I know that this is WAY too late for the actual RoLu Week, but I wanted to try it anyway.
RoLu Week Day One- Meeting
Disclaimer- I do not own Fairy Tail
I woke up once again in the infirmary. No one was there, my team and others from my guild were there when I first woke up. My wounds from Minerva's attack were starting to heal, but my pride certainly didn't. I knew that I couldn't get back at Minerva in any way, for reasons. The first was that I would never want to purposely harm someone,that would be lowly and cruel. Secondly, one of the games rules was that you couldn't attack another guild's team without being disqualified. The third was that even if I wanted to get revenge on Minerva, I was just too weak. Just like how I was too weak to stop the attacks in the first place. I licked my dry, cracked lips, I had slept for at least a day and I haven't had water since I fell asleep. I didn't want one of my nurses to get me water, I wanted to do something for myself, for a change. I knew where to get the water, but actually getting it was the problem. I slowly moved back the covers, trying my best to ignore the throbbing. I slowly sat up, eye scrunched tight trying to keep in my whimpers. I lightly placed my feet on the ground, and tried to stand up. I started hyperventilating trying to breathe out the pain and dangerously swaying. I took one hesitant step forward, only to fall. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the hard impact of the floor, only it never came. I fell into something soft, someone has caught me. I cracked open my eyes only to see an astounding sight…
Rogue Cheney.
I squeaked in surprise, my eyes widening extremely. Why was Rogue here, a Saber of all people? I was still in his arms, I noticed. I tried to stop my rapidly flushing face. When you actually looked at Rogue, you notice how… nice looking he is. His messy looking yet soft black hair that covers almost one half of his face, his captivating crimson eyes that seriously seem endless, and just him in general. By now Rogue had lifted me into a somewhat standing position, his hands remained on my waist.
"I-I'm not trying to be rude or anything… but what are you doing here?" I stuttered, attempting to ignore the nice warmth of his hands coming through my clothing. I looked down at his hands, Rogue seemed to notice the slight eye movement and he immediately withdrew his hands. Though his face kept the same expressionless look, you could see a slight blush on his face. I leaned against the nearest closest object to support me, which was a nightstand
"I, uh, wanted to see if you were healed and I wanted to," Rogue voice dropped slightly, "apologize for my guilds behavior." Why did he want to apologize, I know it was really heartless and cruel what Minerva did, but Rogue didn't do anything wrong.
"Why?" I tilted my head slightly to the side, confusion written on my face.
"I didn't enjoy what Minerva during the Naval Battle to you. I don't agree with Sabertooth's sadistic actions. I just thought that I should apologize…" He tried not to look directly into my eyes as his blush deepened until I could clearly see it.
"Rogue-san, you have nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong, you didn't purposely harm me for amusement. It's totally fine, I'm not even in that much pain anyway. Nothing you should worry about." I attempted a grim smile, lying through my teeth about the pain comment. Rogue's eyes narrowed slightly at the last comment.
"You're lying."
"W-What? No I'm not, it's true that you have nothing to apologize for."
"I talking about your pain. It very obvious." Rogue gestured to me. I narrowed my eyes to match his.
"Prove it."
"Well, the way you are leaning on that night stand like your life depends on it. You right hand is tightly gripping onto it while your left hand is tightly clenched in pain at your side. Your lips are pinched together, and you're very tense. Your posture betrays you, Lucy-san." Damn, how could he be that perceptive and observant? Natsu never noticed things like those. Not only that, but this conversation is the most I've heard him speak, ever. He doesn't talk much at all. I giggle, slightly.
"Well you caught me." I said.
"You should get back to bed, you need to rest, Lucy-san." Rogue advised.
"Just call me Lucy, please, no honorifics."
"Only if you call me Rogue."
"Okay, Rogue." I saw a slight lift in the corners of Rogue's mouth, before he pulled them back down. But I saw it, and it convinced my for sure that Rogue isn't an emotionless person. He's just very… reserved and shy. "Well, bye Rogue. Thank you for your concern. It was nice talking to you." I smiled brightly at him and turned around to prepare to get back to the bed that was only a step away. I could no longer feel Rogue's presence in the room. I leaned heavily on the counter and slowly moved along it. I eventually made it to the end of the nightstand and at the side of the bed. I gently lowered myself onto the bed, hissing. I pulled the covers up to my chin and closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to take me.
"Rogue…" I whispered with a small smile before falling asleep.
Unbeknownst to me, Rogue had merged with the shadows. He had been listening to me when I fell asleep, before returning to his team, a slight smile on his face.
