I chewed the brownie quickly then swallowed nervously as Gajeel was glaring at Midnight with hatred. Midnight didn't even look very concerned, he looked at Gajeel with a curious expression. Everyone at the table got really quiet, they stopped eating and just watched. I don't even think they knew what they should do, I sure didn't. "Is there a problem?" Midnight asked Gajeel.

"You bet your ass there is!" Gajeel yelled, "Who the hell do you think you are? You can't cant some intimate with my girlfriend!" He snarled angrily.

Midnight's brow rose, "Oh? And what did I do that made it seem like I was being intimate with her?"

"How about the fact that you were feeding her, and not to mention you calling her….kitten." He spat that last word out in disgust, "You don't get to give her pet names, got it?"

"So only you can give her pet names?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Midnight glared back at Gajeel, they were having a very serious looking staring contest going on. "Guys…can't we just try and get along and have some fun?" I asked.

"No." They both said as they glared at each other.

"I'm only going to say this once, so don't make me repeat myself." Gajeel's voice tone changed, it sounded low and dangerous. "Don't touch her again, and I don't want to hear you calling her any pet names either."

Midnight looked at Gajeel, but he didn't look fearful look most would. "I won't agree to those terms." He said simply. He scooted his chair back and looked at everyone, "I'm going to leave but lunch is on me, thank you all for coming. I had a good time…mostly." He said looking at Gajeel. Gajeel's hands clenched into tight fists. Midnight passed us but then bent down and whispered something in Gajeel's ear that I couldn't hear. Once he left the café after paying, I saw Gajeel shaking in anger.

Gajeel quickly stood up, "I need to go." He left without even looking at me. I wonder what Midnight said to him to get him that upset.

"Sorry guys…I didn't know this would happen." I said looking out the window.

"You didn't know, it's alright." Lucy said.

"Although I knew this might be the outcome of today, after all Gajeel and Midnight use to be childhood friends."

"They were friends? All Gajeel said was that he knew Midnight as a kid, he never said anything about being friends with him…"

"Well they weren't technically friends, their father's made them play together when they were kids. Gajeel didn't have much of a choice in it, but Midnight was an odd child…so they never really became friends."

Wow I can't imagine being forced to play with other kids, my parents never made me do that. They let me make friends on my own, and they never expected me to play with kids I didn't like. "Gajeel said that Midnight's father and his weren't on good terms, what happened?"

Erza and Jellal looked at each other for a moment then Jellal spoke again, "Midnight's father and Gajeel's father became partners and created a company together but Gajeel's father found out that Midnight's father was embezzling money. Midnight's father nearly went to jail, but he got his lawyers to get him off his a slap on the wrists."

"They went their separate ways, but Midnight's father always held a grudge. Gajeel's father was able to keep his company and fix the damages that were made. And Midnight's father created a competing company." Erza said. "They hate each other still to this day."

Wow that's crazy, but it doesn't have anything to do with their sons. Gajeel wouldn't want me to hang out with Midnight after today but I can't just abandoned Midnight either. I need to talk to Gajeel about this, make him see reason and find out what Midnight said to Gajeel. "Thank you guys for telling me that, I'm sorry to leave like this but I need to go talk to Gajeel." I stood up.

"You better hurry, he looked pretty upset. Who knows what kind of trouble he'll get into." Grey said. Juvia wasn't even listening to us talk, she was too focused on staring at Grey while making soft sighs as she looked at him.

I nodded then left the café and started to look around town for him. I tried to call him a few times but his phone went to voicemail. I searched for him for three hours and I couldn't find him anywhere in town, I even looked around the school for him. Eventually I walked down to his room and knocked on the door. I heard a crash come from his room and I twisted the knob but it was locked. "Gajeel?!" It was quiet and I twisted the knob like crazy trying to get in. "Let me in Gajeel! Please!" I yelled. Once again there was no answer, I heard another crash and gasps. He must be breaking stuff in his room. "GAJEEL!" I yelled but I could only hear thunder outside. Damn him!

I would have to take a page from Gajeel's book of being a criminal. I took out my grandmothers credit card and then I slid down on my knees, I stuck the card in the door and started to wiggle it around trying to get the door to unlock. I heard another bang coming from the room and I tried to open the door by wiggling my card in there even faster, "Damn…how did he do that?!" I cursed under my breath.

"Shrimp? What are you doing?" I heard an amused voice asked.

I turned and saw Gajeel looking at me while trying not to laugh, he chucked softly. "I…I thought you were in there…" I muttered. I blinked then looked back at the door, "Wait…if you're not in there, then who is…?"

His brows pulled together in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Well I thought you were in there since I heard a lot of banging around and I think I heard something break in there…."

He picked me up and placed me back on my feet, "Stay back shorty. Stay out here I'm going to go check it out." He placed his body between me and the door, he then took out a key and opened the door slowly. He walked inside and looked around. I walk in behind him quietly, I heard a crash and yelped then grabbed the back of his shirt out of fear. "I thought I told you to stay out there!" He snapped while trying to stay quiet.

"You did, I just didn't listen." I said shrugging.

"Stubborn." He said shaking his head. When another bout of thunder came, Lily ran around his room like his tail was on fire. I heard Gajeel sigh and shake his head, "Damn cat! No one broke in here shorty, Lily just hates storms. The noise you heard was probably Lily breaking my crap." He picked up a broken lamp.

"Oh…right. Sorry about that." I said blushing slightly, I felt silly.

He looked at me curious, "Why did you think I was in there breaking things?"

"Well you left the café pretty upset and then Erza and Jellal told me about you being forced to be friends with Midnight. They even told me about yours and Midnight's father. I'm really sorry Gajeel." I said softly.

He sighed, "Its fine shrimp that was a long time ago." He sat on the bed and looked at me, I crossed my arms.

"Gajeel tell me what Midnight said to you." I demanded.

"I don't want to talk about it shorty." He muttered looking away from me.

I walked over to him and grabbed his face with both my hands then forced him to look at me, "I don't care, I want to know."

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you." He said.

"Try me."

"Fine but don't get mad at me if I tell you!" He said glaring at me, I nodded then he began. "Before Midnight left he said that I never learned to treat my toys right and not much has changed now. He said that he plans to take you from me, like he use to do with my toys as a kid." Gajeel wouldn't meet my gaze.

I looked at him shocked, would Midnight really say that? "Midnight use to take your toys when you guys were kids?"

He nodded, I licked my lips nervous trying to decide on what to do. After a minute pasted I finally spoke. "Gajeel look at me please." He slowly looked at me, he actually looked worried, "I believe you."

"You do?"

I nodded, "Of course, I know you would never lie to me about this. I promise you that Midnight will never steal me from you. I love you too much." I said.

He stared at me in shock, "You love me?"

I nodded now looking at him nervous. Maybe I shouldn't have said that, but it was how I'm feeling at the moment. Gajeel's hand suddenly grabbed me and pulled me on his lap. "I love you too shrimp." He crushed his mouth to mine and he kissed me like a man in love. I had no doubt in my mind that Gajeel and I were meant to be.
