A Dangerous Love{GaLe}

Chapter 8

Levy P.O.V

After the days work I accompanied Gajeel to his home so he could pack. He lived in a small one bedroom house, and compared to my flat, it was so clean.

We then headed to my home. I unlocked the door to the stairs and looked back at Gajeel. "You live above a bookstore?" he raised an eyebrow. "Is that a problem?" he shook his head.

We walked up the stairs and opened the door. "Lily!" I called. That familiar bell jingled and I opened my arms. Lily came running from my bed and lept into my arms. "There's my boy!" I hugged him.

"You named your make cat Lily?" "It's short for Pantherlily." I pouted. Lily hopped onto my head and stared at Gajeel. Gajeel raised an eyebrow and stared at the cat.

He jumped onto the tall mans shoulder and started purring." That's new. He doesn't care much for new people." I smiled. I cleaned a spot in the corner of the room for Gajeels stuff and cleaned of the couch so he had a place to sleep.

"There." I said, proud of my work. i memorized the places where I made new stacks of books an where there was now walking space before taking off my glasses.

"I'm ordering chinese, you want some?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm starving." I could hear the grin in his voice. Once diner arrived we sat together on the couch and ate. It will be nice having someone other than Lily around, especially if it's Gajeel.

Gajeel P.O.V

Just like the old man had predicted the manor was done by the end of the week. Levy and I had arrived early on Saturday to take use of the new gym.

I was lifting weights while she was abusing a punching bag. I wasn't sure how long we were there but Natsu came down with Lucy after what felt like ages. Natsu grinned when he spotted me.

"Hey metal face! Spar with me!" he yelled. "Busy." I grunted. He sighed. "I'll take his spot!" Levy said as she ran over. "Are you sure?" he asked. I looked over and it looked like Levy wanted to deck him.

"You don't want to spare with me?" she grumbled. I set the weights down and got up. "Come on shrimp, you and me will go a round." I said.

"Hey your supposed to fight me!" Natsu whined. "Don't wanna. Gihhe." I grinned. "Gajeel go easy on her." Lucy said. Levy had the, deck you in the face, look.

"Hell no." Levy looked up at me surprised, then grinned. "Actually, let's do something different." I said as a thought crossed my mind. I walked with Levy to the training mats and turned to her. She had a confused look on her face.

I snatched her glasses and set them on my head, tucked into my sweat band."Gajeel!"Lucy yelled at me, I glared at her.

"She needs to be prepared for anything! What if she is in the middle of a fight and she loses these huh?" I yelled at her. She shrunk back and I looked to Levy."The goal is to get these back within ten minutes. This is your first blind fight right?" she nodded." Then I will be on defensive only. If you don't get them back in ten minutes then your cooking dinner." I grinned.

"Gajeel do-"Natsu started. "Let's do this!" Levy said. I had never seen her so excited. It occurred to me, for as long as iv been here, I'm the only one that treated her as an equal. Everyone else thought she needed special help. "Lucy time us!" She called to her friend who reluctantly agreed.

"Start!" Lucy shouted. Levy wasted no time as she rushed at me. I lept to the side and landed as quietly as possible, knowing her hearing would lead her to me.

She stayed still for a second then grinned. She sniffed and turned to me.'Crap.' She lunged again and I dodged, giving her a push. She tumbled but rolled to her feet. She kicked out her leg and it made contact with my gut.

I grunted and dodged as she made a reach for her glasses. She made for another kick but this time, I grabbed her stationary leg and pulled, sending her to her back as Lucy called time.

She laid there panting heavily as she stared blankly at the ceiling. I stood over her grinning and returned her glasses to her face. "I want spaghetti."

She grinned up at me and nodded. "Fine but first," she quickly swept her leg, sending me on my back. She laughed like I had never heard before. I couldn't stop the grin that spread across my face. I always want to hear that laugh.

///Time Skip-Evening\\\

"Gajeel I'm tiiiired!" Levy playfully whined from behind me. "You havnt done crap all day!" I huffed. "Are you kidding? I fought a giant today an had my ass handed to me!" she yelled.

I couldn't help but laugh at her. She pouted as she shuffled along. I knelt down in front of her. "If your so tired hop on." I said. She flushed and looked away. "I'm fine." I sighed and grabbed her, slinging her onto my back.

She squeeked as she grabbed onto my neck. I laughed as I carried her to her small flat and even up the stairs. "Lily!" we called in unison. It had become a habit to call for the small black cat when getting home.

He camping running from the other room and jumped first onto my shoulder then onto Levys head. I dropped the small blunette onto the couch as she laughed.

She got up and headed for the kitchen to start dinner and I sat at the small island behind her. I watched her move around the kitchen, humming tunelessly to herself as she cooked.

Once she finished we moved to the couch to eat, her sitting cross legged and me with my legs stretched out.

I couldn't help but watch her as we ate. She had taken off her glasses so I was free to stare. Her hair fell loosely around her face and framed it nicely. Her long eyelashes brushed her cheeks and a hint of color was always present. She looked so beautiful. I felt the heat rise to my face as I thought that. Yeah... Beautiful.

"You ok Gajeel? You got really quiet." she asked as she tilted her head. Her hair fell away from her pale slender neck and I stared again. "Uh yeah.... Just thinking."

"About what?" I debated telling her. I rolled it over and over in my head before sighing. "You." I felt my face heat up again, and hers did too.

"M-me?" I nodded then remember. "Yeah you.... Just about how beautiful you are." She blushed more and I hesitantly reached out and brushed some hair from her face. She didn't flinch but lightly turned her face into my hand.

I gently caressed her cheek as she sighed lightly. "What is it?" I started to pull my hand back but she caught it. She sighed again. "I think I'm in love with you." She whispered. I don't think my face could get any redder.

"Well... I KNOW I'm in love with you." I said. She looked up at me with wide eyes. I pulled her close to me and pressed my lips against hers.
