Gajeel hated everything about working on Fridays, the gym was always full of soccer moms. Perverted super moms who requested him overtime they needed something. He hated these ladies. They hit on him like they weren't his mothers age, and made promises of making him their little boy coworkers thought it was hilarious, Gajeel thought it was hell. He went through this with them every week, they all suddenly forgot how to use a treadmill, yeah because hitting the on button was so fucking hard.
Some of them made promises to bring their daughters next time, and one lady insisted he would be perfect for his son. Gajeel always groaned at that one, weren't moms supposed to keep their kids away from guys like him. Gajeel wondered if this is what girls felt like, he's punched more than a few guys in the face for catcalling towards Juvia. Why did people have to be such fucking creeps, especially these cougars, didn't they have anything better to do?
After being sexually harassed most of his shift he was glad it was almost over, he was gonna snap the next time one of those Pervy soccer moms pulled his hair one actually had the balls to pinched his ass, and tell him he was doing a good job. His phone started vibrating in his pocket and his first though was what the fuck did Rogue do now? "Shrimp?" He did his best to hide just how excited he was that Levy was calling him right now, maybe that meant they could hang out later. He wouldn't mind being around a normal woman, after being stalked by a group of predators.
"There are eight gossip hungry girls outside my house, and they're going to get in because Lucy has my spare key!" She was trying to whisper at the same time. Gajeel was laughing at her pain, he only had to deal with a talking to from Juvia, and that was bad enough. Seven other women and Gajeel would have chewed his own leg off to escape.
Gajeel could just imagine it now Levy trying to hide under the window in her house pretending like she wasn't home. She was small he was sure she could find a good hiding place while her friends ransacked her house looking for it. "That sounds absolutely terrible shrimp, I hope you have fun in hell." He could imagine how mad she was going to be when this was done and over with, not to mention it was his fault she was in this situation in the first place. Evergreen being her nosy self asked him what was going on with him and Levy and instead of telling her nothing, he told her to mind her own damn business. She would probably come for revenge and yell at him, but Gajeel wasn't about to deal with a bunch of squealing women.
"If you don't help save me right now, they're gonna break me in under five minutes and be on their way to you next. And Gajeel I won't skimp on the details, and one of them is Juvia so they'll know where to find you." His smile dropped on that bit of information, he was going to call Juvia out for her traitorous ways. Gajeel already had a bunch of old women annoying him at work, he didn't need a bunch of young squealing ones too.
"Okay, okay. I'm at my work right now, but if you can escape just hide out at my house until the heat clears."
That was one hell of a wake up call, Levy had about sixteen text messages from Lucy and the girls this morning and one from Juvia telling her to run. She barely had time to pull on a jacket and some yoga pants before sneaking out the back door and climbing into her neighbors yard. She felt like she was in the clear once she made it to Gajeel's house. When she caught her breath she finally called Lucy back and told her she went downtown with her mom today and wouldn't be back until tonight. She kept avoiding Lucy's question of "Do you have anything to tell me?"
She tried faking bad cell phone service but Lucy wouldn't let her off the phone until she promised to come over later so they could talk. Maybe by then she could figure out what she needed to tell her, Lucy wasn't going to be happy with a I'm kind of seeing someone right now. Levy knew this was going to turn in to a sleep over from hell, and she was going to put it off as long as she could.
She finally called Gajeel back. "God you run fast." Levy probably looked insane running the six blocks to Gajeel's house. This is not how she planned spending her day off, waking up early just to run a marathon.
She found the key to the basement right where he said it was, she wasn't going to admit she had a hard time reaching it, but she finally got in. "Nobody should be home right now, but if Rogue does he won't bother you. But if he comes in my room... End him."
Levy laughed at that, she could imagine Gajeel throwing a fit about Rogue being in his room. He told her to make herself at home but not to go through his shit or he was going to come over her house and get payback, but that just made her want to do it more. It was already 11:30 and he promised to be home in an hour. That meant she had more than enough time to snoop.
After a while she started to feel bad and decided to watch tv instead. She was jealous of how big his room was, she barely had space in hers with all of her books. Gajeel seemed to have his own mini apartment down here. She reminded herself to look around better later so she could move stuff around without him accusing her of being nosy. She was starting to wonder why someone needed a bed this big, but then thought about the fact Gajeel was over six feet tall. She felt swallowed up by the many pillows on his bed, and was starting to wonder if she would have sat on the couch instead.
She blushed when she discovered his black sheets were silky, how somebody slept said a lot about someone, and apparently Gajeel slept in style. The central air was on and she was a little bit cold, but she thought Gajeel coming home to her all snuggled up in his bed would be a little weird.
After about ten minutes she heard someone coming down the stairs and she thought maybe Gajeel got off of work early. "Do I even wanna know?" Levy paled when she realized it was rogue standing at the bottom of the stairs.
She thought about what Gajeel said earlier about killing rogue if he came in his room. She was pretty sure rogue knew how Gajeel felt about that too, from the look on his face he knew he was busted, and it was only matter of time before Gajeel found out. "I didn't see you, you didn't see me?"
Rogue raised an eyebrow which reminded her so much of Gajeel but they would probably both be annoyed of she mentioned it. "Deal." Rogue walked back upstairs without getting whatever he came down there for and decided to try again later when there wasn't a witness. He was pretty bummed because he wanted to wash his hair and Gajeel had the best shampoo.
