CHAPTER 3: All's well when it ends well

The sun was shining on Levy's face, waking her up. She looked around her room, remembering bits and pieces of one strange dream, but, as soon as she turned away from the window, she forgot what little memory she had about Gajeel coming to visit her in the middle of the night. A couple of hours later, she got up and ready for a new day, stretching herself with a wide smile. Levy went to the window and opened it, letting the fresh morning air cool her room. She got dressed and hurried to the guild for some breakfast.

Gajeel woke up grumpy. Not only did he upset Levy enough to make her ignore him completely, his stack of iron was gone. He remembered coming home upset and having a few bites, but he didn't realize he ate the whole damn stack. He threw some clothes on him and headed for the guild.

Mira greeted him happily, noticing quickly his mood.

"Good morning!"

"Gimme a double!"

"That bad, huh?" Mirajane placed a clean glass in front of him and poured some whiskey. "Let me guess, Levy's still pissed." Gajeel snickered his indignation and downed his drink.

"...'Pparantly" Tsk… Should've known she'd get angry… I'm not really her knight in shining armor…" Gajeel asked for a refill, but Mira declined. Instead, she offered a glass of iron nails, which he happily accepted.

"Maybe she doesn't need a knight in shining armor." She winked at him, making Gajeel feel even more miserable. "Cheer up, Gajeel! Levy's not the type to hold a grudge, no matter what you put her through. You of all the people should know that." Gajeel glared menacingly but, before he could retort her comment, Levy's voice filled the almost empty pub.

"Shit! She's here… Hide me!" Gajeel looked desperate at the Devil girl, who merely grinned wickedly before grabbing him by the scruff of him neck, pulling him over the bar and shoving Gajeel unceremoniously under the counter. "Ouch! You fucking…" Gajeel started, but was quickly silenced by Mira's death glare.

"Shh. Good morning, Levy! What'll it be?" Mira took Gajeel's glass and washed it clean.

"Morning! Uhm… I'm not sure… A sandwich, maybe? And some milk." Levy made herself comfortable on the stool and waited for her order.

"Here you go, hon." Mirajane disappeared a minute behind the kitchen doors, returning with a plate and a glass of milk. "How are you feeling? You left pretty upset last night…" Mira tried to make small talk after Levy took a bite from her food.

"Oh, yeah… I almost forgot. Meh, it wasn't such a big deal." Say what? Gajeel's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Really? Not a big deal? The way you slapped Gajeel said everything." Mira laughed, seeing Kurogane's expression.

"Well, it did bother me they used me as a dare… I mean, I'm not a prize for a game, I'm a human being, for crying out loud!" Levy sipped her milk and continued pouring her heart out, unaware of the third pair of ears that were listening intently. "But, on the other hand, it was…" What? What? Gajeel was impatient to hear more.

"Why are you blushing?" Mira laughed, snapping Levy back to reality.

"Oh, I didn't even realize it… I'm just… It was… Oh, my god… It was everything I expected from my first kiss!" Levy was about to squeal like Juvia from the memory. Say… WHAT? Gajeel was about to get up and stare at the bluenette, but Mira stopped him.

"Really? Your first kiss? I could've swore Team Shadowgear…"

"No, no! Don't even say it!"

"Tell me more!" Mira placed her hand under her chin and got closer to Levy, listening intently.

"What do you want me to say? It was… like a dream… Passionate, gentle, soft… Oh, my gosh! I freekin… loved it! But I guess… I ruined everything with that slap… But his smug laugh made me so… UGH! He's so obnoxious sometimes!"

"He is Gajeel, after all." Hey! I'm right here, goddamnit! The girls laughed. "So you're not upset."

"No, heavens, no!" Levy took another bite from her sandwich.

"I saw Gajeel moments ago, he was really stressed about your reaction… And he asked me if you were still angry. He was really down." Gajeel pinched Mirajane, earning a knee in the head.

'Good! I'll let him boil for a couple more hours. He's freekin' adorable when he gets worked up on stuff like this. Did you notice he does this thing with his foot when he's annoyed or worked up about something?" Levy's tone changed, making Gajeel gasp softly.

'The drumming? Yeah, I guess everybody noticed it, except for him." Mira laughed again, making Gajeel scowl.

"Well, I'm off to the library. Thanks for the meal. And, if Gajeel asks about me again, tell him I'm really pissed." Mira winked at the bluenette and watched her run through the main door, making sure the coast was clear for Gajeel. He got up with a shocked expression, looking at the main doors.

"There you have it. You're freekin' adorable. Now go get her, silly!" Mirajane shoved Gajeel in the ribs, trying to get him back to reality. A wide grin tugged at his lips as he walked calmly out the door, following Levy to the bookstore. He needed no address, he merely followed her scent. Once he got to the old-looking house where tens of thousands of books were resting peacefully, he opened the doors, moving a little bell that was above his head.

"Good morning! What can I do you for?" A short girl appeared behind a counter once the bell chimed.

"Uhm… I'm looking for Levy… McGarden." Gajeel was unsure how to tackle the woman.

"She's visiting the 'romance' section today. If you follow the signs, you can't miss it. Uhm… Sir…?" The brunette blushed, taking Gajeel in.

"Yeah?" He turned to look with his red eyes at the small form.

"Are you, perhaps, Gajeel Redfox, the Dragon Slayer?" The girl was a hot shade of red.

"Yeah. What of it?" He turned to look at her better, expecting a surprise attack.

"Ohmygodohmygodohmygod… Could… you sign this for me?" The girl shoved a picture of him and Pantherlily under his nose, looking at him expectantly. Gajeel stared at her, clearly not expecting, of all the things, a fan. Even worse, a fan GIRL.

"Uhm… Gimme a pen or something… Who're you?" Gajeel took a marker from the young woman and scribbled something on the paper.

"Alisha." The brunette had little hearts in her eyes when Gajeel returned his signed photo. To Alisha. If you wanna be something, be bad ass. It always works. Kurogane no Gajeel Steam blew from the girl's nostrils, whimpering and squealing as Gajeel gave her a Gihi smile and went to look for Levy. He didn't have to search for long, the signs were pretty easy to follow and his nose told him Levy was nearby. He plastered his crooked smile and peeked around the bookshelf, wanting to surprise Levy, but what he saw made his breath stop.

Levy was bending next to the shelf, exposing her glorious behind to Gajeel. He gulped loudly, admiring the red shorts and her laced underwear that was showing.

"Hmm…" Levy was clearly unaware Gajeel was standing behind her as she was looking at the titles for something to read. Gajeel smiled and brought himself to his full height, leaning on the shelf with his arms crossed. "Ah, this is perf… HOLY...! Gajeel! You freakin' gave me a heart attack!' Levy dropped the book and placed her hand over her heart, trying to calm it. "Geez! You could've let me know you were behind me!" A hovering lacrima came behind a shelf.

"Please respect your fellow readers and keep silent all times." With this, the lacrima hovered away, letting them stare after it.

"You'd better keep quiet, shrimp." Levy noticed his smile and the desire that was playing in his red eyes.

"How… long have you been standing there…?" Levy blushed.

"Oh, long enough to enjoy the full view." Crap… He didn't… "I didn't know you were into that kind of underwear." Gajeel took a step closer to Levy, smiling wickedly.

"Wh… Why the hell were you watching my…" Levy's face was almost as red as Gajeel's eyes.

"You were showing it to me, it was hard not to look. It looks great, by the way." He took another step her way, making Levy back away.

"You… You!" The bluenette felt the table on her legs, looking around for an escape, but there was none once Gajeel noticed she was planning to evade him. He stretched his arms to prevent her from running away and walked calmly to her.

"Can I touch it?" Gajeel grinned seeing Levy's shocked expression.

"Like hell! You want another slap?" Levy's heart drummed hard in her small chest, the butterflies making her feel woozy.

"Nah, one was enough. Oh, yeah, aren't you still mad at me?" Gajeel's chest was so close it almost touched her.

"Of course I'm mad at you!"

"Liar…" Gajeel bent to her level and placed his hands on the table.

"You're obnoxious!"

"No, I'm not, I'm fucking adorable. You said it yourself." Gajeel took her in, tracing with his eyes every movement of her pupils, every reddened pore.

"You heard…" Levy gasped, feeling his breath on her lips.

"Every word." Gajeel grinned, seeing Levy's horrified expression.

"And, if you thought your first kiss was like a dream, let's see how real the second one will be." Gajeel hummed, getting closer to Levy, who was too shocked to do anything but stare wide open as he brushed his lips over hers. Gajeel let himself enjoy the moment, slithering his tongue to taste her lips ever so slightly. He watched Levy intently as her eyes closed slowly, letting herself go with the flow. Smiling, Gajeel placed his right hand on her cheek, holding Levy in place as he locked his lips with her. Levy exhaled heavily, not even realizing she was holding her breath the whole time. She raised her hands and caressed his chest, Gajeel deepening the kiss, forcing his way inside her mouth to taste her. Levy tangled her fingers in his long, raven spikes, taking him over the edge when she pulled. Gajeel lowered his hands and placed them on her hips, kissing her like his life depended on it. He grabbed her buttocks and pulled Levy in his arms, leaning her on a bookshelf with too much force. Just when Levy raised her legs to wrap them around his waist, the lacrima came hovering above their heads, interrupting them.

"Please respect your fellow readers and keep silent all times." Levy jumped quickly from Gajeel's arms flushed, watching the lacrima hover away.

"I hope you realize this little dare makes you my boyfriend." Levy smiled wickedly as Gajeel approached her with a naughty smile and grabbed her hand.

"Oh… the horror…" The Dragon Slayer mocked a sarcastic tone, making Levy giggle. "As long as you keep wearing panties like these…" Gajeel placed a hand on Levy's behind (making her face explode), feeling the rim of her underwear. "I don't object. Come on, I gotta laugh in Flame brain's face after I kick his ass." Levy giggled when Gajeel pulled her close to him and wrapped an arm around her shoulder with a smug smile on his face. Somehow, Levy felt this was the beginning of the best time in her life.
