So I hadn't really been writing for this story because I had ideas, just not any good ones... But now I finally have come up a relitively well thought out next chapter! I hope you enjoy this! Don't be shy and tell me what you think! :)
As Romeo rushed down the dirt clad stairs, he worridly thought to himself. "What if I already missed her? What if she goes into the arena thinking I'm some jerk?" He could'nt stand the thought of Wendy hating him. Although he had admitted this to himself, he wasn't entirely sure why he felt like this. "You're not gonna miss her. She'll wait for you or something. And why would she think you're a jerk? I mean, you're pretty cool." Natsu declared. At first, Romeo swelled up with happiness when he heard Natsu say he was cool. Then he realized he had said his thoughts out loud.
"I... uh... I didn't mean to say that out loud..." he mumbled embarressed. They finally reached the end of the stairs and Nastu started, "Hay ya know, I don't mean to say half the things I say out loud." Romeo shrugged his shoulders slightly and nodded his head his head in agreement. Suddenly, a lot of the weird things Natsu-nii says make sense. He thought, satisfyied. They walked past some small glass windows and finally came to an large wooden door with a medical symbol engraved into it. Romeo walked up to it and knocked. "You can wait a minute, Wendy WILL be out eventually." Came Porlyusica's rough voice. Romeo wondered how she knew he wanted to see Wendy. "Uh, Romeo, I think I'm gonna go. But if Wendy IS mad at you, don't worry about it! Lucy gets mad at me all the time!" Natsu finished as he bounded down the hall.
Romeo was wondering how exactly THAT was supposed to make him feel better. He started to get bored of just waiting, so he turned around to look out the window. He watched as the anouncers and referees prepared the arena for Wendy's match. After the arena had been about halfway cleaned, he heard the heavy oak door starting to creak open. He turned around ready to rush into the infirmary, but was delayed when he crashed into a certain blunette. "Ahh!" She squeaked out in her tiny voice. "I'm so sorry! I- oh, Romeo-kun? H-hello." Romeo wasn't sure what to do. He had a number of issues he was battiling in his brain. 1) For some reason, SHE had just apologized to HIM. 2) She looked... adorable. Umm, yeah he just thought that. And 3) She also looked... scared. Of him.
Suddenly Romeo thought back to yesterday. He was sitting on the bed in his hotel room, the uncomfortable springs digging into his thighs. Then, Wendy had walked in. He knew they were sleeping in the same room so it wasn't a big deal or anything. Until she started talking to him. She asked if he was okay. He'd then proceded to yell that he was fine and she needed to stop sticking her nose where it didn't belong and get a life of her own. Next, she ran out of the room crying that she was sorry. Yeah. So... he hadn't been the nicest guy. Romeo was genuinely surprised that Carla hadn't slugged him. Really, he wasn't okay, not at all. He just didn't want her knowing that. And just like that, he was back in the present. "Wendy I- Okay look, I'm sorry about what I said yesterdsy that wasn't fair so I understand if you hate me now, but I've been looking all over for you and I really just wanted to wish you good luck in your match." By the time he finished, he was so out of breath he could hardly stand.
Romeo and Wendy just stood there awkwardly. He searched her eyes for any kind of resentment but instead found some sort of...warmth. What she did next totally caught him off guard. Wendy smiled big, threw her arms around him and pulled him in for a hug. "Thanks Romeo. And no, I don't hate you." She smiled again and ran off down the hall with even more energy then Natsu. If that was even possible. Romeo felt a little stunned. He walked up to the window again and saw all of Fairy Tail, all his friends, waiting for him in the bleachers. But maybe the feeling he had around Wendy meant... he wanted her as more than a friend?
Happy: He liiiiiikkkkeeeessssss her! Happy, I actually agree with you! :) So this was a little (maybe a lot) short, sorry! I kinda think I made Romeo sound super cheesy and dumb. Sorry. I feel like Areis. Anyway, if you are wondering what Romeo was upset about you're just gonna have to stay tuned! :) sorry, again, but I forgot to do this at the top sooo Fairy Tail is NOT mine, I own nothing but the idea for this story! Alright byyyyeeeee! ^_^
