Gajeel x Levy

'Gajeel Redfox. Iron Dragon Slayer. Insane. But in a cut-'. Levy Mcgarden began to erase her journal entry furiously as she blushed like a red tomato. 'Why do I find myself erasing my feelings after I try to figure out exactly how I feel?' Levy thought to herself. "IM SO BORED!" Gajeel hollered loud enough to make Levy cringe. "Gajeel.." Levy quietly complained. "Keep it down, I have a headache!" She whimpered. "Tch." Gajeel said as he rested his forearm on Levy's head. Levy pouted but she smiled a little. "Now I remember." She whispered as she smiled softly. "Hm? Remember what?" Gajeel asked the small bookworm. "Nothing." She replied as she furiously scribbled into her notebook, blushing and smiling. "Whatever." He said and rolled his eyes. 'I don't really know how I'm going to express my feelings..but I have to do something to let him know!' Levy thought. The cute girl then gasped. "I've got it!" She exclaimed. "Gajeel!" Levy exclaimed as she turned to the buff dragon slayer. "Hm? What?" He asked clearly agitated. "O-oh.." She said disappointed to find he wasn't in the mood for what she had to say. "Nevermind. It's..not important." Levy said. "I'm not really important, really." She whispered. Levy lifted her magic book to her nose and began reading to distract Gajeel from noticing her fallen face. 'I guess today isn't the day.' She thought. 'Just play it cool. Act neutral.' Levy self discussed. "You're acting weird." Gajeel remarked as he looked at Levy's book covered face. "you only hold your books that high up, only when you're upset." Gajeel said. Levy didn't respond. "Why are you so up tight?" Gajeel asked as he squatted next to her face. "I'm distressed. That's all." Levy said clearly bluffing. "Nah." Gajeel rejected. "if you don't want to tell me, that's fine." He got up and walked off. Levy pulled her book down to open her journal. 'I love him. I figured it out. I did it. I finally solved my emotions.' She wrote as her face remained still and blank.

Levy's POV:

It's been a week since I solved my emotional puzzle. I know a way to express myself but I just can't do it. I don't have that kind of confidence. I can only hope that somebody else figures out that today- "Everybody! It's National Pocky Day!" Lucy exclaimed excitedly. "I brought Pocky!" She shouted as she twirled. "Now everybody, it's only fitting that we all play..The Pocky Game!" Lucy hollered with delight. "Okay!" Some people agreed. I blushed harshly. It was my idea to play the game with Gajeel. I don't think I'll have the confidence to ask him. I'll just have to hope that he asks me if somebody fixes us up. "I'll match you guys up if you don't participate!" Lucy threatened some people. I buried my face deeper in my book. I was blushing so hard I was shocked I didn't burn a hole through my book. "The Pocky game? What's that?" Gajeel asked me with his forearm on my head. "It's..where..um.." I tried explaining. My face was so red and I was sweating so hard. "It's where two people put a stick of Pocky in between their mouths and eat down to the middle, whoever gets the most Pocky, wins!" Lucy exclaimed. I couldn't help but look up to see Gajeel looking down at me with a small smirk fixated on his mouth. "Eh?" I said in utter surprise. "Wanna play?" Gajeel asked as he held out a box of our favorite Pocky. We both agreed long ago that our favorite Pocky was the Strawberry Pocky. "S-s-sure..why not?" I answered with my face burning brightly. I nervously took the box and looked back up at him to see he had a stick already in his mouth. He motioned for me to bite the other end. I was scrunching my face up in pure anxiety and embarrassment. "You're nervous aren't you?" Gajeel said teasing me. I rolled my eyes and bit the other end. I closed my eyes as I chewed on the delicious snack. I awaited Gajeel's lips to meet mine. Once they did his tongue shout out and stole the Pocky in my mouth. He pressed his lips against mine for a few seconds but then he pulled apart. "I win!~" Gajeel said teasing me. I was blushing so hard. I buried my head in my knees. "No need to be so embarrassed, geez it's just a game, nothing more than that!" At that moment, my heart broke. 'It's just a game, nothing more than that!' He didn't take anything more than just a game? My face grew calm and I looked at him. "Yeah." I said concealing the hurt that was tearing at my chest. "Hm?" Gajeel questioned. "Just..a game.." I whispered.

Gajeel's POV:

I don't get why Levy was so embarrassed after playing that game. Sure it was like a setup kiss game, but I don't think Levy feels that way about it. I mean, I'd love to play it again. Presumably with Levy. She's quite an oddball

Levy's POV:

It's been a while since I played the Pocky game with Gajeel. Ever since he won't stop talking about how he wants to play it again. "Go play it with Lucy.." I said coldly. I wasn't really into the whole thing. It hurt me to tell him that but good thing he rejected instantly. "Levyyy! Cmon! One more time?" Gajeel asked with a pleading tone. 'I know..I can tell him everything. With this chance.' "Only if you follow me!" I exclaimed and trotted into a dimly lit bedroom, filled with the setting sun's rays. I sat on the bed and Gajeel closed the door. "Now.. Let's play that game.. Without the Pocky.." I said seductively. "W-wha?" Gajeel asked. "I climbed closer too him and put my hand on his cheek. "I've been wanting to say and do this for so long.." I leaned closer. I could feel his hot breath on my nose and cheeks. "Gajeel..I love you." I leaned forward and locked lips with him. He was shocked but I didn't stop. I needed to express my love even if he didn't feel the same way. I kept working my lips on top of his. I felt my broken heart convert itself into tears as my tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn't stop. I needed to do this for myself, for him. I finally pulled back. My tears were still falling, but they were..silent. I felt that he was uncomfortable. "So..about that game.." I said between short breaths. "I doubt you want to play it still, huh?" I said awkwardly. "Screw it.." I said meekly. I scrunched the fabric of my dress and I said airily, "I really love you. I'm sorry for making you experience that. I just needed to let you know how I felt." I remarked with loads of disappointment and hurt. "I-I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed louder. My tears weren't silent now. They were filled with the emotions that overcame me. I quickly got up from the bed and I made my way towards the door. I looked back to see him looking down. He had nothing to say. I closed my eyes and I left, letting my waterworks flow.

Levy's POV:

I've been trying to avoid Gajeel for the past week. But it seems he forgot everything that happened. "Cmon Levy! let's do a job!" He would exclaim manly. "Sure." I would always reply, my voice always be drenched in sorrow and hurt. I decided to move on. He didn't like me. So be it. Get over it. I needed to realize, he wouldn't ever love me. "Cmon!" Gajeel was as bossy as ever. I don't think he noticed my state. I never smiled since then. I never laughed. I never showed any happiness. I only showed my grim side. I only stuck to my cold side.

I sat down, and picked up my journal. 'It's been a whole week filled with this hellish rejection. I am learning what it's like it hate yourself. I'm learning what regrets are. This..is hell.' I wrote as I stared blankly at the words I created. "That's a depressing entry." Gajeel said as he was behind me. I slowly closed my journal. I didn't reply. "Meet me back up there. As soon as you can." He then said. I just continued to look down. "..bring that journal." He added

I approached the door cautiously. I twisted the knob to open the door and I was greeted with a loud hollow squeak. I looked to find Gajeel on the bed, tracing the lines in the sheets. I softly closed the door behind me. I then sat on the bed. "Give me your journal, please." Gajeel asked. I handed it over. Nothing to hide really. "All of these..are about me." He observed. I didn't say anything. "I'm..sorry about last time." Gajeel said quietly. Still, I didn't say anything. "I was to..you know the word..to let you know how I felt." Gajeel said. I was keeping quiet. "I'm so sorry." Gajeel apologized again. "I don't know how to put my feelings into words." He added. "It was the same with me. Until I gave in to my feelings. I wrote them out. Deciphered their meaning. And I ended with the conclusion, that I'm in love with you." I answered blankly. Gajeel was blushing but he obviously didn't know what to say. "Don't over complicate your feelings to sugar coat my rejection. If you don't feel that way about me, so be it. I'll move on. We'll stay the same partners as we've always been. Just..don't over complicate feelings that aren't there. It's what I learned, from loving you." I lectured with only the slightest bit of emotion. "But Levy-" he tried to say until I cut him off with my look of upmost seriousness. "Just reject me." I said with no tone at all. "But I.." He tried to reason, "but I...LOVE YOU TOO!" Gajeel exclaimed. I looked at him. I honestly didn't believe him. "Those feelings. Are not there. I know you don't like me. It's obvious! Don't sugar my rejection." I exclaimed with frustration. "Why don't you believe me?" Gajeel asked with a little hurt in his voice. "Are you..telling me..after all those fights we've been through..those times we had to rely on truth..you won't believe me when I confess my feelings to you?" Gajeel asked with loads of hurt in his voice. "No! I...." It was silent. "kiss me." I said quietly. Gajeel blushed insanely. "I-i don't know how.. " he leaned forward with his words. "To.." His nose was up against mine. He ever so gently matched lips with mine. It started off slow and gentle, that escalated into a deep passionate kiss. Blushes were burning brightly, lips working with power. It was at that moment, he took a courageous step, and asked me for an entrance into my mouth, with his tongue. I graciously accepted. I felt him hum in satisfaction. I was blushing and sweating. I started to lean back on the bed. I ever so slowly, fell onto the bed. He was towering above me. Gajeel then rested his body on top of mine. Rested his hands on my cheeks. I put my hands on his chest. He kept kissing me. And kissing me. It started to escalate. He removed to top and he let me feel his strong body. He kept kissing. I felt so..in love. I rested my hands on his waist. I felt him bring me up higher. He wrapped his hands around my waist and raised me to his chest. We broke the kiss. He sat on the bed, with me in his arms, bridal style. I rested my head in his chest. "It's not that hard.." I whispered meekly. I combed his hair back with my fingers. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Round 2?" Gajeel asked with a smirk. "Just a second." I said. I leaned forward and bit his neck. "Love bites, I see." Gajeel said mischievously. I removed myself mom his neck and winked. "To you from me." I said sassily. Gajeel then bit my exposed shoulder. "Nice selection. Now I can't hide it, I was gracious enough to choose a classic spot." I complained but shut up when I began to hum in satisfaction. He pulled away and we rested on the bed. Gajeel tucked me in his broad arms and held me while we slept.

I woke up to see he was not there. Who knows where he went. "Was it a dream..?" I questioned myself. I put my hand on my shoulder. It was there. I blushed. Loud gasps and laughs were heard in the distance. "What's going on?" I walked outside to see people gathered around Gajeel...LOOKING AT HIS NECK. "DAMMIT GAJEEL!" I hollered from above. "You're fault!" He exclaimed. Everybody was clapping for me. "S-Shut up!" I said as I buried my face in my hands. "Come down and show em mine!" He shouted proudly at me. I made my way down. And reluctantly pointed at my shoulder. "That's a nasty one you got there!" One said. "What can we say? It's Gajeel Redfox and Levy Mcgarden!" I felt so embarrassed. Gajeel pulled me into his arms. "Gihi! It's alright!" He said and I buried myself in his chest. "God, I'm in love with a lunatic!" I exclaimed. He smirked. Wow what a fitting thing to do.
