Hi guys and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! This is another slight filler (sorry, I just wanted to show in more depth how Lucy is dealing with this). And since Levy wasn't in the last chapter she will be making an appearance in this one. That's enough of an intro… ENJOY


Lucy held back Levy's hair as she emptied her stomach into the toilet. She watched as Levy's slim shoulders shook with each retch, violently quivering.

"Are you ok?" Lucy, concerned, asked for the hundredth time once Levy had finally stopped vomiting.

"I think I got food poisoning from that new Chinese Place Freed and I ordered takeout from," Levy panted after gagging when trying to drink some water, "I feel like total crap,"

Lucy handed her a wet wipe from her purse, and dabbed at Levy's face in a mother like way. Levy closed her eyes, relaxed.

"Thank you, Lu-chan. You have no idea how much I needed this," Levy rubbed her head, "Plus I have a killer headache. Remind me to never order from Tiger Noodles again!" Levy let out a dramatic groan.

Lucy nodded sympathetically, secretly happy to have Levy's food poisoning to occupy her mind instead of the events of two weeks ago. Her and Natsu haven't talked about it since that night (every time he tried she would the subject or flat out run away) and she could tell he was really worried about her from his constant text messages, and the fact he had stopped sneaking into her bed. He had always climbed into her window to sleep with her because she was (as Natsu Claimed) "comfy". At first Lucy was horrified, but it was easy to grow used to and he was warm (it saved on heating). The fact that he had stopped was probably because he was worried it might trigger her to have someone in else in bed, and she was both thankful that he was trying to do the right thing and make her feel safe, but angry that he was acknowledging that the incident happened and that it could in some way change her. She has been making a point to seem happier whenever he was around, to show him she was ok, show him that she could forget. Levy looked up at her after splashing water on her face and wiping it with an already damp paper towel.

"You should get to your class, I'm fine, really," Levy walked to the bathroom door, and motioned for Lucy to exit by using it.

"You sure you're ok?" Lucy questioned. Levy managed a grin.

"Totally Lu-chan! I better go too, I have class," Levy inspected herself in the mirror, she was wearing black leggings and an orange sweatshirt advertising a summer camp that Levy was a councillor at four years ago. Her blue hair was pulled into a small messy ponytail. After fiddling with her hair, until she decided it was fit to leave, she headed for her dance room, blowing Lucy a kiss on her way out. Lucy giggled, and made her way to class. She stopped, suddenly worried that Levy's nausea would somehow interfere with the fact she twirls quite often in class. Lucy turned to warn her, but the blue haired girl as gone.

She saw Natsu on the hallway. He pulled her aside so suddenly that Lucy ended up falling into his arm. He steadyed her quickly, then stepped away from her slightly.

"We need to talk Luce. You can't just pretend that there is nothing going on. It's been weeks and-"

"Talk about what?" Lucy asked innocently. She looked at her watch, "Sorry, I have class," Lucy pushed past him. He grabbed her arm.

"Well it's my free period, so I think I will tag along," Natsu's voice was scarily calm, and Lucy flinched. Noticing her reaction, Natsu grinned, but it seemed fake, even masklike. She saw hints of worry and fear in his eyes, and it made her feel guilty. She was the one making him feel like this. She was the one that got him involved. She rubbed his arm.

"Great! Can't wait for class to start!" Lucy wondered if her smile was more convincing than his.


"Great job guys!" Lucy had a huge grin plastered on her face, "Make sure to drink some water on your way out!" Lucy watched her class exit the the room. Kinana, one of her students that she doesn't know as the others, came up to Lucy.

"I was wondering if you have any positions that help with lower back pain," Kinana asked. Lucy could see Natsu airing out his black tank top in the back of the room. His scarf was tied around his head.

"I would recommend the two-knee twist," Lucy told Kinana. She was a cute girl with her green sports bra and matching green and black leggings. Her purple hair was in simple bob, and her green eyes-

Lucy froze, green eyes. Images came barreling at her from the party. The pain between her legs came back, overwhelming her. Lucy tried to calm herself down when Kinana set her a worried look. Lucy wanted to form the words, "I'm fine," but her mouth didn't work, she felt like she did that night, unable to make a sound.

Lucy was back there, in Cana's guest bedroom. Mr. Brown Hair above her, stripping her down. Her body was burning, flames curling up, cupping her face. she wanted to scream, but she heard only a whisper, her voice,

"Nothing happened," Lucy heard her voice over and over, as the pain increased. She felt something warm and comforting on her cheek pulling her out of the nightmare.

"Lucy!" she saw Natsu shaking her. Lucy was back in the yoga room. It was all a weird hallucination. She tried to take some calming breaths.

"What happened?" Lucy panted out. Natsu ran his fingers through his pink hair.

"I don't know Luce. One second you were talking to some girl, then you were on the ground having a panic attack, or whatever that was…" Natsu's eyes suddenly glowed angrily, "Did she saw something that triggered you?!" Natsu asked, trying to stay calm. Lucy shook her head.

"It wasn't her fault… her eyes… the looked like his eyes," Lucy paused when Natsu grabbed her hand. Lucy chuckled, "I know it's stupid, but one minute she was there, but the he was, and it wa even more terrifying than- Natsu pulled her into a hug, smothering the tears that were about to form in her eyes. She closed her brown eyes, letting his warmth surround her.

"I'm sorry," Lucy mumbled into his torso. Natsu looked down at her, confused.

"For what?"

"Getting you involved with this,"

Natsu tightened his grip on her

"It's not your fault Luce… you need help," Natsu kissed the top of her head as Lucy choked on a sob.

"I don't want to need help…" Lucy cried into the instructor's chest He rubbed her back, trying to shush her sobs He pulled away.

"We both have class next. Will you be ok? he asked. His black eyes were wide with worry. Lucy wiped her face, and gave him a glowing smile, almost convincing.

"Of course I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be. Nothing happened," Lucy grinned at him, but iNatsu could always tell when Lucy was faking. Unsure what to do, he patted her head and left her, wondering how everything can change in one horrifying event.
