Her Story Part 2

(Natsu's POV)
My eyes widen in shock. "I figured it out about a year ago, when Gajeel told me stories about all the crazy things you did in school together, it took me a while but I realized they were the same stories that are in a book that Lu carries around with her nearly everywhere she goes. All the stories you told her when she was little, she wrote into a book. I know you're thinking you've got an edge on those two over there but I'm here to give you 2 warnings." She paused and took a deep breath "1. You are not the only person here who has those feelings and met Lucy as a child then became close with her and 2. I highly recommend you wait until you've captured her heart to reveal who you are to her, because her only clear memory of that boy is him yelling at her the day her mother died, then leaving her completely alone in the world. After Layla died Luke was sent off to live with their aunt and was forbidden of ever mentioning Lucy's existence to anyone while Lucy was locked away inside their mansion. Her father fired much of the staff, and avoided her at all costs. She reminded him so much of his wife that it hurt him to see her, he couldn't watch his wife die twice. So no one except for me, Luke, Mr. Heartfilia, and my mother was allowed to see her." Levy finished.
"You would never guess so much sadness hides behind a smile so strong." Erza sobbed.
"Luke visited as often as he could, told her all about his schools, and the students. He tried to show her the outside world with his stories. Sometimes he'd sneak her to an ice cream shop that one of the maids owned, technically it was still on their property but it was past the garden. Luke fought hard with their father for over 6 years to earn Lucy this freedom, it hurt him to see her locked away like a prisoner, in her own home like a princess in a tower. Thus his nickname for her." Levy finished.
"Why are you telling us all this?" Jellal asked.
"And what's with the warnings?" I asked.
"Well I don't like Loke, I don't know how Lu feels but she does refer to him as Professor Perv, and Juvia is absolutely in love with Gray and Lucy knows it, so it's likely that she will encourage Juvia to confront Gray just as she did with me and my feeling for Gajeel. Which leaves you, and while I don't approve of you abandoning my best friend, I have a gut feeling that it's a semi acceptable excuse. And I'm telling you all this because it's important to understand her past to understand her now and I don't want you guys to accidentally hurt her feelings because you didn't know" She concluded. "Now come on, judging by Lucy's blushing face, Juvia has gotten to the pervy parts of her life."
"Wait you two planned this talk?" Loke asked.
"Well actually there's 3 of us, and now that you all know her past if any of you harm her; Luke, Juvia, and I will kill you and make sure your body is never found." She said with the most menacing expression I've ever seen. Levy turned back and pulled Gajeel along who was just smirking.
