Hiya friends. These chapters are getting pretty far apart I know. I wish I was one of those authors who were like "alright, new chapter every Thursday" but sadly im just Hana so that's probably never going to happen... WELL ONE CAN DREAM. Thanks for reading! ~Hana
"So?" Lucy said as soon as the car doors shut.
"So what?" Levy asked.
"You know what!" Lucy didn't even try to hide her smile.
"I really don't." Levy buckled her seat belt.
"You like yoga." Lucy turned on the car. "And you like our new instructor." She smirked.
"Do you realize what you're saying?" Levy practically laughed out. "I haven't even talked to him, let alone introduced myself. Why on earth would I like him?" She asked.
"Why wouldn't you like him?" She asked.
"That-" Levy shut her mouth. No sense arguing with Lucy once she made her mind up.
"So, I have my lesson with Natsu tomorrow morning." Lucy changed the subject.
"I thought that wasn't for like a week?" Levy asked.
"Hm, you know." Was all Lucy said.
"So why does that matter? Excited to try out a new outfit or something?" Levy giggled.
"I was actually thinking blue-" Lucy said with a straight face, before smiling and laughing along with Levy.
"I think you need more pink. I mean, pink shoes, pink yoga mat, pink water bottle, iPod, key chain. And the car. But no one can have too much pink, right?" She joked. Lucy was obsessed with the girly color.
"Yeah well the day I don't need more pink is the day you give up reading books." Lucy laughed as they pulled into their driveway. "Besides, what do you really think of Gajeel!" Lucy squealed before Levy shut the car door.
"He's a good yoga instructor, kind of rough around the edges. Not really my type." Levy said."And even if he were-" Levy cut off Lucy. "I'm sure I'm not his type either, so drop it."
"Fine, fine." Lucy took out her phone as she made her way to the kitchen. She took some things out of the fridge as she scrolled through her messages. As nothing seemed to interest her, she continues to make her protein shake before promptly dropping down on the couch. "I need a boyfriend." She sighed.
"Great class today Natsu-san!" A green haired girl waved.
"Have a nice day guys!" The pink haired trainer smiled as his class filed out of the room. He grabbed his towel and water bottle and headed for the break room.
"Hey hothead." A cool voice in the direction of the fridge said.
"Gray." Natsu greeted back.
"Whats the rest of your day look like?" He asked, his head in the freezer as he searched for something.
"Uh, personal training session with a new girl, then another bike class." He thought. "I think that's it."
"Nice, I have a swim class in five then I'm off if you want to go out for drinks." He took his head out of the freezer, apparently he found what he was looking for.
"We could just get a Cana special." Natsu joked.
"Maybe, oh shit!" He looked at the clock. "More like I have a swim class in one, I gotta bounce." He smiled as he ran out of the brake room, his shirt already gone.
"See ya!" Natsu yelled. Now he had ten minutes all to himself before his training session. He didnt know much about this new girl, just that her name was Lucy. Mira had only high praise for the girl, so he assumed she would be some kind of body builder extraordinaire. Maybe someone like Erza! Actually, he hoped that wouldn't be the case.
"Lucy cmon!" Levy pleaded. "I need the car!" She yelled into the door of her best friends room.
"No you don't!" Lucy yelled from the opposite side of the barrier.
"The sale is going to end! I can get all the Game Of Thrones collection for twenty bucks, and its only today!" She cried. "Please please please please plea-" Lucy's door swung open.
"NO!" She marched to the kitchen, Levy not too far behind. "I need to go to my class, and you'll just have to walk."
"But its two hours away on foot!" Levy added.
"That's not my problem, Lev." Lucy said. "I know that its a super sale, but it'll have to wait. I cant miss this class."
"What if I drive you, and then get my books, then pick you up!" Levy hopefully asked.
"I mean..." Lucy thought about it. "I guess so..." She could never say no to Levy when it came to books.
"Yes!" Levy jumped two feet in the air. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She chanted as her arms and feet flailed about in a dance that could only be described as... Well, Levy's book dance.
"But we have to leave in five minutes, alright?" She said. "Or I'll go without you."
"Yes ma'am!" Levy fake saluted as she scrambled off to gather her things.
"And please get dressed!" Lucy added. "I know the bookstore doesn't care if you show up in pajamas, but have some self respect!" She giggled as she heard Levy ruffle through her drawers.
"Two minutes!" Lucy yelled as she played on her phone."
"Hold on, hold on!" Levy shouted down the hall. There was a moment of silence, then Levy ran down the hallway with one shoe on. She hopped into the other, and grabbed the keys from Lucy's hands. "Okay, lets go." She smiled.
"Good afternoon, Lucy." Mira smiled as the blonde walked in the front entrance.
"Hi Mira." She smiled back.
"Natsu is setting up in room T-A" She said. "Its straight, then to the left. There's four rooms, one for each trainer." Mira said. "Have a good lesson!"
"Thanks Mira." The blonde waved.
Lucy walked around the corner into a rather boring hallway. There were four doors exactly the same color with T-A, T-B, T-C, and T-D printed on them. Okay, room T-A. Once she came to it, she noticed that the door was slightly open, so she just pushed on it.
"Hello?" She asked as the door opened slowly.
"Hi!" A perky voice said, giving Lucy a scare.
"Hi." Lucy repeated as the source of the voice was revealed. Her trainer, Natsu, was rather short, not as muscular as Gajeel but was pretty up there and on top of that he had pink hair. He had pink hair.
"Im Natsu." He smiled, and extended out his hand.
"I-I'm Lucy." She cursed herself for stuttering but she was staring at his hair. You would think living with Levy she would be used to colored hair, after all it wasn't weird or anything. But she had never come across a boy with pink hair. And he was... captivating.
"So what do you want to work on today?" He asked.
"Oh, um." She mumbled uncharacteristically. "Well I've never had one of these before so I'm not sure."
"First time eh?" He smiled. "Well there's a first for everything."
"Yeah..." She smiled slightly.
Levy put the car in park in the parking lot of Fairy Gym. She was twenty minutes early on accident, and figured she would get a fruit drink at the bar inside.
"Hello Mira." Levy said as Mira looked up, almost shocked to see Levy.
"Levy!" She smiled.
"I'm not here to be active or anything." She held out her hand. "Just getting a dink, and waiting for Lucy to get out."
"That's alright, that's alright!" She smiled.
"Alright." Levy said. Mira was always friendly, and Levy wasnt sure if it were her personality or her just wanting more customers.
"Hey Levy." Cana smiled as she leaned on the bar.
"Hi." Levy hipped up on the seat. "Can I get a strawberry kiwi smoothie?" She asked.
"Cana special?" Cana asked.
"Um-" Levy was about to ask
"No, Cana." Mira cut in.
"Alright, one normal strawberry kiwi smoothie coming up." Cana hummed as she went about in her space, mixing drinks up.
Levy opened her book to the first page, careful not to crease it too early. She started reading the first paragraph before she heard a glass cup being set down next to her, and Cana saying something along the lines of "Enjoy."
She continued to get lost in the magical world of her book before she felt her mouth get dry. She felt for her drink, and pushed it towards her. She wrapped her lips around the straw, and sucked lightly. She was pleasantly surprised at the taste, very sweet yet savory. She sucked her juice happily and read on without a care in the world- so much so that she didn't notice the man sit down next to her.
"Her Cana, gimme a special." The ebony haired man said.
"No!" Mira yelled from the front desk, just feet away. "Gajeel stop asking for those" She marched over to the bar.
"C'mon Mira, don't ruin the fun!" Cana whined.
"No more Cana specials!" Mira said. "Not working hours at least." She sighed.
"Fine fine." Cana said.
"Good." Mira walked back to her desk.
"She never said anything about Cana extra specials." Cana winked at Gajeel who just laughed in response.
Cana shook up the drink and set it down with a casual 'drink up'.
"Thanks." He smiled as he took a sip. He could defiantly feel the alcohol in it, it was stronger than ever. He drank about until he noticed something about the girl he sat next to. She was totally engrossed in her book. She watched it intently, like a lion hunting prey. Her eyes scanned left to right at speeds unimaginable to him.
She turned the page, as the chapter seemed to have ended, she straighten her back, and cracked her neck with a pop. She let out a sigh of contentment before realizing she still had some drink left. She sucked on it happily, before noticing the presence next to hers. She turned her head slightly, still sucking on her straw.
Her brown orbs met red ones in a heated moment. Her eyes flickered across his face with minimal movements, taking him all in slowly. His black heir fell around his face, it wasn't in his normal pony tail, but she recognized him nonetheless. It was Gajeel from the yoga class.
"Hello." She said, attempting to be polite.
"Hey." He said in a shockingly deep voice. Sure she had heard his voice before but that was different. He was in class, his voice projected on a microphone across the whole room. This was up close and personal.
"My names Levy." She said, kicking her feet lightly, as they didn't come close to the ground.
"Gajeel." He said, raising an eyebrow at her. She was different than other chicks. She seemed really cool. At least her hair was. "Were you in one of my classes?" He asked, actually wanting to talk to this strange little lady.
"Advanced yoga?" Levy said almost as a question.
"Must be. I'd remember that hair." He let out a light laugh.
Levy could help but puff out her cheeks. "Well thanks, I guess." She said.
"Its totally rad." He clarified. "I like it." He smirked, and flashed a few pointed teeth.
Levy couldn't help the chills running up her spine. This man was... interesting to say the least. Not to mention he liked her hair. It wasn't everyday that someone actually appreciated her blue locks.
"So what are you reading?" He asked before taking a sip of his drink.
"Huh?" She snapped out of her gaze. "Game of Thrones." She said.
"I watch that." He said. "Easier than readin' in in my 'pinion." He said. She noticed that his words were less pronounced when he wasn't in class. She guessed he tried to make his voice clearer in class so people could understand it easier.
"I suppose." She said. "I haven't seen it."
"You haven't seen it?" He looked at her like she was crazy.
"Nope." She replied, sipping her drink.
"Do you have Netflix?" He asked.
Of course I have Netflix, its my lifeline. She thought to herself before answering with a nod, yes.
"Okay, order it." He said. "I cant believe you haven't seen it."
"I cant believe you haven't read it." She said.
"Touche."
"Well I'll watch the first episode at least." She giggled. "How about you borrow this book after me?" She asked.
"I dunno shorty." He rubbed his neck, playing off the nickname. "I mean readin' isn't my style."
"Oh? And what it?" She asked. "Lifting weights?" She asked.
"Hmph. Alright, I'll read the first one."
"Levy!" The blonde haired girl waved as she came scampering towards her friend.
"Hey Luce!" Levy smiled, and hopped off her chair. Gajeel knew she was short, but this girl barely came up to his ribs.
"Ready to go?" She asked.
"Yeah, c'mon." She grabbed her book. "See you around, Gajeel." She waved goodbye to him before leaving the gym.
"You have to tell me everything." Was all Lucy said.
