Chapter 5: Secrets
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail!
Lucy quietly closed the door behind her,looking over to her guests sadly. Levy and Gajeel had settled on the loveseat, his arm around her. Lucy sat down across of them on the floor picking her cup of tea up, sipping it. "She's asleep now. The past days were hard for her. I can't believe them. I noticed the way the new members were behaving towards her... But to believe that our older Nakama are behaving like that. But Gray shocks me."
"Something doesn't fit in the picture. Even if he really doesn't like her, she's Nakama, which means everything to him. He simply believes Lori. That doesn't seem right.", Levy sighed and Gajeel grumbled "I really want to kill the stripper. If he wants to get into that bitch's pants that badly, that he hurts Juvia..." Gajeel had the habit to call everyone nicknames, so it was special for him to say her name.
Levy smiled softly and Lucy was about to open her mouth to say something, when the door was thrown open and a male was thrown inside. The door was thrown close loudly. "What's this going on about, flame brain! I wasn't aware you even knew her name!", a deep voice yelled. It was Gray, a bruise was blossoming on his cheek, Natsu's assault must have come out of nowhere.
Natsu was about to answer the ice mage but Lucy was faster. She shushed Gray with the following words "Be quiet! Juvia's sleeping... It doesn't seem to matter to you, seeing you don't seem to care about her, but she's been through a lot the past days. She needs the rest. That goes for you, too Natsu. I'm sure we all would like to see you beat him up, but now's not the time.", Lucy bit and glared at Gray. Natsu nodded and let Gray be.
"I know this doesn't look good for me right now guys, but believe me. I know it seems like I hate Juvia, it seems like I am agreeing to everything Lori says. But it isn't what it looks like. Please don't hold any grudge against me.", Gray explained. "Then why the fuck are doing all this.", Levy cussed.
In another situation Gajeel would have smirked and would have complimented Levy for swearing. He was proud of his shrimp, but it was not the time for kidnapping her and not let her out for 2 days to show her his pride. She really was his shrimp.
"I have my reasons!", Gray exclaimed, and Gajeel jumped up. The larger black haired rushed over to his guild mate and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Pushing the ice mage against a wall he growled. "I don't care if you have your damned reasons! You don't need to tell your stupid reasons to us, but tell her, she deserves to know. She deserves to know why you dumb ass treat her like shit. She doesn't deserve that!"
"I know she doesn't.", was all Gray mumbled before pushing Gajeel to the side. "I'll wait until she's awake don't worry.", he added with a side glance at Lucy before storming into the room Juvia was currently sleeping in.
"Has any one got a slight idea, what the heck is going on here.", Natsu, clearly confused, asked. Gajeel was still furious, but used his anger, to grab Levy and leaving with her on his back, leaving Natsu and Lucy alone. "You know something Natsu. And you suck at hiding it from me.", the blonde turned to the pink haired male. She had her eyebrow raised and Natsu sighed.
He sat down on the love seat and began to tell the blonde what he knew about Gray's behavior.
I'm devastated about not updating in the past weeks...I had a lot to do with our huge school concert (7000 people in the audience *_*) and since I had one of the biggest roles I couldn't get out of the theater...
