Best Friends and Screaming Lizards
Lucy sat at the bar with a huge stack of books next to her. She hunched over a novel on the counter, reading fervidly. Her puffy red eyes warned all who approached her to back away slowly. Mirajane offered her a drink of some kind that the celestial mage kindly declined. She then offered her a tissue; Lucy took it and blew her nose.
Across the room Erza and Gray looked at one another with worried expressions.
Whenever Lucy got like this, she didn't normally come to the guild. That meant something was up.
Levy cautiously approached the teary eyed girl. She sat down next to her and patted her shoulder, sympathetically.
"Everything okay, Lucy?" Lucy looked up from her book and nodded as a glistening tears leaked out of her blue, blue eyes. Levy laughed at the scene.
"Honey bunches of oats, something's wrong. What's going on?" She wrapped an arm around her shoulders and shook her gently. Lucy broke down crying. Levy's throat tightened as she held her best friend; Lucy wasn't supposed to be upset, let alone cry. Ever.
"Let's go for a walk, Luce." Levy grabbed the disturbed Lucy by the hand and led her outside to the the grassy hills that over looked the guild. The breeze was warm and comforting as the two found a nice tree to sit under. They sat down and Levy took Lucy's hand.
"Lucy, what happened?" The celestial mage wiped her eyes and took a few shaky breaths in. She was quiet for a moment and then spoke in a small, hoarse voice.
"We b..broke up, Levy." A new wave of tears came on, and Lucy sloppily brushed them away. Levy just looked at her.
"You what? You were going out with someone?" Levy couldn't quite wrap her head around the idea. She rubbed her friend's back as Lucy took in deep breaths.
"Yeah. It was only for, like, two months, but... I'm just hurt." Levy shushed Lucy when her pain took over again and she began wailing.
"Oh, Luce, it'll be okay. I promise, it'll all be okay." As Levy comforted her friend, she saw a certain salamander come marching out of the guild on fire. It was weird because there wasn't the normal crash or ice magic that followed him. It was just Natsu. On fire. Walking towards the two girls.
Lucy didn't notice him, until the smell of smoke made her cough. She looked up at the boy and wiped her eyes, blushing fiercly.
"What the heck are you doing here?" She asked, embarrassed and upset that Natsu was here in the first place, watching her cry.
"Who made you cry?" The quietness of his voice caught both mages off guard. Lucy didn't look up at him as she replied.
"No one that matters anymore, now go away! Go smoke on someone else." Lucy batted a hand at the smoke, fanning some away. Natsu stomped back towards the guild grumbling but surprisingly obedient. Then he veered left and proceded to scream at the top of his lungs for all the town of Magnolia to hear.
"LUCYHEARTPHILIAISMYBESTFRIENDANDTHEJACKASSWHOMADEHERCRYISDEADMEATWHENIGETMYHANDSONHIM!"
Both girls sat in shock at the proclaimation; Levy tried so hard not to laugh that she snorted. Lucy turned to Levy and sputtered. Both girls began to laugh. Lucy's tears of sadness soon became tears of mirth.
Levy smiled at her friend's happiness. They both watched on as Natsu stomped around the town, throwing people out of his way, and yelling profanity that would make the hardiest of sailors blush. Gray and Juvia walked outside and waved up at Levy and Lucy. The girls waved back as Gray turned to look at Natsu. He shook his head and Juvia laughed. Levy messed up her friends hair and patted Lucy's head.
"You know, with friends like Natsu, who needs anyone else?" Lucy nodded absentmindedly and brushed away the last of her tears.
"Unless, he's your next target." Levy wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and Lucy rolled her eyes.
That didn't stop Levy from noticing the blush creeping up on Lucy's face.
"Luuucy and Naaaatsu, sitting in a tree- K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
Even as Levy ran for her life from the murderous intentions of Lucy, she knew her friend would be all right. Maybe not today, but tomorrow sure was looking bright.
Levy made a face at Lucy and began laughing while running, which led to more laughing. As she looked back one more time to make sure she was safe from Lucy's wrath, she collided with something very solid. Before she knew it, she was on the ground, looking at the world upside down. Then she started laughing all over again.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Her laugh ceased for a moment, while she took the time to realize she might've run into a someone not a something. But her smile returned just as brightly when she saw who it was.
Gazille didn't have a way with words. Nor would he ever, but something about the way the blue haired girl named Levy smiled at him was breathtaking.
"Sorry 'bout that, sir," Levy laughed at the man sitting on the ground next to her, "I was just running for my life." A war cry came from off in the distance. Lucy was gaining on her.
"Whoops, gotta go." Levy jumped up and was off again, before Gazille could utter a word. As he watched her run, he got the distinct feeling that this was only the beginning of hit and runs.
"Well, fuck."
This was just a little something. I like the whole idea of Levy and Gazille. Whoooo, that's a couple with problems. But problems are fun, no? This isn't really anything that relates to anything else, but I wish I would have had a friend like Levy there when I had guy issues. Well, now, we must'n't dwell on the past. Onwards! (Keep an eye out for Levy and Gazille- I'm in love with that pairing, and I've lots of idears. :D) Yay for long titles and short chapters.
