Levy laid out on her bed and sighed. She threw a pillow over her face and began drifting off into sleep when she heard a knock at her door. She growled to herself and got up slowly. She opened the door feeling like she was going to fall into whoever was at the door. It was probably just Lucy but when she looked up Gajeel was standing there. Her heart skipped a beat and she jumped and fell backwards. He grabbed her arms and kept her from falling.

"You okay, shrimp?" he asked helping her gain her balance.

She smiled shyly and was slightly embarrassed trying to hide the blush on her face, "I-I'm fine." she said. She smiled at him and she noticed something change in his eyes for a moment. There was a hint of something other than the original reason he came over. "Gajeel?" he looked distant.

"Sorry." he scratched his head and handed her a bag, "Natsu dropped this off at my place on his way out of town. He said to bring it here." Gajeel crossed his arms in front of his chest feeling silly. He had acted annoyed with Natsu and Lucy for dropping it off at his place to give to Levy, but he was more than happy to take it to her if it meant he could see her for a few moments.

"Th-thanks." she pulled a note out of the bag, "It's from Lucy." she said. She smiled. "Is this it?" she looked up at him again.

Gajeel looked around and went to turn around when Pantherlily stopped him, "No." Lily said coming around Gajeel and smiling at Levy. "Can we come in?"

Levy looked between the two and nodded moving aside so they could come inside. "Just take a seat on the couch, I'm going to go see if this fits." Levy said closing the door behind the two. She walked to the bathroom.

Gajeel was relaxing on Levy's couch when she came out of the bathroom. Levy couldn't help but notice that Lily was nowhere to be seen. She looked around a bit more before she noticed Gajeel staring at her. "What do you think?" she asked him spinning in a little circle to show him the dress Lucy had gotten her for the party.

Gajeel got up and looked away, "Looks great, shorty." he said. "I feel something is missing."

"What?" she looked at him as he looked around. He grabbed a small crown off her dresser and placed it on her head. He smiled and she looked in the mirror as Gajeel made his way to the door. He pulled it open and was closing it when Levy turned around to talk to him. She frowned hearing the door close and quickly took the dress off and dressed in pajamas then threw herself on her bed and fell asleep. The crown was still in her blue hair.

Lily was cooking something on the stove when Gajeel slammed the door, "Why did you do that?" he asked quickly. "I-I almost slipped up and said something I shouldn't have." he glared at the exceed.

Lily hopped down from the stove with a plate of food and set it on the table and sat in front of it, "I hoped you would have. I can't stand watching you look at her that way. She is going to notice eventually." he began eating.

Gajeel walked to his room and laid in his bed. He put his arms behind his head trying not to think of Levy. He couldn't tell her that he loved the dress she had put on and he couldn't tell her the way he felt about her. He was worried it wasn't the way she felt. Gajeel soon fell asleep with her on his mind.

Levy woke up in the morning to someone banging on her front door. She sleepily walked over to it and opened it peeking out at the person there. The sun felt like it would blind her.

"Levy!" Lucy exclaimed with a huge smiled on her face.

"Lu," she yawned and opened the door letting her friend in. "I thought you would be back later." she closed the door.

"Levy, it's three in the afternoon." she looked at her friend. "Did you get the dress?" she smiled.

Levy rubbed her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair feeling the crown on her head. She took it off and smiled remembering Gajeel put it there. "Yeah." she said walking into the kitchen. She got some water. "Did you have a plan for it? All you said was it was part of the costume."

"I was hoping you would find something to do with it." Lucy sat on her sofa and Levy sat beside her placing her cup on the table in front of them.

"Oh, alright." Levy stretched and looked at the friend.

A few hours passed before Natsu came knocking at the door looking for Lucy. Lucy left on another job that she would be gone on until the party. Levy smiled and said good-bye to her friend. She sighed and locked the door. The weekend was not something Levy was looking forward to. She was nervous but Lucy had told her to be herself, which was what she planned on doing. She just had to make it there.
