When There's No One Else... (GaLe fanfic)

Chapter 16 | Explosions?!

Gajeel

So, at about 5 o'clock that afternoon, the girl I'd bandaged came in. "Hi, Lucy!" She said. "Hey, Wendy!!! Long time no see!!!" Lucy greeted, standing up, hugging her.

"I was worried about you!!!" Lucy said. "You didn't have to be. Romeo had my back. And I knew Natsu had yours." She said. "Yeah... So your little boyfriend has your back?" Lucy teased. "He's not my boyfriend!!!" Wendy said.

"You know you want him to be!" Lucy said. This poor girl's face was so red. "Just-where's the person I'm supposed to heal?" She asked. I started standing up. "C'mon. Back here." I said.

"O-okay." She said, timid and shy to follow me. I led her to the back room where I opened the door carefully. "Alright, I'll get to work." She said.

"Do you want me to leave or..?" I asked. "You can stay if you want to." She said. So, I stayed while she healed her. Then, she unwrapped the bandage from her head, and the cut was gone.

"And my job is done." Wendy said. "Thanks." I said. "No problem, it was my pleasure!" She said. We walked back to the living room, giving Levy privacy.

Now the kid Romeo was in here. "Do you want some fish?" Happy asked a white cat. "You don't have any fish, tomcat." The white cat, I'm assuming Carla, said.

Natsu and Romeo were talking about something, laughing and being idiots. Lucy and Wendy seemed to be in a deep conversation. I was on my own. I sighed and leaned back against the couch.

At about 6, Levy came walking in. "Hey!" She said. I nodded a hello. "How did my head heal so quickly? Or was I in there for, like, days?" She asked. "It's only been a few hours, and it's all because of her." I pointed to the blue haired girl.

"Oh, let me go thank her." She said. She walked over to her and Lucy. I couldn't help but overhear their conversation.

"Oh, I'm glad you're up and better now." Wendy said. "Yeah, Gajeel was telling me that you healed me! Thank you! I'm Levy, by the way." She said, sticking out her hand. "I'm Wendy. And-not to be rude, but who's Gajeel?" Wendy asked.

"The guy with the obviously conditioned hair." She said, smiling over at me. I rolled my eyes, fighting a smile and blush. "Oh, okay. He's the one that led me to you in the first place." She said. "Well I'll tell him I said thanks." Levy said.

"So, who's the new guy?" Levy asked, motioning over to Natsu and Romeo. "That's Romeo. He was with ME." Wendy explained. "Ooooh." She said. "Shut up, he's not my boyfriend!" Wendy said. Levy laughed.

"Whatever you say." Levy added. "Well, Gajeel seemed like he cared about YOU a lot!" Wendy teased. I looked away, refusing to make eye contact with Levy if she WAS looking, and immediately tuned out their conversation.

She came up to me in about fifteen minutes. "Hey." She said. "Heyo." I said. "I finally escaped." She laughed. "Yeah, they really did NOT want you to leave." I said. "I guess I'm just good at making friends!" She said. I huffed. I'd never had that ability. Poison wasn't really my friend, and I've never had any others, so Levy's the only true friend.

So, since it was supper time, we ate some food in the dining room. Wendy, Romeo, and Carla left afterwards, so it was back to the normal gang.

"So, what do you guys want to do while blowing over the apocalypse?" Natsu asked. "Watch TV?" I suggested. "Sure!" Natsu said. We rushed into the living room. Levy and Lucy also followed. Levy sat beside me, getting out her Bible and reading it.

It was very calm, so calm I almost fell asleep a couple of times. One time, when I did, I woke up instantly to the sound of an explosion pretty far away.

"What was that?!" I asked quickly. "I dunno. Happy, wanna go investigate?" Natsu asked. "Aye aye, sir!" Happy said.

They left to go investigate while we stayed behind. We all just kinda sat there awkwardly. "Well, who claims the beds?" I asked. "I do!" Lucy said. "I bet Natsu'll be taking the other one." She added. "Can't we get Levy one? She hurt her head." I said.

"That's healed. Plus, I'll probably be up most of the night anyway." She said. I sighed. She was NOT helping. Lucy shrugged. "We could share a room if you want." She offered to Levy. "No, it's okay." Levy said. "It'd be like a sleepover! It'll be our first one! Come on!" Lucy begged. "Fine." Levy said.

I mentally celebrated. Levy got a bed, just like I'd promised her. "I guess I'm taking the couch then." I said. "Yeah, I guess we'll go ahead and head back." Lucy said. "Okay, well, see ya in the morning, Gajeel!" Levy said. "See ya." I muttered as they left.

I then cut off the lights, took off the little throw blanket and laid down. Lily was ALSO staying in here, just on a throw pillow in the floor. He's so tiny that that's comfortable for him.

*Author's Note*

I know, that's not a very final ending, but I have some things in store. But yeah, thank you for reading this chapter, I hope you liked it, and I'll see you in the next one!
