"DAMN YOU LUCY HEARTFILIAAAAA!"
And there it was.
The reaction that Lucy had been patiently waiting for.
"How could you? I thought we were friends!"
"Oh Levy, don't be so dramatic."
"How could I not be upset, when you have just single handedly killed off the second best character in the entire novel? Have you no heart? Have you no soul? What about the readers? What about…"
Lucy wanted to listen, she really did, but it was six a.m. and she wanted even more to just sit down, relax, and drink her tea. So she substituted attention with nodding, and an occasional "there, there" and allowed her friend to rant and blubber for a little longer before she had to go meet Natsu at the guild. Once Levy had finished she flopped onto the couch with all the grace of a walrus and attempted to fix the blue birds nest she called her hair. Only then did Lucy notice her appearance. Large gray sweatpants, baggy white shirt decorated with a large ominous stain (Was that mustard?), messy bun, finger smudged reading glasses, and a large pair of fuzzy boots. All in all, she looked like she hadn't slept a single wink last night and was about damn ready to throttle the first person to piss her off this morning. Assuming that it would most likely be Gajeel, the blonde sent a silent good luck out into the universe for the poor, unknowing dragon slayer. She decided that Natsu could learn to wait and exercise some patience today, as her friend would probably like to eat some breakfast. She set aside her teacup, sighed, and then stood up to go put on a pot of coffee.
"I told you that you weren't going to like this chapter, but you insisted that I let you read it."
"Yah well, you also could have told me that it was going to rip my heart out."
Levy moved to drop into a dining chair and Lucy couldn't help but giggle at her friend's grumpy attitude.
"In all seriousness, what were you really thinking about that part? I felt like there was something missing maybe."
Her friend looked slightly confused before answering.
"Are you kidding me? It was perfect! That part where he sings to her as she's dying and then puts flowers in her hair? I must have bawled my eyes out for thirty minutes at least."
Lucy chuckled at the mix of sadness, pride, and twisted glee displayed on her friend's face. After pouring her a cup of coffee, Lucy heated up some left over pancakes and sausages for the both of them since she was already feeling hungry again. They ate in companionable silence until she asked what else Levy had done last night that kept her up. Her friend sighed and decided to chew on the rest of her breakfast before she was going to respond. Lucy sported a slight pout, but it was really fine since she had to start getting ready anyway. After washing dishes, taking a shower, and making sure that she was presentable for the day it was finally time to leave. Lucy made sure to lock her door before she and Levy headed down the steps of her apartment building and on their way to the guild.
