Levy pressed her lips together and tried not to laugh.
"So… how exactly did you wind up hanging from a tree?" she asked, walking around him. It was a rather humorous sight, his long black hair was almost touching the ground and his tunic had fallen to teasingly flash his abs.
He scowled, arms crossed over his chest and she paused in front of his face. With him hanging there like that they were actually eye to eye for once.
"Salamander," he finally snarled, and Levy had to bite her lip to keep the laugh from bubbling over. His scowl darkened and he reached for her, but she quickly jumped out of the way. "Are ya gonna help me down or not?"
"The great Gajeel, asking me for help." She pursed her lips as if she were thinking. "I don't know…"
He growled, but before he could start ranting she was right in front of him. She pressed a light kiss to his nose and pulled back, just far enough so she could give him her most mischievous grin.
"I think I have to take advantage of this."
Then she pressed her mouth against his in a kiss that made her forget how to breathe. At least until she heard the loud snap and only had a moment to jump back when the branch - and Gajeel - fell to the ground.
"Oops," she said, but it turned into a squeal when Gajeel exploded out of the wreckage and grabbed her ankle, flipping her so she was the one hanging upside down. He smirked at her and ignored her flailing arms, and wrapped an arm around her waist so he could lift her face to his.
"Not so fun, is it?" he growled, but before she could protest his mouth was on hers in a bruising kiss. When he pulled back so she could pant for breath she gave him a wide grin.
"Actually… that wasn't too bad."
