Lucy's POV
I stood in the middle of a room filled with people who are frustrating familiar and yet, no matter how much I try, I cannot for the life of me, remember who they are no matter how hard I try. And whenever I do try my head screams in rebellion. I hope that my memories come back to me one day. I don't like the thought of hurting people who care about me.
A redheaded woman who was wearing armour came up to me. I tried not to be too nervous and I sincerely hope that I succeeded.
"Hello, my name is Erza Scarlet. I'm so happy that you're ok Lucy" she said and ended in a sob. I smiled at her hoping to cheer her up.
"Hello Erza" I said. I hope that I didn't sound to shy. Laxus said that these people were my friends and I trust him completely even if I didn't remember anything about him. It was strange how I just trusted him, but he did save me, or so I've been told.
Everyone introduced themselves one by one. They all seemed to be crying with happiness. I hated that I was the reason for their sadness but Laxus assured me that I had nothing to worry about. Even though they didn't blame me for their sorrow I still felt guilty.
I got along well with a girl named Lisanna. She was sweet like her sister, Mirajane, she told me about herself and her adventures in a place called Edolas. That name rang a bell in my head. A bell that sounded as if it was a great distance away, so far that I couldn't see it, I could only faintly hear it.
Lisanna explained to me what Edolas was before I thought about it anymore, to which I was very grateful. A small girl named Levy came to join us and I found out that we both loved books. She recommended some books which she was sure I would love. I wrote the names of the books down on my hand, Levy disapproved of me writing on my hand saying that there was always paper to write on. I explained that, even though there was paper, I preferred my hand because I was sure not to lose it. She seemed to have this little argument well-rehearsed so I presume that we had done this before my memories disappeared.
I met more unique people, and artist named Reedus, a smoker and his buddy and an insane alcoholic who drank by the barrel rather than by the glass. They were all wonderful people with their own quirks. In the far corner there was a boy with salmon coloured hair. He seemed to be sulking while a blue cat was comforting him. I wonder who he is. Do we get along?
Natsu's POV
I have no right to see Lucy. I didn't protect her. Lisanna and Happy have been telling me that it's not my fault but they're wrong. I have failed to protect my nakama. I'm glad that Laxus and his team protected and helped her where I failed to. Everyone is so happy that she's ok. I'm happy too, but I won't go and try talk to her. What if we go on another mission and next time I don't protect her she will be gone for good? I refuse to take that risk so I won't approach her.
"Happy, just leave it alone already please" I asked him. My voice was pleading. It took everything in me not to run up and tackle her to the ground in a hug. I watched the blue cat fly off to see Lucy.
She was looking at me. She looked like she was pondering something. He tackled her to the ground with tears in his eyes. She stopped looking at me and stared confusedly. I imagine that having a blur of blue fur crash into you could be mildly startling. I watched as Lily and Charla shook their heads and went to pry him off of a very confused looking Lucy. At the bar Laxus was chuckling along with his team. I turned my head. I must avoid eye contact, maybe if I avoid her she will stay away from me and therefore she will be kept safe.
Laxus' POV
Natsu stared at Lucy as she sat there on the ground looking confused. The look on her face made it impossible not to chuckle at the least. He was beating himself up about her being hurt. His logic behind it all you wonder? I have absolutely no clue. Only he knows. Lisanna stared at him and walked over to him and sat next to him. She said something and then got up and walked off.
"Laxus?" I heard Lucy, who had successfully removed Happy off of her with the help of Lily and Charla and then eventually Gajeel, ask. I turned to her. She had scratch marks in her shirt which explains why it was so hard to detach the exceed off of her. I raised an eyebrow in question.
"Who is that salmon haired boy sitting over there?" I found it strange that she called his hair salmon, the only one who called it that colour was the flame brain himself.
"That's Natsu. He always fights with Gray. Lately he's been depressed but he's usually pretty happy-go-lucky and careless" I gave her a brief description of the partner that she was unaware of having.
"Do we get along?" she asked me. How am I going to explain to her about her idiot partner?
"I guess so" I said simply. She nodded and went to go talk to Mira and the rest of the girls. I was surprised when Evergreen joined them, especially since Erza is there.
I walked over to Natsu who was sitting in his usual spot with his head on the table.
"Oi, Natsu" I got his attention. He looked up at me with dull lifeless eyes. I hardly ever spoke to this guy because all he would say was 'fight me'
What do you think? Are they in character?
