Protector (Nalu)

Part 13

-Levi (Levy)-

I wasn't who they said I was ...I ran, feeling a sense of familiarity so I followed it and ended up at apartments, knocking on one, a boy with pink hair opened in, his eyes went wide when he saw me and I recognized him. Where from? I saw a fairy tattoo on his arm, like mine

"You're..."

He began but was cut off by a female voice from behind him

"Natsu who is it?"

Then a blonde girl emerged, she was pretty and she looked at me with an unreadable look.

"Sorry ...I-I'm looking for a girl named Lucy"

How did I know this was her place? The look on her face was shock

"L-Lev.."

The boy interrupted her

"This is Lucy. I'm Natsu."

I nodded and saw Lucy look like she would break into tears as she hugged me

"I'm Levi- No...You already know right? Did you know I wasn't dead?"

She shook her head

"Gajeel and Erza kept it from me till today, but Levy...I know you don't remember, but I ant to say sorry anyway"

Natsu smiled at us and left, so I stayed behind and talked with Lucy for a while, it felt like I'd done this thousands of times before. I asked something that I didnt even know I was about to ask

"Hows your book going?"

The shock in her face said everything

"You...remember?"

I nodded a little

"I remember a bit of things, like your house...talking like this, your book and how excited I was..."

She smiled as she lightly took my hand in hers, thats when I saw the same fairy tattoo, I had one, Droy and Jet had them, Natsu had one, Erza did too, and Gajeel ...why did we all have matching tattoos?

"Lu~chan...can I ask something?"

She nodded and looked at me

"These tattoos...what are they?...A lot of people have them...why?"

She sighed and rubbed hers

"Look Levy...or Levi whatever...This is a guild mark, it tells that you're part of something big...special"

Her eyes looked glassy when she spoke about it, like it was a bad memory

"So...did I almost die for you?"

She tensed up at my question but shook it off

"Look, a lot has happened in the past okay?...I want you to focus on your future, for Gajeel. But...It's late, you should probably get home"

I left soon after and called Jet, he happily came to get me and walk home with me.
