Lucy POV
"So, what was she like?" I ask Zeref softly, my hands fidgeting from lack of knowledge. "Well, it's kind of hard to explain, she was... perfection." Zeref whispered, looking around the makeshift hideout.
"Go in detail." I said, turning my phone on silent from the gossip page. Zeref seemed to be in a trance, thinking on his next statement as he also, turned off his phone from the vibration.
"She was... caring and kind to everyone around her, even if they treated her wrong. Aniko always seemed to be a mindless child but she managed to be a serious person when things had to be. She was probably one of the most loyal beings in this world, she would probably chop her hand off before going behind anyone's back." Zeref explained, almost... lovingly?
"She seemed wonderful." I whispered, choosing that it probably wasn't a good time to start fangirling.
"But, she somehow had this sad aura around her, not many people knew about it, but I did. Her facade of a childish girl was forever broken when I sensed sadness and depression basically radiating off of her."
"Oh, well, what did she look like?" I questioned, his sad demeanor instantly changing into a more joyful and compassionate one. "She was absolutely amazing, her hair went to her waist and it was a ombré combination of black to red.
Her eyes were one of the rarest and most enchanting colors too, it was faded gray that had a slight rainbow undertone. She even proved that they weren't contacts." Zeref sighed.
"What about her hobbies and outfits?" I cocked my head, soaking in the new information. Zeref chuckled.
"She was like a female nerd-jock. Accelerating in every sport and every class with minimum effort. I'm pretty sure she was the captain for the boy's football team too, but anyways, she always wore Nike crop tops and short shorts."
"And she didn't get dress coded how? I thought Fairy Tail Academy had a uniform."
"We only got those a few weeks ago, but she always somehow snuck past the limits or found loopholes. But anyways, she would wear her hair in a perfect messy bun and the cutest little bangs on the side."
"You sound infatuated with her." I chuckle, causing Zeref's eyes the widen and his ears to turn red. He scratched his head awkwardly and slightly chuckles. "I honestly have no idea why she stuck with me, I've known her since middle school and ever since the first time she saved me, she didn't leave. I'm grateful."
I'll have to ask him about her parents, telling by his eyes, this Aniko Onkau doesn't have the same last name as her parents. Maybe they own a business? Hmm..
"I still don't know why someone like her would help out with a loser like me" Zeref thought out loud, snapping me from my own thoughts. "Zeref! That's no way to speak to yourself! You are not a loser, you're Zeref, Zeref Dark."
He slightly sniffed and nodded, giving a grateful smile. "Thanks Lucy, Lucy Heart." I slightly stiffen at the mention of the fake name.
Didn't I tell Zeref about me being a Heartifilia? I thought I did? Did he forget?
"But on a darker note..." I trail off, brushing off the fact of the sudden use of fake identity. "Hmm?"
"Why did her parents send her away?"
Zeref flinches. "I-I rather not say." He stutters. "It's fine, and speaking of which, we should get going, I wanna see everyone before we leave" I chuckle dryly. "Yeah, alright"

"Dobengal!" I screamed jumping onto his back. "Hmm?" He startled as he looked behind him. "Lucy!" He screams pulling down his black mask to speak while putting me down to pick me up again to spin me around. Everyone in the hall looks towards us.
"Hehe! I haven't seen you since I left! How's life here without me?" I laughed. "Awful" He laughed. "Did you dye your hair lighter?!" I frantically asked yanking off his black hoodie and ruffling his seemingly lighter brown hair.
"Yeah, didn't think anyone would notice. Hmm? Who's that?" He casually asked, still holding you. "Hmm?"
"Him." He asked, blankly pointing at the blackette. "Oh!" I yelp, jumping off of Dobengal and running over to Zeref.
"Guys! This is Zeref, Zeref Dark!" I screamed, as I held onto his shoulders. "Act natural" I whispered.
"Oh? Is he your boyfriend?" The brunette asked seriously. "Yeah, glad you noticed." I answer as Zeref stiffened at the claim. I squeeze my hand on his shoulders harder to get him to relax.
The crowd around us gasped. As we walk towards the ninth and tenth grade hall, I tap Dobengal on the shoulder and give him my number which he smiled to.
He was my best guy friend anyways, so I thought we should stay in contact.
We walk through the doors and as the door closes I smile. "That wasn't that bad. I just want to see one more person then we'll be on our way, okay?"
Zeref wipes a bead of sweat off his forehead and nods. "He kinda has this obnoxious friend— speak of the devil." I whispered. I look up and see two figures.
"Oh! Rufus! *Cough Orga."
Orga doesn't say anything as I walk up to his mannered friend. "Hey Rufus,"
"Hello there, if memory serves me correct you were picked to go to Fairy Tail."
"I came back for a visit, but anyways, have you and Minerva been talking?" I asked as his ears turned red. "W-Well um.."
My eyes lit up. "Are you guys official?!" I asked as I jumped up and down in excitement. "We're not official, but we are getting there." Rufus answered stoically but his face that was flushed in red gave away everything.
Wait.
"MINERVA DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!!"
