An Iron Galaxy. ¤ Gajeel Redfox Love Story

Vol 5. New Challenges Ahead. #8

"I'm going home.." Amy had put Lily down and Gajeel fails to respond.
"What? No you're not! It's the middle of the night?" Gajeel steps in front of the door, keeping it closed shut with his hand.
"You must be deaf or did you not hear me say that just now?"
"I don't care!" He growls at her.
"This is bullshit.. I've spent more nights outdoors than indoors! I am perfectly capable of surviving a 10 minute walk!"
"I don't care.." He hangs his head.
"Now you're getting under my skin.." Highly agitated she let herself fall on the couch.
"I never should have come back.." Amy's voice is breaking and Gajeel feels his heart ache by the words spoken.
"Fine.." His voice breaks. "Go then.." Gajeel pulls back from the door and walks straight into his room, slamming the door shut behind him.

"I'm sorry Lily.." Amy pats his head, stands up and runs out.

"Give it time." Lily speaks to Gajeel. "I am sure time is what you both need." He sits beside the dragon slayer.
"I know that I don't have a good rep, but I am working on it.. I wanna show that I am worth it. I am good now!" He admits some of his feeling.
"She's not just in my head Lily. She's here too!"

Whilst running, the tears are running down her face.
"I hate that I feel this way, I am scared of losing him.. I hear everyone talk shit about him and not trusting him, but I don't care. No matter what they say, I want to be around him.. With him even! I don't know how to act around him though. Every time he calls my name, it hits differently."

After a long night, with barely any sleep, Amy had woken up to the sound of birds tweeting and singing outside. She looks around the room, it's a mess..
'It has been a while since I slept this deep..' She thinks to herself, but not in a good way.

After freshening up she leans on the sink of her bathroom, all sort of thoughts cross her mind. Somehow all thoughts are negative. She's convinced Gajeel has become a huge distraction mainly due to the fact that she has developed feelings towards him. If she wants to learn the spells Moby gave her, she must head out to Seven soon. How is she ever going to tell him, or will she even tell him at all? Is it best if she were to just head out?

Instead of heading out, which was her first intention, she stays in. She keeps everything closed and with a little light source, she takes out the books she took. With her Gale-force glasses, she hopes to absorb as much information as possible. 
Book after book after book she only found a few bits of new information. She closes the third book and drops it beside her. Amy pulls her knees up to her chin.
"I think I should go to Era again.."

Enabling her invisibility, heads to the guild first. Picking up her permission slip to enter the restricted section. Even within the guild, she stays hidden until she's in front of Master's room.
"Come in Amy." He invites her in before she could knock.
"Hi Master, I came to get my permission slip. I'm heading to Era."

A little later, she leaves for Era again. During her journey, Amy tries to remember her precious time with Moby. All the teaching he did for her and her family, but also the patience he had whilst teaching. Unlike her other teachers, Moby was gentle and encouraging.
'After visiting Era, I must head out to Seven as soon as possible.. I must meet with his sister.'
