As I walked down to the gym, I got a few double takes and whispers from people that I strutted past.
"Who is that?"
"I don't know, I've never seen her before." I heard one guy say.
Smiling to myself in delight, I'm glad they don't know who I am. That makes me wearing this outfit even easier and less embarrassing. Right now, I wouldn't care because my confidence level just went up 20 notches and I feel like I can destroy anyone who dares to step in my way. I feel like the actual Catwoman.
"I'm glad I fed Lily before I left, but I'm hoping I won't be out later than I need to be." I said to myself as the sound of muffled music poured out of the building.
I took a deep breath, feeling a little uneasy, and anxious as to what's going to happen next. Will he recognize me? Will he just dismiss me or will he be surprised? I hope he's more surprised than anything.
Hearing my heeled boots clicked against the pavement, gave me a new sense of confidence. I felt like I could take over the world with just these shoes. They gave me the feeling of immense power and overwhelming sexiness. I completely understand why women superheroes wear heels, because of this feeling exactly. If someone tried to attack me right now, I would not hesitate to kick them in the throat.
With a confident smile on my face, head held high and hips swaying, I walked into the gym. The room was dark with colorful lights flashing around the room illuminating the dance floor and the DJ who stood on stage bobbing his head to the music he played. Thanks to the street lights from coming from outside, I can see everyone a lot better than if I was in the middle of the crowd.
Alongside the basketball court where people where dancing, there was tables filled with food and drinks, with chairs on both sides. There were so many people in here that I'm not even sure I'll be able to find Lucy and Natsu.
"Levy!" I heard a voice squeal.
Turning my head to my left, I saw Wonder Woman jogging over towards me, with her….Superman?
"Omg! You look so cute!"
"Thanks, Lu-chan."
"Holy crap, Levy! I didn't know you could dress like that!"
"Thanks, Natsu, or should I say superman?" I smiled looking at how his hair was slick down with one pink curl on his forehead.
"I wanted to be the little mermaid but Lucy talked me out if it." he said with a defeated tone as he slumped his caped shoulders.
"Sounds to me, like you still want to."
"Please, don't encourage him." Lucy said shaking her head.
"You look really good as Wonder Woman." I commented, smiling proudly at her.
"Even though she has blonde hair." Natsu added, earning a smack upside the head from Lucy.
"It doesn't matter, it's a costume."
"If it was just a costume, I could've been Ariel by now! But nooooo! I was threaten and persuaded to change my mind!" Natsu complained throwing his arms up in the air in protest.
I couldn't help but laugh as Natsu ranted on about being Ariel. I could see Lucy's eye twitch in irritation at the pink headed male.
"Geez! Even with the loud music, you're still loud as ever!" Gray said appearing from the crowd.
He was wearing a black trench coat, shirt, pants and boats. He had fangs with fake blood smudges around his mouth.
"Shut it, Popsicle or dumb vampire-sicle."
"That's not even a word flame brain."
"I know it's not, that's why I just made it up!"
"Nice costume Gray," I said grabbing his attention.
"Holy crap! Levy?"
"Yea?"
"You look so hot in that!"
"Um thanks, Gray." I said my cheeks stinging a little by his compliment.
"Hell yea she does!" I heard someone say as I felt a hand smack my butt, making me jump.
"CANA!" I squealed turning around to see the brunette wearing a blue bathing suit top and brown capris.
"What are you supposed to be Cana?" Natsu asked.
"A sober me. Isn't that scary!"
"Yea, that is scary."
"Ah, whatever superman. Anyway, what's got into you levy? You wearing this sexy outfit. Are you trying to get some tonight?"
"No! No! I don't want anything tonight!" I said waving my hands in front of my red face. She leaned in, inches away from my face with a big smile and slightly squinted eyes. I looked at her with big eyes and a red cheeks, hoping she wouldn't figure out, why I was really here and dressed like this.
"Just leave her alone Cana, she's just here to have a good time like us." Lucy said, making Cana slowly back away from me.
I let out a relieved sigh, slumping my shoulders, sending Lucy a thank you smile, and getting a no problem nod in return.
"Oh! Lucy! I see you got the fellows on display tonight!" Cana said going over to Lucy.
She stood behind Lucy, grabbing her breast squeezing them with a pleased smirk on her face.
"Ah! Cana!"
"How are my fellows today?"
"Stop calling them fellows! Why do you name them?" She whined in defeat. No one goes without at least one of Cana's groping sessions, especially Lucy.
The guys snickered as Cana continued to talk to Lucy's boobs and Lucy stood there in defeat, letting her just get it over with. I couldn't help but laugh, knowing it's better to just let her do it. We're all friends anyway and even seen each other naked a few times. Us girls anyway.
After Cana had her fun, we all decided to move to the dance floor to have even more fun. I was curious as to where Gajeel was, but I didn't want to be questioned by Cana as to why I was looking for the giant of a man. So, I just shoved the thought in the back of mind and decided to have a little fun and find him later.
We were in the very center of the basketball court, dancing to our hearts content. It was so dark and there were so many people around us that I could barely see who was around me. The blue, red, and green lights, was the only source that hinted at a person's identity as it flashed past their face.
I was giggling while I danced with Lucy, letting the music take over my body. The rhythm of the pop song, flowed throughout my body as I sing along. My hips moved with the beat, while I raised my arms up in the air, shaking my butt.
"Levy!" Lucy yelled over the loud music.
"What?"
"I almost forgot how good of a dancer you are!"
"Thanks! I almost forgot too!" I giggled still moving with the beat.
"I think someone has noticed as well."
"What are you-"
"Hey, Levy!"
"Gajeel!" I yelped turning quickly to face him.
He still had on his zombie make up and clothes, but his eyes were a deeper shade of red. It almost looked passionate or that he wanted something that he couldn't speak of. I may be mistaken but is this who Lucy was talking about?
He looked me up and down with those smoldering red eyes, making my entire body heat up with embarrassment. Why is he looking at me so intensively, like he's analyzing me. He shifted his gaze from me to the crowd beside him and cleared his throat.
"Nice costume, shrimp."
"Thanks."
"I didn't really expect you to come, since you didn't make up your mind yet." He said crossing dirty arms over his chest.
"Yea, I decided to come since I already had the costume and I knew everyone would be here."
"Yo! Gajeel, you was the coolest zombie!" Natsu interrupted, smacking his cousin on the shoulder.
"That's because he actually scared everybody with his face." Gray said.
"Oi! I'm just good at what I do, it has nothing to do with my face!"
"I don't know, you can look pretty scary most of the time…all of the time." Natsu said, earning a shove from the tall man.
"Hey! That was uncalled for!" Natsu shouted as he tried to regain his balance.
Gajeel just gave him a sharp glare, as Natsu nonchalantly shrugged with an indifferent look on his face, making Lucy and I laugh.
The upbeat pop music and strobe light that was moving everyone to its fast pace, was now changed into a slow dance song, calming the atmosphere of the gym. The sweaty bodies moved at a turtles pace, letting everyone catch their breath. I looked around, watching people turn to slow dance with their partners. Natsu grabbed Lucy, and Cana grabbed Gray, ignoring his refusal to dance. All there is left is…..me and Gajeel.
I looked up to see him with his arms crossed with the same mean glare on his face, probably still irritated by his pink headed cousin.
A squeak left my lips when his glare looked down at me. "Hope you don't think I'm going to dance with you 'cause I'm not."
"I didn't ask you, did I?" I snapped back, looking away from him, trying not to reveal my pouting face.
Stupid Gajeel, I didn't want to dance with him anyway, but my heart is telling me different. It dropped down to my knees in disappointed at his words and my stomach twisted in agonizing pain. Why do I feel so disappointed, even though it doesn't matter if he dances with me or not.
I let out a light sigh, slumping my shoulders a little, trying not to reveal my hurt feelings. Crossing my arms over my stomach, I watched Lucy smile sweetly at Natsu as they slow danced. I couldn't help but smile myself, my best friend was happy and enjoying the moment with her long time crush and best friend.
"Why are you pouting shrimp?" Gajeel questioned, making me snap my head in his direction.
"What? I'm not pouting!"
"Liar! You actually want to dance with me." He said leaning down close to my face.
My cheeks turned a slight shade of pink, and my eyes bugged out at him reading my mind. I'm really not good at hiding my facial expressions. I need to work on that.
"I-I don't want to dance with you!"
"I didn't know shrimp was such a liar."
"I'm not a liar!" I pouted up at him, stomping my heeled foot.
He gave me his famous Gihi laugh, smiling that fanged smile that can make you think twice about what you were just thinking about.
"Alright, since you're going to be like that, I guess I can dance-"
"LOVE RIVAL!" a female voice rang out, causing everyone to turn in the direction of the voice.
There was a woman with long wavy blue hair, wearing a Witch costume, with a tall black hat sitting on her head. Her pale features contrasted with her red and pouty face, as she stood beside Cana and Gray.
"Oh Shit!" Gray cursed as he jumped away from Cana.
"Why are you dancing with her Gray-sama?" the blue haired woman questioned.
"It's not like-"
"I thought you like Juvia, Gray-sama."
Juvia? Why does that name sound so…familiar?
Oh right! Gajeel's childhood friend! That's her….she's so pretty…and apparently talks in third person. She has blue hair, like me. LIKE ME! OH NO! That has to be girl Gray messed around with that night he got drunk! Holy crap!
Gajeel must've realized it too, because I heard a low growl escape his lips and his eyes become dark with animal instinct. Before I could say anything, he took off to where Gray, Juvia, and Cana was, with an aurora of ready to kill floating around him. Without thinking, I took off after him, hoping to help shield Gray from the possibility of being murdered tonight.
"Juvia it's seriously not what you think!"
"Then what is it, I thought you liked Juvia?"
"I-I…"
"What is it Gray, do you not like Juvia?" Gajeel practically growled out, earning a jump from the Vampire. I would be surprised to see a Zombie growling at me too, waiting on the right comment to cause him to attack.
"It's not that I like her or not like her it's that-"
"I suggest you choose your words carefully Gray."
"Hey! Why am I the one in trouble here, I didn't do anything!"
"You are in trouble if you don't tell Juvia how you feel about her."
"I don't see how this is any of your business."
"What the fuck you just say to me?" Gajeel said closing the distance between him and Gray, grapping him by his shirt. I don't know how but the air around them are getting thicker and thicker.
Wrapping my small hands around Gajeel's left arm, I tried pulling him away before this conversation progress to violence.
"Gajeel! Just calm down." I said tugging on his arm, trying to get his attention, but he just ignored me, like I was a fly that just decided to land on his shoulder.
"Answer her now." He growled again.
"Gajeey, its ok, Juvia can accept rejection." Juvia said with sad eyes as her shoulders slumped with sadness. That action didn't help Gray's case, it only made it worse.
Gajeel's gripped tighter at his shirt, making him choke a little, and the big man continue to growl.
I need to get him out of here and away from these two before things get really bad. I tugged on his arm as hard as I could, trying to get his attention away from Gray. This was getting me nowhere. I have to think of something, and quick.
Lucy uses her sex appeal sometimes, but that's different, I don't have any. Doesn't hurt to try, I'm in a dire situation, and drastic times cause for drastic measures.
Tugging on his steel arm those few times made me weak, so I hugged his arm and whispered his name in defeat, thinking this was another useless tactic.
I felt his body go rigid, then his grip slowly ease up on Gray's shirt. "Can we go, please?" I asked in the sweetest voice I could manage. He didn't look back at me, but he did release Gray, but not without letting out a frustrated sigh.
Before I knew it, he took a hold of my hand, dragging me out of the Gym with ferocious speed, leaving everyone in the gym in curiosity as to what just happened.
