"LU-CHAN YOU WERE ALMOST RA-"

The blonde claps a hand over the blunette's mouth and shushes her.

"Levy, don't just scream things out like that we're in the library!" Lucy scolds, turning various shades of red.

The blonde takes in a deep breath, relaxing her shoulders and letting her hand fall down on the table. Burying her face into her hands she lets out a groan.

"Please, never drag me to one of those clubs ever again." She whines, shivering at the gruesome memory.

His intoxicated breath, his sweaty blonde hair, those piercing blue eyes…Lucy shudders.

"Oh Lu…" Levy coos, rubbing her shoulders apologetically in an attempt to calm the blonde.

Lucy inhales sharply, lifting her head from her hands.

"But, someone did save me…" She begins, a small blush forming on her pale cheeks.

Levy only raises a brow letting her friend elaborate on the story.

"He just came in and whacked the creep senseless! And then I was going to thank him but he disappeared." Lucy says, sighing.

"I want to find him and thank him, but I don't know where to begin."

"Does our little Lucy have a crush on her mysterious hero?" Levy teases, earning a hard covered book being sent at her head. She dodges effortlessly and giggles.

"Oh come on, I'm just teasing."

Lucy only snorts.

But, thinking back to her mysterious hero, he was quite handsome she can't lie about that.

"Well, what did he look like?" Levy asks, leaning her head on her palm, while flipping through her history textbook.

"He had…pink hair." Lucy admits, feeling kind of embarrassed that Levy might get the wrong impression.

The astonishment crossing Levy's face is priceless, but it's not shock…it's something more…something Lucy can't quite pinpoint.

"Pink hair?! Lu he'll be so easy to find! Who else has pink hair?" She asks, a smile spreading across her features, and her eyes dart away from Lucy's.

The blonde notes the odd behavior, but doesn't bother questioning it. Levy has always been awkward around the topic of boys…unless she's wasted.

"That is true…" Lucy agrees, feeling more confident about finding him.

"Don't give up okay, Lu? I'll ask Gajeel about a pink haired dude for you okay?" She says, blushing a bit when mentioning Gajeel. Lucy only smirks.

"Levy, is this just another excuse to talk to him?" The blonde suggests, a devious smirk taking her plump lips.

Levy turns all shades of pink before burying her head in her book and waving Lucy off.

Turns out Gajeel was no help, he only called Levy a shrimp and she sulked under her bed covers for the rest of the day.

Tapping her fingers impatiently on the wooden desk, Lucy zones out of the boring lecture her history teacher is giving. She can't get her mind off of this random guy…well firstly because he saved her and secondly he's really the only guy who's done something so admirable to her!

She's tried looking him up, but it seems the guy doesn't exist, and if he does he clearly doesn't get out much. Lucy's made a fool of herself, asking people for help, but everyone's waved her off saying no guy has pink hair that attends this college.

"Heartphilia are you listening?" The teacher snaps, causing the blonde to snap out of her thoughts. Anime sweat dripping down the side of her face, she gives her best attempt at a smile and nods.

"Yes!" Lucy squeaks out. The teacher lets out a sigh and turns back around to continue his boring lecture. Lucy only leans on her palm, her mind somewhere else.

...

Riiiing!

"Oi, Lucy." A masculine voice says, causing the blonde to blink and snap back into reality. Blinking a few times and letting out a groan Lucy rubs her temples and sleepy eyes.

Looking around she notices that the majority of the class have already left.

"Oh Gray…did class end already?" She asks, looking around with wide eyes. Gray rolls his eyes and takes a seat on top of her desk.

"Yeah…is something up? You're acting weirder than usual." Gray asks, eyeing the blonde. Her hair is frizzed, there's a bit of drool on her chin, and it seems like she's not even focusing on the conversation.

Blinking a few times, Lucy puts on a smile and nods her head a bit too enthusiastically. Of course Gray would notice, they've been childhood friends for years. But, she won't make him worry, not over something so silly.

"Everything is fine, I just haven't gotten a lot of sleep lately." She replies coolly, combing her fingers through her tangled hair.

"So…pink hair huh?" Gray asks, a smirk forming on his lips as he notices the blonde freeze and a stunned expression graze her features.

"W-Who told you that?" She asks, and Gray is about to answer but her expression turns grim only moments after. The deadly aura lingers around her, causing Gray to gulp out of fear. Her eyes turn dark and she claws the desk.

"Levy…" She growls out, brows furrowing and steam pouring out from her ears.

"Lucy?" Gray says nervously, afraid at the blonde's raging behavior. Lucy only glares at him before shoving him aside, slinging her oversized bag over her shoulder, and storming out of the class ready to strangle her friend.

Gray watches her go, chuckling at her antics.

Shoving his hands in his pocket he looks out the window, a distressed look forming on his prominent features.

"So she really doesn't remember you, huh Natsu?"
