I went over to Lucy's room to get ready for the dance since that is where all the other girls will be meeting up. Once I got there we had a professional stylist come in and do our hair, a gift from Lucy. I had my hair straightened out and Lucy lent me a diamond headband, which I was nervous to wear. I would be horrified if anything happened to it. Most of the other girl's hair was long enough to add curls and be put in a fancy bun. As we were waiting for our dates we were all talking and laughing with each other. Cana was drinking from her flask while Juvia was nearly bouncing off the walls in excitement of her date with Grey.
"Oh my dearest Grey will look so handsome! Like a prince!" Juvia swooned.
"Just try not to scare him tonight." Lucy said laughing.
Juvia stalked over to Lucy and was up in her face, "Are you questioning my love for Grey? Do you wish to be my love rival?" Juvia said while glaring at Lucy.
"Ugh…not exactly…I'm really not into Grey. Besides I'm dating Natsu."
I heard a knock and went to go answer the door, all the guys came in wearing suits. Natsu had a pink tie on, and Gajeel had a light blue tie on. All the other guys were wearing ties that matched their dates dress. Gajeel walked over to me and grabbed my hand and put a blue flower corsage on my wrist. I smiled at that, it was really sweet. "Thank you." I said blushing.
He shrugged, "It's no big deal."
"Oh wow Lucy, you look hot!" Natsu said while starring at Lucy.
I saw Laxus stare at Lucy as well, Cana was his date though…how strange. She didn't even look like sure cared at all. Not that she was paying attention, she was too busy drinking her little heart out. When Natsu put his arm around Lucy and took a picture of them, Laxus looked like he might murder him. Wow does Laxus have a thing for Lucy? If he did why would he ask Cana out?
Juvia hugged Grey when I heard him compliment her, she looked like the happiest women alive. I grabbed my small purse and took out my phone. "Do you want to take a picture?" I asked smiling at Gajeel.
"Sure shorty, why not." I stood in front of him and gave my phone to Lucy once she and Natsu were done taking a pictures of themselves. Gajeel placed his arm around my shoulder as she took the first one. I gasps as he picked me up bridal style.
"Take another." Gajeel practically ordered Lucy. I laughed sine this really was a playful side of Gajeel that doesn't come out that much.
Once we were all done with photo's we walked done to the dining hall where the dance was being held. It looked beautiful, the lights were dim and a beautiful blue and purple color surrounding the gym. There was a table with snacks and punch, with a man who I assumed worked there. I was shocked to see a DJ there, at my old school we just played music off an iPod. The girls pulled out their dates to the dance floor and I did the same with Gajeel, although I was shocked to see that he didn't really put up much of a fight. He gripped one of my hands and my upper shoulder, he spun me around the dance floor a few times which had me both laughing and dizzy.
Gajeel even managed to laugh while smiling. I asked, "I didn't know you could dance!"
"My parent's made me when I was younger so I could dance at social functions." He told me while spinning me around again. After a few minutes of that, a slow song came on and I was pressed up against him. I looked up at him and he looked down at me, I stared into his dark eyes and him into mine. He leaned down and I thought he was going to whisper something to me but then he pressed his lips to mine. I was shocked at first but it felt so nice that I didn't pull away, I didn't want to pull away. I felt him suck in my bottom lip and bit it softly. I blushed and after a few minutes of kissing he looked at me as we pulled apart.
We were silent for a moment then I couldn't help myself, I just blurted out what I was thinking, "W-what was that? What did that mean Gajeel?"
"It means he loooooves you." I heard Natsu yell while laughing.
"Natsu!" Lucy yelled sounding irritated.
I saw Gajeel's jaw clench but he ignored Natsu which I assumed was a good sign, "Well obviously it means you're my girl now." Gajeel said.
"Your girl?" I asked. "You want me to be your girlfriend?" I felt my face flush.
"Yeah, is that going to be a problem?" He asked harshly.
"Not at all." I said smiling, "I'd like that very much."
His lips tugged up into a smile that he couldn't seem to hide then he pulled me close again and crushed his lips against mine. He pulled away a few seconds later, "Excuse me for a minute, I need to go kick that pink haired idiot's ass." He said while cracking his knuckles while smirking evilly. I watched him walk over to Natsu and grab Natsu by his tie.
Lucy came over while shaking her head, "Boys." He said sighing.
"If you want I can go get him to stop." I said shrugging.
"Nah, Natsu knew what he was doing. Plus if you interfere it will only get Natsu to harass Gajeel even more. I really love that idiot but sometimes I wish he could act a little more mature." Lucy said.
Laxus walked over to us and moved around us to get to the punch, "I don't know why you bother with that idiot anyways." He said shrugging. "You'd be better off with someone who acted his age and who you didn't put in the friendzone."
I looked at him shocked and Lucy was looking pissed, "Excuse you? Natsu is not in the friendzone!"
"Sure he is, you guys barely ever kiss and when you do it reminds me of two dolphins kissing." He said smirking.
I saw Lucy's cheeks heat up in embarrassment, "It's none of your business Laxus!" She snapped and walked away angrily.
"You know if you like Lucy you probably shouldn't insult her." I said looking at him.
He looked at me with annoyance, "I never said that I liked her." He said gruffly.
"You didn't have to, it's written all over your face." I said.
"Mind your own business kid!" He walked away and over to Cana who was drinking herself silly.
I went over to Gajeel and pulled him away from Natsu, "C'mon let's dance." I said while looking at him. He nodded and walked away from him and onto the dance floor with me. We danced for a while and after a few hours we headed up to our rooms. Right before I opened my door Gajeel grabbed me and hoisted me up, I wrapped me legs around his waist and he planted his mouth on mine again. He nipped at my lips and as we locked lips I heard someone coming so I stopped and looked at his grinning face. I wondered how this relationship would work out.
