Training Day

Levy and Lucy are at the gym and just happen to be watching Erza spar!

"Oh sorry Lu," Levy said as the blonde woman looked up from the mat. "I didn't realize that was going to knock you down." She hid a smile behind her boxing gloves before continuing, "Those lessons from Gajeel are paying off. Are you okay?"

Lucy gingerly sat up mentally checking for new places reporting pain. "I think I'm fine," she said as she slowly shook her head from side to side. "Other than that annoying high pitched sound," she looked around the gym. "We need to figure out where that's coming from and stop it."

Levy knelt down next to her sparring partner while pulling off her gloves. She looked deeply into her eyes noticing how Lucy didn't seem to be focusing very well. "I think we'd better stop for the day. Okay?"

A second too long passed before Lucy nodded her agreement.

"Here, let me help you up," Levy offered.

Both women stood up and Levy quickly retrieved her gloves. Levy helped move her friend to a bench near the wall. As she slipped off Lucy's gloves, she noticed the blonde was focusing on something moving over her shoulder. Levy smiled knowing that they were perfectly positioned to watch Erza spar in the ring with Natsu and Gajeel. She made Lucy promise not to move while she put away their gloves.

"See something you like over there?" She gently teased as she pressed a water bottle into one of Lucy's hands while putting two small pain relievers in the other.

Lucy blushed. Instead of answering she took the medicine.

Levy chuckled but sat down at Lucy's side so they could watch the sparring.

A sigh a few minutes latter had her anxiously looking at Lucy.

"Are you really okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Lucy said as she leaned forward a bit. "Erza's really pretty isn't she?"

"You think she's pretty?" Levy asked with a bit of a smile.

"Yes, Erza is just so beautiful all the time." Lucy sat back up and leaned her head against the wall. "It doesn't matter if it's early morning or after a long night of dancing, she's just… so… pretty! She has a lot of grace, too, even during battle."

"That's - truuuuuue," Levy drawled slowly pushing down a giggle.

Lucy sighed again. "Lev, I think I'm really into her," she confessed.

That broke Levy and she ended up laughing uncontrollably. Lucy just stared, open mouthed, at her hysterical friend.

"Lucy I think you hit your head a little too hard," Levy declared as she wound down from her laughing jag. "You and Erza have been dating for years!"

"We have?" she asked wide eyed.

Levy nodded. Lucy smiled and sat back.

"Then I'm definitely in to her!"
