Gajeel can't sleep so he's pretty much having flash backs in this chapter. Thanks for reading!

Great, how the fuck was he supposed to sleep through that? Gajeel pulled a pillow over his head trying to drown out the other couples private moment, but the only thing the pillow did was make it harder to breathe. He wasn't a stranger to losing sleep because of other peoples bedroom behavior, but most of the time he was too drunk to care, or he would just move himself out of earshot of someone else's private moment. It was absolute hell when he decided to move into the basement, he couldn't take another minute of sharing a room with Rogue. If he knew his new room was going to give him perfect surround sound of his parents bedroom activities through the air vents he probably would have shared a room with Rogue forever. He thought he was fine once he had that problem figured out, but a whole new one emerged when his brother hit puberty and decided to get more acquainted with himself. Now the basement was soundproof, nothing got in and nothing got out and he liked it that way. He never had to worry about Levy being too loud when his family was home, and he didn't even have to think about the terrors that went on in his families bedrooms ever again.

Levy warned him that Erza and Jellal usually went at the whole time he was in town, but she usually just turned up the TV to give them some privacy, or stayed with Lucy for a while. Gajeel didn't think anything would drown out the sound of whatever was going on across the hall, but he could feel his cheeks warm up when things started getting a little more graphic. He never thought that Erza to be that loud in the sack, but Erza having sex in general wasn't a thought that crossed his mind before tonight. Sure she was pretty, but he's never had an urge of being the submissive one in the relationship and he was a little terrified of any girl that could kick his ass. That's why Levy was so perfect for him, he was sure she could kick his ass if she wanted to, but it wasn't likely that she actually would. They play fought all the time, and he was usually worried about squishing her more than anything and she used that as an advantage. He would get tired of her crawling around and tickling him like it wasn't cheating and pin her down just to make her behave.

Gajeel was trying to think of anything that could distract him while those two were still busy, he was hoping they would ware themselves out soon. It would be just his luck for Jellal to have the fucking stamina of a god. Gajeel understood it, going through a dry spell could be rough, he was usually a whinny little bitch when Levy was on her period, and the minute she gave him the green light they would be up for most of the night. Gajeel got pent up after a week, he couldn't imagine what Jellal was going through after almost a year, the poor guy was probably spending a lot of quality time with himself. Sure he understood the situation, but it didn't make his lack of sleep any less unpleasant. Of course Levy was asleep through the whole thing, she could sleep through the end of the world and wake up well rested, maybe it had something to do with the amount of time she spent staying up all night reading. The girl slept when she could, and once she was out nothing could get her up. This was almost as bad as the last time something like this happened.

When Gajeel was a brat and first started drinking he was a hell of a lightweight, it took him years to build up a proper tolerance but he had a few years of puking his brains out and passing out. He was always trying to keep up with the older guys so he would end up drinking way too fast and ending up with his head in a toilet. Sometimes he would just pass out in a corner and die, he would always wake up half way through whatever party he was at and do it all over again. One time he was passed out on Laxus's floor mainly because he knew Laxus would never forgive him for puking in his bed. Gajeel knew that if he fell asleep in Laxus's it would make him fair game, he had woken up one too many times as the little spoon and Gajeel really didn't want a repeat of that. Gajeel wasn't sure what woke him up that night, but when he realized what was going on, it was too late to escape.

Either Laxus forgot Gajeel was there, thought he was asleep, or he just decided not to care for that night. Either way Gajeel had to suffer through hearing Laxus entertain some girl who really liked to stroke his ego, among other things. He could deal with the giggles and the whispers and even with the squeaking of the bed, what he couldn't handle was the fact he had to hear his best friends name said in a way he just shouldn't hear. He wanted to stab himself in the ears, but he really didn't want either of them to notice him while they were still in the middle of things. At least with the way Gajeel was rolled over he could easily hide behind his hair and pretend he was asleep. That was definitely one conversation he never wanted to have, Gajeel was more embarrassed about hearing his best friend announce his closeness than anything a random girl had to say. Gajeel was just praying there wouldn't be a second round because he had been tortured enough for one night. Of course the minute Laxus found out why Gajeel wouldn't look him in the face, the teasing started and Laxus asked him why he didn't tag in. Gajeel was sure he was never going to live that one down, but Laxus stopped bringing it up the minute he started dating Mira and he thankful for that.

Gajeel was almost jealous at how peaceful Levy looked in her sleep, he knew it had a lot to do with the alcohol she was throwing back earlier but it was still pretty cute to see her drooling on her pillow like that. That was usually a sign that she was sleeping good and he was glad at least one of them would be sleeping tonight. The same thing happened the last time she was drunk too, she would start off all cute and giggly, she found everything funny and would end up asking the strangest questions before her buzz finally wore off. That's when pervy Levy came out, he remembered her saying some stuff to him that even made him blush and she ended up passing out before he even knew what to do. Gajeel remembered more about her homecoming night than she did, and he was just glad she didn't drink often because he didn't know if he had the energy to chase her around like that. Gajeel just remembered the night of her homecoming just becoming more hellish by the moment.

Gajeel was jealous, he was pretty pissed at himself about it too. It was a completely new sensation for him and he didn't even understand why he was in the first place. Levy was his girlfriend and he trusted her, and it was pretty obvious that he was the one she wanted to be with, so why was he moping like a little bitch because she was going to a high school dance with another guy. A guy she had shot down more times than she could count, a guy he told her to go with. Never in his life had Gajeel had an urge to go to any stupid high school while he was there himself, his mom bribed him into going to prom or he would have skipped that too. But when Levy mentioned that she really wanted to go to her senior homecoming, but didn't want to go alone and suffer through being a third wheel, Gajeel almost instantly swallowed his pride and told her to take one of her "boyfriends." It didn't bother him at first, it was a stupid school dance where she was going to hang out with her friends for a few hours, take a couple pictures and come home. But somewhere between seeing how beautiful she looked when she was trying on dresses and how excited she got when she talked about it Gajeel could feel his stomach drop just thinking about her spending the night with another man. He knew he was being stupid, but he was new to this relationship thing and he had to learn how to deal with the bad things just like the good ones.

It was kind of a bittersweet thing that he didn't get to see her off, he was at work when she sent him the text messages of her getting ready, he thought she looked adorable but at the same time his mind immediately went to the fact she would be on Droy's arm all night instead of his. Gajeel knew when she first mentioned it that he was way too old to go, even when he was still in high school there was a rule in place that kept anyone old enough to buy alcohol out of the school dances. It was a pretty smart rule, but it was still pretty easy to sneak it in. He knew Cana usually spent the whole week stashing a bunch in her locker so everyone was usually pretty drunk by the end of it and no one really knew how. Levy planned on going straight home after the dance and Gajeel was supposed to be meeting her when he got off work. It was still pretty early in their relationship so he was trying his best to behave himself, but just laying next to her sometimes just drove him insane to the point he needed a cold shower and a breather.

Of course Laxus was giving him shit about the whole thing, it was in his nature to be an ass hole, it was even worse that he had to suffer through work with Laxus teasing him at every corner. Him and Laxus usually worked opposite shifts, but of course Laxus agreed to pick up a shift with Gajeel just to give him hell. Gajeel didn't even notice the usual sexual harassment he had to deal with on a daily basis and he wasn't sure if it was because his mind was preoccupied, or if the perverted soccer moms just had their eye on Laxus for the night. Gajeel didn't care either way, it was almost like having a night off without him being called over every couple minutes because people didn't know what an on button was. His brother spent the better part of the night blowing up his phone and asking him for advice on girls, which Gajeel had to laugh about. Rogue actually had enough balls to ask a girl on a date, and was trying his best not to blow it. Gajeel gave him very brotherly advice for him to just be himself, and not to be a pervert. At one point Rogue sent him a picture of him and Levy dancing together, apparently Rogue thought her date was being a little too flirty and cut in. Gajeel was going to owe him for that one.

When Rogue called him at midnight he figured it was going to be something stupid, he knew his brother wouldn't call their parents and tell on himself unless he absolutely had to. Gajeel had to squat down behind a counter and hide to answer the phone and that of course meant he had to deal with the fact his face was all of six inches from Laxus's crotch. He knew he should have been working, but it could have been an emergency and Laxus was currently making him pay for it, this was the only place in the building where someone his height could hide without being noticed, but it came at a high price. Laxus being the great friend he was decided to keep making blow job comments under his breathe, and decided to pull on Gajeel's ponytail to piss him off. Gajeel would slap his hand away and give him his best death glare, but Laxus would just fake apologize and say it was a habit before snickering and telling Gajeel how stupid he was being. It was only after Gajeel hit Laxus in the balls did he finally behave himself, sure he was in the fetal position and probably wanted revenge, but he was finally quiet.

Gajeel rolled his eyes and wanted to scold Rogue when he was explaining the situation, apparently they missed their ride and was stuck at the school and needed a ride home. Gajeel wasn't off for another hour and he wasn't looking forward to leaving work early but he couldn't just leave his brother stranded in the middle of night while he was trying to take care of a drunk girl too. He knew if Rogue called their parents he would never hear the end of it and probably be grounded for something that wasn't even his fault, with Gajeel's luck he would be blamed for his bad behavior rubbing off on Rogue and he really didn't want to deal with that. Gajeel felt even more bad for his brother when he sent him a text message that he was trying to take care of Levy too, apparently she had a little too much to drink and Rogue wouldn't let Droy take her home because Gajeel was already on the way. He told Laxus he was leaving, and he gave him a thumbs up while he was still trying to remove himself from the floor, apparently Gajeel hit him a little too hard, but it was hard to feel bad for somebody who just had their dick in your face.

It was almost funny watching Rogue deal with two drunk girls, it was worse than actual babysitting. At least little kids had small legs and be caught easily, the same could be said for Levy but Rogue seemed super uncomfortable trying to make either girl sit down and behave themselves. Rogue seemed relieved when Levy ran off again just to jump in Gajeel's arms, apparently his brother had enough excitement for one night and Gajeel couldn't wait to tease him about it in the morning. For some reason they thought it would be a good idea to put two drunk girls in the back seat without supervision, Gajeel didn't really need the distraction while he was driving and Rogue needed a break from after the night he had. Levy was just a giggling mess, and Rogue's date who's name was Yukino kept tying to climb out the window so Gajeel had to put the damn child locks on. Gajeel liked to think he wasn't a very jealous person, but when he looked in the rear view mirror because both girls were suddenly quiet he was less than happy to see that Yukino climbed onto Levy's lap and was trying to kiss her. There was a half of second where Gajeel had a perverted thought, and there was another half of second when Gajeel thought the act was just innocent, but jealousy won that round and he pulled over and told Rogue to remove his girlfriend from his.

He knew was going to have a bigger challenge of sneaking a girl into his room than Gajeel ever did, their parents room was right down the hall. Gajeel suggested that he should just stick her in the guest room, so even if his parents found out there wouldn't be an annoying sex talk to go along with the one about responsibility. Before he left his brother on his own he had to make sure he knew if he did anything stupid he would kill him. "Hey brat, ya remember what I said about drunk girls?" Rogue rolled his eyes and there was a definite blush on his cheeks, but he should have known it was coming. Ever since his brother started getting older and going to parties Gajeel had a talk with him about personal responsibility.

"I know, I know... Drunk girls can't say yes. Don't be a fucking piece of shit pervert, or you'll cut my dick off and I'll have to sit down and piss like a woman." Gajeel had to laugh at Rogue's imitation of him, he knew his brother was probably sick of hearing it. But his mom shoved that down his throat before he even knew what to do with a woman. Gajeel hoped for Rogue's sake that Yukino would just go to sleep, he knew his brother was going to suffer from sleeping on the floor all night, but at least he could wake up knowing he did the right thing.

Gajeel had his own situation to deal with, Levy was still laughing at everything when Gajeel was carrying her to his room, he ended up texting her mom to let her know she was okay. He thought about just laying her down and tucking her in, but her dress was covered in glitter, and he was sure he would never get all of it out of his hair or bed. "Hey Shrimp? Do you want to change into something a little less sparkly?" Gajeel had to hold a hell of a poker face when Levy told him that he was going to have to help her, if he didn't know she was giggling because she was drunk, he would think she was laughing at the situation she just put him in. Her dress was pretty easy to take off, it was just a zipper that went down the back and she helped him pull it over her head. He almost lost his shit when he realized she decided not to wear a bra today and had his perfect view of her breasts.

"Gajeel! You pervert don't stare!." She crossed her arms over her chest, but he couldn't tell if she was really mad or not because she was still talking throw giggles. He wanted to apologize, but she could have warned him that she was pretty much naked under her dress but she probably forgot in her drunken haze. "Well, since you're being so nice, I guess you can stare a little bit." Gajeel could feel his breathe get caught in his throat when she exposed herself to him a second time, this time wasn't an accident. Gajeel had to listen to his own advice, Levy was drunk and there was no way he was going to act on any of the terrible things he was thinking of doing to her at the moment. "Gajeel... I want you to touch me." Between Levy's words and the look on her face he was having a real hard time ignoring how tight his pants had suddenly become.

As much as he didn't want to turn her down, he pulled one of his t-shirts over her head and tucked her in he did his best to ignore her pouting, it was hard for him to ever say no to her when she gave him that pleading look with her eyes. Lily was already cuddled up to Levy on her pillow, and he was glad that his cat was there to remind him to behave himself. He was happy to have Levy all to himself and he was fine with just cuddling her and giving her all the kisses she wanted, but she was making this night a whole lot harder than it had to be. When he was just starting to fall asleep he could feel Levy climb on top of him, most of the time it was a completely innocent act, even though it was an intimate position they would usually just talk like that. But he could tell she had no interest in talking when she pulled her borrowed shirt off and kissed him again. "Levy you're drunk. If you still wanna do all of this stuff in the morning, we can talk about it. But right now you need to go to bed." It was hard enough dealing with all the pouting let alone the fact she had been taking her clothes off faster than Gray could all night. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry when his mostly naked girlfriend fell asleep on top of him, but he had the last laugh in the morning when he got to tell her about her new stripping habit over breakfast while she was trying to nurse a hangover.

Gajeel pulled Levy a little closer to him, even if he was going to have a hard time sleeping, he was going to try. He honestly had a shitty time trying to sleep without Levy, and that was half the reason he was still suffering through Jellal and Erza's good time. He didn't want to wake up Levy just to take her to his house when she was already sleeping fine. Maybe he would just sleep in tomorrow and convince Levy that breakfast in bed on the weekend was a good thing.

I know I don't usually update this quickly, but I had a little more spare time and decided to bust this chapter out in one day. Sorry for the mistakes, I didn't have much time to edit, and if I didn't post today it wouldn't have been up until next week. Thank you guys for sticking with me this whole time, and we still have plenty of chapters to go! -Love, Chesxca
