Chapter 4: Rogue the Cutie

Sting peered over at the kids he hung out with his first day of high school at his new school junior year his step brother and step sister with him. Yukino and Natsu. They went quiet.

"That's Rogue Cheney. Do not piss him off. He mane you. He's the most badass person in this school other than his siblings Minerva and Gajeel," one whispered as Rogue passed.

His red eyes glanced over at them coldly at their cowering and whispering. His eyes quickly sized Natsu up then Yukino. They landed on Sting last. Sting held his gaze firmly. He flipped him off suddenly.

"OI," Sting roared.

Rogue stuck the tip of his tongue out in response as he went around the corner with a wink.

"He just harassed you," Yukino laughed.

"Was pretty cute," Natsu said amused. "Hey where are you going?"

"What does it look like," Sting said bluntly. "I'm going to tell cutie what I think of his middle finger and sticking his tongue out at me. You two go on without me," he said disappearing after him.

They laughed and assured the students Sting wouldn't get killed. Sting followed him into the bathroom. Rogue peered back.

"What you stare like a weirdo then you follow me? You some type of freak or something," he sassed propping a hip on the sink arms crossing.

"Maybe I just think you're cute," Sting smirked standing in front of him and copying his stance. Rogue snorted then tilted his head when Sting advanced.

"What," he demanded hands on his chest pushing at him. Sting kissed his forehead gently.

"I think you're cute Rogue," he said grin stretching at his startled blushing face, his hand on his forehead.

"STUPID," he roared punching him in the gut and running out as he groaned and laughed on the floor at his flustered reaction.

Rogue hid in the hall closet as his face continued burning. He hid it into knees and stayed like that awhile. He got up after a while and opened the door walking out of it. He blinked startled at the face in front of his. He blinked back surprised his siblings by him looking between the two. Rogue felt his face heat up again. He whacked his head hard and sped down the hall. Sting cackled clutching his head.

"Sting what did you do to him," Natsu accused.

"Oh, nothing really," he laughed as they continued walking.

Later before school ended Sting had a free period so wandered the halls and saw a figure carrying a stack of text books piled so high it was even above their head. He sped walked to the figure as books were wobbling. He stole half from them.

"There you go much better now right," he asked smiling charmingly then blinked down at the familiar face. "Hhheehh," he hummed smirking wildly at him.

"Give them back and go away," he spat blush forming on his face.

"No way I'm helping," he smirked. "So where to?"

"The office," he scowled.

"Right," he smiled walking his pace amused at his blushing.

He laughed when Rogue kicked him after and zoomed off. He unpacked with the others once home. He walked out on his balcony for some air and it was across from his neighbor's balcony. He blinked.

"Heehh," he smirked propping on the railing, head in his hand amused. His rails were only three feet away from the other rails. Rogue peered up from his book hearing him then stared at him startled.

"Gajeel the creep pervert from school is being weird again," he called. His brother walked to his own balcony not far from theirs.

"So, you're the one going around calling him cute and kissed his forehead without permission," he seethed stabbing a finger at him. "I already beat the shit out of your brother you want to be next," he barked.

"People were saying you two tied," Rogue blinked.

"Rogue. Shush," he said pointing at the confused raven with an innocent aura around him.

"MIN-MIN THERE IS A PERVERT OUT ON HIS BALCONY AND GAJEEL SHUSHED ME," he cried.

She walked out onto her balcony as they hung their mouths open. He was clearly cute and liked telling on people.

"GAJEEL DON'T SHUSH ROGUE! PERVERT IF YOU TOUCH HIM AGAIN YOU DIE," she yelled sternly. "Rogue. Let's go make cookies."

"Kay," he said getting up and leaving.

"He's adorable," Sting deadpanned.

"I know. Stay away. I have a brat to go tickle for tattling," he said walking away.

He laughed going back into his room. A couple of hours later he saw Rogue back on his balcony watching stars gentle beautiful look on his face. He continued to watch the cutie watch the stars drawing out their images with a finger now and then. Rogue really was someone he wanted to get to know better.

The next day at school he opened his locker and pink glitter covered him. People stayed silent as he blinked startled. Adorable wild laughter rang out.

"Minerva you made him look like a gay pride parade float," Rogue cheered.

"Well well looks like I'll have to punish someone," Sting said darkly making Rogue stepped in front of his sister protectively. He was scowling cutely and ready to attack. "I meant you cutie," he grinned savagely and tossed him over his shoulder like a sack and walked along laughing at the fists pounding his back.

Rogue whined heart thundering pinned to the wall getting told how utterly adorable he was repeatedly as torture. He was embarrassed by that kind of talk. He didn't want to be adorable. A massive blush stayed on his face and Sting laughed at the end kissing his forehead gently.

"Cutie," he laughed walking out.

Minerva was at the bathroom door outside shoulders shaking with laughter. He winked at her and left. She laughed into her hand. Sting was something else just aiming to make her little brother be all cute and blushy. He wasn't a threat to him and that made her feel better. Rogue was the cutest thing ever and not many people realized it. He kept a tough exterior most of the time but really, he was as soft and adorable as a kitten. She enjoyed her little adorable mess of a brother and wouldn't trade him for the world. He came out after a few minutes.

"So, what did he do?'

"Stupid," he cried and ran cutely flustered making her laugh at his adorableness.

'I'LL KILL STING! NO WAY IS HE EVER EMBARRASSING ME LIKE THIS AGAIN,' he raged in his head as he ran through the hall. 'I'LL PRANK HIM SO BAD HE'LL WANT TO MOVE AWAY,' he plotted smiling evilly. 'THEN THE IDIOT WILL NEVER CALL ME CUTE OF KISS MY FOREHEAD AGAIN! HE'LL AVOID ME LIKE A PLAGUE!"

'But is that really what you want,' a little voice asked in his mind.

He fumbled a moment then shook his head dismissing the thought and went to go draw out his plan.
