Levy loved summer, she loved to sit by the pool and read until the sun went down. She loved hearing her friends splash around in the water, although she didn't really have any desire to join them. She was content with her book.
"Oi, Shrimp!" A shadow covered her and she glanced up at Gajeel, shielding her eyes so she could see his face. He was soaked, his hair sticking to his neck and chest, and rivulets of water slid down towards his waistband. He looks good.
"Hello, Gajeel," she said, tearing her gaze away from his body and back to his face. He smirked and her cheeks flamed, but she didn't look away.
He leaned forward then and she squeaked when a few drops of water hit her leg, dangerously close to her book. "Watch the book!"
"Aren't ya going to go swimming?" he asked.
"No."
"Why not?"
She held up the book. "I'm reading."
He snorted and grabbed the book out of her hands. She gasped and reached for it but he just snapped it shut and threw it on a nearby chair.
"Hey!" she protested, but the protest turned into a squeal when he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She smacked at his back, but he just laughed and tossed her into the water. She screamed the whole way, and when her head popped out of the water she was snarling. Then there was a splash and Gajeel was there in front of her.
"You little," she growled, grabbing his shoulders and pushing down. He went under and she grinned, at least until she felt the hand lock around her ankle and tug. She went back under and glared at Gajeel who laughed in an explosion of bubbles. Her glare melted and she smiled, swimming forward a bit so she could wrap her arms around his neck.
Then she kissed him until she ran out of breath, and when they both resurfaced she laughed, completely forgetting about her book.
