''Do you think Levy's okay?'' Lucy questioned.

''If I had known she felt like that about him I never would've-'' Mirajane cut Juvia off.

''It's not your fault Juvia. Levy would've found out sooner or later.''

''Hey guys!'' Levy came out behind them with a look of pure joy and Gajeel's arm resting on her head.

''Oh you two look so adorable together!'' Mirajane squealed. Lucy smiled. Gajeel and Levy looked at each other.

''Dear Levy. I see you're enjoying my sloppy seconds,'' Mandy smirked when she walked by them down the hall.

''I'm nobody's sloppy seconds doll face. This whole package starts up like brand new, even after I encounter a train wreck,'' Gajeel grunted while Levy giggled.

''Is something funny bookworm?'' Mandy sneered.

''It's funny how you think you have anything to do with the choices I make when the only reason you slept with Gajeel was just to get me upset. I feel sorry for you,'' Levy countered. Mandy stepped towards Levy until Gajeel got in her way and growled a warning.

''I suggest you don't ever touch my shrimp.'' Levy blushed. Mandy glared at all of them before she walked away seething in anger.

''Standing up for yourself twice in one day? I think tall scary man might be a good influence on you,'' Lucy smirked. Gajeel grunted when Levy giggled at him.

''Sup?'' Gajeel spotted Natsu and Gray heading towards him. Natsu squinted at Levy.

''So you guys are like..dating now?'' Natsu questioned skeptically. Levy nodded in happiness while Gajeel smirked. ''You do know that he has been with girls more often than he eats?'' Natsu sneered.

Gray smacked him on the back of his head to silence him.

''Ouch ice tits!'' Natsu shrieked.

''Shut it fire crotch,'' Gray muttered. Levy continued to smile.

''It's alright. I'm quite aware that Gajeel-kun dated a lot.'' Gajeel grimaced.

''I don't think 'dating' is the right word for what he did toots,'' Natsu smirked before Gray smacked him again, much harder. ''Why do you keep hitting me frosty pants!?''

Levy giggled and grabbed Gajeel's hand affectionately.

''I'm really happy for you guys and all and I enjoy giving my eyes the pleasure of getting to look at Pinky over here and his muscles but if I'm late for English one more time I'm gonna have to move into the detention room so adios amigos!'' Lucy waved goodbye as she went about her way to her classes.

Natsu raised an eyebrow and smirked at her retreating form. Gray sighed at the pink haired trouble maker until he noticed a pair of dark blue eyes watching him belonging to Juvia Lockser.

''Are you..okay?'' He asked. Juvia's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.

''Please don't look at me! My heart beats too fast when you look at me. Is that normal? Am I sick?'' Juvia questioned fearfully. Gray blushed as everyone else either smirked or giggled.

''You're fine Juvia-chan,'' Mirajane giggled.

''I don't feel fine. I need to get away from him. I'm going to class!'' Juvia quickly mumbled and left with Mirajane following.

''Juvia hasn't been around people much so that sort of thing is new to her,'' Levy voiced.

''What do you mean 'she hasn't been around people much'?'' Gray questioned.

''You'll find out eventually,'' Levy smiled as Gajeel led her away.
