But the days weren't working on their favour, there is always one person who opts to stay the whole night instead of travelling
And today's Lucy, who was checking her patients and helping other departments too
She was popular, the pretty doctor who never loses her smiles while talking
"Doctor!" A patient calls her as she walks in the hallways
"Oh, Sting...why did you come out? Are you okay?" She gets worried seeing him
"I'm fine...I was just craving for some coffee. Would you join me? Everyone is rejecting me" he pouts sadly
"I was going to buy coffee...sting! Great timing! Let's go" she leads but he walks faster matching their steps
They buy the cafeteria coffee, sitting on the empty benches on the window aisle
"So doctor heartfilia...how should we go with the conversation?" Sting says
"Why don't you talk...I'll listen"
"You always do that...today I'll listen"
"Curious about anything?" She looks at him
"Lover?" He looks down at his cup
"Yeah I skipped all those"
"You are taken...huh?" He laughs lightly
"I'm getting sold" she looks outside, the sky gaining a lighter color
"What? Oh...Business Weddings" sting hums when he understands why she said sold
"Yeah...Business Wedding" she sighs, hitting her cups to the table
They sit just a little more questions here and there and when the sun begins to rise, lucy stands up looking at it with a happy glee
"No...I prefer Sunsets but sometimes these pink sunrise is nice too" she says at Sting who gives her a thumbs up
"Here ends my shift...take care, sleep and focus on recover" lucy says walking away from the table
Sting looks at her retreating figure "She is too good..." sting crushes his cup.
He takes his phone out, clicking a picture of her as she stops to say bye to the cafeteria staff
He taps his phone to his chin, standing up and walking towards his ward
"I'm coming out now..I'll be there in 20" lucy hangs up the call to Juvia walking outside the hospital and getting inside the bus that was on time
As she enters, she look at the one empty seat beside a guy dressed in black
She was already tired...she can't care where she sits now. Flopping down and relaxing as the bus starts to move
A while in the journey, lucy starts to loose her consciousness, slowly her eyes start to drop
She slaps herself to keep awake, making the guy beside her look at her
"Heartfilia?" He says
"Huh?" Lucy was on the verge of falling asleep, she notices only the pink hair as the guy takes off his hat "natsu?...sorry..but just for a minute" she drops her head on his shoulder
"What...this woman!" He gawked, straightens his position to a comfortable one for lucy to lean on
He looks before them, a man standing in a dusted red long coat, sweating and panicking
Natsu has been following this guy, jimmy, someone who knows more about the rogues
He seemed to be in a hurry since he got out of his house after 3 days that he alone was on watch
He looks at the girl who was resting on his shoulder and back at the man. Whipping out his phone out, he texts
Natsu:
Jimmy is on the move
Gray:
Where are you?
He then tells him the details and soon enough by the next bus stop he spots Gray's car next to them
You are gonna be alonehe speaks his mind
The guy gets off at a abrupt signal stop, his steps messy and shaking. Natsu notices gray following him as sighs in relief, taking off his mask
Lucy wake up with a jerk, her eyes fluttering open at the sudden movement and the arms holding her shoulders
"Are you okay? I'm so sor-" the rest of his voice was shut off as Lucy looks at him
She just brings her mind to focus on the guy and when she does, she moves away to get a better look
"Hey!" He snaps his fingers before her
"Sorry...I'm..."
"Are you stupid? Why did you get on a public bus when you are this tired?"
"You asked us to not travel at night...and our working hours were just...not adjusting" she looks down
"Then tell us...we are always in the city anyway. We can drop you off" he says almost scolding her
Lucy looks at him "No...you have a lot of work...and what if we are in the way?"
"It's fine...just text me you're schedule and one of us will come"
"Thankyou Natsu" her lips stretched slightlyacross her face as he tilts his head at her
He walks with her till she steps up the porch of the building, turning heel immediately
