Don't leave unless you know the price

by angel ninja cat

Set after Lector's "death" and it's only a little oneshot between Sting and Natsu so not much romance but it's in the atmosphere anyway Sting's ready to leave life and join Lector as he believes he really is dead and perhaps Minerva is a dirty lying scumbag. Can Natsu stop this? Like say it's very short but enjoy anyway. Sting X Natsu

Don't leave unless you know the price:

Sting's POV:

I stood silently on the bridge that lead over to river and let the tears fall.

He's gone and I can't do anything about it

Maybe if I go then I'll meet him again.

Nobody gonna miss me I mean I feel like Rogue just pity's me for having no friends or whatever I haven't got.

I stood on the ledge and took a deep breath.

We'll meet again. Lector. Just wait for me.

I was ready to face my death when I heard a voice calling out.

"Already?"

Natsu.

"What?" I said turning round and climbing off.

"I mean you've just lost him and you've already decided to leave" He said and stood in front of me.

"I know I can meet him again if I go"

He put his hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eyes.

"Don't leave unless you know the price Sting" He said, his voice fully serious.

"What?" I asked curious.

"There are so many people who care about you Sting I know it"

"I highly doubt it" I looked down.

"I can tell Rogue does and Yukino and my whole guild do, including me"

"You and your guild care?"

People cared.

"Yes, I mean losing somebody that close is hard and we care about all who have a good heart and we forgive Sting maybe you need to forgive yourself"

"I need to forgive myself?"

"I think deep down you blame yourself for not being there to save him but in actual fact you couldn't due to your severe injuries"

"Your right"

He was right and I needed to stay for the people who still cared enough to cry for me.

"Oh and one last person Sting"

"Who else could possibly be here that cares"

"Weisslogia"

"What!?"

Was he trying to upset me?

"Weisslogia is gone Natsu and you know it"

"No he's still here Sting" and put one hand on my heart.

"He lives on in your very heart Sting like I know Igneel is with me and when all seems lost look to him and search for his voice Sting and he'll guide you to victory" He said.

"Thank you Natsu. For everything. Really" I said and started walking back to my friends.

"Don't forget to search for him in your heart because I know Lectors in there too"

And I stopped to flash him a smile, rare smile.

He was truly a great friend.
