"Gajeel?" Levy went to reach for the pacing man, but pulled her hand back. "Please, just...hold still." He ignored her and continued to pace restlessly. "GAJEEL!" His head snapped in her direction and he stopped pacing. "Come here. Let me look at you." As she crouched by her suitcase, he approached her cautiously. "Take your jacket and gloves off and sit down. I need to take a good look at you." Obeying, he shed his jacket and sat. "Your gloves, I need to look at your hands."
He seemed uneasy about taking his gloves off. "Nothin's wrong with my hands. Just some busted skin. Nothin's broken." As Levy stood, one hand on her hip and the other clutching her first aid kit, she leveled him with a stern look. "How am I supposed to put medicine on them if you won't take your gloves off?" As she sat down next to him, she reached for the snaps at his wrists. He shot to his feet and clenched his fists. "I said they're fine!"
Levy raised a brow at him. "Fine. Sit. I need to look over the rest of you." He sat and Levy opened her kit. For the first time, Levy noticed just how much metal he really had in his skin. There was a line of piercing's from each elbow to each wrist. Levy's brow furrowed, but she remained quiet. She tentatively reached towards his chest. "I...I...your vest..." Her throat was suddenly tight and her tongue was dry and felt stupid in her mouth.
"Yeah? Whatta 'bout it?" Levy quickly glanced at his face. He was smirking. "I can't see if your sides or back need tending. C-Can you...take your vest off?" Levy couldn't look at him. She knew her face was beet red. "Tch." Levy was surprised at his reaction until he spoke again. "If you wanted me to undress, you could have just asked. You didn't need to convince Monkey Boy over there to jump me."
Levy opened her mouth to protest until she realized he was smiling at her. Levy shook her head as he removed his vest. Her blush came back. Levy made an impressed face as she noticed more piercings. "My god!" Levy hadn't realized she had spoken out loud until he laughed. "No, they didn't hurt, and yes, they make foreplay so much better." Levy didn't think it was possible, but she felt herself blush more. "I...umm...well...you don't look too beat up." Levy had never known anyone to have their nipples pierced. She had read about it, but never actually seen them. She had almost looked up video's of it on the internet.
She turned her gaze to his face. Two vertical piercing's below his lip, three over each eye in place of eyebrows, 16 in each ear, and three through his nose. Levy hadn't realized she was staring at him until he spoke. "Like what you see, Shrimp?" Levy made some flustered noises as she set to work on the cuts and bruises on his face. "Not too bad. I think Bora-"
"You know him?" Gajeel had cut her off. "Yes." Levy left it at that and continued to work on him in silence. Once she had bandaged up his face as best she could, she started gently prodding his ribs. He jumped a little when she poked him. "Did that hurt? I'm sorry. They are probably bruised. There isn't anything I can do for that."
"No." Levy was confused, her face obviously showed her confusion, because Gajeel sighed. "No, it didn't hurt." It took Levy a moment to realize what he was talking about. "Oh! Wait...you're...ticklish?" Gajeel looked like he had just tasted something unsavory. "Don't tell Natsu or Gray. I'll never hear the end of it." Levy smiled. "I don't plan on telling anyone. I doubt I will ever see any of yous again."
Levy realized what she had said and grew instantly quiet. "I mean...well...I'm probably not going to follow Lu-Chan to another concert again. God knows what kind of stories will be told about my eye when I get back to campus. Lu-Chan will probably make up some wild story about my fighting some...what is the term she used? Poseur? I think that's the word Lu-Chan used. Who knows."
Gajeel reached his hand up, but put it back in his lap and sighed. As Levy was about to ask Gajeel a more in depth question, Bora moaned in pain. Levy snapped her First Aid kit closed and stood to go tend to Bora's wounds. Gajeel followed her. Kneeling beside Bora, she waited for him to open his eyes. When he did, he tried to place his hand on her cheek.
"You are in direct violation of your restraining order Bora." His jaw tensed and his eyes turned angry. He huffed and looked behind her. His eyes flew wide. "If you touch me again, I will let Gajeel finish what you tried to start. We have already notified the Guard of your violation. They should be here shortly." Levy bluffed. Bora's eyes filled with fear and he turned his head away.
Levy began poking at his ribs. "None broken, they might be cracked though." Levy bandaged his cuts and moved on to his hands. "Your left wrist is broken. Three fingers on your right hand are broken and your right shoulder is dislocated." Levy jerked his right arm quickly towards his feet. With a sickening snap, his shoulder popped back into place. "Shoulder set." Levy began working on his face. "Your nose is broken. I need to-" SNAP "-set it." Levy shoved tubes of gauze up his nostrils and taped his nose into place. "Broken eye socket. Nothing I can do for that. Luckily, the swelling will keep your eyeball in place." Levy snapped her kit closed and stood.
"Don't evercome near me again Bora." Levy turned on her heel and walked coolly to her suitcase. Putting her first aid kit back in her luggage, she turned to where Gajeel was crouched next to Bora. He was saying something, but he was speaking too softly for her to hear. "Gajeel, dear, we need to get going. We're going to miss our train." Levy hoped he didn't get the wrong idea, or wierded out at her calling him 'dear'.
Gajeel stood. He gave a last glaring look at Bora as he walked toward her. "Yes. We have to hurry. The train is leaving soon. What would I do without you, love?" As they turned to leave, Gajeel put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to his side. As they walked away, Gajeel leaned down and made like he was kissing the top of her head. "You owe me, Shrimp." Levy smiled and lightly tickled him. Gajeel growled
