Previously: "Looking for this?"
Stood behind her was Gajeel. Lucy kept her fingers crossed that he hasn't had the chance to read it, but of course he did. She wanted to speak to him, but in the panic she left the board in the classroom.
"You know this is fucked up. I should tell Mira." Lucy put her hands together as if it beg, "But I won't. You can trust people here y'know." He said surprised that she hasn't replied to him yet. He then notices the lack of board and sighed, handing the letter over to her to write on it.
"I don't trust anyone but Levy." Lucy wrote.
"Not even Natsu." Lucy shook her head. "I want I though." She wrote. Gajeel understood the girl now, he thought her to be a suitable friend for Levy. Not that it was any of his business.
"You can trust me now too." He said grumpily.
"Levy would be happy to know you're nice to me" Lucy wrote knowing it would make Gajeel happy, and he cracked a smile but tried to hide it. There was a silence and Gajeel... Laughed to himself...
"I guess your dad won't be coming to the parental meeting in a mouth." He said, but Lucy disagreed.
"Sting will probably come. He 'mark his territory'" Lucy said. Gajeel was about to nod but he was looking directly behind her, she turned around and saw nothing.
"Shhh... I hear someone." How could his hearing be that good she thought. He kicked the door causing a Male to yelp in pain. Lucy took a few steps back, hoping that whoever it was hadn't heard. Out stood a raven haired male who, Lucy discovered stripped a lot. She also found out he was an adrenaline junkie, always going to overly cold places in his underwear, she heard that his toes almost came off with frostbite.
"So, who's Sting? Who's having Daddy issues? And Gajeel, you like Levy?" He taunted, making Lucy smile.
She wrote on the back of the paper, "Read this. I'm going to my dorm room. Either of you tell ANYONE I'll kill you both." She handed the letter to Gray and started to leave.
"Wait, Here." Gajeel threw her a bandage and point to her left hand; she nodded and left for her dorm, leaving Gajeel and Gray.
"Nice one going dickhead. I was trying to be nice her there." Gajeel hit Gray round the back of the head.
"Oi and what's up with Lucy?" He asked.
"Just read it." Gajeel started to leave but turned around. "Oh, and I suggest you tell no-one. I've seen her fight Erza, Lucy almost won. Oh, and give it to Levy afterwards." Gajeel left Gray wondering what the big deal was. He read the letter and understood. He made his way to Levy, and tapped on her shoulder. She jumped a bit causing Gray to laugh.
"Levy, you need to get more comfortable around us." Gray said with a smile. Levy reluctantly smiled back.
"I-I-I try." Levy stammered. "Anyw-way, what w-would you like?" She asked.
"Here this is yours, right?" Gray held up the letter, and all nervous or scared thoughts left her head.
"You haven't read it have you?" She said, nervous for her friend. Gray was shocked, he smiled thinking here friends make her stronger.
"Lucy, said I could." There was a silence between the two.
"W-what are w-we going to do?" Levy whispered.
"I don't know, Levy. I don't know." Levy looked at the floor. "But I know that we have to help her, in every way we can." Levy nodded. She was determined to help Lucy. There was the silence again.
"Hey, you heard we have some newbie's coming, apparently cousins" Gray said breaking the silence.
"Yeah. H-haven't f-found out what's w-wrong with them yet. I-I heard that Master will start t-telling p-people about 'them' s-so people are more p-prepared." Levy nodded.
"That makes sense. We don't want someone running away again." Gray said. He was about to walk off, and back to class. He grinned. "Oh, I know you're shy, but speak to Gajeel more... he'll like it..." He said, remembering what he saw whilst spying on Gajeel and Lucy. If it was a way for Levy to be more confident, he would help. He wished the girl spoke up sooner. He went to class.
*BACK WITH LUCY*
Lucy's POV
Breath Lucy. I know Levy was only meant to know, but I can trust Gajeel and Gray. They won't tell. They won't tell... I hope. But Gajeel said he should tell Mira. What if he does? Then what? I have to leave, before everyone knows. Walking up to the broken fence I see that it has been fixed. Shit. Right, that's fine. Lucy keep calm. There is another way out.
"There's no other way out." I turned around to see Natsu, why is he always here when I'm about to leave. Shit, he must know. He's going to think bad of me. I need to communicate with him. I pointed him, the me, and mimed for him to give me a boost.
"I don't know what you are saying." Natsu grinned cheekily, he knows what I'm saying. The bastard. "I'm going to speak. You're going to listen... Not that you have any other options. Give us a month. One month here, If you still feel the same, you can leave. Just give us a chance." He didn't know anything. I thought he knew. "I know it must be hard here, You should have seen me when I first came here, I went nuts. Admittedly, I never managed to escape like you did, but I did a lot of bad things. I burnt down the science block, we were burning magnesium. It went slightly too far, but I stayed. Just give us a chance. Please." He was near to begging. Why would he beg? He's known me for about a week. ((A/N: I KNOW. I STRECHED TIME OUT A BIT, DON'T HATE ME))
"So, is that a deal?" He asked, he seems desperate. Maybe I should say yes. I'll give myself a secret agreement. As soon as someone finds out, under the month, I'll leave. Smiling, I nodded my head. They don't need to know about my agreement.
Natsu's POV
Why is she always leaving? Why doesn't she want to be here? It just doesn't make sense, you wouldn't agree to come here if you didn't want to fix yourself. Unless she was forced? That's ridiculous, she's a Heartfillia, her family has everything she could want. Her life is perfect, but why is she like this?
At least I stopped her from leaving. It wouldn't be the same without her.
A/N: Sorry I'm always slow on writing these. I promise I'll write fast. Forgive me. I want to catch up with this one before I post on my other fics. I actually have two new fic ideas. I'll briefly write the synopsis, then continue with this. Merry Christmas. I hope you al get what you want, you lovely people. Much Love.
