"So…" Levy repeated still trying to avoid Gajeel's gaze. Even though she knew very well that his eyes were glued on her. Her toes played with one another out of how nervous she felt. She kept shifting in her bed trying to get comfortable but found it very hard in her current state.

A grin tugged on the corner of his lips but he shook his head trying to concentrate on the serious conversation. He coughed once more trying to get the bluenette's attention but clearly failed seeing that the girl continued with her nervous antics. He sighed in defeat and decided to just speak up.

"Shorty, are you completely sure?" Gajeel asked straight to the point.

Levy jumped a little on her bed once she heard the boy's serious tone. He was clearly not joking around with this like he would usually do. "Of what?" She asked even though she knew perfectly about what he was asking.

Gajeel sighed once more in frustration. "Are you sure about what you 'feel' for me." He said looking down at his feet not being able to look at the girl in front of him.

Levy's eyes softened as she stared at the black haired boy across the room. Her eye's fell to her hands that were on her lap as lady like as they could possibly be. A small smile grew on her face. "I'm sure." She stated simply still looking at her hands.

Gajeel tensed a little at the thoughts that passed through his head. "But what about what happened to you? Did you forget that easily?" He said while his tone grew angrier with every word closing his fists as hard as he could in an attempt to hold back the anger. "I mean how could you trust anybody let alone me with your-"

"What do you mean by that!?" She asked angrily cutting the boy off as she stood up in one quick movement letting her fists fall to her sides clenching them tightly.

He glared at the girl and began with a stern voice. "What you went through isn't something you can get over so-"

"I know that, I can handle myself! I meant what did you mean when you said how could I trust anyone let alone you. Do you not think you are capable of being trust worthy!?" She asked furious at the insecurity of the boy. "You've more than showed me that you are trustworthy and-"

"What do you know!?" Gajeel said as he also rose to his feet glaring at the girl. She could easily see the anger and regret swimming in his eyes. "You barely know me!" He said snorting to the side and crossing his arms over his chest. He started breathing in deeper trying to control his anger.

Levy fought back tears as her tears pooled in her eyes desperately trying to spill on her cheeks. " I may not know you that much, but I have learned enough in this one weekend that most people might have never learned in a life time." She said letting her gaze fall to her feet as she tried to hide the tears that were now falling down her face in streams.

Gajeel's eyes widened and then softened at the sight of the shaking small figure in front of him he began walking towards the girl as he was trying to go comfort her. He stopped in front of the girl raising a hand towards her face.

Levy felt as he walked towards her and almost stopped crying as she thought that he was going to try and comfort her like he always did, in his weird little way.

Right before his hand reached her cheek he felt his cell phone vibrate. He cursed under his breath at the bad timing of whoever it was. He got the cell phone out of his pocket and his eyes widened when he saw the caller id.

"Juvia?" he thought out loud.

Levy's eyes flew wide open. A girl was calling Gajeel? Could that mean?

Her thoughts were cut short when the sound of the boy answering his cell phone interrupted.

"Yeah?" He answered trying to hide the sound of his frustration.

Gajeel turned his body to side as he talked on the phone.

Gajeel sighed in frustration while his hand rose towards his face so his fingers could rub the bridge of his nose. "Fine." He said hanging up the phone and turning his head to look at Levy.

Gajeel's expression said that he was already regretting his decision. "I'm sorry Shorty but can we finish this later?" He asked sighing once more as he walked towards the door saying that either way he was going to go.

Levy nodded as she just stood there disappointed but let her body fall on her bed in a sitting position.

Gajeel looked back at the girl regretting his decision more and more with every second that passed.

As the boy closed the door behind him Levy began thinking about what he was going to do. Was that Juvia girl his… She shook her head not wanting to think of that.

After a few moments of being deep in thought the blue haired girl's head snapped up as an idea popped into her head. She nodded to herself confirming her next move as she grabbed her jacket and put on her shoes. She then made her way out of the apartment looking both possible ways of where the boy could have gone. She inhaled one big breath before running down her best guess of what path the boy had gone a few moments ago.

It was already dark outside and Levy had wandered around a few minutes before successfully locating Gajeel. She followed him as quietly as possible as he made his way towards his destination.

A few moments later a girl appeared, she seemed to be waiting for someone. Gajeel approached the girl and they started having a conversation, but Levy was too far away to be able to hear what they were saying. So she observed and made out what she could.

She watched intently as they talked. The girl had a huge smile on her face as she talked to Gajeel, Levy's grip on the wall tightened. Levy was growing desperate trying to figure out what they were talking about but failed.

After a few moments of the girl, Juvia was it? And Gajeel talking Gray arrived with a raised brow. She sighed in relief at the sight of the boy. Levy had absolutely no idea what was happening but she was glad that they were no longer alone.

Gajeel snorted to the side when he saw Gray approach Juvia and him but he wanted to get this over with. As Gray started making conversation with Juvia about who knows what Gajeel's mind drifted to a certain blue haired girl that would be waiting for him at their room when he'd go back. He was desperate to get back to his room as soon as possible and finish his conversation with Levy but he owed Juvia for all her kindness in the past towards him.

His mind snapped back to reality when he felt Juvia's arm's wrap around his. He winced but then reminded himself of the situation and followed the girl's lead.

Gray raised a brow at the two. "I didn't know you two were so close." He said nonchalantly.

"Oh yes we're somewhat close." She said swinging her hips. Gajeel snorted to the side as quietly as he could trying not to blow his cover.

He didn't like the idea of tricking people or trying to get them jealous but as long as he didn't have to do anything else than just stand there he didn't mind.

"Oh, good for you two." Gray said giving them a friendly smile.

Juvia winced at his reaction; she wanted him to get jealous not be happy for them. Her grip tightened on Gajeel's arm and he grumbled something under his breath clearly beginning to get uncomfortable with this situation. But Juvia then grabbed one of his hands and wrapped it around herself in another attempt to get the boy jealous.

"Thanks." She said trying to return a friendly smile before they continued their conversation.

Levy's grip on the wall tightened to the point where her fingers and knuckles turned white. She felt tears pool under her eyes and didn't even bother to fight them back as they began their journey down her pale cheeks. Her hands rose to her face to cover her mouth and the light sobs coming out of it trying to maintain her presence a secret. She backed away from the corner of the wall not wanting to see anything else, trying to forget what she just saw. While she was backing away she backed into something hard. She froze in her tracks not wanting to look back but decided to look over her shoulder anyway, what was the worst that could happen?

As her head turned around to see what she had bumped into her eyes flew wide open when she saw what it was.

Gray and Juvia were still talking about who knows what; Gajeel's mind hadn't stuck to the conversation even once since it started. Lately his mind could only think about a certain small bluenette.

Gajeel began to grow desperate once more, and the clueless boy hadn't even gotten a hint of what Juvia and him were trying to accomplish. Gajeel sighed in frustration as he broke free the hand that was wrapped around Juvia and began massaging his temples.

Juvia and Gray looked at the boy with raised brows. "Are you ok, Gajeel?" Juvia asked concerned with the obviously annoyed boy.

"What's wrong?" Gray asked equally concerned.

"What's wrong is that you're a clueless idiot!" Gajeel almost roared but was able to control his tone.

"What do y-"

"How do you not notice how much she likes you? I mean she practically stalks you!" Gajeel said grabbing his head almost yanking his hairs out in frustration. "And we're not that close! She asked me to help and get you jealous but you're too much of a hard headed idiot to notice!" He said while pointing at the now blushing Juvia. She hadn't expected Gajeel to lose it that quickly.

Gray just stood there looking at Gajeel dumbfounded then his gaze fell on Juvia. A light smile tugged on his lips. "Really?" He asked Juvia as he started to walk towards her.

"For kami's sake!" Gajeel roared as he started to walk away.

"Thank you Gajeel." Juvia said to his retreating back.

Gajeel didn't even bother to look back. "Whatever, I have my own problems to take care of." He said annoyed at the fact that he still wasn't close to his room, to Levy.

After a few seconds of walking Gajeel heard a few weird noises coming from a behind a nearby wall. It sounded like somebody struggling, trying to make noise. He raised a brow. After a few seconds of contemplating the thought he made his way towards the wall with a bad feeling in his stomach that was telling him to hurry up. That feeling grew even stronger as the noises were growing louder as he approached, he started running.

Levy's cheeks were soaked with tears as she was pinned against the wall with her hands above her head held by only one cold hand with tremendous strength. She tossed and turned trying to release his grip on her but miserably failed. She let her head down and started crying some more. What had she done to deserve this?

"I told I was going to come back and finish what I started." He said as every word seemed like they were filled with poison. His evil grin grew even wider as he saw that the girl had stopped her struggling.

"Aw but I like it when you struggle." He said while licking his lips and leaning in to get closer to the blue haired girl.

But his movement soon came to a stop as a dark shadow appeared at the end of the wall. It was surrounded with dark aura as it slowly approached the two. Laxus raised a brow at the familiar figure. "Well look who showed up." Laxus' grin grew even bigger at the thought of some action.

"So it was you." The figure said with his voice low and filled with anger as he tightened his fists at his sides trying to hold himself back.

Levy's eyes flew wide open at the familiar voice. "Gajeel." She whispered to herself not asking the obvious. But she soon regretted speaking as the blonde's head snapped back towards her.

"You think this punk is going to be able to help you?" He said tightening his grip on Levy's wrist making her whimper in pain.

Gajeel clenched his fists even harder as his fingernail dug into his flesh making him bleed. "Let. Her. Go." He said gritting his teeth holding back the anger knowing that if he made a move now Levy would get in the middle of things.

Laxus raised a brow with interest towards the furious boy. He released his grip on Levy completely letting her fall to the ground on her knees as she rubbed her wrists.

"Now what are you going to do?" Laxus said opening his arms as if inviting Gajeel into an embrace with a huge devil like smile on his disturbing face.

Before the blonde could even process what was happening Gajeel had already landed a punch straight to his face making him fall back into the ground. Laxus grabbed his face trying to ease the pain but soon enough Gajeel was landing not one but multiple punches to his stomach. Laxus whimpered in pain as Gajeel grabbed his neck digging him deeper into the dirt.

"Now you listen to me you little bastard. If you ever dare to put a finger on her or even a single strand a hair a swear I'll-"

"Gajeel." Levy said as she stood squaring her shoulders. "That's enough."She said with a stern voice.

Gajeel's eyes widened in confusion. "But he's the one that almost." He roared but whispered his last words trying to avoid saying something else.

"It's fine. You don't need to scoop down to his level. And I doubt he'll do anything else after what you just did." She said nodding her head towards the blonde that was trembling in fear under Gajeel's hand.

He released his grip on the blonde and stood up. Gajeel watched as Laxus stood up on shaking knees and ran in direction of his room. Gajeel snorted to the side at the sight of the blonde, he could do unmentionable things to women but he couldn't take responsibility like a man.

"You should go getting back to your girlfriend." Levy said puffing out her cheeks and crossing her arms over her chest as she turned on her heel to make her way to her room.

Gajeel raised a brow at the girls back in confusion. "What are you talking about Shrimp?" He asked her also crossing his arms over his chest. An amused grin appeared on his face knowing that she probably followed him out here in curiosity and saw Juvia and him trying to get Gray jealous. 'She's jealous.' He thought to himself in amusement. He was going to have fun with this.

She turned around to look at him. "You know pretty well about what I'm talking about." She said puffing out her cheeks in frustration as she noticed the amused look on his face. "And what's so funny!? This is something serious!" She said turning around once again as she started walking.

Gajeel started walking and fastened his pace to catch up to her. As he got next to her he looked at her. "No, I don't now enlighten me." He said leaning in closer to her trying to tease her.

Levy huffed to the side. "I saw you with your arms wrapped around the so called Juvia." She said in-a-matter-of-fact tone.

"So, you were following me?" He said with a grin on his face.

Levy jumped at the realization that she had just blurted herself out to the one person that she didn't want to know about it. She cursed to herself and decided to go with the truth and get it over with. She sighed. "Yes." She almost whispered.

Gajeel chuckled to himself. "Well that's what you get when you try to snoop around." He said putting his hands in his pockets after shrugging his shoulders.

"S-So she is your-"

"Hell no." He said cutting her off. "I could never stand a girl like her." He said.

"Then why were you…" She asked but didn't want to finish the question.

Gajeel sighed and began explaining the situation since the beginning as they walked to their room.

As Levy stepped into the room as Gajeel held the door open for her, something that he never did for any girl, she blushed lightly.

"I see, so you were just helping an old friend out." She said as she walked to her bed and sat down on the corner.

"Pretty much, yeah." He said as he plopped himself down on the corner of his bed.

"So I followed you for nothing." She said while giggling softly and scratching her cheek.

"Well I wouldn't say nothing." He said as his mind trailing off to a certain image of a blonde trembling under his hand.

She sighed. "Thank you." She almost whispered while tears pooled in her eyes.

Gajeel heard the small sobs coming from the girl as she lowered her head into her hands to wipe the tears away. He unconsciously stood up from his bed and made his way towards the figure of the small weeping girl. When he stood in front of her her head rose to meet his gaze. He slowly fell on his knees to find himself almost at the same eye level of the small girl, still looking into each other's eyes his hand rose to her cheek as it caressed it softly. She flinched at the sensation of his warm touch, it was nothing like the other boy's touch, his was filled with something else she couldn't quite point out. Her eyes widened a little when she noticed Gajeel's hand was wiping away her tears. After he had wiped away all the tears his free hand fell on her's that were on her lap. He grabbed one of her small hands as softly as he could trying not to startle her. He rapidly noticed how small her hands were compared to his but shrugged away the thought.

His hand found its way to the back of her head so it could pull her closer to him. She realized but didn't fight back, it felt right.

Gajeel could feel his heart beating through his chest as he looked at her small pink plump lips. He sighed and realized he couldn't hold himself back any longer. "You have no idea what you do to me." He said as he pulled her in closing the remaining space in between them.

As their lips met Levy winced a little almost fighting to be let go but quickly found herself getting lost in the kiss. It was absolutely nothing like what she had experienced before. She giggled a little as her hands wrapped around his head to play freely with his wild black hair.

As he felt her get into the kiss he stood up wrapping a hand around her waist to lift her up so they could continue their kiss. He felt her giggle before breaking away from the kiss as she wrapped her legs around his waist. They looked into each other's eyes for a few moments before they both had smiles tugging at their lips.

Levy let her forehead fall on Gajeel's forehead as she captivated the happiness and relief she now felt take over her body. It felt amazing to her after all that had happened.

Gajeel loved the feeling of having her in his arms, where he knew he could protect her from anything and anyone that dared to even look at her in the wrong way. It made him feel like everything single last decision, right and wrong, that led him to his moment was worth wild.

Neither of them said anything and just enjoyed their moment after waiting for it after so long.
