After our kissing session, Gajeel had got up to go take a shower, which was good saying he smelt really bad... And me being the snoopy person I am, I had decided to look around this mans room. I had never been here before and I had to get to know my surroundings somehow. Right? I walked over to the dresser looking on the top of it. There we're these cute iron knicknacks that were sitting there. One looked to had been a cat at some point, it had been rusted down very badly... I looked over to the left of it to see a ring to big for my fingers... But a little to big for Gajeels as well I thought to myself, could it be his dad's or something? I picked it up slowly and carefully, being sure to not break it as I slip it on to my right ring finger. It dangled there loosely, as I looked closer seeing the imprint of what looked to be a dragon, good lord does he have huge fingers, and hands to for that matter, and biceps....and chest...muscles... I shake my head quickly coming out of my day dream as I put the ring back in its rightful place on top of the dresser. I looked back away from the ring, sitting behind the small cat figure was a small stand that was holding a beautifully crafted necklace. I picked it up slowly and carefully looking at it, it had a nice flower crafted out of iron, the pedals had a red tint to them, as if they were purposely rusted. The middle had a small M, it was beautifully engraved into it. I suddenly feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist, pulling me into a strong form.

"Gajeel..." I say smiling.

"Whatcha looking at shrimp?" He asks, burying his face into my neck causing me to tilt my head.

"All the pretty things you have." I giggle picking up the ring and showing it to him.

I feel his smile go to a frown, "that's my dads...." He says coldly, growling a little into my neck.

"What's so wrong with your dad?" I ask, still concentrating on the ring.

"Everything... He's me and worse... We don't get along cause I'm as stubborn as an ass. And he's as stubborn as 1000 asses... He kicks the shit out of anything he could and that's the same for me... The only good thing about that ring was the woman who made it..." He squeezes me tighter pulling his head out of my neck and I gulp.

"Who made it?" I look up at him.

"My mom" I see his face light up a little.

"What is your mom like!?" I jump excitedly looking at him.

He smiles at me "My mom was more than greatful for everyday life gave her.... Despite the way I am, I have a little of my mom in me... She was caring and always made me and my father sit at the table with her at dinner, even if I was still pissed at him. She could make my dad smirk and smile and she could make me laugh my ass off. She was the one who taught me how to cook so good, I spent a lot of time with my mom mainly because dad was a prick." He laughs looking down and smiling a little.

I look at him smiling "Is she doing good?" I ask.

"There isn't really much that can hurt you when your 6ft under the ground right..." He looks down, grabbing my hands gently and pulling them to his face.

My face goes completely pale, "G-Gajeel I-I'm so sorry!" I start to shiver.

"Shhh," he lifts his hand to the side of my face and pulls his head to my forehead as I blush. "She would love you so much, Levy...." I see his frown go to a smile. "She was a wonderful women... You and her are a lot alike you know... I think that's why I grew to like you so quickly." I look at his cheeks to see tears rolling down to his chin. "Your fixing me very slowly, shrimp... And I promise... I won't let anything break you down..."

As tears roll down my face I close my eyes and nods slowly, "I-I love you Gajeel."

"I love you too, Levy...."
