Habits

I entered quietly our room, with Frosh following me softly step by step. I already knew it was really late, so I tried my best not to wake up Sting, who right now was snoring loudly from his bed. Well, actually whatever I would do right now, walk into the room singing loudly or sneak like I'm doing right now, I thought nothing except someone invading the hotel would be able wake up my friend. Sting always had strong sleep, but as well really good 'danger-detection'.

"Fro is sleepy…" I heard my little partner whispering with complain somewhere near my ankle.

I sighed. It was happening every single time.

"I told you to stay here with Sting, Frosh…" I murmured, almost like every day. "It is not like Sting will eat you…"

I actually hated daytime and taking some walk at the evening was some kind of habit for me now. In our city, where Sabertooth had its building, at our missions, on our vacations… I couldn't just go sleep peacefully without taking a long walk, even if rained, even if snowed. I had to. So, almost like every night I said "goodnight' to my friend, Sting, who was ready to go sleep and I left the hotel we were staying now. And like every time Frosh loyally went with me.

Completely unnecessary. I didn't want Frosh to have so tiring evenings. And especially I didn't want Frosh to be put into danger, what happened a few times already. Nighttime was the time of dark guilds and not all of them knew the face of Shadow Dragon Slayer.

"But Fro doesn't like when Rogue is away…" my little Exceed answered.

I smiled to her, taking off my coat.

Sting snored really loud, just after murmuring something under his nose. I looked at my sleeping friend and yes, someone could even call it slight chuckle, coming out of my mouth.

I never saw anyone sleeping like my teammate. He was laying almost crosswise the bed, with the head at the edge. The features of the face didn't resemble this a little cocky Dragon Slayer Sting was during the days. Blonde hairs in the mess showed me really innocent boy, sleeping peacefully, as if he never even understand the meaning of the 'nightmares'. His legs and arms were entangled in strange positions with the blanket, covering only half of his torso, exposing rest of the naked body to the soft light of the half-moon.

I sighed, and to my embarrassment felt my cheeks becoming a little warmer. I would never get used to Sting's habit of sleeping naked.

"Rogue…" I heard the quiet voice of Frosh that flew up and rested on my shoulder. "You are again looking at Sting with a strange face…"

I again smiled to her.

Well, I could tell that watching sleeping Sting… was my second habit…

It couldn't be called strange. Just… Sting looked really innocent like that. Innocent in a way he would never be fully awake. Sometimes, in our apartment I was even slipping into his room at night just to look at him for a while. During the night… he seemed to be completely different person.

"It is time to sleep, Frosh," I murmured to my Exceed and put her to the bed just before going there myself.


AN: Another chapter from Rogue's POV. It was a little easier than with the first one, but still a little difficult. And i make him a little pervy this time! T.T

Okay, I decided that Frosh should be female. Not because of her ping, frog's suit and definitely too big lashes for a male, but just because I think it would make her AND Rogue way cutier with each other. just imagine this. Rogue taking care of little, sweet, cute Frosh.

And I just noticed like NOW, but I can't change this, because it is really important point of this chapter. I just made Frosh to look at naked Sting. Sorry, Frosh...
