Hi everyone! Welcome to the next chapter!
I'm sorry to keep you all waiting so long but
hooray Thursday is here!
I had a great trip! It was really great to see my Army Husband! Hard to say good-bye again ( ಥـْـِـِـِـْಥ)
But he has to finish Military school so I am proud of him.
This chapter I know I said was probably going to be all about Gajeel and Levy. But I changed my mind. Sorry
well even though its not all GaJevy I hope you like this chapter anyway.
See you next Thursday!
Levy lazily flipped the page in her book. She was sitting at the school's Library table with a huge stack of books next to her. As she read through the first paragraph in the book, Levy's sight blurred as she drifted into a day dream.
She was upset, not only was Gajeel a no show at school today, but Lucy and Natsu ran off campus so fast Levy couldn't even say goodbye.
Even though saying 'goodbye' to them was the least of her worries. The truth was Levy was terrified to leave the school grounds; no one was there to walk with her.
So she decided to go to the Library, but she had to think of something quick because it was closing in five minutes.
Sure enough, the five minutes did come and Levy was forced to stand to her feet. She remorsefully made her way towards the exits and strolled out of the door. Levy swallowed hard noticing that it was a lot darker then when she arrived.
The bluenette distracted her mind with her favorite stories while she dragged her feet inch by inch towards the school gates. Happily being distracted from the thought of her story Levy didn't even notice she passed the school gates. It wasn't until an unfamiliar voice called out to her that made Levy snap out of her day dream an turn around to focus on the figure.
"Hey do you remember me, because I sure do remember you!" The man smirked
Levy's eyes squinted at first but then memories of her scary night popped into her head and she recognized his face.
"Y-You! What are you doing here?" Levy tried keeping her voice as steady as she could
"I was just passing through this part of town when I recognized familiar blue hair"
"What do you want" Levy could already feel herself trembling
"Like you even have to ask, I want to pick up where we left off!" The man stepped closer
"NOO-" Levy swung up from the Library table and looked around franticly.
"J-Just a dream?"
"Attention, The Library is now closing. Please close your books and put them on the rack on your way out, thank you"
Levy immediately closed her book and walked out of the library. Why did she just dream that? More importantly when did she fall asleep? Levy let out a sigh as she made her way pass the school gates.
Upon hearing a male voice Levy's heart dropped and she swallowed. Her body stiffened and she couldn't bring herself to turn around.
"Hey shrimp I am calling you" The voice hissed
Levy's ears perked and her heart settled back in place she took a sigh of relief and turned her body to face Gajeel. She was a little surprised to see him because he wasn't in school, but based on his slightly blood shot eyes, his runny nose and his flushed face, it was pretty obvious why.
"What are you doing here Gajeel?" Levy scolded
"What do you mean why am I here?! I'm just doin' what I always do! I'm walking you home!"
"You came all this way to school just to walk me home?"
"Yeah so what if I did?"
"You're sick though"
"Don't worry about me"
"But-"
Levy was interrupted by a groan. Gajeel walked up to her and placed a hand on her head. Levy looked up to meet his dreary eyes and couldn't help the tears that began to form.
"You're annoying!"
Levy began to cry and she walked into Gajeel's chest and gave him a tight hug. Gajeel's body stiffened and a small blush appeared. Normally he would have pushed the blue haired- girl away, but hearing the small gasps of air made him realize she was crying, so he just left her there while he held his hands up a little pass his head as if he was surrendering.
"Thank you for coming Gajeel" Levy whispered.
Gajeel growled in his throat responding to Levy without a word.
XOXOXO
Natsu dragged Lucy through the crowded town. As he shoved his way through the people he made sure he kept a firm grip on Lucy's hand, so he wouldn't lose her. After a while of walking the two friends stopped in front of a huge building.
Natsu was about to open the double doors until he felt a slight tug pull him back. The man confusedly turned around to face the blonde who looked at him innocently.
"What's wrong Lucy?"
"I want to ask you something"
"Right now?"
"No next year, yes right now dummy"
Natsu stuck out his tongue before giving Lucy his full undivided attention.
"What it is?"
"Well I saw that in a poster in town there was a lunar eclipse next year.
"A lunar eclipse" Natsu echoed
"Yeah and well, Christmas and New Year's are coming up pretty soon. I heard that next year towards the end of the school year so I was thinking, silly really, but maybe we could go see it together." Lucy breathed out as a blush warmed up her cheeks, and her eyes feel to her feet.
Natsu lifted his brow then crossed his arms into his chest while putting all his weight on one leg.
"Lunar eclipses are boring ya know…"
"Oh, I've never seen one" Lucy admitted
"You haven't?"
"Does it surprise you that much? I had plans to see it with my dad but he was always a no show and I missed it every chance I got" Lucy sighed while biting the bottom of her lips
"That's lame, but you know the lunar eclipse is far away"
"I know but that's why I wanted to ask early… to make sure you're not busy but since you already saw it… I understand if-"
"I will go with you" Natsu cut her off causing her head to jerk up to look at his careless expression. Natsu smiled then threw both arms behind his head and shrugged nonchalantly. Lucy's eyes lit up and her lips curved into a smile
"Really! Great! I can't wait" Lucy cheered happily
Natsu smiled again and then parted his mouth to speak.
"Alright well if that's all Lucy…" Natsu beamed brightly as he turned back towards the doors.
"Welcome to the Fairy Tail Bar" cheered bursting the doors open.
Lucy looked around the inside as the two walked inside Natsu instantly ran up to the front of the bar, leaving Lucy observing the inside alone. The first thing Lucy noticed was a brunette haired women, who looked like she was in her bra, guzzling down a barrel of what Lucy supposed to be alcohol, seeing how the women's face was red and she was swaying back and forth.
Lucy took a few more steps slowly making her way towards the front when a familiar called out to her. Lucy instinctively turned her body towards the sound of the voice.
"Hey Gray" Lucy smiled
"What brings you here? I didn't know you came here" Gray began
"Oh I don't this is my first time here" Lucy admitted biting the bottom of her lip.
"Oh in that case would you like a tour of the place?"
"Wow sure thanks this place is so big I might get lost if I went somewhere on my own"
Gray chuckled lightly then nudged his elbow lightly into her arm signaling her to follow him.
XOXOXO
"So if this is your first time here then you never ate here" Gray spoke from the stool next to her at the bar counter.
"Is the food any good?" Lucy asked
"The food is great!" Gray answered before placing his hand over his mouth. The raven haired boy leaned in so he could whisper to Lucy.
"Although the meals would be out of this world if we had the original chief Mira around
"What can I get for you" A lady asked sending glares at Gray.
"J-Just get me two of the specials Kinana" Gray sweated.
Kinana then disappeared into the kitchen allowing Gray to take a steady breath. Lucy giggled a little then looked at Gray
"What happened to the other women… Mira did you say?"
"Yeah Mira, she was the best cook, she moved away a little while ago"
"Oh that's too bad" Lucy sighed.
Within the next few minutes the food arrived in front of them. Lucy took a bit and enjoyed every forkful she got. When the two had finished Kinana took their plates away and Gray and Lucy started a new conversation.
XOXOXO
"Gray-sama!" a bubbly voice came from behind the two.
Gray and Lucy were swift to look over their shoulders. When Lucy noticed the blue-haired girl covered in bruises she practically jumped out of her seat and tackled the girl
"Juvia!? What happened?!"
"What? Juvia is fine." Juvia spoke sweet and reassuringly.
"Why are you covered in bruises?"
"Juvia went to get Gray-sama this!" Juvia smiled and handed him a pin.
Gray's eyes widen and he too jumped from his chair grabbing the small silver pin that had 'well done' engraved to it, from her hand.
"What the… how did you get this?"
"Juvia found it for Gray-sama." Juvia said blushing
"What is it?" Lucy asked
"It's my pin"
"Juvia remembered Gray-sama lost it around somewhere in the woods, so Juvia went looking for it. It took Juvia hours but Juvia found it!"
"What's so special about a pin?"
"This just isn't any pin… This pin was given to me by my teacher Ur years ago. Her class was always hard for me, I always came out on bottom but the last time I saw her, I came out on top and she gave me this pin as a reward before quitting. I don't know why she quit but I never saw her after that. I know it must be childish to keep but this pin means a lot to me" Gray admitted
"Pretty lame story if you ask me. Once on bottom, always on bottom that's why I am always number one" Natsu's scoff came out of nowhere, behind Lucy. He leaned back to shove the rest of his food in his mouth triggering Gray to glare at him.
"What was that flame-brain!?"
"You heard me ice prick!"
"Do you want to fight"
"I thought you'd never ask"
Natsu and Gray then broke into a vicious fist fight. Lucy sweated as she inched away from the two boys and walked over to Juvia.
"That was really nice of you to find Gray's pin for him"
"Juvia just wants Gray-sama to be happy"
Lucy smiled and the girls continued their conversation. No one noticed the doors opening so they all carried on with what they were doing. It wasn't until a sweet voice spoke that caused the bar to grow quite. Natsu and Gray stopped fighting to look at the three people.
"We're back" the kind lady with white hair announced gently
"Mira!" Cana put down her barrel and ran up to her along with everyone else in the bar.
"It's been quite a while; it's great to see everyone." Mira smiled as everyone gathered a circle around her.
"Naaaattsssuuu!" Another voice squealed.
Natsu turned to face the young white haired, but before he had time to process anything a body was smashing against his. Lucy turned her body and watched the girl hold Natsu. Lucy couldn't help the sinking feeling in her stomach that caused her to get angry.
When the female pulled away Natsu started at her blankly for a second before widening his eyes.
"Lisanna!? Hey, I thought you moved away" Natsu spoke in astonishment as he stared at his friend.
"We did but Mira and Elfman had a change of heart! We're moving back and I'm coming back to school!" Lisanna cheered excitedly
There was a brief pause for a moment before Lisanna spoke again.
"I will be in class B-28!" Lisanna spoke as she looked at a sheet of paper
"Really! that's the class Lucy and I are in" Natsu said almost in shock
"Lucy?" Lisanna echoed as she lifted a brow
"Yeah Lucy" Natsu smiled as he pointed to the blonde. Lucy's eyes widened a bit as she again bit the bottom of her lip.
"Hi" Lucy breathed
"Hello! I'm Lisanna" she smiled taking Lucy's hand to shake it.
"This is the friend I was telling you about Lucy" Natsu beamed again
"Oh really?" Lucy forced a smile
"so you've been talking about me?" Lisanna smiled at Natsu.
Natsu knitted his eye brows and shrugged carelessly.
"Well this is going to be great Natsu now that we're in the same class I can help you with homework and school work after school and we can hang out like old times" Lisanna spoke excitedly.
Natsu put his hand behind his head, while Lucy let out a small sigh.
