The Best Days of Our Lives

Ships Pt. 1

Levy's POV

"Hey Shorty wait up!"

Levy heard a deep voice behind her as she exited the cafeteria.

"Hello Gajeel" she smiled looking up at him as he jogged to catch up to her. "Is everything okay?"

She was feeling better from her hangover earlier, but for some reason she had this funny feeling in her chest.

"Everything's fine Shorty. When do you get out of class today?" He asked her looking away and scratching his head.

"I have a psychology class until 2:00 but then I'm finished for the day. Why?"

"I don't have anymore classes today, and I had a good time talkin' to ya last night, so I was wonderin' if ya would like to... I don't know, get dinner or somethin' after yer class." Gajeel stammered getting nervous.

Oh my gosh... did he just ask me on a date?.. I don't really remember anything we talked about last night! I was too drunk and definitely don't remember what I was doing or saying!

"Yeah Gajeel! I would love to hang out with you! I have to work for a bit in the library after class, but you're welcome to come keep me company!" she replied cheerfully.

What am I saying? Why do I feel so happy right now? What's going on?

"Sounds good to me!" He was making eye contact with her now and smiling, "Can I get yer number so ya can text me after yer class gets out?"

"Of course!" she said. She put her number into his phone, putting a book emoji on the end of her name. He put his number into her phone with a metal bolt emoji.

"A metal bolt?" she asked looking up at him with her nose scrunched up.

"Gihee, yeah..." He said scratching the back of his neck, "Its the closest thing I could think of to resemble all the piercings..."

Levy giggled, "It's perfect! I'm going to head to class now, I'll text you when its over!"

She turned and walked away, noticing how fast her heart was beating after he laughed...

"So Erza... What happened last night?"

Erza tensed up at Mira's sudden question. Mira was watching her from the corner of her eyes as she finished her lunch.

Everyone else had left for class and other activities, but Mira and Erza didn't have anything for the rest of the day, so they decided to stay and enjoy their meals.

"W-what do you mean?" Erza stammered, "I got drunk last night, I went home, and went to bed."

"Nothing else happened?" Mira said, an slight knowing-ness in her tone, "I know Jellal drove you guys home."

Erza's face turned bright red.

Gotcha.

"S-so? He helped Lucy and Levy to their apartment and then walked me to ours." She gulped, "Then I went in and fell asleep. That's it."

"Wow Erza" Mira said with a fake hurt in her voice, "I thought we never lied to each other. We're roommates! Best friends! SISTERS! And yet you feel like you can't express your feelings for Jellal to me..." Mira was putting on her best performance.

"Mira! I d-don't..." She trailed off.

Oh yes you do. Mira thought.

"Spill. Now." Mira said dominantly.
