Levy stood at the entrance of the cave with Gajeel, she looked at him and smiled. "Our family is finally back together." She said. She looked into his crimson eyes and saw his love for her. Her heart picked up pace just staring into them.
"Hang on." He said with a smirk, "This is yours." He said pulling her wedding ring out of his pocket. He slipped on her finger and she frowned. Gajeel stuck his hands back in his pockets and kissed her softly.
Levy couldn't help but smile at the gesture. She kissed him back. She felt the warmth of his lips send all the cold away that had been left in her heart. All regret of her actions of the past months disappeared. The only thing that was left troubling her was Jes had her believing Jet was her one true love and she couldn't take back the things the two of them had done. She knew for sure that she and Jet had never had sex, but it still troubled her.
"Come on, squirt." Gajeel said taking Levy's hand. She blushed at the nickname she hadn't heard in forever. She really had missed him. The whole time she was confused with all the lies, she always felt like something was missing, it wasn't until she realized it was all lies that she realized it was Gajeel she missed. Gajeel, and the small girl that was now standing five feet in front of her.
"Mommy!" Darcy exclaimed happily. She rushed to her wrapping her small arms around Levy's neck. Levy lifted her up into a hug and held her. "Where have you been?!" The child demanded.
Levy glanced at Gajeel, clear that the two of them didn't want to tell her. "I've just been on a job." She said with a smile.
Darcy giggled and jumped out of her arms. "Mommy look!" Darcy made solid script"flowers" in front of her mother and Levy gasped in surprise. Darcy just giggled.
"Where did you learn that?" She asked looking over at Gajeel.
Gajeel smirked, "Gihihi." He wrapped an arm around Levy's shoulders, "I took her to your old master."
Darcy smiled and crawled up Gajeel's side until he picked her up. She smiled and Aquamist came out of the back of the care. "Oh, you found her." she said. Darcy cuddled her face into Gajeel's neck and Gajeel nodded. Levy took Darcy and held her close. "Are you taking her home then?"
"Yeah." He said. "She'll come back everyday for lessons though." Gajeel said. "Jet will bring her over and bring her home."
Levy looked up at the dragon. "Thank you." she said quietly. Aquamist just nodded.
Gajeel and Levy stood in Darcy's doorway watching her sleep. Pantherlily was snuggled up beside her. "She loves him." Levy said looking up at her husband. Gajeel's eyes looked down and met hers before she continued, "He's always been good with kids, hasn't he?"
Gajeel shrugged remembering the girl back in Edolas before he had claimed him as his cat. Then there was Asuka who the cat had been great friends with before she was old enough to start going on small jobs with her parents and later joined a team with Wendy and Romeo. Gajeel sighed, "Yeah thinking about it he has been. He makes a great babysitter." Gajeel smirked.
Levy rolled her eyes and closed the Darcy's bedroom door then made her way down the small hallway towards hers and Gajeel's room when Gajeel scooped her up from behind. She let out a small scream in surprise and blushed brightly as Gajeel held her bridal style. He smirked at her, "Gihihi."
Levy swallowed and Gajeel looked into her eyes. The two held eye contact as Gajeel walked into their room and closed the bedroom door. He laid her gently on the bed and got on top her. He kissed her softly.
Levy's eyes closed once hers and Gajeel's lips met. Her heart raced as she tugged at Gajeel's shirt lifting it wanting him to take it off. How long had it been since she had the chance to feel his strong muscles? She wanted to run her fingers through his soft, dark, locks of hair. She wanted to kiss him so aggressively they were both breathless, but once Gajeel's shirt was off and he was just above her they stared into each other eyes. Gajeel's face was inches from Levy's. He was smiling at her. Levy felt breathless as their lips slowly met again.
"I love you, Levy." Gajeel spoke softly once they pull from the kiss.
Levy just looked up at Gajeel as she caught her breath from the kiss. She had so many things to say to him, and she had no clue where to start. When she finally spoke, it was the five words that she knew would tell him everything was better.
"I love you, too, Gajeel." She said at last. Gajeel's smile and his small kisses to her neck took her to another place. She had her arms wrapped around him placing her hands on his back gently. "I missed you." She whispered.
"And I missed you. I'm glad you're home." Gajeel hovered over her again and their eyes locked again.
Levy loved the look of his red eyes. She could gaze into them forever and she was glad they would always look back into hers, forever and longer.
