Levy's POV
No please tell me he's alright! Please tell me he is just playing some sick joke and I will smack for scaring me. I felt my vision blur as I cried again and see the whole building collapse right before us. My heart cracks and I begin to breath in shallow breaths until I felt my body sway. I landed hard onto the ground and hear the frantic voices around me cry at my name as I slowly lose conscious. When I wake up, I'm in a different room except it wasn't Lu's room, the infirmary, or the hospital. I was back in his room the one I visit before when we watched the stars together. I noticed how comfortable the bed is and looked around my surroundings until I spot Lily sleeping on my feet. I slowly got up but felt the pain in my body as I continued to get up. While I was trying to get up from the bed, I woke Lily up as he stared at me in worry and went to help me up.
"Thanks Lily, why am I here?" I looked at him in confusion as he let out a breath.
"Before I answer that question, you should know...," No I start thinking something has happened to Gajeel or he might have...I force myself not to cry and bit my nails into my palm.
"You've been out for a week. I guess you needed sleep and rest due to how many mission you were on before," He continues as I sighed of relief and nodded at this.
"Wait if I was asleep for a week then what happened to Natsu and...," the door was slammed open revealing the very man I loved and his surprised reaction to see me awake. I ran towards him and hugged him around his waist while burying my face into his chest. For a minute I thought he probably lied to me and felt awkward to hug me, but then felt him tenderly hug me close to him. I cried again silently in his chest as I felt him stroke my head and mummer words I couldn't hear. Though they sound like a song and I was lulled into sleep once more.
When I woke again this time, my hand was being held by rough calloused hands that were covered in finger less gloves. I turned my head and smiled to see Gajeel asleep on the chair he brought next to me. I slowly made sure not to make a sound and reached with my other hand to stroke his cheek which he lean into. He nuzzles his nose into my palm that I tried not to laugh at how cute he was being.
"Didn't think you were such a pervert Shrimp? Watching people when they are sleeping," I heard him mumbled as I looked to see him slowly opening his sleepily eyes and staring at me. I flushed at his words and grab the nearest thing that was close to me and swung at him. He fell off his chair taking me along with him as I was on top of him.
"Why do you always have to use that bag as a weapon? It hurts like hell," He groans as he rubs his face as I looked to notice I used my book bag to hit him. Hm...weird but then again this is Gajeel I'm talking about.
"Well then quite making fun of me or you are going to get it," I hit his chest as he laughed at my antics and I slowly realized how close our faces are as I looked away from him. I felt him tug my chin and made me face him completely.
"What's the matter?" He stares at me in concern as I turned red. Looking at our positions he smiled and pretended not to notice how close our faces are.
"Don't tell me you are thinking dirty thoughts now Shrimp considering in how you are on top of me and watched me sleep in an uncomfortable chair not that I'm complaining or anything. Then again I wonder who will get what," Gajeel grinned teasingly as I turn a deep shade of red like Erza's hair. Before I can say anything the door open revealing Lily, Carla, Happy, Wendy, Natsu , and Lu who were engrossed into a conversation until they froze when they saw us. I froze too as Gajeel copied my actions until Wendy cried out to break the silence.
"Sorry for the interruption I mean Sorry!" Wendy covered her eyes and ran out the door with Carla glaring at us of our intimacy.
"Wow didn't think you would pounce on her the minute she recovered, you must be a real pervert Metal Face. Then again Levy is the one on top of- Omph Luce what did you do that for?" Natsu smirked at us and then was hit by Lu in the gut.
"Well we'll leave you to your activities and don't forget to wait until dark since the library will be closed in about another hour. So see you again Levy," Lucy called as she dragged Natsu out quickly while sending me a wink. I turn even more red if that was possible as I heard Lily and Happy talking.
"Lily whats Levy doing on Gajeel?" Happy tilts his head to figure out what we are trying to do. Lily shakes his head and puts an arm around Happy leading him away from us.
"Happy when you are older then I will tell you. Now come with me to some nice Kiwi and fish for yourself," Lily dragged Happy outside as he looked towards us once more and laughed. "Gihihihi."
The room was completely silent as I take a few shaky breaths and quickly scrambled off Gajeel who raised an eye at me. I was crawling away until I felt him grabbed my leg trying to pull me back at him. I realized I still had my bag and threw it at his face as he lets go and I duck underneath his bed.
"Okay that hurt Shrimp, now why are you hiding underneath my bed?" I clamped my mouth shut and could see his eyes narrowed in confusion. He reaches to grab me as I dodge and felt something soft near my face. I lifted up in the thin light under the bed to see it was a pair of black boxers and tossed them away quickly. I can't believe weird things are happening to me! First that and now this, someone help me! I sighed and then noticed a cute black bear with a scar over its eye. I reached out to find its fur to be so soft and brought the little thing to my face to sniff at how it smelled like him and a bit of the dust underneath her. Out of nowhere I'm being quickly pulled out by the ankle and forgot about the bed having two sides. Smooth move there Levy. I held on tightly on the little bear and was brought against a hard chest as they laughed evilly. I looked up to meet his red eyes that were amused by me, but now changed into a soft expression when he saw the little bear in my arms. He plucked the thing from me and placed the bear's head against his cheek while closing his eyes as he sighed happily.
"Gajeel?" I didn't mean to call out his name, but that was really out of character of him. Then again why wouldn't I be surprised to see this soft side of him? The said man slowly opened his eyes and looked at me only to realize I was still sitting here. He quickly hid the thing behind his back and coughed like nothing happened.
"You know I already saw the bear so mind telling me. Who's it?" I smiled gently at him as he sighed in defeat and handed me the bear. I hugged the thing into my face and sigh in relaxation, then looked up to see Gajeel smiling softly at me. He reached out to brush back a strand of my hair and slowly caressed my cheek, then he let his arm fall.
"That bear is mine and it's the only thing I have left of my mother," Gajeel spoke softly as I listened to his every word.
"She gave it to me when I was born, but died on the way to visit some relatives. There was an attack by some thieves and I guess she hid me in a bush because the thieves were said to murder all children and women. I found all this out when Metalicana thought I was old enough to hear what happened to my mom. I still wondered how she used to look like," I had some tears in my eyes as I stared at the little bear and traced his eye. I leaned on Gajeel's shoulder and fiddle with the bear in my arms.
"Shrimp, you don't have to cry. It was good to know she left me a memento of her love and all that mushy stuff. Besides I got you here by my side remember?" Gajeel placed an arm across my shoulders as he squeezed gently to let me know how close we are.
"So...," I trailed on as he looked at me in wonder to what I might want to say. I placed the bear on my lap and played with my fingers as I take a deep breath and let it out.
"What does that leaves us to?" I eyed him out of the corner of my eyes as he was in thought.
"Do you really need to ask about that?" He simply answers as I felt my irritation rise.
"Yes because I um kissed you and you kissed me back there. So...?" I faced him to see him shake his head to the side. "What?"
"Mate," was all he said as I stare at him dumbfound.
"I know what mate is, but what are you trying to say?" I looked puzzled as he chuckles lightly at my expression.
"Mate isn't about everything, it's short for soul mate and you're suppose to be the book worm," Gajeel teases as I smacked his arm playfully. He catches it and pins me on the bed with my arms over my head. I stare into his eyes to see the love and lust craved deep within. I slowly closed my eyes as he get closer to my face, but felt nothing on my lips. Instead I felt his breath on my right ear, and shivered in delight as he chuckled huskily.
"Now my turn to ask the hard-steeled question: Are we in love?" His lips spoke that questioon as I swallowed and nodded to his question. I could have sworn he was grinning like a cat as he placed a gentle feathery kiss on my cheek. He faced me completely and stare into my face that was probably red to how he was on top of me.
"I love you, Levy," He said with such heart-felt emotion that I thought this was all a dream and some stupid person just spoiled the good part. This wasn't a dream because my Gajeel wouldn't be looking at me in a lovingly gentle gaze as he slowly lowered his face to meet mine. I closed my eyes for sure he was going to kiss me, but felt nothing and was about to sigh in frustration until a pair of lips pressed against mine softly. I went completely limp that I felt myself losing to my sleep. When I woke up it was against a bare chest and if I had to guess it was Gajeel who seemed to be cuddling into me. I looked around wondering what could have happened and realized in my sleepy state that processed the images into my mind. Kissing, bare chest, and looked down to see if we were really naked but I sigh between relief and disappointment that my clothes were still intact. I blushed when I realized about me being disappointed that we weren't naked. I shook my head and felt the need to stuff my face into a pillow and scream. I looked at him and soften my gaze as I lightly traced his face while he is still sleeping. Maybe something is wrong with me, I mean seriously who watches the guy they like sleep which is creepy. I suddenly noticed that I began to trace his muscle on his chest and heard a growl, shocking me from what I was doing. Next thing I know I'm once again having my arms above my head and staring at red eyes who seem to be glaring at me. I blinked and wondered what could I have possibly done to set him off.
"Don't...do...that," Gajeel clench his teeth as he spoke to me in annoyance.
"Don't do what," I asked as he froze, then hovered over my body as he placed his forehead against mine.
"Do you really want to know? You already know it's dragon season, so do you really want to know what I want to do to you in my head?" Gajeel groaned as I flushed at his meaning and looked away from him. He lets me go and pulls me up into a sitting position while holding onto my hand.
"Sorry...I wasn't thinking?" I sounded unsure as Gajeel raised his eye and rub his hand over his face. He leans his head into my collarbone and let out a breath that makes me shiver.
"I think it's best we wait until we are ready and that you stay home or else I might not let you sleep at all for the rest of the week," Gajeel states as I blushed and nodded at his suggestion. We cleaned up the place a bit and ate breakfast together, then headed to Fairy Hills. During our walk, whenever boys who stared at me in a weird look paled as Gajeel placed an arm around me and flashed a look. I sighed but then again this big lump is the guy I fell for. Once we made it towards the gates of the Fairy Hills entrance, I saw Gajeel look at me worringly.
"What wrong?" I asked as he looks me over.
"Afraid you might faint again like the other three times like before," He looks into my eyes as I count only two times I've lost consciousness.
"I thought it was two wait never mind. Don't worry I'm alright," I grabbed his hand into mine as he nods.
"You know you are pretty cruel shrimp. I confessed my love for you yet you haven't said those three simple words," Gajeel smirks as I gaped at that part. Did I seriously not say those three words?
" I love you," I said as he frowned and shook his head at those words. He came closer and pulled me in as he stare straight into my eyes.
"Like you mean it," He grumbled as I laughed and nod.
"I love you Gajeel," I answered with a bright warm smile on my face as he broke into a grin.
"I love you too Shrimp," before I can complain about the nickname he gave me a kiss and walked off with a wink being shot at me. I shook my head and waved at him until I heard a set of giggles behind me. I turned to see the girls staring at me with goof smiles and grins. Mira came up to me cheerful as she looked between Gajeel and me.
"So GaLe finally happened?" Mira squealed as I nod to her question and smiled to myself at why he didn't say my name. Gajeel you sneak little-
"Oh someone's thinking dirty thoughts now," Cana teased as I turned red and completely shot her down about that. As I entered home, I felt happy that I finally got the guy and wonder how wonderful our life will be as we continue on our paths together.
