Recap

Lucy goes back to school and meets up with the group. Erza asks her to help decorate/plan the Winter formal. Lucy accepts.

Natsu and Lisanna walk up holding hands, making their relationship official to Lucy's own eyes.

The group parts ways heading to class when Lucy is stopped by the white haired teen. She threatens Lucy and her partnership with Natsu.

This ticks Lucy off, and she gets into an argument with Natsu after school.

Natsu forced Lucy to tell him what's wrong. When she reveals why she is upset, he simply responds with "I know"

Lucy POV

He was getting way too close, and I had so many feelings and emotions flooding around my body that I just wanted to leave. I decided to tell him so I could make my escape.

"Your girlfriend threatened me to stay away from you." I announce while pushing him away from me.

He just looks at me and smiles.

God that smile.

"I know." He says.

What?

Everything seemed to stop for a moment, but only for a moment. Every emotion and feeling flooding through my body, started to again but more intense than before.

"What do you mean 'you know' Natsu." I snap.

I didn't realize until now that our little quarrel was extremely inappropriate given the setting we were in.

A mages memorial yard.

I clench my fists, close my eyes, and take a deep breath.

Before that pink haired idiot can say another word I stop him.

"Don't say anything. I don't care. Let's get this project portion done. This is extremely disrespectful to our mages." I explain calmly.

He looks at me also taking a deep breath, and says "Fine."

He slips the backpack off his tense muscular shoulders, zipping it open, and pulling out the camera.

"This is an extremely important part of Fiores history, but also incredibly sad. The mages memorial." I say professionally as he interviews me. 

As we walk through the rows headstones we bow our heads, taking in a moment of silence.

I notice Natsu losing focus, searching for something.. or someone.

Natsus POV

Lucy and I calm down. I do badly wanted to tell her the truth about Lisanna and I right there, but she was right. It was not the time or place.
