Levy's heart thundered in her chest as she allowed the mighty Gajeel to lead her to wherever it was he was taking her. Her cheeks were burning a bright red from the events that had taken place in the Guild Hall, the faces of her comrades' cheering faces were branded into her mind momentarily.
Gajeel's face still held a devilish smirk as he held on firmly to Levy's hand, charging carefully towards his apartment.

The two had finally made it to the wooden door of Gajeel's messy home. Levy could feel her nerves begin to prick up to the surface, being as this was the first time she had been in Gajeel's living environment. Although it was a mess, it didn't come close to the messiness of the book-worm's rooms full of piles upon piles of books.

Gajeel turned to face the small bluenette, a discrete blush was apparent on his face.
Clearing his throat, Gajeel began, "So, Shrimp… fancy one last dance? Just the two of us this time?" Gajeel pushed aside his embarrassment as he held Levy closer. He wasn't used to displaying such feelings towards anyone, let alone to someone he had been admiring since he realised how stupid he was to have ever hurt such a beautiful wizard.

Levy smiled as she accepted Gajeel's offer. Out of nowhere slow music began to play as the couple danced together as one.
The bluenette couldn't think of being anywhere else other than in Gajeel's arms – the scene was perfect in the eyes of the script mage.

The couple danced until the hour of midnight. Levy's eyes had grown heavy and she was beginning to lean more and more into the iron Dragon Slayer, relying on his support to keep her up.
Once the last song has finally ended, Gajeel lifted the petite girl into his arms, bridal style, and carefully walked into his bedroom before he laid her gently into his bed. The thought of removing her dress – in order for her to sleep more comfortably – popped into his head, however he thought better of it as he didn't wish to take advantage of the girl he cared so deeply about.
With a smile, he kissed Levy's forehead, taking one last look of admiration at the beauty that was laying in his bed before turning away.
He aimed towards the sofa, intending to sleep there for the night, however a small murmur broke his path.

"G-Gajeel?" The sleepy voice of Levy McGarden escaped from in Gajeel's bedroom. He turned back and peeked his head into the place in which she was sleeping.
"Something the matter, Shrimp?" he asked, feigning an annoyed expression.
"Stay with me… please?" She said in barely a whisper, her eyes were still closed gently.
Gajeel examined the space around his bed to see that she had already removed her dress; his cheeks deeply reddened.
"Are you sure?" he asked carefully.

Levy nodded her head before shuffling over to allow more space for the tall wizard to fill beside her.
He removed his tuxedo and ruffled his hair, throwing everything to one side, and slid into the space next to the bluenette, remaining only in his boxer shorts.
The small wizard cuddled closely to Gajeel as he spread his arms around her.

Of all the outcomes Levy had thought this night would have held, never did she expect to be sharing the bed of the man who had stolen her heart.
A smile was evident on her face as she fell out of consciousness.
Gajeel looked down at Levy's sleeping expression and couldn't help the sincere smile that had found itself on his face. Giving her one last peck on the cheek, he too closed his red eyes and soon fell asleep too.

Next to the girl he loved.
