Far From Comfort

13. The Phone Call

~No one's PoV~

The five mages stood on the platform waiting for their train to arrive.

"You know I'm sure it's not that far walking..." Natsu tried convincing Lucy, trying to get out of a three hour train ride.

"Shut it flame brain. You're the one that chose to go on this job in the first place." Commented an annoyed ice wizard.

"Ya wanna go ice freak?!"

Just on cue the train pulled up to the platform and Natsu started getting sick just looking at it.

Gray chuckled at the sight and started making his way to the train along with Erza.

"Gray, clothes."

He looked down and frowned. "When did that happen?!"

Juvia quietly giggled from behind the two, as they boarded the train with Lucy Happy and Natsu behind them.

They all sat together in a booth, with Juvia and Lucy on one side and Erza Gray and an unconscious Natsu on the other.

Happy sat on Lucy's lap, trying to stay away from Natsu's vomiting zone.

~Juvia's PoV~

I looked over to Happy and chuckled.

"I guess Natsu still isn't over his motion sickness?" I asked the blonde next to me.

She sighed and looked at the unconscious mage in front of her. "Nope..."

The four of us made small talk for an hour, they asked me about the guild and Magnolia and they told me about their mission and adventures.

After an hour had passed, Happy had fallen asleep, along with Lucy and Erza, leaving only me and Gray awake.

I gazed out the window, trying not to make eye contact. I knew I had to talk to him at some point. Just that moment was not now.

"So..." He started. "The weather's been nice recently..."

I mentally face palmed at his pathetic attempt at making small talk. "Yeah, sure has been..."

After a few seconds of silence Gray started talking again. "Alright, so what are we going to do about the... thing?"

My gaze left the window and I looked at him. "Lucy, Erza, Levy, Meredy, Mira, Cana, Carla, Wendy, Evergreen and Yukino already know."

"So much for not telling anyone... geez."

"It was an accident alright!" I defended. "Besides they won't tell anyone. I'm more worried about Natsu, Gajeel or Lyon finding out..."

I was mostly worried about those three, since if Gajeel found out he would just judge my bad life decisions and Lyon would most likely break up with me.

Of course Natsu can't keep his mouth shut so if he finds out I'm pretty much done.

"So what are we going to do about it?" He asked once again.

I was about to respond but Happy started stirring back into conscience, along with Lucy. "We'll talk about it later okay?" I whispered to him.

He nodded and looked out the window for the rest of the journey.

The travel wasn't as bad as I initially thought. I slept for about 30 minutes and talked to Lucy until we arrived.
