What Are You Waiting For? {Gajevy}{Fairy Tail}

Fear and Denial

"See you tomorrow." Levy said waving at Mira as she left the guildhall. She closed the door and looked around it was dark, around nine at night. She was exhausted and ready to sleep. The streets of Magnolia were quiet as she walked through them. She began thinking to herself as she walked. As she got closer to the house, she fished her key out of her book bag. She closed it in her fist and put her other hand on her stomach. "We'll be home soon, little one." she whispered feeling the kicking. "Restless, aren't you?" she smiled, "So much like your father. I wish he was here..."

Levy was inches from her door and she didn't realize the broken window until she heard the crunch of glass under her feet. She looked down and sighed then looked up at the window. Her heart picked up pace. Someone broke in, she thought putting the key in the lock. She slipped it back into her bag quickly getting ready to attack anyone that was inside.

"Hello?" she whispered walking into the dark house. She closed the door and shoved her book box in front of it quickly in case it was a trap. "Hello?" she said again flipping on a few lights. She walked into her bedroom and found everything in place, except the boxes with Gajeel's things in them. What were they looking for? She thought as she walked over to it. She looked through the boxes a little then walked back to the front door. She frowned looking at the window then quickly replaced it with a solid script "glass".

Levy locked the front door and made her way to the bathroom and she froze. There was clothes on the floor. Levy was about to investigate them when there was a knock at the door. It scared her and she jumped and almost fell over. The baby kicked and she placed her hand on the her stomach. "We'll go back to guildhall." she whispered slowly walking to the door.

Levy made it to the door and when she peeked out the window, she couldn't see anyone. She slowly unlocked the door and opened it. She froze in place as tears filled her eyes. Her heart raced as she stared at him, "G-Gajeel..." she managed to say. "Y-you're..." she threw herself at him wrapping her arms around him tightly. She cried in his chest as he hugged her tightly. "You're real."

"Of course I am." he whispered in her ear.

Levy looked up at Gajeel, "How?" she asked as he wiped tears from her eyes. "They said you were dead."

Gajeel shook his head, "I lost a lot of blood and nearly died." he looked up at the sky.

"Come inside." she pulled him inside. She felt selfish but she wanted to hear his story before anyone else. She needed to know every last detail.

Gajeel relaxed on the couch as Levy sat on the other end staring at him. "What?" he asked sitting up straight.

"I just can't believe you're real." she whispered. "With all the nightmares and sleepless nights I've had since you've been gone..."

Gajeel frowned. "You seemed to have gotten over me fast. You let someone else be with you." he pointed at her stomach.

Levy smiled and held back a laugh. "You're such an idiot." she looked down at her stomach, "I would never dream of being with someone else and having their child." she rubbed her stomach and looked up at him, "This one is yours."

He stared at her and blinked a few times, "M-mine?!" he got closer to her and looked into her eyes, "How far along are you?"

She smiled, "About seven months." she replied. "Remember when I was really sick?"

Gajeel nodded piecing it together. "I had feared you got over the love we shared." he pulled her into his arms and cuddled her.

"It was you who was following me this morning!" she glared at him, "Why'd you wait?"

"I ran into someone when you almost caught me and she made realize I was a mess. That's why the window was broken when you got here and why my things were messed with." he sighed. He smiled, "Gihihi." he kissed her forehead. Levy closed her eyes.

When Levy opened her eyes she was laying on the couch hugging a pillow for dear life, "Gajeel?" she said quietly. There was no reply. The house was quiet, and that's when she realized it was a dream. She began crying, burying her face in the pillows. "How long will I wait for the heartache to disappear?"
