Hi! This is the first chapter of my new story, Crazy Love. I hope you enjoy it.Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. All I own is the story.
Sting couldn't remember a time when he hadn't been in love with Rogue. For as long as he could remember he had melted every time he saw those beautiful ruby red eyes, the flutter of those beautiful long eyelashes, and those beautiful long locks of black hair being blown in the wind.
But Sting had a problem. He loved Rogue with all his heart, but he didn't know if Rogue felt the same way. He wanted to ask Rogue, but the fear of rejection and the loss of his best friend, kept him quiet. No one knew how he felt, not even Lector.
Then one day, just before the Grand Magic Games, Sting got a burst of courage and decided he would find out how Rogue felt. He went to the closest library to his hotel in Clovis, and studied several books on pick-up lines.
When he felt that he had the perfect line, he left the library and went back to the hotel. He walked into the room Rogue and he shared. Rogue was sitting on his bed reading to Frosch and Lector.
Rogue paused and looked up at Sting as he entered the room.
"Where have you been? You were gone for a while. We could have been training."
"Sorry, Rogue. I had some errands to run. We don't have to train anyway. All the other teams don't stand a chance against us at our worst, much less our best, so don't worry!"
"You're right, but we should still be at our best, or Master would get angry. We still have a little time to train, so let's squeeze in all we can before bed."
"Yeah, sure."
They trained for a while, and then went to bed. Sting wasn't able to ask Rogue at all that night.
The next day the Sabertooth guild worked out strategies until it was around 11. The Twin Dragon Slayers and their Exceeds went for a walk around Clovis until they had to return to their hotel at midnight. While they were walking, Sting was thinking about confessing to Rogue. Suddenly they ran into another guild that wanted to fight.
It was over just as quickly as it began. That was when they met Natsu, Lucy, and Happy.
Sting didn't think much of it afterwards, as they were headed back to their hotel, because he was rehearsing his pick up line and confession.
Finally, he was ready. He felt like he had the perfect line for this occasion.
"Rogue, I was wondering if you had an extra heart. Mine was just stolen."
Internally, Sting was patting himself on the back. He had executed the line perfectly.
"What do you mean, your's was just stolen? Do you mean you like that girl we just met with Natsu?"
Then Lector, having heard the question, inquired, "Sting do really like her? She is from, not only a different guild, but a really weak one. I didn't think she was your type."
"What? No! That's not what I meant. I mean... I don't...nevermind," Sting sighed.
Before the others could ask anymore questions, they had arrived back at the hotel and the exchange had been forgotten.

'Right After the Fight Against the Dragons'
Sting looked around at the destruction caused by the dragons. It was terrible, but amidst the rumble stood Rogue, like one flower amidst a sea of flowers that survived a fire while the others perished.
He should have known it would be abad time to try this, but at the moment it seemed perfect. They had won, so everyone was happy.
"Hey, Rogue, are you tired?"
"You would think, after what just happened, that I would be, but I am surprisingly energized. Must be the adrenaline."
"Are you sure you aren't tired? Cause you've been running through my mind all day."
Sting thought that it would get the message across, but Rogue whirled aroung and grabbed him by the shoulders.
"What did you say? I've been running through your mind? But that isn't possible, it must be the shadow! I thought that it stuck with only me! Quick we have to get you some help!"
Sting was suddenly grabbed by the hand and was starting to be pulled towards some of the other mages.
"Wait, Rogue! Stop!"
"Why? We need to get you help! This could be really bad."
"It isn't the shadow. Nevermind just forget what I said. There is no cause for concern."
Rogue sighed with relief. Then they both realized that Rogue was still holding Sting's hand.
His face went red as he quickly released Sting's hand. They both stood there awkwardly for a moment.
Finally, Sting spoke.
"Well, we better go find out how they are going to fix this mess. Come on, let's go," Sting said with a smile.
"Okay."
Well that could have gone so much better, Sting thought slightly irritated. Oh well, mabye next time. Looks like I got more reading to do.
Well, that was chapter one. If you liked it please like and comment. There are three chapters to this story. I will post the next chapter Friday, March 29, 2019. Well, see you next time!
