Hello FT readers! This is a short story on Gajeel and Levy, one of my favourite couples.
As I said it will be short, I don't have enough original ideas to develop a more complex story though I hope you'll enjoy it~
I don't own any character, everything is in the hands of Mashima Hiro.
1.
"I won't let you go out like this!"
"Lucy please"
A blue haired girl pleaded her friend,
"I'm already late" she said pouting and trying to convince her room-mate,
"But you are wearing brown boots with black stockings*! Don't make a step out of this house!"
Levy sighed exasperated, her best friend's fashion sense was quite irritating sometimes,
"At a book club nobody cares which colours I'm wearing, you only have to bring the book and the brain! That's all!"
"That doesn't mean you can go out wearing yellow with violet or pink with orange!"
"I could be wearing my pj and nobody would notice it!"
"Don't you ever dare to do that!"
Lucy crossed the arms over her chest and closed the door of their apartment,
"Put on the black boots, otherwise I won't let you go out"
"Are you by any chance obliging me?"
asked with a murderous look the shorter girl,
"Hell yeah! I'm doing it in the name of fashion"
"I give up, I don't want to loose the bus"
the blonde nodded happily,
"I hate you, I hate wearing high heels" said Levy grabbing the keys,
"Don't be melodramatic, seven centimetres are not high, and those are not even stiletto-like heels"
"I said I hate you."
"See you later! Smile a lot and impress the guys with your brain! And your curves!"
Levy waved her hand, disappearing down the stairs and running at the bus stop.
"Yo Gajeel! Gajeel! Gajeee–"
"I'm here, stop yelling you idiot!"
roared a man beneath a car,
Natsu's grin was wider than usual, which was always a bad thing,
"What is it?"
his gruff voice was scary, but what else made Gajeel Redfox's appearance spooky?
His most prominent features were the multiple face piercing, then his crazy long black hair and the red eyes that gave him a
punk aura. Moreover the man had a built frame which matched his height and completed his look.
"The closure is on you today~"
Sang happily the boy with pink hair, "Boss said to leave to you the keys!"
"What the fuck! I won't be closing the garage today too"
"Yes you do! Since you're the only one that doesn't go out to party!"
the black haired man grabbed a wrench and threw it at Natsu,
"You missed me metal head! See you on Monday!"
and then fell silence.
"Tch, I'd have hit you if I wanted to."
Pissed like no one in the world Gajeel went back to work on the car,
"I'll kick your ass on Monday Salamander"
"See you next week Levy!"
"Bye bye, good night!"
The girl smiled to every member of the book club and exited the library,
"Levy do want me to bring you home with my bike?"
"No thanks Droy!"
"I can walk you home if you want!"
"No need to Jet, I'll catch the bus' last drive!"
Describing Jet and Droy as good friends of Levy was an understatement, they were the epitome of doormat always ready to do
anything to please their crush without any luck.
Levy was quite aware of this, both of the guys declared their love to her throughout the years but she had refused them
countless time. She still hadn't found a way to dissuade them,
"Those two are so stubborn" she mumbled to herself,
she pulled out the phone from the pocket calling Lucy,
"Hi, I'll be home in twenty minutes, more or less"
"Jet and Droy are with you?"
"Nope"
from the other side of the phone Lucy sighed,
"Levy it's late night! It's dangerous"
"It's just half past ten! And don't worry I've already reached the bus stop"
"There are perverts and robbers around every corner in this city!"
"I've my pepper spray ready to put off any harasser and do I have to remember you who won for three times the gold metal in the 100mt race?"
"Alright, you're fast for being so short but I'm still worried!"
"I'm not that short! I'm average"
Lucy's face dropped,
"Average.. yeah"
"Don't say average with that mocking voice!"
"Write when you–"
– beepbeepbeepbeep–
the line went down,
"Ugh no it died! Bloody hell I forgot to recharge the phone! Dammit, dammit!"
as soon as she cursed she noticed that someone else was at the bus stop and surprised covered her mouth with a hand.
She turn to look who it was, slightly embarrassed about being heard swearing out loud.
It was a pretty tall and muscular guy, then he turn around catching her staring. His face was full of piercing and he had sharp red eyes, embarrassment grew as they stayed there looking at each other.
Eventually he spoke,
"I swear every five minutes. No offence taken"
he said with a serious face which totally made Levy laugh out loud relieved,
"I swear every five years"
he smirked,
"Lucky me to assist this event"
"It's a big day!" she answered still enjoying the moment.
Levy came closer, confident enough that he didn't mean to kill her,
"May I borrow your phone? My room-mate will be worried since the conversation ended suddenly"
he nodded,
"Suit yourself"
she typed super duper fast on the keyboard and press the green bottom,
"Hum she isn't answering at her phone" she typed another number,
"Lucy? It's me!"
"Oh my gosh Levy! Are you fine? Are you hostage of some maniac that kidnap you and want a ransom? I'll pay!"
"Sheesh Lucy… My phone battery died that's it"
"… ah, all right"
"See you later Lu, drink your chamomile tea please."
She handed back the phone, hoping he was clever enough to find her number saved in it.
"Bus is coming."
Here we are! I hope you like it, review if you do:)
* It might seem strange or rare but in my country matching brown and black is really uncool, we've quite strict fashion rules in mixing colours Lol
