Honestly Lucy didn't think she would meet someone she knew from High School so soon. Now her paycheque of the month has gone towards the amount of food that her saviour ate. She and him did used to talk a lot with each other when they were playing the same game back then. She didn't think he would become a police officer because he was super quiet back then and the last she heard of him was that he was studying for a degree in hospitality, since he wasn't the kind of person to post on social media despite having accounts for it.

"So Gajeel….what are you doing in this area?" questioned Lucy as she watched Gajeel chow down the plates of food.

"I was assigned to patrol this area, nothing much had happened though, well apart from your case." he replied still with his mouth full.

"I honestly never expected you to be a police officer." Lucy stated taking her own fries in her mouth.

"Well people change I guess….I can see you certainly did." Gajeel said as he took a moment from his food and took a look at Lucy, more particularly, her body assets.

"I can see you did as well." Lucy replied, not bothering to care about the suggestive comment as she eyed his arm muscles and boy were they 10 times larger than the ones in high school.

"Meh, it's what happens when you workout all day for training. Although I couldn't say the same to you, considering how all you post on 'Snapchat' is about food but I could be wrong. So was it genetics that turned you from A to C?"

Lucy rolled her eyes, wondering why she was having this conversation with him. He never used to talk much back then and she didn't think he was a pervert as well but Lucy guessed time really did change people but still, she replied.

"Definitely genetics. I haven't gone to gym in years." Lucy back then had a very small body proportion, in fact some of the guys in her class had much more bigger chest than she did. Sometimes she wished she too had at least a B cup since back then it was something to be proud off even if the big breast girls did say it was troublesome. Although Lucy now wishes she didn't grew that big because she used to be able to fit clothes that she brought 5 years ago, now not anymore.

"Well you better start going now because I'm gonna fatten you up since now i know you live around here. Gihi." Gajeel grinned as he finished the plat of meat.

"Why? DOn't tell me you expect me to treat you every time, I'm not that rich you know."

"Please, this is for your thank you since I saved your bag. Next time I'm treating."

"Why is that? Aren't you and Levy dating?"

"Levy was the one that told me to take care of you when she found out I was to take care of this area. How come you never told anyone that you had an eating disorder?"

Again Lucy's eyes rolled the 100th time today, trust Levy to notice every single thing about people. "It's not a huge disorder, it's just that I have weird timings to crave for food and it's not like it's messing up my health or anything."

"So only having ice blended mocha and hash brown from Mcdonalds for breakfast is not affecting your health? Or during lunch time, you sometimes skip it when you're still doing minor workloads? Nor does the little amount of food you chose to eat at dinner time damaging at all?"

Lucy's eyes widen, "Are you stalking me?"

"Not me, Levy.. Don't ask me how she knows, that woman has some scary connections, I tell ya."

Lucy let out a sigh as she proceeded to facepalm herself. It wasn't like Lucy was suffering from a sickness or anything, if she wanted to eat something she would despite the time differences. It wasn't like she was starving herself, well she did at some point noticed that she had put on some weight, so she ate less but that technically didn't last a long time or so Lucy had hoped.

"Come on Bunny Girl, your life ain't that depressing. In fact I find it rather amusing." Gajeel chuckled as he saw Lucy's face turn red, just like back then when they had presentations or an outdoor activity, Lucy's face was the first to go red.

"How….how did yo-"

"Levy."

"UGH" Lucy slammed her head onto her palms. There was one point in her younger years where she wanted to try on 'Cosplay' and the first outfit she was given by her colleague mates was a playboy bunny outfit. They were at a party full of girls, Lucy didn't think of any harm until their phones came flashing.

"I'll definitely report her to the police for invading privacy." Lucy muttered

"You sure you wanna bet that Levy doesn't have insight moles in the system?" Gajeel remarked.

"Why is the world like this…"

"Cuz sadly those with money and connections have the advantage to play the world."


After they were done talking, they hung out around the mall for awhile, getting some supplies and stuff. They spend the next 2 hours catching up on each other and other things that Levy had informed him about.

Lucy had found out that Gajeel had an uncle in the police force that once took Gajeel there as an intern for awhile, so that Gajeel had some experience in how work life works. So when Gajeel had found out all the details and training that a policer officer had, it became exciting for him so he continued it as a career. Despite polices having a somewhat conflicted reputation on the net, Gajeel didn't really care if people thew insults at him as they ran by, they were after all had their freedom of speech. Sometimes he would see idiotic teenagers walking around with clearly visible drugs at hand, so he usually had to confiscated their items and drive them back home. Of course not leaving without a reason as to why the kid was smoking pot.

Gajeel had a sense of being able to tell when a person is lying, so he would sometimes find the kids in a damage home environment and report it back to headquarters. Gajeel wasn't the type to take shit from anyone, if the suspect was trying to bribe him with money, he would increase the fee twice the amount.

Apparently Gajeel and Levy had clashed during one of Gajeel's investigation trips. Gajeel was informed that someone was murdered in the apartment that Levy stayed in, in fact she was just 2 levels above the murder room. So Levy had went to check out the commotion that was happening and there she saw Gajeel, Gajeel too saw her among the crowd. After Gajeel was done investigating the place, he and Levy had a couple hours of talk and catching up with each other. Ever since then he would always go to visit Levy when he was around the area or was back to the investigation scene.

It wasn't until the second time that a person died in the same exact apartment, just 3 doors away from the previous victim. So Gajeel had deemed that it was unsafe for Levy to stay there anymore. Levy had said that she didn't have any relatives nearby and that the room was the perfect place to go to work. Levy being stubborn but Gajeel being even more stubborn, had toss Levy's things into a bag he found in the corner while Levy yelled at him to stop. After messily packing, he had threw Levy over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and sat her in his car all the while Levy was yelling and curious heads were turned but they quickly turned back when they saw Gajeel glare at them. And that was how Levy was condemned in 'Gajeel Prison'.

He would drive her to work everyday and drive her back. They had breakfast and dinner together everyday and sometimes they would ask each other for help on their work. That was how Levy became a genius information hacker, by studying all the files and paperwork Gajeel had asked her with help with, she was able to encode into the city's system and found the culprit.

Despite having the case resolve, both Levy and Gajeel had already been used to living with each other so Levy never went back.

"And let me tell ya, that pipsqueak can really filled up a room with books in a matter of hours." Gajeel growled as Lucy laughed with her mint chocolate ice cream in hand.

"Sounds like you have your hands full with her, huh?"

"You have no idea..."

"Oh ya, I forgot to tel you." Gajeel suddenly said as he faced Lucy's questioning gaze.

"Natsu's coming back from Edolos and he told me that he's staying for some time."

"Why?'

Gajeel shrugged his shoulders, " Apparently he told me he had some unfinished business here to do, I guess after he's done he would go back to Edolos."

"Hm...I see." Lucy responded back.

Soon they bid farewell and they each went back home as the sun settled just in time for the moon to shine its light onto a plane preparing for landing at Magnolia Airport.
