Author: This wasn't planned but then I had this dream where I was blind (weird) and I couldn't read anymore… Pretty amazing how I use my dreams to write new stupid things *laughs*

Omake XXIII – New eyes.
It had been a simple mission. Find an album and take it to its owner. Levy found it on a high shelf but she didn't call Jet or Droy to get it. The bottle fell on her face and the doctor was clear. Blindness. Loss of sight. And what did Levy? She smiled. Jet and Droy were feeling guilty and they blamed themselves.
"Levy-chan, how are you today?" Levy was sitting on a stool, taking an exotic dish when Lucy approached her slowly.
"I'm fine, Lu-chan. How are you?" Levy didn't turn to her blonde friend, she couldn't see her again. "Have you ever tried this? It's delicious!"
"Yes, I have. My father took me once to a meeting and they prepared this." The fish with vegetables, potatoes and sauces was delicious. "I found a book and I was wondering if… you would like me to read it to you…"
Levy smiled at her, her whole face was glowing.
"Thank you, Lu-chan! That would be wonderful!"
Lucy started to read slowly, her eyes were watering but her voice was steady and clear. Nobody was hearing or seeing them, her words calmed Levy and soon the book was over. Just on time.
"Levy, I have another surprise for you. But we have to walk." Lucy took Levy to a hospital, Levy knew it because of the odour of cleanness and Lucy kissed her. On the lips. "Levy, I like you more than anything. This woman is going to take care of you while I'm gone but we'll talk later, ok?"
"Lu-chan?" Levy wanted to answer her declaration but Lucy didn't respond her. "Lu-chan!"
"This way, Miss McGarden." Levy kept calling for her beloved friend? She liked Lucy too. "Doctor the patient is prepared…"
That was the last thing she heard before she fell asleep. When Levy opened her eyes again, there wasn't darkness. She could see everything again and the first thing she saw was Gajeel by her side. He was talking with Wendy who was healing the Iron Dragon Slayer.
"Gajeel?"
"Shrimp. How are you? Bunny-girl is still sleeping." Lucy? Where was she? "Hey, hey, hey… you have to stay there."
He was wearing an iron made eye-patch and Wendy went to Levy to help her with her blurry eyes.
"Where is Lucy?"
"She talked with you, right?" Gajeel took a mirror and put it in front of Levy. "She is not the only one who loves you, shrimp… no, Levy."
It was the first time that Gajeel said her name and her heart started racing. Then she saw her eyes… her new eyes.
"What… is this?" Her right eye was red, blood-red and the left one was chocolate brown. Now she understood everything. "Gajeel…"
"It's just an eye… Don't cry!" But Levy kept crying and Gajeel patted her softly with a smile. "Shrimp, you need your sight to read all those book, I don't read and Lucy had the idea, we love you and we don't mind giving you our sight."
"Is that Gajeel?" Lucy walked into the room, she was wearing an eye-patch too, hers was black with silver little points. "The big softie is here. How are you, Levy? Is your vision clear?"
"You didn't have to do it, Lu-chan, Gajeel… I was fine!"
"You weren't fine. No reading? You are our bookworm and you have a lot of books to read, lots of place to go, lots of missions to do."
Levy noted that Wendy had left and they were the only people in the room, she blushed and looked down.
"Lu-chan… you… you kissed me." Lucy's cheeks reddened too and Gajeel growled, bending over to kiss the bluenette too. "Gajeel?"
"Listen, shrimp. I love you. Bunny-girl loves you. But you are dense for these things so… We had to take dramatic measures. Stop asking question and say… who do you prefer?"
"I… I can't choose! I like both of you!" Levy gulped and sighed. "I'm not dense. I know Jet and Droy like me, and they are my friends but you… Gajeel, you helped me with the S-class exam and Lucy, you make me really happy, you are my best friend! How can't I love you? And now you just give me new eyes… How can I choose?"
Gajeel and Lucy laughed and then Lucy talked.
"I told you she wouldn't choose." Lucy sat by her side and sighed. "Gajeel and I are on a relationship. But yes because he is good-looking and I'm hot too… we love you and… well, you can't choose so you can be with both of us, can't you?"
Maybe it was because of her new eyes, but she could see things differently and smiled, hugging Lucy.
"Lu-chan!" The blonde mage didn't hesitate to steal one more kiss. "I love you, and you too, Gajeel."
Her new eyes were given by her beloved loves and embraced by Gajeel, embracing Lucy and trying to sleep the three of them in a little hospital bed at the same time, she knew it was going to be really hard but she could face everything now.
