GAJEEL'S P.O.V.
The darkness won't leave me. It surrounds me. Maybe I did die, and God's still deciding if he'll take me or not. I was an asshole my entire life, but he might be thinking of taking mercy on me. Whatever the case is, I just really want answers. This darkness must go. It's haunting.
What's even worse is that every second I spend in whatever the hell this is, is another second I'm gone from Levy. I need to get back to her, whatever reason that may be. I feel a bit of a liability to protect her, it's weird.
My entire time in this, what ever you want to call it, my mind has wandered nowhere else but her. The Shrimp's wavy locks, her bright orange dress, her tiny frame. But even better, is the way she laughs, or her reactions while reading a book, but best of all, the way she looks at me. Nobody's ever looked at me that way before. Hell, barely anyone really looks at me at all.
Shit, now that I think about it, it's kinda like what Juvia used to talk about. She used to say mushy crap like this about that ice stripper. Well, by used to, she still does I'm sure, I just don't have to listen to it anymore.
The Shrimp. I wonder if she doesn't mind that I'm not there. Or maybe she's bawling her eyes out with every passing second. Ugh, I almost wish for the first option, if it means Shrimp's not upset. Almost.
But the problem is, looking back at all of my recent behavior, it's hard to deny that I don't hate the Shrimp. I'd even say I like her. Yet, whenever I tell myself that, the thought of us being friends just isn't enough. I need her to be mine. My Shrimp. My Levy. My girlfriend. My everything.
That's settled then. I've got to get out of here, and more specifically I've got to go confess to Shrimp. Because I've figured it out, no mind games anymore. I love Shrimp. She's mine. I need her. I'm going to tell her.
LEVY'S P.O.V.
It's been a month since Gajeel got stung by those poison darts. For the most part, I haven't left his side. I know why though. I fell for the fool. Well, perhaps it should be me who's the fool. I know he won't feel the same way, but I still want to tell him when he wakes up.
Lucy and Luna have gone on jobs for me, and I'm going to have to go on a ton of jobs to pay them back. They said it's no trouble, but I still feel bad...
In this month, not too much has changed. Natsu, Erza, Juvia and Gray never found Takara. Which sucks, because that means she's still out there somewhere. However, the rest of Venomdawn has agreed to let Luna go, which means she's safe to join without a battle. Luna got the same mark as mine, but the opposite shoulder blade.
Oh, Jellal joined too. He smoothed everything over with the Magic Council somehow. Anyway, he's been here a couple days, but Erza and him are already dating. Crazy, right? Gray took Juvia out once or twice, though I never heard any official news. And Natsu, well, he's as clueless as ever.
With all the love in the air, it just makes me even more anxious about Gajeel's awakening. I'm excited, I can tell him everything, but what if he doesn't feel the same? I'd just about die from embarrassment.
Today I'm taking a break from sticking with Gajeel. Lucy's forcing me to stay outside and get some sun. I can't blame her, I have gotten pretty pale for the middle of summer. So I picked up some magic books from the library and decided to crack open a few. Who knows, maybe something will pop up that'll help me with curing Gajeel.
~TIMESKIP LE HOUR~
Even with my wind-speed glasses, I'm still not quite done with my books. There's 3 left. I just finished up my current one when Lucy and Luna dropped by. "Hey Levy-chan! How's the research going?" Lucy asked, sitting on my right. My twin sister sat on my left, holding up a book to observe it.
