This is dedicated to the lovely @what-makes-me-feel-better who is absolutely adorable and extremely nice :)
“No, no, no. Not again!” Levy sighed and hit her head against her steering wheel, making it honk the horn.
Her engine light in her beat up powder blue car came on for the fourth time this summer. She loved her little bug car but it was a worn and torn hand me down from her older brother that had seen better days. The auto shop down the road now knows her by name due to the amount of fixes and dollars she had dropped on them.
Rolling her eyes, she pulled out of her drive way and to the small shop, one ran by the dad of an old high school classmate.
As she pulled into the shop a man with thick black hair walked up to her window, smiling as he saw the blue hair and red rimmed glasses.
“Levy! It’s only been a few weeks.” He laughed. She shrugged and stepped out of the car, tossing him her keys. “It will only take an hour, you can wait inside where it’s nice and cool.”
“Thanks Mr. RedFox.” She smiled and walked into the small shop, paying the woman at the desk before pulling up a chair and relaxing.
The window inside connected to the shop, letting her see the view of the men and woman working on her car. She would be lying if she didn’t enjoy coming to the auto shop. For standing outside and leaning over her car was her high school crush, Gajeel RedFox.
He always worked on her car, his jet black hair pulled into a bright head band, matching her own, and his extremely ripped body was no secret in his sleeveless tank. She had heart eyes on him at all times, but she doubted he would ever like a girl like her. She wasn’t a bad ass who rode motorcycles and had cool piercings. Instead she was a quiet book worm who would sit at the beach alone then go to a dance with her friends.
Gajeel snuck a look through the window. Levy McGarden was sitting in the lounge, a place she had frequently visited. She was the only customer that had his attention and he may have done half ass work on her car in order to keep her coming back just so he could catch glances at her beauty.
“Gajeel just ask her out already.” His partner Juvia said. She handed him a wrench and raised her eyebrows. “Juvia thinks you are a pussy.”
“I’m not a pussy water works, she wouldn’t want a guy like me.” He watched as Juvia rolled her eyes.
“Juvia knows she likes you, she has told me at a sleep over you dumbass.” She snatched the wrench back and pushed him towards the door. She flung it open and threw him in, but before he could protest, Levy made eye contact with him and Juvia already prepared her speech.
“Hey Levy, Gajeel here wants to ask you on a date this Friday night and your car is ready.” She smiled and then slammed the door, making sure he couldn’t escape.
Gajeel stood frozen in place, avoiding Levys big doe eyes.
“Is this true?” Levy spoke, hoping and praying this wasn’t some sick joke. She watched as he turned towards her, fixing his posture and rubbing the grease from his hands on his pants.
“If ya want.” He said, making her smile falter a little bit. Stupid. He thought to himself. Ask her for real. “I mean, do you wanna go out on Friday? With me.” His eyes searched her face for an answer.
“Friday it is.” She smiled and took the keys from his hands. “Oh and stop doing half ass work on my car. It’s sweet that you want me to come back but I should have to pay to see your face.” She winked and walked out of the shop leaving him with a deadly smirk.
She may not be motorcycles and ashes but she was full of spirit and had a fire to her, his cup of tea.
This was pretty short but I hope you enjoyed!
