Finally! Here you guys go! Honestly I don't think i did good on this chapter for some reason. I guess I am feeling a little self-concsious. Anyways enjoy and let me know what you think. :)

There was something off with Levy. Lucy couldn't pinpoint it, but it had to do something with Gajeel running out of the guild yesterday. This morning Levy had more of a skip in her step and had a smile on her face. Sometimes she would even blush at random moments too. Her teammates seemed oblivious to it, they were arguing. Probably something having to do about Levy.

Lucy just kept continuing on looking at Levy. She narrowed her eyes in hopes of the answer just revealing itself. Sadly, if only it was that simple.

Suddenly her view of Levy disappeared and the smell of paper entered her nose.

"Lucy let's go a mission!" Natsu grinned.

An annoyed Lucy took the piece of paper off her face with a huff. Natsu couldn't ask nicely huh? It always seemed more of a demand than anything. Lucy looked at Natsu. He still had that stupid grin on his face and Happy was now flying right next to him. Honestly, what was she going to do with these two?

"Lushee?" Happy asked.

"Hmm?"

"Are you alright? You seemed sad yesterday." Happy asked as he stood in front of her.

Lucy smiled at the cat, nothing really gets past him. She put her hand on his head and ruffled his fur.

She laughed as she thought,'Even though they are a handful, I wouldn't trade them for the world.'

"Luce?"

She shook her head and looked at Natsu. She gave him a smile , and he didn't need words to know what that meant. For the short time Natsu and Lucy have known each other , they came to be really close. Now ,people will mistake them as lovers by the intimate relationship they have, but none really know what really was going on between the two.

Lucy looked at Levy again. She was know sitting next to Gajeel. She was reading while he was eating some scrap metal. Lucy looked at how close they were sitting right next to each other and the content look on Levy's face. It was evident by the blush dusting on both of their cheeks that they were now together. Lucy smiled and silently congratulated her friend. She wished her good luck and happiness to their relationship. Now she need to focus on her problem.

"LUCY!"

"LUSHEE!"

Lucy felt a tug bringing her out of her thoughts.

Happy was the one tugging her hand,"Lushee! Come on Mirajane gave the ok to go on the mission!"

Natsu grabbed her arm and dragged her out the door.

"W..wait!" She sputtered.

"Hurry if we don't want to miss the train!"

Baka, he doesn't like transportation. He has a bad case of motion sickness, but she knew why he now considered the train. Knowing that made her heart swell and a blush creep on her cheeks.

'If only he knew...'

"Oi! I have my own two legs you know!"

"You're too slow sometimes Luce!"

"WHAT WAS THAT!"

Natsu started laughing as he and Happy started running for their lives from a red faced Lucy.

Levy couldn't fight the blush on her face. She dare look up, if she did her knees would give.

Right now, she and Gajeel were walking the streets of Magnolia...hand in hand. It feels like a dream. His hand wrapped around her own. His was a whole lot bigger than her small one. Their fingers were intertwining, and Levy could feel his thumb brushing against hers absentmindedly.

Levy didn't know what to do right now, she has never been in a relationship. So she doesn't how these things really work. She sighed. She should've asked Lucy what to do in these situations or Mirajane.

As they continued walking, Levy spotted the park. She suddenly had an idea.

"Ne, Gajeel?"

He grunted.

"We should go to the park. It's quite peaceful there."

He didn't answer, but Levy felt him tug her in that direction. She looked up at him and saw his ears were red.

She smiled and hid her laugh behind her hand.

He was just so cute sometimes.

The park was peaceful just as she thought with only a few people here and there. They sat on a bench watching people go by and looked as how the sun's rays reflected off the lake.

They were still holding hands.

Levy didn't know if the air between them was awkward or blissful. Here she was holding hands with the man she has been in love with for over a year. Well technically, it's been eight since they met if you you count the Tenroujima incident.

Gajeel let go of her hand and started caressing her hair. She blushed as she felt him run his fingers through her hair. She snuck a peek up at him, he was staring intently at it.. As he continued to run his hand through her hair, Levy wished she had washed her hair this morning. It would've been softer.

His movements paused as his fingers touched her headband. He tucked a strand behind her ear, his finger barely touching her cheek. Oh how she felt his skin. It felt calloused from working with metal and playing his electric guitar. His thumb stroked her cheek making her close her eyes in content.

To viewers of the park, this particular scene might look like to them like they were about to kiss. To this couple, like I said they weren't ordinary people, a single touch was like kiss.

For some reason, Levy's heart was pounding and she was sure Gajeel could hear it. She placed her hand on top of Gajeel's that was cupping her cheek and opened her eyes. She gazed shyly at him.

Gajeel was torn between two things right now. He didn't have the courage like he did yesterday. He couldn't confidently kiss like he did in that bookstore. As he looked at her, that is what he really wanted to do right now. Then the other half of him wanted to hide away in embarrassment from thinking that. So he decided to drift his mind elsewhere.

He was simply staring at her hair and the next thing he knew he was touching it. It felt just as he imagined. Soft and silky. He wanted to bury his head into her hair and smell it too.

He ever so slightly brushed one of his fingers against her cheek.

Soft.

Then she gazed at him.

He was rooted on the spot. She had look in her eye he hasn't seen before. It ws completely different than the one she gave that day he saved her. He gulped as his eyes drifted towards her plump pink lips. Damn. What did he do to deserve a woman like her? In his eyes, she was a truly beautiful woman. she showed kindness to everyone at the guild. The complete opposite of him. He thought of what he told her yesterday.

She buried her face into his chest as she whispered fiercely," I really love you."

"Really?"

Levy looked up at him and gave him that imprinted smile.

"Really."

Gajeel tighten his arms once more as he buried his head into her shoulder. Probably to cover the huge blush that crept on his face. Levy giggled at Gajeel's antics. Gajeel then whispered something into her shoulder.

"Forever and ever,Shrimp. I'm never going to let you go."

Levy pulled away from him with a questioning look.

"Is that a proposal Mr. Redfox?" She teased.

Gajeel realized the meaning behind his words and became flustered. Levy giggled again. No one really saw this side of the monster Gajeel Redfox, but she's glad that she has the privelage.

He was slightly happy with the possibility of spending forever with her. Heck, even if it means marriage.

"Gajeel?'

He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his shrimp.His shrimp. That thought brought a grin on his face and a confused look in hers.

Ok if any of you have seen Fairy Tail in Japanese subbed then you know that Happy says Lucy's name like Lushee. Anyways please let me know what you think because I really wanted to get this out there to you guys. Also I must ask something completely serious... So I was on Wattpad and I notice that they have a Wattpad Awards. Do you think should have one or do they already and I don't know.

Plus, has anyone read the latest chapter. I notice that Hiro-san likes to keep us on our toes with cliffhangers, but I guess that is sorta a good thing to... in a way.

P.S. If any of you have read my SM fanfic, what do you guys think of a crossover in that story?
