Things you said over the phone
A/N: So this is an AU where Gajeel works in an auto shop and levy is going to college. They live together in an apartment near campus
Gajeel awoke from his deep sleep to hear is phone ringing on the nightstand. He was unable to get to this phone in time so he pick up the phone and was shocked to see that he had 4 missed calls from Levy is the last 10 minutes. Just as he was getting ready to hit the call back button Levy beat him to the punch. Gajeel side the green answering button across the screen and placed it to his ear
"Hey, shrimp, what's going on? I thought you were staying over at Lucy's tonight." just then he heard Levy sniffling like she had just finished crying. "Levy? Hey what's wrong?" he said siting up in bed.
"Gajeel! Oh thank god, I was so worried that you weren't going to pick up! I'm so scared and I don't know what to do. My car's back driver's side tier blew and none of the towing companies are open. We are in the middle of no fucking were. Lucy and I can't get the jack on the car. Natsu isn't picking up his phone. I'm really fucking scared! It's dark and cold; I have no idea what we are going to do. And-" Gajeel cut Levy off
"Babe, chill out okay. You are going like a million miles a minute. Now just take a deep breath and tell me where you are. I'll come and change it for you." Gajeel could hear Levy's breathing start to even out as she took slower and deeper breathes.
"Okay, hang on." Levy told him. Gajeel got up and threw on some jeans and a plain white shirt, then put on a light jacket. "Okay Lu said that we are about a mile down old route 10. We were heading to the gas station to get some soda…so we are facing south."
Levy said to him as he slipped on his boots "Alright, shrimp that's only about 10 minutes from here. So I'll be there soon okay, how bad is the tier?" Gajeel heard the wind pick up over on Levy's end of the phone
"Oh my god!" Levy screamed and Gajeel heard one of the car doors open "Lu get in the car it is way to cold! Gajeel is on his way!" the door shut and another door opened and closed in a matter of seconds "I'm sorry Gajeel what did you say?"
Gajeel hoped into his truck and started the engine and quickly pulled out of the parking garage. "I said how bad is it? Does it just need patch work or is it blown?"
"Um.." Levy started "I think it'll just need to be patched. We may have just hit a nail or something." Levy finished, stating up the car. "This is the worst day to be stuck out here."
Gajeel laughed, "It'll be okay Shrimp, I'm on my way. I'll take your tier into the shop tomorrow when I go into work and get it patched up." Gajeel said turning down the one of the backcountry roads.
"Crap I forgot you have work tomorrow. I'm sorry Gajeel, if I had remembered I wouldn't have called you. We would have kept trying Natsu." Levy said looking over at Lucy who had finally given up on getting ahold of he boyfriend, who sleeps like a rock, and wouldn't wake up if there was a tornado outside the window.
"Levy, it's fine. It's not that late and beside what was he going to do? Not like he could drive while throwing up."
"Yeah I guess you're right." Levy said still feel a little guilty about waking him up so late into the night.
"Oh look now he decides to call back" Lucy said to her best friend
"Just tell him that we are okay, Gajeel shouldn't be much longer I don't think." Levy told her
"Babe I'll be there in about 5 minutes okay? Just say in the car and stay warm, when I get there you two can hope in the truck while I change the tier." Gajeel told the small bluenette.
"Thank goodness. Okay we will stay right here, I'll keep the lights on so you can see us. Thank you Gajeel, you're the best boyfriend ever!" she said turning her lights on bright.
"Gee Hee no problem, shorty. I'm turning onto that road now. I'll see you soon" Gajeel said as he started to slow down to make sure he didn't miss Levy's small car.
"Okay, I love you." Levy told him
"I love you too, short stuff." Gajeel hung up his phone and smiled to himself.
"I'm just happy she's okay."
