He wasn't going to get any sleep that night. He constantly tossed and turned for what felt like hours and finally came to realize that he wasn't going to get some sleep. He mainly thought that the reason was because he had made a deal with the devil. After his encounter with Levy he managed to navigate back to his room with the help of Lucy and Wendy. The whole ideal exhausted him especially when it came to his opinions of the phantom. She confused him greatly especially when she offered to train him, but she would release him once she deemed him ready to sing on stage in front of an audience. His freedom depended on how well he sang and Gajeel knew that Levy would be demanding and he would come to hate her during those hours.
Gajeel threw the covers off him and sat up and picked up a nearby lit candle and made his way towards the sounds of a small pool a few feet away from his chamber. It was unfortunately too small, not enough to cover his body. Thankfully he had a small bar of soap(strawberry scented) and a large towel big enough to cover his whole body. That was then he noticed a doorway with stairs going deeper down the cavern and from the doorway you could hear the sound of a waterfall. When he finally reached the bottom his eyes widened in shock the cave was massive and better yet it was warm especially when Gajeel carefully dipped his hand in. Before he could strip he familiarized himself with his surroundings and to make sure he was alone. Quietly and quickly he stripped and walked into the warm water soothing him.
Meanwhile...
She wasn't getting any sleep. She was trying. She needed sleep, especially after her discovery about the red eyed man. Don Juan Triumphant was a masterpiece, her masterpiece an Gajeel was the first to sing part of it as if he was the actual Don Juan. His voice rang in her ears. He badly needed training but she would soon transform him into the opera's greatest star. Something inside her demanded her to train him, for far too long had Laxus's overconfident voice sung through and now it is time to change it up. It was a fair deal. His freedom in exchange for the opportunity to train him into being the next attraction. She threw the covers aside and began to play on her organ nearby to soothe her nerves. But she couldn't might the will to play. Her thoughts were all directed on Gajeel that was then she realized that he would soon need a new set of clothes that was when she heard a voice, a rough yet powerful voice drift in the air. Curious she followed it and it lead to his room, yet she still followed. He wasn't asleep. He wasn't reading. He wasn't nowhere. But the singing voice continued. Her eyes were filled with confusion, she put the clothes on the bed and followed the sound down a flight of stairs which the singing got more and more louder.
When at last Levy reached the bottom she was amazed to find a lagoon of some sort. Then something at the corner of her eye caught her attention it was the clothes she saw Gajeel wearing, a thought came across her. Does that mean? The singing stopped for Gajeel was nowhere in sight but then a very naked Gajeel emerged from the warm waters of the lagoon. She manged to hide before Gajeel looked at her direction. From Levy's hiding place she could clearly see his wet raven black hair, and tanned skin. His hands was in his hair trying to release all the water within it. His scowling face was replaced with a relaxed one as walked towards the side where the soap was, and he begun cleanse himself. Levy couldn't help but look and take in everything. His muscles. His chest. His ruby red eyes. Gajeel cleaned himself again before he was satisfied. He walked out of the pool exposed and completely unaware that he wasn't alone. Levy had turned away when he cleaned himself but unfortunately she witnessed something she'd never thought she would see. He's pierced there too. She thought blushing.
Her excitement ended when he wrapped the towel across his waist and walked back up the stairs to his chamber. He was surprised to see a set of new clothes on his bed.
"Lovely evening for a late night swim, don't you think." Gajeel tensed, once again she always manages to walk around without making a sound.
Gajeel: "What are you doing here?" He asked quickly.
Levy: "I was bringing you a new set of clothes when I heard singing."
Gajeel's eyes widened if she heard him singing then that would mean she may have walked down the stairs and seen him-
Levy: "I can clearly see you have made yourself at home" She managed to say before narrowly dodging a book thrown at her."
Levy: "Books are for reading not for violence."
Gajeel: "How much did you see?"
His eyes turned fierce burning with anger and his face red with embrassment.
Levy: "What?"
Gajeel: "HOW MUCH DID YOU SEE!?"
It was then when Levy realized what he was asking her she smiled teasingly an answered.
Levy: "Your whole body was exposed, so naturally I saw all of you. Since we are both awake I see no reason why we shouldn't waste any time"
Gajeel: "On what?"
Levy: "Your singing lessons. I'll be waiting in my chambers."
Without another word Levy turned heel and left Gajeel alone to get changed. As soon as she reached her room she collapsed onto her bed memories of Gajeel's naked body filled her mind, eventually she imagined what it would be like to have his against her own. Their passions and lust merging as one. Their voices singing the song of desire. Why was she feeling this way? Why was she having such exotic thoughts? Could it be that she was developing feelings for this man? It can't be, they just recently starting to get along. She rushed to her organ and started to play, for a long time she play attempting to lose herself in the music and soon she felt eyes glaring into her back.
Levy: "How long are you planning on glaring at me for?"
Gajeel: "We'll see."
Levy: "Right... let us begin."
She said playing the first few notes of the score signaling Gajeel that his lesson has begun.
