Once I got my breakfast I ran over to Lucy's table, Laxus had stopped Gajeel from following me since he needed to talk to him about something. I sat down next to Lucy and let out a breath of relief that I had I made it to the table and not died of embarrassment. Lucy stared at me in disbelief, "What was that? I've never seen Gajeel…do anything like that before."

I shook my head, "I don't know…all I said was that he might be jealous of Midnight and he-"

"Wait what? Midnight? Why would he be jealous of Midnight?" She interrupted.

"Well I was meaning to tell you, I'm Midnight's friend now." I said softly while waiting for her reaction.

"Are you crazy?" He asked while nearly yelling, "He is insane! He stabbed a kid last year…"

"I know okay! But he has a reason for it, you guys don't know what he's going through." I said defensively. She waited for me to tell her so I explained to her about Midnight's situation and when I was done she no longer looked at me like I was crazy, she looked sad.

"I can't believe this." She said. "So now because of that kid who threatened his family, he has no one."

"He has me." I said smiling. "I'm his friend and were going out to lunch in town today, Gajeel is coming too. It'd be real nice if you could explain to everyone about Midnight's situation and maybe invite them along. Maybe Midnight could make some more friends out of them."

"Wow and Gajeel is okay with this whole thing? Last time I checked he hated Midnight more than anyone."

"Well technically he still does but we are working on that. So will you come and bring alone everyone else?" I asked.

She nodded, "Sure, it sounds like fun…but do you mind if I leave Natsu out of this? I just don't want to see him right now?"

"Things aren't going that well between you two?"

She shook her head and looked close to tears, "He went on a date with Lisanna last night." She said clenching her hands in her lap.

"But I thought you wanted a break?"

"I did…do…but I didn't think that he would be dating other people either!" She sighed and shook her head, "I guess I'm just being stupid…he has every right to go out with whoever he wants."

"You still care for him." I said placing my hands on top of hers. "But maybe this will help you to move on, and you can start dating others too?"

She nodded, "Yeah your right Levy."

"Don't worry Natsu doesn't have to come if you don't want him to." I said trying to cheer her up.

"Thanks, I'll talk to everyone else and see if they want to join."

Gajeel came back after a few minutes while shaking his head. I started to eat trying to ignore him, I was still mad at his little stunt. "Shorty I grabbed you a banana muffin, I know that their favorite." He said handing me one while digging into his own food.

"Thanks." I muttered while taking the muffin and munching on it quietly.

He looked over at me and grinned, "C'mon shrimp, you're not mad at me are you? I did that for you."

I rolled my eyes and shook my head, "Please, you did that for yourself!" I noticed Lucy was trying not to listen in to our conversation, she had turned and started talking to Grey. Juvia came over and placed herself between them while calling Lucy her love rival.

"I didn't…"

I refused to let him even finish that sentence, "You were feeling jeal…territorial so you decided to stake your claim by embarrassing me in front of everyone!"

"Shrimp you're going to have to get use to me being territorial because once your mine your mine. I don't want other guys touching you, it's how I've always been. If I have to deal with you being friends with Midnight then you have to deal with me being territorial."

I sighed, "Fine…just try not to overdo it!"

He smirked and kissed me and we ate breakfast peacefully while I explained to Gajeel the latest book series I had been reading. He didn't even seem board as I basically fangirled over this book. He just ate while listening to me, once in a while he would through in a question or two. Once we were done, we went back to his room and watched TV while making out for a while. It was getting close to noon so we decided to leave for town.

When we were close to the café I was a text from Lucy explaining that she had been able to get most of the guys to show up for lunch, they were actually pretty sympathetic to Midnight. I just hoped no one would say anything negative to Midnight or bring up the incident from last year. I'm sure he is still pretty sensitive about it, not that I blame him. When Gajeel and I walked into the café I saw Midnight at a big table with, Grey, Juvia, Lucy, Cana, Erza, and some guy with blue hair and a black tattoo under his eye.

"Who is that?" I asked Gajeel.

"Who him?" He pointed at the blue haired guy. "That's Jellal, he is Erza's boyfriend."

"Oh I didn't even realize that Erza had a boyfriend." I said.

"Yeah from what I heard they were childhood friends and their parents are good friends. I wouldn't be surprised if they became engaged after they graduate."

I shook my heading thinking about what my grandmother said about marrying me off after I graduated, "What's with everyone becoming engaged and married…were still young…" I muttered.

Gajeel shrugged, "Some of the more elite families think it's a good way to merge families and companies together. Do you have a problem with marriage?" He asked curious.

I shook my head, "No…it's nothing."

"Hey are you guys going to just stand there or come join us?" Grey yelled out. I saw Erza whack him on the side of his head. "Oww, damn Erza what was that for?"

"It's rude to yell in a public place, Grey!" She scolded. I stifled my giggles and Gajeel placed his hand on my upper back and led to over to the table. I sat beside Midnight and Gajeel sat next to me, he looked annoyed but didn't say anything.

"You don't need to get all uptight, we aren't in school."

"People know we are from Fairy Tail Academy, we are a reflection of our school. So behave!" She snapped at him.

"Awww man, so does this mean I can't drink?" Cana whined.

"No you cannot! You are underage, no one would even serve you." Erza said irritated.

"Who said anyone had to serve me? I can serve myself." Cana said shrugging. Erza gave her the stink eye and then Cana shut up.

"How are you Midnight?" I asked pleasantly.

"Oh I'm much better now that you're here." He said smiling at me. I heard Gajeel growl lowly, luckily no one else heard him. I kicked him under the table but I cursed under my breath since all it did was make my foot throb in pain and it looked like he didn't even notice it. We all ordered our lunches and started to eat. I mainly listened as everyone started to talk and joke around with Midnight, even Erza looked like she was having a good time.

It seemed like this lunch was a great success all until Midnight spoke to me, "Hey kitten why don't you try this?" Before I could answer him he fed me a piece of his brownie sundae off his fork.

Gajeel dropped his fork and glared at him, "What the hell are you doing?!"
