Hey guys! Here's an update. I had no intentions of writing a chapter today since it is a holiday and I just wanted to relax before work. But since I saw that the game I'm trying to play will take 27 hours to update.-_- I decided I might as well update this story while I wait. Anyways this is a bit shorter than what I wanted but the next chapter will surely be longer. This chapter I didn't really edit it. I kind of just fixed the things that stood out to me so very sorry if I made of mess of things in certain places. I'll edit this one later on today. Now, on to the story, I guess. XD
(Levy POV)
"Shrimp settle down." Gajeel grumbled from beside me as we walked home from school.
"I can't, I'm so excited!" I exclaimed as I threw my hands into the air. He rolled his eyes as I grabbed his hand with my right and then grabbed Lucy's with my left. Today was finally the last day of our grounding and I was very excited. I was in such a good mood today because Gajeel's cat was coming to Magnolia today from his fathers home and Gajeel said I could go with him to pick him up. The only problem was, when I told my parents of my plans, my father insisted on speaking with Gajeel before we left. It was known to everyone at this point that my dad and Gajeel hated each other. So of course this meeting could only worsen things. Once we reached my house, Gajeel stopped in his tracks making me and Lucy stumble backwards.
"What is your deal?" Lucy shrieked in annoyance as she let go of my hand and continued her walk inside.
"Don't be angry at me for your lady troubles blondie!" Gajeel yelled after her.
I put my hands on my hip and glared up at him. Lucy has been extremely quiet since her last fight with Natsu. She only really spoke to argue with people these last few days. So in an effort to help cheer her up I suggested we go to the Library and meet up with Mavis, another major book lover, tomorrow. She hesitantly agreed, but I guess it's a start.
"Okay I'm ready to go in now." He spoke softly to himself as he grabbed hold of the doorknob.
Before he could turn the small gold knob, the door opened up to reveal a woman. She was short, not as short as me but short nonetheless. She had short, wavy light brown hair and creamy white skin. She wore a plain green, long sleeve shirt and black pants.
"Mom, I thought you said you weren't going to be here." I smiled as I gave my mother a tight hug. She smiled brightly as she hugged me and then hugged Gajeel.
"Well I was going to go to meet up with a few of the moms until your father said he wanted to talk to this one here." She pointed her finger towards Gajeel in amusement.
"I stayed just in case things get out of hand." She rolled her eyes as she closed the front door behind us.
"He's in his office?" I asked as I threw my backpack down next to the door
"So you are just going to that animal shipping place down in town?" My father sat at his desk repeatedly stroking his beard with his eyes closed.
"Well where else would you get a cat coming from overseas, the police station?" Gajeel grumbled as he crossed his arms the way a reprimanded five year old would.
My dads blue eyes shot open, anger clear of his face as he slammed both his hands on the desk. "Listen here you little punk! Be grateful that I'm letting her go with you at all, knowing exactly what you've done and what you are capable of!" I sighed as the two began their usual argument.
I looked over to my mother for support but that didn't help much as she and Lucy stood by the door, laughing at the two arguing men. "That's enough!" They were both in each other's faces, their foreheads only inches away from each other.
I stomped my foot as I wedged myself in between the desk and Gajeel. I pushed him away from my fathers face as they continued to argue. Fed up, I put my hand over his mouth and waited for the two to calm down.
"Good job boys! That's a record! Only 18 minutes!" My mom cheered from the door.
"I don't trust you." My dad glared at Gajeel as he spoke. He never took his eyes off of him.
"Piss off, I said we were going to go pick up a cat. Not go buy a ton of cocaine and have sex in a dark alley." Gajeel also glared in return as he spoke.
"Knowing you it seems like a possibility! Hell the first time you were in my house, I caught you in a very compromising position." My dad slammed his fist on his desk again with a force that stopped the conversation between the two women at the door. Mom looked worried as she hesitantly took a step forward into the room.
Gajeel smirked as he stood back up at his full height. "Who said that was the first time I was in here?" His smirk grew as he continued to speak.
"Hell, I tried to stop it but shrimp knows what she wants." Dads face was all red and he shook in anger.
"Gajeel, stop it! Don't tease him!" I reprimanded him, my face also red with embarrassment. Gajeel laughed as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed the top of my head, still smirking at my dad.
Before I could reprimand him once more, my eyes opened wide in fear as I watched my dad jump over his desk and tackle Gajeel to the ground. Mom grabbed my arm and quickly dragged me over to the door as the two began to exchange punches.
"I thought you said you were here to stop this?" Lucy said to my mother as she watched the two grown men fight in amusement.
"Sweetie, I'm not getting into the middle of that. I was just here to make sure you two are okay." She spoke also watching the men exchange blows as well as verbal assaults.
"How is he the sheriff again?" I sighed as I rubbed my temples. Mom whistled loudly getting the attention of the two. She forcibly pulled Gajeel off of dad and pushed him in mine and Lucy's direction. For someone as tiny as she was, she was very strong.
"You kids get going, I'll handle this one!" She smiled at us as she sat down next to my dad and scolded him.
"Good luck getting that cocaine and finding a dark alley to have sex in, in the middle of the afternoon guys!" Lucy yelled as she ran up the driveway to her house.
I shook my head as I watched Gajeel walk beside me with a big smile on his face. "Why are you in such a good mood? You look awful! And I'm sure he hates you more now" I spoke as I wiped off some blood from the corner of his mouth, not too sure of whose it was.
"Totally worth it." Was his only response, his grin never wavering.
I guess most people really enjoy the bickering father and potential boyfriend. I for one love it. XD I have already decided to make the next chapter from Levy and Lucy's POV. The one after that will be Gajeel and Natsu. So we'll be seeing Natsu's POV for the first time in this story I believe. The only reason I'm actually mentioning it, is because I'm hoping this way I won't chicken out on it. Well I hope you all have a nice day. And read, review and whatever if you feel like it and have the chance to!
