…"He tried to kill you?!" , I yelled as I throw my backpack away.
I came closer to Lucy, made her stand up and stared at her.
"What are you doing?" , Lucy asked while blushing.
"Just making myself sure."
Luckily she didn't have any injures.
"What are you going to do?", Luce asked.
"Isn't it clear?! I am going to ki… give Toshiaki a lesson! He needs one very badly!"
Lucy was little scared. I calmed down for bit to not scare her even more.
"Luce, please stay here. I will be right back.", I turned away from her and headed to the main door.
"BUT IT WAS ONLY A BAD JOKE!", she yelled.
I stopped with my hand on handle of the main door.
"What?! Only a joke?! How can you be so sure?! What if it wasn't and you are lucky to be alive?"
"Toshiaki and Happy played skit to train on audition he has?"
"So you are telling me that he scared and almost killed the most important person to me only for his stupid sake?"
"No! No….no."
"Then what?"
"…" Lucy didn't know what to say.
"Luce, you the kindest person I know. I like that about you and also how are you trying to protect everyone, but you can't do it all the time.", I looked back at her and smiled.
I quitted the apartment. When I took the first step on the street I was full of anger, again. My fists were on my fire, gnashing with my teeth with angry look that could kill anyone, I caught a guy, who was leaning against the wall, under the neck and asked him.
"WHERE IS TOSHIAKI?!"
"W-who?" , he asked totally scared.
"TOSHIAKI! THAT BASTARD IS THE REASON WHY ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE BROKEN NOSE IF DON'T CO-OPARETE. SO WHERE IS HE?!"
"I don't know. I swear. Please let me go." ,he begged
"THEN, WHERE IS THE THEATER?" , I asked him and put my face 2 cm in front of his.
"One is on other side of town a-and next one is about 500 meters on right by this street."
"You see. It wasn't so hard. Thank you. Have a nice day Sir." , I let him be and went to nearer theater.
Meanwhile Lucy's Pov
After what Natsu left the apartment I wanted to go after him, but I decided to stay at home and clean up a little. I was washing the dishes from breakfast when I thought: "Why does Natsu have to be like this? Yes, I am mad at Toshiaki and he needs a lesson, but he has already apologized. But still, I want to repay him what he has done for sure. I hope Natsu won't do anything stupid like he always does."
After I was done with cleaning the kitchen I went to my room, took my favorite book, sat down on bed and started to read. Although I was in world of imagination I couldn't stop thinking about what Natsu said before.
"…..So you are telling me that he scared and almost killed the most important person to me only for his stupid sake?... The most important person to him. *Hmm* Is me? I thought it was Igneel or Happy."
Come to think of it Natsu always cares about me. Every time when I am sad he tries to cheer me up. Even one time when I was ill he got ill too so I won't be alone. It was nice from him and stupid at the same time. At the end, it was him who needed to be looked after. No matter what happen, he is always here for me. Well, until the last year.
My heart started to beat faster as I thought about Natsu. "Are your feelings different than mine? Well, I am not sure about my feelings either."
I couldn't focus on reading so I put the book away and went to living room. When I got there, a horrible scent hit me to nose. I quickly opened all the windows, but the scent didn't want to go anywhere. I started to search for its source. Unsurprisingly it was coming from Natsu's backpack. To help my nose, I took the backpack to bathroom and started to wash everything what was inside.
"Right now I know how I feel about you Natsu. I am going to tear you apart and teach you about hygiene.", I thought.
On the very bottom of the backpack was wrapped gift. It was wrapped really nice. But there was no name on it.
"Is it maybe last gift from Igneel to Natsu and he still didn't open it?" , I mumped for myself.
I was trying to figure out what was inside when somebody knocked on door. I was so focused on the gift that the knock scared me and I dropped the gift into the bath full of water. I quickly pulled it out, but it was already late. The gift was wet. Somebody knocked again. I came out from the bathroom, I put the gift on sun to dry it and went to open the door. On the other side of the door was standing my majordomo.
"Good morning." I greeted him.
"Good morning miss. I hope you slept well.", he laughed as he said that.
"What is so funny?"
"Nothing. I just have good mood."
"That's good to hear. But is there anything you need?"
"Yes, I almost forgot. Someone left you a letter.", he said as he passed me the letter.
"Thank you. Is that all?"
"*Emm*. Just one more thing. I guess it must have been a long time since you saw your pink haired boyfriend. Please try to be more silent when you will be saying 'Welcome' to him next time. If you know what I mean."
My face turned all red, looked down and I stayed silent.
"Well that's all I wanted to say. And don't forget to pay your rent." , he said as he left.
I slowly closed the door and went to the living room, sat down on a sofa and started to scream to pillow.
"Toshiaki, you idiot! Now the majordomo thinks I and Natsu are together! Maybe everyone in this building thinks so too! Well I guess it is okay. Wait! That's not okay at all! We are just friends! But he is kind of cute even though he is not the smartest. He is kind, caring and good looking. But we are just friends, very good friends. AHHHH! I don't know. Somebody help me."
Then I remembered the letter. On the letter was written: "To Lucy Heartfilia." I opened the letter and smiled from hearth. This is what was written in it:
"Hi Lu-chan,
It feels like forever since we met. I hope you didn't forget about me. I am sorry for that I didn't write sooner but I was pretty busy. I have been doing so many things. I have been traveling because of work. I have seen a lot of interesting and fascinating things that you won't believe.
But I have seen that you are busy too. All those articles you wrote for the magazine. When I have free time in work I read them to keep my mind healthy. I hope you have finished your roman through the past year. I am dying to read it. Lu-chan, please tell me it is done.
I hope you will come to see me soon. I am still living in Magnolia. You can come any time you want. I've got something very important to tell you.
Best regrets Levy.
P.S. Do you have any information about Natsu and Happy?"
"Levy-chan.", I whispered and smiled. "You are the best. Wait. Who left the letter here? " I stood up and rushed to my room. I put on white summer dress and the same color hat and went to the lobby. Majordomo was, like always, sitting in his old chair.
"Sir, can I have a question?", I asked him.
"Need an advice to your relationship?"
"No!", I yelled blushed.
"Alright. You don't have to shout at me."
"I wanted to ask. Who left the letter for me?"
"Messenger from Magic Council."
"Messenger from Magic Council?", I stared at him.
"That's what I said. Need anything else because I would like to return to my duty."
"Yes, that's all. Thank you."
"Anytime."
I went out from the building and headed to grocery store to make bigger purchase of essentials for everybody, because there is four of us now. One part of me wanted to go search for Natsu knowing he clearly asked me to stay at home. So I guess he wouldn't be very happy when he would saw me outside of my apartment. I didn't even walk 10 minutes when I heard big explosion and saw black smoke coming to skies. I was on hundred percent sure it was Natsu so I started run the smokes direction.
