Chapter 2: New Members
Lucy stepped out of the shower, not bothering to get dressed, and walked into her bedroom with a towel wrapped around her body. She no longer had to pause and make sure no one was invading her room. That ship had sailed ever since Lisanna took her place in Natsu's team.
She sat on the edge of her bed, not certain whether to enjoy the silence, or feel lonely without the presence of her old teammates. She had to admit that she missed all the arguments, she missed Erza, Gray, and Happy going through her drawers of "unusual" underwear, and most of all, she missed Natsu; how he would always ending up sharing the bed with her and how he would attack her kitchen, leaving her fridge completely empty.
"Don't you look comfortable," Surprised, Lucy turned around, part of her hoping to find Natsu, but instead she saw Sting smirking at her as he entered through her window. She watched, stunned, as he made his way to her sofa and sat down. "Nice place you got."
"What are you doing here?" the stellar mage stood up, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at the door, "There's a door you know? What is it with dragon slayers going through windows?" The last question she muttered more to herself than to the blond dragon slayer.
Sting looked at her with a confused expression, an eyebrow raised. He shrugged off the last question and took a second look at the woman standing in front of him. Her arms were crossed, pushing up her already large breasts. He felt the blood rush to his face when he realized that she had nothing but a towel on. He coughed, "Do you always dress like that in your house? And your friend told me where you live."
Lucy, after processing his question in her mind, shrieked. She rummaged through her drawers and pulled out items of clothing before making her way into the bathroom once more. She shut the door and got dressed, "Why would she tell you where I live?" Her voice was slightly muffled by the door.
Sting couldn't help but smile, "Beats me. Besides I still don't know where Rogue and the others are, so I need a place to crash until then." He watched her walk out of the bathroom, now wearing a green, lacy, mini, nightgown. It was slightly see through, enough so he could tell she was wearing spandex shorts underneath. Once again, the stellar mage managed to make the tough, and considered to be dangerous, dragon slayer blush.
Lucy sighed, feeling a slight sense of déjà vu. She knew there was no point in arguing, he had already won the moment he stepped through her window. Groaning, she reached for one of her pillows and threw it at Sting, "You are sleeping on the couch got it?"
The dragon slayer watched as the stellar mage laid on her bed and pulled the blanket over her. He shifted his position and faced the white wall of the ceiling, somewhat thankful that Mirajane had given him Lucy's address. It was that morning that Mirajane had pushed the two blonds to get together. He recalled the memory of that day.
Mirajane's eyed sparkled with delight at the sight of Sting and Lucy together. She had so many options to choose from when it came to Lucy's "perfect" boyfriend, but not once did she ever think of Sting Eucliffe. She had to admit that he was the perfect choice. He, not only was a member of a rival guild, but he was also Natsu's top rival, right next to Gray. "Lucy, that's perfect! You and Sting together!" A wide smile formed on her lips.
Sting, having somewhat an understanding to what was going on, held Lucy tightly, his arm placed around her shoulder. Surprisingly, the stellar mage wasn't struggling, seemingly frozen in place at what the take-over mage had said. Her lips were slightly parted and her eyes grew wide. "Mira! I don't think it's such a good…"
"I agree. Don't you think we look great as a couple?" Sting cut off Lucy's remark, and winked at her. He seemed to do that quite often to the Fairy Tail mage just to see the heat rising to her cheeks. He didn't quite comprehend as to why, but he made it so his excuse was all for the amusement. "I wouldn't mind pretending to be your boyfriend."
Mirajane interjected, "You can't pretend. If you're going to be Lucy's boyfriend, why does it have to be pretend? After all, no one in Fairy Tail would want our dear Lucy Hearfilia's first boyfriend to be just pretend. Sting, ask Lucy to be your girlfriend right now."
The two blond mages looked at each other, both had slight tint of pink on their cheeks. Sting, who never really took orders from anyone, shockingly did as he was told. He held Lucy's hands in his, "Lucy Heartfilia, will you be my girlfriend?"
He more muttered the words, but it was enough to make the take-over mage squeal in delight, "Now say yes Lucy."
Lucy couldn't bring herself to say no, after watching Mirajane barely constrain the happiness she felt. She knew how guilty she would feel if she let her friend down, "Uhh…Yes?" Her answer came out more as a question.
Mirajane let out a small eeek and held onto Lucy's arm, "You two are officially together! Imagine what Natsu would do or say!" Both Sting and Lucy were still somewhat confused as to what just went on. If one were to be a bystander of the whole scene, it would look as if a wedding ceremony had just taken place.
Lucy looked down, her hands still held by Sting's hands. She didn't pull away, noticing the warmth emanating from them. Although she could feel the blush coming, the contact alone felt right to her. Noticing the look Mirajane gave her; she quickly pulled away and excused herself, saying that she had more errands to do.
Sting could only watch his new girlfriend walk away. "Sting-kun please take care of our Lucy," Mirajane gave him a genuine smile. "You wouldn't want to have to face an entire guild if you hurt her, right?" Sting quickly nodded. This would be the first time he was truly afraid, being threatened by the she-devil of Fairy Tail.
Lucy woke up, the morning sun has yet to rise, but she felt…well…great. It would be the first time, after months, that she was finally able to sleep soundly. She smiled and decided that she might as well get up and go to the guild. To her surprise however, she felt a weight on her waist holding her down. She turned to her side only to meet the muscled torso of her boyfriend. Trying to hold back a scream, she looked up to find that he was awake, his eyes meeting hers, a smirk curling at his lips.
The idea of having a boyfriend was still new to her. She was still not used to having Sting as her boyfriend. Although they never even wanted it to happen, but the idea itself, especially with Sting, she couldn't deny that she didn't mind it at all. Immediately stopping her train of thought after realizing what just crossed her mind, Lucy tried to push him away. "What do you think you're doing? I told you to sleep on the couch!"
Sting shrugged, "It was uncomfortable, and besides, you didn't seem to mind at all that I slept next to you. You were holding on to me all night. You were even smiling," the smirked returned on his lips when she saw her blush. "Anyways," he continued, finally pulling away from her and getting up, "I'm going to go look for Rogue, Lector, and Frosh. It's okay if you miss me babe," With one last wink at her, he jumped out the window.
Lucy was blushing furiously. Her face resembled that of a ripe, red, tomato. Trying desperately to forget what just happened; she quickly washed her face, ate a quick breakfast and walked to the guild.
She entered through the large guild doors. There were unexpectedly quite a few guild members already drinking to their hearts' content, while others paced around the request board, looking for jobs. Momentarily forgetting what happened earlier, she noticed that Erza, Gray, Happy, Natsu, and Lisanna were gathered around a single table.
"Good morning Lucy!" Lucy turned to Mirajane, who was half yelling, and gave her the I-need-to-know-what-happened-last-night look. Sighing in defeat, she made her way to the bar.
"Yo Lucy," before reaching her destination, she turned to Gray, who had nothing but his boxers on.
Not surprised by his appearance Lucy greeted the ice-mage, "Morning Gray. Did you need something?" He motioned for her to walk to the table, which she did, trying hard to ignore the rose-haired dragon slayer, whose arm was currently holding onto Lisanna's waist.
"Just haven't seen you at all that much lately. We wondered what happened to you." Lucy wasn't sure whether to feel irritated or glad that they finally took notice of her.
"Yeah, where have you been Lucy?" Natsu's voice seems to strike a chord within Lucy, her anger building up inside her. She couldn't look him in the eyes; it just wasn't the same as before.
Thankfully, Mirajane managed to steal her away from the group before she could break down in front of them. "Lucy, come on. You can't possibly make me wait any longer. What happened?" she eagerly asked the Celestial spirit mage while dragging her to the bar.
Natsu's ears perked up at the tone of excitement of Mirajane's voice, "Lisanna, what's with your sister? She seems too excited about Lucy being here doesn't she?" He looked over to the two mages who were clearly gossiping about who knows what. It would be the first time in months that he had actually gotten a closer look at Lucy. Her hair was longer than it had been before, but there was something about her. Maybe it was the dark circles under her eyes that clearly shows lack of sleep, or maybe it was the way she moves around him. Still uncertain if she was avoiding him or not, but it was obvious she was distancing herself from the group. He really had no say in the matter; it was her decision after all.
"I don't really know. She's been like that ever since yesterday," Lisanna glanced at her sister, who was pulling Lucy to the bar. She couldn't help but feel envious that Mirajane seems a lot closer to Lucy than ever before.
Mirajane unintentionally forcefully pushed Lucy to sit down on a stool. Quickly making her way into the bar and grabbing a glass of iced orange juice, which she handed to the blond mage, she stood across from her, curiosity building up with each passing second, "Well?" It was clear that something did happen to Lucy and her new boyfriend, the girl was crimson red in the face.
"Now, now, Mirajane, was it? You could at least wait for me to get here before asking my girlfriend about what happened last night," a few things happened all at once the moment Sting, Rogue, Lector, and Frosh stepped inside the guild with Makarov. Lucy nearly passed out at the realization of the different interpretations of what Sting had meant, Mirajane's eyes shone brighter than a light ray hitting the surface of a diamond, Natsu, Gray, and all the males in the guild were on attack mode, and all the females were giving Lucy a penetrating and questioning look the moment Sting had spoken the word "girlfriend."
Before anyone could make a sudden move, Makarov cleared his throat, "Everyone, Sting, Rogue, Lector, and Frosh are now members of Fairy Tail. Do not, and I repeat, do not cause any trouble for them and welcome them with warm hospitality."
