"Thank you for the meal, but I have to go." His onyx leaves hers in an instant and suddenly she was watching his back walk out of the restaurant.
What the hell just happened? Puzzled, she quickly pays for the meal and exits the restaurant as well, chasing after him. "Wait for - Natsu!" She cried out, watching him turn into a sprint and run away. He turned into an ally and disappeared from her view, but just as she reached the ally, he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Disappointed, she sighed and turned away from the ally, and walked back to the restaurant slowly. She had been wishing for quite a long time to meet this "Natsu" and when she does? He ups and leaves when she gets too close. Her fist clenched. She should have known not to get too close.
As she, herself, returns to her apartment - safely this time - and locks the door behind her, her hand reaches the doorknob of her room when a dark voice makes her jump. "So you're Lucy Heartfilia, huh?" She jumped and turned around to see the same raven-haired man that "Natsu" was with a while ago. Her heart stuttering with fear, she bends her knees as she backs up frightened.
"Who the hell are you?!" She shouted, raising her apartments keys as the only simple weapon she had in her reach. Her gut turned at how lame this situation was.
"I'm Gray Fullbuster, Natsu's Nakama." Nakama? His dark blue eyes watched hers. He had long black pants and a necklace on, but there was no shirt to be seen. His narrow eyes looked at her with curiosity. "Natsu and my team had bumped into you on the way home in Clover. There, we got into a fight and I had sent him flying towards you, but you -" He frowned, stepping closer as he pointed his index finger at her. "You kicked him and sent him flying - flying away from you."
"What the hell does that have to do with breaking inside my house?!" Lucy didn't know how to react or what to do. What did anything have to do with everything he was doing right now? He was breaking an entry!
Gray, raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm not trying to scare or threaten you." He simply put. "I just came to warn you."
"Warn me?" Her lips turned down.
His eyes narrowed again, but this time it was menacing. The man had a scar on his left jaw, a cut over his eye, and another one over his chest. It was as if someone had tried to impale him with a sword and failed. "It's about Natsu."
