~Levy's P.O.V~

My eyes shot open when I heard the banging on my door. I groaned and slowly got out of bed shuffling my feet over to the door lazily and tiredly. I opened the door and looked up seeing a really happy looking Gajeel Redfox. "Ms. McGarden, we have work to do today." He said as I moved aside to let him in.

"And what would that be?" I said closing the door. I walked towards my dorm's kitchen and got a glass out of the cupboard. I watched Gajeel closely as I filled it then drank it.

"Well we have to practice our graduation march thingy, then we have lunch to go to and other things."

I smiled, "Lunch? You're taking me to lunch?" I asked setting the glass of water down.

"Damn straight." He replied. "Now go get dressed before we're late for rehearsal."

I sighed and made my way to the small dresser on the other side of the room. I picked out one of my favorite dresses and a purple headband that went with it. I then walked into the bathroom. "I'm going to shower," I said looking at my dragon slayer boyfriend from the door. "I'm going to be at least twenty minutes." I smiled at him then closed the door as he picked up a book from the side table.

~Gajeel's P.O.V.~

It took the shrimp a while to finish up in the bathroom and by the time she got out I was dozing off on her couch. I woke up to the opening of the bathroom door. I looked up sleepily and she wore the cutest orange dress that made her look stunning. I stood up and stretched as she walked passed me, her scent leaving a trail of rose behind her.

"You look nice." I commented. She slipped on her shoes. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah." She said looking at me. She smiled and grabbed her bag, then she was out the door. I followed closely behind her.


Our day went by a lot faster than I had hoped it would. She enjoyed lunch with me, which made me very happy. I had to say, I had one of the best girls out there if not the best. She wasn't picky and she didn't mind where we went to eat out. She also could make me smile from just one glance.

"Hey Gajeel?" Levy said as I was about to take my place in the line of our graduating class.

"Yeah, shrimp?" I asked looking at her.

"I-I..." She blushed brightly and looked down at her hands that were fidgeting in front of her. Her small graduation rob fell just above her feet.

"You...?" I looked at her confused. I was honestly curious on what was making her so shy. She hadn't been shy with me for months.

"I ... You." She whispered. I missed the middle word. I glared at her.

"You what? I ain't understanding ya shrimp."

"I love you!" She blurted out then blushed brightly. She looked at her feet and I smirked.

"I love ya too." I replied. I walked over to her and kissed her cheek. "I'll see ya after we graduate."

She smiled shyly and nodded. I took my place in line and waited. By the time it was my turn to receive my diploma, I was nearly asleep. I knew Levy could tell I was tired just by the small smile and look in her eyes when I glanced at her while walking up.

~Third Person~

Levy stumbled through the crowd until she ran into her tall, dragon slayer, boyfriend. "H-hey." She stuttered. She smiled up at him embarrassed that she ran into him.

"Oi, shrimp, you having a hard time seeing?" He asked smirking. Levy glared up at him right before he scooped her up into his arms. "Gotcha!"

"Ga-Gajeel!" She yelled as he started walking through the crowd. She held onto his shoulders scared of falling. "Put me down." She whispered.

"Nah." He said. He carried her to his car where he put her in his passenger side, "I still gotta take ya out to dinner." He smiled at her and she blushed.

"Okay." Gajeel closed the door for her and she looked out the window at the stars in the sky. It was a beautiful night to spend with him, her best friend and lover.
