Scene 7
Lucy's POV
Yesterday I Couldn't sleep. He knew. He knew all along. That was the only thing on my mind.
How embarrassing. I freshened up, then decided to head downstairs to clean, since I missed breakfast.
The boys were hanging around the elevator.
Gajeel, Gray, and of course.Natsu.
I begin to walk towards them to head to the elevator.
I hesitated, but I had no other choice.
I heard them whispering something while staring at me.
NATSU'S POV
"Morning sunshine." Gajeel winks as he wraps his arm around Lucy.
Gray's eyes go down to Lucy's knees. "Hey, dude." He chuckles. "Look at that."
He points at her bruised knees. "Naughty girl has been doing the deed." They both start to laugh, while I'm completely unfazed.
"Is that so?" Gajeel grabs her waist, "id like to see you in my bed." He smirks, as his face gets closer and closer to hers. I am bursting with anger.
"do you have this huge ego to obtain? you think you look so good. But in reality, you're just a little boy who's too scared of getting judged because you're standing up for what is right."
"Get your hands off her, dude." I lean off the wall.
"Aw Natsu, You can have some too." Gray and Gajeel laugh.
"I'm dead serious," I slap his hands off of Lucy. "Don't ever lay a finger on her ever again."
I motion Lucy to follow me into the elevator, leaving Gray and Gajeel completely dumbfounded.

It was quite awkward throughout the whole elevator trip. We were both silent and shocked about what had just occurred.
I walk to my room as she follows.
I unlock the door, "come in, I need to have a word with you."
LUCY'S POV
Natsu hates when people walk into his room. He only allows family
I hesitate but walk in anyway.
I was utterly surprised! His room was completely clean!
"Take a seat..." he said in a low voice.
I nod and sit.
"I apologize...you don't deserve to be going through all this ." I begin to bite my lower lip and look away.
He clings to both of my hands and squeezes them, not painfully but almost relaxing. It's an electrifying feeling. I shut my eyes closed and felt my cheeks heat up. "You can pack your things and I'll drop you off at the Heartfilia estate." He speaks softly. My eyes jolt open.
I look into his eyes to see sincerity. He let's go of my hands and I begin to feel cold air throughout my hands. "I won't be forcing you to keep anything hidden." He paused for a long moment. "You're free to say and do what you please.." He mumbles.
I look away, "We'll just keep this a secret between us. I enjoyed everyone here..they were all very kind and sweet to me, besides those two boys."
"I am very sorry about Gajeel and Gray ...I'm ashamed." He sighs.
"No, please don't be." Our eyes lock, "you stood up for me, thank you so much. I was wrong about you."
"It's the least I can do, Ms.Heartfilia." He takes my hand and plants a kiss on it.
My face went warm.
"I think it would be best to drop you off tomorrow morning when everyone is asleep." I nod. "Do you have any belongings here you need to get?" He Questions.
"No, I do not.."
"Okay, very well. I want you to sleep here for tonight, I've lost complete faith with Gajeel now." He glances away. "My room is all yours, I will sleep somewhere else."
I blush. "It's all right, I don't want to be a burden on you.."
"No, I insist you stay here for the night." He gives me a cheeky grin.
