"So are you that weird couple that gets coffee at midnight? Does this happen a lot?" the barista asked as she filled their order.
Levy laughed. She saw Gajeel smile out of the corner of her eye as they walked to a table.
Gajeel pulled out Levy's chair for her, and even once he sat down, neither of them spoke. Not about anything important. In between their long silences, they made small talk that wasn't nearly as awkward as it had been. Even their silences were almost comfortable.
As they started to get up, Gajeel asked, "So, uh, you want me to walk you home?"
Levy smiled.
"Sure."
Gajeel stopped a yard or two away from the trailer, and Levy walked on. She waved as she closed the door behind herself, and he waved back. Levy sank into her chair and searched her mind for something to pierce her happiness, but nothing came. She was happy, and nothing was wrong.
