An Iron Galaxy. ¤ Gajeel Redfox Love Story

Vol 5. New Challenges Ahead. #8

Amy had woken up to the sound of birds tweeting and singing outside. She looks around the room, as if she forgot that she spend another night at Gajeel's place. His side of the bed is still neatly made. Amy figures that she slept through the night more comfortable than ever.
'It has been a while since I slept this deep..' She thinks to herself.

In the other room Gajeel is still sound asleep, but that doesn't stop her from not getting out of bed. Besides, she would really like a glass of water..

As she leans on the counter 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? First she must go to Era again before leaving..

"You up already?" A voice suddenly asks.
"KYAAAAA!!" Amy jumps up and trips. Startled because Pantherlily decided not to announce his presence before speaking.
"You okay Amy?" Lily asks whilst helping Amy back on her feet.
"Yeah.. You really startled me Lily!" Amy explains.
"Sorry for that. I didn't expected you to be up this early." Lily rubs the back of his head with his paw.
Amy couldn't stay mad with him. She was only startled and it's not like he did it intentionally. She smiles at the tough looking exceed.
"It's okay Lily. I just couldn't sleep anymore and I have a lot on my mind.. I have to go home soon and then leave for the train station and I..." Amy stops for a second.
'Make sure you tell no one about these spells, don't even mention visiting Era's library' Makarov's words repeat itself once more.
"Yes?" Lily asks confused.
"I.. I seriously need to ehm.. shop for ehm.. some specific clothes.." Amy tries to lie in the most believable way possible.
"Clothes? There's no need to get shy just because you need clothes." Lily exclaims before realizing Amy deliberately avoids the name of the kind of clothing. He begins to blush a little and begins to apologize over and over again.
Somehow Amy knew that if she would mention buying underwear, guys can get really uncomfortable and stop asking questions. It's not a complete lie though, she does need new underwear but it's not priority number one right now. The most believable part is how uncomfortable Amy is when mentioning underwear, she hates to say it out loud.

Later that morning Amy said her goodbyes and left for the dormitory. Just thinking about last night and all the teasing makes her feel heavenly yet anxious. How bad she would want him to make a move on her but she doesn't want him to get so close yet.
Her feelings for him are real alright but she wouldn't know what to do if it was mutual. Not to speak about a relationship..

Inside her room, Amy changes her clothes and places the books on her desk. She takes her new enhanced cloak to endure the duration of her moon dust. Eventhough Amy still feels like her magic isn't restored to the fullest yet, she is determined to make sure no one can follow her.

Enabling her invisiblity, she leaves for Era again. During her journey, Amy tries to remember her precious time with Moby. All the teaching he did for her family, but also the patience he had while 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."
