Where Have You Been All My Life? (Gajeel X Reader)

Chapter 35

(Y/n) p/v:

I had started to relax as I followed Rogue through the town. I became so comfortable I started to get lost in my thoughts. It wasn't until he suddenly grabbed my arm, pulling me into a breezeway.

"Sorry about this." He pulled me into his chest, covering my face. I couldn't see anything, I could barely breathe. "Hold still, just for a minute." He pressed his head against mine.

"R-Rogue? You're scaring me." He shushed me and didn't say another word. My heart rate was through the roof, my breathing was irregular.

A few moments later he let go, looking down at me apologetically. He didn't give an explanation before dragging me off again. Not knowing what to do, I just followed him.

Eventually we came up to an inn that I presumed was his. It had been awkwardly silent this whole time. I desperately just wanted to get Lily and leave. He led me up to his room and opened the door. When I walked in Lily wasn't there. Rogue seemed just as surprised as I was.

"Lily?" I called out, hoping he'd answer.

"I think he went out the bathroom window, since it's open." Rogue stated walking back to me. "I wanted to apologise for earlier by the way. We were being followed and I didn't want them to recognise you." He admitted looking down.

"O-oh, that's okay." I didn't look at him, but gave a small smile.

"He might of gone back to your inn. We should go." His tone was suddenly soft, almost as if he was scared.

"That's a good idea." I smiled at him while starting to walk out the door. But he had other plans.

Lilys p/v:

I woke up in the cottage rubbing my head. It felt as if I've been asleep for a thousand years. Shaking it off, I shot up to find Gajeel and (y/n). She was in danger and I needed to stop Rogue.

Before leaving, I looked around to find any clues about what he might be up to. All I found was a paper with numbers. I flew out of the cottage back towards our inn as fast as I could. Luckily it wasn't far and I reached it within ten minutes.

"Gajeel! (Y/n)! Let me in!" I demanded while pounding on the door.

The door opened slowly and a very disgruntled Gajeel appeared. "What happened to you? Where the hell have you been?" He demanded.

"No time Gajeel! Where is (y/n)?" I looked around hoping she was here.

"She's out looking for you actually." He sat on the bed with his arms crossed.

"Shit! Come on, there isn't a moment to lose! She's in danger!" I flew back out the door, not bothering to wait for Gajeel. 'What an idiot!' I couldn't believe he'd let her go out on her own.

"Lily wait!" Gajeel shouted, but I ignored him.

I started looking over the faces of everyone we passed. Hoping I'd see either (y/n) or Rogue. The streets were so packed I couldn't focus to well until Gajeel grabbed my tail and started running in another direction.

"This way." He stated. We ran for several minutes before losing our lead. "How the fuck does a scent just vanish?" Gajeel yelled irritated.

"Wait! I found these numbers at the place Rogue took me! Look at the numbers on the buildings. They're similar!" I started to look for a building with the same numbers.

"R-rogue took you? You mean to tell me (y/n) is with Rogue?" He asked baffled. I could see the worry and anger in his face.

"Gajeel, before you completely lose it. I think we passed by the building with these numbers back there. It was an inn. He might of taken her there." Gajeel didn't wait for me this time, he just ran.
