impatiently tapping his foot on the ground while waiting for the vet to see Lily. Keeping himself calm was difficult, but he was managing. He had a strong feeling that it had been Levy that texted him. He didn't text anyone else about it and not many people would randomly text him. The only other person was Juvia, a girl he met before he left school.
He dug for his phone in his pocket and pulled it out. He turned on the screen seeing one new text from Levy. He swiped his screen unlocking the phone his heart dropped reading the text.
Levy: Sorry I didn't reply right away. Lucy dragged me to a party and I kinda got... drunk.
Gajeel stared at the screen for a few more moments trying to think of a response to that. Drunk? Levy? What the fuck, shrimp? His fingers typed at the screen almost angrily.
Gajeel: Drunk? What the hell, shrimp? You ain't the type to drink! And if ya are you never told me...
After Gajeel hit send the door to the vet's room opened.
"Pantherlily?" The blue haired assistant said. The girl had a dark blue, not a light sky blue like Levy. She also wore twin pig tails on her head. She had a huge smile on her face that clashed horribly with Gajeel's mood. Not only did he injure his cat, the girl he cared about more than anyone was drunk off her ass.
"Right here!" Gajeel called standing up. He picked up Pantherlily's carrier and walked to the small assistant.
"Alright, the vet is going to take a look at him. If you have anything you need to do, leave your number with the receptionist." She pointed over to the small window that was for signing in as she took the black carrier. "He'll explain more to you if you go to him."
"I'll wait here, thanks." Gajeel gave her the best smile he could muster up, but again his mood wasn't the best. Between worry for his feline and Levy he felt fake giving her a smile. It didn't help that he didn't really interact with people much anymore. It had been years since he'd been social in person with people. He was surprised he knew how to handle things like shopping for food on his own. Then again, his father kind of forced him to learn to do that. He would've starved if he had not learned.
Gajeel's phone buzzed again as he took a seat in the waiting room again. He grabbed his phone as his mind rushed through thoughts. They ranged between Levy deserving better than him and what would happen if he lost his cat. Pantherlily was the only company he had in his lonely home every day and the only companion that never let him down.
Before the raven haired man unlocked his phone, he pulled the hair tie from his wrist and tied his hair up in a tight ponytail. The lose strands were starting to really bother him. As soon as his hair was up he turned on his phone screen and unlocked it quickly.
Levy: I'm sorry. I'm sorry! In my defense I was still up about your stupid words! Stop being so blunt about things!
Gajeel took a deep breath. He hadn't meant to upset her but the fact that she thought he'd done it on purpose pissed him off. He began typing quickly.
Gajeel: Ya fuckin' act like I did it in purpose. I didn't. I care about you, ya know that. Why would I purposely offend you? Think for a goddamn minute!
Levy squeezed her phone in her hand. She was livid. Her feelings felt intensified so much. She was hurt but angry at Gajeel. It took every thought to stay rational and not tell the idiot she loved him.
Levy: Tch, like you thought before sending your text?!
After she hit send she threw her phone across her room. She'd been home for about five minutes and she was already ready for bed, but she didn't feel right leaving things on a bad note with Gajeel. She refused to be the one to apologize.
I wish I could go for a drive...
Levy sat on her floor for a few moments before laying back and looking at her fan that spun on the ceiling. She wished she could understand her feelings for the metal faced idiot. They felt so overwhelming to her at that moment. Maybe it was because she was drunk. She couldn't really tell.
She heard her phone buzz against the wall and she sat up, crawled up her bed, grabbed her phone, and then lay back on the ground. She unlocked her phone to see a text from Lucy. She was a bit relieved knowing that her biggest fear of Gajeel hating her wasn't the text she was about to read.
Lucy: So, I'm back at Natsu's place. A lot of the football players that weren't messing around with their girlfriends are gone and we're just chilling. Natsu is falling asleep in my lap now, so if you wanted to tell me who this "Gajeel" guy is that you were talking about, that would be great!
Levy looked at the time, how long had she been laying looking up at the fan thinking about Gajeel? She began typing to her friend slowly. She was kind of nervous to tell her friend about him, especially with the tension between him and her at the time.
Levy: He's a guy I met online. We've been friends for a long time and I have...feelings? for him...
When she hit send she bit her lip then hit the back button to see when her text to Gajeel was sent. It read 7:04. She looked at the clock in the corner of her screen; it now said 9:30. Did she really upset him that badly? She was worried to find out.
Levy got up and climbed onto her computer chair trying to keep herself from falling over. She wasn't as drunk as she'd been when Lucy had dropped her off, but that didn't change the fact that she was still drunk. She logged onto her Magebook and saw that Gajeel was offline. She signed and rested her head on the desk.
You idiot... you did upset him.
She fell asleep almost as soon as she'd laid her head down.
