Hey everyone! I'm sorry this is a little delayed, I had a family reunion today for 8 hours, not to mention it was and hour away, *sigh*... Anyways, here's the chapter!

Tossing Pebbles

Levy let herself fall back onto her fluffy bed. She let out a sigh.

Why can't everyone be as lucky as those two?

As she stared at her blank ceiling, she begged the world to send her a sign.

Eventually, it did.

A gentle tapping echoed in Levy's dark room. Each clicking noise was short and stiff, but continued on to eventually become a chorus of the pelting sounds. Levy jumped, startled at the sudden outburst of plentiful tapping. She swung her legs over the side of her bed and hopped down so her bare feet embraced the cool wood floor boards. She searched for only a short while before she discovered the source of the rapping.

It was coming from her window, more specifically, the pebbles which hit the glass of her window. Who ever was throwing them had precise aim, for not a single one missed the panes. Slightly curious and very irritated, Levy pressed her cupped hands to the glass and peaked out into the darkness of the night with squinted eyes.

To her surprise, she found Gajeel lit in the subtle moonlight, smiling so wide that she could see almost every razor sharp tooth he had. Levy scanned the rest of him and spotted a handful of pebbles settled in one of his calloused hands.

Gajeel tossed the rocks aside and motioned for Levy to come out onto her balcony. His grin had transformed from one of enthusiasm, to a smirk laced with a mischievous vibe.

Levy was shocked by his invitation, but hesitantly obeyed.

"Oi, Shimp," Gajeel yelled from beneath her balcony.

"Gajeel," Levy groaned, tiredness slurring her voice, "It's midnight and you're throwing rocks at my window, why?"

"Gihi, how 'bout you come down here and I'll tell you."

As much as Levy dreamed about hearing those words, and how after that, she'd instantaneously leap into his arms and kiss him, she was not in the right mind to do so.

"It's midnight right now and I'm not even dressed. As much as I'd love to, I'm not coming down there," Levy replied with a hint of regret in her voice.

"Not even dressed, huh?" Gajeel quirked one pierced eyebrow. "That just means I'll have to come up there."

Levy gasped and ran inside. She quickly whipped off the blanket she had wrapped around herself and fumbled to her dresser. Furiously, she snatched up a long black sweater that went just passed her thighs and slipped it over her head. Luckily, she already had her panties and bra on, since that was what she planned on sleeping in.

"That perverted little-"

"I think you're the little one Shrimp"

Levy spun her head around to see the huge, looming figure of Gajeel, sitting on her balcony ledge.

"Well, I'm going to have to end this at some point," Levy mumbled to herself. "Better just find out what he wants now."

Cautiously, Levy pulled open one of the double Dutch doors and silently slid next to Gajeel.

"Why are you here Gajeel?" Levy asked, officially sick of this night.

"I, uh," Gajeel cleared his throat and Levy swore she saw a slight blush tint his eyes and cheeks, though she wasn't sure in the moonlight.

He was glancing down an awful lot at her bare legs, Levy noted. So, she decided to observe his body too.

First, she examined his huge toned legs, made of visible muscles which were bulging through his pants. Levy's eyes then made it up to the bottom of his tight navy shirt. His stomach was a perfect eight pack that mesmerized Levy every time he inhaled and exhaled. Her eyes trailed to his arms, which were pure muscle. Scars dotted his enormous biceps and three metal piercings lined his forearms. Levy observed his collarbones, jetting out from his huge torso. Gajeel's sharp jawline stuck out at Levy and was almost too jagged. Almost. Her eyes continued their journey to his nose, which, like his arms, had metal piercings along the side of them. Finally, Levy's hazel eyes found themselves gazing into Gajeel's ruby red ones. He returned her stare. After a long silence, Gajeel spoke up.

"You checkin' me out shorty?" Gajeel snorted, but still not daring to tear his eyes away from hers.

"I was, uh," Levy fumbled, now looking away and searching for something to say

"Oi," Gajeel reached out with both hands to Levy and took her tiny, cute face into his hands. Although Levy was forced to, she discovered staring into his eyes calmed her. Gajeel took a breath.

"I came here to ask you if you'd go to dinner with me sometime."

Levy felt her face heat up entirely. Although she couldn't see it, she knew her face was bright crimson.

She didn't know what to say.

Levy ran inside, blushing furiously and with tears of joy prickling at her eyes.

If I can't say it aloud, I'll show him by using what I'm best at.

Levy grabbed her pen (A/N I don't really know what her pen that she uses for magic is called but yeah, that) and peered out her window.

Gajeel sat there, dumbfounded and feeling lame.

How the hell did I manage to screw that up? Gajeel asked himself, feeling lower than he's ever felt before.

Levy's petite figure appeared again from inside and she was holding something. With it, she started to write. The way she wrote now was different from the way she usually wrote. This time, she was creating beautiful calligraphy. Her pen in hand gracefully danced across the air in front of her, leaving a ribbon-like trail of dips and curves behind. She wrote this three letter word with passion and glee.

That word was yes.

Yay! Another chapter done! Loved it? Despised it? Well, I love writing them. Review! I know I got a little carried away with describing Gajeel, but it's Gajeel, so how could I not. Anyways, I don't really know how my updating frequency is going to be from here on out. I'll probably be updating late tomorrow or the day after that. Thank you for reading!
