Gajeel's P.O.V

I watched. Her full of life body now turn into a lifeless doll falling to the floor in front of my eyes and the next thing I know I'm caressing her in my arms tightly. A tear threatened to fall as I slowly tried to call her name.

"..L-levy..?" I said softly and yet so delicate.

"Levy?" I said louder this time. I could feel the pitying looks of everyone looking at me. Then I snapped.

"LEVY!" I screamed loudly into the sky as if blaming it for all of my problems. The tear slowly rolled down my face then I heard it. My head shot up as I heard the tiniest heartbeat I have ever heard. The other dragon slayers noticed this, shut their eyes and snapped them open quickly.

"Levy.. She's dying! We have to get her back to Fairytail!" Natsu screamed. I growled slightly. That was supposed to be my line, I pouted but gently hugged Levy tighter. As if I was guarding her.. Like.. I'm her protector. A strong wave of emotions hit me and all of Fairytail as we started running out of the Castle with the exception of Lucy, being carried by the lion. She kept nagging Loke to let her down but kept refusing. A small smile spread on my face as realization hit me. I closed my eyes and quickly turned myself into a shadow.

"I need to remember to thank the quiet shadow slayer for this." I muttered towards them. They all nodded as I quickly turned my back and dashed over to Fairytail.

No one could ever relate to how I was feeling. I'm in a waiting room while the love of my life was now having an emergency procedure. Why did I have to fall for the damn Shrimp!? Shut up Gajeel! She's the god damn best thing that ever happened to you. I sighed. Couldn't argue with myself their. She .. Trusted me after everything I did to her...

"I stapled her to a god damn tree!" I shouted to myself. Lily's ears slowly perked up, and he sent a glare directed at me.

"Can you be a little quieter at midnight." Lily growled. I sent him an unidentifiable look.

"Lily.. why.. why did she forgive me.." Ugh! Pathetic. I sounded like a mushy pansy! He looked at me with a saddened look.

"Because in Phantom Lord you weren't who you truly are today. You were being who everyone else wanted you to be. A cold heartless dragon." I sent a small glare at him.

"I feel so much better." Sarcasm very much so evident in my voice.

"You didn't hear the point! You. Have. Changed!" A smile smile appeared on my face for a millisecond but then disappeared and replaced itself with a scowl.

"Whatev-" A lady with a very rude and menacing look came out of Levy's room and cut me off..

"She's stable. But keep it down!" She yelled very rudely. I growled a little bit but nodded and stormed past her and walked into the small white room. I noticed Bunny-Girl sleeping on a bed but my eyes immediately switched towards the little blue haired girl in a white hospital bed beside Bunny-Girl.

My mind took over and I walked over to her slowly and a bit hesitantly. I pulled up a chair from a table and sat down on it quickly. I looked at Lily but he shrugged and walked over to Levy and layed down on her stomach. I sighed annoyingly and rested my head on the back of my chair and tried to drift off but found it impossible because I could not stop myself from listening to her heartbeat to make sure she was still breathing.

Damn it shrimp what have you done to me?! I groaned quietly and decided I should get some shut eye. You better wake up soon Shrimp.

Levy's Past

My eyes started to flutter open slowly. Much to my dismay I was cold. Very cold but I felt a warmth on my stomach. I opened my eyes and was blinded by a white light. I closed my eyes again for a quick second waiting for the glare of the light to die down. I opened my eyes again and nearly gasped but forced myself not to. I'm alive? How? I heard soft snoring and nearly jumped out of my skin when I turned my head to find Gajeel sleeping peacefully on a chair beside me. I looked down to see Lily sleeping on my stomach. I warm smile rose to my lips. I leaned over and pet Lily scratching a bit at his ears. I almost giggled when he purred. I looked over my side and noticed Lucy on a bed beside mine. Wait... where am I? Realization struck me as the memories started pour into my one by one I felt guilt eating away my insides as each horrid image crossed my mind. I wrapped my arms around sleeping Lily and started to softly weep. Honestly I didn't know why I was crying. He was stopped. Everyone was fine! But I still couldn't stop myself. I was about to put Lily down when I felt a soft paw touch my face gently.

I looked into his small brown eyes and noticed his genuine smile.

"Welcome back Levy. We were sure we lost you." A smile tugged at my lips but I just couldn't show it. A tear slowly glided down my my cheek to suddenly startle a black cat.

"Levy it's ok. Everythings fine now." This time my face gave access to the smile. I nodded wiping the tears away before turning to Gajeel.

"How long was I asleep?" I mentally crossed my fingers.

"Around ten hours." A huge cheeky smile found its way to my face as I was doing my happy day on the inside! I turned back to Gajeel.

"How long has he been here?" Lily frowned and interrupted the eye contact.

"Every single minute." My eyes widened.

"W-why?" He turned back to me and smirked with a devious eye.

"Because he found his mate." I swear to god I could feel my eyes flare out of my head. I .. was his mate?

"W-wh.. how?" I asked emotionless. Lily smiled a big smile.

"Because when he saw you hurt his Dragon Instincts kicked in and it chose you. He love's you." This was the happiest moment of my life I grabbed Lily and squeezed him softly.

I let go of Lily and glanced at Gajeel. He honestly looked awful. I sighed and got back in bed and grabbed Lily. He purred when I pulled him next to me.

"Night Lily."

"Night Levy."

Gajeel's P.O.V

I opened my eyes quickly and stretched out my back. Stupid chair, I muttered under my breath. I turned to face Shortie when I saw her snuggling up to Lily. Damn cat! I got up from my chair and I opened the door to exit the infirmary when the sounds of fighting and shouts filled my ears. I growled some curses and walked downstairs slowly. I made my way to the bar and raised my hand up signalling to Mira. She walked over with pep in her step and smiled brightly.

"Hey Gajeel. Anything I can get you?" She raised her eyebrow.

"I'll take some boar meat bacon and some egg's." She nodded and skipped away to prepare my meal. I sighed and glanced up towards the door, wanting to get back up there. Hurry up Mira. My impatient mind rang in my ears.

I looked around the guild door's and saw Jet and Droy glooming up a dark corner in the guild. Pansy's. I smelled my food, turned my head and saw it waiting on the bar with two forks. I smirked. Happy eating. I walked back up the stairs and opened the door. When I walked in I felt my heart stop. I saw Levy stretching her arms before her gaze set on me. Without a word I practically threw my food on the chair and hugged her running my fingers through her smooth hair. I could feel her tempature getting warmer and smiled, before turning and facing her completely.

"Yer never leavin my side again got that Shrimp?" It sounded more like a serious demand then a question. I took it as a yes when she pulled me towards her and burying her face into my neck. She pulled back much to my sadness but saw a bright smile. One that I haven't seen in ages.

"I love you..." She said. Her cheeks flushing furiously. I smirked and pulled her on my lap.

"Love ya too Shrimp." She playfully punched my arm but I caught it and stopped her dead in her tracks. I leaned in, my eyes never leaving hers for a second before our lip's were touching and I had then realized. She had stolen my heart. We broke away from our passionate kiss when we heard clapping and screaming. Mira stepped forwards with hearts in her eyes!

"The winner is... Romeo! Your bet was exactly correct and you win too hundred thousand jewels." My face turned into a scowl and glared at her.

"What is this?" I demanded. She smiled.

"We were betting on what day you two would kiss! Everyone on the guild betted!" Levy face turned red instantly as my scowl deepened. Master stepped forward and started crying hysterically.

"I was two days off!" I growled at Masters reaction and Levy's face turned into the colour of fire.

"Master even you bet!" Levy pratically shouted. He turned to her still slowly weeping.

"Of course! How do you think Mira got her match making ability?" Everyone in the room sweat dropped as Master and Mira started laughing.

"Levy's awake now let's party!" Master shouted. Everyone screamed and ran downstairs to get drunk and crazy. I sighed and rubbed my forhead.

Such idiotic people!

Timeskip Twelve Hours!

I grabbed another one of beers and slowly drank it. Levy was explaining everything to Jet and Droy while they were crying. I smirked and toke another gulp of beer and turned to face Lily.

"I cant believe there were betting on us." Lily was about to respond when someone cut him off.

"Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing." I turned my head around and saw Shrimp there smiling. I smirked showing a little bit of teeth.

"How so Shrimp?" She glared at me then smiled.

"Because I couldn't do this in public." She leaned in and kiss me as I kissed back. All my senses were clouded as I felt like time stopped. I pulled away for air ignoring the cheer's and laughs of the guild most definitely watching.

"Guess your right. As usual."
