Hey im so sorry for the lack of updating. The whole covid things got me really unmotivated. I cants ee some of my family members, my boyfriend, and overall i've been in a bad mood as of recent. I thought id come back to wattpad, mainly because of my boyfriend.

Im gonna start writing chapter 5, One im done i'll upload it haha. Im thankful to those of you who are baring with me through this 😅

Lucy's P.O.V~

After getting helped up by Cobra we start a silent walk back to my- or well our- apartment. I dont get it.. I thought to myself. Why is HE of all people trying to help me..
Cobra makes a 'Tsk' and points his gaze to the magnolian streets in front of us. Its dark now, the sun has already set and many of the townsfolk have already settled down inside of their homes. I direct my eyes to some of the empty market stalls lining the pavement, all packed up and closed for the night, the cathedral casting a soft shadow over them as the moon  behind it. It's so quiet..its peacful.. I smile softly, feeling myself come to ease walking around the corner which leads to my apartment. I gently and carefully step onto the wall that separates the housing complexes from the magnolia river. "Careful.." I hear a voice say, i almost jump in response.
"Y-yeah!" Damn..its so quiet i almost forgot Cobra was here with me..
A few minutes of walking later we arrive in front of my apartment, creaking open the door slowly and walking inside, Cobra snaking in behind me and lying down on my couch. "Ill sleep here.." he says, i can hear the tiredness in his voice. "You go to bed" I nod gently, not wanting to reply and disturb the peace. He grabs a blanket from the coffee table and drapes it over himself.
I walk upstairs quietly, shutting my bedroom door behind me.

My eyes direct themselves to my desk and i sit down, taking off my jacket and picking up my pen, holding it between my fingers. I gently press the pen down against a piece of paper and begin writing. "Dear Mom," I pause.

...What am i supposed to write exactly??...

After a few moments of silence, i get up- changing into my PJ's and climbing into bed, leaving out the pen and paper on my desk. The second my head hits the pillow i fall into a deep sleep. The light from the street lamps and the moon casting a soft glow against my face.

-The next day-

"Blondie.." I hear next to me. I roll over to face the wall, still half asleep "mm~" I mumble.
"Blondie!" A voice, I recognize now as cobras, yells at me.
"Whatt!!" I reply, rolling over to face him. Hes stood over my bed, draped in a cloak. I can see that his clothes are torn and unkept, more than likely from the grand magic games judging my the noticable burn marks from where he battled the dragon. You'd think the magic council would at least give him the luxury of some new clothes...He looks down at me "Its 12, you're late to be at the guild.."
I look at him in silence for a second "the guild?..oh!! Crap!"
He lets out a signature 'tch' and leaves the room, walking downstairs as I scramble to get dressed. I walk down to see him sitting at the couch, his arms folded over his chest and his head down. "I suppose i have to go with you.." He mumbles quietly.
"To the Guild? Preferably yes, master makarov would probably like to see you."
"Goodie.." he responds sarcastically, getting up. "You ready or what?" He asks, looking down at me. I didn't realise he was so tall..looking at it he must be at least a foot taller than me.."oh! Yes sorry!" I smile happily, grabbing my keys from the coffee table, leaving my apartment. Cobra follows after me, shutting the door and we walk quietly to the guild. I do my usual and step up onto the side of the wall which connects the pavement to the river, balancing on it as i hum to myself. Cobra walks besides me, lost in his own thoughts. After 10 or so minutes of walking we reach the guild, spunds of a fight are already in place. "Is it normally like this?.." cobra asks, wincing at the volume, his ears twitching slightly. "Unfortunately yes" I smile. "Actually, it would probably be best if we came in thriugh the back entranc-" My sentence is cut off as Elfman flys through the doors of the guild hall, yelling man as he goes. The guild stops to stare at us, predominantly at Cobra though, glares starting to appear on their faces. Noticing the obvious tension, I walk in front of him towards the bar. He silently follows behind me, keeping his eyes on me and on me alone, avoiding the gazes of the other guild mates. The silence and tension was almost unbearable, I looked to mira and spoke "Hey Mira! Can you get us some drinks please?" She smiles and nods "of course Lucy!" Walking out back to fetch some clean glasses. I sit down at the bar and cobra stands behind me. "Take a seat?" I suggest to him. He shakes his head and mumbles "I prefer to stand.." The guild remains in an unsettling quietness. I look over to Lissana, "Hey Lisz, do you know where Master is?" He jumps in surprise. I must of startled her.."O-Oh! Master M-makarov was oit on business. H-he should be back any minute!" She replied. I noticed the obvious nervous stutter in her voice. Probably because of Cobra..he's not doing anything wrong though..

Looking around the guild I notice Natsu is no where in sight, Mira returns with 2 drinks, a Pink Lemonade for me and a small glass of whiskey for cobra. He takes it and drinks, I drink mine. The guid slowly starts to fill back up with chatter and things gradually turn back to the norm. I turn to mira, "wheres Natsu?? Shouldn't he be here?" Looking around more, non of the team are here, Natsu, Happy, Grey, or Erza? Strange.."They went on a job! I'm sorry I didn't tell you Lucy, erza had a feeling you would be bringing Cobra today, and well, you know Natsu?" She Smiles softly and goes back to bar tending. "Oh..right yeah haha.." I look down at my drink. Owch..that hirt a bit..they ditched me..

I take another sip of my lemonade through my straw, gently playing with the slice of lime and ice cubes in my glass with it. Cobra visibly relaxes and sits down, seeing the tension of the guild drop. "Whats on your mind fairy?" He asks, his gaze turning to me. "I don't know.." I reply "Lately I've just been feeling left out of things.." He nods in understandment, drinking the last of his whiskey as Mira brings him a refill. He takes another drink as the doors of the guild open, breaking me out of my thoughts. A short old man walks through, his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Master! Its good to see you! How was your trip?"
"It was lovely Mirajane, thank you for asking" He smiles, noticing me and cobra sitting down at the bar. "Lucy, can I see you two in my office?" He asks, still maintaining a friendly tone of voice. "Of course master" I reply, getting up with cobra as we follow him upstairs.

To be continued...
