you said through your teeth

They had been fighting for what seemed like hours now. Levy was walking around their apartment trying to pack up for the mission that she was going on, or in other words the thing that they were fighting about in the first place.

"Damn it Levy you are not going on this mission by yourself, end of story!" Gajeel yelled trying to grab her bag from her hands but Levy pulled it away.

"And why can't I, huh? It is a small job that won't take me more then 2 days to get back. I don't understand what you're so pissed off about!" She yelled back at him. Gajeel was taken a back by Levy; she never was really was one to raise her voice at anyone.

"Because I said so, what is why!" Gajeel said leaning down to get into her face. Gajeel could see that Levy was clinching her jaw very tight, it was always a sign that she was about to blow. Levy turned her back to Gajeel and spoke through her teeth

"Well in case you didn't know this but you fucking don't own me! I can take care of myself." She yelled as she clinched her fists. Gajeel frowned and walked up to her.

"Levy I..." Gajeel grabbed her hand "Levy I didn't mean it like that." Levy turned back around and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Well it sure did seem that way." She told him looking down at her feet. Gajeel sighed and wrapped his arms around her. Levy hated when he did that when she was mad; because every time he did she could just fell the angry start to melt away from her small body.

"It wasn't, I promise." He held her close to him for just a little while and kept on going "I'm just scared of losing you Levy. When you leave for a mission on your own or even with those idiots Jet and Droy I don't know what is happening you, I don't know where you are, or who you are with, and that scares me."

Levy looked up at him half in annoyance at the insult that he just gave her friends and half in disbelief that he seems this scared. "I know it seems stupid and everything but I am scared of loosing you. When I'm not with you I'm afride that something is going to happen…and that I will be left alone again." The last part of Gajeel's sentence was a little too quiet for Levy to understand, but she had a hunch on what it was.

"It is just a very simple translation mission, Gajeel. I'll be there and back in 2 days at the most. I promise that I'll be okay," she said smiling up at him "I'm sure you and Lilly can find something to do while you wait for me to get back." Gajeel smiled down on his little girlfriend

"Fine, shrimp, but if anyone hurts you I will find them and I can promise you that they wont live to see another sunrise." He said, his face growing darker with every word. Levy giggled

"Okay you big scary dragon, now how about we go to bed" Gajeel knew that look she was giving him. She looked at him with a half cocked smile looking up at him through her eyelashes. That look drove him crazy, and she knew it.

"Gee hee I'll race ya. First one there gets to pick to postion!" Gajeel said making a break for the stairs

"AH! Not fair you were already ahead of me!" Levy yelled as she ran after her boyfriend laughing and yelling.
