What he had never imagined.

Author's note: Chapter 11 ~ gale and lavis chapter. I hope you'll enjoy reading. - EDITED
Gajeel's eyes opened as soon as the light came inside the room. He smirked when he realized that Levy was still sleeping. Her small figure was curled up against him on the bed. He felt happy. Who would have imagined that the day where they could spend a whole night together would come? Certainly not him.
His eyes scanned her small silhouette , he reached up to brush her hair off her face, his touch was gentle and affectionate. When was it that he developed these feelings for her? The answer was still not something that he had. It happened one day and things remained unchanged ever since. He realized that what he felt wasn't one sided but Gajeel didn't feel worthy to be be this girl's lover. Even if something like that would make him happy.
"Shorty Levy." he softly run his finger against her arm then down to her waist to pull her closer to him. An action he wasn't even aware he was doing. His body was moving , literally on it's own.
Levy felt the stir, his touch, and his hot breath against her forehead was what allowed her to open her eyes. "Gajeel?" she uttered his name as soon as she realized what kind of position they were in.
Gajeel acted fast and closed his eyes before she could see that he was awake. Levy shook him gently. "Wake up Gajeel." she softly pushed him away.
Gajeel pretended to open his eyes. "Um?" he pulled away gently and stretched. "Good morning."
"Good morning." her cheeks turned pink and sat up. "I'm hungry."
"Me too. I'd like some iron if possible?" he said smiling cheekily.
"Mou!" she laughed and using her script magic she made iron appear in front of him.
"Ah thank you! Ittadakimasu" he said and started eating the iron. Levy was simply watching.
"I'd like something sweet after this. How about we take our breakfast at some restaurant and then we go back to the guild?" he suggested then ate the iron once again.
"But you know Gajeel...we didn't complete our job..." she mumbled.
"You're right." he felt silly being reminded that they didn't finish their mission. Did that woman take his mind away along with his heart?
"It's okay. We'll eat then go back at the haunted house."
After that Gajeel and Levy set out to take a proper breakfast after they paid the motel for their stay. Their next stop was the restaurant.
"Ne Gajeel, have you heard of Haemi Dvorzak? He is a famous author." she said trying to see if he was even interested in literature as much as she was.
"Ah you mean the author of 'A dragon's soul'?" he asked her while munching on his pancakes.
"Ah you know him. Have you read his books?"
"Only that one. I found it interesting."
"I didn't know you read books..." she said blushing.
"Only if they are interesting." he admitted.
"Have you read a lot of them then?"
"Nah, only five? I haven't exactly had a lot of time available."
"If I asked you to read a book, would you do it?" she asked him curiously.
"Depends. What's the title?" he asked her.
"The Heart of a woman." she said noticing that Gajeel was looking at her curiously.
"Why do you want me to read it?" he asked curiously.
"It's a book that will help you understand women better!" she explained enthusiastically.
Gajeel thought about it for a second. Was she trying to say that he couldn't understand women? He knew that already but he couldn't see how a book would be of any help.
"Is it going to help?"
"Yes! I guarantee it! So will you?"
"Okay. Since you asked so nicely. I will."
"Yay! Excellent."
The two temporary partners finished their breakfast and once again set out to go to the haunted house. That time, both were sure that they would not fall in the same pit that they did last time. But what these two didn't know, was that soon they'd come across something terribly shocking.
"Ne ne ne Laxus. This place has a swimming pool right?" Mavis said as she got up from the bed.
The blond man came inside the room from the window and looked at her strangely. "Yes..." he was afraid of what was to come.
"Let's go swim. My ankle is better too. Ne ne since we don't get to do that a lot, I think we should go swim, have fun and then we go to our client tomorrow?" she suggested linking her fingers together as if to show that she was pleading him to listen to her request.
Laxus looked away from her, it was hard for him to face her after seeing her naked, he found it weird that she didn't show any signs of caring anymore though. But the master had asked a very important question and he didn't feel like denying her. Maybe it was good to take it easy even if it was something petty for him.
"Okay."
A few minutes after Mavis and Laxus were swimming together inside the pool. Mavis was wearing a very nice bikini so to speak , a bikini that definitely showed off her cute figure. They both laughed while swimming. It was truly a blissful moment of happiness and total freedom. However that little moment of enjoyment stopped the moment Mavis decided that it was a good idea to splash water at Laxus.
"Hey!" he splashed water back at Mavis and soon they both engaged in a splashing fight. Maybe Mavis was playful but to the second generation god slayer that was a challenge that he wanted to win. Mavis ended up giving up and getting a last wave of water on her face. "Hey!"
"My win!" Laxus smirked.
"You won because I gave up. You'd have no chance against me in a fight!" she said flipping her wet hair.
"I can see that." he smirked wondering if there was any way that he could actually take advantage of this situation and tease her. "Your bikini top is falling" he pointed.
"Iya!" she dived in the water covering her chest with her hands. Laxus started laughing. When she realized that he was simply teasing she stood up and splashed water at him again. "Shame on you!" she shouted.
Laxus wondered if she got mad at him. "It's not like I'd see something I haven't" it slipped his mouth.
"Mou ii! I'm going to rest." she huffed and came out of the pool, then went to lie down on her towel under the umbrella.
Laxus sighed and came out, he knew he said something stupid now all he had to do was find a way to get his partner's forgiveness. How could an awkward person like him think of something though? And then he remembered how Erza would always be happy when eating something sweet.
He went to the pool bar and asked for two ice creams then quickly he went to were Mavis was, his eyes falling first on her cute bum covered by the red bikini. "Mavis...I'm sorry. I have ice cream?"
Mavis quickly turned around and sat up patting the spot next to her. "It's okay. I shouldn't have gotten mad like that. You didn't say something that was a lie... still it was rude. " she blushed looking at the ice cream cone. He gave it to her trying to give her a warm smile. "I'm sorry. You have a nice body though. I mean, like you know, I don't say it in a perverted way." he stayed silent " Just you know , don't think I was making fun... "
"I know. Forget about it." she nodded her head. "But you know" she started licking the ice cream. "We have to get even so you'll show me your naked body too later." she said in a serious tone.
'Is she serious?' Laxus thought, his face changing to a complete white color.
"Kidding." she grinned. "Maybe..." she took a serious expression again.
Somewhere in his mind Laxus could hear a voice. 'Exactly what of the two is it?!'
