Okay everyone here's another chapter. Thank you so much for the positive reviews. It really great to see you love the story so far. Thanks for sticking with me so far.

i do not own Fairy Tail. Enjoy ^_^

Normal POV

Rufus had left Levy alone in the library. He was teaching her some scripture magic. When he was done he pat her shoulder saying she was doing better. But Levy felt otherwise. Yes, physically she was getting stronger and better in combat because of Rufus and Orga but she wanted to strengthen her magic. She had read one fourth of the books so far. Each one inspired her more and gave her even more knowledge on her type of magic. But she called it a day and focused on her recent entertainment book. It was mystery novel and it was slowly getting to the climax. The protagonist was in love with mysterious character and she couldn't help but picture the character to be like Rogue. The thought made her blush slighty. He was mysterious and he yet he had something that attracted her to him. His few words even though brief were always honest and to the point. She began to think if maybe he had grown on her but no. it was more than that and she realized when she kept reading the kissing scene of the protagonist and the mysterious crush she had. Levy instantly closed the book.

Levy's POV

I winced at the pain that came from my finger as I shut the book. How on earth did it lead to that point of the story? I thought he would've waited a little more before making his move. Then again she wasn't going to be patient forever either. Then again stories tend to give a bit of twist. Wait. What am I saying? I shook the daze out of my head. I sat there with the book closed and thought of the characters. Especially the mysterious guy. I don't know why I thought of Rogue when I thought of the character. I mean the description of the character was completely different compared to Rogue. Rogue was tall and it made it seem as if looking into his eyes was like looking at red stars in the midnight sky like his black hair. I sighed in a trance as the image of Rogue appeared before me. Another sigh escaped my mouth only this time I heard Rogue's voice. The image spoke to me. Then finally it hit me. It wasn't my imagination. It was actually Rogue.

"Levy?" his voice spoke gently.

"Sorry about that" I felt my ear burn as I turned away.

"Levy Fro was calling you too" Frosch jumped in my arms looking up with big eyes.

"Aw, sorry about that Frosch" I pet the pink suit.

"What were you reading" he asked politely gesturing at the book.

"Oh…umm…another mystery book" I hid the book behind me.

"What's it about" another question.

"Um…stuff…. Mystery stuff" I did not sound convincing at all.

"I see. Will you let me read it next" he innocently smiled.

"…well…I…I'm not sure you'll like this one" why do I sound less and less convincing my face was probably bright red.

"You seem flustered Levy" no kidding. Hey wait don't get closer.

"Do you have a fever" his hand lay flat across my forehead.

"Wha… no…I" the dizziness kicked in when he leaned in closer.

I heard the sound of the shelf behind and turned to where his hand went. He had pushed a book that was out of place.

"Maybe I should take you home" Frosch suggested

Rouge's hand gently brushed against mine as he gestured me to follow. Rogue had never been this close. Except for the Ferris Wheel but even still he never came this close. Not even during training. Rogue would always keep his distance but today he was literally inches away from me. I stumbled because for a few seconds I felt nothing but comfort. In fact I so wanted him to get closer than he did. With each passing second I could feel his breath on my hair making the strand tickle my skin which was already quivering. Anymore closure and I would've melted and I didn't want him to see me that way.

"Sure…" really? That's all I could say.

I went to pick up my things and placed some of the books back into place. As I quickly put each book back one caught my eye. A grey book with platinum edges with a buckle keeping it closed. No title. Definitely have to read this. I stuffed it in my bag and finished up. Rogue and Frosch had helped put some things back and we were finished I was flushed all over again when he smiled at me. What's wrong with me? We left the guild saying goodbye to everyone and walking out. But I felt weird. There were so many girls with heart shaped eyes staring at him. Some even followed us partially.

"Wow. You're pretty popular" I meant is as a compliment but I myself felt a little irritated.

"Fro thinks so too" Frosch watched from Rogue's shoulder.

"It would seem so" he had somewhat proud smile on his face.

'Some of them are really pretty. Have you ever dated anyone of your fans" I was curious to see his response and I didn't like it.

"Well…yes a few of them" his guilty smile made my chest hurt a little.

I had to clear my throat "really?"

"Yes, I've taken some fans out on a date" his voice made irritation was turn into anger little by little.

"So how do you know if they like you a friend or…something else" I asked trying calm down.

"Simple, I study them" my anger disappeared and I was confused.

"How so" I asked raising my brow.

"Well, I look a gestures. Body language is key when studying a person's intention. Like eye contact. I have to ask myself 'is she looking at me straight in the eyes or is she averting her eyes when I stared back at hers' eyes are key" as he said that I averted my eyes as he looked down at me.

"That's interesting" I tried to walk a bit faster but Rogue was tall so he caught up in no time.

"Yes, you'd be surprised. Even shoulder movement gives everything away. Like if her shoulders are stiff and more up than normal I know she's aware of me. Then if she constantly rubs the shoulder strap of her bag to draw my attention away from her red face…well that's given that she's really into me. It's also a sign that I have chance" when reached Minerva's place and I was a stiff as a pole.

He had just pointed out all of my movements. I tried not make any more movement and stood completely still. He gave a teasing smile on his face that made my ear burn. In knew for fact my face was red at this point. He came in closer tilting his head.

"What's wrong" he was definitely doing this unpurpose.

"Fro thinks Levy like Rogue" Frosch made my body turn red.

"Thanksforwalkingmehomeseeyoutomorrow" my sentence sounded like one rushed word as I ran passed the door locking it.

What was that? My heart beat was sky rocketing. Oh no, it can't be true. Can it?

Rogue's POV

Thank goodness Frosch spoke up. Had she turned any redder I wouldn't know what I would've done. Some people may think I'm a sadist for teasing her like that but that was the most masochistic moment I've had. I was staring at her the entire time going down to lips and up to her eyes. I leaned against the wall Frosch looking confused on the ground. I took in deep breaths. Slow and smooth huh? Easy said than done when your mouse is already in the corner wearing an 'eat me' sign. Any more seconds with her and I would've eaten her. They say patience is key but how much of that will I have next time I see her?

Me: so?

Levy: You're on a roll

Rogue: i'm a masochist?

Me: thanks it just came to me

Levy: yeah i could see that

Rogue: um...masochist?

Me: well i need to get on the next chapter

Levy: go for it

Rogue: Masochist

Levy: thanks for sticking around and please review
