Author's Note: Here it is everyone, the second chapter for the double update special. We are getting close to the ending now and I do feel like adding more drama concerning some of the girls, but that will all be in due time. This was also an almost completed chapter alongside 16 before my finals came around so it will serve as the gate to the beginning of this fic's end(sadly). If there are still some of you who wish to see a pairing done before the end, than speak now or forever hold your peace. So this basically is a last chance for you to pick who Gray gets to spend some time with. As always review and enjoy the chapter! Oh and Happy Holidays to all of you! (Just in case I don't get the chance to upload anything later!)


Chapter 17

"You know I've never been to a book club before, so this'll be a first for me." Gray had managed to get himself ready within the time frame and walked alongside Levy as they made their way towards the library.

"I'm sure you'll enjoy it Gray, we do some things differently compared to regular book clubs." Levy was excited to see how things would turn out, since this was her "date" with Gray after all, which many people at the meeting were shocked about.

The ice mage was much more at ease with Levy around, since his worries mainly centered around his entire team. How had his normal everyday life with them change so much in less than a week? At least Wendy wasn't acting differently and now with him spending some time with his other guild mates it also gives him some time to himself. Even so, he was still weary about them and made sure his focus stayed in line with what he was doing in the present moment. Speaking of which, he had noticed how happy Levy seemed to be with a bounce to her step as well.

He found it quite amusing to see the petite bluenette be a bundle of joy on their way to her book club, like a kid in a candy store. She spoke about the various things they've done and how each member is given turns to do one thing they choose with everyone also, according to her, it wasn't a dull moment when they got together. The ice mage's interest peaked at the thought of what a group of avid readers that are just like Levy would do when they came together, there could even be the chance that he would find it entertaining as well.

One thing she was enthusiastic about mentioning was the book they were all reading; The Princess' Keeper. A novel about a normal count living on his province, with great skills no one is aware of, becoming a valuable asset when captured on the battlefield to a warrior princess whose life solely consisted of battle and rarely got to experience other emotions that make a person whole. A romantic and adventure genre type of book if Gray was correct.A classic to many who delve into the world of literature, Gray being no exception since he's sure that he's read the book before and has a copy in his library.

It was a good read in his opinion, although he couldn't quite remember what exactly happens throughout the story as a whole. To be honest, the ravenette was interested to see how other people would react to the story and how they viewed the events that had happened. He would actually get the chance now since the entire conversation had brought them to the front of the library, Levy already waving a hello to Micheal as she passed his desk and went into the area that held the back rooms.

"I'll catch up to you in a bit Levy." Gray called as he heard the faint "okay" in reply before he turned to look at his old friend who stood with a happy smile.

"Welcome back Gray, what brings you here this time? Something that involves Levy I'm sure." Micheal wouldn't say that he was against seeing him with Levy, but it sure did bring him an internal happiness to see him spend time with a person he wouldn't hand over to his guild mate Loke later on. Yeah, Loke's pretty well known throughout Magnolia.

"She invited me to her book club and I took her up on the offer." Gray replied as he leaned against the desk counter.

"I'm sure you two will be doing other things right after too, and so it sounds to me that she asked you on a date Gray. Here I thought you'd be the man and ask her." Micheal teased as Gray jerked forward from being found out, he thought he could play it smooth and say that he agreed to come along and nothing else.

"S-Shut up" Gray's best come back at the moment, but what could he say? "Could you just tell where to go since I don't really know the back area so good."

Micheal gave a short chuckle before replying to him. "Just go through the main door heading for the back of the library and make a left. It should be the fourth door you come across."

"Geez, this place is a lot bigger than I thought..." Gray commented before he went off, hearing Micheal say "Believe me, it sure is," or something along those lines.


While Gray stayed behind to speak with Micheal, Levy had gone ahead towards the usual meeting room and the bounce in her step never left. She entered to see her fellow readers finish setting up the chair circle, smiling while saying their hellos to the bluenette who set another chair besides hers. They were a regular bunch, mostly girls who were like Levy and Lucy with the exception that they couldn't wield magic. For Levy though, they were new girls compared to her original group of friends that had all grown up, married and had families of their own now.

There were a few who would come by and partake when they had the time and Levy was always happy to see them. Although she was slightly saddened at times when she remembered that they used to be girls her own age, with only their part time jobs and books to talk about with each other before the bluenette was trapped for seven years on Tenrou Island. In a way, Levy could say that the feeling of missing out and growing up alongside her friends was something that Gray had felt with Micheal and his father; he too stayed his regular age when they got trapped while the people he knew grew older and continued their lives.

Levy quickly let those memories fade away and try to be her upbeat self so she could introduced her friends to one of the most interesting people she has encountered and yet she knew him for years. It was one thing that they were all like her, but for them to meet someone who has a greater and broader sense for literature would be a treat for them and she was the one that had him all to herself.

"Hey girls, I've brought someone along with me again!" She called out while the others nodded their head in acknowledgment.

They knew how Levy was when she invited a guest to come along, usually it was her blonde friend Lucy who they got along with extremely well since she had explained that she was dabbling in writing. They didn't mind her at all and gave her tips to how she should write and where to keep focus on, but then there was the other person she would invite that the group had mixed opinions about. The girls were understanding when Levy would bring the intimidating guild mate of hers, Gajeel as he was known, along so he would see what she liked. They knew that the petite girl was crushing hard on him, but he was still a scary person to them. They were being nice so she could be with her man and get him to at least like the things she did, so when they noticed that the blonde was not at her side they came to the conclusion that the long haired man was coming...or so they thought.

What they expected to come through door was replaced with a shirtless, muscle toned man with features that would've left their jaws agape if they weren't so aware that they could end up drooling all over the floor if they did. Levy could tell that they were all blown away by the mere sight of him and would've given a small cheer if she didn't have to pick up his shirt and coat from the floor behind him. She would let it pass since he was already giving results and he hasn't even talked about anything yet.

"Ladies, this is my good friend Gray Fullbuster and I invited him to join us today." Levy handed his clothes back to him and she could tell that the others became slightly disappointed when he covered up. "Gray these are my friends; Carol, Kokone, Sara, Yui and my old friend Lana."

"Hey everyone" Gray could immediately tell he was the center of attention, something he was expecting after realizing that he came into the room shirtless.

He took in each one's appearance and summarized them to look like an alright group of people, normal in comparison to the characters back at the guild. Each one looked to be about his and Levy's age, except for Lana who he guessed was about Kinana's age. Some noticed differences was that Yui had a pair of glasses with her dark brown colored hair tied in a loose braid with a bow holding it together, Sara and Kokone were twins by the looks of it but their sense of style were completely opposite. While Sara wore somewhat revealing clothing like Lucy, Kokone had a style closer to Laki; clothed well but still showed off her feminine figure.

Carol dressed like any other girl Gray has seen on the streets of Magnolia although she wore in interesting color pattern of blues, reds and bits of green which he found it intriguing that she managed to pull off all those colors at once. He really didn't know anything about fashion, but he's got to admit that some people were good at it. Lana had also caught his interest as she was the oldest in the room and he guessed that she was friends with Levy before the Tenrou incident and she grew up, but she looked to have done so gracefully for she had a figure much like many of the girls in Fairy Tail. Although the one thing that he hoped she wouldn't do is pounce on him since Lana's been eyeing him ever since he walked in, more so than the other girls.

"Well we've better get down to it everyone." Levy spoke up as they all took their seats again, many already getting a few topics up for speaking.

They all spoke about different events that took place during the novel, all of which Gray was surprised that he remembered pretty clearly and added a comment here and there about some points that they had missed. The girls had marveled at the things Gray had said, putting a much more perspective outlook on some of the content that had missed, which in turn had changed a couple of views they had on the story. As the further they got into a discussion the more the ice mage came to realize that Levy may be quiet in the guild, but she is very outspoken person within her own circle. He may be a secluded person, who's way too difficult to get used, but even Gray can understand that a person can change depending on who they're with.

It was a whole different experience to see these people agree about certain details, disagree about plot points that triggered different reactions and listen to them analyze the different motivations each character had before their true intentions were revealed. This book club wasn't so bad in Gray's honest opinion and compared to the stereotypical book club he was thinking about, this one was different in some areas compared to others that were closer to the mark.

"Oh, we should get through whoever's turn it is before we call it a day." Sara said as she had looked up at the clock, seeing that they had less than half an hour left.

"Good point, whose turn is it this time?" Carol looked over each one trying to remember who they stopped on last time, deciding whether it was on either Kokone or Yui.

"It was my turn last time so it's Levy's turn now." Yui spoke as Levy forgot this was actually her turn and she had a brilliant idea that she wanted to try out.

"You're right Yui. Alright so what we're going to do is role-playing." She said with a smile on her face, already knowing who's going to play the count this time. "Gray you're going to be Count Valiario."

"What!" Gray needed to keep his image of masculinity, it was one thing to fool heartedly use bribery as a first resort, but to role-play was a different story.

"Now Gray you don't want Natsu to find out about a certain book do you?" Levy whispered to him and the ice mage could've sworn that she was getting lessons from either Mira or Cana because she was twisting his arm now. Had he created a monster somehow and was she trained by one of the best?

"Fine I'll do it, but Levy I would assume you'll be Princess Himari?" Gray said with a cheeky grin and before the bluenette could refute, all of her friends had unanimously agreed to let her be the Princess.

"O-Okay then I'm the princess, s-so what part will we use as a basis?" This was a little unexpected, sure she wanted to do this but she would've prefered to be an onlooker than be a part of it at this point.

"How about her confrontation with the count right when she realizes that she's fallen in love with him?" Yui said shyly as the others readily agreed, not giving Levy much of a chance to say anything else.

"Here Gray-kun use some of these pages to help you get a feel for what's going on at this point." Lana gave him an opened book that had the count speaking to the princess and in less time than the girls expected, Gray was ready.

"Waiting on you Princess..." If Gray was going to have to do this, than he'll have some fun while he's at it.

"W-What have y-you done to me?" To say that Levy was embarrassed would be an understatement, for it was one thing doing it with her friends but to act with a guild mate was on a completely different level especially since it was with Gray.

"You've got to be more specific your Highness, I'm afraid I don't know what you mean." Gray wouldn't admit it out loud, but he was sure he was a pretty good actor. He had to do it with his team in the past and he had done it while he tried to help Natsu keep his promise during that whole Daphne incident, so it wasn't much for him to do this.

"I-I can't seem to t-think straight when I'm um, around you. My heart d-does not settle everytime I look at you, so tell me what you have done to me!" Levy was very nervous, but this was acting after all. She didn't need to be herself, all she had to do was search for her voice as Princess Himari the great warrior princess.

"I didn't do a single thing, I have never laid a hand upon you nor have I used an enchantment on your beautiful face." When it comes to acting, Gray had plenty of experience due to a number of requests he had done in the past to fool a number of opponents.

"Then why is it that...that my chest flares with a shearing anger when you speak to your hand maiden? You use such formal speech with me, but to her it's as if she was the one person you had to care for with everything you had." Levy knew this was her domain and she wasn't about to let Gray embarrass her here, which came as a surprise for her to be so determined to try and out act Gray of all people.

"Maria had grown up alongside me for years in Ascaria, her family had served mine since before we were born. She is the closest person to me and I won't stand idly by when she is faced with danger." Gray had to read a few pages to get her name and understand her relationship with the count before he screwed up his character, thankfully the girls were okay with him looking through the book for a bit.

"Have you ever given the thought that I would want to be seen with such tender eyes? Had it ever occurred to you that maybe I wished to be viewed as a real woman and not some sort of tool of war?" Levy was pulling all the stops on this one, but for the life of her she couldn't understand why she switched Gray at times with Gajeel and back again. Was she truly torn with the whole plan that she had come up with?

"I have seen you in action, be a courageous leader on and off the battlefield and hold true to your words and virtue. Those are qualities that depict a woman who should be with a person that could be easily viewed as an equal to her." The ice mage was having no problem with this impromptu acting since he felt like the count was his kind of guy, but he did wonder why hasn't anyone done a play on this book before? There's plenty of material here that would only require a good script, a nice stage and actors to accomplish, hopefully that Rabian guy doesn't do it though.

"What you say is common knowledge among the civilians and my men, but what they don't know is that I don't want someone like that. I've only known war, trained and bred to be one of the pinnacle points of my kingdom's strengths." Oddly enough in Levy's opinion, she believed that Erza would be perfect for this role if she didn't get stage fright that is, but back to the task at hand which she hoped would end soon.

"Emotions were a forbidden concept amongst my masters, but those rules have changed drastically for now I have learned what joys they bring and what pains that could follow from loss." The bluenette was getting into her role as best as she could, though she wished Gray didn't look so damn hot in her eyes. This signifying that the beautified Gray she saw in the guild a few days ago had returned.

"I'm glad you have experienced them Princess, but I'm afraid I don't follow on what this has to do with me." Gray knew he was teasing her, by the looks of it she was about ready to give up and want a break, but he wouldn't let her go that easily. She messed with the wrong ice mage. Oh how differently things go on in these two's minds, their thoughts were complete opposites of each other.

"For a man with all your talents, you sure are dense to the obvious." Levy remarked in the best impression of a haughty woman she could do, imagining Evergreen in her mind and how she would act and respond. "I want...I want...y-you to be the man I share all my new experiences with."

"You flatter me your Highness, but I'm afraid that I could not meet expectations such as yours. I am nothing more than what your people call a servant to you Princess, I have no right to do such a thing with a woman of high regard. I do what I can to protect you and in turn, my small province of Ascaria is kept in good hands under you." It amused Gray that Levy was not that bad of an actor, guessing that this was one of the activities her group of friends do together when they meet up.

"If it truly must be that way, than I shall release you from your servitude! I will give you back your land and allow you to become it's rightful owner, so you could no longer claim to be of low standard to be with me!" The bluenette could not believe how much she was putting into this, sure she had done this plenty of times in the past but it's never been this intense.

"But if even that does not surmount to anything than leave my sight!" Levy wanted to end it there and catch a break for her rapidly beating heart to calm down, but just as she turned to leave, Gray had grabbed a hold of her arm and brought her close to his body in an embrace she had not seen coming.

"You are a beautiful woman of great honor and I do not wish to tarnish your reputation for the rest of the kingdom you serve to see. If you truly wish for me to view you for the woman that you are and not your kingdom's symbol of war then so be it, for I will shower you with the burning emotions that I've had for you ever since you came to my aid in defending Ascaria." Gray looked into Levy's eyes as he spoke, never wavering his gaze as the bluenette slowly lost herself in his dark pools.

She encircled her arms around Gray's neck, catching the ice mage off guard and crashed her lips to his. High pitched squeals he heard next came from Kokone and Carol, Sara was off blushing madly at the sight in front of her with Yui, equally blushing as much as her, having to take off her glasses since they had fogged over and Lana was stuck with fanning herself as things went a lot farther than what she had thought. All the while the ice mage was still in shock that Levy up and kissed him out of the blue. Was this what some people call "the heat of the moment" or something?

Levy soon came to realize what she was doing and parted lips with Gray, quickly running out of the room in sheer embarrassment of what she had done. The ice mage was still trying to come to terms with what just happened until he heard Lana speak up from her spot.

"Alright everyone, with that our book club is now over. Oh and Romeo, go check up on our little Levy please, I think she needs some comforting words." Gray nodded his head and set off, cursing under his breath that he was now on comforting duty.

"Gray is everything alright? I just saw Levy run outside in a hurry, not to mention the pretty loud squealing from the back rooms." Micheal had heard the noise first followed by a very nervous looking Levy run right by, so there was very few things that he could think of that might have happened.

"Just a small problem, I got it covered though." Gray replied as he quickly ascended up the staircase, hopefully being able to catch up to her wherever she went. As he stepped outside prepared to run off in search for her, he stopped as the petite bluenette was leaning against the wall looking down at her feet.

"Gray I'm really sorry for what happened, I just didn't know what came over me. You were being all suave and I just don't know what happened to my sense of reason and then I just sprung at you..." Levy was saying so many words a second that Gray had to grab her shoulders to calm her down before she hyperventilates.

"Calm down Levy, just breath and say what you need to say." In reality Gray himself was trying to be the bigger person here, figuratively of course since he already was in the literal sense, and have her explain herself.

"I'm...I'm just really sorry Gray, I don't know what came over me." She was worried about many things at this point; kissing her best friend's crush, doing so when she herself thought of another guy as well and constantly having to make up a way to apologise.

"Look, what happened was...uncalled for to say the least, but don't go and beat yourself up about it." "Find the words Gray, don't screw this up or else you're fucked!" The ice mage chanted his own mantra to try and say helpful things because he knew his ass was dead if Erza found out about this and his chances with Lucy would drop to zero too.

"I-I don't know Gray...I feel wrong that you're just letting this go so easily." It was true on her behalf, sure he was teasing her a bit but she's the one that went all the way.

"Than you could think about it this way; we're even now." All hope for the ice mage is riding on the small advantage he had over her now. "You cancel that leverage you have about me with the book and I don't say a word of what happened, deal?"

"Uh...yeah t-that sounds fair enough, I guess." Levy thought of it carefully and he did make it sound much better than how she was thinking about before hand.

"Good, we won't say a word about anything and this is just between us."Gray was internally glad that it worked and was surprised he seemed to be getting good at talking to people, or at least his guild mates that is although an idea popped in his head that could help lighten the mood. "In the end I'm naturally a suave guy, even you were no match for me apparently."

"Gray your arrogance is showing again." Levy sarcastically remarked, full knowing that the ice mage was trying to cheer her up and she was grateful that he was making an attempt.

"Say what you will, but keep this piece of advice in mind. Don't immediately start using tongue, instead you should lead into it then lick the bottom lip to suggest the action." Gray was far from finished with his teasing on the solid script mage and she in turn blushed madly. "If you'd like, I could always teach you the proper way of doing it."

"G-Gray! Don't say those things out loud!" The petite mage was being daring yes, but she didn't expect Gray to give her pointers on how to kiss after what happened.

"Yeah, yeah I got it. So come on, let's go do something to forget about this." Gray said as he began walking in a random direction with nothing in mind, but do something that would be fun.

"You sure a different kind of person Gray." Levy thought as a small smile began to form on her lips as she went after the ice mage, picking up his discarded coat on the way.


Back at the guildhall, it was business as usual in the sense that nothing way out there was happening aside from another brawl that was going on between Gajeel, Natsu and Elfman now marking the twenty-seventh one in just the short time frame of yesterday and now. This was allowed to continue since Erza was much more focused on what she saw earlier that day; she wasn't able to understand how Lisanna got Gray to smile like he had when they entered the guild together. Then again it could have been a number of ways, either of her own doing or her sister's.

Speaking of said demoness, she was awaiting Lisanna to come over to where she was at the bar counter to tell her what she had discovered. Mira had to use every opportunity she got and take it, which allowed her to send Lisanna on a bit of a research mission to get some insight on Gray's preference. The elder Strauss had welcomed her younger sibling back, but she wasn't able to get any info from her due to everyone being a little too focused on them at the time. Luckily for her the attention soon dissipated once Gray moved on and later left, giving the chance for her little sister to make her way over to her. Mira couldn't wait to hear the details of what he thought about her and the other girls, which would give her a better advantage.

"You asked for me Mira-nee?"

"I sure did Lisanna, could you please tell what you've learned during the request?" Mira had quickly noticed that Lisanna avoided eye contact with her as soon as she asked and began to tap her index fingers together. A reaction that Mira knows all too well, telling her that Lisanna was trying to come up with a way to say that she didn't exactly do what she was asked for.

"The thing is...I couldn't really get much for you Mira-nee." Lisanna was one of very few people that could withstand her sister when she's angry, but even she still has a small fear of what she's capable of.

"Could you tell me why is that?" Mira would always overlook mistakes when it came from her siblings, but this is a very crucial predicament she's in and she doesn't like to work without any intel. How else did you think she became known as the best matchmaker in the guild?

"It took me a while to figure it out, but it looked like he was onto what I was trying to do from the start."

"Gray was always the crafty compared to the other boys, he would've realized something was up sooner or later." The ice mage always found a way to play his pranks or locate his own outlets of information if her memory served her well. "Guess Gray hasn't lost much of his touch."

"But don't worry, he actually told me that you. Cana and Erza were very special to him." The young Strauss knew that wasn't much in the way of info, but she knew that it could serve her sister well in some way.

"Good! At least now I know three people he feels much more connected to. Thank you for trying Lisanna, every bit helps." If she knew Gray to the best of her abilities, the ice mage wasn't one to easily say things like that so she had to give her sister credit for getting him to open up somehow. "Is there something else you needed Lisanna?"

"I've actually been curious as to why you're so interested in Gray? I mean, you've helped other people become couples and yet you haven't decided to be in a serious relationship."

"I don't know how to describe it myself either, it was if just out of the blue that I decided to see Gray beyond the usual brawling boy from our pasts. Even so, he and I share a history together which is also why I'm who am I today instead of that rebellious stage I was when we came."

"I may not know much about it, but what I can say is that Gray's not that bad of person. He's gained my approval even after getting past a few of his faults, but you of all people know how to pick them." Even if she barely got to know a little about Gray aside from what she already did, Lisanna did think he was a good matchup for her sister, although it confused her with the entire situation involving her brother liking him too.

"Thank you Lisanna, it's nice to know that you approve." The young take-over mage smiled at her older sister before she took her leave, allowing Mira to think things to herself. "Gray has changed me for the better, especially when I was at my lowest. He's one of a kind and he'll be mine."

From that point onward it was a regular day with not much happening, but that was not calming down anyone who knew that Gray was spending the day with Levy. Time flew by so slow for the opposing teams, who were mainly spending their time by coming up with plans to nab Gray and get him to spend time with one of them. Team E.L.L.N. wasn't as concerned as they believed that it would be an easy hand off from one teammate to the other which would maximize their time with him; however, it become a worrisome thing when they discovered that a sole group would keep the ice mage to themselves based on who he would prefer to be with.

Sadly, all the efforts that each team had put into creating a plan were wasted when Levy had returned by herself much later in the day, close to sunset actually. The petite girl made her way back to her group to give a report on how her "date" went and made sure not to leave out a single detail. Needless to say that Lucy was envious of her best friend when she got the ideal scene of acting out an important part of romance with a person you're crushing on, Natsu found it to be a boring thing to do, while Erza imagined the whole scene take place with her as the lead role, right after bashing Natsu into the ground for not being considerate of a person's "ideal" date.

The bluenette laughed along with her friends, but on the inside she was truly torn after what had happened during her time with Gray. It was the moment when she realized that this had truly become a two sided coin; with the ice mage on one side and Gajeel on the other.

FLASHBACK

Gray and Levy had finished eating lunch at a bistro in the commercial area of Magnolia, which left the solid script mage a blushing mess as the side compliments she heard from other people started to get to her. She was more than thankful when they were leaving and more so when the ice mage said that they would go to wherever she chooses next, in his own way of making it up to her after teasing her so much. She lead them through multiple shops that she had been meaning to go to for a while, but at some point the ravenette had excused himself from her while she was looking at an item.

It had been some time that Gray was gone before Levy decided that she had to go look for him, hoping that she didn't bore him with what she wanted to do. She searched in multiple places where they had gone or where he would've been, but she couldn't find him anywhere until she heard an argument happening in an alleyway. Both voices that were involved were all too familiar with her and she had decided to stay out of sight as Gray was being confronted by Gajeel. His appearance already breaking the established rule of no one interfering on their time with Gray, but what they were saying kept her silent.

"Get it through your thick skull metal face! I wouldn't dare do that to Levy!" Gray looked to be furious with Gajeel as if he had been accused of something very serious.

"Not until I get your word on this Stripper!" Gajeel looked to be just as furious as Gray, more so since Levy could see that his face seeme to be red with anger.

"You want it then, fine! I swear I won't do any sick acts, from whatever that stupid brain of yours has came up with, to Levy!" The bluenette could tell that Gray was none to happy and the smirk Gajeel was sending his way wasn't helping.

"Good, cuz if you do anything to my Shrimp then I'll make sure you get paid in double." With that Gajeel shoved past the ice mage and walked off further into the alleyway making it Levy's cue to act as if she was still looking for Gray.

She managed to pull it off somehow and was glad that he didn't suspect her of being nearby the exchange he had with Gajeel. Although she couldn't quite lie to herself that her heart truly skipped a beat when Gajeel referred to her as his Shrimp. There really was something between them after all, which made everything she was doing with Gray tear her heart in two. Was she truly living a love triangle romance cliche or something? Nonetheless, her heart was going out to two guys and she has no real clue as to who she should pick. At this point she now understood how Erza must have felt before she put everything into perspective concerning her relationship with Jellal and that with Gray.

FLASHBACK END

She was at a loss, but this gave her a sort of experience that there are some things out there that she can't have. Not much can be done now on her part, but at least she could root for her other teammates to make sure Gray sides with them. Lucy and Erza were their best bet, but Natsu was still a wild card based on how their favorite ice mage reacts with him around. A complicated problem this has become over one guy and Levy hopes that this could be settled easily in the end, as for now she wishes one of the girls get him or at the very least no one of the others grab him.

"I guess romance isn't so easy after all"
