{So much adorable fluff. It may seem a bit ooc, but its supposed to be cute. That is all.}

Levy hummed to herself as she happily skipped to Gajeels house. It had been a long week, and he had suggested a simple movie night over at his place. Levy was more than excited to spend time with him, and had nearly ran out of Fairy Hills. His house came in to view, and she found herself picking up her pace again, her grin beginning to make her face sore. She lightly knocked on his door, and it almost immediately opened, revealing Lily. "Afternoon Levy," he said with a smile. Levy grinned, "Hi Lily! Where are you going?" She asked as she stepped aside. "Shagot has invited me to the Exceed village, and I thought I'd give you and Gajeel some alone time." Levy smiled brightly. "That's sweet of you. Have fun ok?" Lily nodded before flying off, and Levy finally entered the house.

Levy couldn't help but smile as she inhaled deeply, taking in the delicious smell of Gajeel cooking lunch. After discarding her shoes by the door, she peeked her head into the kitchen just as Gajeel turned off the stove. His hair was pulled back into a messy pony tail, and he wore simple sweatpants and dark purple tank top. She knew he could hear and smell her, but she tried to sneak up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Gihi, hey shrimp," he said with an easy grin. Levy simply hummed as she rested her face against his back, content. Gajeel chuckled, "Are we going to have lunch or what?" Levy was about to make a smart remark about how she was fine where she was, when her stomach growled. She sighed before finally releasing him and stepping back so he could take the food to the coffee table by the couch.

After setting the plates down Gajeel turned and finally pulled Levy to him, trapping her in his arms. They smiled at each other before Levy stretched up on her tip toes to plant a soft kiss on his lips. After returning it, Gajeel grinned. "Ready for a lazy day?" Levy nodded before the pair simply flopped on the couch. Gajeel grabbed the remote to his lacrima tv as Levy dug into her lunch, holding back a pleased groan. She would never get enough of his cooking, "What are we watching?" she mumbled around a mouth full of food. Gajeel grinned as he pressed play, "A personal favorite, Avatar." Levy giggled, "I love this movie!" They grinned at each other before returning to their food.

Once they were finished, Levy curled into his side, his arm draped over her shoulders. A thought occurred to Levy as they watched their movie, and she wasn't sure how she had never thought about it before. She looked up at Gajeel, resting her chin on his chest until he looked down at her. "I just thought of something," she told him, in which he grunted in response. "You said this was one of your personal favorites right?" Again, a grunt. "Well, I just realized that's the only personal thing I know about you." She pouted slightly, genuinely sad. "We don't know anything about each other."

Gajeel blinked, as it just occurred to him as well. They had been together for nearly two months now, though it seemed like no time at all with the holidays and the S-class exams taking up all of their time. Hell, it was nearly valentines day and they had only had one date since they got together on Christmas. Gajeel leaned back, pulling Levy with him as he got comfortable. "Lets talk then," he suddenly said, and Levy blinked. "Really?" she asked hopefully. Gajeel nodded, "What better way to spend the day?" he said with a grin. Levy smiled brightly before hugging him tightly. Gajeel chuckled, "So where to start?" He asked, the movie now nothing more than background noise. Levy hummed thoughtfully, "Well lets start with movies, what are some others you like?"

"Well, Jurassic Park is a classic and so is The Mummy. The third one though, I think was a bit much," he said with a slight grimace. Levy giggled, and that was how their day had gone. From Gajeels taste in movies, to Levys hatred of any insect with more than six legs, and Gajeels discomfort of snakes. "I'm not afraid of them!" he nearly shouted as Levy burst into peels of laughter. "They have no arms! They just freak me out!" Gajeel glared at the other side of the room as Levys laughter finally died down and she hugged him. "Oh come on Gajeel, it's funny!" She buried her face in his chest as she began to laugh again, but took deep calming breath to relax. "Mmm Gajeel, what cologne do you wear?" She suddenly asked, taking another sniff. "It smells really good!" She looked up at him, and couldn't believe what she saw.

Gajeels face was bright pink, and the tips of his ears were dark red. "Are you blushing?!" She gasped, and he tried to look away. "You are!" she began giggling again. After a moment Gajeel tried to compose himself, clearing his throat. "Er, I heard you and bunny girl talking one day, talking about how much you liked that Magnolia brand stuff and I uh... I went and bought some." His face could put Erzas hair to shame as Levy stared at him for a moment before grinning. "You are such an adorable dork!" She suddenly gasped, "Adorkable!" She laughed at her own joke, hugging Gajeel as he tried to hide his burning face, "I'm not adorable, or adorkable," he grumbled angrily, though not really.

"Oh yes you are Gajeel!" She giggled as she poked his cheek. He was practically pouting, "If anyone in this house is adorable it's you," he muttered. Levy blushed, and Gajeel took the opportunity to pin her to the couch, causing her to squeak. "See, adorable," he said with a shit eating grin. Levy pouted and tried to wiggle free, but Gajeels grip was firm. She froze as Gajeel grinned like the devil, readjusting his grip so he held both of her hands in one of his. Now with one free hand, he began attacking her sides.

Levy couldn't stop the laughter that burst forth, writhing beneath him as he continued the torture. "Noo! Gajeel!" she shrieked with laughter, tears pricking her eyes as she struggled. In reflex, her knee jerked up, nailing him in the gut. Gajeel gasped, silently thanking that she had missed his crotch before rolling on to the floor. Levy caught her breath and wiped her eyes before rolling onto her side to look down at Gajeel. "Jerk," she said, slightly breathless. Gajeel simply shrugged before grinning up at her. "You love me though." Levy smiled softly at that, letting her hand dangle down to tangle with his. "Yeah, yeah I do."

Later that night, when Lily returned home, he couldn't help but smile at what he saw. Gajeel was laid out on the couch, he was a bit too large for the couch, so his legs were dangling slightly. Curled up on his chest was Levy, his arm wrapped loosely around her as they both slept soundly. The exceed quietly retrieve the comforter from Gajeels bed, laying it over the pair before going to bed himself.

{Like I said, a bit ooc, but it's adorkable damn it! So, it wont happen for a few more chapters(I dunno, depends on how I feel) but I'm putting a vote to you guys. To lemon, or not to lemon. Yes or no. If no, it will just fade to black in a safe pg 13 way. You guys decide!}
