It was a normal day at the guild, and I had just arrived. I had woke up late and sadly missed breakfast. Natsu was fighting Gray like always. Surprisingly the two idiots had only broken a chair and maybe someone's sunglasses. I avoided the chaos and walked over to Levy who was reading a tiny blue book. The look on her face wasn't exactly readable but im sure it must be a good book.
I sat on the right of her and took a glimpse at the book she was reading, Then I looked over at Natsu and Gray who seemingly gave up the fight. I looked back over at levy who now ad hot tears running down her face and onto the pages. she closed the book and looked into my eyes.
"How long have you been here Lucy?" she asked me, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand.
"Not long, is that a good book?" I asked.
There she went. I shouldn't have asked her. I sat there for probably 30 minutes listening to her rant about this book. It was a romance book, the main character died, that is pretty much all I heard, but it was enough to know why she was crying.
I looked up and noticed that Natsu was walking towards us, Happy riding on his head. That silly grin ceased to disappear. Natsu pushed a piece of paper in my direction and glanced over at a tear stained Levy.
"Hey Luce!" he exclaimed. "I just found the perfect job!" he smiled not taking his eyes of me. I smiled back at him and took the paper out of his hands.
Town Bandits
Magnolia has been plagued with these awful bandits. These bandits steal money, goods, and worst of all kidnap young girls. We will stop at nothing to catch these guys and bring the eight missing girl's home.
REWARD:200,000 J
I looked away from the paper and back at Natsu.
"Natsu! This looks extremely dangerous, I don't know if we should do this one." I exclaimed. I stood up from my chair and crossed my arms.
"Luce! come on! Just a couple of guys and we get 200,000 J."
I looked away from his puppy dog eyes and back at Levy who was now reading her book and crying once more.
"No Natsu, its to dangerous, maybe we can do another one." I stated, sitting back down.
"Luce I really need the money." he stated
"I need money too Natsu, but this one just doesn't seem safe. Lets pick another one." I exclaimed.
"Luce, im going to do this job with or without you. You can come with me or you can pick another job and go with someone else." He whispered.
I know he was upset about me turning down the mission, but I didnt think he was THIS angy about it.
"Natsu I can't, Im sorry." I apologised looking down at the floor.
Natsu looked down, a shadow cast on his face, and he walked away. I felt guilty, but the mission scared me a bit. I couldnt tell him that though, it would make him think I was weak.
I watched him. He looked so sad and unhappy. I wanted to tell him that I changed my mind but right when I was about to leave my chair, Lisanna walked up to him.
My anger built up. IM HIS PARTNER, not Lisanna. I saw his face light up when Lisanna asked him to go on a mission with her. I felt like my heart had been ripped out. Levy saw it in my face that I was troubled by Lisanna. I looked at her and put a smile on my face like I always do.
Im Jealous. Ill admit it, but there is nothing I can do about it now. I guess im going to go on a mission alone. I've never been on a solo mission before.
I walked over to the request board. Blah blah blah. Ohh! here is one that seems quite easy! I will be guarding a train cart that is transporting jewelry for a store that is about 16 hours away, that means i would b gone for maybe 4 or 5 days at most.
I grabbed the request paper and handed it to Mira.
"Who is going with you?" She asked handing me the paper back with her signature on the bottom.
"Well No one, its just me." I smiled, Mira looked worried but she didnt say anything about it. She wished me good luck as I headed out the door or Fairy Tail.
I could feel everyone staring at me, But the one person that stood out the most was Natsu. The pressure from his gaze made me even more anxious. I walked slower out the door, second guessing myself. I looked back at him and Lisanna. I kinda hoped he would run after me.
He never did.
