Gajeel~
I walked with the shrimp, and listened to her tell me about what she did with Lucy.
I just couldn't focus, ome minute I'm swearing that I'm strong, and next thing you know I'm crying like a baby in front of shrimp.
I walking with her while I silently swore on my honor that she would never see me weak again.
So with a smirk plastered to my face, I talked with her.
"-tried to get a discount by pulling down her shirt, but he didn't knock it down at all" she laughed, hiding her mouth with her hand as she did so. I smirked and she stopped in front of her place and unlocked the door and I stepped inside and looked around.
It was clean, but messy at the same time. Looked like you could eat off the floor, but there were books, maps, papers, magazines, and wanted posters scattered about the entire place.
"Umm.. shrimp?" I looked at her and she pushed aside some books on the table and smiles.
"Sorry about that, I don't have any bookshelves and I don't know where to put them" a nervous blush was on her face.
"Hey, since I owe you one how about I build you a library?" I asked lazily while I looked around.
No response.
"shrimp?" I looked at her and her eyes were tearing up. Shit what did I do? I held my hands up in defense "if you don't want it just say so!"
"That's the nicest thing anyone's done for me" she grinned ear to ear, tears running down her cheeks and I blushed.
"I..it's not a problem" I looked around "got an empty room?"
"Just my basement, but it's full of garbage from the landlord" she smiled and I walked towards the stairs.
"Show me" I stated and she followed me and smiled.
"Okay dork" she flipped on a light switch as we entered the basement. The light was dim and was flickering, and as far as I could see garbage and useless junk was stacked on top of each other.
I looked at her and smiled "we have to buy some supplies but I'll get this stuff sorted through."
"supplies like what?"she smiled and stood next to me, unaware the hem of her skirt was still wet drawing attention to her...
"Paint"I blurted out and blushed "and new light bulbs" thank God it was dim in here.
"Allright, but I have some windows down here" she smiled and I looked down at her.
"Go upstairs and decide on a paint colour, I'll start cleaning this shit and then we will go pick out some light fixtures and bookshelves."
"Thank you so much gajeel" she smiled big and hugged me. A blush grew on my cheeks as I hugged her back.
"Go on shrimp"I ruffled her hair and laughed as she pouted and went upstairs muttering words of revenge.
Levy~
I stretched, trying to think of a shade of colour that would best benefit me. It might not matter to a lot of people, but you have to choose a relaxing colour. Blue, that sounds good.
I hear the sound of boxes getting tossed and papers spilling as I looked in the refrigerator.
My air conditioning wasn't working well in the basement, I never really minded because I never went down there but I guess now I should call someone to look at it.
I muttered to myself as I grabbed an ice cold pepsi, gajeels favourite, and walks to the basement.
"Heads up" I called out as I tossed the soda and he caught it with one hand and popped it open.
"Thanks shrimp" he smiled as he took a sip "go upstairs now"
I rolled my eyes, even in my house he told me what to do.
I walked back upstairs and sat on my sofa. While grabbing a book, I slipped a headphone into my ear and Sam Tsui started playing.
I began to read, and time slipped away from me. I was probably listening to she will be loved by maroon 5 for the seventh time when gajeel walked into the kitchen and grabbed another pepsi. I guess he thought I had left coz he was singing softly to himself.
I looked at him, his back to me and he suddenly turned around to face me. Our eyes locked and I blushed slightly as he smiled.
"Hey shrimp"he smiled at me.
"hey, need any help?" I smiled and he shook his head.
"No dork, you keep reading"he walks back downstairs. I sit on my feet and put the book in my lap.
Just as I was beginning to read, but my phone went off. I answered it.
"Levy I can't find gajeel" I hear pantherlilly, his voice panicky.
"It's okay lilly"I smile to myself "he is at my apartment, come over okay?"
"Did you two finally hook up?" I almost heard him grin.
"Wh..what?" I blushed "no he's just helping me"
"Suuuure" he giggled, his voice thick with sarcasm "I'll just come by for a quick visit"
"F..fine" I continued my blush and he hung up.
Not even ten minutes later, there was a soft knock at the door. It was almost drowned out by the loud rock music coming from the basement.
"Levy?"I heard lilly shout and I opened the door. He smiled at me and walked inside.
"Where is he? Is he in your bed?"he ran to my room and looked around and I blushed.
"He's downstairs dork" he smiled and walked to the door and pulled it open and hopped down the stairs.
"Gajeel?" He called out, completely drowned out by the music.
With a small sigh he returned up the stairs and closed the door.
"Can I tell you something?" He asked, sitting on my sofa.
"Go ahead"I sit next to him and put him on my lap and his dark eyes looked into mine.
"I think gajeel likes someone" he looked at me. I felt something heavy in my chest but forced a smile.
"What do you mean lilly?"
"He keeps talking about a girl, but he won't tell me her name" he sighs and looks at me.
"What are you talking about dorks?" Gajeel asked, stepping in the living room.
