Chapter 28
Lucy and Gray talked more, and the more she spoke with him, the more memories that seemed to flow back. She began reciting times she shared with her mother and father with intricate detail and Gray learned things about Lucy that she would never have shared to anyone if she was in complete control of her currently confused body and brain. They laughed and ranted about their past and present, and Gray told her all he knew about the most recent events including Sting and Rogue.
Finally, it was around four in the morning and he was exhausted from the day he had had and decided that heading back to Fairy Tail would be the best option. "Look, no one's forcing you to come back or anything, but if you wanna come with me, Fairy Tail's doors are open for you." "Are you sure?" "Positive." Lucy had to think for a second, but as Gray started to walk away she rushed towards him and began to walk beside him for the rest of the journey back to the guild they called home. Arriving at the doors of Fairy Tail, Lucy said "I thought you said the doors were open for me?"
"Very funny smartass, but its five in the morning and I wanna sleep so I'll just walk you in and then leave okay? Ask Levy to take you to your house." "I have a house?" Gray pushed open the doors and the members all turned around from their meetings to stare at the two in the doorway. The guild burst out in a whirlwind of cheers and tears as they welcomed their lost friend home. "Lu-chan! Where have you been?! We've been looking everywhere for you!" "Gray found me, I apparently ran home."
"We checked your place bunny girl, but it was empty every time." "No, I meant my childhood home Gajeel; and why do you call me bunny girl?" Just then the crowd parted in two in order for a salmon haired boy to walk straight towards Lucy and stop to stand right in front of her. The room became so silent you could hear a pin drop, as Natsu stared down the blond with a long look that couldn't be translated into any emotion.
The dark eyes had returned and Lucy was about to burst into tears before Natsu threw his arms around Lucy and pulled her to his chest in a tight embrace. "Luce, don't ever leave me again. Please. I don't know what I'd do without you. I love you so much." Lucy couldn't believe what she had just heard and based on the multiple uncontained squeals, no one else could believe it either. Suddenly, what felt like fog had lifted from Lucy's mind allowing her memory to resurface. Lucy pulled away slightly and looked deeply into Natsu's eyes. "I love you too Natsu."
