Levy blinked down at him, taken aback by his words, her midnight eyes flickered gold with human emotion and she smiled at him, stroking his long black hair.
"Why don't you get a top on and we'll go see everyone, you said they were worried about me right?" She smiled and he groaned, shaking his head slowly against her chest and she giggled, he was like a little child. In truth, she didn't mind, she'd missed him even though it felt like she had only been gone a day but she still missed him.
"Can't we stay up here a little longer and let them worry...?" He asked and she nibbled her lip, she found it cute that he wanted to stay upstairs with her but she didn't want to keep everyone in a state of worry any longer than she already had. She parted her lips to try and convince him when there was a small ripping noise and she blinked as she stared down to see part of her stomach showing from the torn shirt. "Oops... now we have to find you something else to wear...!" He said in a mischievous voice and her jaw fell open.
"Wh-what... how did you even... you only have the use of one hand... ju-that's impossible... wh-why did you even do that!?" She stammered and he shrugged as he moved back and slid his other arm up, holding both ends of the ripped shirt and she gulped as she held her chest. "D-don't you dare!" She squeaked and he chuckled as he slowly began pulling, causing the shirt to tear even more, she felt the cool air brush against her skin, making her shiver slightly and she grabbed the two ends pulling them closed and staring at him with a small glare. "You are a pervert; find me something else to wear!" She snapped and he grinned as he shook his head like a disobedient child.
"Nah... You get something, my wardrobes right there" he said, nodding his head behind them and she followed his gaze to the tall, sandy coloured closet. She looked back at him and shuffled backwards, keeping the shirt closed even though the rip wasn't high enough to ruin her modesty. Her feet touched the floor and she turned her back on him, walking towards the wardrobe and she released the ripped cloth from her hold as she opened it and her eyes went wide.
"H... how did they...?" She stammered as she reached up, her hand sliding against the orange fabric with white lace lining the skirt and chest. "How did you get these?" Levy asked as she saw several of her other dresses lined up beside it with the matching bandannas and dolly shoes.
"My uncle... he explained what had happened to your parents when they allowed them back in the town and your mother gave him some clothes for when you woke up, she was pretty upset as well... to learn what you'd done and the fact that Jeremiah had... well you know" he explained as she pulled out the orange dress and placed it on the door. She pulled the shirt over her head, keeping her back to him and she head him chuckle as she reached for her dress. "You know... hiding won't do you any good right..." he purred, right behind her and she shivered, holding the shirt against her bare chest and her skin tingled as his fingertips stroked along her sides.
"G-Gajeel, I need to get dressed..." she whispered, unable to get her voice to work as he bent down, kissing her neck and his thumbs hooked the waist band of the shorts.
"No one is stopping you" he uttered as he continued to shower her neck in slow, deep kisses and running his tongue along her skin. Her hands got tighter on the shirt as her stomach became warm and bubbly, like she was excited and well... she kind of was. "Go on... get dressed" he mumbled into her neck and she gulped, dropping the shirt as she reached for her clothing and one hand slid quickly up her stomach. His touch made her gasp as he gently cupped her left breast and she shrunk back but he had already caught her, his hand was warm and soft as it gently squeezed her and she whimpered. "Levy... please..." he whispered in her ear and she bit her lip. She knew just exactly what he was asking and she swallowed as she nodded her head, not trusting her voice.
The feel of his fangs on her skin made her shiver and she bit her lip with a slight moan as they penetrated her skin and she sighed. His tongue massaged her skin and lapped away the black blood slipping down her shoulder as he fed, his hand made her feel on fire and she closed her eyes taking in everything. The feel of his hand, his skin touching hers, his mouth on her neck, it felt amazing and she leaned into him as he growled. She had begun to relax a little when he released her neck and she felt his other hand moving, slowly sliding between the fabric layer of the boxers and her skin.
"Gajeel... w-what are you doing!?" She squeaked her eyes snapping open, she started wriggling in his hold and he chuckled, kissing her healing neck and it sent tingles across her flesh as she shivered.
"Calm down... I'm not gonna hurt you" he said in her ear and she relaxed as she felt his hand skin lower and her heart began thumbing hard in her chest as she felt his fingers brush her hip bone. Levy closed her eyes tightly, unsure of what he was doing when a small knock at the door made him freeze and she let out a sigh of disappointment and relief. Gajeel slid his hands from her, the cold air making her shiver as he stepped away and she pouted, reaching up and grabbing her dress. He answered the door as she pulled the dress over her head and looked around for more suitable underwear, she was glad that her mother had given her some of her own but why were they all in his closet?
"Hey uh... I went into Levys room cause dad said to take some food up and see if she's awake and... She uh... ain't in there?" Natsu said in a confused tone and Levy pulled the boxers from her, slipping her own underwear on and she walked to the door.
"Hey, Natsu!" She smiled and he practically jumped back as he stared at her in wonder, happiness and of course... confusion and he stared between Gajeel and her.
"You... I wh-... did... was you... you're awake... why are you in his room...!?" Natsu finally managed to exclaim and Levy giggled, he had bandages on his left arm from what she could see under his yellow jumped.
"I woke up as Gajeel was coming up the stairs and my clothes were in his room so I was getting changed... don't worry, he didn't take advantage of me!" She smiled and Natsu sighed with relief as he dove forwards, tackling her and she eeped.
"We all thought you were dead, I'm so glad you're okay, you're like family to me!" He cried as she giggled, managing to catch her balance and keep them up right as she patted his head with a smile.
"Well I'm okay now... I was just exhausted, thank you but you don't need to worry about me now, I am fit as a fiddle!" She grinned and Natsu let her go from his tight embrace as he nodded, wiping away the slight tears in his eyes, she felt her heart twinge, seeing him so upset.
"Good, Lucy's hear and so is Gray and Juvia, they know and they can't wait to see you, we've had like a huge sleep over waiting for you to wake up a-and your parents called us every day, your mum came round a few times and was singing to you... everyone had been so scared you wouldn't wake up... he won't admit it but Gajeel even cried, I heard him...!" Natsu grinned then grunted as Gajeel punched him in the side of the head with a scowl as if telling him to shut up but the pink haired boy just laughed. "Come down stairs, I can't wait to see everyone's faces!" He laughed and Levy nodded as she stared up at Gajeel who was hiding a small smirk on his lips. Levy sighed, rolling her shoulders and felt her skin ripple as her horns, tail and claws disappeared and her eyes became their beautiful gold again. Before Levy could say anything, Natsu grabbed her wrist, quite literally dragging her out of the room and she grinned at Gajeel who shook his head and walked back into the room. They ran down the hall and Levy giggled as Natsu began to shout. "Guys she's awake, Levy's awake!" He yelled at the top of his lungs and they got to the spiralling stairs, Levy squeaked as they jogged down the stairs and he ran to the lounge, throwing aside the sliding door and she was greeted by a sight that almost brought tears to her eyes.
"Levy!" They screamed and she smiled brightly as her eyes blurred with tears. Lucy was sat with a bandage on her leg, her hand on her mouth as she stood up, Wendy gasped and practically ran up to her, enveloping her in a hug that she gladly returned. Gray stood up quickly, as did Juvia and the taller bluenette clutched Grays hand as tears dripped down her face. Igneels eyes went wide and he smiled brightly at her, as did Grandeeney and Skia while Weiss walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her.
"You did good kid... I'm proud" he said as she hugged him back and he ruffled her hair before he let her go and Lucy limped over as quickly as possible, not saying a word as she clutched Levys arms and pulled her tightly against her. The room was silent as the blonde began to sob, holding Levys head and shoulders as Levy wrapped her small arms around her best friend and sniffled.
"I-I was so scared... I thought you were dead... I thought he'd killed you!" She sniffled in broken sobs and Levy shook her head though Levys chest kind of made that hard to do. "Don't you ever... ever do anything so reckless ever again, do you hear me!?" Lucy said as she pulled Levy back to glare at her, her chocolate eyes narrowing in pain and anger. "You are my best friend, I have known you since we were twelve don't you ever decide you are going to leave me, I don't know what I'd do without you!" Lucy scolded and Levy nodded, watching the relieved smile grow on Lucy's lips. "But you were awesome and you saved everyone, you're a hero now!" She sighed and Levy shook her head as she looked around the room.
"It wasn't just me... it was everyone, the people that didn't make it gave their lives to save everyone, I just gave a helping hand, in truth I did die... I don't know how I'm still here, I don't remember anything after Acnologia killed me, it was all just black..." she explained and Igneel coughed as he smiled at her.
"I may have an explanation... you see, when you were here we took a blood test to make sure everything was okay and the results were... extraordinary!" He exclaimed as he stepped forwards and she cocked her head. "We never knew this would happen but it seems, infusing your weapon not only helped you bond on a Demonic level with it but also a Holy level... when you... died so to speak, the weapon gave you it's strength, holy power is running through your veins, hence the white markings" he told her and she blinked. "Those marking... we can't decipher them but they're some sort of old ruins from the old testaments, it's supposedly the language of the Angels... Levy, you're like a Demonic Angel so to speak, when you died the deed you had done caused the weapon to bond with you on its holy level as well...!" Wait so she was some sort and Demon Angel hybrid!?
