starving herself, but he was going to go hungry the way she just kept digging into his food. Tired of fighting her, he just pushed them over to her. His pride was a little hurt that she just out ate him, and was laying in the booth in a full blown food coma. "I'm so full, can't we just lay here for a while." When he was finally done he had a hard time getting her to move.
"I could always just lift you. If you're feeling lazy again." Normally Gajeel wouldn't mind hanging out here a little longer, it was peaceful and it was never too busy. But he wasn't going to tell the shrimp that he sent a picture of their drawings to Juvia, and he had a feeling if they stuck around too long this was going to turn into a double date.
She smiled at him, he knew his threat was about to bite him in the ass. "Piggy back ride?"
