Tracy's Return [Private/Leonard]

Clattering and cheering... Sounds normal to the hall that kept it alive and well. Though they've been throwing stuff around today for reasons he do not know because Leonard just got down from his room to get a drink from the bar. He didn't bother to look at how the guild looks like because it would always be that same happy scene. Some simply chatting, others drinking to their hearts content while others having little fights. The fights were nothing to worry about since he always told them not to use magic, and because they will always be guys to stop them. "Leo, you don't look alright." said the bartender. "Don't worry Mack, I'm alright. I know what's going on behind me and I like it. It's happy. It's Fairy Tail." he said to Mack the bartender with his eyes closed and sipping his drink. It may not look like it but deep inside Leonard was really happy. Mack on the other hand looked behind Leonard with awe and smiled afterwards "Hehe... that may not be entirely true to each and everyday Leo. Some days could be better than other." Mack said while wiping a glass with a piece of white clean cloth. Now Leonard knew that something uncommon happened, and it was all true when he heard a voice he hadn't heard for a long time. "Leonard!!! Hey, how have you been? I heard you've become the guildmaster. Is that true??" at that moment, Leonard opened his eyes and squirted his drink from out of his mouth. It was Tracy and she took a seat next to him. Leonard was stunned, he looked at her with awe as she was much more beautiful than last they met. The girl really grew to a fine young beautiful woman. She said they have been truly been missed and Leonard was just looking and then she drank all of her water and looked to him waiting his answer. Leonard shook his head to awake from this thought that swirled around him. Thoughts of astonishment, of happiness, and of excitement. "Tracy? Tracy is that really you?! You've grown more beautiful. Um... yeah I've been the master since you were away by unanimous decision. But don't let it change the way you see me. I missed you too! How have you been? I know you're looking for Daichi but he ain't here and I haven't seen him for a long time. But they've been a lot of new brothers and sisters coming around lately. he said first with awe and astonishment as he looked upon her and then with normality.

Leonard was happy to see Tracy's expression. He knew she was glad to have a best friend like him. Tracy also took notice of the messy hall. Drunkards and arguments, normal chatting and all that. They were all just having fun. Though something unexpected happened. She pulled him down from the bar with her arms around him. He knew it might be a hard fall but it kind of felt good for him. He got back from reality when he hit the ground. And was asked if they could go somewhere they could talk properly. Now that would mean some place private. "Oh ok, well then let's go to my private quarters. It's just my office up on the third floor." he said as he stood up. Now he headed for the third floor which was where he place was. As he got there he thought that Tracy might have some interesting stories to tell from her adventures and he wanted him to hear them all carefully. As he entered his cozy, quiet little space in the hall he offered Tracy to sit in the couch on the right while he went to get a glass of water for her on the mini-bar on the other side of the room. He gave it to her and sat beside her "Now, what stories would you like to tell me?" he asked.

Leonard for the beginning was excited what Tracy had to say. He looked at her in the eyes in anticipation for he really missed her. At first, Tracy was finding the words to say. It looked like she didn't know what and how to tell Leonard anything. In the end, Tracy gave him a straight "Nothing". It made him wonder because what was she doing all those times she was away. Then she looked up to him in the face looking sad and unsure. She said she hasn't done anything for the guild and looked down, depressed for sure. Leonard moved a little closer to her and wrapped his arm around her, comforting her. "Hey hey it's alright,Tracy. No need to worry about that. But can you please tell me the truth as to what happened to you?" he told her softly and with the tone of concern and comfort.

Leonard saw Tracy's tear fall which made him worry, then she hugged him which stunned him plus a slight blush. okay... he wanted to think about what was happening but couldn't really make out what it was. Tracy stopped crying and thought about what she should say. "Nothing changed either. I'm just me. Unless you mean physical changes," she said which made Leonard look at her from foot to head. She did become gorgeous indeed "Well... um...well... you look more beautiful than last we met." he said slightly blushing trying to be careful with what comes out of his mouth. "So you mean you did nothing?" he added.

Leonard slightly blushed as well when he saw Tracy's cute red face. Though Leonard's eyes showed worry for how Tracy has been all this time. He didn't understand her reply that she was preparing for something. It really made him wonder because there had been no major trouble that the guild hasn't overcome. "Can you tell me what you are preparing for?" he asked.

This was going to be the stupidest reply she had ever given, but she had to. "I'm not sure. To be honest, I have no idea," was the stupid reply. Tracy hoped Leonard would stop asking her questions and just have a normal conversation about the guild's condition or the new members that recently joined. That would be a really better conversation.

Confusing as the reply may be. Leonard felt that the topic of their conversation is making her feel uncomfortable. And after a slight pause Leonard said "Oh right. Uh, yeah. So anyway, I'm glad you're back Tracy. That's all that matters to me." after that, Leonard hugged Tracy so tight. Leonard truly missed the fellow requip mage. Inside of Leonard, he thought he would never see her again. But he was glad he did. He hugged her for a few seconds and realized how awkward and uncomfortable this might be for Tracy so he opened his eyes and let go of her. "Right.. ahem... uh... I'm sure you'd want to meet the new members, right?" he said slightly stuttering and embarrassed as he looked away while his face slightly turned red.

Leonard said that all that mattered to him was that she was back. Tracy blinked before blushing again. Then he hugged her tightly. Tracy hugged back too, her face turning into a deep shade of red. Then he said, "Right.. ahem... uh... I'm sure you'd want to meet the new members, right?" Tracy shook her head. "Not really. I'm tired. Can you just tell me about it?" Tracy said. She was getting comfy on this couch, she could fall asleep on it. But she suppressed the urge to do so. Instead, she listened to Leonard attentively.

Leonard stared in Tracy's red face. He was thinking what was going on inside her head as to why she looks like that. It might be because Tracy has a fever. Tracy's tired look adds up to this conclusion. Leonard grabbed a chair and some files from his desk. He sat down on the chair which he placed in front of the couch. "Hey it's ok if you lie down on the couch. You look like you have a fever, with your face being red and all." he said with a friendly manner. As he looked through the files which were records of the guilds members. He looked at them deciding which one to show Tracy first.
