Quickly, the white fingers dashed across the keyboard to type. She had to send an email before dropping off papers to her boss, they needed him to sign off on some things. When finished she adjusted the headband on her head and grabbed the papers from the desk. She rushed to Gray's office and knocked, a muffled come in her from the other side.

Levy pulled on the bottom of her skirt as she made her way towards Gray's desk, his elbows on the table. She dropped the small pile on his table as she sighed. She adjusted her appearance as Gray thanked her. She turned and took a step as he called our to her.

"Wait a second."

She stopped in her tracks, turning back to her boss. She grew nervous as he gestured her to come closer. When she had, he reached out to her wrist before he raised the blazer sleeve.

"What is this?" He asked, an eyebrow raised. She retracted her hand and pushed her sleeve down.

"Ah I just hit my wrist on the table when I tripped." She lied, a tight smile forming on her face. Gray's placed his two fingers on his temple with his eyes closed, he took a deep breath before his dark eyes gazed up at me.

"Why are you lying to me?"

She swallowed, "I don't think is an appropriate conversation between coworkers."

He let out a breath and leaned back in his leather chair. "I'm speaking to you as a friend, now tell me what happened." He gestured to the chair in front of his desk as she sat down, look at the table.

He looked her upset figure as she debated on telling him what was actually going on. She deeply loved Gajeel, even after everything he's done. Whether to lie to her boss and her friend was the lingering question.

"Do you remember when we first met each other?"

Wendy looked up at the bright sky, the occasional cloud lingering. It was lunch and Romeo wanted to spend it on the rooftop while they ate lunch together. They would typically eat in the cafeteria like normal people but he came up with this on a whim. So they were now sitting on a bench, the blue headed female popping a grape in her mouth.

"We used to barely talk back then." She brushed a hair behind her ear and shook her head. That seemed like such a long time.

"If it wasn't for Natsu and [Name] I don't think we would've ever been a thing." He chuckled, thanking them both in his head.

The youngest couple met at a party that Natsu had thrown when they were in seventh grade. He couldn't remember the reason for the party was but Natsu's entire Senior class was there. Romeo was a family friend so Natsu made sure to invite him. [Name] however had met her next door neighbor and brought her along too. So when they first met no one would've thought they would get together.

"When [Name] first introduced me to Natsu I thought they were dating." She smiled, taking the last bite of her ham and cheese sandwich. "[Name] had to explain to me how Natsu was planning on making a move on Lucy." Romeo looked at her, his eyebrow raised.

"Really? Natsu told me he was really into [Name], he was drunk at the time though so I don't know if that counts." He laughed, and looked at his phone. When he saw the time he stood to his feet. "We should start heading back."

She wanted to press questions about Natsu and [Name]'s past, but she packed up. If they were late the teacher would kill them, with the looks she gave it wouldn't be surprised if she would actually do it. "Point is, it was so much fun hanging out with them last time. I wish that happened more often."

After they had their lunches in hand he wrapped an arm around her.

"Agreed."

Lucy sat her boyfriend down, it has been a couple days and her period hasn't arrived. She was scared, if there was one thing to do is to talk to him.

"What's up Lucy?"

This had been the fourth time trying to work up the nerve to talk about this, if she says the words out loud it would become a reality for her. She had been to scared to make sure, so all of this is going on what she knows.

She played with her fingers. "Well.." She swallowed harshly, looking up to meet his eye.

"I think-"

The doorbell cut her off, Natsu's attention cutting off to get the door. Lucy grew furious at whoever was at the door, she was right about to tell him.

She got up from the couch and stood slightly behind Natsu with her arms crossed. When he opened the door [Name] was standing on the other side. She glanced at Lucy and saw how angry she was. "Is this a bad time?" She asked, directing the question to Lucy. "I wanted to drop off something for Natsu.." She bit her lip, if looks could kill [Name] would've been dead already because of Lucy.

Natsu shook his head. "Come in." She nodded and looked at the furious Lucy as she cautiously walked inside.

"I just came to drop this off," she smiled and held up a bag. "If you don't mind can I talk to Natsu for a second?"

Lucy's eyebrow twitched, this had been the second time that [Name] came over and ruined the important talk she was about to have with Natsu. "No I do mind." She crossed her arms, Natsu glaring at the side of her head. "Whatever you have to say can be said in front of both of us."

She crossed her arms and waited for her to say something. [Name] remained silent and looked to the floor. Natsu turned to his girlfriend, "Luce."

She turned to him, shock and annoyance visible in her body language and face. "Why are you siding with her! I'm trying to tell you something and she keeps ruining it!" Lucy point her finger at the friend who backed up.

"I'm sorry.. I'm just gonna escort myself out.." [Name] continued to back up trying to reach the doorknob. Natsu stopped her as he looked at Lucy.

"Stay." He tightly held onto her wrist as the friend bit her lip. This was wrong, she shouldn't be the cause of a fight. "We will just be a second, then you have my full attention."

He let go to hug his girlfriend as she pushed him back. "No!" He grew stunned as [Name] lowered her head and opened the door.

"[Name]!" Natsu called, the door shutting. He turned to Lucy how was still angry, all the bottled feelings were about to explode. "If your scared I have something with [Name] I don't! She was dropping off something and explaining me how to use it!" He ran a hand through his hair. "You're always like this!"

"Like what?" She questioned angrily, Natsu rolling his eyes.

"You keep judging [Name]! She's done absolutely nothing to you!" Natsu hadn't ever raised his voice at his girlfriend in anger. "Now she ran away!"

"Since you seem to love her so much stay with her!" She yelled, marching to their room. Natsu followed as he preached about how much he loved his girlfriend and how she's overreacting. "Take all your clothes too!" She threw his clothes at him from the drawer, "I don't need this!"

He picked up the clothes. "You need me Lucy! You always have!" He yelled walked over to her as she pushed him back.

"Get out!" She screamed, repeated it as she threw a duffel bag and his clothes. He got some of the random stuff she threw and grabbed his keys, walking out and slamming the door. He walked over to his car and threw the stuff inside, calling up Ezra.

"I need a place to stay.."
