133You Know I Love You
10
"Gajeel?" The train clattered along the tracks under it, the private car was filled with sunlight from the high noon sun.
"Yeah, babe?" He leaned his head on her shoulder, his hand playing with hers on her lap. He kissed her cheek gently. He showed her only love, praying to keep her sane until they made it home where she could let it all out.
"I wanna move into your house, we can both live their with our family." She pressed his hand against her slowly growing stomach.
He purred and rubbed his hand in circles.
"I'd like that. I'd like that a lot. We can paint the rooms however you like, I can work more jobs and then we can relax for a while." He kissed her again. "Does that sound good?"
"Yeah, really good." She had her fair share of action; at least they had been paid a good deal, nearly a million jewels.
There was a rough knock on their door, the crystallized windows showed the outline of a large man.
"Hel-low? ~" It slurred out.
Gajeel growled and got up; he didn't want to leave her warmth behind. He whipped the door open, his magic visibly flaring about him. His voice calm despite his demeanor. "What?"
The man ignored him and peered over his shoulder to catch a glimpse of Levy.
"Hey there pretty." He hiccupped and giggled like a schoolgirl.
Levy gave him the cold shoulder and looked out the window; she wasn't in the mood for this right now. Gajeel growled deeply and sneered towards the drunkard.
"I saw you get carried onto here, by this man." He gestured at Gajeel. "Why don't yah come and hang with me?" He swayed and leaned against the doorway. He continued to ignore Gajeel.
"You cock sucking mother fucker, she doesn't want to look at you. Get your punk ass out of here." Gajeel gripped the doorway, the wood beginning to crackle and singe marks began to appear as well.
"Hold your horses." The made gurgled.
"Gajeel?"
"Hmm?" He didn't look over his shoulder, already knowing what she wanted.
"Get rid of him." She deadpanned, not a single drop of emotion to be seen in the sentence.
"Gladly." Gajeel unceremoniously kicked the man down stairs making him double over, the perfect position for a knee to the face. He did so with fervor. He spun the man to the wall and jerked an arm behind his back violently. He whispered in the mans ear. "You picked the wrong broad to hit on, 'cause she's mine." He punctuated it with a growl and jerking the arm higher. The man cried out. "We've been through hell, fuck off." He released him and returned to throw him across the car to the other side. He slammed the door shut.
"I'm back." He sighed heavily and shook his head.
He looked to her, a smile plastered from ear to ear.
"Love you." She patted the seat next to her. He complied by sitting down and laying his head upon her lap.
"Love you more." He gripped her hand and kissed it gently. "I can't wait to get home and relax, away from dicks like him."
"Same here, I want to talk to Lucy a bit." Gajeel chuckled.
"Don't hurt her for not telling you, some people just aren't open with relationships." He patted her hand and set it on his forehead. Their own Mating had been kept undercover as well.
"So? I'm her closest friend; I knew she was with him but not that way." A blush creped up her cheeks.
Gajeel chuckled.
O-O-O-O
She stretched bones in her back popping back into place with a satisfying crunch. The train had pulled into the station not too long ago, she just wanted to be lazy and enjoy her time. Gajeel grabbed her bag for her and grunted to get going, he was a bit tired and tiny bit crabby.
She muffled her giggle and hugged his chest tightly. He had helped her forget, even if only for a little bit. He smirked, wrapped his arm around her, and kept her pinned to his chest as he started to move out onto the platform. She placed her feet on his and walked with him, her face pressed to his chest.
His breath rumbled under forehead, it was comforting and mind numbing, it was just there and loud. It blocked out all her other thoughts.
He walked her to the street that way, catching looks from the people around them.
"Wanna go home, or our other home?" He released her.
"Hmm." She fingered her chin as she thought deeply for a moment. "I want to go home." She beamed up at him and took off for the Guild, a place everyone could call home. He let a small smile creep onto his lips as he watched his fairy bounce before him. Her orange ribbon in place along with her brown vest and the bikini top he didn't approve of. He wanted to be the only on to see certain, ahem, parts. Her skirt began to ride up; it was as if last night hadn't happened, she was the same person. He knew she was covering it, under her smile she still grimaced in pain and loss.
He sighed and hung his head in defeat, "Lead the way." He swung his arms in a sweeping motion.
She giggled and looped her arm with his.
"Love you." Those words were whispered softly in his ear as she peeked his cheek with her soft lips.
"Twice and more from me." He patted her head and rested his own on it. She smiled and leaned in on him.
They made their way to the Guild, on their own time and means too. A kiss there and a whispered word here. He gripped her hand tightly as it swung gently between the two of them; the perfect picture of peace.
The Guild was in earshot, the sounds of breaking wood reached their ears.
"Gah, why can't they keep quiet?" Gajeel leaned his head on hers.
"Hah, but it wouldn't be our Guild then!" She squealed and took off, her hand slipping out of his as she rushed foreword into the gates they both knew too well.
He sighed, shoved his empty hand back into his pockets, and followed her silently.
He heard the squeals of could have only been described as Lucy meting and tackling Levy.
"You've been gone for awhile, how was the job?" She asked excitedly.
"Lots happened, but that's a story for another time. I want you to be the first to know, Gajeel proposed!" Levy giggled like a schoolgirl as Lucy's mouth hit the floor. "Also," she whispered lightly, "I have more to tell you later." She wiggled her eyebrows.
"Levy, you aren't allowed to leave for that long anymore! Too much happens to you when you do!" Lucy cried out as she threw her hands high into the air, her own ring glinting in the light. Instantly they launched into another squeal fest.
"Gajeel, you're alive after all." The flame-head approached him; a smirk lay hidden on his lips.
"Yep, been busy." He stepped foreword and closed the grand doors. "Levy and I have to move her stuff into my place today." He casually started the conversation.
"Hmm, same here but I'm moving in with her, my place isn't the best for a kid to grow up in." Natsu let an eyebrow crawl into his hairline.
"Hmm, I think the kid'll like my place." Gajeel leaned against the wood and viewed his mate as she greeted people who had missed her in her absence. A pair of odd boys approached her, he bristled.
"Hello, Levy." Both greeted her in unison, their eyes trained on the floor.
"We missed you." Jet spoke up.
"We're sorry." Droy joined in.
"I can forgive you both, but I will never forget." A light entered her eyes as she bore down on them. "You bastards dare to look down upon my fiancé; I'm ashamed of you both. We grew up together after all, that kind of behavior is unacceptable." She snapped at them both and whirled around to face Gajeel. "Let's grab my stuff and head home." She smiled gently to him, which he causally returned.
"Sure, babe."
Short filler chapter, I know. I had to update now that Fanfiction was back on. My account was blocked for about a week and I was frustrated beyond belief! This is just a short chapter leading to a longer one. I hope to update sooner.
P.S. Those of you who have read the beginning of the Gajeel x Levy story that was placed as a bonus, yeah… that's a lie. The story will be completely different from that. I had inspiration for it in the past week while I couldn't update.
So thanks to all of you who have read my works, and look foreword to the next installment of this story!
