Hello, everyone :D

I'm back with the fourteenth chapter which is a bonus chapter !

I actually read back all of my previous chapters and I realized my previous chapters are really messed up in the font's format. Some words are not italic, then in the next chapter those same words are italic. And not to mention my sometimes-weird-grammar ._.

But anyway, it's a good reminder for me to make sure everything I typed is perfect and to keep writing to perfect my grammars. I do want to re-update all the chapters, but I decided to keep the chapters as original as possible. I mean, let the mistakes be there as a reminder for me to do better in my upcoming fics *hehe*

This time, as always, I hope you enjoy your reading :D

Levy stood in front of her mirror and gave herself a good stare. She put her hands on her hips and sighed. She brought her hands up to her covered chest and let out another sigh. Well, her chest was there but at the same time it wasn't there. She looked down to it and saw her tiny hands were covering the bra.

Her mind wandered to a pair of big hands—much, much bigger than her own—and she blushed. She quickly shook her head to get rid of the thought and turned her body around to face her own bed.

Or what would be her bed anyway, because her bed didn't look like a bed anymore. Not with all of her clothes lying there. Upon seeing her clothes, Levy sighed again.

"What am I doing..." she grumbled.

Levy sat down on the floor and leaned her back to her bed. She gave another stare at her own reflection on the mirror. A petite blue-haired young lady who was only in her undies.

After a good minute stare, Levy sighed again. She hung her head low and covered her face.

For the first time in her entire life, Levy McGarden actually cared about how she looked.

After a few minutes of silence, Levy opened her face and looked at her own reflection once more. She then fisted her hands and stood up.

"Okay! Let's do this!" she pumped herself out.

She then fished her phone out and dialed a number.

"Hello? Lu-chan? Can you please help me?"

"Levy-chan?" Lucy knocked.

"Coming!"

Levy opened her apartment door and let Lucy in.

"So, what is this urgent business you're talking about?" Lucy asked.

"In my room."

Lucy raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. She walked to Levy's room and opened the door. "Whoa. Okay, I get it."

Levy entered and sighed. "I don't know how many times have I sighed already." Levy mumbled. "Lu-chan, I really, really need your help."

"You're desperate, aren't you?" Lucy chuckled.

Levy nodded and opened her pajamas. "Now, tell me, what clothes should I wear?"

"Well," Lucy opened her coat and Levy choked upon seeing her full chest. "let's start with a favorite color. What color does he like? Cute undies, by the way."

Upon hearing Lucy's question, Levy gasped. "H—he?" she stammered.

Lucy raised an eyebrow and looked at Levy. "Well, yeah. It's Gajeel, isn't it?"

Levy's face went into full blush upon hearing the name. "W—what? H—how—how on earth did you know...?"

Lucy scoffed. "You're the one who told me he got your attention the minute you laid your eyes on him."

"B—but—but, how did you know I'm in this pinch because of him...?" Levy asked in embarrassment.

"Levy-chan, I don't have to be a full-fledged psychologist to know that the reason you're fussing about what kind of clothes should you wear is because you're having a date with a guy. Moreover, it's the guy you like." Lucy chuckled.

"D—d—d—d—date?" Levy stuttered.

"What? Don't tell me it's not because I know it is." Lucy replied.

"N—n—not exactly..." Levy mumbled. "He only asked me to see a movie with him."

"That's pretty much a date to me." Lucy shrugged.

"B—b—but, you and Natsu also often watch movies together! And it's not a date!" Levy stammered. "Or can it be called as a date? You guys are so close after all."

Lucy laughed. "He's been my date since I was a baby, Levy-chan." she said jokingly. Anyway, let's get back to you. What is Gajeel's favorite color?"

"I—I don't know..." Levy sighed. "Black?"

"Hmm..." Lucy put a finger on her chin. "Then I suggest you wearing something that can complement that."

"Black?" Levy asked.

"No! Are you two going to a funeral or something?" Lucy laughed. "Let's try this white long sweater with this black legging. Here, try it on."

Levy took her clothes from Lucy and put them on. She then stood in front of her mirror and beamed with excitement. "This looks good, Lu-chan!"

Lucy also gave a stare from up to bottom then shook her head. "Nah, too simple. You need to wear something memorable for your first date."

"What did you wear when you had your first date with Natsu, Lu-chan?" Levy asked.

Lucy laughed. "Pajamas," she answered. "Natsu took me to my roof to see the stars when we were in second grade. In the middle of the night. Because he couldn't sleep. Thank goodness we didn't catch a cold."

Levy also laughed. "So totally Natsu."

"Here, try this." Lucy handed out a piece of orange summer dress. "Leave the legging on."

Levy changed her sweater with the dress. "Oh, I love this!"

"Hmm..." Lucy gave another good stare. "Nope, still too simple. Let's see... Aha! White cardigan with this orange tanktop. Keep the legging on and try this, Levy-chan!"

Levy nodded her head and changed once more. "Oh, I really love this one!"

Lucy stared at Levy and nodded her head. "Yeah, I think this will be enough. Now, for the shoes and the bag."

Levy gasped. "I—is that necessary?"

"Of course! You have to be perfect, Levy-chan." Lucy chuckled while rummaging through Levy's collections of shoes and bags.

"Oh, that heels looks cute!" Levy said.

Lucy shook her head. "You have to be comfortable in your first date. You don't want to have any blister on your feet because of the shoes, right?"

"...Right." Levy nodded. "Did Natsu scold you because you had a blister on your feet on your first date, Lu-chan?"

Lucy laughed. "You're right. He scolded me for a the rest of the day. I was pissed of actually, because those were new shoes and I really wanted him to see."

Levy snorted. "I do really wonder why the two of you are not in a relationship."

Lucy's breath hitched by Levy didn't notice it. "W—well, being best friends doesn't necessarily means—aha!"

Lucy handed out a pair of brown ankle-length boots. "Try this one!"

Levy put the shoes on and her smile went wide. "Oh, wow! I know you can help me, Lu-chan!"

"And don't forget your bag," Lucy handed a bag with golden chain. "there! You're now ready and perfect for your first date!"

"What about my hair, Lu-chan?" Levy asked.

Lucy smiled. "Be comfortable for your first date," she winked. "I think a ponytail will be sufficient to make his heart skips."

Levy threw herself to hug Lucy tight. "Thank you, Lu-chan!"

Lucy laughed and patted her back. "You're welcome. By the way, how did Gajeel ask you out?"

At her question, Levy let herself go and stared at Lucy with her eyes twinkling. "It was the most romantic invitation ever, Lu-chan! You know, he came to me this one fine day and asked me to teach him how to solve some math problems I gave his class earlier as a homework. Can you believe it? A punk like him—well, he does look like a punk! A very handsome punk, you know!—actually wanted to study! I was so happy! I am happy because he wanted to learn and I am happy because I got to spend my time with him!"

Lucy smiled softly upon seeing Levy's love-struck face. She seemed so happy with Gajeel, Lucy wished the best for the two of them. Moreover, Gajeel seemed to like her genuinely as well. Lucy knew Levy had had issues about her figure—especially her chest *cough cough*—for a long time. Levy might think she didn't notice it, but Lucy knew she would always instinctively covered her chest whenever Lucy was out shopping clothes with her. Lucy had always told her that it didn't matter whether she had a big or small chest to the guy who genuinely loved her. Levy doubted that for a long time, to the point she didn't care about how she looked. Until she met Gajeel who took her as she was. And Lucy was really grateful for that. Seeing Levy's happiness made her happy too.

"Then, then," Levy's cheery voice snapped Lucy back into the reality. "he then fished something out from his pocket and put it on the table while I was explaining. It took me a moment to realize that that something was two movie tickets! I looked at him and he was looking elsewhere, his face was so red! That was so cute! I blushed as well of course, so I cleared my throat to stay as cool as possible. I asked him what those two movie tickets meant. And you know what, Lu-chan? He asked me to watch the movie together with him! He asked that with a red face and I couldn't help but squeal inside!"

Lucy laughed. "I bet you said yes immediately."

"I DID!" Levy squealed. "Our faces were red instantly after I kinda screamed my answer out but we were so happy!"

Lucy smiled and ruffled Levy's hair. "I'm so glad for you, Levy-chan. I hope it works well with him."

Levy nodded her head. "He's only planning to watch movies, but it's okay right if I take him somewhere else?"

Lucy nodded her head as her answer. "Of course. I'm sure he also has some other plans ready for the two of you as well. This Saturday, right?"

Levy's face blushed. "Y—yeah."

Lucy giggled. "Good luck, Levy-chan! Don't get too nervous with the kiss, let it flow. And try to restrain yourself from having a steamy night on the first date, okay? But if you really do, don't forget the protection!"

Levy's blush went heavier. "LU-CHAN!"

Gajeel stopped on his tracks when his eyes saw a girl. A cute petite blue-haired girl who looked so beautiful in his eyes. He could see her slender neck because of her ponytail and her clothes looked amazing. Simple, but amazing. Those tight leggings and the boots made her legs looked so slim and long.

Gajeel gulped down and tried to calm himself down. He breathed in and out to calm his racing heart and a certain rather excited part of his.

Alright, let's chill. This is the first date. First date supposed to be memorable. Chill., Gajeel ordered himself.

After making sure he would be fine—or at least he tried to be fine—he walked towards Levy. He stopped midway though to check himself out.

A part of him scoffed. Gajeel Redfox, checking himself out to make sure he looked perfect because he wanted to impress his crush. Worthy of being one of the seven wonders of the world.

This is just to make sure she wouldn't be embarrassed walking with me., Gajeel defended himself.

After he was sure he was okay, he continued his steps towards Levy.

"Hey, Shrimp."

Levy looked up at her breath hitched. Gajeel looked handsome. He looked more rowdy than he used to, but super handsome. He was wearing a black shirt with white pants along with a pair of white sneakers. His long hair was tied back into one. "Eh—oh—hey." she smiled lightly, trying to be as casual as possible. "Wait a minute, what did you call me?"

Gajeel looked at Levy. "Shrimp." he answered flatly.

"Hey!" Levy slapped his arm. "I'm your teacher!"

Gajeel rolled his eyes and took Levy's hand into his own. "In school. Now, you're my girl. Come on."

Levy's face blushed and her heart was so dangerously close in leaping out of her chest.

"W—w—w—w—wha..." Levy stammered. "Y—y—y—your g—g—girl..."

Gajeel didn't say anything but his face blushed. He tightened his hold as if to say: I don't need words to claim you.

The first kiss was sloppy. And short. And wet. And awkward.

But Levy couldn't stop her blushing. That was her first kiss with the one she liked. She loved it down to the awkwardness.

It was a movie about dragons. It was supposed to be quite chair-gripping but it had a bit of tragedy as well. Or in Levy's case, a big tragedy. Levy couldn't understand why the female dragon had to die and leave the protagonist dragon all alone. Levy cried when the male protagonist dragon screamed its lungs out of despair. The scream was so real and heart-breaking, Levy wondered how they created such a voice.

Levy raised a hand to wipe her tear but before she could do that, another thumb was wiping it off. Levy turned her head to see Gajeel was staring back at her. He wiped another tear and leaned in.

Before Levy's brain could process anything, Gajeel kissed her.

Levy widened her eyes and Gajeel pulled back. They both then stared at each other in silence, only to look elsewhere at the same time a second later out of embarrassment. Levy touched her lips slightly, she could still feel Gajeel's lips on her. She thanked inwardly for the tragedy.

When they got out of the movies, they held hands so tight as if they were afraid to let each other go. Gajeel took her to eat at a small but cozy French restaurant and they ate while chatting. They told each others about themselves, and the shyness around them disappeared. When they got out of the restaurant, their fingers were intertwined.

Gajeel did some research on his own and he took Levy to a big bookstore. Her eyes gleamed upon seeing piles and piles and piles of books. Levy stormed inside while Gajeel followed. He waited patiently for her and finally got out after Levy had spent three hours inside. Looking at her happy face, Gajeel decided he didn't regret getting himself bored as hell in the bookstore.

They then wandered aimlessly, trying to enjoy each other's presence as long as possible. They bought a matching dragon keychain and Gajeel bought her a new bandana. They had a visit to the zoo and Levy laughed when a giraffe munched Gajeel's hair.

By the time Gajeel took Levy home, the moon was already shining brightly in the sky. Levy inwardly sighed in grateful as Gajeel didn't take her into one of those love hotels and just brought her straight back home. She wouldn't know what to do if he did. Of course Levy looked forward to... have intimate actions with him! But they had just got together, Levy didn't want to rush anything. And Levy was grateful once again as Gajeel seemed to understand her wish even without her saying it.

"Thanks for today, Gajeel." Levy smiled. "I really enjoyed it."

Gajeel grinned. "Geehee. I know you will."

"Be careful on your way home, okay?"

"Yeah."

Levy let out another smile and fished out her keys to open her apartment door.

"Levy."

"Yeah? What is it, Ga—"

Levy's words were cut as Gajeel crashed his lips into her. His hand snaked around her tiny waist while the other supported her neck. Levy widened her eyes out of surprise but soon melted into the kiss. She wrapped her hands around his neck, her fingers softly tugging at Gajeel's hair.

Gajeel licked her lips and she opened her mouth to give him permission. His tongue stormed inside and his hand pushed Levy's head to be closer to his. A small moan escaped from her lips as Levy tugged his hair a bit harder when Gajeel sucked her tongue lightly.

They pulled apart when their lungs breathed for air in pain. They panted but kept their forehead touched. Levy felt like her energy had been sucked out of her.

"I should go." Gajeel croaked and gave a small kiss on Levy's sweaty forehead. "I don't know how long can I hold myself with you looking so delicious like that, Shrimp."

Levy blushed but nodded slightly. Gajeel smiled, squeezed her hand, and walked away after muttering a good night to her. When Gajeel was out of her sight, Levy's knees buckled and she fell to the floor. She leaned to her door while covering her mouth.

Levy felt breathless and her chest was still heaving up and down in a frantic rhythm. Levy couldn't see it but she knew her face was as red as a boiled shrimp. Levy couldn't just believe what had just happened.

Gajeel, without a doubt, was a great kisser.

On their third date, Gajeel took her to an observatory. Levy was not a fan of stargazing—unlike Lucy—but she had to admit the starry sky she saw from the observatory was amazing. She felt like she was in space upon seeing the glittering jewels in the sky. Levy sighed contently.

"This is so beautiful." she mumbled.

"Like it?" Gajeel asked.

"Absolutely. Now I know why Lu-chan loves to see the stars."

"Lu-chan?"

"Lucy. The Science teacher."

"Oh. That Lucy, you mean?" Gajeel asked while tugging her arm.

Levy raised an eyebrow and followed Gajeel's pointed finger. She widened her eyes upon seeing a familiar figure.

Two familiar figures who were standing on the deck across them and shared a tight hug. Lucy and Natsu. Now Levy knew there wasn't anything strange with them spending their time together, without her or Gray. Lucy and Natsu had been so close since they were born, they were practically inseparable. Levy often wondered to herself why weren't the two of them in a relationship but she thought they were might be too comfortable with each other already, they weren't even thinking of being in one.

But when she saw them kissed, she felt a part of her went cold. And it's not only a passing by kiss, it was a very passionate one. Levy's mind instantly raced into asking a question over and over.

Since when did the two of them have that kind of relationship?

"Wow," Gajeel whistled. "that is a kiss you give to someone you love."

Why didn't Lucy tell her anything about her relationship with Natsu? Why did she hide it from her? Weren't the two of them best friends?

"Shrimp, I thought the teachers are not allowed to be in a relationship with each other?" Gajeel asked.

Did they decided to be in a relationship, regardless of knowing full well they were prohibited to?

"Y—yeah." Levy croaked. "We are bound with a one-year contract and I know Lu-chan won't resign just because she wants to keep her relationship with Natsu."

"So, why are they still risking it?" Gajeel asked.

Levy took a minute of silence to think. "There's only one explanation left. They are already in a relationship even before we become teachers..." Levy trailed off and widened her eyes. She turned her head to face Gajeel in fear. "Gajeel, please don't tell anyone about this!"

Gajeel snorted. "And why would I do that? Ain't my business."

Levy let out a sigh. "I—I have to ask them about this, I need to know. I have to know. I am their best friend! But please keep this as secret from anyone else, Gajeel!"

Gajeel put his big hands on Levy's head. "I know, Shrimp."

There you go !

I rarely wrote anything about the other ship, so I am really excited into writing this one. I think Gajeevy is cute too !

So, what do you think ?
