Just an AU university setting complete with cat-loving, nervous wreck Rogue Cheney, cocky Sting Eucliffe, a terrifying Erza Scarlet, an underdressed Millianna topped off with cinnamon roll Kagura Mikazuchi. To be honest they are all cinnamon rolls. Who should be protected at all costs. Ignore this and just enjoy.

Medical journals spread all across the coffee table, several sheets of paper what were scribbled on and numerous pens and highlighters surrounding them, the sitting area of the living room had been turned into one big study session for medical student, Rogue Cheney.

He currently occupied the couch, legs propped up on the arm as his cat Frosch laid beside him, lightly purring as his owner gently scratched behind the clothed ear of the feline.

For once the normally loud apartment was loud. But today it was quiet, too quiet.

Oh but of course, that didn't last long. His roommate bursting through the door with a frantic expression on his face.

"ROGUE!"

The dark haired man sighed, briefly glancing at his friend before turning his attention back to his book.

"Yes Sting?" Rogue questioned.

"We got a problem!"

"We? Or you? Natsu didn't convince you to steal Erza's underwear, again?" he asked further, his fingers rubbing the bridge of his nose as he recalled the events.

The firery red head had kicked down the door to their apartment, dragging their unconscious pink haired friend by his jacket collar, a shinai in the other hand as she shot the coldest glare the blonde's way.

Rogue would have intervened, but this was Erza Scarlet. The Titania Erza; Culinary Arts student, Regional State champion and MVP of the university team in the fighting art of Kendo.

One does not simply assist in saving someone, especially when you're saving that person from Erza Scarlet.

That and Rogue didn't really feel like dying that day.

He had never heard his friend scream so loudly as she beat him with the weapon, bending him over her knee as she smacked the stick over his backside numerous amount of times, scolding him for stealing her undergarments.

Sting couldn't sit down nor walk properly for two weeks.

"No, she warned me that if I ever did that again she'd strip me naked and dangle me from the tree in the park." Sting mumbled, internally cringing at the thought.

Rogue covered up his laugher with a cough, his hand over his mouth to hide his smile.

"So what is it?"

"They're coming to check our apartments to make sure we're keeping them tidy."

Rogue's eyes widened, his eyes glancing at his cat and the red cat that occupied the arm chair, Lector - who was owned by Sting.

"We need to hide the cats!" the both spoke in unison.

According to university rules, any pets were forbidden in the dormitories or campus. However there were several people who ignored that rule, Sting and Rogue included.

He didn't mean to bring a cat with him back to university, it just happened.

Rogue had volunteered at a cat shelter near his house during summer break. A small green cat had been bought in after being rescued from a laboratory for animal testing, for some reason the cat's fur had turned green and had gained several skin conditions.

Taking one glance at the small fur-ball, Rogue instantly fell in love with him, and soon dubbed the feline the 'cutest thing in the world'.

Deciding to adopt the cute little thing, Rogue just had to deal with one more problem; it's skin conditions. However with a bit of research and numerous hours spent on the internet Rogue had found a solution.

A onesie for cats.

Rogue couldn't believe one piece suits for felines, or any pet existed but instantly ordered several colours what were in a frog design.

He had also found an ointment treatment to held soothe the cats skin, whilst conditioning it's fur.

A week later his new friend was bought home donned it its new outfit, his mother instantly squealing at the sight of the adorable thing what was dressed in a pink frog onesie.

He named him Frosch, which was German for frog.

When it came to Frosch the cat, Rogue's somewhat stoic exterior would vanish, instantly coddling the cat like a small child.

His mom commented that he had great paternal instincts and would make a brilliant father before rambling on about wanting grandchildren, his father simply rolling his eyes at his wife's antics and his son who looked after a pet like it was a newborn baby.

As soon as summer break was over, Rogue was stuck with a problem.

What was he going to do with Frosch?

His father said that he wasn't looking after the cat, 'your cat, your responsibility' he droned several times.

So Rogue was left with no choice but to bring the cat with him back to campus. Yet when he returned he and four of his other students had also bought back cats, Sting included.

There was Natsu and his cat Happy, Gajeel and his cat Panther Lily - who was just like his owner in looks and personality, only in cat form. Wendy and Carla, the only female cat in the group and then there was Sting and his cat Lector.

Toby Horhorta from the Lamia Scale dormitory had claimed he also had a cat, wanting in on this small social circle yet the so-called-cat turned out to be a sock.

A dirty one at that.

He got kicked out of their small meet-up at Natsu's dorm room, Gajeel unceremoniously throwing him out before slamming the door in his face.

It was like a super secret social club, for the cats and the owners to bond.

Picking up their feline friends in their arms Sting and Rogue made a run for the door, making their way down the stairs and exiting the Sabertooth dormitory.

"Where are we going?" Sting asked as he ran behind Rogue.

"Honestly, I have no clue."

The pair ran for several more minutes before stopping outside the dormitory of Mermaid Heel, both of them glancing at one another before checking the time.

15:46 p.m. They still had time.

Mermaid heel was a sorority house exclusive for women, yet men were permitted to visit as long as they left the premises by 10 p.m. The equivalent fraternity to them was Quatro Cerebus, who were housed on the other side of campus.

Glancing at the doors Rogue turned to look at his friend who looked uncertain, "Do you think we should?" the dark haired man asked.

"We don't seem to have any other choice, I know that they had their dorm checked the other day, so it's safe." Sting shrugged.

Nodding they both walked inside Mermaid Heel, making their way up the stairs of the dormitory stopping at a random door.

Knocking on the door Rogue and Sting waited, cat's cradled in their arms as they waited for somebody to answer the door.

"I hope it's not someone scary.." Sting shuddered.

"Don't be silly, Sting. I'm sure whoever answers will be perfect-"

The door opened, Rogue's eyes widening as he recognised the person who had opened the door.

"Kagura." Rogue stuttered, having to make several attempts to pronounce her name.

Standing before the pair was Kagura Mikazuchi; Forensic Science student, a member of the Kendo team, the woman of Rogue Cheney's dreams and the sole reason behind several of his nosebleeds.

Not that she had ever physically punched him, just mentally winded him whenever he saw her looking stunning, which was practically every day.

She wore her signature white ribbon headband, contrasting in her dark hair. An oversized grey sweater and black leggings, black combat boots adorning her feet.

Gosh, she looked beautiful in just about everything, Rogue thought but quickly shook the intruding monologue out of his mind.

Now was not the time to get a nosebleed.

To be honest she had rarely ever spoke to him, only conversing with him whenever she needed help getting a book from the top shelf and he just so happened to be there - he swears it was just a coincidence, Sting had dubbed it stalking - or when she had commented him on his guitar playing whenever Mira-Jane had asked him to accompany her onstage whilst she sang on open-mic night at the coffee shop.

Other then that they had separate social circles.

"Ah...so this is Kagura." Sting glanced at his friend smirking as his eyes glinted with mischief.

Rogue shooting his best friend a glare, mentally telling him to shut up.

The dark haired woman glanced at the blonde with a frown, not only at his slightly creepy expression but also his choice of clothing.

Like what guy wears a crop top? It's not the 80's!

Kagura's gaze turned to Rogue, an eyebrow raising in question at the sight of the guy she had noticed in and around campus, and had often joined Kendo practice. However Rogue was mainly known for being a part of the university baseball team, alongside his friend Sting. She only knew that because Yukino had dragged her to several of the games to see the team play, however she was sure that the white-haired woman who was on the same course as her just wanted to stare at the other man who occupied her door space, Sting.

However she will admit, Rogue was rather attractive. Especially in his baseball gear, hair dishevelled and a light sheen of sweat coating his face after running around so much and that ass in those tight pants- wait, what was she doing again?

Clearing her throat Kagura glanced at the two men, "Can I help you?" she asked.

"We was wondering if you could help us." Rogue mumbled, looking down bashfully.

Sting rolled his eyes at his friends social skills, then again Rogue had never really been the social type. "Can you speak alittle louder buddy?" the blonde nudged his friend.

"I said can you help us!" Rogue's voice wavering between quiet and loud, startling the woman as Sting ran his hand over his face at his friend's behaviour.

"I'm sorry for my friend here, he's..." Sting glanced at his best friend before turning back to Kagura. "Just him. But can you do us a favour and watch our pets for us whilst our dorm gets searched?" the blonde pleaded, shooting his signature smile at the violet-haired forensic student.

Kagura looked at the two cats what rested in the pairs arms, her void expression instantly melting away at the sight of the cat in the pink frog suit.

She just couldn't say no.

Just as she was about to answer a brown haired girl wearing, well... nothing but her underwear and a pair of cat ears appeared at the door. "Kagura who is it- oh, is this your new boyfriend?"

"He's not my boyfriend!" she snapped, a slight flush of pink appearing on her cheeks.

Sting and Rogue diverted their gazes elsewhere, unsure where to look at the rather exposed woman.

"Meow-kitty!" the girl shouted, pushing Kagura out of the way to bend down to look at the felines more. "They're so adorable!" she squealed.

"Millianna, keep your voice down! And where are your clothes?! Gosh, you're just as bad as that stripper from Fairy Tail." Kagura scolded her friend, who ignored her words.

Sting's eyes just about popped out of his sockets as his eyes somewhat landed on the brunette's cleavage, which was spilling out of her bra.

"Millianna, why are you making such a noise?" another voice spoke, coming into view.

Rogue's eyes widened as Sting inhaled sharply at the sight of Erza Scarlet.

Ah yes, of course Kagura was friends with her.

The blondes face paled as Erza locked eyes with him, her smile fading into a hardened glare. "Oh, Sting. How unfortunate to see you."

"Erza." he greeted, gulping.

"Looking to steal Kagura's panties this time?"

"That's more Rogue's dream but.." Sting mumbled under his breath, only loud enough for his friend to hear. He earned an elbow in the ribs for that comment. "We were just asking Kagura if she would watch our cats whilst they check our dorm, if she didn't mind." he spoke, his tone forced out with a grin.

"If I was her, I'd rat you out to the school board." Erza snidely commented, continuing to glare at the blonde.

"Because you're such a bitch." is what Sting would have said if he wasn't deathly afraid of her.

"Ever such a charmer, Miss Scarlet." Sting smiled grimly.

"Can you two go away, I want to have this conversation in peace." Kagura huffed, pushing her two intruding friends away from the doorway.

Sting and Rogue glanced at one another in shock at the woman who had told Erza - the Erza - to go away. If that was anybody else they probably would be dead.

Finally being left alone with the two guys from Sabertooth, Kagura huffed as she leant against the doorway. "So you want me to look after your pets?" she repeated.

The pair nodded.

"How long for?"

"Just until they finish checking our dorm, please we're desperate." Rogue pleaded, finally finding his voice after standing there staring at Kagura for several seconds.

Kagura looked between the two men before letting out a sigh, "Sure, I guess so."

Rogue and Sting sighed with relief, matching smiles gracing their faces.

"You have no idea how much you have saved our lives!" Sting grinned, handing over Lector to her.

"No problem." she smiled slightly at them adjusting the red cat in her arms only for it to be snatched only seconds later by Millianna.

"HE'S SO CUTE!"

Kagura looked back at the blonde, "I swear she'll keep him safe." she spoke, reassuring him after seeing the look of apprehension on his face. Looking at his friend and his onesie-clad cat he held like a baby, Kagura held out her hands sending him a small smile.

Rogue looked at Frosch before looking back at at the resident Mermaid, "Just whatever you do, don't let him get wet. And keep the suit on him." he instructed.

Sting rolled his eyes, "Can you just hand your weird cat over to your girlfriend so we can go?!"

"My cat is not weird! It just has skin problems!" Rogue shouted, glaring at his friend before mumbling "And she's not my girlfriend!" His head lowering slightly.

"Yeah, whatever you say buddy. And I don't have the best ab's in this whole university." the blonde huffed, gesturing to his exposed stomach.

Rogue rolled his eyes at his friend before punching him in the jaw, Sting dropping to the floor.

Kagura's eyes widened at what she had just witnessed. These guys were just as bad as the ones at Fairy Tail, she mused.

Scratching the nape of his neck, Rogue looked at the violet-haired beauty, his eyes locking with hers. "I'm sorry about that, he's uh...Sting." he coughed awkwardly, not knowing how exactly how to explain his best friend.

"It's fine, honestly. So no water in contact with the fur and don't take off the onesie? Got it." she noted, Rogue nodding his head as she recalled all the things he had told her to be careful of. "I'll make sure that-"

"Frosch."

"Frosch, is in my care. I'll watch over this precious little thing." she smiled, reaching her hand out to gently stroke the cat's covered head, Frosch purring from the contact.

Rogue smiled as he watched Kagura interact with his pet. After a few moments he handed him over into her arms, "I'll be back as soon as, I promise."

"No worries." Kagura shook her head.

Rogue shot her one last smile before picking up Sting's unconscious body, throwing him over his shoulder as he walked off down the hallway.

It had been three hours since the two guys from Sabertooth had dropped off their pets at Kagura's apartment she shared with Millianna.

She had left her roommate with Sting's cat in the living room as she took Frosch back to her room, where she continued with her studies.

Kagura was currently sitting at her desk, writing out an assignment when she felt something jump into her lap, averting her eyes from the laptop screen she looked down to find the frog-suit wearing cat glancing up at her.

"Oh hello Frosch, what's wrong? You want some attention?" she asked before stroking behind the cats ear, the green feline purring instantly at the contact. "Aren't you the cutest thing ever." she added.

And his owner is even cuter, I mean. What?

Shaking her head free of the thoughts, the dark haired student turned her attention back to her laptop only to be distracted by the cat again, this time it standing on its hind legs as it nuzzled its head into her neck.

"You're not going to leave me alone are you?" Kagura sighed with a sigh, smiling when the cat-frog meowed in response.

Standing from her chair, she held the feline in her arms as she walked over to her bed, lying down with the cat on top of her resting against her chest.

Frosch purred as it settled into a ball, closing its eyes as it drifted to sleep.

Kagura rolled her eyes with a smile, of course it wanted to fall asleep onto of her when she needed to finish her work, and her lap just wasn't good enough.

A soft knock at the door broke her out of her thoughts. "Come in." she spoke quietly, not wanting to wake the cat what was perched on top of her.

The door opened, Rogue peeking his head through, his heart instantly warming at the sight of Frosch asleep on top of Kagura's chest.

Lucky cat.

"May I come in?"

Kagura nodded, Rogue stepping into the bedroom shutting the door behind him.

"So how did it go?" she asked him as he took a seat in the chair by her desk.

"Fine, yeah. They didn't suspect a thing, although they did question the cat dishes. Luckily Sting said that we used them to put bird seed in, suggesting that we leave them on the balcony for the birds." he laughed.

"That's quite smart of him." Kagura smirked.

"He can be quick witted when he wants to be." Rogue shrugged, his laugh fading into a smile. "I see Frosch has made himself comfortable. I'm sorry if he was any trouble." he pointed out.

Kagura shook her head, "No trouble at all, if anything it was nice having company. Does he always sleep like this?"

"Yeah, it's his favourite place to nap. I'm surprised he's there. Frosch doesn't really like much human contact, he rarely lets Sting pet him. He's taken to you quite well."

"Well, the feeling is mutual." Kagura smiled at the cat. "I'm guessing you'll want him back?" she looked at Rogue with a slight pout.

Can she be any more wonderful?

Sitting up slowly Kagura stood from the bed, walking over to Rogue, who had now stood up from the seat, and handed over his cat.

"Once again, thank you for doing this. I'm sure this wasn't on your agenda for tonight." Rogue glanced at her, a lopsided smile gracing his face.

"Honestly, it's no problem. You don't have to thank me."

"If there is anything I could do to repay you..."

Raising a brow, Kagura tilted her head in thought. "Well, there is one thing..." she started, looking up at him through her thick lashes. Rogue nodded his head, signalling for her to continue. "I have heard that you make a pretty good lasagne, and was wondering if, well...that's if you don't mind..." she stuttered, her cheeks flushing with colour.

Rogue blushed, looking down sheepishly at Frosch, avoiding her gaze.

Did Kagura just inadvertently ask him out?

She must have heard this from Erza, he had taken several cooking classes at the Culinary school. He didn't want to live off of ramen noodles for the rest of the semester, so he opted into cooking classes.

He had seen the red head several times he was there, often helping out. Plus she had commented that he made a great pasta dish, which he was proud of.

Rogue had impressed the Erza Scarlet.

Plus with how much him and Sting ate, one of them had to be able to cook a decent meal.

But this was it, this was his chance.

Rogue's blush faded, taking a deep breath before smiling at her. "I'd love to, when are you free?"
