This is the last chapter of Friendly Neighbours. We finally get Gajevy, and lemon!

"Don't", she said. "Don't make another mistake."

"I lied. It wasn't a mistake."

Levy looked at him, still holding her hands against his chest to keep a distance between them.

"Then why did you tell me it was?"

"Because…"

Gajeel sighed and took a few steps away from her. He rubbed the back of his head and looked down onto the floor. Levy waited for him to continue, but he didn't. She sighed and wondered if it was any use in trying anymore. She started moving towards the door again.

"Wait."

She turned around and looked at Gajeel again. He rubbed his face and made another sigh, not knowing what to say. He looked flustered and uncomfortable.

"I ain't good with this shit", he finally said." I mean feelings, I ain't good with feelings. And you make me feel things…"

"You make me feel things too", Levy said.

"You… I don't let people in, but you got in anyway… And you…"

He folded his arms, unfolded them and put his hands in his pocket. He couldn't stand still and shifted from one foot to the other.

"Pretty little girls like you don't fall for guys like me."

There, he said it. He couldn't look at her, so he looked at anything but her.

"Don't you think that's my decision to make?" Levy said with a soft voice.

"What to do you mean?"

He finally looked at her, and Levy slowly walked closer to him. She realized how hard this had been for him. She didn't care that she was blushing, she had to do this.

"I did fall for you. I waited for you to make a move. And when you finally did, it felt so good… And then you refused to talk to me."

"You stopped me."

"I didn't want you to stop", Levy said and reached out to touch him. "I just wanted to go inside my apartment. We were in the stairs, remember? I wasn't going to take my clothes of in the stairs. Imagine if someone had seen us? Like Mrs Gruber, we would have given her a heart attack."

"Probably", Gajeel said and gave her half a smile.

That eased the tension between them, but they were both still nervous and unsure about what was going to happen.

"So…" Gajeel said and put his hand on Levy's. "What do we do now?"

"We take it slow, see what happens? No expectations, no pressure?"

"I can do that", Gajeel said and leaned closer to kiss her.

It was a soft kiss that quickly developed to something more. But there was one more thing that Gajeel had to know.

"What about Jet and Droy?"

"What about them? They're my best friends, like brothers. Very protective brothers. I've known them my whole life."

"So you're not… I mean, you seem so… close."

Gajeel blushed and avoided looking at her. And first she had no idea what he was talking about and then it hit her.

"Oh, you don't think that… It's not like that, at all. Though you're probably not the first one to assume that…"

Levy covered her face and blushed. Did he really think that she, jet and Droy…

Sorry, guys.

"It's never been like that. They're in a relationship… with each other…."

"You mean…"

"Yeah, they're gay."

Gajeel seemed relieved and Levy couldn't help but smile.

"You're okay with that?"

"I don't know them. But I guess you can't choose who you fall in love with."

Levy smiled and pulled him in for another kiss. The moment they touched the craving need they felt for each other escalated. They couldn't get close enough and when Gajeel lifted her up she wrapped her legs around him. Their tongues danced together and their hands tried to cover as much of their bodies as possible.

Gajeel carried her to the couch and sat down with Levy in his lap. She felt the growing bulge in his jeans and moved against him. He put his hands on her hips to guide her movements and groaned in her ear. His hands moved under the hem of her top and she put her arms up so he could remove it for her. He pulled it over her head and tossed it on the floor.

"What happened to slow?" he breathed between kisses as he continued to take of her bra.

"Later. We can do that later."

She moaned as his trails of kisses reached her mounds. He kissed and licked and she felt that familiar tingle in her lower body.

He lifted her up and put her down on the couch lying on her back. He hovered over her and kissed her cheeks, her neck and collarbone. He continued down her stomach and when he reached her leggings he sat up only to take of her boots and then slowly remove her leggings and panties. He lowered his head and Levy gasped in surprise and pleasure when she felt his tongue. That was a new and very pleasant experience.

He replaced his tongue with his fingers and lay down beside her. They kissed passionately and Levy reached down his pants to touch him. He was hard, and it excited her to know that she had that effect on him.

"Levy, I have to…" he said and removed his jeans.

"Now", she said. "I want you inside me when I come."

He looked deep into her eyes when he thrust into her. One thrust was enough to push her over the edge. Gajeel held still and watched her arch her back and dig her finger into the fabric of the couch when she fell. He started moving again and she wrapped her arms and legs around him to urge him to come closer and deeper. She lingered on the edge a second time, and they both fell over the edge together.

Lily and Mira decided that it was time to Let Gajeel and Levy out of the staff room. They had to had worked things out by now. Lily unlocked the door and opened it. He stopped and stared at what he saw. Gajeel buttoned his jeans and Levy had just put her top back on. All three of them were equally red on their faces

"I see you worked things out", Lily managed and cleared his throat. He had not been expecting this.

"Yeah, well…" Gajeel said and looked at Levy. "We talked, and one thing led to another…"

"I can see that…" Lily cleared his throat again. "I'm happy for you."

He closed the door and left them alone again.

"Poor Lily", Levy said.

"He'll be fine. Are you ready?"

Levy nodded and took his hand. They left the staff room and walked to the table were Levy's friends were sitting.

"There you are. I wondered where you went", Lucy said and looked at them. "Did you guys…?"

"We talked…" Levy said and blushed when she glanced at Gajeel.

They sat down and Mira came over to the table with drinks for everyone.

"It's on the house to celebrate the new couple", she said.

She leaned in and whispered in Gajeel's ear.

"You owe me a new couch."

How the hell did she know? Well, she was Mira, she knew everything.

"Yes, ma'm."

"I'm so happy for you guys", she said and gave their shoulders a little squeeze before she got back to the bar.

"This is great", Lucy said. "Now we can double date."

"I ain't double dating with Flame Brain."

"I'm not going on a double date with Metal Head."

Lucy and Levy looked at each other and smiled.

This is where this story ends. It's my first fanfic ever, and it's been fun writing it. I have a few more ideas for this story and I want to write a sequel or maybe even two. Do you want that?
I was so nervous when I posted the first chapter of this story, and thought that I would be lucky if maybe 10 people would like it and if I could get like 2 reviews. It's been a lot more than that, and I really want to thank you for following me on this little journy. For reading, favoriting, following and reviewing. It means so much to me.
And if you find this story later and follows, favorite or review, I want to say thank you to you too.
