So umm... i kinda have this and Lucy the Fairy Princess to work on at the same time so please don't hurt me _ - Nix
No-One's P.O.V
"What do you want, Sting?" Lucy sighed and gritted her teeth, she was in the middle of reading when Sting summoned her and she was NOT happy, actually recently she hadn't been happy with anything. All her celestial gate keys had been given to Yukino, because now that she could be summoned she technically couldn't summon others, making their contracts useless, and it had been 1 month since she was so close to beating up FairyTail. So close, Stupid Acnologia...Stupid Sting...Stupid... "ucy...Lucy! Hey are you listening blondie?" Sting was waving his arm in front of her face.
"Yea what?" she snapped and he smirked.
"Now now Lucy, is that any way to treat your master? You wouldn't want me to get Acnologia over here would you?" The female mage grumbled. Acnologia said that if they didn't obey their masters their punishment would be much worse, what could be worse than obeying this cocky idiot? And why did Sting summon Lucy anyway?
"Okay so you're probably wondering why I summoned you, and I have someone I'd like you to meet." He gestured towards the lounge door and she opened it slightly, before pushing it open and tackling the person there.
"Levy-Chan I missed you so much!" She yelled as she hugged the other girl, Levy just laughed.
"I missed you too, Lu-Chan, It sucks not being able to see each other." They hugged each other like the other was about to disappear and Sting and Rogue watched in amusement at the girls, they barley got to see each other because the Spirit King had 'accidentally' put them far apart in the spirit world, so finding each other was almost impossible. Was it because they were not really spirits or was there a personal reason? They both think the first one.
"I'll kill that old man for separating us Levy-Chan!" Lucy cried and she and Levy glowed with hated him.
"Hey ladies sorry to break up the party but we didn't just summon you so you could chat." Sting stated and the girls broke apart. "You see we need you for a job request, It's something about finding a treasure and defeating the monster who guards it, so we need you two to translate the map so we can find the treasure and kill the monster, Got it?"
Lucy folded her arms over her chest. "What's in it for us?" Sting looked at Rogue and they nodded at each other.
"What if we say you can live in the human world and see each other every day, but you'll have to return to the spirit world once a month but you could stay at me and Rogue's place..." Sting stated and the girls eyes widened in shock, they were still technically human so they could survive in the human world for as long as they needed to, but they had to go back at least once a month to keep the contract going.
Before the boys had a chance to react they had been tackled into hugs by the girls. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" The girls screamed and hugged their masters before hugging each other and talking wildly. "I'll take that as a yes." Sting said and he laughed, Rogue laughed quietly at the sight of the excited girls and you could tell by the way they looked that they really were in love.
Lucy's P.O.V
"So where is this map anyway?" I asked, so full of energy that I was practically drowning in it. Sting fumbled around in his pocket and handed it to me and levy and we skimmed our eyes over it before coming to the same conclusion "It's written in ancient Gleroliphian, Levy, To the Library!" I shouted and we ran off, almost tearing to door off of it's hinges. We ran down the street and our hair flowed in the wind, t had gotten slightly longer and we still wore our cloaks sometimes but we were still practically the same. "Race you to the library Lu-Chan!" Levy yelled over her shoulder and I grinned. "You're on!" We ran down the road, dodging pedestrians and animals, We hadn't felt this free in years. The library was in sight but Levy zoomed past me, where does she get her energy? I sighed as we slowed to a stop outside the library, kicking up some dust and I laughed. "I'll beat you one day Levy, just you watch!" I yelled and we giggled before entering the Library and going to the history section. "Gernin, Glarphic,... Found it! Gleroliphian!" I yelled the last part, which made me receive many shushes from the people nearby. I blushed and apologized before finding all the books on the language. Me and Levy claimed a table to work at and the books were stacked high in the air, we pulled out our wind reader glasses and scanned the books, trying to find a way to translate it. Not a word was spoken between the two of us as we concentrated on our work, we really wanted to stay in this world, after all, we had 'unfinished business' with a certain guild to take care of.
I shook my head to clear my thoughts and focused on the book and after a couple of hours the stack had decreased. "Found anything Levy?" I asked, we both had looks of confusion on our faces as the books seemed to make no sense whatsoever. "Nothing here Lu-Chan, but we have to keep going!" Levy replied and I nodded before turning my attention back to the books, we still had a few hours before closing time and we could take the remaining books out. The language liked to talk in riddles it seemed, and many phrases could mean the same thing, there was no clear alphabet and this made it all the more confusing. An announcement came out over the speakers.
"Closing time is in half an hour, please take out any books in the next 10 minuets!" I poked Levy and we grabbed any books we hadn't read on the subject and overall we had 50 of them, split them between us and that's 25 each. We took them out and walked back to Sting and Rogue's place, it seemed they were at the guild so I grabbed some cushions from the couch and we sat on the floor. Levy grabbed some coffee and we sat down.
"Remember we have to do whatever it takes, right Levy Chan?" I asked and she nodded firmly and we lay on the floor, surrounded by stacks of books, on our left were the ones we hadn't read, 25 each, and as the hours went by it decreased, down to 20 in the first hour, 14 in the next, and 5 after the third. I had finishd reading my 20th book and saw that Levy had fallen asleep, I moved her book and slotted in her leather bookmark before draping a blanket of some sorts over her. I continued reading until I had 3 left unread and I was halfway through my 4th before the coffee ran out and I fell asleep on the spot, pushing the book out in front of me and sleeping on the floor.
No-One's P.O.V
It was half an hour later that the boys returned with heir exceeds to find Lucy and Levy lying on their living room floor, pillows, coffee cups and books dotted around the floor, and in the middle of it was the girls themselves, It was clear they had carried on reading for a while, and by the looks of it Levy fell asleep first because she was covered with a blanket and her book was neatly to the side, whilst Lucy had a book open in front of her and was almost lying on it, her red wind reader glasses inches away from her face. The boys laughed, they had run into some trouble at the guild and had to take a last minuet visit to talk with some people about something or the other (A/N: Me being creative.) and by the time they got home it was about 3am. Lecter curled up nect to Lucy and Frosch curled up next to Levy and the boys had to admit that it was the cutest thing they had ever seen. Lucy and Levy, curled up with exceeds with books dotting the floor in stacks, so they took a photo of it. Sting smirked and chuckled "Looks like they really want to like on EarthLand, huh?" He asked Rogue and he chuckled. Sting walked over to the blonde and crouched down to brush some of her golden hair out of her face. She rolled over and grabbed his arm and wrapped one of her arms around it, before murmuring something that only the white dragon slayer could here. "...Sting..." . He smirked, so she was dreaming about him? He was so going to use this later on. He laughed and picked her up and a pen rolled out from her other hand, as he listed her up further he found a notebook with the map's writing written on it, a rough scribbled translation and many scrunched up paper balls around it, he smirked and carried her off towards his room.
Meanwhile Rogue had walked over to Levy and crouched down, moving the blanket and her hair away from her face, she looked so peaceful and he smiled warmly at her, she was the only one who could make him smile without saying anything. he brushed her blue hair from her face and her hands moved to grab the one on her face and he blushed a deep shade of red, he picked her up and carried her to his room, both the boys laid the girls down gently on their bed and they lay next to them, the boys hugging the girls to their chests.
-Time Skip- Morning
The boys awoke to find the girls had gone and this sent them into a state of panic, they rushed out their rooms and walked into each other "Have you seen Levy/Lucy anywhere?" they both asked at the same time, and then blushed slightly. "Who knows, Rogue. I woke up and she wasn't in my room."
"Neither was Levy, I hope they're ok." They walked into the living room and were surprised, the girls were back in their position from the night before and were sitting with their wind reader glasses from where they left off, this was when the boys realised they probably hadn't eaten lunch or dinner yesterday, or breakfast today and this made them worry, A LOT. The girls had dark circles under their eyes and there were more coffee cups around them. Sting walked up to them and started talking. "You know you girls should really take a b-" "SHHH!" he was shushed loudly by the girls and they turned their attention back to the books, it wasn't long before they closed the last books and Lucy started talking to Levy. "Can we go back to the library, we need to exchange notes and take out those other books and take these back." Levy nodded and they stacked up the books before running out again.
Sting's P.O.V
I looked at Rogue and started talking. "Is it just me or do you feel really guilty, they haven't eaten since yesterday and haven't taken a break in god knows how long because of this stupid map." Rogue just nodded, he was more open around levy anyways so what did I expect. The exceeds were still curled up in our rooms, most likely tired from yesterday and this morning, I sighed and made up my mind. "Right when Lucy gets back I'm going to force her to eat something, and you should do the same with Levy Rogue, they might not like it but we can't let them starve over a map!" I stated and he nodded. I rummaged around in the freezer and found some of Lucy and Levy's favorite chocolate cake and put it on the side to defrost, it wasn't long before the girls came back with books towering above them, even more than last time. Old scrolls, books and manuscripts dotted the floor and the girls were about to sit down again when I grabbed Lucy and pulled her to the side. "Hey let me go Stingy bee!" She yelled and I smirked and hugged her.
"Nope." she sighed and looked at me.
"What do I have to do to make you let me go so I can go and read to finish this mission so I can stay in EarthLand?" she asked and I smiled and pointed to the cake, she shook her head "I don't have time Sting, I have to get this done as quick as possible now let me go!" she yelled the last part and I flinched and let her go, stupid dragon senses. Looks like the same thing happened with Rogue because both the girls were back to reading with determined and tired looks on their faces. We sat down and watched the Television Lacrima and sighed, we were going to be waiting a while.
Levy's P.O.V
Gleroliphian was like no language or script neither I or Lucy had seen before, It was confusing and the more we read the more we began to slightly understand it. Lucy and I had drafts on what the map said, but none of them really made sense. It was also quite a riddle like language and once we got a lead it meant finding or referencing something somewhere else and we were getting nowhere. We both wanted to stay on EarthLand so much, we had revenge to deal with and we wanted to be round each other and Sting and Rogue more. After a while we stopped reading our books and compared our notes and then an Idea struck me. "Lu-Chan I need your notes real quick!" she nodded and handed them over and I compared hers with mine, they were both slightly different in the translation part and had different words in different sections. I combined the two and boom. "Lu-Chan WE DI IT!" I yelled and we high fived, we had the directions from the map and that was our task. We jumped up, high fived, hugged and then collapsed, and the boys watched all this with smirks on their faces, Rogue was practically making fun of me but I didn't care and I just fell asleep, our hair was spilling out on the floor and we wore massive smiles on our heads as we drifted off into sleep.
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! 030 - Nix
