Words that melt iron
Chapter 9
Levy was now in her office trying,and failing , to stop thinking about Gajeel .
" Oh for crying out lout get out of my head you idiot!" Levy yelled to her brain " guh why him of all people ? " she asked herself again, she figured out by now that she had maybe developed the tinniest crush on the tall dark handsome man, maybe not so tinny crush, she had nothing to do right now to pass the time , she finished what little Makarov asked her to do , and nothing could keep her thoughts at bay right now, " perhaps a cup of coffee will help " she said to herself and got up , slowly going to the coffee maker in the kitchen, where she encountered a familiar face.
" Hey Erza, when did you guys get back ? " Levy asked the taller woman " just now, it was a simple job, just some kid playing with matches and setting some grass on fire " Erza said quickly explaining things making Levy nod in understanding "I see...so where is the rest ? " Levy asked not seing anyone else in the room.
"They are all outside cleaning the fire truck from their reckless driving " Erza said " but Erza didn't you drive it ? " Levy asked making Erza stiffen " I-I was ...it was their fault...so are you and Gajeel dating ? " Erza asked trying to chance the topic , making Levy blush " what? no , no w-why would you think that ? ! " Levy asked trying hard not to blush more then she already is " I just thought with the way you were looking at each other that you were in a romantic relationship " Erza said bluntly making Levy's face brighter than her hair " WE WERE NOT ! " Levy yelled completely embarrassed "huh, my mistake " Erza said with a normal tone "I-I'l go help the guys with the truck " Levy said finally, trying to escape the awkward conversation "alright I shall see you later " Erza said and Levy rushed out of the room and outside.
When Levy got outside where the rest of the crew was she was met with a sight that was odd, but not unpleasant in any way. The girls were by the side watching and relaxing while the boys were washing the truck, shirt-less, even tho Gray wasn't unusual , seing Elfman, Alzac, Laxus ( who she met with Makarov) and Gajeel half naked was surprising, all of the guys had nice and buff bodies, some more then others, but by her standards the best looking by far was Gajeel, he wasn't to big like Elfman, and he was more muscular then Alzac, the perfect middle, the big bulging muscles flexing with his every move ... STOP, she yelled at herself mentally, she had to stop thinking like that and she had to stop this silly little crush of hers.
"Levy, hey , what are you doing here ? " asked her Lissana , sweet girl, and Elfman's younger sister " oh nothing, thought you needed some help " Levy answered her " great Shrimp, we could use some help " said Gajeel , or more like yelled "I wasn't talking to you ! " Levy yelled back as Gajeel started to approach her " well I don't care , you said you wanted to help, so here you go " Gajeel said and put a bucked with water and a sponge in her arms, he then turned around and started walking back toward the truck, Levy huffed but followed after him.
They started cleaning in silence, only a light murmurs were herd in the distance " Levy can you hold this hose and wash the left side, I need to call Bisca " Alzac asked her and she nodded taking the hose and washing down the soap from the truck.
" Isn't that to big for you little girl " mocked a voice to her right " no, big pain in the but " Levy answered making the man snicker " oh Shorty, that hurt , you are so mean, so it is true what they say about poison coming in small vials gihihi " Gajeel laughed , Levy couldn't take it anymore, she turned around to give him a peace of her mind, but she forgot about the hose in her arms, so when she turned around to hose sprayed Gajeel with ice cold water, making him completely wet.
"Oh my God Gajeel I am so sorry, I didn't mean to do that " Levy said rushing to his side , not seing the evil smirk on his face " I really am sorry " she said again as she was in front of him " it's alright Shorty "Gajeel said bending slightly and lifting his water bucket " It is perfectly alright... " Gajeel said and then dumped the bucket on her head making her as wet as he was " G-Gajeel ! you , you IDIOT , I said I was sorry ! " Levy yelled getting the attention of everybody present as they started chasing each other , throwing water and soap .
"They act like an old married couple " Laxus said with a sneer " marriage is manly ! " yelled Elfman " oh yeah, then why don't you propose to Evergreen already " Laxus said back making the 'manly' Elfman blush and stutter. After Gajeel and Levy stopped chasing and bickering, and the truck was washed, they all sat down in the living room/kitchen/dining room with the exception of Gajeel and Levy who were still outside trying to dry themselves on the late afternoon sun.
"Uhh, this is all your fault you know ! " Levy said to Gajeel , her dress wasn't that wet anymore, it was more damp " I wasn't the one who started it, as I remember it was you who made the first move with that hose " Gajeel said making Levy hmp , but before she could retort her stomach started growling making her blush.
"Gajeel " Levy started " what? "he asked " can you make some pancakes? " Levy asked using her puppy eyes " what, no " Gajeel said sternly making Levy pout "fine then give me a recipe and I'l make them " she said " nice try small fry but it is not happening" Gajeel said " oh please Gajeel make me pancakes, I want pancakes ! " Levy begged making Gajeel sign in frustration "gees alright, stop with your whining I'l make you damn pancakes " Gajeel said and started walking inside, he was dry by now, and the only reason he was with the shrimp was, well he liked to be around her, but he will never admit to such a ridiculous thing.
When they got inside, and in to the kitchen they saw only a note on the table that said ' we went somewhere, be back in half an hour at most ' , after reading it and throwing it in the trash he went and started making his special pancake mix while shorty was watching TV to occupy herself.
About twenty minutes later he was done with the first batch and he called Shrimp to dig in.
"Mmm, I can't believe you aren't some world famous chef or something " Levy said after finishing her first pancake " I could have been, but this job makes me happy " Gajeel said after putting down the pan and starting on his own pancakes " why did you decide to become a firefighter ?" Levy asked him " my father was a firefighter, but one time he couldn't help this child that was trapped in the fire, it broke him, so he left this life and became a lawyer, I decided one day that I will became a firefighter, and that I unlike my father, will never give up. I always looked up to him, but when he quit, I decided to be better, and stronger, to protect . " Gajeel said making Levy understand him a little more, she got up and walked to his side , even while he was sitting they were about the same hight , so she got closer and closer, and then she hugged him " that is so brave of you " she whispered in his ear,Gajeel was frozen, but after the initial shock he slowly put his hands around her, and they shared one embrace before they were so rudely interrupted by a cough .
"Gajeel I see you made pancakes" Erza said as she and the rest of firefighters and staff got in, Gajeel and Levy let go of each other like they were on fire and blushed profusely "uh, yeah I did " Gajeel said " excellent, tho I doubt that it will be enough for all of us, why don't you make some more" Erza suggested, more like threatened, Gajeel "yes miss " Gajeel said, you do not say no to Erza if you want to live "good, and Levy would you be a dear and bring us some syrup " Erza asked and Levy nodded "it's just down the hall,first door on the right , can't miss it, just don't close the doors, it can get stuck easily" Erza said and Levy did as she was asked,
when she got in the room she was told about, the pantry it would seam, she got a text, it was a miracle her phone survived the water damage, but she was glad that it did. She got it out of her secret pocket, and after she answered the text from her mother asking how her day is, she put the phone on the shelf and started searching for the syrup, about a minute later she found it on the highest shelf, and as she couldn't reach it , even on her tippy toes she started climbing the shelf "almost there" Levy said to herself, she stretched a bit more, and finally grabbed the bottle, she lost her balance and almost fell down, but at the last minute she regained her balance and landed safely on the floor "that was close" she said to herself and got out of the room, delivering the strawberry flavour syrup to Erza.
"Ahh strawberry, my favourite, thank you Levy " Erza said and Levy smiled , before remembering that she left her phone in the pantry "I'l be right back, I left my phone there" Levy said and went to retrieve her phone .
Gajeel was trying to make enough pancakes for everyone , but he soon found out that he needed more flour "Ice princess bring me some flour" Gajeel yelled at Gray "get it yourself metal head " Gray yelled back and Gajeel growled before going to the pantry.
as he got in in the quite spacious pantry he noticed something small and shrimpy in front of him as he approached her he felt a gust of wind before he herd the doors behind him close with a deafening sound, making both Levy and Gajeel turn around to the sudden noise, and they knew...they were locked inside...
A/N ok this was longer chapter, not that much, but it was longer, I am sorry but I am sick, and don't really feel good, so what do you think will happen now, and who locked them in there, you will find out next week , and if you can leave me a review, if you can't it is OK, thank you all for reading :-)
