(Mary's POV)
After a while, she left with her rent money and continued with her journey. As for me, I went home back in the inn. There inside the lobby, Sugarboy is waiting.
"Where were you? My babies and I waited for you all night." He ended the sentence with a melody and posed like a rockstar.
"Things happen." I walk pass him not wanting to start a conversation. People are looking at us with pity and entertainment.
"Looks like he got dumped."
"They're a cute couple."
"Isn't the guy, gay?"
All I hear are criticisms about us. They can think what they want.
"Are those things related to Lucy Heartfillia?" I flinched at the sound of her name. Silence filled the air.
"Is he having an affair?"
"Lucy? Isn't she from Fairy Tail?"
"So he isn't gay?"
The silence was quickly replaced by rumors.
I grabbed and dashed towards the hallway. When we reached our room, I took out my weapon and stopped his movements.
"How did you know?"
"Aren't we a little angry? More like embarrassed."
I didn't notice my face was bright red. "Shut up!" I lift him up from the floor.
"Baby! That's it, lift me higher!" Is he an M? I just can't understand what's happening in his head.
"What's wrong with you?" I released him from my spell and sat down on the bed.
"I saw you come in with Lucy Hearfillia. I'm guessing she invited you."
"I tried to turn her down, but she insisted."
"And you liked it, didn't you?" My face, once again, is bright red. "Bingo."
"Tsk. Shut up." I lay down and covered myself with the sheets.
"Come on. Tell me what happened." He sat down on the other bed and waited for my answer.
I peeked outside the sheets and try to get away but he doesn't look like he's moving. "Fine." I threw the sheets and let out a sigh.
I told him what happened in the ruins and her room, but I left out the details on what happened inside the bathroom.
"You almost killed him you know."
"Well that was my plan all along."
"Cold hearted as always, but you have a soft side. For 'her'." He looked at me with darting eyes.
When someone says something like that you get embarrassed, but at the same time you can help but think they're right.
"Also," I snapped out from my thoughts. "Five years ago, before we left for our mission, I saw you come out of the guild house and Lucy Heartfillia followed you."
"So?"
"What did you tell her?" Silence filled the room. I stood up and walked towards the balcony. Outside, the wind brushed softly on my face. Sugarboy followed.
"Hey, Sugarboy. Do you think it's wrong to feel this way?" I can hear my heart beating.
"When I ask people that question, they tell me it's not right because it's awkward to look at, it's against the law. Some say 'They will never be together, so why bother?'." Those words hit me like an arrow. "But, have you seen me sitting in a corner crying my eyes out? If you ask me those things are crap! Why would you let other people's opinion bring you down? If you love someone, you'll do anything to make them yours. And if they try to intervene, tell them this…" He pointed his mic at me. "At least I'm fighting for what I believe."
He looks like he's enjoying. I'm glad I have a friend like him.
"Thank you. I feel so much better, opening up something like this."
"No problem. Now, I'll ask you… When will you make your move?"
I thought the embarrassing moments were over. "I don't know. It's my first time talking to her like that." I rest my head on the railings and hide my face.
"Well it's time to resume our mission. But if you want her to become yours, make an effort."
"How!?" I shouted, unable to hold my emotions. "I don't know what to do, where to start or when to do it!"
"Relax, you don't have to pressure yourself." He held my shoulders and looked at me in the eye. "All you need is your feelings for her." He smiled then walked away.
"I'll be going now. I'll take care of the check out and everything. The rest is up to you."
The door closed and I was left alone. The wind continues to blow softly. This whole time, I can't take my mind off her. I want to see her again.
A/N: Sorry for the huge delay. I admit, I was lazy. I watched a lot of anime and read doujins in the process.
Before the school year ended, I had to ask my classmates on what they think about same sex couples, since I approve to same sex things. I receive a lot of negative answers, which helped me a lot, but one answer that made me laugh and rage at the same time is "Why not try friends with benefits?". So, thanks guys! Even though you're not reading this.
I don't think I'll be posting for a while since my course requires a lot of effort and less sleep but I'll try to write more stories. Well, till next time!
P.S.: Potato Girl is mai waifu~
