A small smile grazed her lips while tears whelmed up in different emotions as a large hand caressed the back of her head, a strong arm gently bringing her in a comfortable, safe embrace.
Lucy's eyes fluttered open from her sleepiness, stretching her body under the blankets. A content sigh escapes through her, lazily laying on her tiny bed.
Her eyes turn towards her small phone to see notifications running wild on the screen.
She grabbed it and rubbed her eyes before scanning, then glancing at the time.
10:46 am
Her mind doesn't seem to register for a good solid minute before scrambling out of bed in utter chaos to finally connect the obvious dots.
Lucy was supposed to be at work right now. Her shift started at eight in the morning, or had started at that time.
"Oh my god, oh my god I'm so late! My alarm didn't go off, what the hell-?!" Lucy paused to check that her alarm was set on p.m, not a.m. Plus her phone hadn't even charged last night, so it was below fifteen percent. "'Ōpiopio!"
She tried snapping the charger end into her phone several times, then let out a devastating groan to find out it was broken now.
Those chargers were expensive as hell, and now she was going to need to save more money for that. She had bills, food, the landlord lady-
"E ku'u Akua, I can't deal with this now," Lucy panicked, shoving her work clothes and extra makeup in her worn-out backpack.
"Siri, text Levy that I'm running late and then call her!"
"Okay, I texted Levy 'I'm running late,' now calling~"

Natsu grumbled with his arms crossed, a thin line spread on his lips. His foot tapped slowly, the situation completely off from his routine.
He did his first workout earlier today, and now he was standing inside the café leaning against a wall.
Some customers went to the barista side, ordering drinks and conversing with the girl who was on the shift.
And that's where his problem stopped to practically wave red halt signs at the scene.
Natsu has no interest to order from the overly-preppy girl with voluminous brown hair and eyes to match, her gaze constantly catching over towards him. He knew a thot just by looking, and he wasn't anywhere interested by the very least to ask for a drink now.
"Oh, so now you're not in the mood for coffee? Hmm, I wonder why."
A familiar voice calls from the side. How she can say that really strikes his nerves.
Natsu rolled his eyes at Levy, who approached him. "Yeah yeah, laugh it up. Maybe I'm just-"
A ringing phone cut Natsu off, and both froze to notice that Levy's device was blowing up in her pocket.
"Hold that thought, salmon," Levy waved him off and mindlessly clicked the speaker button since the café was booming with customers. "Hello?"
