He pulled you towards a nearby wall and grazed your arm.

You gulped afraid of what would happen next. He smirked slightly and leaned down on you.

Looking down you realized that he still wasn't wearing any clothing. All that was left for you to see was his sculpted figure and all the small details and scars placed on it.

He was beautiful. Although it seemed like the situation came straight out of one of your fantasies, you were feeling quite awkward.

You didn't really know how to act in situations like this. Heart beating out of your rib cage, your breath hitched.

You licked your lips and closed your eyes shut, impatiently waiting for his lips to lock in with yours tenderly.

But... Nothing happened.

Instead you were just met with a flick to the forehead. You opened your eyes rapidly and saw him putting his shirt back on and with a huge smirk taking the majority of his face.

"In your dreams, kid." He laughed slightly and went towards the bed you both had done before. He pulled you towards it and laid down. "We better get some rest if we want this mission to be over quickly."

You looked at him. "You didn't have to do that you know ?"

"Revenge for peeping on me." He said flicking your forehead once again. You placed your hand on where he had flicked it, rubbing it slightly. "Abuse..."

He ruffled your head with both hands, laughing. He then proceeded to call you adorable multiple times.

"Enough ! Do you like it when I do that ?" You ruffled his hair trying to make him understand your frustration.

He simply hummed and left out a chuckle. "It actually feels really good when you do this. Keep going..."

You instantly stopped moving, your face heating up. "Don't say it like that !" You turned around with him facing your back.

Chuckling once more, he let out a soft hum. "Sleep tight, Y/N."

°

You couldn't really sleep after this. Your feelings were all jumbled and your heart was fluttering harder than ever before.

First, he almost kisses you but then stops and tells you to stop dreaming. And then, he manages to be amazing once again. It just made your feelings for him even stronger.

Another reason for your lack of sleep was because of his light snores. You had resulted to kicking him when they became unbearable.

But then again if he wasn't asleep you wouldn't have been able to stare at him. A rare opportunity really.

He shuffled slightly and opened his eyes. "Can't sleep ?"

"Nope. I'm just a little cold that's all..." You replied calmly. He pulled the covers that were engulfing the both of you more towards your body hoping you wouldn't feel as cold. You thanked him quietly and thought for a moment.

"You know, you've been way more affectionate and touchy-touchy towards me lately... I don't really know if I should appreciate it or question it."

Your face heated up slightly. "I'm still cold by the way..."

He smiled at you and scooted closer. You could feel his body warmth radiating onto you which made you instantly more comfortable.

"Does that feel good ? Or do you want me closer ?" He said looking down on you.

"Closer."

That was a lie. But, what ? You probably wouldn't have another chance to be this close to him so why not seize the opportunity.

He approached you even closer and paused when realizing that the both of you were practically glued together.

"I've always been this way, I think. Maybe you're just now realizing it."

His breath hitched when he noticed you looking down blushing, slowly dragging your hand down on his chest. It then was his turn to blush and he was ashamed to admit that your actions were making him feel a certain way.

But despite knowing how wrong it was, he didn't want you to stop.

You, on the other hand, wanted to feel more of him. The guild was always too crowded to do anything remotely suggestive so a moment like this was major luck.

Gildarts was just not thinking anymore. His mind was sent somewhere else. It was as if a simple touch from you could send him overboard. He gritted his teeth and let out a low groan.

You stared at him and looking back and forth between his face and his lips.

"Stop- Don't stare..." He said firmly, taking a hold of your hand.

You removed your hand slowing but still stayed close to him. "S-Sorry.. I just couldn't help myself."

His breathing still hadn't gone back to normal yet making you concerned.

"I can't take this." He pulled you towards him and embraced you tightly allowing you to take a breath of his scent.

"G-Gildarts ?"

"Don't move, think or say anything. Just let me touch you..." He started.

But after awhile he stopped but still kept you close.

"I'm sorry. Let's just sleep, alright ?" Soothing you by stroking your forehead until you fell asleep.

°

You woke up to a sound. Almost like a scream. You opened your eyes softly and gazed around. You were sitting down and weren't in the same room anymore.

At least that's what it seemed like. The walls were white and everything felt very minimalistic. Another thing that you noticed was that the firm arms you longed for were no longer holding you down.

So rapidly you looked around you. "Gildarts ? You here ?"

No response. Out of the sudden, you felt his hand touch yours.

"Morning, sweet cheeks. How are you doing ?" He sat down in front of you.

"Um, I'm doing really good actually. Where are we ?" You questioned him.

"Don't move, alright ? I'll answer all your questions just let me grab you something to eat." He stood up and went to grab something in his duffle bag. He walked towards you holding 3 cereal bars.

"Here you go. Eat your fill okay ?"

"Thanks." He looked around seemingly trying to find something.

"What did you do ?" you asked quietly.

He looked at you with a serious look.

"While you were sleeping, I had the idea of looking around that maze. You were still asleep and I didn't want to wake you up, so I took you on my back. And here we are now."

"Oh."

"And, about yesterday..." He started scratching his head.

"..Yeah ?"

"Let's forget that happened alright ? I.. I promised Master that I wouldn't do anything out of line and..." He said sighing.

You looked down and waited for a second before nodding. You were a bit sad it had come to this but you had a feeling it'd happen.

"I'm really sorry. Thanks for understanding Y/N." He held put your hand so that you could stand up.

"Let's go find some clues, ok ?" He said smiling brightly.

The both of you looked around for awhile. That is until you stepped in an other area that caused the room to close itself on it's own.

The walls had entrapped you out nowhere.

You were a little confused as to what was going at the moment. Nothing was making sense. But honestly, you were a bit afraid.

Gildarts looked at around him concerned before bringing you next to him.

"Don't panic. I'll take care of it."
