A/N: Since I was reading some NaLu fanfics right before Fairy Tail started airing again I stumbled upon the awesome pairing Sticy and, well fell in love with the pairing. Because I plan to write a lot in the holidays I have in July I'll be uploading the first chapter for this since it's already written. I put up a poll on my profile for what story I should focus on and aside from this story I have a MikuxKaito that's on going, another Sticy with the first chapter up and two HistuKarin ones. Summaries are on my proflie.
Anyway I hope you like the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail as much as I wanted to but it all belong to Mashima Hiro.
He was finally able to see her again, after three long years passed he was finally able to see her again. But she didn't seem to remember him, did those many years of being together mean nothing to her? Was it only him, who really treasured the time they spent together?
So he tried to talk to her: "Hi, remember me?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't know you." She said to him in a fierce tone and walked away.
Sting opened his eyes to find himself still on the plane, breathing very heavily. Thank god that was only a dream. He thought. What a terrible nightmare, though it might actually come true next week, once school started...
"Had a nightmare again, Sting?" Rogue, his twin brother, asked him.
"Yeah, this time, she didn't even remember me, haha..." I said still trying to calm down from that dream. "Then again, it could be true that she doesn't remember me."
"Oh, just stop with that will you? There's no way she would forget you, you do remember that promise, do you? And if she really did, just make her remember." Rogue told me, trying to calm me down as well.
"Yeah, I remember. Guess you're right, thanks Rogue. I think I'll try to sleep again, there's still at least another four hours until we arrive in Japan anyway." And I tried to sleep again.
Rogue saw his brother close his eyes again. It's not like he couldn't understand Sting having nightmares about meeting Lucy after so long. He knew his brother had a crush on Lucy since they were very small already. Sting even got worried that Rogue might also have a crush on the girl one time. Rogue then told him that he loved Lucy, but not like that, but as a childhood friend or even a sister, and that Sting didn't have to worry. And he really meant that, he saw Lucy as a sister and that was it.
Actually he was cheering for the two. He could tell that Lucy also had a crush on Sting, though he didn't tell Sting that. He wanted those two realize their feeling for each other by themselves or else it would be pointless.
Still, both of them were looking forward to seeing Lucy again.
Lucy just woke up and checked the time. Good, i still have enough time. She thought and made her way to the bathroom. There, she did her usual morning things, like brushing her teeth, washing her face, and doing her hair. She put it up as usual, tying up a small ponytail with a blue or pink ribbon hair tie, today she chose blue, on the right side of her head. She put on her usual clothing, as their school didn't have a school uniform.
Today, she would be starting high school and today was the day he had promised that they would finally meet each other again, after three long years. She went to the kitchen of the mansion her father owned to eat breakfast. After she was done she went out to find Natsu waiting for her to go to school.
She had been friends with Natsu ever since Sting and Rogue had gone to America. Not because she thought of him as replacement, but because she had closed herself up from others since the twins left and Natsu made her open up to him, since he also just joined the class after those two left. Actually after thinking about it, she never remembered ever telling Natsu about those two.
"Mornin' Lucy." He greeted me in his usual, cheerful voice and smile.
"Hey, Natsu." I smiled back at him.
"C'mon let's get going." he stretched out his right arm and walked towards the school.
The school was called Fiore and the elementary, middle, high school and university buildings were right next to each other. It was the best school on Earthland for magicians and even had this guild system. There were guilds there, kind of like clubs in other schools just that all the guilds were about the same thing. There was even an extra building for the guild headquarters. Each guild had a master and you could become an S-class mage if you trained hard enough. Always when the master graduated from the high school, or if the Master continued to go to school, university, people could vote in the last week before the new school year started which of the freshmens would be the next master for the guild that they were in, since the guild system was for the whole Fiore school. Then at the end of every year there would be the Grand Magic Games where eight guilds would have five members participating in.
Even though all the buildings were next to each other Lucy had never entered the high school building, it was even more amazing than the middle school building. Anyway she and Natsu went to the assembly hall. There were at least thousand people there but she still tried to see if I could spot Sting. Sadly, she couldn't. But, that doesn't say anything there are so many people here. She thought.
When everyone was there the headmaster in charge of the high school section, Makarov Dreyar went onto the stage.
After that boring entrance speech Lucy made herself out of the hall along with everyone else. Then about ten meters in front of her, she spotted it. There was only one person who would wear that kind of thing.
"Natsu you should go to our classroom first." she said and pushed her way through the crowd leaving Natsu dumbstruck behind.
When she got nearer she stretched out her hand to reach for it.
She grabbed it and said. "Sting!"
He turned his head around and brown eyes met blue eyes for the first time after three long years.
"Lucy!" He said and soon he had his brightest smile plastered over his face, for the first time in three years.
Once he turned his whole body Lucy gave him a huge hug, her left hand still on the gray fur of his blue vest, his arms wrapped themselves around her. Soon he let go and both of them took a good look at each other. Lucy noticed how tall he had gotten and the golden earring on his left ear and she smiled, he was wearing that the whole time, for three years long. He noticed at what she was staring at and blushed slightly.
But soon she noticed what he was smiling at, her blue ribbon hair tie and she blushed back at him.
Three years ago in the holidays:
"Just tell her already Sting." Rogue was pestering Sting about something.
"What's wrong Sting?" She asked curiously.
"I...I need-need to tell you something Lucy." He replied slowly.
"Good and sorry, but see ya at home Sting. Bye Lucy." Rogue left us.
"Umm... How should I say this? Lucy, remember... I told you that our family is a dragon slayer family?" He asked not sure how to start.
"Yeah, of course I remember that, you also have dragon slayer magic, so what's up with that?" Lucy said with a smile on her face.
"Well, in our family it's tradition to learn the dragon slayer magic Dragon Force after elementary school, and-and so Rogue and me have to go to America where Weisslogia and Skiadrum live... our families two dragons, and learn that for-for three whole years. I'm really sorry for not telling you right after I knew about it, I really wanted to but-but it's kind of hard to say." There, he had said it, the thing that's been bothering him the whole holidays long.
And her bright smile from just now was gone for a few second until she decided to put on a fake one, Sting knew she just didn't want the two of them to worry about her.
"I-it's okay that you didn't tell me earlier Sting, really. Just that three years... is quite long isn't it? Even if we know each other since we were only two years old." She said her face starting to be filled with sadness.
"I'm really really sorry Lucy." His face was filled with sadness, something that it was almost never filled with and that saddened Lucy even more.
He saw her pained face, stepped closer to her and wrapped his arm around her, something he'd normally do when something great just happened. But this time he did it to comfort her and he did it gently, because he knew she would be lonely without them as she didn't really have any other friends except for them, since her family background was a bit special.
After a while she pulled away and told him: "Hey, Sting why don't we all give each other something small so that we'll always think of each other during the three years?"
He gave me a gentle smile: "Great idea, Lucy. I'll have to tell Rogue as well. We're leaving the day after tomorrow though. Think you can think of something till then?"
"Doesn't matter, I'll make sure I'll find something for both of you." Lucy had her smile back on, it wasn't as bright as before but it was back. She was determined, she'd find something for both of them.
"Yeah, Rogue and me too. I think we should head back home now, though." He said, relieved Lucy didn't hate him for not telling her sooner.
"Bye, see you the day after tomorrow then, Sting!" And she made her way to her mansion waving her hand at him.
Two days later:
Unfortunately, two days already past. Lucy was already at the airport, earlier than the twins. As she thought, she found something great for them. After a few more minutes she saw both of them with their parents walking towards her.
"Hey, Lucy." The twins said together.
"Hey, guys!" She tried her best to be cheerful.
They walked together, silently until the gate.
"So did both of you find something for me?" She asked.
"Of course we did." Sting opened his backpack looked for something and took a small packet out: "Here, it's for you."
She took it and opened it. In it were a pink and a blue ribbon hair tie, she immediately took of her normal blue hair tie and put both of them on and hugged the twins tightly.
"I love it, thanks a lot!" She said.
"No problem, the blue one's from Sting and the pink one's from me. But isn't it a bit weird to use both on the same ponytail?" Rogue said.
"Yeah actually it is, I'll probably keep switching but... just for today... I'll wear both of them." She took two small packets out of her pocket and placed one in each of their hands. "This is for you guys."
They opened it and found one earring in each packet. It was golden and had a golden metal pendant attached to it. The two of course noticed the earring at once.
"Are you sure we can keep this? They're your favourite earrings afterall." Sting said after looking at it for a while.
"Yep, totally sure, it's not like I'm losing it. We're going to see each other at the start of high school again... right?" Lucy asked hoping for a good answer from one of the two.
"Yeah, I promise. I promise we'll see each other on the very first day of high school Lucy." Sting said as he took out his single earring on his left ear and put on Lucy's. Rogue did the same with his earring on his right ear.
After that they all hugged each other and Lucy even started crying. But after a while their parents said they had to go.
"Well, see you guys in three years. Good luck with your Dragon Force." Lucy wiped her tears away.
"Yeah, see you in three years Lucy." Despite the situation Sting tried to give her his brightest smile ever so that it would be the face she last saw from him.
"Thanks, and see you in three years Lucy." Rogue also tried to smile.
And so they left.
"You're still wearing it." Lucy and Sting said at the same time.
"Yeah, Rogue is also wearing his." Sting said.
"Where is Rogue by the way?" Lucy looked around.
"He went to the restroom and told me to go on ahead to the classroom. In which class are you by the way? I'm in class one."
You should tell him already Lucy: "Hey, me to! But umm...Sting uh... you know I sort of... well...I-I changed guilds... to-to Fairy Tail. Because both of you were gone and you know the last master of Sabertooth and... Fairy Tail had a lot of new members that years and I made some friends so-so I changed. I'm really so sorry, Sting!"
Sting was a bit shocked at that but said: "It's totally fine Lucy, I'm glad you made friends. And besides, Fairy Tail and Sabertooth have an Alliance together, right? They are also still the top guilds in Fiore. Don't worry about it."
"Thanks, so let's head to our classrooms before we're late." She pulled his arm and ran towards the classroom as not so many people were in the hall anymore.
Being dragged by her, it's been so long since she last did that. He looked at the girl and smiled to himself. He became a whole head taller than her, but that didn't matter. The fact that she was even prettier than she already was, which Sting had thought of as impossible, was what made him smile. He was also so happy that she remembered him and was even wearing the ribbon hair tie he gave her.
After three long years...
A/N: OMG I wrote SO much more than usual. Again I hope you like it. Feel free to follow, favourite and of course review and just tell me your opinion. And don't forget to vote on the poll. If you read my Miku x Kaito story I think you would notice that my writing got a lot better, at least I think so, well but I still think can be quite bad sometimes.
