~Lucy's P. O. V. ~
"Morning to you too Natsu." I giggled as he swat at me for waking him up early.
Yesterday once the crying was over we all calmed down and I felt a lot better about leaving Magnolia. Gray decided to bring Juvia to our house to sleep and I crashed with Natsu. Today, us girls were gonna sleep at Erza's house, and the boys would stay at Natsu's. Tomorrow, there wasn't any lessons because of the Winter Dance at night, so the guys would game at Natsu's in the day and we were gonna have a girl's day out.
This time, we weren't late for school since Natsu didn't ask for second servings. We drove faster than usual and reached the gate twenty minutes before first period.
"Ohayou, Lu-chan!" Levy's voice rang out sweet and clear in the hustle and bustle of the hallway. "Ohayou, Levy-chan!" I answered cheerfully, skipping towards them with Natsu tagging along behind me. "You're finally early, little sis." Gray smiled and patted my head. Then his face darkened. "Shit I thought I grounded you!" He groaned. We laughed. "Told ya. We didn't even need Erza." Levy whispered. "Ain't that right." I whispered back.
"You're staying with us tonight aren't you, Lucy?" Erza asked. I nodded. "Mira is gonna make us talk about love. Lucky me, here's mah boyfriend." Cana waved a booze bottle before permanently attaching her mouth to it. "We're gonna have hot tub~" Mira cheered. "Ju-Juvia will be embarrassed." Juvia twiddled her fingers. I laughed.
"What are you guys gonna do?" I asked Natsu. "Meh. Gaming, playing basketball, crashing arcades I guess." He shrugged. Jesus. Boys will be boys.
At the back of my mind, the fact that I was leaving this Sunday kept nagging at me. I brushed it off. I was gonna enjoy every minute with my friends now.
The bell rang.
-timeskip, boys are in who knows where, girls somehow ended up in a pub since Cana wanted the best booze-
~Levy's P. O. V. ~ (currently 8pm)
I shifted. The lights and the music were making me uncomfortable. After school we had hung out at Erza's house for a while, until Cana dared us during truth or dare to go to the pub with her. So the hot tub was cancelled, and after dinner, we went to the pub.
Somehow I get bad vibes from this place. The smell of alcoholic drinks was everywhere and people were dancing. The obviously intoxicated ones were pressing their bodies against an opposite sex they probably didn't even know and dancing like pros. I sighed for like the tenth time here. Juvia just sat beside me and stared at her cocktail absentmindedly.
Cana already hooked up with some strangers and were having a drinking contest. Erza and Mira were surprisingly enjoying the cocktails, even the one with alcohol; while poor Lucy was dared to drink booze with Cana. So she was in the drinking contest, and failing miserably. I scanned the dance floor. Boys were trying to get in good with Erza and Mira, but the two could hold their liquor so well so they were sober enough to reject them.
Wait.
Holding liquor?
Oh shit, Lucy.
Oh nooo.
This guy with black hair and red eyes walked toward Cana and Lucy just as the thought came into my mind. He looked at Cana's mad laughing for a moment, looked away, and made his way to Lucy. Lucy looked incredibly vulnerable, her cheeks flushed and the dizzy look in her eyes. I had to do something quick, so I nudged Juvia and pointed toward Lucy. Her eyes widened and she got my drift. Immediately, we whipped out our phones and texted Natsu and Gray to drop by. Fast.
They both texted back the moment the message was sent:
Stall for me. If the guy tries anything, beat him off for as long as you can.
I looked back at the dance floor. By now Lucy was already dancing sexily with the black haired guy. Damn. I never knew Lucy could dance like that. The black haired guy kept making eyes at her. Ughhhhh.
Ten minutes later, Natsu and Gray still havent arrived. Song after song they danced, by now, the guy was putting hands on Lucy, trailing his hands down her neck, now to her waist.
Shit come on....Natsu, Gray...
Juvia was frantically texting Gray. Erza and Mira were laughing with the bartender while Cana had no clue what was going on since she was pretty much high with her new found friends that she had only met for an hour and would probably know nothing about them once the hangover clears.
Just then, the guy's hands slid down even more, and he squeezed Lucy's ass. She just smiled dizzily and kept dancing. The guy smirked.
OH NO YOU DONT.
Juvia's fingers were messed up by now.
I peeked over her shoulder.
To: Gray-sama
Come quick Gray-sama! Juvia saw the guy squeeze Lucy-san's ass!
We waited for a reply.
To: Juvia♡
WHAAAAT? Okay Flame Brain is already busting the car engine driving we are gonna be there and beat the guy up. If he tries to steal her lips get him away from her.
Gahhhh.
Looks like they were right. The guy was dancing closer and closer to Lucy, pressing his body against Lucy's, and now he grabbed her chin.
Their lips got closer. I dashed to Erza and Mira and shook them and pointed at Lucy. Their eyes widened.
Their lips were just an inch away now.
Erza ran up to them.
A centimetre away...
Erza's not gonna make it. I opened my mouth to shout stop....
Their lips were gonna touch.

A blur of pink and raven with fists shot out, interrupting Erza's impending rage. Before I even realized that it wasn't a random gang fight but was a boyfriend saving his girlfriend and a brother saving his sister, the red eyed guy flew back and slammed into the wall, knocking over some people like bowling pins.
Thankfully the people he knocked over weren't hooked up, sober, sane, nor in possession of an over protective brother.
The two grabbed Lucy and dragged her to the bathroom. I winced. Poor, poor Lucy.
Juvia heaved a sigh of relief from where she sat. Erza blinked once, twice, then set out after them, but was stopped by Jellal. Mira sneaked out to see the Natsu-Lucy-Gray drama and possibly tape it down. Gajeel got two cocktails the moment he arrived and passed one to me.
"No alcohol, shrimp. Gihee."
~Lucy's P. O. V. ~
The world was like a blur. I didn't even know what was happening I just danced. I felt intoxicated, high spirited, floating, even. But then two jackasses popped out of nowhere and dragged me out of ecstasy.
At the ladies, I suddenly felt the urge to throw up. Go booze. I was getting dizzier than ever and all I really wanted was water before I gave up and just passed out.
So when the guys finally let go of me, I stumbled past them into a cubicle and barfed in the royal white bowl where countless of people have defecated in. The pink haired guy walked over and held my hair up after a short convo with the raven one. Ooooh like my dance partner~
The raven one headed back into the pub.
Once I was done, the pink haired hustled me to wash up, then forced a whole bottle of water down my throat and splashed cold water on my face. He shoved me into a shower cubicle and gave me a cold shower with my clothes still on. By then I had sobered up a little, but was still dizzy. Scratch that. Sleepy.
I recognized the pink haired guy now. "Natsu?" I croaked. Geez my voice. He stopped shoving me in the cold shower. Then he dragged me out, took out my soaking wet shirt, and threw his shirt over my head. He wrung the water out of my shirt and flipped it over his back. "We're going to Erza's now. We need to talk." He said shortly before walking out, holding my hand. As he went over to a scarlet-headed girl, two raven heads caught my eye. One with midnight eyes, the other with red. I recognized one of them.
"Gray-nii?" I whispered again. Natsu noticed and with a jingle of keys, he led me out of the pub. Then a voice rang out:
"SEE YOU SOME TIME, BLONDIE! YOUR ASS FEELS GOOD." I heard what he said, but before I could react, Natsu had already disappeared and reappeared in front of him, punching him hard in the jaw. I flinched a little. His veins were visible and he was practically steaming.
"Say that once more and I'll make sure you never talk again." He hissed, before coming back and escorting me to his car.
I knew nothing after that.
~Natsu's P. O. V. ~
Once we got into my car, I tucked Erza's keys in my pocket and drove Lucy to Erza's house. I'm legitimately pissed at what I saw. If Lucy wasn't vulnerable that moment and I didn't need to watch over her, I would have killed the guy.
I glanced beside me. Lucy was asleep now. I sighed. Jesus. Why did they even go to a pub? I'll get my answer when she wakes up.
I was debating if I should let Lucy slap the guy but it would ruin my plot, so....
Btw, my exams are coming up and I have to work my ass off so I'm sorry if my updates get inconsistent. Gomene...😭
But thank you for reading 😄😄😄😄
