Pt. 1- Fateful Meeting and Unpacking
Gajeel
I sigh as I finish typing away at my screen and sigh as I lean back. I can't believe this. After all the years I've been writing I finally meet what I thought couldn't happen… GOD DAMN WRITER'S BLOCK! I want to punch something as I look over my story and can't seem to figure out why the story seemed to get anywhere. I don't want too keep writing or give up… I haven't done anything fun for a while maybe I'll do something like that.
I get up from my chair as I look around my boxed up apartment. It's been a while since I moved in, but I know that everything is still in boxes against the wall the only things that are out is the furniture and my TV. I wonder what happened to me. I used to be a lot more OCD about things. Though I haven't killed my cat yet or forgotten about it's care the year I picked it up from the streets.
I look around as I call out to him, "Pantherlily."
I call out to him a few more times and there's nothing too be seen I sigh when I notice that I had left the window by the fire escape open yet again. He must have gotten outside oh well he was originally a stray too begin with. Since my cat isn't here to play I guess I'll go outside the apartment for today. I need some good stretching anyways.
I'm walking out of my apartment when I notice short messy blue hair on kid who's carrying a heavy box I run over too her too grab it. She sighs I guess from me taking the weight off of her hands she looks over at me and gasps. Her eyes are wide and I'm not sure if it's from fear or surprise. I mean I am a 6' 5" guy with piercings all over my body, a scarred up arm, and i've been told my red eyes are scary.
It's too silent so I decide to break it by asking the shorty a question, "Shorty, are you moving in with your parents?"
The look on her face almost makes me laugh with hos she pouts up at me, "I'm not a child. I'm 21 for crying out loud."
I chuckle as I look her over, "So doesn't mean you still live with them."
"No, I'm helping my friend move in with her boyfriend on this floor now hand me the box."
This girl is surprising. I thought when she first looked at me she would be kind, innocent, and maybe a bit of a baby, but she seems to be a spitfire with a pretty hot attitude.
"Levy, don't piss off Metal head," I hear the voice of Flame Brain call over.
"Metal head?" She asks confused as she slips the box back into her hands.
I don't move my eyes away from her as Flame Brain says something else. I can't help it. Her expressions and emotions have me gazing at her. This girl is like something from a fairy tail… almost like an adorable fairy. I like that. Though I also take notice at how this small little thing is trying to keep the heavy box in her hands.
I quickly swipe it from her again and say too Flame Brain, "Why are you having Shorty carry such a heavy box?"
I try to keep my twitch too myself as I looked up too see him shrug, "She grabbed it."
I watch as a Blondie whack him on the back of his head as she looks over at him with blazing brown eyes. I watch the pink hair guy look at the woman and sigh quitting while he's ahead I guess. Though now that I think about it that girl is his girlfriend if I remember a few mornings ago.
"Natsu, your neighbor is right? I go too grab us all some lunch and coffee and you let Levy grab one of the heaviest boxes."
"What she grabbed it cause it read books," he tries to defend himself and I bet she'd hit him again if lil blue didn't clear her throat.
"Lucy, I'm sorry I had just grabbed a box it didn't seem all that heavy."
Liar, you are so easy to read.
The fight is cut short as I speak up, "Flame Brain, I'm gonna drop this at your front door and don't have the girls carry any of the boxes in a man should do it for them."
I watch as the girls smile at me I simply nod and go too toss the box in their apartment. Though as I drop off the box and turn around lil blue is right there in front of me.
I watch as she look up at me with large hazel eyes and a large smile on her face, "Thank you, Mr…."
"Gajeel," I manage to grunt out, "my name is Gajeel. If Flame Brain tries to have you ladies carry anymore boxes just tell me and I'll beat him in line for you."
I watch as she laughs almost like a fairy that I saw in a show as a kid, "Why do I have a feeling that you just want to beat Natsu up though, Gajeel."
I watch as this small twinkle stays in her eyes as she walks past me, "Thank you for saving me back there with the box… twice at that."
I manage to say, "It's nothing."
She smiles as I walk by her and she calls out, "By the way my name's Levy."
I walk past Flame Brain and his girl too the elevator and as the doors close I mutter to myself with a small smile to my face, "Levy huh."
I had decided upon Chinese food and some working out at the gym for the day, but that was hours ago and I'm finally making it home for the day glad my editor hasn't called me just yet. I shiver a bit at the thought of Juvia's somewhat annoying voice trying to boss me around though we're no longer kids that grew up together. I even wonder how my lil sister is doing, Not that I'm worried for Wendy she's a big girl of 12 years old and I've taught her a lot about fighting maybe while I'm in this block I'll go visit her.
I look up too find myself at my apartment and too see the lil blue fairy exiting the building. I chuckle to myself as I watch her try to fix her shoulder bag. I manage to open the door and hear her let out a startled scream.
As she looks up she smiles at me, "Oh it's just you Gajeel. Thanks."
"Where are you going shorty?"
"Home, what else," she answers in a teasing tone.
I give her a have grin at her remark as I say, "It's a bit late for that."
She looks around taking note of the no taxis and how the streets are dark and barren.
She mutters to herself, "Those 2 idiots."
"You should stay with those 2 idiots tonight and head home tomorrow?"
"No, I couldn't do that too them. Also I think they already started their own lil world. I don't mind walking home."
I look at her sharply as I ask, "How far do ya live?"
"A few blocks," she answers quietly.
I sigh as I look down at her as I think to myself, 'I've been writing too many fluff scenes haven't I, cause I'm gonna hate myself.'
"Come up too my apartment I'll walk you home in the morning it's too late to do that now."
She goes too argue but I give her a pointed look and she seems too follow me back inside the building. We make it back to my apartment when I realize that most of my crap besides clothing is still packed away in boxes. I should have finally started to unpack after living here for 6 months. Still now is not the time to be embarrassed.
I look around as I look at the boxes and try to lighten my embarrassment, "I bet you're tired of seeing boxes today."
I look back too see Shorty look around as she shakes her head, "Not really luckily Lucy was already practically living there we spent most of the time chatting as we had Natsu and a few other friends come over too move the boxes. I thought you'd been living here a while?" She ends up asking me confused.
"I have I just been a bit busy too unpack." It's not a lie, but it is also not the truth. Since I started writing my newer book I've been lost in it trying to make it better. I've never had to do that in my last few books, but this one feels like it's been missing such a large piece.
"That's too bad if you want I can help. It's not that late too stay up a lil bit longer."
I'd hate to have her do that, but I'm sure she'd do it anyways.
"I'd like that all my furniture is in the right place. I just need to unpack everything else," I tell her trying too make sure my voice is a bit bored sounding.
She smiles as she looks the boxes over until she reaches the books. I know I don't look like a book reading guy hell I bet I don't' look like a top selling romance author, but hell don't judge a book by the cover. Though I also have been writing more crime and horror stories in my down time enjoying those a bit more. They are published but under a different pseudonym then my more popular books. I smile as she flips through the books as she organizes them on one of my few bookshelves.
"Wow, I'm surprised with your collection you have here," she tells me as she looks over her shoulder, "these are some of my favorite authors."
I look away from her as I put my movies in a bookcase by title and theme. Still I keep peeking at her and watch as she uses one of the tables as a step stool. I watch as she organizes all the boxes of books with ease. It's barely been an hour and she finished the 'bookcase and I finished up setting my movies away.
"I think we have most of these boxes finished off."
I'm glad that all my boxes with my work in it are in my bedroom under my bed. God I treat them like porn mags. I look around when it hits me I had unpacked my kitchen items already for when i cook. So the shorty is right we do have about everything finished off. I sigh in relief as i check the time and groan at how late it is.
"You can take my bed. I'm sure I have a shirt you can borrow."
"You don't need to do that I can sleep on the couch," she tries to argue and I shake my head.
"You'll take the bed I think it's the least I can do for unpack and organizing all my books." I leave it at that as I go into my room and pull out one of my small shirt hoping it'll cover her nicely.
I toss it too her and point too my room hoping she won't get noisy, "Just go in and go too sleep I'm gonna be up a bit longer."
I wait a bit before I turn my computer on and open a new document. I look at the page, but freeze when I hear my name.
I look up too see that the shorty standing at my bedroom door in nothing else but my shirt. I take in how curvy her hips look probably my shirt is even a bit below her knees.
"What do you need?"
"Umm… Which door is your bathroom?"
"The door without the calendar on it in my bedroom is the master bathroom just use that one."
She nods her head and turns away from me walking right back into my bedroom.
I sigh as I look at the page and decide another fantasy from what's coursing through my brain a dragon and fairy love seems too be sworming. I start typing though I freeze wondering how the two fo them would even meet if it's a bit of a fantasy story.
