Levy's POV

The last thing I remember was being rocked to sleep with my head being petted. I woke up and I had two toned arms around me. I tried to move the one over me, but the dead weight was too heavy. I looked up at the clock, it read 8:30. I started to panic thinking I was gonna be late for school, until I realized it was a Saturday. I wiggle out the grip of the arms and look to see a sleeping Gajeel. He was drooling and snoring softly.
He looks so cute. Wait, what? Okay, Levy, think about this. Do you like this guy? I think so. What do you like about this guy? He actually cares, and he's trying hard for you. Well, there is the physical attractiveness of it too.
I guess I was zoning out staring at him because he opened his eyes, and looked at me.

"You okay, shrimp?" He asked me, snapping me out of my thought.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine, just zoning out." I say back.
"Okay, well, are you hungry?" He asked, probably trying to change that subject.

"I could eat," I answered. I actually wasn't that hungry, I was trying to forget everything that happened.
"Alright, give me a minute to wake up a bit more and then I'll make bacon, scrambled eggs, and waffles, or pancakes?" He asked.

"Whatever you want to make," I didn't like making things about me.

"Waffles it is, then," he said smiling. He laid there for another 10 minutes then he got up. Once he walked out the door, I laid back down and wrapped myself in the sheets and a comforter. I don't feel like doing anything. I wanna be alone, but I don't wanna be alone.

I just laid there in the noise of my mind until Gajeel came back with a small tray full of food and a cup of orange juice, milk, and water. I sat up as he brought the tray to me and put it over my lap.

"You don't have to-"

"I know I don't have to, I want to," he interrupted me, "I don't think you should go home this weekend. I don't trust him."

"What about Lucy, she's gonna wonder where I am and why I'm not coming home." I said trying not to tear up.

"Just tell her what happened and that you're safe." He said back.

"Can you tell her? I don't wanna relive it again," I explain.

"Of course, just need her number," he says to me. I give him Lucy's number and he messages her.

Gajeel puts his phone in his pocket and starts walking out of the room.

Is he leaving you? Please don't leave.

"Where are you going?" I asked with a mouth full of food. I guess I was more hungry than I thought.

"Just going to get my plate, be back in a sec," he walked out of the room. 

I hope he doesn't think you're clingy.

He came back and sat next to me.

"You wanna watch t.v. or Netflix?" he asked me.

"Have you heard of Arrow?" I asked him back.
"Yes, I've been wanting to watch it recently,"

"Put it on!" I yelled. I get too excited when I show people things I like. He grabs a remote, turns the t.v. on and then puts Arrow on Netflix.

"I've watched a few episodes, but start from the beginning," I say. I think I got through two and a half episodes before I fell asleep.

Gajeel's POV

I wake up to shrimp staring at me.
"You okay, shrimp?" She looked zoned out.
''Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine, just zoned out." She snapped out of her trance.
"Okay, well, are you hungry?" I wanted to change the subject in case she was thinking of last night.
''I could eat," she says.
"Alright, give me a minute to wake up a bit more and the I'll make bacon, scrambled eggs, and waffles or pancakes?" I asked.
"Whatever you want to make," she says.
"Waffles it is then," I say. I think I make really good waffles and they might cheer her up. I laid in bed for about 10 minutes and then got up to start cooking.
