Disclaimer: No, I don't own FT, but I do hope I will eventually release my own work. I'm a diehard romance fans, so all my work will be romance. I hope you will enjoy Wendy and Mest's story because I think they are a very cute couple. I do hope they will be canon. And by the way if I own FT I will make myself Gildartz'.
The S-Rank promotion exam had ended one week ago and Kana was the one who got promoted to be S-Rank. The event turned out to be messy because a mysterious man appeared and made trouble. But Wendy was relieved that everyone turned out fine and alive, pretty much. Mest had a deep scar in his lower abdomen from saving Wendy. But Wendy sure relieved that she had been there to heal the wounded Mest.
They grew very close from the event, and now Wendy pretty much realized that Mest needed her as much as she needed him. But how could she make him realize that? As far as it went on, Mest just considered Wendy as a little girl whom Mistgun trusted to him to take care and protect. Mest didn't see her as a female. Wendy had fell in love with him very much that it hurt to just think about him, but she didn't think Mest feel the same way about her.
Wendy walked to Mest's apartment in the town; she brought food and sake for him. Mest told Wendy that he was 22 years old, so sake was legal for him. Charle refused to accompany Wendy to Mest's apartment because she promised to help Lucy about something, but it didn't matter because it was what Wendy had wanted anyway. She wanted to be alone with Mest.
Wendy knocked at Mest's door. Mest opened the door and Wendy nearly fainted to see the handsome man standing at the doorway, half naked. His hair was a little messy, not like his usual hair, and his chin turned bluish from not shaving in a few days. Right after the promotion exam Mest had gone away somewhere and he just got back to Magnolia town.
Mest eyed the small witch in silence. He stood lazily, half leaned to the door. Mest was fully aware that his naked top-half gave a weird sensation to poor Wendy. He pushed himself to stay still and didn't say anything as Wendy turned red from her face to her beautiful neck. He liked it, because to him Wendy is very very cute.
"I-I was told that you are back in town," stuttered Wendy.
"Yes," answered Mest softly, in a tone that was most seductive.
"What happened to your voice?" Wendy asked naively. Mest almost burst to laughter; how she was so naïve and cute never ceased to amaze him.
"No, it's fine," Mest smiled. "I'm just a bit tired."
"Oh," Wendy seemed guilty. "Well, if I disturb you, then I'll be going. I just want to give you this." Wendy handed Mest the basket she was holding. She bowed her head so that she didn't have to see Mest's face.
"No, I don't mean that," said Mest. "I'm glad you come. Please come in."
Wendy raised her head and looked at Mest. He was undoubtedly extremely gorgeous. Mest gave way to Wendy to come inside his apartment. Wendy came in and she could smell Mest's scent all over the room. She felt overwhelmed by Mest's presence and her head felt very light.
"Are you okay, Wendy? Mest asked. "It seems like you got flu. Your face is very red." Mest touched Wendy's forehead, and that made her shivered like crazy.
"You are hot," said Mest, a little bewildered.
Mest's words made Wendy felt blurry. He did sound like he was trying to seduced her, but Wendy soon realized that her face did felt hot. She thought she was going to faint from Mest's touch.
"I'm fine," Wendy tried hard to speak normally. "I just want to give this to you, Mest. I think I'd better get going soon." Wendy felt she would do something embarrassing if she stayed any longer. It was best to go from there because obviously Mest's presence only could ruin her common sense so bad that she felt an urgent rush to hug and kissed Mest so badly, like her life would be sucked away from her body if she didn't do it.
Mest looked at Wendy and could feel her chaotic feeling. Like how a shark could sense blood from hundreds of yards, Mest could also tell that Wendy's uncomfortable feeling is because she got something for him. Mest knew from the moment he laid his eyes on Wendy that they were a perfect couple, perfect partner, as well as lover.
Their power completed each other as well as their presence. Mest was no romantic person, but when he saw Wendy for the first time, that was when Erza's group came back from the Oracion Seis mission and brought Wendy with them, he immediately knew that Wendy was his other half. His feeling for her was so hard that it made him felt ashamed as she was just a little girl. Mistgun had always spoken of her as his little sister whom he cared very much. Mest knew that Mistgun had tried to save Wendy alone when the whole Magnolia town was sucked into Edraz and made into lachryma.
Mest's feeling grew stronger as they became partner and joined the S-Rank exan together. Wendy saved him and he saved Wendy, and there was no mistaking that the girl had grown attached to him. Mest did not want Wendy mistook her feeling of togetherness as a team from love. That was why he left immediately after the exam. Mest knew it was easy for a girl, pure as she was, to mistook love from a simple attraction.
They grew close from the exam as they had to sleep together, hugged, to stay alive. Mest could have taken advantage and realize his own feeling to Wendy easily, but as an honorable man, or so he tried hard to be, he refused to took advantage and get Wendy's confused feeling. Mest wanted Wendy to realize fully what her feeling for him was, and he thought it was best for them to part temporarily.
He was happy that she missed him and came to see him as soon as his arriving back to the town. Mest walked towards Wendy. "Wendy, I can tell that you miss me," he said softly. It was no use to keep each other feeling hidden any longer. Both of them were on the verge of craziness from wanting each other, and it was best to show each other feelings and see what it will become of that.
Wendy was shocked, as anticipated. "Mest…" she stopped. She put one hand in front of her chest and turned her face, which was turning very red, to not see Mest.
"Yes, I know for sure that you miss me so much that you cannot sleep at night. You felt very miserable for not seeing me around and felt that you could no longer live without me, right?" Mest stood right in front of Wendy, and Wendy trembled so much from their closeness.
Mest touched Wendy's cheek very softly as he proceeded. "I know how you felt exactly, Wendy, because I felt it too."
