Levy stood in the middle of her bedroom, unable to completely process what the Iron Dragon Slayer on the other side of the door had said. She
hadn't realized that he had been awake when she kissed his cheek. Her mind was racing with thoughts of what he just said, did that mean he actually did have feelings for her?
The next knock on the door was much softer, Gajeel sighed and started to speak. "I think there's something we need to talk about Shri- I mean Levy.." he says in a soft tone, surprising the script mage.
As she opened the door, she looked up to see the soft smile of the Iron Dragon Slayer in front of her. There was a slight blush to his cheeks, making Levy smile at his expense. "What do we need to talk about?" She asked curiously.
Instead of speaking, Gajeel's hand reached out and lifted her chin to look into his eyes. Levy's knees grew weak as she looked into the Dragon Slayer's eyes, they were breathtaking to the script mage. Suddenly, Gajeel's chest was pressing against hers. When did that happen? He's so close to me...he smells delicious…
Levy heard the Dragon Slayer take a shaky breath before he started to speak. "I know I haven't been showing you how I… how I really feel about you." Gajeel pauses, as if he was trying to find the right words to say to the blue haired beauty in front of him. "Like I said earlier.. a Dragon and Dragon Slayer only have one person that are with. Once they mate, it's for life."
Gajeel'a heart skipped a beat and he was unable to speak properly. Damn Shrimp...you've got my head all kinds of messed up… "I-i have l-liked you for a long time Shrimp. I-I just haven't had the guts to say it to you… and I wanted to wait for the right time to tell you.. but you're my mate Shrimp." He says nervously, not sure if she was going to get scared at the thought of mating to him.
The script mage couldn't believe her ears. His mate? I can't believe it! She let off an internal scream before looking up at a flustered Gajeel in front of her. Her hand reaches up to stroke his cheek, surprising the Dragon Slayer.
"I think...I've had a feeling I was your mate for some time now." Levy admits to the man in front of her, making his eyes widen. Suddenly, Levy was being picked up and taken to her bed. With wide eyes, Levy squeaked and looked at the Dragon Slayer, wondering what had gotten into him. Levy looked up at him with wide eyes. "Uhm…" was all she could think to say, making the Dragon Slayer chuckle.
"I want to make things right between the two of us. I want to make us becoming mates something special, that's why I hadn't told you yet. I was waiting for the perfect opportunity." He says as his hands run through her hair. Her breath was coming in short spurts, she didn't think she was ever going to get used to this. "I want to wait until the perfect opportunity to make you my mate, but until that time comes...I guess I can settle for you just being my girl." He says with a smirk on his face.
Levy's heart was surely about to explode from all the strain that it has been going through because of this man today. The blush on her cheeks rivaled the color of Erza's scarlet locks. "Y-your girl?"
Gajeel gave her a soft smile and stroked her cheek, loving the look of blush on her cheeks. Gods, everything about her is perfect...and hopefully she's all mine. "Yes my girl...whataya say Shrimp?"
Levy's shocked expression turned into a beautiful smile. "Of course I'll be your girl." She says as she leans up to kiss his nose, making the Dragon Slayer smile. Gajeel wrapped his arms around the script mage, burying his face in her neck. Her scent was like a drug to him, she smelled of leather and lavender. He took in her scent, breathing heavily before planting several kisses along her neck.
Shivering from the touch she was receiving, Levy whimpered and tangled her fingers in his long black hair. The groan that came from his mouth sent pleasure straight to her core, making her moan.
"Seems like someone is enjoying this?" He whispers in her ear before kissing it softly. His lips trailed kisses from her ear all the way to her sweet lips, capturing them in a breathtaking kiss. As their lips moved together, Levy's hands massaged his scalp gently before moving to wrap around his neck.
Levy was the first to pull away, gasping for air as she looks at the man on top of her. She blushed and looked into his eyes, seeing all the feelings that she was too scared to express; that is, until now.
"I.. I don't want to wait. I think that now is the perfect time. We've been through so much together. Even though we haven't been a couple, I feel like we were close enough to each other that it was like we were dating. I would love nothing more than to be your girl." Levy says with a small smile.
Gajeel couldn't believe what he was hearing. She didn't want to wait to become his mate. Leaning down to kiss her, the Iron Dragon Slayer nipped at her lips softly. If he was going to take her, he was going to take his sweet time and make her scream her name for hours.
Before he could think more on this, there was a loud knock on the door.

Lucy awoke the next morning in a daze. She looked around her room, expecting to have Laxus next to her in bed like last night. Seeing as that wasn't the case, she sighed and made her way into her kitchen to start some breakfast.
On her way to the kitchen, she was a little surprised that her team hasn't dropped by. Normally, they would be harassing her to cook for them by now, but there was no sign of them. Maybe they've finally learned to respect my personal space. That'd be a nice thought… Lucy thought to herself as she poured herself some cereal in a bowl.
Looking at her watch, she realizes it's a lot later than she thought, she was supposed to meet Laxus in his office in about twenty minutes and she hadn't even picked out the mission they were going on yet! Taking the last few bites, she nearly runs out of the house. It was a good thing that Fairy Tail was only a quarter mile away from her house.
Out of breath, the Celestial Wizard slowed her pace when she was nearly to the doors. She hoped that there would be at least one mission that would pique her interest. Most of the times when she went on missions, it would be Natsu or someone else that picked and she just tagged along.
Once she opened the doors to the guild hall, Lucy immediately went to the request board, ignoring everyone else there at the moment. She had to get a good mission before someone else picked it up. Her eyes scanned the board and she came across one that caught her eye.
Finding and reading some books for 30,000 jewel? This is perfect! I wonder why Levy hasn't grabbed this mission... oh well it's mine now Lucy thought to herself as she read the flyer. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted something pink and blue headed her way. The voice was unmistakable as he started to speak.
"Hey Luce! Whatcha got there?" Natsu says as he walks up to her, putting his arm around her shoulder like he always did. Lucy smiled at her best friend and the blue exceed that followed him.
"A mission I'm about to take. It looked perfect for a little solo mission." She says as she shows him the flyer, hoping that he wouldn't ask her to go on a mission with him.
Just as she expected, Natsu looked at the flyer and then at her "Looks like a mission Levy would take. You sure you don't wanna go on a mission with the two of us? It would be just like old times. It feels like forever since we've gotten to go on a mission together." He says with a huge smile.
Lucy gave him a small smile. "I would love to Natsu… but can it wait until I get back? I really want to do this mission before Levy finds it and takes it." She looks up at him, seeing a disappointed look on his face.
Natsu shrugged, trying to seem like he didn't care. "It's fine...maybe some other time…" he says before walking away. Lucy watched him, shocked at how easily he gave up. Normally if she said no to going on a mission with him, he would beg for what seemed like hours.
What's gotten into him? Lucy wondered as she made her way to the back of the guild hall, remembering the secret entrance to the second floor Levy had showed her. Making her way to the library, she smirked and thought to herself. Never thought I would be sneaking around the guild hall to go see Laxus… this is like a dream come true. We're even going on a mission together. It's almost like he wants something more.
Spotting his office, she makes her way to it and knocks before opening the door. Her eyes widened at the sight in front of her. The first thing that she noticed was that the Lightning Dragon Slayer was wearing a pair of glasses. They made him look impossibly more sexy.
The second thing she noticed was Laxus wasn't wearing his usual purple button up shirt and slacks. Instead he was wearing a dark gray V-neck shirt, it was extremely tight; fitting deliciously to his every muscle, accentuating them.
She watched as he pushed his seat away from his desk her eyes trailing down his body to see he was wearing a pair of black sweatpants with the Fairy Tail Logo. Holy fuck… he's smoking hot… how did I get so god damned lucky? Lucy thought to herself as she smiled at the sexy man in front of her.
"If you take a picture it'll last longer Princess, although I won't complain about a hottie like you staring." He says with a smirk before walking over to her, giving her a passionate kiss. "What mission did you find for us?"
"It's easy… and you won't have to do anything." She says with a bright smile on her face. "All we have to do is find some books and I will read them to make sure there are no hidden spells in them. It'll be super easy, so we can spend most of the time doing whatever we want." She looks up at him, unable to contain her excitement about the trip. "We will leave in a couple of hours."
Laxus gave her a genuine smile, he couldn't believe how excited she was about this mission. "Sounds good to me. I'll pick you up at your apartment at 3:00." He said as his hands snuck around her waist, holding her close to him. Lucy's heart raced as she ran her hands along his chest, coming up his body to wrap around his neck. She could feel his rock hard body against hers, making her shiver.
"Sounds good to me. I'll go home and get ready." Even though she said the words, she didn't attempt to move from the position. This made Laxus smirk before his hands run up and down her back. Slowly he leans down and kisses her hair, taking in her wonderful scent. He couldn't get enough of it.
Just then he thought about something Gajeel had said during one of their training sessions. A Dragon and Dragon Slayer only have one person that are with. Once they mate, it's for life. Maybe he was right, that this little celestial wizard was the one he was supposed to be with. Until that day, Laxus didn't have a clue about Dragon Slayers except about their magic. Since he was a Second Generation Dragon Slayer, he didn't think he would have to worry about the same things that a First Generation would.
She fits against me perfectly, it's like she was made just for me. I wonder if she feels anything towards me. Laxus' mind was racing in a million different directions, but they all focused on the girl in her arms the second her hand touched his cheek. "Did you hear me? I asked if you'd teleport me home, I don't think you want my team seeing us together." She said with a sigh.
Laxus looked down at her and chuckled softly. "I'd take them on for you, but I'd prefer the first option." Suddenly, a stream of lightning came and took them away, leaving her breathless, the next thing she knew she was standing in her room.
Laxus smiled at her, letting go before he disappeared. Lucy sighed happily, looking around her room before grabbing her suitcase and packing it with everything she thought she would need. Lucy hoped for a moment that Laxus would bring some more of those shirts on their mission. Pulling out her phone, Lucy texted the Lightning Dragon Slayer before heading to Levy's to get her glasses she left there yesterday.
Lucy: Hey Mr. Dragon Slayer(; I think you should wear that outfit A LOT more often… I wouldn't mind getting another look before we leave(;
-
Natsu couldn't place it, but there was something different about Lucy. He had noticed it ever since they had come back from their mission they took without her. When they came in unannounced and watched movies, she smelled so different… but familiar at the same time; It almost smelled like another Dragon Slayer.
"What's up with you flame brain… you're more pouty than normal." His rival said with a small smirk. Gray sat down beside him and turned to face him. "What's going on in that head of yours?"
"Have you noticed anything different about Lucy?" Natsu asked, taking Gray by surprise.
"Uh…no not really, but I haven't seen her much lately anyway. Why do you ask?" Gray was intrigued on why Natsu was thinking about the Celestial Wizard.
"She smells different...almost like another Dragon Slayer. But I can't figure out why she would smell that way. She doesn't hang out with anyone else but us and Levy." Gray looked at Natsu like he was growing a second head. What in the hell was he talking about? There were only three other Dragon Slayers in the guild. Who could she be hanging out with that Natsu doesn't recognize their scent?
"I know something you don't know!" Said a familiar voice as she walked up to them, stumbling slightly from all the booze she had drank already this morning. Cana smiles and goes over to the other two wizards, wrapping her arms around their necks. She leaned forward to whisper into the two boys ears. "Your little Lucy has been having some fun with another member of Fairy Tail.. but I'll never tell you who it is. You'd never guess in a million years." Cana said with a laugh before walking away.
Gray looks at the card mage that was walking away from them. Cana was known around the guild hall for never being able to keep her mouth shut, but how would she know this information before the two of them? They were Lucy's best friends and teammates; why wouldn't she tell them if she was seeing someone?
"Do you think what Cana said is true? And where in the hell did Lucy go?" Natsu asked Gray as he looked around the guild hall.
"Well.. I guess there's only one way to find out." Gray says as he stands up, "We'll go to Lucy's and talk to her. Maybe she went back home and you didn't notice." Gray thought as he looked around the guild hall.
Natsu was all for Gray's plan, that was until a growl erupted from his stomach the likes of which Gray had ever heard. Natsu gave him a sheepish grin and chuckled softly. "We can do that after I eat, I'm starving!" He says before running up to the bar.
Gray just watched him with wide eyes before shaking his head. "That boy is going to be the death of me." He exclaimed before following him to grab a bite to eat.
