New Gajevy & NaLu story!
There will be Gruvia & Jerza also~
I'm hoping for about 10+ chapters as there is a lot to this story but I'm excited for it! (please stick around! i'm really into it so i'll update rather quickly)
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail (if i did; Gajeel & Levy would be cannon even though I already think they are)
& I don't own Chobits; No this is not a cross-over . There's just a small reference.
enjoy!
"Lucy! Lucy!"
Levy cried out from her room before peering out into the hallway when her blonde friend didn't answer.
"Lucy?"
Levy kept calling out before lazily slumping onto her sheet-less bed. Foot-steps could be heard making their way quickly up the stairs making the blunette open one eye.
"Levy?!"
Lucy practically screamed while reaching the end of the hallway and running into the blunette's room.
"Lev? What's wrong Lev?"
Lucy walked in trying to catch her breath at her bedside while Levy was still lying in bed.
"Luuuuccccyyy."
Levy groaned while turning her body rolling over to face the blonde.
"I can't find the boxes full of my books…"
She wore a sad expression while the blonde scowled at her.
"Is this really why I rushed up here?!"
Lucy crossed her arms.
"But it's important to me, therefore it should be to you too."
The blunette lazily rolled over onto her stomach as if already defeated from disappointment.
Lucy sighed while shaking her head.
"I purposefully set those boxes in the front of the moving van so you'd actually help me unpack the necessary ones and maybe avoid all of this."
Lucy pointed to Levy laying down, she knew she'd give up so easily.
Just as she finished speaking, Levy's eye twitched at her friend's cruel actions yet sprang up from her bed as if she'd had just ingested one too many energy drinks.
Quickly, her motivation for moving those boxes in the apartment were those books.
A few hours later, Levy and Lucy laid on their new couch in their new apartment. Not much had been completed in the way of unpacking as they were surrounded by boxes stacked higher than them. A recent move had brought the girls to this point into Magnolia. The pair of best friends had been talking about moving in together one day practically since the moment they meet a few years back the first day of high school. Now the time had finally came, they graduated high school and their first year of college was starting in a week.
The pair decided on living off campus partially in fact that Levy had way too many books and Lucy had way too many articles of clothing. They both agreed that they couldn't possibly share a small dorm room with all of their items they insisted on bringing along. Their rather large two floor apartment had been kindly paid for by Lucy's father. He offered to pay for all their needs also yet they couldn't in all good conscious accept it. The girls then decided on getting part-time jobs in order for them to pay for their on necessities; For Levy: well if you call trying to collect every book ever written a necessity.
Luckily, they found employment in the same location so just like best friends, they'd be together most of the time. They couldn't picture being separated in their adult years.
-Fairy Tail was the place they would soon start their first day at. It was a fairly large and popular restaurant/cafe specializing in Japanese cuisine. The thing that made Fairy Tail a bit different was the waitresses, they were always either in cosplay or cute 'uniforms.'
The two moved in a day before they were to start work but once morning rolled around was when the nerves began to kick in.
"Levy, let's get going!"
Lucy called out from down stairs patiently, not so patiently, waiting for Levy to finish getting dressed. Slowly, Levy made her way down the stairs.
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea…"
Levy finally showed up in her black Lolita inspire dressed she bought resembling Freya from Chobits. Aside from the matching black headband with ears, the blunette decided not to change her hair as she was too proud of her unique color. A bit self-conscious, she kept pulling down the hem of her dress in the front.
"Don't be ridiculous! You look so cute, it fits you perfectly!"
Unbeknownst to Levy, she looked amazing in the gothic dress that curved accentuating her already perfect petite body. She never gave herself enough credit, even when Lucy would point out how her ass was even nicer in that dress joking about how she'd earn larger tips.
Lucy gave her a bright smile trying to reassure her friend while Levy sighed looking down at her small feet in her knee high socks along with black flats.
"Of course it still fits…I bought it years ago for Halloween…"
She fidgeted with her fingers while trying not to stare at how good Lucy look/filled out her outfit.
Lucy had opted to be Chi in order to match her best friend. Her slim hour glass body along with large bust filled out her pink Lolita dress like a glove. Her long blonde hair also came in handy when finishing the look.
The blonde's sweet expression suddenly shifted for a moment.
"Be quite Lev!"
Lucy stood behind Levy slowly pushing her out of the door objecting to every one of her friend's plea to just stay home.
-Fortunately (unfortunately for Levy) their apartment had been perfectly located between their job and school. They decided on walking to both school and work as much as possible in order to avoid the dreaded 'freshmen fifteen' they knew would catch up to them. The part that the blunette dreaded was the constant stares and cat calls they received in their adorable outfits.
"Just a bit more…so close…"
Levy spoke to herself while trying to ignore the stares while Lucy happily skipped along til they reached the front entrance.
-Fairy Tail.
Lucy happily opened the door for Levy allowing her to walk in and take in the whole environment.
The relaxed atmosphere made them feel almost at home immediately as they looked around noticing the wait staff. Everyone was so upbeat in their outfits almost dancing along to the music being played.
A white haired woman suddenly approached the two.
"Hello and welcome to Fairy Tail. You two must be our new members?"
A warm almost motherly smile she gave them and they returned.
"Yes!"
Levy and Lucy spoke in unison now finally excited to start their day.
"Perfect. Now follow me and we'll start orientation."
A large bundle tossed and turned underneath the blankets in a dim lit room. They were suddenly pushed aside and onto the floor in one fail swoop as a loud yawn escaped the long haired man's lips while he stretched. Fumbling for his phone, he found it on the floor on top of his blanket. His eyes slowly adjusted to the light before he saw the time. The time read '9 am' and this shocked him forcing him to quickly force himself up even though his body told him to remain in bed.
"Oi, salamander."
The long haired man kicked in his roommate's door paying no regard to just turning the doorknob. He walked over to the pink haired man who somehow sometime in the night, ended up asleep on the floor beside his bed. With one swift kick to his stomach, the man on the floor jumped up now fully awake.
"What did you do that for metal head?!"
-The taller man received his nickname from the way too many to count piercings.
"You didn't wake me up like I told you to last night. Almost over slept past work."
Natsu rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes while unlocking his phone, the bright light was too much that morning because he struggled to read the time.
"It's an hour til. Should've just let you stayed asleep."
Gajeel spoke while grumbling under his breath while walking out of his room.
"Did you wake Gray up?"
Natsu questioned while still a bit wobbly on his feet from being woken up so suddenly.
"Nah. He had to go in early so he left a few hours ago."
"Damnit, he could have woken us up!"
The two ran out of their shared home about half an hour later after quick showers and after rushing to find proper clothing through piles of what they called 'clean clothes.'
They packed into Natsu's car making their way to their shared workplace, - a nearby fitness studio.
The two men ran in to their positions barely punching the clock in time.
"Too close."
Natsu sighed before going their separate ways.
-Gajeel: the advanced kickboxing instructor. He started training from a young age with his grandmother of all people when he was about five years old. –His grandfather passed a year before he was born and she felt the need to teach her rowdy grandson her late husband's favorite thing to do. Almost twenty years later, Gajeel was basically a professional so the job came natural. After finishing high school, he jumped almost instantly into that job.
-Natsu: basically the same case as Gajeel. After high school he was offered a position along with Gajeel yet he was a kendo instructor. It didn't come as much of a shock, throughout his youth, he'd go around picking fights whenever he could. Yet through management, he turned his fighting skills into something a bit less destructive and hurtful.
A few hours of hard work passed by and the two ended up in the break room taking a quick break.
"Oi snowflake."
Gajeel slightly waved along with Natsu towards the raven haired man who walked in.
Gray – He worked at the gym next door. He was the swimming instructor who was infamously known to set the water at a ridiculously cold temperature only he could endure.
Gray swaggered in from all the swimming he found relaxing before taking a seat. He had a draped towel around his neck and not much else aside from swimming trunks. He was never in much clothes to begin with.
"Hey after this we should go to Fairy Tail…I'm starving."
Natsu spoke up while taking a bite of his sandwich stuffing it in his mouth.
"Fairy Tail? Sounds pretty lame to be honest."
Gajeel grunted at his suggestion before ripping open his bag of chips moving it away just in time from Natsu as he tried to reach in and steal some.
"Nah. I used to think so too but the girls are worth it, trust me."
Gray leaned back in his chair laying his hands behind his head.
"Eh? You don't say… Gi hi. We'll have to go after work then."
5:00 pm.
"So ladies, that's basically how everything works around here."
The white haired woman who identified herself as Mirajane – Mira for short- spoke with a soft tone and smile.
"Don't stress too much about it though. Tomorrow you two officially start. I know you'll do great and one last thing…welcome to the Fairy Tail family."
Mira cheerfully spoke while the blonde and blunette smiled back thanking her.
-The two spent the day learning basically the ins and outs of the restaurant excluding cooking. Levy and Lucy's last 'small' fire at home put them way out of the running for that position.
The restaurant while fairly large, was short staffed and this is why everyone had to learn a little about everything. Everyone was either family or grew up with each other which in the end, were still considered family. Luckily, Levy's brother Jellal put in a good word in though he never was there personally. Jellal worked as the finance manager for Fairy Tail along with the woman who he just referred to as 'just his friend' Erza. Even though they already had a son together, they were one odd but undeniably cute couple.
In the end, they were happy to be part of the wait staff. The job suit both of them quite well because of their friendly demeanors and undeniably cute faces, they were a perfect new addition to the line of beautiful ladies.
Lucy and Levy settled on remaining at the café for a bit longer after their shift to get a bite to eat before heading home. The girls sat at the counter while Mira served them both strawberry smoothies.
"What did you think of our first day?"
Lucy questioned while taking a sip of her drink.
"Aside from my outfit, it seems like so much fun here! Yet let's wait until tomorrow and see how it goes before thanking Jellal."
The pair laughed attracting Mira to them once more.
"I heard Jellal, so I just have to ask..."
Mira leaned in between the girls.
"How exactly did you two get Jellal to pull some strings here?"
-They quickly would learn that Mira was the main gossip who just had to know every detail about everyone.
The white haired barmaid winked and giggled implying something else. The action caused Levy to choke on her smoothie making Lucy uncontrollably laugh. Levy waved her arms in front of her deflecting any suspicious thought Mira might have had.
"It's nothing like that! He's my brother."
Lucy wiped the tears from her eyes that collected due to her laughter.
"Oh dear me, I should've noticed, that blue hair. He didn't tell me though."
Mira looked almost sad and mad at the same time from being left out of such information. Her expression quickly changed though while she gasped coming to another realization.
"Lucy! You have something with Jellal don't you? You two would look so cute together!"
Mira held her hands together spacing off while picturing the odd couple.
"Well…"
Lucy trailed off imagining herself with him making Levy playfully push her.
"It's nothing like that, we come in a package, 2 for 1 deal basically."
The pair of best friends laughed at their own silly joke.
Not wasting any more time, she continued to poke at their love lives.
"Then who are the lucky men?"
Mira looked at them as if she just needed to know, to get some information out of them. The two nervously looked at each other; they both never had boyfriends as they attended an all-girls high school. When it came to Levy, an on lookers would be taken care of by Jellal. –Nobody would dare to touch or even look at his hair mini-me in the wrong way.
"We're both kind of single."
-painfully single.
Levy blurted out before blushing at Mira's initial shock.
"Really? Surly two cuties would be taken."
The white haired barmaid spoke placing her chin in her hands almost disappointed unable to hear the juicy details that come with a relationship.
The three remained a while longer conversation over the food that Mira's boyfriend Freed cooked up.
They lost track of time for a good hour before Lucy pulled out her phone noticing the time.
"Oh no! We really should get going and at least unpack sheets for the beds. Last night was not as comfortable as I would have wanted our first night would be."
The blonde and blunette slightly shivered at the thought of their rather sleepless night.
"You're not done unpacking?"
Mira questioned.
"No. our living room is over taken by boxes at the moment."
Both girls sighed.
"If you can wait, we'll all come over and help on Saturday when the café is closed."
Mira kindly offered.
Lucy almost jumped up hugging the older woman to thank her but opted on keeping her first impression a good one.
"Thank you so much!"
Levy and Lucy said sweetly while getting up from their seats.
"You're welcome! And get home safely, text me when you get there."
"Will do! Good night."
The two girls walked towards the exit.
From the opposite direction, the trio of Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel finished parking their car on the side of the building in the parking lot.
"So maids?"
Gajeel questioned Gray during the ride over but wanted to know more of what he was getting himself into. Anywhere pretty girls were, he'd be the first one there but pretty girls in cosplay outfits? He'd run through hell to be there.
"Sometimes maids sometimes nurses, but always pretty skimpy outfits."
A smirk appeared on both of the men's faces because of the naughty thought of women with way too short skirts riding up to the point where they'd be able to peak at their panties. Natsu on the other hand, walked along oblivious and only really caring about the good food they had available, other things came secondary.
"Let's hurry then, gi hi."
With girls flooding his mind, Gajeel quickly walked up to the front entrance not wasting any more time day dreaming about it.
Through the glass door, he noticed a blonde haired girl approach the door about to push it open. Gajeel beat her to it and opened the door for her allowing her to walk out first.
"Thank you."
Lucy said thanking him for his courtesy.
"Yer welcome."
He replied about to walk in before stopping himself noticing a shorter girl, barley up to his pecs, with blue hair walk out behind her.
"Thank you."
Levy said sweetly looking up at the man for a moment before bowing and rushing out in order to catch up to Lucy.
He caught a glimpse of her angelic face, pale skin with adorable large eyes that quickly pierced right through his once iron heart.
Her sudden rush past him along with her short height, brought her scent up to him. The scent of sweet lavender that she left in her wake, he breathed her scent in making him take a second look at the petite girl who was now walking up the street beside her friend.
The sight of her in her outfit made him chuckle to himself before obviously staring at how good she looked in it from behind.
Gajeel stood holding the door watching her walk away leaving behind the image of bright blue hair in his head.
"Hey Gajeel, what's wrong?"
Natsu asked while noticing the stupid grin he wore while he looked away. It was almost like a cupid personally shot him with the puppy love arrow only to tease him with a quick glance.
Let me know if you like the story!
I didn't want them meeting so quickly so i just gave a quick tease.
also; there will be a lot more NaLu; Natsu is a bit more oblivious so it was hard to squeeze them into this chapter but defiantly a lot more upcoming (had to write my main otp first - Gajevy;; a bit biased)
There will be some later Gruvia & Jerza!
I couldn't find how to sneak in their ages into the story but if anyone wants a reference.
Levy - 18
Lucy - 18
Gajeel - 22
Natsu - 22
Gray - 22
I know Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Levy are either the same or around the same age (oops; i forget specifically; pretty sure they're all 18 by now with the time skip.) but it fills the purpose of this story!
