Look, a random authors note has appeared. KILL IT WITH FIRE! Please don't (. - .). Anyways, to put everything simply, Rolu is my otp, and I came up with this story while complaining about a few things. Also, not going to lie, I find my writing style shitty at times and awkward overall. I honestly hope this chapter goes well…awkward authors note? Yes, very. Anyways, ignore my bullshit and enjoy the story…hopefully.
Sadly, I don't own Fairy Tail, all I own is my Oc's such as Cassandra (my own creation).
Meetings
When one is taking a nap (could it even be considered a nap if you slept for twelve hours at least?), the last thing they would expect was a rude awakening…such as…I don't know, let's use excessive shaking as an example. Guaranteed headaches and a possible concussion if your head was smack against the headboard multiple times, in one Rogue Cheney's situation, this just oh so sadly happened to be the case. His eyes snapped open as he found a pair of narrowed green eyes glaring down at him as the person continued to violently shake him. Now, when one wakes up in the most confusing situation, they typically would have no idea what the actual fuck was going on at that moment, and at that moment, that was the exact situation Rogue found himself in as he tried to gather his foggy thoughts. The black haired teen almost immediately snapped out of his confused daze as his head collided with the headboard.
"What the hell was that for," Rogue growled as he broke free of the persons vice-like grip as he clutched his now aching head.
"Oh good you're awake, get up you're going to be late, again," the woman stated calmly as her glare was replaced by her usual kind look and small smile.
This woman was none other than Cassandra Cheney, with her wavy black hair and gorgeous emerald green eyes, no one could deny the woman's true beauty, the green eyed beauty was not only beautiful but kind-hearted as well, but anyone who knew her well knew she could become an outright demon when needed. Rogue, who seemed absolutely pissed that he may or may not have just received his eight possible concussion this month from his own mother stood to his feet as he began mumbling under his breath as he stormed into the bathroom slamming the door shut behind. After going through his daily morning routine, Rogue returned to his bedroom and once again slammed the door behind him as he grabbed his school uniform and quickly got dressed. Fiore High was a well known school when it came to both academics and athletics, sure a majority of its students could pass for escaped mental hospital patients, but they excelled and topped many other schools in Japan. The schools uniform consisted of a simple short sleeved button up white shirt and a pair of simple black pants, over the shirt was a black long sleeved unbuttoned blazer out lined in white while the schools golden crest was on the left side of his the chest, while the boys only had a few options when it came to their uniforms (not that Rogue was complaining), the girls practically had hundreds of options at their disposal. Rogue let out a huff of frustration as he grabbed a bunch of papers off his desk as he simply slipped them into his backpack as he also grabbed a book as well as his phone and left his room, closing the door behind him as he did so before heading down the stairs and into the kitchen. His red eyes shifted to the counter where he found a bento waiting for him as he simply grabbed it and placing it into his bag as he left the kitchen and headed towards the front door as he simply put on his black sneakers as he opened the front door.
"Mom I'm leaving now," he deadpanned, having no doubts the woman would easily hear him.
"Have fun sweetheart! And please don't do anything stupid," Cassandra yelled from wherever she was in the house.
Rogue locked the front door behind him as he opened his book, flipping to the page he had previously stopped as he began reading as he walked down the sidewalk. Not even five minutes into walking, a familiar voice behind Rogue began calling out his name but the black haired teen simply ignored the voice as he kept his nose buried in his book as he continued to walk. The female figure was obviously a member of Fiore High and wearing a variation of one out of many female uniforms the school had to offer, her uniform consisted of a short pleated plaid red skirt and a short sleeved button up white t-shirt with a plaid red tie matching her skirt, over the shirt was a long sleeved unbuttoned black blazer outlined in white with the schools golden emblem on the left side where her heart would be, a pair of knee high white socks were present as well as a simple pair of black Mary Janes.
"Good morning Rogue," Yukino panted as she tried to catch her breath after running in an attempt to catch up with Rogue.
The only answered the silver haired girl received from Rogue was a simple grunt signaling he acknowledged her presence.
"D-Didn't you hear m-me calling you b-back there?" Yukino asked in-between pants as she continued to struggle with catching her breath.
"I heard you," Rogue deadpanned as he continued to walk without turning to face her.
"Then why didn't you turn around?" Yukino questioned as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"I didn't care," he responded coldly as he began to walk a bit faster.
"You're an ass," Yukino muttered under her breath as she easily kept up with him.
After about two more minutes of walking in silence, the two stopped in front of a house as Rogue finally paused from reading as he realized one thing.
"What the hell is all of this?" Rogue questioned as he and Yukino looked at the multiple packed boxes placed all about the front lawn, not only were there the boxes but there was also a moving truck in front of the house.
"Sting isn't moving away…..is he?" Yukino whispered to herself as she stared at the boxes, her hazel eyes widened as she processed the information.
"I'm pretty sure Sting doesn't own pink stuffed toys or fuzzy pink pillows," Rogue deadpanned as he peered into one of the boxes curiously.
"Now that you mention it….all of these things belong to a girl," Yukino murmured as she peered into a box marked fragile to find what looked like a beautiful dark blue music box with golden dots painted on it possibly representing stars in a night sky.
Yukino and Rogue stopped "snooping" around in the boxes as they decided to do the smart thing and walked over to the front door but before either could knock, the door opened revealing the familiar blonde haired blue eyed idiot.
"Oh hey guys, what the hell are you doing here?" Sting questioned as he raised an eyebrow at the duo.
"Waiting for you idiot, how comes you aren't in your uniform yet?" Yukino asked as she raised an eyebrow at Sting.
"Because I'm not going to school today," Sting explained bluntly as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"If you weren't going to go, you could've told us in advance so I wouldn't have to waste my time stopping here," Rogue deadpanned as he kept his nose buried in his book.
"Prick," Sting muttered under his breath childishly as he crossed his arms.
"By the way Sting, what's with all the boxes filled with girl stuff," Yukino asked as she looked up at him.
"Oh those, those belong to my sister," Sting stated plainly as he looked at one of the many boxes outside.
An awkward silence fell over the three friends and Yukino and Rogue's minds tried to process the new information but all their minds were drawing was a complete blank.
"Sister?!" The duo asked in complete shock as they stared at Sting.
"Yeah…haven't I told you guys about her before?" Sting questioned as he tried to remember if his sister had ever come up in a past conversation.
"Idiot, if you had mentioned her before, which you hadn't, we wouldn't of react the way we had," Rogue pointed out coldly as Sting stood there thinking.
"Oh….,"
"Sting, why haven't you mentioned you had sister ever?" Yukino questioned as she crossed her arms, the girl was actually slightly pissed the idiot had never brought it up.
"Well you guys already know my parents are divorced so that's part of that," Sting muttered as he crossed his arms.
Anyone who knew Sting in anyway pretty much knew his parents got divorced when he was about five, some people found it weird, and others sad since his mom had moved away after the divorce.
"Anyways, when my parents got divorced, one of the things they had to decide in court was who got what….one of those things being me and my sister, long story short my sister moved to London with my mom after the divorce…then I met you losers," Sting explained as he simply shrugged it off.
"Why would she be moving back then?" Rogue questioned as he stared at Sting blankly.
"A while back my mom got remarried, I don't know what the hell happened but I think it has to do with my mom's new husband," Sting muttered as he crossed his arms, it was clear the topic of his mom getting remarried was something he didn't exactly want to bring up.
The conversation between the three friends was interrupted by the sound of ringing as Sting answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Hello? Sting, you there?" The voice called, it clearly belonged to a girl, no doubt it was Sting's sister, not only that but the female had a heavy British accent as well but not so much to the point where you wouldn't be able to understand her.
"Hey Luce," Sting answered, his usual stupid grin making it's usual appearance.
"Sting, I really need a big favour," the girl muttered, her voice quiet almost as if she were panicked.
"Yeah sure, anything,"
"I need you to check one of the boxes to see if my music box is there, I-I can't remember if I already sent it or not,".
"You mean the one that da-,"
"Yes that one! The one with the stars! And can you please just not bring "him" up," Sting's sister hissed through the phone.
"Dammit Luce there's too many damned boxes to check!" Sting groaned as he looked at all the boxes he had to move inside.
"Umm Sting, I saw a music box earlier, the same one your sister is describing too," Yukino piped up as Sting let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah it's here," Sting answered plainly.
"Sting who was that?" She asked, it was no doubt she was referring to Yukino meaning she had heard the teen.
"Just a friend of mine,"
"Ooo, a girlfr-,"
Rather than let her finish her sentence, Sting quickly ended the call and dropped his phone back into his pocket.
"Her accent is so cool," Yukino whispered as she began fan-girling over the girls accent.
"Anyways as you can see, I have shit to do," Sting huffed as he looked down at Yukino.
"So I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?" Yukino mumbled as she clasped her hands behind her back as she began fidgeting nervously.
"Tch, if I don't decide to skip then sure, why not-,"
"Like hell I'm letting you skip school," Weisslogia deadpanned as Sting sweatdropped.
"Anyways I have t-…where the hell did Rogue go?!" Yukino yelled as she swivelled her head in every direction looking for the "missing" teen.
"He left a few minutes ago mumbling something about "waste of his time"," Sting explained as Yukino began panicking.
"I've got to go Sting! I can't be late again!" Yukino yelled as she took off in the direction Rogue had possibly gone.
Weisslogia walked over to one of the many boxes as he bent down and looked into it to find the dark blue starry sky music box.
"I didn't know your sister still kept this," Weisslogia murmured as he picked up at music box and inspected it, it was obvious the girl had kept it in perfect condition all these tears, it was almost a miracle she had been able to keep it looking almost perfect.
"Yeah, she brought it up in a few conversations," Sting explained as he picked up another box.
"Aww see, I knew my precious little baby girl could never hate me," Weisslogia grinned as Sting sweatdropped at his fathers actions as his look was replaced with anger.
"Will you stop being such a creep and I wouldn't hold your breath old man!" Sting roared, clearly embarrassed by his fathers actions.
"I am not old you ungrateful brat!"
(Timeskip)
Yukino sat at her desk as she was lost in her thoughts.
'Why had he never brought up his sister,' Yukino wondered as she tried to figure out his reasons behind not mentioning his sister.
There were tons of possibilities, he may of not known how to explain it or he could've been hurt over having his sister move to another country, or maybe he had just forgotten which was the most likely scenario considering Sting.
"ki…no…Yukino," a voice called as a hand was rested on her shoulder as the silver haired girl flinched and snapped out of her thoughts.
"What is it Dobengal?" Yukino questioned as she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Where the hell is Sting?" Dobengal questioned as he looked down at Yukino.
"Umm…,"
Yukino honestly didn't know what to say, what would she have said?
"Hey, Sting's away because the sister we never knew he had is moving back all of a sudden so he has to deal with his own family stuff,"
Sure, because finding out about someone's never before seen or mentioned sister didn't sound like a total lie, luckily for her, Yukino didn't have to do the talking.
"He's away," Rogue deadpanned as he put it into the simplest of words.
"I know that you fucking prick, if he isn't here where else could he fucking be?" Dobengal hissed sarcastically as he glared at Rogue who paid him no attention.
"Across seas, maybe even is London dealing with family," Rogue shot back sarcastically as he kept his nose buried in his book.
Yukino glared daggers at Rogue considering the fact that he was referring to Sting's situation, not that the others would be able to figure it out.
"I hope you know that you're a dick," Dobengal spat as he continued to glare.
Rather than make another half assed comment, Rogue kept his mouth shut as he continued to read, tuning just about everyone and everything out.
(Timeskip)
"Wow, looks like Sting and his dad got rid of all the boxes," Yukino pointed out as she and Rogue walked up to the house.
Rather than knock on the door, Rogue simply open the already unlocked door as he walked into the house leaving an astonished Yukino standing there.
"Are you just going to keep standing there or are you going to come in?" Rogue questioned simply as he removed his sneakers and looked back at Yukino, snapping the girl out of her stupor as she snapped.
"Rogue you idiot! You can't just invite your self into someone's house like that!" Yukino hissed as she glared at Rogue who disappeared into the kitchen only to return with a bag of chips causing Yukino to glare at him harder(if it was even possible).
"Calm the fuck down and just come inside already," Rogue deadpanned as he plopped down onto the couch and made himself comfortable.
"But it's disrespectful! I can't just invite myself into someone else's house! What you're doing, is especially disrespectful!" Yukino raged as she continued glared at Rogue who paid her no attention, Yukino began mentally and visibly panicking as the sound of heavy footsteps traveling down the stairs could be heard.
"Rogue you fucker those were mine!" Sting growled as he glared at Rogue who was currently eating the bag of chips he had gotten earlier while watching tv.
Yukino, who was still standing in the doorway, was practically in shock over the fact that Sting had paid no attention to the fact that Rogue had practically just broke into his house, stolen food from his kitchen and made himself comfortable in the couch almost as if it were a usual occurrence.
"Well that's too bad because it's mine now," Rogue deadpanned as he didn't even bother turning to look at Sting.
Sting finally realized the front door was open as he turned to find Yukino just standing there with her jaw dropped in shock.
"Yukino, why the hell are you just standing there?" Sting questioned as he raised an eyebrow at the girl.
"Umm…a-am I aloud to come in?" Yukino asked nervously as she finally snapped out of her state of shock.
"Rogue invited himself in didn't he? What the hell do you think," Sting deadpanned in a sarcastic manner as he looked at Yukino.
"R-Right, sorry," Yukino murmured shakily as she stepped into the house and closed the door behind her as she kicked off her shoes and walked into the living room.
"Why the hell are you apologizing, you didn't do anything," Sting stated as he leaned against the wall.
"S-Sorry….sorry," Yukino stammered as she realized her mistake….then facepalmed as she realized the loop she had gotten herself into.
"You're an idiot," Rogue deadpanned as Yukino turned to glare at him in anger.
"I'll be right back," Sting stated as he ran back up the stairs to go grab something.
Yukino quietly sat down in the couch as she folded her hands in her lap. Sure she'd been to Sting's house many different times, but it was now that she chose to begin carefully studying the house now as she noticed one thing.
"Now that I look around, I just noticed that there's no pictures of his mom or sister," Yukino murmured, Sting didn't exactly talk about his mom much and with good reason too c
"That's because my dad took them all down," Sting explained bluntly as he walked back into the living room holding his laptop, Yukino felt guilty for asking as she immediately began stammering nervously.
"Sting, I-I really didn't m-mean to bring i-it up or anyt-,"
"Relax, I'm not pissed or anything," Sting interrupted as he simply fell back onto the couch as he sat next to Yukino.
"So, when is your sister suppose to be coming to Japan?" Yukino asked quietly, clearly still feeling embarrassed and guilty about her previous question.
"Next week, she's supposed to be in our class too," Sting explained as his usual shit eating grin took over.
"Great," Rogue muttered under his breath sarcastically, in Rogue's opinion, if this mystery girl was anything like her brother, the school would be fucked, plain and simple.
"I don't have any photos of what she looks like now but this is the one I found first," Sting explained as he handed the photo to Yukino who looked down at it.
The picture feature a younger looking Weisslogia with a large grin on his face leaning against what looked like the railing of a bridge, in his arms was a little girl who could've been no older than three at the time, her short blonde hair tied into two little low pigtails and a large grin on her face as she had her small arms wrapped around her father in a hug.
"I thought you said your dad took all the photos down, where'd you find this one?" Yukino questioned as she raised an eyebrow at Sting.
"He did, he has a bunch of pictures from when me and my sister were kids hidden in a box upstairs," Sting explained as he simply shrugged it off.
"Your dad really loves your sister doesn't he?" Yukino muttered as she handed the photo back to Sting.
"Yeah, can't say the same about my sister when it comes to him though," Sting muttered under his breath as he placed the photo onto the coffee table.
"Why? Does she not like your dad anymore or something?"
"Something like that, not really my place to say," Sting muttered as he crossed his arms an rested back into the couch.
"Speaking of which, where a the old man anyway?" Rogue deadpanned, not once taking his eyes off the tv.
"Left a while back to go deal with how my sisters actually getting here," Sting explained as he stretched his arms.
"I have to go," Rogue deadpanned as he stood and grabbed his backpack as he headed towards the front door.
"You haven't even been here for an hour," Sting pointed out as he remained in his spot on the couch.
"I have shit to do," Rogue deadpanned as he quickly put on his shoes and headed out the door, taking the bag of chips with him.
An awkward silence fell over the two remaining teens as they stared at the now closed door where Rogue had once been.
"How many times does he actually do that?" Yukino asked as they continued to stare at the spot blankly.
"Too many to count," Sting deadpanned as he and Yukino continued to sit there in silence.
(About a week later)
The sound of Fallout boy's The Phoenix blasted through pink earphones loudly, tuning out the sounds of the loud chatter filling the train station. Humming to the time of her song, the teen made her way through the train station, pulling her suitcases behind her, desperately trying to make sure she wouldn't miss her train. She came to a stop as she quickly fished through her backpack as she fished out her train ticket.
"First class huh…..old bastard really went all out didn't he," she murmured bitterly under her breath as her brown eyes quickly scanned the ticket.
"Alright, platform 14-19…," she muttered as she carefully placed the ticket back into her backpack as she began making her way through the crowded station against once more, pulling her suitcase behind her as her head swiveled in every direction looking for her boarding platform.
Luckily for the blonde teen, her station wasn't too far as she made her way over to a bench as she sat down on a bench.
"Way to go Lucy, and with seven minutes to spare," Lucy cheered as she mentally pat herself on the back in celebration.
Her little celebration was interrupted by the growling of her stomach as she immediately stood to her feet as she left the bench, pulling her suitcases behind her as she quickly made her way to one of the ekiben shops located in the station. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on the blondes side as a long line winded around the shop.
"You have got to be kidding me, so much for "lucky Lucy"," she muttered bitterly as she simply just joined the line which was thankfully moving along pretty fast.
Her brown eyes scanned over the many mouth watering realistic plastic display models as the line crept by, many of the options included things such as onigiri, sushi and typical deep fried foods with rice. A certain glint appeared in the blondes eyes as she found the one option featuring most of her favourites, luckily for the blonde, she wouldn't have to wait much longer for food considering she was next. The blonde was so hungry that she hadn't even waited for the cashier to speak as she immediately spoke up.
"I'd like number 12 please," the blonde chirped as she fished her purse out of her backpack.
"That'll be 700¥," the cashier deadpanned, obviously not happy about their job at the incredibly busy train station.
'So glad I changed the currency before I left London,' the blonde huffed mentally as she pulled the required amount of money out of her purse as she placed it into the cashiers open hand.
The cashier quickly placed the money into the cash register before leaving and quickly grabbing Lucy's order before returning and placing it in a plastic bag before handing it to Lucy.
"Thank you," Lucy chirped as she quickly took the bag and grabbed the handle of her suitcase as she left the shop, pulling her bags behind her.
The blonde grabbed one of her pink earbuds and stuck it into her ear as she bobbed her head to the beat of the song.
"Now boarding First Class passengers aboard the Nozomi Shinkansen on-route to Shin-Osaka," came the computerized voice over the intercom.
Lucy picked up her pace and began walking faster as she made her way back to the boarding platform where many first class passengers were boarding, the blonde quickly boarded the first class car as she looked around for a seat. Luckily for the blonde, the car was practically empty since it was practically only business men and tourists traveling first class meaning it wasn't too hard for her to find a seat. The blonde made herself comfortable in a seat as she let out a loud sigh of relief as she pulled out the tray on the table in front of her as she placed her recently bought lunch onto the table. She reached into the plastic bag and pulled out her pair of chopsticks as she un-boxed her lunch, her stomach let out a perfectly timed growl as she stared at the different deep fried options intensely. Chopsticks in hand, the blonde's attention was immediately turned from her lunch to the window as she finally realized the train had started moving. Thumping loudly, her heart raced in her chest as she stared at the scenery passing by as the train rolled out of the station smoothly.
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this," Lucy murmured sadly as she adjusted her red framed glasses as she placed her palm on the cool glass of the window.
Never in her life would the blonde thought she would've found herself in this position, thousands of miles away from her mother across seas. Sure, she had been the one who wanted to leave London, but deep in her heart, it still hurt that she had gone through with it. It hurt, it really did hurt knowing she had hurt her mom mentally with her thoughts of wanting to go back home to Japan. As much as the blonde hated to admit it, she was also glad her dad had actually jumped at the chance to have her back home. She knew it would be awkward seeing her father after such a long time, considering the terms they had basically left off on.
"I guess I'm going back home," Lucy whispered as she removed her hand from the window as she opened her backpack and pulled out her pastel blue Polaroid camera decorated with white hearts.
The view was absolutely breathtaking, the scenery the train was zooming by was capturing the blondes eye as she brought the camera up to the window waiting for the perfect time to snap a picture. Just her train ride to Kyoto alone was stirring up a lot of old memories for the teens, some bitters, others happy, few even depressing. Her finger quickly pressed down on the button as she snapped a picture of the Tokyo scenery whizzing by her window. Just like a Polaroid camera was supposed to do, the picture was quickly printed as Lucy grabbed the edge and began waving it back and forth, obviously trying to develop the photo faster. Minutes later, the photo had developed as a small smile graced the blondes features as she looked down at the photo. She reached into her backpack and pulled out her coloured permanent marks and an aqua scrapbook which was decorated with many different drawings, stickers and stick on gems. Pages of the scrapbook were filled with many different pictures from her trip back home including her time in London before she had left. The blonde pulled out a glue stick from her backpack as she applied some to the back of the photo and stuck it to the page on an angle. Uncapping the permanent black marker, Lucy begun writing oh so neatly under the photo captioning it "almost there", once that task was finished, she began decorating the page with many cute little drawings, one of which included the rilakkuma teddy bear hidden in her bag.
"I wonder what Sting's going to do when I get there," Lucy murmured as she covered all the markers before dropping them back into her bag.
She wouldn't lie, she was definitely nervous about seeing her brother in person after eleven long years, eleven years too many actually. The only contact the two had over the last eleven years had been limited to just phone calls and video chats as well as annually sending the other a birthday present whenever the day came around. Sure, the two had always tried to meet up in person with one travelling from the UK to Japan and vice versa (with a parent of course) but every time they tried, another one of their parents bitter arguments and disagreements got in the way, eventually they had given up. Lucy gently closed the scrapbook and placed it on the empty seat beside her along with her camera as she got back to eating her lunch.
(2 ½ hours later)
The station was loud and filled with people from all over Japan and the world, tourists from other countries and even visiting family members.
"So do you see her yet?" Yukino asked as she stood next to Sting, her hands clasped behind her back as she looked up at the blonde teen.
"No, she said she got off the train, idiot probably got lost," Sting muttered under his breath as he placed his phone back into his pocket.
"Why are we just hearing about Sting's never before seen sister?" Orga questioned as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.
"He said she just never came up in conversations," Yukino explained as she turned to look at the others.
"Way to go and explain for your boyfriend Yukino," Dobengal grinned as he and the others (sans Rogue) began snickering as Yukino's face almost immediately became a bright red.
"W-We aren't even dating!" Yukino yelled in defense as her heart thumped loudly in her chest, her face felt hot as it continued to burn bright red.
"We could be if you wanted to," Sting whispered huskily as he draped an arm across Yukino's shoulder, a devilish grin on his face as Yukino's blush somehow deepened.
"G-Get off of me!" Yukino shrieked as the others began laughing as she shoved Sting off of her and crossed her arms.
"J-Jerks," Yukino muttered under her breath as she fidgeted nervously, the teen kept her head down in embarrassment, she could feel Sting's gaze practically burning into her as she refused to look at him.
"Aww come on Yukino, it was just a joke," Sting huffed as he poked the girl, receiving no answer from her.
"So what does your sister look like anyway?" Dobengal questioned as he tried to clear up whatever little awkward tension they had caused.
"Umm…how the fuck do I describe my own little sister?" Sting muttered as he desperately tried to remember any details.
"Like you describe any other person idiot, height, hair color," Rufus deadpanned as he refused the urge to facepalm at Sting's idiocy.
"Well her hair is a darker blonde than mine and last time I checked her hair reached her waist…brown eyes like my mom….oh, she's about the same height as Yukino," Sting finished as he mentally pat himself on his back for his "award winning explanation".
"You mean kind of like that?" Rogue deadpanned as he finally broke his silence as he pointed off into the crowd, not once looking up from his book as he did so.
Off in the direction Rogue had pointed stood a blonde fitting most of Sting' description, her back turned to them as she took pictures of the station with a pastel blue Polaroid camera.
"Lucy!" Sting yelled as he cupped his hands around his mouth to project his voice more, immediately at Sting's call, the girl whirled around as her brown eyes met Sting's piercing blue ones.
"Sting!" Lucy grinned as she placed her camera in her bag and grabbed her bags as she broke off into a sprint.
Being the klutz she was, as she neared Sting, the blonde stumbled over her own feet as she immediately went crashing to the floor, her glasses flying off her face as she comically slid across the floor slightly and came to a stop in front of someone.
"Great first impression Lucy," Lucy mumble bitterly as she got up off the floor so that she was practically crawling as she let out a whimper of embarrassment.
The blonde opened her eyes to find a pale hand out in front of her as she looked up to find a pair of piercing red emotionless eyes staring down at her…or eye considering the other was covered by the teens messy black hair.
'Interesting eye color,' Lucy thought as she stared up at the teen as she gladly accepted his hand as he pulled her to her feet.
"I believe these are yours," he deadpanned as he handed Lucy her glasses back to her, Lucy took her glasses from him as she wiped them off before placing them back on her face.
"Tha-," before she could even thank the teen, he had gone back to apparently ignoring everyone and every thing as he went back to reading the book in his hand.
"Great, you're still the clumsy idiot I remember," came the cocky voice from behind her as she spun around only to find Sting standing there, a stupid cocky grin plastered on his face.
"Last time I checked, you weren't so cocky," Lucy pointed out, her accent as heavy as ever as she stared up at her brother.
"Tch, well shit happens," Sting deadpanned as he simply dismissed her comment with the wave of a hand.
A small giggle escaped Lucy's lips as she threw herself at Sting and wrapped her arms around Sting as he did the same.
"It's so good to see you again," came Lucy's muffled reply as she buried her face in her brothers shirt.
"Luce…are you crying?" Sting questioned as he could feel Lucy's tears soak through his shirt.
"…n-no,"
"You're still a horrible liar," Sting grinned as they broke the hug.
"Its so weird seeing you in person after so long, we used to be the same height and now you're towering over me," Lucy pointed out with a chuckle as she removed her glasses momentarily to wipe her tears.
"Forever short as hell Luce," Sting taunted as he ruffled Lucy's hair knowing how much it actually annoyed her.
"Sting, aren't you going to introduce us?" Yukino asked as she finally broke her temporary silence and caught Lucy's attention as she finally turned around and noticed the others.
"Right…Luce, this is Yukino, Yukino this is obviously my sister Lucy," Sting grinned as he draped an arm across Yukino's shoulder as her face became red once more.
"Wait…are you two..like, together?" Lucy asked as she raised an eyebrow at the duo as the others began snickering at her question.
"N-No!" Yukino yelled as she shoved Sting off of her once more.
"Sorry about that, didn't mean to just walk in or assume anything," Lucy chuckled as she stood there with a small smile.
"That's fine, it's really nice to meet you," Yukino smile softly as she looked at Lucy.
"Anyway, that's Rufus, Orga and Dobengal, idiots meet my sister," Sting deadpanned as he pointed them out in order for Lucy.
"Damn…," Dobengal muttered as he let out a low wolf whistle as his eyes roamed over Lucy's body, the blonde was curvy and had filled out in all the right places, nice hips and a nice ass, not to mention that massive chest of hers.
"It's nice to meet you three," Lucy chirped as she waved at the three, a small smile on her face as she stood there.
"Oh, and the Emo guy over there is Rogue," Sting smirked as he pointed to Rogue who was still leaning against the wall.
"It's nice to meet you too…I guess," Lucy mumbled, unlike the others, she hadn't received any sort of greeting from the teen, Lucy wouldn't lie, she was not thrown off by how cold he was.
"Don't mind him, he's always like that," Yukino explained as she made her best attempt to make sure the girl felt somewhat welcomed.
"Alright them…if that's what you say," Lucy murmured as she looked back at Rogue one last time before turning back to her brother.
"By the way, mom asked me to give you this," Lucy grinned as she dug through her bag before pulling out a small gift wrapped box and tossing it to Sting.
"Speaking of mom, I thought she was gonna come to Japan with you for at least a day or two," Sting muttered as he shook the box, his curiosity getting the better of him as he tried to figure out what was in the box without opening it.
"You know mom already, she can't stand the bastard, and with her new husband around everything would be awkward," Lucy mumbled, a bitter tone buried deep within her voice but had gone unnoticed by all but one person.
"Right..we should probably leave now," Sting trailed off as Lucy nodded as she grabbed the handles of her bag as she followed after her brother and his friends.
Repeating a scene from earlier, the blonde's klutziness was present once more as she tripped over her own to feet and crashed to the ground.
"Idiot," Sting deadpanned as he facepalmed at the shorter blonde.
(Timeskip)
Nostalgia. The one emotion Lucy felt at the moment as she stood in the living room, her head slowly turning in every direction as she looked around.
"It hasn't changed much," Lucy murmured as she noticed the house wasn't much different than when her and her mother had left.
"Yeah, the only thing that really changed was dad taking down some old photos," Sting shrugged as Lucy remained quiet as she continued to look around.
Before her mind could even register what the hell was going on, Lucy was pulled into a bone crushing hug, once she had finally registered what had happened, a frown immediately took the place of her usual bright smile as she realized who was crushing her ribs at the moment.
"Aww come on princess, aren't you going to say anything?" Weisslogia asked as Lucy chose to remain quiet.
A glare was now present on Lucy's face as she glared at the wall rather than look up at her father, her hands were pressed firmly against her sides and her hands balled tightly into fists.
"Aww come on princess, just say something please?" Weisslogia huffed as he looked down at the girl, he really should've seen this coming from miles away, simply giving up, he let go of Lucy as the blonde immediately turned her back to him.
"I'm taking my things upstairs," Lucy muttered, her face devoid of all emotion as she grabbed one of her suitcases as she began struggling to pull it up the stairs, unintentionally drawing more attention to herself, an awkward silence fell over the group of friends once Lucy was upstairs.
"What was that all about?" Yukino asked as she broke the awkward silence and looked at Sting for answers.
"Uhh…Lucy and my dad don't exactly…get along, my sister doesn't talk to my dad anymore," Sting explained awkwardly as he stared at the stairs, he had already figured out she had probably locked herself in her room already.
"Oh….," Yukino trailed off as the awkward atmosphere returned tenfold.
(Later that night)
"Why wont she answer," Lucy muttered bitterly as she fell back onto her bed, she cried out in frustration as she tossed her phone across the room as it luckily landed onto the beanbag chair that was now in her room.
Knocks sounded on her door as the blonde sat up and looked at her door, choosing to remain quiet as stared at her door blankly.
"Luce it's me, you awake still?" Came Sting's voice through the closed door.
"Yeah I'm awake, what is it?" Lucy asked she stood to her feet and walked over to the door and opened it.
"The showers free now just so you know, you can really use a shower too you dork," Sting pointed out with a cocky smirk on his face as he ran a towel through his still damp here.
"Just because I wear glasses doesn't make me a dork you jerk," Lucy muttered under her breath as she removed her glasses and placed them on her nightstand as she quickly grabbed her towel as well as other essentials for her shower.
"Nice try little dork," Sting smirked as he leaned on Lucy and ruffled her hair causing her to glare up at him, no doubt he was not only poking fun at her glasses but her height as well.
"Bastard," Lucy hissed as she shoved Sting off her and marched into the bathroom.
Glancing around the bathroom, Lucy was shocked to find it so surprisingly clean considering Sting would pretty much be the only one using it. Humming to herself, she simply closed the door behind her before pulling her shirt over her head until slowly, piece by piece every article of clothing she had been wearing piled up on the floor. She quickly turned on the shower, allowing the water to heat up before stepping under the hot spray of the shower. After twelve hours on a plane and another two on a train, the blonde definitely felt like this shower was a well deserved and well needed one. A small content sigh escaped her lips as she grabbed her coconut scented shampoo as she quickly got to work lathering her hair.
(Quick Timeskip)
If the teen could use one word to describe how he felt right now, without a doubt it would've been pissed. He quickly tried to gather his scrambled thoughts as well as block out the sounds coming from the two present "idiots". Gritting his teeth in annoyance, his focus immediately went back to the notebook in front of him as the point of the pencil danced across the page. With one rather loud and annoying sound, the tip of the pencil broke as the teens annoyance level practically spiked through the roof as he finally lost it.
"Do you idiots ever fucking quit?!" Rogue roared as he finally snapped, standing to his feet as he glared at Yukino and Sting darkly, the pencil he had once been using now rest in two pieces on the floor.
"Uhh…," Yukino and Sting couldn't even form words at the moment, Rogue rarely ever lost his temper, being the level-headed person he usually was, when he snapped, everyone fell silent.
"I'm going to the bathroom," Rogue deadpanned as he unclenched his fists and left the living room, leaving the two idiots behind.
A rough sigh of annoyance left his lips as he marched up the stairs and to the upstairs bathroom, he was used to coming here so many times and knew that Sting was practically the only one who ever used it. His hand rested on the door knob as he twisted the knob and immediately pushed the door open but stopped short of actually entering as a wave of heat hit his face, his mind quickly picked up on what happened as he simply froze. There stood none other than Lucy…completely naked…and still wet from her shower. Both teens stood there staring at each other awkwardly, almost as if hoping it were just a bad dream.
"Uhh…," and for the first in the longest while, the smart ass teen couldn't find the right words to even form the simplest of sentences.
Finally, Lucy's mind had finally pieced together what was going on as she let out a scream of shock followed by a whimper of embarrassment as she quickly wrapped herself in her fuzzy teal towel before pushing past Rogue and out of the bathroom before dashing into her room and slamming the door behind her.
"What the fuck just happened?" Rogue asked himself as he continued to stand there, staring blankly at the spot where the blonde had just been.
As embarrassing as the situation was, Rogue had to admit that the Brit definitely excelled when it came to beauty.
Face still flushed bright red in embarrassment, Lucy let out a quiet groan of embarrassment as she flopped onto her bed.
"Great, my brother's best friend just saw me naked," Lucy groaned as she pulled out a white bra with little kawaii cartoon cookies printed on it and a pair of matching panties as she simply slipped the garments on before pulling a white tank-top over her head and sliding a pair of cotton black pajama shorts up her legs followed by a pair thigh high white with thin purple stripes socks.
Lucy took her towel and began patting dry her hair before grabbing two hair ties as she begun twisting her long blonde hair into the buns on either side of her head as she used bobby pins to help hold it. Grabbing her glasses and placing them back on her face before leaving her room, closing the door behind her as she quickly made her way down the stairs and into the living room where her brother was.
"What took you so long?" Sting questioned as he looked at his sister who had gone into the kitchen for a brief moment before returning with a plate of food.
"I was in the shower," came Lucy's quiet response as she unintentionally made eye contact with Rogue who immediately looked away, luckily for both teens, this went unnoticed by both Sting and Yukino.
Needless to say, her first day back in Japan was already off to an odd start.
Finally. I'm finished. Had a small case of writers block while writing this but alas, I have slain the traitorous beast known as writers block!
