Words that melt iron

Chapter 11

It was days after the 'incident', it wasn't that Levy was avoiding him, no they talked, he teased, there was not a word spoken about the almost kiss, but they talked, it was just that every time they did talk she got a little bit more red each time, and he was worried that one of these days she might explode, so he decided to just have a talk about the almost kiss with her so things could get back to normal, or as normal as they could, now that he fully admitted he had more than a crush on the a shrimp of a girl.

He decided tomorrow when he goes to work he will talk to her..

"Yes that will work." He said to himself while nodding his head "What will metal head?" Asked his overly annoying cousin "None of your concern flame brain." Gajeel said "Fine, oh yeah Lucy told me to tell you something about buying more snacks, said Levy is coming over or something." Natsu said completely oblivious to the way Gajeel stiffened "Why don't you go and get the food." Gajeel asked "Because I have to go and pick up a movie for the girls and go pick up Lucy and Levy on my way back." Natsu said scratching the back of his head "tch fine I'l go buy food." Gajeel growled and got up getting his keys and driving off to the nearest store.

Levy was reluctant to go and hang out with Lucy, she still didn't know what to do about the whole almost kiss situation that happened, she told Lucy about it, but she just smirked and said 'You liiiikeeee him' and that was unhelpful to say the least, but after many hours of persuasion on Lucy's part she finally agreed to do a movie night with her, so now they were together in a coffee shop waiting for Natsu to come and pick them up, and speaking of him, there he is ...

"Hey Natsu." Levy said as Natsu hugged her with a force that would put a bear to shame "Hey Levy long time no see." he said with his usual cheerfulness as they got in to his car "Yeah it't been a while, I'm happy to see you again." Levy said smiling too, there was something about Natsu that made you want to smile.

Ten minutes later they were in front of his house, and Levy felt like this was a bad idea "Lucy, I don't feel so good, maybe we should postpone it." Levy said making Lucy role her eyes "Oh your fine, maybe your hungry." Lucy said even tho she knew her friends 'bad feeling' was just nerves.

As they got in Levy released a breath she didn't know she was holding when she saw Gajeel was no where in sight, so as they sat down on the sofa and started the movie she slowly started relaxing, thinking that Gajeel will be somewhere else tonight, oh was she poorly mistaken.

Gajeel came back home with food perhaps half an hour later, to see bunny girl and shrimp on the sofa watching some action comedy with flame brain next to bunny girl with his arm on her shoulder.

"Yo Bunny girl here is your food." Gajeel said making Lucy jump slightly and pause to movie to retrieve the snacks "Thank you Gajeel, want to watch the movie with us?" Lucy asked him hoping for the affirmative answer "no" he answered plain and simple "But why not? It's not a chick flick it's action please!" Lucy begged "No, I don't have time for that crap." Gajeel said "But what if I ... help you with your singing show like that one time." Lucy said gulping, she didn't want to do that again but if it got those two together then she will have to sacrifice herself "Hmmmm, I do have a show coming up in that new coffee shop, sure I'l watch the movie, do you still have the costume?"Gajeel asked and Lucy nodded, not sure weather to be happy or sad, but as soon as she saw Gajeel sitting on the sofa and Levy blush she knew that dancing in front of people in a bunny costume was worth it..

"Gajeel could you move a little so I can be closer to Natsu?" Lucy asked with a sweet smile while Levy glared at her, oh she knew what her friend was up to and didn't like it one bit "fine" Gajeel said and moved closed to Levy as Lucy snuggled to Natsu 'accidentally' pushing Gajeel a little bit closer to Levy so now their arms were touching.

Gajeel thought about talking to her about the kiss now, but realised that with flame brain and bunny girl here it was not the best time, he also thought of all the things he heard since their escape from the pantry, Erza seamed to like Levy, she threatened to castrate him if he did anything to her, and Juvia told him to ask her out so she can have one less love rival, hell even Elfman thought she was manly for having her opinion, everybody seamed to like her, and he knew why...

So as the movie progressed he paid no attention to it, so when it was finished he had no idea until he looked at the small girl next to him and saw that she was sound asleep as were bunny girl and flame brain.

"Pst, Natsu "he said as quietly as possible making the pink headed man stir and soon after he woke up "What is it Gajeel?"he asked whispering, his voice raspy from sleep "Go take bunny girl to your bed." Gajeel said and Natsu nodded and slowly got up and picked up bunny girl, taking her to their room as Gajeel to slowly got up, he wasn't going to let her leave this late, and he wasn't going to let her sleep on the sofa, so he slowly picked her up and brought her to his room, placing her gently on the bed under the covers, as he was about to leave he heard a small voice calling him.

"Gajeel? What happened?"she asked "Nothing, you fell asleep and I put you to bed, you are staying the night here, you can go home tomorrow." Gajeel said not turning around "Oh, thank you, and Gajeel.." she said "Yeah? "Gajeel said turning around "a-about that thing that almost happened, I-I'm sorry"she said her eyes downcast "Why are you sorry, I made the dare, it should be me who is sorry."Gajeel said looking anywhere but at her "No, I -I am sorry I didn't finish the dare "she said so quietly that if it wasn't a complete silence he wouldn't have heard her, as he was about to ask her what she meant by that he saw that it was to late, she was already asleep "Well Shrimp I'm sorry about that too" he said to himself as he left the room to spend an uncomfortable night on the sofa. What he didn't know was that Levy wasn't sleeping, and she heard what he said, and after he left she couldn't contain her grin anymore as she fell into a blissful sleep...

TOMORROW-

As Levy got up, memories of yesterday resurfaced and her big smile returned, she now knew he liked her at least a little bit, she got out of the bed and went to the kitchen to see him in front of a stowe cooking something while rubbing his neck, he was also muttering some colorful words about the sofa under his breath..

"Good morning" Levy said and he turned around slightly startled, and as he turned around he looked at her in the eyes, he smirked, there was no more of that permanent blush on her face and she had this big smile on her face, that pulled at his own mouth, and he new that now they were okay.

"Good morning." He said finally "What are you cooking?" she asked him "Just some bacon and eggs." he responded casually before the bell rang "Shrimp can you get it, I'm sort of busy." Gajeel asked "Sure no problem." Levy said and got up, slowly going to the door as there was another ring, and as she opened the door her eyes widened and her mouth stood agape before she fully registered the women in front of he who was wearing a matching expression "Maya?!"...
