"He got caught faster than expected" Gray says on call with Natsu
"Yeah...she is fine. Just scared" he looks at the girls bundled around her into the living room
"Okay" he hangs up, putting the phone back inside the pocket
Pouring the coffee into mugs on the tray
"Gray...you idiot. Why did you make this?" Erza scold him
"They'll be fine. I made it moderate"
"This is coffee..." juvia already had a sip "maybe not...what did you do?" Her face scrunched a little
"I mixed a few things...it will help with calming down"
"Actually this is good" lucy says holding it with her palms
Gray smirks at Erza who rolls her eyes
"Where did you find him?" Erza asks looking at the cat on the floor
Along with levy, playing
"He hissed and scratched me the other day and now look at those eyes" levy says
"What will happen to Sting?" Lucy says finishing her coffee
"We will take him to our world...A turned vampire is no less than a rogue"
"We talked everyday, he was...so...normal" Lucy sighs
"You'll face all types of people lu, he was just one of them. He didn't do anything extreme so...don't worry about this too much"
"I'm gonna go to my room" she walks away from the people
"Its been a dramatic season for her huh?" Levy says scratching the cats head
"And she kept asking for romance" juvia spits back the coffee into the mug
"Don't drink it!" Gray whines as erza laughs
"Don't even think about not talking to people at the hospital" Jay warns her
"Didn't it start because I talk a lot?"
"No...definitely not. You make them feel so much better when you keep those conversations"
They leave the college building, walking towards the parking lot
"Wait here, my car is at the back" he walks away
Lucy swings on her heel, listening to songs on shuffle
A familiar tune plays and she feels better humming along
she looks around her "where is he?"
A car roars before her but it wasn't Jay's, confused she moves to see who the driver was
Her shoulder recieved a tap, she whirls around stumbling almost at the closeness of the person
Hands on her waist as their eyes meet, natsu gives her a boyish smirk
But Lucy reacts differently, she wraps her arms around him
Now natsu freezes as his hands awkwardly hold her
"Lucy?"
"Wait...just for a...minute" she pulls him closer to her
Natsu couldn't stop himself from doing the same, his lips right next to her ear
The strawberry and vanilla scent was so addicting along with her blood
His mind flashes to a conversation he had with gray days back
"Did you heal her?" Gray asks as they sit in class
"Yeah, the blood won't stop" he adjusts his hair
"And did you notice anything?"
"What do you mean?"
"Rei went nuts when he smelled her, me too...for a minute" gray taps the table with his pen
"I had drops...and it somehow triggered my powers" natsu says in a calm voice
"Wh-what? That's not...that's.." gray gasps
"We need to talk to her mom, she will help us know more" Natsu looks at gray "because her father is definitely useless"
