Chapter 9

Levy

After I let Lucy leave early, I led the trembling Natsu back to his room. I was surprised how well he was taking the situation since he and Gajeel have a rough history. I swear that man enjoyed causing trouble. Once we reached his room, I opened the door and gestured him to go inside. He silently wandered inside but stopped in the middle of the room.

"Natsu? Are you okay?" I asked gently, debating if I should enter the room or not. Natsu whipped his head around and stared at me with tired eyes. His face was still red from crying.

He's going somewhere else, right?" He questioned. His eyes were full of concern and desperation.

"What do you mean? Who?" I inquired, leaning against the door frame.

"Gajeet... won't be joining our sessions... right?" His voice cracked as if he was going to start crying again.

"I... He's going to be having private sessions for a while but he might join us again." I replied honestly. Natsu's expression fell and his gaze shifted to the floor. He nodded solemnly. I sighed and looked at the time. "Elfman will come to collect you when lunch is ready." I said before closing the door. I couldn't believe that everything happened within a few short hours. I brushed back my bangs, wondering if I had started getting some gray hairs from all of this stress. I only made it a few feet away from Natsu's room before a strong arm wrapped itself around my shoulders, forcefully leading me down another hallway.

"Levy. We need to make some changes around here."

I groaned. "What ideas do you have now, Erza?" I glanced up at her and the first thing I noticed was the bloodshot eyes hiding behind her messy bangs.

"We should have a criteria of who can work here and who is admitted." Erxa stated, removing her arm.

"Don't we already have that?" I questioned.

"In a sense." She huffed. "I don't like shady characters working for us or being admitted to my hospital."

"Shady people?" I raised a brow. She's not talking about Lucy, is she?
"Yes. Like that sleazebag, Lyon. I don't like him. Never have. I should have fired him a long time ago." She sighed dramatically.

"You've already done that. Then you rehired him." I replied.

"I did?" She stopped and looked at me confused. "Hm. I should fire him again then. I can fire him twice can't I? Well I am the head doctor here." She nodded satisfied and we continued walking again.

"If you say so."

"I should include that volunteer Ichiya as well to fire. He's far too disturbing." Erza shuddered. "Now, on the matter of patients. We should discuss Redfox."

"Gajeel? What about him?" I asked, turning my gaze to meet hers. Gajeel wasn't that awful. Sure he had a temper but he wasn't bad all the time.

"His temper. That's the problem. It frightens the other workers and patients." She explained. "I can't let that ruin the moral here."

I sometimes forget that she is actually cares about other people's wellbeing from time to time. "That's true." I nodded.

"We need to consider his removal of this hospital or putting him on a stronger medication to calm him down. I can't afford to have another incident. Like the one earlier this year where that pink haired patient goes on a rampage because Redfox triggered something. It's not healthy for either of them." She pinched the bridge of her nose. "Once the pink hair goes off, the rest of them follow."

"Ah yes. That time. It shouldn't be a problem as long as we can keep the two apart. Natsu has been doing much better since then and so has Gajeel... Well mostly. Maybe stronger medication will help but it won't fix him." I replied.

"We'll see about that." Ezra muttered.

Sorry I haven't uploaded soon... like I said I would. It's been a stressful few months and I was happy to upload twice in one day. And that last chapter, ignore it for now. Anyways, please enjoy! Sorry again for sucking at uploading! Dx
