Rolu Week - Meeting

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.

I walked around the empty streets of Crocus, after the dragon war, it was definitely getting close to midnight. I shivered as cold winds blew across, I wrapped my arms around my scantily clad body. Damn it. I heard the sound of running. Two thugs came and grabbed me. My mouth was clamped shut. Where was Loke when you needed him?

I struggled in vain, my belt was flung away and my skirt was threatening to fall. Tears pooled in the corner of my eyes, I tried to bite the man, but his hand just crushed my jaw. I felt useless. Completely useless. I couldn't do anything. I felt myself going limp. Poison.

Suddenly both of them fell to the floor. I glanced around, feeling even more scared than before.

"Hello?" I asked hesitantly, wrapping my arms around myself. A black cape was wrapped around me, loosely.

"Behind you." someone said, definitely a man. I spun around. "You okay?" I stared at him. Rogue Cheney. He had saved me? Why was he out here? My mouth went numb, words wouldn't come out. He lightly picked me up, bridal style. "I'll take that as a no."

"I'm fine..." I mumbled, but Rogue just kept carrying it. I knew I was enjoying this way too much. "You don't think I'm heavy?"

"You? You're not heavy, actually really light. Which is your guilds inn?" Rogue asked suddenly pausing.

"Honeybone. You don't have to carry me Cheney-san." I told him. "It's really okay."

He put me down on my feet, steadying me, putting his hands on my waist. I blushed. I looked up at Rogue and saw him looking away. I could detect a light blush on his face. "You steady?" he asked.

"Yeah." I said. He slowly removed his hands. I was about to fall to the floor but then he caught me and picked me up bridal style. Again. "You really aren't going to let me go are you?" I asked, then laughed as he cringed slightly.

"When you put it like that..." Rogue muttered. I looked at Rogue, his visible eye sparkling red, looking straight ahead. He had really gorgeous eyes, they burned with unlit passion. "Thanks?" Rogue said.

"What do you mean?" I asked curious.

"He had really gorgeous eyes, they burned with unlit passion?" Rogue recited to me.

"Did I say that out loud?" I blushed.

"Yeah..." Rogue trailed off.

"Well it's true." I said in my defence, then snuggling up to him. "You're so warm."

"I think the drugs they used are getting to you." Rogue said. Holding me just the slightest bit tighter.

"Say something nice about me!" I suddenly squealed. "Please. Please. Pleeeeeease."

"You smell really nice." Rogue said. "And you're extremely beautiful."

"You see, it's not that hard. Now can you smile?" I asked him.

"Um..." he muttered, not knowing what to do. I reached up and pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Say cheese. Please." I told Rogue.

"Cheese. Please." Rogue said, awkwardly.

"Was that hard?" I asked him.

"We've arrived. You steady?" Rogue asked me.

"Steady." I replied. As soon as I touched the ground, I fell. Rogue put me back on my feet.

"Aw thanks..." I replied. "What were you doing out here today anyways?"

"I was um..." Rogue mumbled, I peeped open my eyes, and saw Rogue who had a blush that would put Erza's hair to shame.

He replied, "I was following you."
