A/N: I tried my best with this part. Hope it's not too confusing.
And the chaos begin .~
Panic???
Fifteen minutes later, the two of them met at the back alley behind the guild hall, eyes wide, hair disheveled, panic rolling off them in waves.
"You—"
"I'm—"
"This is—"
"Explain!"
Freed (in Levy's body) grabbed her which is himself by the shoulders.
"This has to be a delayed magical backlash. Some residual charm from the book..."
"You think?!" Levy (in Freed's body) flailed, nearly knocking over a crate.
"We read a cursed love book out loud! What did you think would happen? Flowers and chocolate?!"
Freed blinked. "That would have been preferable."
"This is not preferable!"
They both stopped, breathing heavily.
"…Okay," Freed muttered after a beat. "Let's not panic."
Levy gave him a deadpan look. "We've swapped bodies, Freed. The panic is mandatory."
"I'm going to fix this."
Levy folded her arms. "You don't even know how it happened!"
"I'll figure it out." He straightened Levy's posture with a sharp inhale. "But first, we act normal. We avoid suspicion. No one can know."
"Too late," Levy muttered. "Gajeel saw me through the window and thinks I'm stealing muffins."
She did try to enter Fairy Hills with Freed body.
"…urghh." they both sighed.
