Her dark saviour (Gajevy)

30. Confessions

Levy's P.O.V.

Lucy had invited her and their other female friends into her apartment, just to chat and going out to dinner later in the evening. Erza wanted to go shopping too. All in all, it seemed like a fun afternoon was waiting for her. An eventful one she hasn't had in over a month.

"You two didn't have a single day for yourselves, without me being there needing help. Please go and enjoy yourself or have a fun night with Lily, you don't have to worry about me all the time! I know this mission was a total failure, but I'll show you that I'm able to be on my own without getting into any kind of trouble.
I would like you to take a day off from me and have fun with Lily. I'll just stay at Lucy's place, then we'll go shopping and to the new restaurant on the river, I'll be back before midnight."

Still no reaction. He had stood behind the kitchen counter, his arms crossed in front of his body, looking furiously at her. She had known that he wouldn't like the idea of her being without him while still having the injury.
Levy sighed and walked up to him. Only two steps away, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and mimicked his look.

"It's just dinner. I'll go, no matter if you like it or not. And in a few days, I'm able to accompany you to new missions too!"

Obviously, he didn't like her statement, whether her plans going out with her friends, without Gajeel being there to help her or even taking on new missions after the last one had gone so horribly wrong. His piercing gaze didn't leave her eyes, but she wouldn't back down, no matter how hard he tried to. They stared at each other for a long time, but both knew how this would end. Gajeel had no say in this matter. Today, she'd go out with her friends. And in a few days, she'd fulfil requests once again, with or without him by her side. Of course, his company would make her feel more secure. More at home. And maybe, just maybe ...

... she would eventually be able to seduce him far, far away from their friends and her brother.

She loved this man. No matter how much time had passed by denying that fact, she loved him. With everything she had, with everything she was. Every touch, every move, every look, friendly or furious, sent shivers down her spine and a warmth began to spread out in her body. This warmth, better-considered heat, had reached her special spot in-between her legs too often by now. She was craving for his body on top of hers, fulfilling her and making her scream, with his name on her lips.

Why should she deny it? Even though she hadn't talked to anyone about this matter, her mind and body were confirming her love for this big, muscular, handsome, strong ... utterly and completely perfect man. The heat she felt every time he came close to her was just a natural reaction of her body, wishing for her fantasies to come true.

The time of her being unable to do anything, due to that stupid, useless broken leg had given her enough time to imagine what could be. He could like her back, even love her. He could start touching her, not only with his hands in a friendly matter but with his lips, his tongue and other, more intimate body parts located on his lower area of his delicious body.

She didn't know how her friends would react to an open, honest confession. Most of them knew about her interest already, just like everyone knew about Lucy and Natsu. Or Erza and Jellal. Or Juvia and Grey. Or ... she could continue this list with at least three or four more couples who just needed a vigorous shove in the right direction. But no one ever mentioned it during their conversations.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, she caught herself grabbing his wrist and pulling his hand downwards. She stopped every time, just placing it on her hip so he wouldn't be completely disgusted by her. This uncontrollable need hadn't come out of anywhere. Since she had developed romantic feelings towards this man, her body had reacted by creating ... well, making her wet. It had happened a few times in the cave, then in the town, but it had never been as bad as now. Maybe, her open mind and honest confession about her feelings for the dragon intensified her reactions. No matter what it was, it needed to stop. Either by forcing her body to stop reacting that way or by having her man satisfying her.

The second opinion was obviously the preferred one.
Before she had met him, already over six months ago, she had never imagined being so content and honest with herself. She had never been the prettiest or most beautiful one. She was thin and small, everything she had was small. But when Gajeel befriended her, when he talked to her and told her how beautiful she was, she felt like special. How the others looked at her mattered less and less. In his eyes, she felt like the grown woman she was. And as a woman, she wanted to be loved by him, in any way possible.

During the first two weeks of her injury, he wouldn't leave her side for a second. Every distance she needed to cross, if it was a walk to the kitchen or the toilette, he would carry her, and later walk with her. No suggestion would make him leave her, not for a minute. Most of the time, Lily went on missions to support their household. Levy also contributed by translating a lot of books during this time. After the two weeks, she sent Gajeel out to finish missions too. He had missed his adventures with Lily, and Levy needed some time on her own too. Being persistent on that matter, he went away one day, a mission paper in his hands. But not before asking her a hundred times if everything was fine.
He and Lily came back home in the evening, bruises on their arms and a big grin on Gajeel's lips. He had been joyful to leave this house and at first, she felt sad seeing him ecstatic after leaving her. But after some time, the grin appeared on her lips too. They told her what had happened, about the fight and the talk to the guards. While they talked about their adventures, Gajeel grew more and more silent. He had only told her what had clouded his mind when they laid in bed, each person on their side.

"We need to practice more often. You need to be on your own feet as fast as possible. I'm not having fun while you're lying in this bed."

His words had been so sweet, so determined. She had turned around and hugged him tightly, just how he liked it.
He needed to love her. She wouldn't know what to do if reality looked differently.

Once again, her thoughts had distracted her from the current mission: Making him go out with Lily, without her. Convincing him to leave her in Lucy's hands.

"Ten. Not midnight, ten o'clock. And if something happens, you'll send Juvia or Lucy to me", he muttered under his breath, giving up to her demands, probably knowing he wouldn't have been able to stop her either way. Levy smiled and went around the kitchen counter, throwing her arms around his neck and pulling him close to her. She kissed his cheek and smiled up at him.

"I'll be home at ten o'clock, boss", she said giggling and walked away from him, grabbing her backpack and her cane. At first, she had needed two crutches to stand and walk a few meters, but after two weeks, Gajeel had brought her a simple, wooden cane. He had noticed how badly she had felt with being unable to move properly, especially with the crutches in her hands. At first, she had loved the cane, but after another 2 weeks relying on it, she was close to burning that thing too.
A minute later, she had left the house, waving back at Gajeel who kept looking after her until she was out of sight.
