Dodgeball day ended with minimal bloodshed. True to his word, Gajeel protected me so I wasn't knocked out again. He was one of the captain's and I was the first one he picked, which only pissed of Natsu and Grey. I was shocked he picked me, I wouldn't blame him if he didn't since I'm terrible at these kinda things. I guess since he helped me out I won't try and get revenge for making me participate in this class.
Once we were out of class Gajeel and I headed into town and walked into a small little boutique that sold Halloween costumes. Gajeel and I looked through a few different ones, he would find the most scantily clad uniforms. The first few were a nurse, devil, and angel. They had had short uniforms that showed way too much skin, and some were all cleavage; which I was severely lacking. I blushed at few more that Gajeel tried to pick out for me. After a while and a heated debate Gajeel found a kitty costume that apparently would be perfect for me. I tried to say no but the store was closing up and he we flipped a coin to see who would win.
"Heads I win, tails you do?" He said not really asking.
I sighed then nodded, "Fine!" I watched him flip the coin and when it landed on his palm he opened it and it was heads. He grinned slowly at me.
"You better start practicing your meows." He said smirking.
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever…so what are you going to be?"
He held out his costume…or more like uniform. It was a cops uniform, it came with handcuffs and a fake gun. "I'm a cop, I think it suits me well." He said taking our costumes to the counter. I tried to pay for mine but he waved me away and quickly paid so I couldn't.
I huffed with irritation, "It really does suit you well since you're so bossy and love giving out orders."
"I'd be careful with the sass shrimp, or I might have to arrest you." He said while dangling the pair of handcuffs over my head.
I shook my head, "I know my rights." I said.
He laughs, "You have the right to remain silent, and anything you say or do can be used against you."
My eyes widened, "I'm impressed. You've been paying attention to Law and Order. I thought you hated that show."
He shrugs, "What can I say shrimp, you've rubbed off on me. I have a smart girlfriend, I need to step up my game a little."
I giggled and stood on my tippy toes and kissed him softly, "Mmm." We came back to our dorms, Erza was waiting for us by our rooms. Uh oh…
"I hope you two were planning sleeping in your own rooms…separately." She said narrowing her eyes on Gajeel.
He glared at her but then sighed, "Of course we were." He leaned down and kissed me softly, "Good night shorty." He walked into his own room then he shut the door. I was shocked that he gave in that fast but I was also relieved that he wasn't going to pick a fight with Erza.
"Good night Erza." I said smiling.
She stared at Gajeel's door then nodded at me, "Good night."
I walked into my room and shut the door. It was quite and I wasn't use to sleeping in my own room but I didn't want to get into trouble so I would just have to get used to it. I looked at my costume and sighed. I was going to look silly, only busty leggy women can pull this off. It had the cat ears and tail but it also had a corset that would push up most girls breasts…and mine were very small; I wasn't sure how that was going to work yet. Then it had a very, very short leather skirt with fishnet tights, the boots would give me another inch or so of height but they go up to my knees since I'm so short and I don't have long legs.
I already had my homework done so I didn't have to worry about that, I went into the bathroom and looked at my hickeys. They looked horrible…why would Gajeel do that! Next time we were together like that I wouldn't let him do that. It's a pain to try and cover up them. I cleaned off the makeup then I brushed my teeth and got into my pajamas. It was getting late so I watched TV for an hour then got into bed.
I was laying in the dark and around 1am I nearly screamed when I felt someone climb into the bed with me. I felt them grab me from behind and hug me like a teddy bear. "G-Gajeel?"
"Yeah shrimp?" He sounded very amused.
"Did you enjoy giving me a heart attack?" I snapped.
He laughed, "Sorry I thought you would be asleep."
"Anyone would wake up from that!"
"Shh go to sleep shorty." He said soothingly.
I rolled my eyes at that, but I relaxed into him. "Were not supposed to sleep together." I said.
"I don't give a damn on what Erza says or what the school says either for that matter. It's none of their business." He hugged me tighter to him and kissed my neck. "I'll do what I want, besides no one needs to know."
"Fine but if we get in trouble for this then you're never touching me again." I threatened.
"Go to sleep shrimp." He said kissing me again.
I closed my eyes and smiled as I felt his body heat, it's weird but I felt much safer like that. I always feel safer when he is with me. It's strange to think that only a few months ago I hated him, and now I was so in love with him. I loved him more than I thought possible.
