The guild.

It's not where I want to be, but it's where I am.

I told Natsu I'd see him today, and I didn't want him to show up unexpectedly at my home.

Luckily, he's busy picking a fight with Gajeel across the room, far away from my seat in the corner.

My eyes watch him as they argue about nothing.

"Natsu can be quite rowdy, can't he?"

I look to my side to see Gray smirking in the direction of Natsu.

"Yeah, that's for sure."

"So I'm assuming that your second job with him went....well?"

My eyes cast downward.

"Actually..."

He looks to me and raises an eyebrow.

"What?"

My hands go to roll up my pants, revealing a white bandage.

"He..uh..he burnt me."

I don't know why I tell him this, I guess I just needed to tell somebody or I would go crazy.

My eyes look up to see Gray's eyes widened, before turning into a glare.

"That idiot burnt you. He better be planning a huge apology. Plus, I'm going to knock some sense into him."

I quickly grab onto his arm to stop him.

"He doesn't know, and I don't want him to know. He'd feel so guilty."

Gray's glare loosens.

"Well, geez Lucy. He's always been reckless, you know. With everyone but, well, reckless with everybody when it comes to fighting."

"I know. That's why I don't want him to know. It's not his fault."

"It's not your fault."

I sigh and roll my pants down.

He doesn't understand, nobody could understand.

"Trust me, it is."
