I miss you...

I sat in Lucy's empty room and I saw her bed, I slowly walked towards it and breathed in the scent.

strawberries and vanillas

I sat onto the bed roughly and held my hands together and I looked down.

Why did I let this happen...

I bit my bottom lip in grief and anger up to the point that I began to taste blood.

Why did I let her smile fade and her small hands slip away...

~flashback~

"Ne Sting,"Lucy said in an angelic voice as she slowly laid her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and pulled her in, "Yeah Luce?"

She shrugged my arm off and sat onto my lap, I gave her a confused look as I continued to stare into her mesmerizing brown orbs. "Since you never stopped running to find me then, will you ever stop?"

Before she could finished I pulled her face closer to mine and closed the gap between our lips. I kissed her fiercely, tongues fighting for dominance but with me winning of course.

"Mmft," she moaned.

Our lips parted leaving the both of us nearly breathless. She panted and looked up to meet my onyx eyes, I looked at her sternly, "No matter what, I will never stop running until I finally touch your hand."

I held her hand firmly and grinned. She smiled softly and hugged me, "Arigatou Sting. I love you."

I hugged her back and buried my face into her neck, "I love you too."

~end of flashback~

Why did I let our damn former Master take her away from me!? Damn that Jimema! DAMN IT ALL! I clenched my fists bitterly up to the point that my knuckles were white. I gritted my teeth and continued to bite my bottom lip.

Damn it...Damn it...Damn it why did it have to happen...

I felt something roll down from my eye and fall onto my arm, I looked closely and saw what I never thought I would be doing, "Tears?"

I let out a weak laugh as I covered my eyes with my hands and continued to let the water fall down from my eyes, "You can really do wonders Lucy..."

I sat alone in her room with nothing but her scent and the salty scent of my tears.

I miss you...
