An Iron Galaxy. ¤ Gajeel Redfox Love Story

Vol 4. A Night To Remember. #4

"Gajeel?"
"Yeah?" Gajeel patiently waits for Amy to speak. She takes a few deep breaths before she does.
"I don't know if it was a dream but I feel really peaceful with you around.." Amy says as she's playing with her hair.
"The other day when I slept here, I dreamed that.. Ehm.. You ehm.. Held me.." Gajeel's heart takes a little leap. "I dreamed that we slept.. In the same.. In your bed.."
'Oh my God, this is so adorable!'
"We did." He replied. Amy's eyes grew large and her cheeks are starting to burn up.
"You were having bad dreams and insisted to have me in the same room." He explains with a straight face. Amy begins to remember.
'Wait.. So the hugging..'
"It wasn't a dream, Amy." Gajeel finishes her thought.

There is a moment of silence. Both are unsure of what to say, or what to do. Amy is wandering if there is anything else she can't remember, while Gajeel is trying to choose between a night on the couch with the possibility that Amy might call him or to offer sleeping next to her in his bed just in case something happens..
"Gaj-.."
"Amy." They say at the same time. "You go first." Gajeel says quickly.
"Ehm.. Would it b-be wrong.. To ehm.. A-ask if you'd like to ehm.." Amy stutters, she seems to struggle finishing her sentence.
Gajeel can't help but to think about how adorable she tries to ask him this. Instead he asks her.
"Do you want me to sleep next to you once more?" She nods heavily. "That's okay." He adds.

Gajeel is laying on his back, waiting for Amy to get in too. He had closed his eyes already, is't about time he rested. Only seconds later he hears the bedroom door close and Amy steps into the bed as well. Amy is facing away from Gajeel, she feels really nervous. This time she is fully conscious of the situation and tries to stay as calm as possible.
"Why are you so far away?" Gajeel suddenly asks her. Amy tries to play dumb.
"A-am I?" Suddenly she feels a lot of movement in the bed and as a surprise: his arm is now around her waist, pulling her in.

"Wha-what are you d-doing?!" She asks surprised, almost shocked even.
"Instinct.. I just feel like I-ehm.. I need to hold y-you.." His reply is a bit disturbing, but it seems to calm down most of Amy's nerves.
"Oh.. Okay.." Amy surrenders to him. Her entire body is pressed against his, he has his face burrowed in her hair and he even holds her hand.
His embrace is making her feel so safe. He spoons her so tightly, it's as if he's afraid to lose her.
"Goodnight Gajeel." Amy says softly as she snuggles up to him. He responds to her with a slight increase of pressure, tightening his embrace for a second. He takes a deep breath whilst doing so. Little does she know he's remembering her scent..
"Good night Amy."

'What is this feeling..? I have never felt so attached to someone before. Other than Metallicana, she is the first to have such an impact on me..' Gajeel's mind is all over the place.
'Fuck, how did this happen so quick?!'

'Why can't I just tell him? I really want to open up but would he still like me if I did..?' Amy's mind is also going in many directions. She cannot help but imagine what it would be like if she was faced towards him.
'How would his lips feel if he kissed me?' A little moan escaped. She has lost full controle over her thoughts.
'Fuck. I sure hope he doesn't notice..'
