Gajeel stared at Levy as she slept, a smile curling his lips. It wasn't often that he was awake before her. He brushed some of the hair off her forehead, loving the way she nuzzled into his hand. She was just too cute.
He leaned close and pressed his mouth to her ear, tugging lightly with his teeth. She stirred, rolling onto her back, but didn't wake completely, and he grinned. He slid down until he was at her feet and brushed a quick kiss to each toe, making them wiggle and her squirm. Then he went up, peppering kisses up her leg until he reached her thigh. She was wearing one of his shirts, although it looked more like a dress on her, and he grinned.
He pushed the hem up a bit, baring her thigh and the adorable panties she was wearing underneath. He stayed to the outside, kissing and nipping and continuously pushing the shirt up until her stomach was bare. He knew the minute she woke up completely from the way her body tensed, but she didn't open her eyes and he leaned down, his hair falling over his shoulder to brush her stomach. She sucked in a breath, letting it out on a quiet giggle and he smiled when he pressed a kiss to her hip bone. Then he nipped it and she squealed.
"Gajeel!" He glanced up, smirking when he saw her brown eyes staring down at him.
"Good morning," he rumbled, brushing his lips across her stomach to place a kiss on the other hip. She squirmed again and he nipped the bone again. She'd always been extra sensitive there. "I love you," he murmured into her skin and she wrapped her hands in his hair, dragging him up so she could kiss him.
"Love you too," she breathed, smiling brightly.
He'd always loved that smile.
