CHAPTER 28: Proper Demonstration

Wendy sighed, turning the final page of Slayers Throughout The Ages, setting it aside. She turned back to the stack of tomes in front of her, lifting the top book from the pile, cracking it open. There were no clues in that one either. The little dragon slayer rubbed her eyes, exhaustion claiming her. How long have I been here for? The blue-haired girl chanced another glance at the door, sighing again. Where could they be? She yawned, thumping her head into the pages of The Toll: Magical Effects, not hearing the door to the main section of the library creak open. The sky dragon drifted to sleep, head and arms slumped awkwardly across the table.

"Wow, she's really out." Natsu whispered, frowning.

"Yeah." Gajeel grunted, crossing his arms over his chest.

"How long has she been here?" Lucy mumbled, carefully removing the Gale-Force Reading Glasses from the girl's face.

"Probably hours." Levy whispered, eyebrows raised. She moved forward, scribing the word blanket, covering the little mage. The group stepped carefully out of the room, closing the door silently behind them as they parted ways for the day. They agreed to meet again tomorrow, bright and early, to finally work on a plan for their uncertain futures. Lucy and Natsu headed back towards the main section of the guild, holding hands as they disappeared from view. Gajeel turned to the girl beside him, smiling fondly as he picked her up in his arms.

"Let's get you home.'" He grinned, kissing the bluenette. 'We can read tomorrow." Levy smiled, a stern look crossing her face.

"You know,"' The fairy giggled. 'We'll have to do it eventually."

"Gihihi…'" Gajeel chuckled, smiling into Levy's cheek. 'We can do it now if you want."

"I meant the research!" Levy blushed, letting the iron mage kiss along her neck.

"Oh, that.'" He growled, running a large hand along her thigh. 'That can wait." Levy moaned as his mouth found the shell of her ear, nipping at the sensitive skin.

"Mmmm…'" Levy anchored her legs, once again, around Gajeel's powerful hips. 'We should stop." Before

"Yeah.'" He agreed, pushing the bluenette against the wall. 'We should." Probably

"Gajeel!" Levy whined, feeling his rough palm knead into her breast through the fabric of her dress.

"Tell me to stop." He ordered, his voice unconvincing.

"Stop." Levy whispered, prying at his belt. Gajeel's hand moved along her back, holding her firmly as he placed her on her feet. She stared sadly up at the man, disappointment obvious on her face.

"Don't worry, Shrimp.'" Gajeel took her tiny hand in his. 'This intermission won't last long." He pulled her into a run, rushing through rows and rows of books, nearing the main doors.

"Why'd we stop?" Levy asked breathlessly as he hoisted her over his shoulder, picking up speed.

"I wanna try something new tonight.'" He growled huskily, tightening his grip on her thighs. 'Plus, the library is a little too crowded for my liking right now."

"What do you mean?" The little mage blushed as Gajeel kicked through the main doors of the guild, listening to the jeers and catcalls of their friends and teammates as they bolted through the crowd.

"Seems like Natsu's giving Bunny girl a proper demonstration." Gajeel laughed.

"Oh!'" Levy squeaked, feeling her face get hot. 'You mean they're?"

"Yep."

"Wow."
