He sat in that damned alley for hours, he had not expected how much a glimspe of her would affect him. She had been wearing a white blouse and a black pencil skirt which showed off her more curvasious figure. Her blue hair was longer now hanging down to her mid back, but the locks were still as wild ever. The headband she wore was the one he had gave her the day he left. A sad smile reached his face. "So she still wears it huh, guess that mean she doesn't hate me" he said to himself unwillingly remebering their last day with each other.
"I cant believe our guild is done, what are we all going to do" Levy said as sadness filled her voice
Gajeel kept his usual appearance, arms crossed with a perminet scowl on his face.
"Well im gonna train, there is no way im gonna let that flame brain piece of shit get stronger than me" he said with a growl.
Levy glanced at her feet and kicked at an imaginary rock, "you know Gajeel I had been meaning to ask you if you would help me get stronger. Maybe I could come with you and Lily..." she began.
"Gihi you think you can keep up the big boys" gajeel laughed and petted her on the head "Shrimp why dont you stick with the brains and ill work on the brawns" he was ripped from the thought as a sharp pain radiated thoughout his cheek.
"youre an ass!" Levy shouted clutching her hand while in pain "who in the hell had peiercings everywhere. That hurt like a bitch..." she said while tending to her aching hand.
"Shrimp youre the one who slapped me, so dont act like the victum" he said trying to contain his laughter over the sight of her clutching her hand.
"Gajeel" she looked up at him "I was being serious, I-I want to go with you" she said
Gajeel sighed, "Shrimp its not that easy. You need to live your own life and I need to move on with mine" He immediately saw a reaction from his words.
Her eyes began to sting as unshed tears formed "but Gajeel I have something to tell you, something I have wanted to tell you for months now and just didnt know how to say it, but now I do" she took a deep breath in willing herself to continue "Gajeel I-" she was stopped mid sentence by Gajeel picking her up in a crushing hug.
"Shrimp stop. This is goodbye for now, but I promise you that you will see me again." he continued to hold her enjoying the feel of her body against his. Her sent of ink and roses filled his nose. The sheer closeness of her clouded his judgement and just for a moment he thought of taking her with him , but this is something that had to be done. He had to overcome his past and insure hisself that he would be able to protect her no matter what. He just hoped when that happened he wouldnt be too late. He sat her back onto her feet and lifted her chin up so she would look at him. He reached for the knot on his head band and untied it. "here shrimp, keep this safe for me" he said with a smile as he handed the cloth material to her. She instantly burst into tears. With that Gajeel turned around and walked away. He didnt look back because he knew if he would, he would scoop her into his arms and run away with her and it just wasnt time for that yet.
Gajeel watched all the lights in the bookstore turn off. He sighed, he wished she had stayed outside just a little longer so he could see her for just a few more moment. "Oh well" he sighed. " I guess its time to work" He tilted his fedora forward as he stood up and started walking in the direction of his week long gig.
