I could feel my face start to heat up like wildfire.

'did he just ask me out?'

The question lingered in my mind for a couple seconds before I comprehended that he actually did! So many different feelings took over me at that moment, it was like I wasn't even in control of my own mind. "Sure!" I squeaked which was kind of embarrassing. He just let out a laugh of.....relief?

I wasn't really sure what emotion it was. "Here give me your number," He told me as he handed me his phone. I took it and gave him my phone. I put in my number but instead of Levy, I put Shrimp. I handed his phone back to him and he did the same.

We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. On my way to the train station, I was skipping. I was just so happy that Gajeel asked me to meet up with him. I couldn't stop a smile from tugging at my lips.

Once I got home my first thought was to call Lucy. But I quickly dismissed the thought because of earlier today. I knew she wouldn't want to talk to me. I just tried to forget about it and put on some music. I danced around my room for a good hour then I got tired.

Who knew that dancing around because a guy asked you to hang out with him would happen to me? I know I didn't. I never thought that I would be this excited about something like this but..... I don't know.... just something about him.

After a while of just laying in bed I decided to take a well deserved hot bath. I went into my closet-like bathroom and turned on the hot water. I stripped off my uniform and got in. "Ahhh," I said to myself as my body touched the hot water. I started to put soap into the bath to make bubbles. I was such a child.

After my bath, I put on my favorite cow onesie. Then I flopped onto my bed. The coldness of the bed clashed with my warm body which was kind of refreshing. I was just laying down when I heard my phone buzz. I grabbed it and it read: message from Gajeel. I got really excited and opened it.

Gajeel: Hi Shrimp

Me: Hi! I just wanted to thank you for putting up with during dinner : )

Gajeel: If I didn't want to 'put up with you' I wouldn't have asked you out on a date

'date?' I could practically feel the redness on my cheeks

Me: Who said it was a date?

Gajeel: Me.

Me: Ok Mr. Straight Forward

Gajeel: Hey, being straightforward never hurt anyone

Me: Oh Gajeel...

The conversation just went on kind of like that. We would just talk about random things. To be perfectly honest, I never got bored. I thought at some points in the conversation I was boring him but I really hope I wasn't.

Me: Wow! Is it really 2:00 A.M.?

Gajeel: Yeah I guess it is

Me: Well, I have to hit the sack since I have work tomorrow

Gajeel: Aww. Night Shrimp

Me: Goodnight Gajeel

I didn't want to stop talking to him but I did not need to be a zombie at work tomorrow. Especially since Makarov gave me the day off. I put my phone to charge on the piece of wood that was my nightstand and snuggled up under my covers. It was really cold for some reason but I didn't want to have to get up and change the temperature so I guess I would have to live with it.

'will it be like this on the new planet? cold and lonely?'

*time skip next morning*

My routine went, as usual, I got up when the alarm clock went off and almost threw it across the room. Then I went to the bathroom and got dressed in my black pants and white lab coat. Instead of putting a bandana in my hair I put it in a messy bun. Tiny blue baby hairs were going all over the place but I didn't care. I felt like crap because I barely got any sleep. I just couldn't stop thinking of Gajeel the entire night. It seemed that everything would remind me of him. Like my metal keys or a black cat.

'i need to get over myself'

The walk to the train station was normal, and so was the train ride itself. But once I stepped foot in the lab I got showered with questions from everyone. Some people even asked to go with me but once I told them they couldn't come back they quickly declined. The rest of the day went on the same, people asking questions. I could barely even work. Especially since Lucy kept giving me death stares. I even tried talking to her but she wouldn't have it.

I left work, defeated. While I was on the train I got a text. I pulled out my phone to see the next was none other than.....Lucy??

Lucy: Sorry about today......

I just stood there and stared at my phone. Was she apologizing? It took me awhile to respond.

Me: It's ok Lu, I should be the one apologizing

Lucy: I just feel bad. I mean I'm mad at you but best friends don't ignore each other T*T

Me: Don't worry about it! :D

Lucy: Want to come over?

Me: That would be great!

Once I got off the train I rushed over to Lucy's apartment. Her place was only a 10-minute walk from mine so I really didn't need to take the train. Once I got to her apartment I knocked on the door. Mid-knock she opened it and hugged me. 

"I'm really sorry again Levy-chan!" She said. 

"Lu! It's ok! I'm the one you should be mad at." I said patting her back. 

"Fine.....If you say so." She said letting go.

She motioned her hand which meant for me to come in. Once I was inside we walked over to her big comfortable black couch. "I missed talking to you, even if it was only for a day," I said while laughing. She just giggled.

'should i tell her about gajeel? i mean i should.....but......'

"Lu, I have to tell you something," I said kind of nervous even though I didn't know why. 

"Umm ok......" She said with a questioning look on her face. I then told her about Gajeel and how we literally bumped into each other, and how we ate at Sal's together, and how he asked me on a.......date? It couldn't be a date. Could it? "I don't know if it's a date or not....." I told her as I finished.

"Of course its a date! Levy-chan this is so exciting!" She squealed. 

"I guess...." I said. "

Do you like him?" She asked. I never really thought about it before..... Just then a horrible thought crossed my mind. A thought so horrible, I almost threw up. I guess Lucy noticed my face going white because she said, 

"Levy? What's wrong?" I just sat there staring blankly at her. 

"Lucy.....I can't like him" I said. 

"Why not?" She asked. 

"Because.....Because....." I tried to say what was on my mind but it wouldn't come out. 

"Because of what?!" Lucy almost yelled. "Because... I'll have to leave him."
