"" Seems Erza and Gray are here. "Lu y recognized the voices as they called for her.
" Hey, Lucy-"Erza froze as she opened the door to her room, seeing Natsu and Lucy and some stranger.
" Oh, a... Hey, Erza. "Natsu laughed nervously.
" Wow... Erza, just don't kill him. "Gray stated as he walked in.
" Natsu! How could you have us worry like that!? "she yelled at him, grabbing his ear and lifting him to his feet." You disappear for almost two weeks, and you didn't even call?! Or better yet, come back!? "
Erza dragged him out of the room, going to beat him elsewhere.
" I'm afraid Natsu won't be able to do anything for awhile now. "Gray sighed, then looked up. Noticing the stranger staring at the door.
" Gray, this is Natsu's brother. Zeref. "Lucy introduced, knowing what he was thinking.
" Natsu has a brother? "Gray questioned.
" Yes, I'm his brother... "Zeref sighed." We don't exactly get the best along with each other, so I'm not surprised he hasn't spoke of me. "
" Gray, what brought you and Erza here anyway? "Lucy asked.
" You weren't answering your phone, we were a worried something might've happened you. And I guess something did. "Gray sighed.
" Why were you trying to call? "she asked.
" To see if you were doing alright. Today was your first day without any of us staying the night with you. "
" well, that's debatable. Natsu and Zeref barged in here in the middle of the night. "
" What an idiot. "
Lucy giggled lightly. Zeref looked over at her, noticing she had said nothing about him pointing a gun at her and frightening her so much she fainted.
" GAH!!! "Natsu shrieked running into the room, Erza chasing him. He dove behind Lucy, gripping onto her for protection.
" Natsu. "Lucy looked to him.
" protect me Lucy. "he whined, she raised her hand to his fluffy hair.
he leaned forward, sniffing her neck he missed her sweet intoxication scent.
" Lucy, look at the time. "Gray ruined their 'little moment'. Lucy turned her head to the clock on her nightstand.
" Your appointment starts in less than an hour."Erza informed.
" Gah! "she squeaked.
" you boys leave, I'm gonna stay and help Lucy change. "Erza stated, the 'men' left, Gray walked over to her wheelchair and rolled it closer to the bedroom door.

Zeref plopped on the couch, tired obviously. Natsu pet Happy, and Plu.
" Natsu, where did you go anyway? We were all worried sick. "Gray stated.
" No where, really. "Natsu answered bluntly.
" And what about your arm? "Gray questioned.
" It's not a big deal, I just crashed my car. "
" As long as you're alive and have come back safely. "
" Gray, did anything happen to Lucy after she woke up? She seems different, and not scared of me as she used to. "
Gray turned back to Natsu, seeing Natsu was finally looking in his direction." well, she explained to us that she heard your voice, she didn't say what you had said, but she wanted to see you. "Gray explained." And after getting out of the hospital... she began becoming more emotional, so she's frightened easily and cries easier as well. "
Natsu looked back to Happy and Plu, beginning to pet them again.
" Gray, Lucy's ready. Let's get going so she doesn't miss her appointment. "Erza said, tossing her keys up and catching them." Natsu, you and the emo are joining us. I don't want you to run off and disappear again. "
