Hey guys! its been such a long time lol. It's been about 4 years since I've written a fanfic, hopefully there are people who still wonder where I am cause if you are you can see that I'm not dead ;). Presenting Latte At Night
Latte At Night
Levy took quick steps down the empty sidewalk, she stared at the ground contently admiring the creamy blue that lighted her way from the full moon above her. She never really took walks at this hour, but it had to be done. The reason she was out this late was because she was in dire need to bring her grades up after being sick for a week and a half. Levy had rushed to the collage called Fairy Tail University still slightly sick to talk to her teachers about make ups and homework. Unfortunately levy was only allowed to make up as much as she could by the time classes closed which was at 10:00. She was tired and still had an ocean of work to finish by Monday. The cool breeze from the winter air blew her cyan hair across her face tickling her cold nose.
She continued to walk quickly until she started to slow down, slower, slower, and slower. Levy desperately needed the energy to get home and to finish her homework. she had to get home! levy, with her eyes still set on the the sidewalk, took long steps with her rather short legs until she saw the creamy blue from the moon disappear. The soft color was replaced by a bright yellow. levy lifted her head to look through the window of a small café. She smiled and grabbed hold of the door handle. gently pulling it open, the bell rang as the top of the door hit it. Levy slid her scarf off from her neck and adjusted her headband before she began to walk towards the front desk. The front counter was very old and broken down, the sign on the front that read Latte at Night was peeling away from the wooden wall. The lights above her head flickered from years of abuse. The rusty bell on the desk sat still. She looked at her reflection and frowned. The bags under her eyes and the red nose from her previous cold combined with her chapped lips making her look like she hadn't slept in weeks. She lifted her hand and set the pad of her finger on the little circle at the top of the bell "Ding" levy pulled her arms to her sides waiting for someone to serve her.
No one came, she once again hit the bell this time twice waiting for a response. levy rolled her eyes in annoyance, at a rapid pace she began to pushed her finger up and down on the bell multiple times.
"Hello! is anyone back there?"
Levy screamed to the back room waiting for an employee to come out and great her kindly and maybe apologize for not hearing her but she was wrong.
"Oi! shut up will ya your giving me a headache!"
Levy jumped away from the front desk in fear. A very tall man with large muscles, long hair, and piercings walked up to me his right hand rose to his head in frustration. He smacked his left hand on the front desk. Levys hazel eyes connected with the mans red ones.
"s-sorry I didn't mean to upset you."
"Yeah I bet ya didn't." The man said sarcastically.
"So what do ya want and ya better make it quick cause I'm losing my patience" the man gestured towards the faded gray menu on the wall. Levy stared at the wall for a while with her index finger pointed to her bottom lip. Her eyebrows furrowed in thought.
"Can I have the salted Carmel latte, double the sugar please."
The man nodded and typed levys order into the cash register.
"$2:75." The man said as he handed out his calloused hand. levy fumbled in her pocket for a while before pulling out a crumpled up 3 dollars. Levy handed it to him, he took it a threw it into the cash register.
"oh yeah you can keep the change."
The man nodded. Levy turned around to find no one else in the café, she slowly walked to a both and took a seat. There she waited awkwardly and silently daring herself not to move or speak until she heard heavy footsteps behind her. The pierced man set down the cup of coffee in front of her.
"Thank you so much." levy picked up the cup and took a sip. She glanced up from her drink and noticed that the man still stood in the same spot. She tried to ignore him until she could no longer stand the silence.
"Would you like to sit down or something." The man smirked and gave a strange laugh.
"Gihi I thought yad never ask." He sat in front of her and put his elbows on the table.
"My names Gajeel by the way." He reached his hand out to levy and she took it
"Levy." she blushed and shook his hand.
"Why are ya out so late shrimp?"
"My name is levy not shrimp and I'm not out late cause I want to be! I was just stuck trying to finish all my work from class at Fairy Tail University." levy crossed her arms in frustration. Gajeel laughed at her frustration, he couldn't help but think that this girl was cute when she was angry. her eyebrows pointed inward and her cheeks puffed out making her look like an angry chipmunk.
"So your a collage girl huh? It sounds to me like school sucks, that's why I dropped out of high school, to much hard work for me, im not really into the whole book thing gihi." Levys eyes widened.
"How could you not love books! They're amazing almost like a portal to another world, you can learn so many new things and go to the most beautiful places without even moving! They're great." levy let out a sigh and opened her closed eyes to look at Gajeel. he seemed completely lost by her description of books.
"Maybe I'll actually give em a shot." gajeel proclaimed smirking at her and levy smiled back.
The two continued to talk for 2 hours strait. Laughing at each others stories and blushing as Gajeel absent mindedly flirted with her. If a stranger had walked in on the two they would almost suspect them to be married. Had they met somewhere before, did they know each other somehow? It was unknown and it didn't matter to them, what truly mattered was what was happening then and now. The moment came to a screeching halt when the café door swung open.
"Gajeel Redfox! where have you been? My ballet lesson ended 30 minutes ago Juvia and Lily had to come and get me!"
Gajeel muttered under his breath and put his hand to his forehead. levy turned around to see a little girl who looked about 12 years old, she had long purple hair tied into pig tails, she was wearing a pink jacket with a little blue tutu pooking out the bottom with white tights and brown boots. She stood in front of a beautiful tall woman who had soft blue eyes and hair to match, she wore a Russian furry hat and a long velvety coat that reached her ankles, and behind her was a very large dark skinned man who sported a black coat and denim jeans, he also had a scar running across his left eye which to most people would think of as scary but his kind smile and gentle eyes said otherwise.
"Crap I fergot about Wendy!" Gajeel stood up from his seat in the booth. The little girl stomped over to Gajeel giving him an angry look but her face softened when she caught a glimpse of a cute girl sitting in the booth beside her.
"Hello miss I'm Wendy Gajeels little sister, this is Lily and this is my big sister Juvia! Nice to meet you." The little girl smiled at levy with all the sweetness in the world.
"I'm Levy Gajeels...friend.. I think? well I just met him." Levy took a glance at the clock on the wall seeing that it was 12:00. She stood up and and smiled.
"It was really nice to meet you all and I had so much fun talking with you Gajeel, maybe we should hang out again sometime, I would really love to learn more about you." Levy took her scarf and wrapped it around her neck and took a step towards the door until she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Maybe you should allow Juvia to give you a ride its very cold outside." levy's eyebrow rose at the way the woman talked in third person but gave her a sweet smile and nodded. Juvia once again waved at Gajeel before stepping outside into the cold air.
The two girls reached Levys home and Levy got out of the car clutching her bag tightly tho her body.
"Thank you for the ride Juvia."
"It wasn't a problem Juvia is all but willing to help out Gajeel-kuns girl friend." the girl smiled and levys face automatically got hot with embarrassment.
"Oh! I'm not his girlfriend"
"But it would be nice if you gave Gajeel-kun a chance. Juvia thinks that Levy-san could truly help him." Juvia reached out and handed her a slip of paper. Levy looked at it questioningly.
"That's Gajeel-kuns number. It was nice meeting you." Before Levy could even respond to her she drove away rather quickly. Levy laid in bed that night thinking about tonight's events. Maybe she would stop over at the café tomorrow night as well.
