Forgiveness and Love, a Gajeel x Levy Fanfiction

A Worrisome Time

Levy watched as the hours passed, growing more and more worried. She knew it was normal for a job to take that long, but still, she continued to think of how dangerous it was for him.

He came stumbling back in when it was almost three in the morning. Levy was asleep on the couch, too tired to stay up any longer. Gajeel smiled when he saw her. Even though he was a little scratched up, his injuries weren't that bad, so he picked up Levy carefully, as to not wake her up, and set her on the bed. He laid beside her and fell asleep quickly, exhausted.

He woke up to the sound of the shower. Knowing Levy probably didn't eat breakfast before she got in, he made breakfast for her. When she got out, only a towel covered her as she went to grab her clothes. She smirked, knowing he was staring as she picked out her black lacy bra and the matching panties from her drawer as well as her outfit for the day.

As Levy walked back into the bathroom she noticed a scratch on his cheek, proof of last night's job, and grabbed a bandage after she got dressed.

As she walked out, completely prepared to tend to his wounds, he tried to avoid her, and quickly found that strategy wasn't effective. He started tickling her, and her laughs filled the room as she weakened.

“Stop, stop,” she exclaimed.

“What if I don't want to?” he replied, picking her up.

The pause allowed her to messily place the bandage on his face. It hung off, she only had the chance to ensure one side stuck.

“Ugh, I give up,” she said dejectedly.

“Good, now it's breakfast,” he said as he set her down on a chair at the table.

“Ooo, that's my favorite time,” she said as she dug into the food Gajeel prepared for her.

He smiled as he observed, having eaten already.

“Do you have a plan for that lacy pair of panties sweetheart?” he asked, smirking.

“You'll find out soon enough,” she replied in between bites.
He rested his head on the table, obviously pouting because of her lack of an answer.

“Patience,” she replied, getting up to place her dirty dishes in the sink when he came up behind her, gently kissing her neck as he pulled her closer.

She turned to face him, kissing him gently. He rested his hand on the small of her back as they elongated the sweet kiss.

A knock on the door interrupted the couple and Levy rolled her eyes as she could already hear Jet and Droy on the other side. She opened it to find the two ready to go on a job, reminding her of a task she had completely forgot about.

“I'm sorry guys, I'll be ready in 2 minutes,” she said as she came back into the room, her two comrades following behind.

She scurried around the room, packing extra spells and supplies as Jet and Droy eyed Gajeel wearily. It was obvious the two didn't want him around, so he didn't ask to come along.

“Okay, I'm ready,” she said, smiling.

She walked up to Gajeel, giving him a quick goodbye kiss. Jet and Droy looked away, obviously uncomfortable as the two said their goodbyes.

“I love you Levy.”

“I love you too Gajeel,” she replied.

“Stay safe,” he said, concerned.

“I will be, don't worry,” she said as she closed the door, leaving him alone.
