Life Beyond Fairy Tail; A New Friend
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. It's Hiro Mashima who does :)
Isako and I were sitting at the bar talking, just to better know each other like fellow guild mates would. I had asked Roku for a glass of cinnamon milk tea, since it was already about 8 o'clock and the sun was beginning to set, turning the sky into a rainbow of different bright and dark colors. As Isako and I were chatting, I could feel a burning gaze on both of us.
"Someone looks rather gloomy." Isako commented, pointing to something from behind me. I turned around and noticed that Sting was cuddled into a corner, his legs pulled up to his chest and his face tucked behind the so only his blue, bored looking eyes stared at us, a gloomy, purple aura surrounding his body. Lector was trying his best to cheer his partner up, but nothing seemed to be working. I sweat dropped and sighed. I pushed away from the bar, my stool making a screechy sound against the dark wood floor of the guild.
" 'Scuse me a sec, Isako." I excused myself.
"Sure thing." he answered, a knowing smile glued to his freckled face. I walked over to Sting and stopped in front of him. He didn't seem to notice me, so I stooped down and waved a hand in front of his face.
"Hello? Anyone home?" I asked playfully. He remained in his gloomy composure, still not noticing me, by now, I was gleaming red with annoyance. The little Exceed that had been sitting there watching me the whole time, flew away knowing what was about to happen. I reached through Sting's messy blonde hair and pinched against his ear, pulling him upwards. His little human ball formation had quickly dissaperated and so he just hung there, limp like afinished hang-man drawing, his bored expression still glued to his face. Tick marks were starting to appear and I let go of Sting's ear so that he stood, slumping, his arms dangling. I reached up to his face and pinched his cheeks so that they started to turn red, his white teeth starting to show from his parted lips. He remained the same. Now I was starting to get frustrated. I reached over Sting's head and slung an arm around it, pulling him down closer to the side of my chest, so he was now in a headlock.
"Huh?" I heard him say. Perfect timing.
"Argh! Sting talk to me god dammit!" I yelled as I gave him my ultimate noogie headlock.
"Gah!" he screamed, fidgeting around, trying to break my headlock.
"Why wouldn't you say anything?!" I complained as I continued to noogie him.
"Je ne sais pas! I didn't even know you were talking to me! Lucy! Gah, stop it!" Sting yelled, trying his best to get me to stop. In the background, I could hear snickering and loud laughing coming from certain people. I stopped noogie-ing Sting, but Ikept him the headlock.
"Looks like you better pay attention to your girl, Sting. She might just be the one to sting you with complaints!" Orga yelled, before giving in to his held laughter. Sting trashed around in the headlock.
"Hey! You'll pay for that Orga!" he yelled at the lighting Mage. I let Sting out of the headlock and he immediately charged for Orga, tackling him to the floor. I walked back to the bar, where my cinnamon tea was waiting patiently, steam flowing from it. Isako looked at me and then to the cat fight happening behind us.
"Does this sort of thing happen often?" he asked, pointing at the boys, keeping his gaze on them. I took a sip of my tea and set the cup back down of the tray.
"As often as there are birds in the sky." I answered his question. Isako turned back around. He started to draw little imaginary doodles on the bar with his finger, while his unoccupied hand held up his head. I took another sip of my tea, devoldging in the sweet taste of it.
"Hey, Lucy?" Isako asked, trying to start up a conversation. I looked over at him, my mouth still on the teacup.
"Yeah?" I said, my voice sounding muffle-y.
"Um, well, if it's not too much trouble, I don't exactly have a place to stay... Is it okay if I hang around your place until I find a place of my own?" he asked sheepishly, a light blush covering his freckled cheeks. When he finished asking the daring question, the entire guild went silent. The two boys stopped fighting, and the encouragin cheers that had broken out stopped. I swear, you could've heard a pin drop in the guild hall right now. I set down the teacup and smiled.
"Sure!" I answered.
"EH?!" the entire guild yelled in shock.
"WHAT?!" Sting screeched. I turned to look at him.
"What? I can't show some hospitality to a new guild member?" I asked innocently. I could see Isako grinning like mad from the corner of my eye. I rolled my eyes and smiled. I turned back around to face the bar and I finished off the rest of my tea. I pushed away from the bar once again and started to walk towards the front of the guild.
"C'mon Isako. I'll show you my place." I said. He ran to catch up and then he walked beside me. The guild remained quiet. Suddenly, Sting was in front of Isako and I. He pointed a finger at me.
"Lucy! As your boyfriend I refuse to let you let this man into your home!" he yelled in a fatherly tone. I scoffed.
"Why not? You're not my dad Sting! I gave up on him years ago!" I demanded, trying my best to keep the last part to myself.
"Well because... Because..." he stammered.
"See? No reason. Now I'm going home and Isako's coming with me. C'est bien?" I said, finishing off with a little bit of French, just as Sting had done back when I had asked him why he wouldn't talk to me. Sting lifted a finger again, and opened his mouth to retaliate, but I glared at him. He put his finger down and closed his mouth, before he moved out of the way.
"Fine. But don't do anything to her Isako!" Sting commanded. Isako and I walked out of the guild together.
"He's really something isn't he?" Isako commented Ono Sting, looking over his shoulder to stare at the Dragon Slayer.
"Oh you don't even know the half of it..."
People, you have no idea how proud I am of myself. I've been writing nthing but chapter over 1000 words lately and it's made me sooo happy! And how lucky are you?! You people get two chapter in one week! That's pretty good for my lazy ass! Haha, well I hope you liked it! Can anyone guess who Isako really is? ;) I'll be surprised if someone actually gets it right! Someone had guessed Lisanna earlier, I don't remember who, sorry. For any Bleach fans out there, you should really check out my fanfic called That Dark Hole Called Love. It's an Ulquiorra X Orihme. I'm a dead hard UlquiHime fan! And IchiHime too! and the little bit of French that was in the fanfic today translates:
Je ne sais pas- I don't know, or I have no clue
C'est bein?- Meaning agreed, or okay.
