A/N: Hi Everyone~ I'm back with a new story. As promise this is a sequel of my other story, Detour. Enjoy~
For those who haven't read Detour, read Detour first before Fall Out~ :)
Again, English is my second language, I'm sorry for bad grammar. And I don't own Fairy Tail. :D
Chapter 1: Mysterious Guests
*Sting's P.O.V.*
"Ugh, too much paperwork!" I shout with no one as I throw my pen on my desk and leans my back on my comfortable chair. It's been 3 months since the alliance of Sabertooth and Fairy Tail and we've been getting along with them. All the members of the two guild go back and forth, and sometimes go to missions together, thanks to the Teleportation Device, and because of that the other members started to destroy some buildings whenever they went to missions, well that's only when they go together with some Fairy Tail members, a.k.a. Natsu-san. Thanks to that, my paperworks increase. Being a Master sure are exhausting, I rather go on missions with Rogue.
Speaking of Rogue, he's with Lucy at the forest at Magnolia helping her train and improve her magic skills and combat. He also go missions with her sometimes. I scratch my neck as I grab the newspaper, December 3, it's almost winter and Christmas is getting near, better plan a party with Fairy Tail later. I put down the newspaper, there's no interesting news anyway, and I went back on doing some paperworks, 'better finish this,' I thought.
"Finally done!" I shout again as I stand up and stretch my body. How long am I working? I look at the clock, 1:00 pm, 'Wow! It's still afternoon?' I thought. I heard a growl on my stomach, "Well, I better eat up and check if Rogue and Lucy are back," I said as I open my door and exit my office and went downstairs.
"Sting-kun!" I heard as I step on the first floor. I turn my head and saw my partner run towards me.
"Yoh Lector!" I greet him. I scan the room and sees that there are Fairy Tail members hanging out in our guild. I smile as I see them having fun. I look down on my partner.
"Want to go to Fairy Tail?" I ask him. He nods and we went to the Teleportation Device and teleports ourselves to the other guild.
At Fairy Tail guild
We step out on the device and scan the hall, I saw some of my members, Rufus were talking to the rune mage, Freed-san, and they seem to be talking about some books and spells. I saw Yukino at the bar, she seem to be learning some new recipes to Mira-san, then I saw Orga with Gajeel-san and they were composing?! I quickly turn my head pretending that I didn't see nor hear what they were composing and look for a certain Shadow Dragon Slayer, and saw no one.
"Hmm, I guess they haven't return," I mumble as I scratch my neck and then I heard my stomach again, so Lector and I headed towards the bar.
"Hey Yukino, Mira-san!" I greeted them as we approach the bar. The two ladies turn their heads and smile.
"Hi Sting," Mira-san greeted.
"Hello Lector-sama, Sting-sama, so how's work?" Yukino greeted me as she bows. I groan as I remember the pile of works on me a while ago.
"Well it's finally done, but please don't ever talk about it," I said as I place my arm on the table. Mira-san and Yukino giggle and nod.
"So, anything to eat here?" I asks, they gave me the list of food that's available and I pick one for me and for Lector, Mira-san nods and went to the back to prepare our food while Yukino prepares the drink, then after a couple of minutes Mira-san came back with my and Lector's food. We thanked them and went to sit on an empty chairs and places our food on the table, I was about to dig in when a warm arm sling on my shoulder.
"Yoh Sting, I didn't know you're here," I look up and saw the person I idolize the most, Natsu-san.
"Natsu-san! I just came a while ago after finishing my paperworks," I said as I smile at him. He grins back and then his partner, Happy fly down and lands on the table.
"Hi Lector! Want some fish? Natsu and I just came back from fishing," Happy said as he offers his fish to Lector.
"Ooh~ Thank you Happy, here have some of my food too," Lector said as he offers his food, in which Happy gladly accept and they started to eat. I look back at Natsu-san.
"Natsu-san, why don't you join me?" I said, he nods and went to Mira-san to grab something to eat, I nodded and sit still on my seat to wait for Natsu-san.
As I wait to Natsu-san, I try to recall all the new things happened these past few months, almost every week there will be a party for the 2 guild, it will either held here at Fairy Tail or at Sabertooth. And also Rogue and Lucy are not the only couples here anymore, Mira-san and Laxus-san had started dating one month after the announcement of the alliance, and also Juvia-san and Gray-san also started to date 2 weeks ago in which Juvia-san is really delighted and Lucy and Mira-san keeps on squealing.
There's also Erza-san, every month there will be a cake being delivered to her and there's no sender's name nor address, except for the letter J, and we all know who it was from, then I found out just recently that Levy-san has a thing for Gajeel-san, and vice versa but it seems that Gajeel-san is a little oblivious even though Levy-san sometimes leave a hint, I hope they tell their feelings for each other so they can go out now.
Love sure blossom here at Fairy Tail after Rogue and Lucy started to go out, that I feel kind of jealous. Well who wouldn't be? I'm a 19 years old teenage boy, still young and healthy and I'm currently the Master of Sabertooth, I probably the youngest master right now. I too, would also love to feel how to be in love.
There are girls fawning over me wherever I go, but that's only because I'm one of the Twin Dragon Slayer, then the master of Sabertooth. And it's a little hard to talk to them especially with all the squealing. The only girls I talk are either my guildmates or the Fairy Tail's, also some girls from the other guilds in which is barely.
'When will I meet the right girl?' I thought to myself, then I remember the girl that my father, Weisslogia, keeps talking about when he was still alive. I wonder how she is doing. Does she look for him? It's been years since the day I killed him, and I never once met her, even though he keeps saying that he'll let us meet. 'I wonder if she's cute just like Weisslogia said.'
I was snap back when I realize what I just thought, 'woah' cool Sting just because you're jealous that the others already have love life it doesn't mean you just randomly thought those kind of things, especially to a person you have never met nor talk, and only be heard from some stories of your parent. I rub my neck as I let out a big and loud sigh.
"Hmm? What's up Sting?" I heard someone, I turn my head and saw Natsu-san already back holding a plate full of food in flames.
"Oh it's nothing Natsu-san. I'm just a little tired on doing the paperworks," I said as I move a little bit so he can sit next to me.
"Hmm, that sure is tiresome," he reply as he sit down next to me. Now that I realize, even Natsu-san doesn't have a love life so I guess I'm not the only one. I was about to dig in when I heard him talk.
"Luce hasn't arrive?" he ask to no one.
"I think she and Rogue isn't done with their training," I answer him.
"Hmm, ever since they started going out they are always together, I kind of miss the times we go on missions only the 3 of us, me, Happy and Luce," he said as he started to dig in, then we heard Happy agrees on Natsu-san.
"Well, that's usually how couples are, but I thought you guys still go on missions just the 3 of you?" I ask as I took a bite on my meal.
"Yea, once or twice a month, but it's still kind of lonely," he said as I see a little sadness on him. I guess he really misses his best friend, just like me.
"Well I'm pretty sure if you ask Lucy she will surely agree, and knowing Rogue, he won't mind," I said to assure him and cheer him up. It seem to work as the sadness goes away and his usual smile and cheeriness came back.
"So Natsu-san, aren't you interested in having a girlfriend?" I ask as I change the subject.
"Ghurlfwiend?" he asks while chewing his flaming chicken. I nod.
"Hmm,*gulp* not that I have in mind now though," he answer as he scratch the back of his head.
"I see," I said. He asks why, but I told him it was nothing and started to eat again, in which he gladly agrees and took another bite from his meal.
Natsu-san and I are talking about some stuffs while we dig in our food when the door opens and the pre-winter breeze flows inside and there standing are Rogue, Lucy and Frosch.
"We're back!" Lucy shouts as she waves her hand while the other is holding Rogues. Everyone greeted her as they enter the guild and close the door.
"Yoh Luce, Rogue, Frosch!" Natsu-san greets them excitedly as he wave his hand. Lucy turn her head and saw us, she wave her hand, and tug Rogue, and then Rogue saw me and smile and the two of them head towards us, Frosch fly and land where Lector and Happy is.
"Hey Natsu! How's your day?" Lucy asks Natsu-san.
"Oh, Happy and I went fishing a while ago then came back here as I'm getting hungry. I don't want to eat fish right now so I told Happy he can eat his fish here while I ask Mira some food, and Sting and I were just talking about some stuffs," Natsu-san reply.
"How about you two? How's the training?" I ask as I took a bite on my food.
"It was fine, Lucy's improving and she can almost summon up to three spirits at the same time," Rogue said.
"Nice Luce! You've gotten stronger, show me your improvement when we go on a mission!" Natsu-san said as he grins at Lucy. She smile at him and nod.
"Well, we're quite hungry, we'll just get some food to Mira, we'll be back," Lucy said as she place her stuffs on the floor. She and Rogue went to the bar and ask for some spaghetti and her usual milkshake and a fish for Frosch who is sitting next to Lector and he share his food to Frosch while waiting for his own.
After a couple of minutes they came back with their food and sits in front of us, and they too started to dig in, then Lucy lifts her head and looks at us.
"Hey what date is today?" Lucy asks as she took a bite on her spaghetti.
"Today's December 3, I just saw it on the newspaper a while ago," I answer her as I finish my food and gulp my drink.
"December 3 huh," she mumble as she place her hand on her chin. Rogue, Natsu-san and I look at her with confusion.
"Is there something today?" Rogue asks, we stare at her as we wait for her answer. She looks up and smile on us.
"Nothing, it's just that someone I know is today's birthday," she answer and her eyes soften. Rogue and I look at each other and then to her, Natsu-san try to ask who it was but she just shrug it off, she probably doesn't want to talk about it. The 3 of us didn't push the details and they continue to eat as I watch them.
I realized after Rogue goes out with Lucy, he became more expressive, actually too expressive to the point that sometimes he will glare to those guys who are eyeing Lucy in lewd way or uses his shadows to trip them. Also sometimes we argue like Gray-san and Natsu-san when we have different opinion. It's kind of annoying but sometimes it's nice.
Gray-san, Erza-san, Wendy and Carla join us and we had some conversation, I talk them about the Christmas Party I was planning to had, they all love the idea, and they give different suggestions what we should do on the party.
We were having fun when suddenly the door burst open, everyone stops on whatever they were doing and look at the entrance, there standing in the entrance are two hooded figures wearing a black and worn out cloak. We all look at them with confusion, it was Mira-san who approach and talk to them.
"Hello! How may I help you two?" Mira-san ask. We all stare at the two visitor as we wait for either of them to answer.
"Is Lucy Heartifilia here?" one of them ask, then all of us gasp and our eyes widen.
