Last Time...

Lucy arrives at the guild feeling bummed and irritated. I thought Natsu would wait for me, but I guess he didn't see me worth waiting for... She went up to the bar and orders herself her usual milkshake.

"Hey Mira." Giving a smile smile towards the demon mage. "Hello Lucy. How are you?" Mira got worried on how to tell Lucy that Natsu left with Lissana on a job by themselves.

"Hey Mira do you know where Natsu is? I thought he would be at the guild rightnow?" Here is comes. Mira started panicking.

"Ummmm he went on a job with Lissana about ten minutes ago."

Lucy went silent for a good. "Oh...okay... thanks Mira."

"Lucy..." "It's okay Mira really."

Lucy left the guild with tears forming.

A certain ice wizard noticed her tears as he entered the guild.

"Was that Lucy...crying?"

TO BE CONTINUED


At The Guild

After Lucy left Gray couldn't help but worry about her. He felt the need to go after her, but at the same time he felt she needed space. I'll let her be for now. She probably needs someone close to her than me. Where the hell is Natsu? He walks over to the bar to greet Mira and order himself some warm tea. He still felt a little under the weather since yesterday. He still can't believe he got a cold.

"What's up up Mira? How you doing" He takes a seat.

"I'm doing good Gray. How is your cold? You know Natsu was looking for you to teach you a lesson for yesterday's incident hehe."

"Screw that idiot. That was an accident, but I don't feel sorry about it anymore".

Mira gives a smile and goes back to washing dishes.

Gray continues to deal with his cold while he worries about the celestial mage on his team. Why wasn't Natsu with her today? Arn't they always together now since they became a couple 4 years ago?

"Hey Mira, do you know if something is wrong with Lucy? She seemed a bit off when she left the guild." Actually way off. I thought I saw tears and it felt horrible to see if she was crying.

Mira had a debating face. It was Lucy's and Natsu's business. Only reason she knew was because Lucy told her everything like she was her own little sister, but Lucy seemed like she needed more than one person there for her on a personal level. Gray could maybe help.

"Okay Gray I'm gana tell you something that you can't share with anyone else. Lucy wouldn't want so many involved with her situation." Her face meant serious business.

Gray was getting scared. "O..okay. Sure. What is it?"

Mira took a big breath. "Okay, Lucy left the guild because she was about to break down crying. Natsu forgot about their anniversary again and she has been feeling lonely and ignored. Natsu had just left on a mission with just Lissana and we all know how my sister feels for him. Of course he doesn't know her feelings himself."

Gray just stood there in disbelief. He honestly thought Lucy was completely happy with Natsu. What the hell was Natsu even thinking!? Is he that dense!?

"Mira...do you know where Lucy might have gone?" Gray said in such a calming but serious tone.

"Ummmm no actually, maybe she went home to get her mind cleard." Gray soon left as fast as Natsu did earlier. Lucy needs someone. Hopefully I can be that someone.


With Lucy

Lucy had continued to walk home. Thinking about what she could do to spend time with Natsu more and have him notice her. It seems she hasn't been one of his priorities. He forgot their anniversary for the second time. She let the first time slide because he had been sick that day with a bad fever so he couldn't really think of anything. Now that she thought about it, he never was the first to say Happy Aniversary any of the times they had been together. Nor did remember her birthday unless someone reminded him a couple of days before.

Maybe I'm not that important for him to remember the simplest things about. He does have other things to worry about. Like being the strongest mage in Fairy Tail and being everyone's hero when the guild needs saving. I shouldn't be selfish. I just wish... She had just gotten to her house and as she closed the door, her tears had started to stain the wooden floor. She ran to her bedroom, but tripped as she almost made it to her bed. Her head had started to bleed.

She hated herself and she hated the fact that she was feeling miserable. She thought that she should be happy with someone who truly loved her for who she is. She knew he accepted her and her flaws, but he didn't show how much he really loved and appreciated her. Lucy never had the special kind of love from her father. Her mother did, but it was only for a short while until she passed away from a disease.

Lucy didn't feel content with what Natsu was offering to the relationship. Most of the time they act as if they were still just best friends. There were kisses from time to time, but now they felt like just having body contact with lips. There was no spark and no feeling. Lucy was scared.

Was she losing feelings for Natsu? Is she horrible for expecting too much?

Before she knew it she was going to pass out from stress and the painful head ache she was receiving. She barley heard a faint voice call to her. "Lucy! Are you okay!? Lucy stay with me!" This voice sounds so concerned. Is there someone who really cares for me?

Everything went black.


Lucy's House With Gray

Gray had finally reached Lucy's house out of breath. He was going to be even more sick, but that wasn't his priority right now. His friend needed someone there for her. Hopefully she accepts him.

Seems like she barley got home. I should wait for a while until I knock. "Thud!" What was that!? Is she okay!?

Without a second thought Gray stormed into her house, knocking some household items making it up the stairs. Please be okay... What he finds leaves him speechless. He sees the always shining Lucy of Fairy Tail, that always knows how to lighten up the mood with her beautiful smile, passed out on the floor with a puddle of blood coming from her head.

Gray couldn't control himself. "Lucy! Are you okay!? Lucy stay with me!" He was very much panicking. He knew Wendy wasn't around because she was on a job with Juvia. They wouldn't be back for a week. Also, he couldn't move her around too much because it'll probably make it worse. He examined her carefully. The injury wasn't too serious, so she just passed out from mostly exhaustion.

He picked her up and placed her on top of her bed. "You're going to be okay Lucy." He kept repeating that over and over while he was tending to her wound. After he was finished he sat and watched as she slept.

He wish he could do more, but for now he can just wait until she wakes up. Her sleeping pale face was luminating in the dark. The moon had shined upon her perfectly that it looked as if she was a painting that could move.

The ice wizard couldn't deny it. He had feelings for the celestial mage, but knew he had no chance, He still believes he doesn't. He had placed himself as only a friend and possibly big brother, if she wanted to.

She started to mumble in her sleep. "Mmmm. I'm sorry... I'm horrible.." Tears started to stream down her face.

What the hell did Natsu do!?

He calmed his anger and wiped her tears. He came close to her ear and whispered, "I'll protect you...I promise on my life."

She seemed to have calmed down after. Placing a small smile on her face.

I will protect that smile no matter what! Just give me a chance and I won't dissapoint you. I promise!
