Forever and Always

Prom Night

Gajeel's P.O.V

After Christmas with Mike, we went back home and spent the rest of our break hanging out. Bunny girl, Rain woman, and Erza were all out doing couple things while me and the shrimp hung out at her place. She didn't want to go out, she had been homesick a little bit and wanted to stay inside and watch old vhs movies.

And that's exactly what we did.

She hooked up the vhs in the living room on the big plasma screen tv, and then brought out this big box of movies. We looked through the box, picked out a couple, and popped in Ferngully. I went into the kitchen to make popcorn, and regrettably burnt three bags before shrimp came in gagging on the horrible smell to remedy the popcorn situation. She made it perfectly the first time...

We watched other movies after Ferngully went off. Home on the Range, Jurassic Park, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Pebble and the Penguin, and a few others. By the time the last movie was over, we were cuddling together on the couch. It felt good, natural even. I was starting to drift off when she started to speak with her small, fragile voice.

"Gajeel?

"Mm, what is it short stuff?

"Are we dating?

"What?

"Are we dating, it feels like we are, but then again we haven't made it official, so I want to clear it up. I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and I just want to know for sure.

"Shrimp

"What? Did I say som-

"Will you, Levy Anne McGarden, be my girlfriend?

"Yes, yes I will.

"There, now it's official. And now, I can do this."

I leaned in and kissed her. She was shocked at first, and then kissed me back. It wasn't a lust filled kiss, it wasn't deep and very passionate. It was sweet and tender, kinda like letting her know that I care and I don't wanna fuck this up by moving to quickly. I care for this girl, I care a lot about her. She should know that, and she should be able to tell just how much she means to me, and I had some things that I would do to make sure she knew that.

Mark Twain said, "Actions speak louder than words, but not nearly as often."

Levy is different from the rest of the girls, she was a real princess. Beautiful, intelligent, smart and had a badass attitude. She is beyond what I deserved, but I will go through hell just to keep her with me. She's my Evangeline.

Levy's P.O.V

I AM DATING GAJEEL REDFOX AND HE'S KISSING ME HOLY SHIT WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO!?!?

Calm down, just calm down and kiss him back you baka. Duh.

Right. Ok, I'm totally calm, in fact I am so calm I can totally get over this sickly sweet churning flipping dancing twisting sensation of joy going overdrive in my tummy right now in seconds. Right.

"So, you wanna watch another movie or?

"Do you wanna go out to the theater and watch the new Hobbit movie?

"HELLS YEAH I DO!! C'mon, go get dressed and then we'll go to my place so I can get ready and then we are definitely hitting the freaking theater shrimp. Gihi

"Hahaha, ok ok, I'll get ready asap, be back in a few, kay?

"Ok. Dress warm, it's frigid outside.

"Alright.

"Hey shrimp,

"Yeah?

"..... Nothing, nevermind, just go get dressed.
