CHAPTER 2:
The next morning, Levy woke up later than her guest, stretching and going to the bathroom to refresh herself.
"Mornin'!" She yelled after she got out, but Levy received no answer. She glanced on the couch, the sheet and blanket were nicely packet on the arm of the couch. She walked over to the kitchen, looking around for a sign that her neighbor, Gajeel, might have eaten something before he left, but nothing was touched. "Figures… Leaving without a good-bye…" She turned on her heels with disappointment and headed back to her room to get changed.
Gajeel opened the door quietly, closing it behind him. He tiptoed to the kitchen, placing the bags he was holding onto the counter. That's when he heard Levy hum happily in her room, a smile tugging at his lips. He heard her approach and turned around with a wide smile.
"Mornin', sleepy head!" That's when the two stopped dead in their tracks, staring at each other.
"KYAAAA!" Levy grabbed the pillow Gajeel slept on and threw it in his face, scurrying back to her room. "What the heck are you doing here?" Gajeel could hear her from her room.
"I'm still locked out, that asshole didn't come yet."
"Y… You could've made more noise or something! I thought you were gone!"
"I was gone, I got some groceries. I was planning to surprise ya with breakfast, I wasn't expecting stripes and a ribbon… By the way, nice panties!" He grinned, suppressing his blush as Levy came back to the kitchen, fully clothed.
"SHUT UP!" She smacked his arm, scowling angrily at him. "I didn't see a note and I…"
"You thought I'd leave without at least a 'Thank you'?" Levy looked away, her spiteful reply forgotten. "I don't do that. Told ya I'm gonna make it up to you. I keep my word." Levy couldn't hide her blush, bowing her head in embarrassment.
"Sorry… I'm used to… worse guys than you…"
"No worries. Now, sit down and let me cook ya breakfast." Levy obliged, making herself comfortable and waiting patiently for her meal. Soon enough, Gajeel placed an omelet under her nose, grabbing his own plate from the counter and sitting across her. "Bon appétit!" They ate quietly, Gajeel looking sheepishly at her from time to time.
"It was delicious, thank you!" Levy got up and went to the washer to place the used dishes inside.
"Hey, listen…" Gajeel started, scratching the back of his head. Levy could see his reddened ears, smiling warmly. "As soon as I get a new job, maybe we… could…"
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
The door startled the two, Gajeel cursing under his breath as Levy hurried to open the door.
"Oh, good morning!"
"Yeah, yeah… Where's the other one? Jeez, all you kids know is how to give me trouble. Honestly, I don't know why I don't evict all of you!" A vein popped on Gajeel's forehead, squeezing his fist.
"Asshole…" He made his appearance just behind the short bluenette.
"Ah, there you are! Now, come on, I don't have all day! You know it's gonna cost you this new copy, right? Now get out of my sight!" The landlord shoved the key in its hole, opening the door to Gajeel's apartment. He then turned on his heels and left the two glare at his back.
"What an asshole." Levy crossed her arms.
"Yeah… Well, I guess this is my cue to leave… Thanks, Shorty. For everything. I'm gonna make it up to ya." He burned his eyes into hers, activating a blush.
"Don't mention it. Friends?" Levy extended her hand for a shake, waiting expectantly.
"No." Gajeel said in a harsh tone, Levy's smile fading. "Best friends." He grabbed her in a tight hug with a wide smile, releasing her fast and going inside his apartment before Levy could compose herself.
"Have a nice day, Fido." She said in a small voice, smiling warmly as she went back to her place.
