Hi guys! Welcome to the 10th chapter of That Night. This is a slight filler chapter (chapter 12 will drop a HUGE bomb though, so stay posted ;)) and will focus on the morning after. I really hope you enjoy this! Please review your thoughts on the story, and tell me what you might want for the future. Thanks, and enjoy (I already said that, oops)!
Gajeel groaned and pulled the blanket over his head rolling onto his side. He heard a squeak, and something move under him, he leaped out of bed. His eyes scanned the mattress, searching for whatever was there. He saw blue. Gajeel froze, watching as Levy sat up and rubbed her eyes. He knew she wasn't a morning person, and watched as she groaned as the lights assaulted her newly uncovered eyes. His eyes went from her eyes and down her body. The sheets, no longer clinging to her skin, pooled around her hips, exposing her uncovered chest. Gajeel, bright red, cleared her throat, turning his head away. Levy, realizing another person was in the room, shrieked and threw a pillow at him.
"What the hell are you doing in my room!-" Levy looked around, "Where are we?" she asked in a small voice, pulling the sheets to her neck.
"We'll still at Cana's," Gajeel grunted, looking away to hide his flaming face. Levy looked up at Gajeel, horrified.
"Did we…?" Levy asked, motioning to her crotchular area.
"Think so," he curtly replied as he crawled around, looking for clothes. He tossed Levy her top. Levy quickly pulled it over her bed hair, wincing at the lights.
"Oh god. I can't believe we. No, we didn't," Levy began to ramble. Gajeel tossed her her underwear. Levy began to pull them on and shrieked.
"What?!" Gajeel rushed over to her.
"Are those bite marks?" Levy stared at her inner thighs in horror. Gajeel scratched his neck uncomfortably.
"We definitely slept together…" he mumbled. Levy pulled a pillow to her face, trying to muffle her scream of frustration. She removed the pillow at looked up at him.
"This is the worst thing that could've happened," Levy granted. Gajeel sat on the other side of the bed, trying to decide whether or not to encouragingly pat her head. He decided not to, and awkwardly lingered next to her.
"Sleeping with me isn't that bad…" Gajeel mumbled.
"Yes it is! I'm so thankful I can't remember it," Levy exclaimed after pulling on her skirt. She crawled out of bed, looking for her gold flats. Gajeel scowled.
"What's so bad about it?" He snapped. Levy looked up at him, realizing how it must of sounded to him. She smiled uncomfortably
"I didn't mean it like that… I mean… I'm sure the sex wasn't bad or anything… It's just… Well…" Levy choked out. Gajeel's scowl deepened.
"What!?" he spat out.
"I'm not the kind of person sleeps around…" Levy began, "And I don't think I can really stay friends with you after, well... this,"
Gajeel stared at her in shock.
"That's an over reaction Shorty… It was only sex…!" Gajeel moved slightly closer to her, "We can pretend this never happened-"
"It happened!" Levy squeaked, "Please just take me home."
Gajeel nodded at her and pulled on his shirt. Tossing her her shoes and walking towards the door. She scurried after him. They walked down the stairs in silence, getting a wolf whistle from Cana eating at the breakfast bar. Gajeel cringed.
After what felt like hours they arrived at her apartment. Before Levy could even put her key in the door Freed pulled it open.
"Levy! You didn't come home last night! I was worried sick!" Freed pulled her into a motherly hug. His gaze darkened when it landed on Gajeel.
"You!" he pointed at Gajeel who instantly tensed up and balled his fist.
"You took advantage of sweet innocent Levy and blighted her with your-!" Freed began to rant. Levy put a hand to her roommate's chest to calm him.
"We were both drunk. Let's pretend this never happened. Ok?" she said softly. Freed nodded and shot a glare at the piercing covered man in the hallway.
"He's just bitter because Laxus spent the party with Mira, not him," Gajeel sneered. Freed opened his mouth to retort, but Levy shoved him inside their apartment. She lingered at the door, looking at Gajeel.
"That was a low blow, Gajeel," Levy told him.
"Freed was asking for it! He said I fucking blighted you!" Gajeel shouted louder than he expected. Levy sighed.
"Look, Gajeel. We both just need to forget this ever happened," she awkwardly patted his arm. Gajeel nodded at her glumly at her as she disappeared into her apartment, wondering if their friendship could recover from this, or if Levy would shut him out completely.
He wondered if after what bits and pieces he remembered of the night, if he still wanted friendship from the small blue haired dancer, or if he wanted something more, or if she would even consider him that way. After all, it was nothing but a drunken mistake.
Boom! That's the 10th chapter done! Sorry this was slightly later than normal (and that it was shorty and overall more boring that I hoped). It was a struggle to write because I am thinking WAY too far ahead, and am struggling on how to get the characters to the places I want them to go… Well, enough of the negativity! Thank you for reading this! Please review (they mean so much to me) and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
