Levy sighed and tapped her foot impatiently waiting for Gajeel to finish in the bathroom. "You take longer getting ready than Lucy!" She yelled through the door.
She heard a chuckle on the other side of the door then rolled her eyes as she heard noise coming from the living room, Lucy must've been opening the front door. She heard it open then close and two voices coming from that direction. "Levy? Gajeel?" Lucy said just loud enough for Levy to hear her.
"Yeah?" Levy walked away from the bathroom door and to the living room where she met up with Lucy and Natsu.
"How was your night?" She removed her bag from her shoulder and hung it on their coat rack with hers and Natsu's jackets.
"It was alright." She said remembering most of it. She had fallen asleep watching the movie with Gajeel, but she woke up alone on the couch. When she had looked around for Gajeel in the morning, he was in the kitchen cooking a breakfast for them.
"Nothing happened?" She asked walking past Levy down the hall.
Levy watched her friend and shrugged "We watched movies all night." She said.
"Boring." Lucy said. Levy heard the bathroom door open and Gajeel walked into the living room and smirked at her. "Anyways, I hope he can keep you company a little longer, Natsu and I need to go meet up with Wendy, Gray, and Erza."
"Gihi, of course." Gajeel said making eye contact with Levy. She blushed, but neither Natsu nor Lucy noticed, which Levy was thankful for.
"Alright well then we should get going again." Lucy said walking out in a different set if clothes from before. She smiled and Natsu handed her her coat and slipped his back on. "See you two later!"
Levy smiled at them and they walked out the door. As soon as the door closed Levy turned around into Gajeel. She gasped and he smirked down at her.
"G-Gajeel!" She yelled. "Personal sp-pace." She blushed brightly pressing her hands against his chest and he pulled her closer.
"Aw come on, shrimp." He whined, "I ain't seeing any point in hiding it."
Levy sighed, "My job." She whispered allowing him to pull her into a hug. "This sucks." She mumbled.
"Then let's be unofficially official." He suggested.
"Wh-what?"
"To us, we're somethin', but to others, to others we are only student and teacher."
Levy sighed and hid her face in his chest so he couldn't see her blushing any longer, "But what if someone finds out?"
"They ain't gunna unless you tell blondie."
"I won't." She shook her head and looked up at him. He looked down at her and their eyes met. "But after you graduate, we are going to be official to everyone... after about a month to be safe." She smiled.
"I'm good with that." Gajeel leaned down and kissed her. As soon as their lips met, Levy returned the kiss. When they pulled apart she hugged him tighter than she already was and smiled happily into his chest. "But shrimp?"
Levy glared up at him, "Hm?"
"If ya ever feel it's too much of a risk for ya, just tell me? Then I can really wait until I am done with school." He smiled down at her with the sweetest smile she'd ever seen anyone make.
Levy nodded, "I will." She replied.
A week and a half later...
Levy sighed and rolled over in her bed. School was starting in a few days and she really wasn't sure how she was going to hide her feelings towards Gajeel while trying to teach him and his classmates. This was something her and Gajeel hadn't thought about, because she honestly didn't think it would be a problem. It was easy hiding it from Lucy and Natsu... but a class full of people while he's in her view for an hour? Now that was a different story.
Levy growled and buried her face in her pillows. "Life isn't fair." She mumbled to herself. She peeked out at the clock, 3 a.m. Where did the time go? How long has she been sitting there thinking about the fact that she was bad at hiding her feelings when he was around? Especially now since she had stopped denying them.
"Stop thinking about it, Ms. McGarden." She told herself. She sat up and sighed. "I'll just go watch TV until I fall asleep. THAT doesn't see like a bad idea." She got out of bed and walked quietly towards the living room when she realized Lucy's door was opened and she couldn't hear her sleeping. (Lucy had a slight snore when she slept.)
"Lu?" She stepped into her best friend's room and realized she wasn't in there. Levy frowned. She didn't tell me she was going to Natsu's to stay the night.
Levy was feeling alone now. The fact that she knew she was in an empty apartment scared her, since she really wasn't used to be alone anymore. Sure, she and Gajeel had only been together for about a week and a half, but during that week and a half, whenever Lucy went over to their apartment, Gajeel stayed with her. Why hadn't he come over that night?
And that's when Levy got really nervous. What if he wanted nothing to do with her? Or what if he had gotten hurt on the way over? What if Natsu and Lucy found out and were asking him all sorts of questions? Levy finished walking to the living room and threw herself onto the couch.
"Smart girl problems!" She yelled into the couch pillow. She closed her eyes and curled up in a blanket laying across the back of the couch. She fell asleep shortly after her mind finally decided to shut down for the night.
