Gajeel hung his head under the running water. His mind was starting to dull from lack of sleep and caffeine, rubbing his face with water to attempt to re-energise himself his mind wandered. The soapy water slid off his body down into the drain beneath his feet. The hot water felt good against his skin washing away the dirt and sweat that last almost 48 hours had brought.
He couldn't stop his mind wandering over Levy's actions, she seemed to be her old self, smiling and laughing. Even arguing with him again. He smirked as he lent his head back underneath the shower, washing out the shampoo.
Would she go for it?
His heart and mind was longing to hold her again. After the night at the bar all he ever wanted was to hold her body against his and never let go. He wanted to see her every morning, but they had been apart for so many years.
Grunting he stepped out of the shower and vaguely dried his body before wrapping the towel around his waist. He must of looked at his face in the mirror for what seemed an eternity. Imagining himself with his long locks again. Man he missed them but the short hair reminded him everyday of the woman he was destined to be with.
Levy...
Opening the door to the bedroom he was greeted with a small bluenette sitting on the end of his bed looking pink as she stared at his chiselled chest. Her eyes only locked on his naked torso.
"Can I help yah with somethin'?" He smirked, watching her petite body shift uncomfortably.
Man she's cute...
"Yah should shower too. I don't think you realise how dirty you are," He intended for it to sound innocent but Levy's face flushed a deep shade of red.
"I-I'm not dirty! I'm inno- oh... Um. Yes thank you," Levy quickly shot up from the bed and slipped past an amused Gajeel, before closing the door behind her.
Her heart raced, pounding hard against her chest.
Calm down... Calm down...
Turning on the water to the shower Levy looked around the bathroom hoping to find something she could use to wash her hair and body with. Most of it looked incredibly masculine and she wasn't too keen on the idea of washing with a man's body wash. Opening a few cupboards she met with the realisation that she was going to have to bite the bullet and use Gajeel's shampoo and body wash.
Her face crumpled slightly with concern hoping that he wouldn't mind her using his shower products, placing them on the floor of the shower for easy reach she looked for a towel, a large black fluffy looking towel looked back at her, Levy felt a small smile creep across her face as she felt the softness against her face. Placing it near the shower for when she would leave, she slowly stripped out of Lucy's lent clothes.
Unbuttoning her white shirt she carefully folded it back up, followed by wiggling out of her short skirt. Unclasping her bra she felt much more comfortable slowly dropping it on top of the folded clothes she was left with her panties. Uneasily she looked towards the still closed bathroom door, reassuring herself she slowly slipped off her panties and put them on top of the rest of her clothes. Pulling out her pony tail she felt the long blue locks fall against her bare back, shaking it up carefully with her hands she stepped into the hot shower.
A deep sigh left her lips before the tears began falling again. She wished she could think clearly, to have the road paved ahead of her telling her which way to turn. She had unofficially broken up with Eric. In her dream like state she knew he was no good for her, but she did love him. Her mind and her friends seemed to point her back in the right direction. She needed to move forwards. She had stayed stagnant for all those years, waiting hand on foot for her husband. Having no dreams of her own in fears of hurting his ideas. She wanted to grow. To make something of herself, but Eric had always found a way to sabotage it.
Levy smelt the shampoo run down her body as she gently massaged it into her scalp. The same smell Gajeel always smelt with. It felt like home, it felt right. Her eyes continued to tear up, finally allowing the shampoo to fully wash out of her hair she opened up the body wash, the smell overwhelmed her nostrils. Her sobs her becoming louder as her chest heaved. She wanted to stop all the crying, she didn't even understand why she was upset. Why was she sobbing so loudly? Why was the simple act of washing her hair making her sad? Levy couldn't think straight. She wanted for all of the pain and sadness to just go away. To be happy once again. To have one day where nothing bad would happen, where the sun shone bright and the clouds never clouded over. Where she could leave the house whenever she wanted, go where ever she wanted with whomever she wanted.
Trying to squeeze out the body wash into her palm the bottle dropped onto the floor making the bluenette squeal with distress. She felt anger build up in her body. She was never angry. She wanted to forgive everyone. She felt a scream wanting to tear out of her mouth but all she could do was cry louder than ever. Sliding down the shower wall she fell onto her behind, hugging her knees as the water poured down over her.
Before she realised it two arms wrapped around her naked body cradling her close. They never uttered any words simply holding her close as the two sat underneath the water slowly a hand stroked the back of her head, allowing the bluenette to cry loudly into their arms.
She felt a heavy head rest on her head, occasionally kissing the top of her forehead trying desperately to reassure her.
Levy's eyes were red with squeezing them shut tight, cracking them open under the water she caught sight of a studded arm holding her. She realised she sat on Gajeel's lap, but she didn't care. Not any more. She actually felt happy, why was she feeling guilty? Why did she feel as if she was being selfish for wanting to live her life?
She moved slightly making Gajeel release his iron like grip on her body, still holding her under the water he brushed several blue locks out of her face. She could feel his heart racing wildly against her. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do with her life, but she was certain Gajeel was the answer to the question in front of her. Right now. He was the only piece in her life that made sense. He was the key to her happiness.
Leaning in, he lifted up her chin meeting his face, his crimson eyes looking straight into Levy's beautiful hazel orbs. Hesitating Levy blinked a few times as water poured down their faces, she lent in towards him.
His lips locked around hers, feeling her kiss back. Her slender wet arm ran its way around the back of his head as she turned her body, her breasts pressing against his chest. Deepening her kiss she felt his hands wander across her back. One hand cupped her head whilst the other ran towards her behind sitting on his stirring lap.
Levy broke away from the kiss, planting more against his cheek tears running down her face again, she felt happy.
Kissing all over his studs, on his nose and jaw she rubbed her fingers gently on his ear. She felt so close and so alive. She needed more. Rotating her body around she slid her legs either side of his body, keeping her breasts pressed against his bare chest. Still partially embarrassed by her naked body. Each kiss deepened and became more passionate.
Grabbing a handful of Levy's behind Gajeel pulled her lower half closer to his towelled waist. He couldn't get enough of her body. She was the picture of perfection, the way she slotted perfectly in his arms. The bluenette ran her tongue across Gajeel's exposed ear enjoying the taste of iron studs in her mouth.
Shivers ran up Gajeel's back as he allowed her to control the pace. He didn't want to press himself too hard and scare her off but the way she touched his body was making him loose control.
Leaning back slightly Levy looked at Gajeel, his face had turned a shade of pink as he caught sight of her small perky breasts. Her nipples had become hard as they grazed against him. He shuddered wanting to wrap his lips around her soft nubs. Wanting to squeeze and massage those perfect mounds once more.
She breathed heavily as her heart raced in her throat. So many thoughts running through her head, gingerly she took Gajeel's hand and placed it on her chest. Looking at him she gave him a small smile as she bit her lip, reassuring him it was alright to proceed. She needed the release, to feel alive. To feel loved. She wanted Gajeel.
