I dedicate this chapter to Life-is-a-Fairy-Tail because she's just an amazing human being. Love ya girl! <3

Natsu❀

I was infuriated. Someone was hurting Lucy, and she wouldn't tell me who.

"Lucy, you aren't okay, we know it. So why hide it?" Erza asked walking up to Lucy.

"I'm not hiding it, I'm okay. I promise," Lucy smiled, picking up the mess.

"Lucy," Levy started. "I'll beat her, I'll beat her to a damn pulp!"

"Don't Levy," Lucy touched her shoulder, "Beating Angel to a pulp won't make me feel better."

"Angel? An Angel beat Lucy up? What the hell?" Gray yelled.

"God, you're stupid!" Juvia smacked him, applying hand sanitizer the minute her hand left Gray's cheek.

"A girl named Angel. She was going for Erza, but Lucy jumped in the way! You baka!" Levy added.

"Finally, the truth comes out," Jellal praised.

"Shit," Lucy muttered from opening her locker.

"What wrong Lucy?" Juvia asked, looking over her shoulder.

"My earmuffs, their gone!" Lucy yelped, and then laughed nervously.

"We need to find those earmuffs!" Lucy picked up things from her locker, throwing them to the ground.

Juvia ran over, and grabbed Lucy by the shoulder. "Lucy, what are you doing!?" She asked, as she watched Lucy throw more of her things on the floor.

"Please, we need to find those earmuffs," She turned to the rest of us tears in her eyes.

"Let's help Lucy," Jellal sighed, shoving his fists in his pocket.

"Juvia, Levy, go check the restroom." They nodded, running to the girl restrooms.

"Gajeel, Gray, the café." Jellal instructed. Gajeel and Gray rolled their eyes, but complied seeing this was important.

"Erza, Lucy, keep checking your locker. Natsu and I will go check the classrooms.

I sighed, making a mental note to check in with my teachers after school.

~5 MINUTES LATER~

"Why do you think she needs those earmuffs so badly?" Jellal looked to me questioningly.

"It's Lucy. She probably needs them for Lucy things." I laughed as Jellal explained his answer.

"You're probably right," He chuckled.

"I am right, there's no 'probably' about it," I nodded my head.

"Where do you think they could be?" I asked Jellal

"Let's investigate that Angel girl, I'm sure she has something to do with missing earmuffs,"

~15 MINUTES LATER~

We stood in front of the counseling office.

"Okay, for right now, you're going undercover as Angel's boyfriend." Jellal started.

"Hell no!" I whisper shouted, "Being with someone that hurts Lucy is out of the question!"

Jellal snickered, "You like her don't you?"

"As a friend," I looked away, hiding a noticeable blush. 

Jellal held his stomach, bending down in laughter.

"Just go ask Mrs. Olson what class she has,"

"Man, I don't know," I ran a hand through my hair.

"Natsu, do it for Lucy."

So I did, I walked in there.

"What can I do for you?"
