Hey, guys! This is my second story based on Fairy Tail manga/anime. "At your Fingertips" is actually a side story of "From Hell, with Love" ^^ Read both stories! Enjoy and don't forget to review! ^^


She was waiting at a round table in a coffee shop. She was about to finish her caffe-latte. Looking around after a familiar face she took a slim cigarette out of the green and black package and put it between her lips. Her right hand searched her pockets desperately. Her blue eyebrows got closer in frustration. She searched both of her pockets and nothing.

'What a shitty day, already..'

'Oh, come on, it's not that bad' a loud voice answered.

She raised her head, gently pushing a blue lock over her ear. Her green eyes got stuck on a tall, muscular blond. He was holding both hands on his back head. He grinned playfully while sitting down, next to her at the round table. His eyes searched the barista in the coffee shop.

'Excuse me!' he said to the innocent looking girl cosplay-ing an anime character. The girl rushed to their table. 'Can you bring me a latte macchiato?' the blond smiled seductively.

'Y-yes!' the barista stuttered, slightly blushing.

She was gone when the blue haired woman sighted and drank the last drop of the Caffe latte. She looked the blond male, in his eyes. He answered with a frown and started to act like a 5 year old kid.

'I didn't take it' he said.

'You did.. Where is it, Sting?' she replied bored to death.

'I DIDN'T TOOK IT!' he yelled, feeling a little guilty.

'It's here.. He gave it to me before he rushed over here..' a man with short dark hair said, sitting down on the third chair, right next to Sting. He put the lighter on the table and pushed it towards the blue haired woman, near the ashtray.

'Thanks, Rogue..' she sighted lighting a cigarette. She blew the smoke in Sting's face, making him cough like an ill person.

'Oh, shi-, are y- m-d?' he tried to said still coughing. 'I am more sensitive, and you know it. I hate the smoke!' Sting gritted his teeth. Then he looked in the opposite direction, feeling a little guilty for playing stupid pranks on her, but too proud to say it out loud.

She smiled, knowing what was going on in his head. She looked at Rogue and suddenly she wiped the smile on her face. The cosplay-girl which took Sting's order, came back with his latte macchiato, nervous as hell.

'Here you go, S-sir!' she placed the glass on the table, near Sting's left hand. He looked at her in an arrogant way, without even saying thanks. She took a step back, already scared.

'I'd like a Caramel Macchiato' Rogue said to break the awkward silence. 'Luz, do you want another cup?'

'I'd like a Caffe Mocha' the blue haired woman answered.

The barista nearly ran back to the bar.

'Look, they are the guys from Sabertooth..'

'That's a bunch of scumbags, I swear..'

'So arrogant, so cocky about everything..'

'Yeah, right?'

Rogue and Luz sighted at the same time while, in his mind, Sting was chocking to death everyone, who dared to say something about them and their guild.

'That's why we're so feared everywhere we'd go..' Luz said looking sad about it.

'We're feared and well respected. What do you want more, Luz?' Sting commented after a couple of seconds. 'Do you want to say you don't like this guild?' he asked raising an eyebrow.

'Knock it off, I'm not going to play your stupid games now' she said while squeezing the lighter.

'Oh, come oooon~' he tried to calm her. He lightly patted her head. 'You know I really care about your little blue head!' he smiled at her. She choked on the smoke and blushed in an instant. Rogue smiled at those two and tried to distract himself from it at the same time.

'Can you, please, stop saying so lightly things like that?' she said upset, after she could normally breathe again. Another barista brought their order this time. She took her cup and started blowing short, cold puffs in it.

Before Sting could say anything, two cats climbed on the table, each of them having a cupcake. The one wearing a pink frog-like suite with black spots jumped in Luz's arms, holding one cupcake.

'Look, Frosch got a cupcake! And Frosch wants to give half of it to you, Luz-chan!' the little cat said, nearly drooling over the goodies.

'Thank you, Frosch! You're the sweetest cat I ever met~' Luz said smiling, while the other cat sat on the table, chewing on it's cupcake.

'You know, I don't feel bad because I ain't sharing this with you..' the dark red cat said.

'I know, Lector' Luz patted him on the head, scratching his right ear. The cat started to purr in delight.

'So.. The Grand Magic Games..' Rogue whispered.

'Luz? You'll participate this year?' Sting asked out of curiosity. 'I didn't see you in the arena for two years. I think it's time for you to shine again, right?' he said with too much enthusiasm.

Luz smiled and shut her eyes. Two years ago, three years ago, four years ago.. She participated at the Grand Magic Games, being ranked in the first three mages. Always. But that implied so much things to do..

'Maybe I'll be your back up member.. But not an official one. Let Yukino try her best this year. I guess she'll do great' Luz said smiling at Rogue, totally ignoring Sting.

'Oh, come on!' Sting pouted, crossing his arms on his chest. He was balancing with his chair, avoiding Luz's and Rogue's eyes. He really was not happy with that. He wanted to see her in the arena again, so bad! Every year she participated she looked so happy.. And he really liked to see her happy.. For a strange reason, he thought. He unintentionally looked in her way and made eye contact for a second when she blew the smoke out. She lightly blushed and looked back at Frosch in an instant. The blond smiled still looking at her, while his arm was resting on the table, his cheek on his fist.

On the other side, Rogue saw all of this, Luz's sweet blushing and her childish reactions, Sting's confused, happy and fascinated, all at once, expression..
