Everyone was rowdy as always at the guild. Mira Jane was at the bar serving Cana a drink or two, even though it was only about 10 in the morning. Levy was studying a book while Gajeel was talking with panther lily. Gray was eating while he tried to get over Juvia staring at him. Erza was just sitting and listening. Wendy and carla sat at a table just talking lightly, they were rather new to the guild and were still unsure how to fit else was talking loudly and enjoying each others company. Master sat at his usual spot on the bar looking over everyone. Happy had made it to the guild and placed himself on a bar rail directly opposite the mission board. They hadn't yet placed any new missions, but Happy was going to be there first for when they do.
Lucy and Natsu made it to the guild. Natsu held the door open for Lucy and once inside they joined hands again. Everyone glanced just to see who had came in.
"Hi Lucy!" yelled a very excited Levy. Lucy gave a wave and smiled.
"Hey Natsu you actually made it here for the good jobs I see" Gray said condescendingly. Natsu just gave him a grimace. They made their way to the tables that their friends were at choosing the empty seats across from Wendy and Carla. Wendy looked up slightly. She was surprised. Fairy Tail was so nice to them, but why would they want to sit with her?
"Hi Wendy" Lucy said cheerfully.
"Uh Hi" Wendy was a bit nervous.
"Hey Levy what are you studying now?" Lucy asked. Levy looked up.
"Oh just some lacrama that Gajeel and I found in a waterfall cave. I hadn't seen it before and wanted to study it" Levy replied. Studying and finding out things always got her excited. Gajeel stopped what he was doing to listen to Levy talk. He always wore the same unhappy expression on his face, but when it came to Levy he always listened.
"So Natsu i'm surprised you could even get your lazy butt out of bed. What, did Lucy have to drag you out?" Gray asked with a smirk.
"All right ice boy lets go right now" Natsu yelled, he was so ready to take on Gray! Since first arriving at Fairy Tail Gray and Natsu had always gone at it. Maybe it's from the Fire vs. Ice magic? Clashing their heads together with magic forming in their hands they were ready.
"Natsu not this morning ok" Lucy said so quietly its a wonder Natsu even heard her. She rarely got like this. Quite, timid, scared. Really only when she had a feeling something was going to happen.
Natsu quickly stopped was he was doing. "Ok Lucy" Natsu said. Gray was puzzled. Nothing should be able to stop Natsu. He's hard headed and stubborn. Their friends around them had stopped to watch the fight when Lucy Spoke. Natsu sat back down. Lucy's head was now hanging down with her hands around her arms. Natsu pulled her into a hug and kissed her head. Most at the guild knew that they had been in a relationship since they arrived but even to them they acted different.
"You guys already act like a married couple, whens the wedding already?" Erza busted in. Erza was notorious about getting straight to the point no matter if feelings were hurt or not. For those that were close enough they saw.
They saw the moment Erza spoke, how both Lucy and Natsu's eyes went big. Not like it was a shocking thing to hear, but almost fearful. They both knew that next month would be their birthday. Natsu had let go of Lucy so that he could slam his fist on the table and yell
"You don't get the say that. You don't have the right too" Natsu was yelling at Erza. ERZA! Everyone in the guild stopped. They starred at Natsu. Erza's face was actually for the first time since meeting him in shock. Lucy had gone to starring at the back of Natsu's head.
"Natsu calm down, she didn't mean anything by it" Gray tried to calm him down. Natsu was just so angry. They would get married when they wanted to. No one needed to ask them questions. Wendy and Carla at this point were more than scared. Happy had flown over when he heard Natsu.
"Natsu please sit down" Natsu heard Lucy, her voice sounded on the verge of tears. Natsu stayed in place though. Even Gajeel at this point was clueless. Natsu normally only got like this when lives were at stake, but he saw no one in danger.
"Lucy?" Levy asked. She was concerned and worried. She just wanted to help her friend. When Levy asked Lucy just cried. Not a crippling cry, just a slow stream. Lucy got up and ran to the bathroom. Everyone watched as she ran. Once she was gone all attention turned to Nastu. By this point of seeing Lucy run off crying he lost some color to him and sat down shaking. He just kept his face in his hands. Everyone waited. They needed an explanation.
