Just a short one. Un-beta-ed.


"Wait, wait, wait, who are you and what the hell have you done with the Shrimp?"

Gajeel waves a gloved hand in the air and stops in the middle of the sidewalk. The lights of the city street, the reflection off the snow casts a soft glow over the couple. How they've gotten on this subject on their journey from the guildhall to their shared apartment is beyond him.

"What?" Levy asks, stopping just in front of him. She huffs, breath crystalizing in the air around her, "I'm just saying, to reach a bigger audience you'd either have to make the movies a series longer than the entire Harry Potter series put together, turn it into a needlessly complicated lacrima-vision show, or you have to cut stuff out."

"So let me get this straight, you, Levy McGarden self proclaimed queen of the guild library and all things literature," Levy snorts at the comment, a very Gajeel like noise and he wonders for a moment if he's spent to much time corrupting the girl. "Are arguing that the Lord of the Rings movies are better than the books?" Gajeel asks

"No, I'm just saying, yeah they're not one hundred percent accurate to the books, and they cut a bunch of stuff out of the movies like characters and back stories and all that, and sure if I want to spend a week holed up in my room rereading the trilogy, I can. Buuuuut if I want to spend some quality time with my favorite dragonslaying boyfriend," she says, latching on to said dragonslayer's arm from where he's folded it across his chest and pulling it down to lace her fingers with his. "Cuddling on the couch watching hot men fight a bunch of ugly orcs, the movies are better."

Gajeel raises a brow at her, and then shakes his head, shoving his free hand into a pocket. He'll never understand this woman before him, but he'll gladly spend the rest of his life trying, he thinks, fingering the ring hidden in his pocket.

"Did I mention there's a dragon in the prequels?" she asks, tugging on his arm to get him to start walking again. He obliges and the two trudge off into the night.
