The noise in the guild quieted down as everyone's attention was drawn towards the guild doors to see who walked into the guild when they did, they were surprised to see Natsu standing in the guild hall along with Lucy everyone tried to get up and hug him, but Lucy wouldn't allow them near him and she kept telling them that he was not ready to be ambushed by them right now and she shot a glare at anyone who tried to get near him and then she turned towards Natsu and she said
"Why don't you go up to the first floor and grab a table up there and I will be up there in a few minutes and then we can discuss what we were talking about earlier" after she said that he nodded and walked upstairs and got a table and waited for Lucy to come up. After she knew Natsu was safe up on the other floor, she walked towards the bar and asked
"Mira may me and Natsu please get two smoothies to go, " she said in thankful tone as she looked at the barmaid Mira nodded and went into the back to prepare the smoothies after five minutes she walked back up front and handed the smoothies to Lucy and then turned towards other customers. After Lucy had the smoothies she walked back up the stairs and found Natsu sitting in the far corner with his head on the table and was looking towards the floor. She walked towards him and sat down across from him not saying a word and waited for him to know she was there it took a long time before He knew that she was sitting there, but when he looked up from the table and stared at her and then she said
"I have a smoothie for you while we chat about what you going to do now, " she said as she sat down the cup of juice and then took her seat across from Him and then looked at him with an approving look and told him to start talking about his plan now it was a long while before he spoke again and then he said
''Well, I might go on a training mission for a while to get stronger and to get away for just a little while to help me get over the loss of losing him" he said as he looked at Lucy before she spoke and she said
"Ok, whatever you wanna do is fine with me i am right here with you no matter what, " she said as she looked at her partner for a long period of time before he spoke and he said
" Do you possibly want to come with me if I choose to go on a training mission for a while, " he said as he looked at her waiting for an answer from her, she stared at him for a long period of time before she spoke and she said
"Sure i will but for now just stay up here I am going to go downstairs and talk with the others and then Maybe we can go back to my place for the night and have some supper" she said as she got up and walked downstairs to talk to the others when she approached them Ezra asked
"How is he doing, " she asked with worry in her voice as she looked at Lucy, who glared at her before she spoke and she said
"He is doing just fine, just Let him be for now he will come talk when he is ready to talk don't pressure him and Don't ask him to go on any jobs before you ask me if he can go on that job for the time being he is going to stay upstairs and think for a while before he comes down to find me" she said to the group before she sat down with them and then gray asked
"Why do we have to ask you if he can go on a job, " he asked curiously as he looked at her, but at the time she was giving him a are you stupid type of look before she spoke and she said
"The reason why is because he might not be ready for a job yet so if you ask me while he is around is because he trusts me more than anything and he wants my opinion and If i say he is not ready than he will not throw a fit about it he will agree with my decision and that's final" she said as she looked at her friends who nodded in fear of making her angry anymore but after that discussion they talked more about other things it was starting to get dark outside when Natsu finally came down from the second floor and was looking for Lucy and then he saw her and walked towards once he was in front of the table everyone grew quiet and was in shock and then Lucy turned around and looked at Natsu before speaking and she said
"What's up Natsu what do you need, " she said as she waited for an answer and then he spoke and he said
"I want to go on a walk alone for a few moments just to think if that's ok with you" he said while looking at her and then Lucy spoke and she said
"That's fine Natsu just be back in 15 minutes so we can leave to head home for supper at my place, " she said while looking at him, he nodded and turned around and walked towards the doors of the guild before pulling his scarf around his neck and zipping up his jacket before heading out the door on his own. Once Natsu had left Lucy turned back towards her friends to find their faces full of shock before she asked what is it now it took a little while for them to recover before Ezra began speaking and she asked
'' How did you Manage to keep him calm and get him to talk to you without him breaking down right then and there, " she said as she pointed towards the spot where Natsu had been standing previously before leaving to go for a walk. Lucy sighed before she spoke and she said
"I know what he goes through I had the same experience he did with my mother when I was little so just leave him be he will come back in fifteen minutes and then we are leaving to head home for the evening" as she finished they gave her approving looks.
