What is she thinking? She just finished telling Minerva, Yukino and I that she liked Gajeel still. Lucy thought.

Lucy glanced over at Sting and saw that he was equally as shocked as she was.

Rogue and Levy started walking away, from where they once sat. The blonde 'spies' discreetly followed them.

"They're heading back to the apartment?" Lucy was about ready to intervene, but Sting stopped her.

"Blondie, let them be. I'm sure they are just figuring out how they feel about each other. We should do that too." He wiggled a brow.

Lucy did not hesitate to smack him in his sensitive area, "You wish, don't you? Sorry pal, there's nothing to figure out between us, you're one of my best friends."

The blue and black haired mages walked into the apartment.

Not long after, the two blondes pressed their ears to the door.

They heard nothing but thumping.

"Oh man," Lucy whispered, "Why is Levy doing that? Let alone before my first time." She sighed.

Then the door opened, "You guys can come in now." Rogue said.

"What? Levy?" Lucy questioned.

"We knew you were following us, Lu. We started banging on the walls to give you the wrong idea." She winked.

"What about the kiss?"

"Well that was real, but we only did that so we could clear our feelings for each other. And we did. We found out that there are no true feelings, only those of friendship."

Sighing in relief, Lucy walked into her kitchen to grab a drink, while also dragging Sting too.

"Why did you drag me out here too?"

"Dunno. To give them time alone, since we technically barged in. Do you want a drink?"

"I'll have a hot chocolate, it's pretty chilly in here."

"I agree." She said while grabbing two packages of hot chocolate.

Lucy also pulled out a board game. The two played checkers for hours on end, Sting losing every single game.

Levy walked into the kitchen and asked, "Do you guys want to watch a movie?"

"I'd like that." Sting smiled.

The four mages walked over to the four seater couch. Rogue was looking at Levy's movie collection.

"I see you're a big horror fan." Rogue said to Levy.

"Very much so. I grew up always watching horror movies by myself at Fairy Hills."

"I think we should watch this one." Rogue said while holding up a horror dvd. He smirked at Sting, knowing he hates horror movies.

"I'll go make popcorn," Lucy said.

"I'll help you." Levy added.

After getting all comfy with the boys, blankets over all four of them, they put the movie on.

Lucy and Levy sat in the middle, with Rogue beside Levy, and Sting beside Lucy.

Sting practically jumped into Lucy's lap. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it up to his face. His head leaning on Lucy's shoulder.

Lucy couldn't help but laugh at him.

"What are you laughing at?" Sting asked.

"Just you being scared. For someone who acts all tough and mighty, and is a dragon slayer for that matter, you sure are a scaredy cat at heart."

"You're right, this is backwards. Lean your head on my shoulder." He demanded.

Lucy did so with no further comment. Even though Sting kept jumping at scary parts.

At the end of the movie, it was already 1AM. Lucy wanted them to stay longer, so she was going to try to convince them to stay the night.

"Why don't you guys sleep over? It's late and a far walk to your guys' place." Lucy stated.

"Blondie, it's a 5 minute walk. If you wanted us to sleep over, you should have just asked us." He winked.

Lucy started rolled her eyes, "Do you guys want to stay the night?"

The boys nodded excitedly.

But the real question is, where are they going to sleep?

"Where are we going to sleep?" Rogue asked.

Levy, panicking, looked over at Lucy for help.

"You guys can sleep on the pull out couch." Lucy smiled mischievously.

"I have to sleep with him?" Sting said, poking Rogue.

"Yes, now be a big boy, and sleep with your best friend." Lucy winked.

After everyone was settled in, the lights turned off, and everyone slowly drifted off to sleep.

Except for Levy. She was wide awake, thinking about Gajeel. She had remembered her last moment with him:

Levy was sitting outside of the guild reading her book.

Gajeel creeped up from behind her and snagged her book from her grasp.

"Give it back you meanie!" Levy jumped but could not reach it.

She then began to playfully smack his chest until he caved in.

"Hey Levy," he began, "Do you think we could go see a movie sometime?"

"I'd like that!" She smiled and hugged him in excitement. It caught him off guard, but he was quick to return her embrace.

It was already 3AM and she still could not sleep. She decided she was going to go for a walk.

She got up, not bothering to change into normal clothes, because, well, it was 3AM. Who would be outside?

She tip toed out of her bedroom, and into the living room, trying immensely not to wake up the two boys.

She was almost at the front door when she heard someone get up. It was Rogue.

"Why are you awake at this hour?" He asked.

"I couldn't sleep, so I'm going for a walk." She said.

"Do you mind if I come?" He asked politely.

"Of course not. The company would be lovely." She smiled.

They found themselves walking the lonely, empty road in silence.

They had found themselves in the forest, sitting on a log.

"Rogue, I'm going to be blunt right now. I am so happy you and I met on the train."

"You can't see me right now, but I'm smiling like an idiot." Rogue said.

"Solid Script: Light!" Levy casted, "Now I can."

Meanwhile back at the apartment, Sting woke up to go to the bathroom. Just after he woke up, Lucy did as well. She needed to use the bathroom too.

Thinking it was Levy in the bathroom, she planned to scare her.

When Sting opened the door, Lucy jumped out and screamed, "BOO!"

A shirtless Sting turned around and pinned her to the wall, thinking it was an intruder. When he saw her face in the moonlight, he loosened his grip a little bit, but still kept her pinned.

"I thought you were Levy!" Lucy playfully said.

"So funny, blondie."

He was looking down at her.

Her brown eyes were in correspondence with the moon.

He hugged her tightly. He appreciated everything about her. Lucy barely had any time to respond when Loki came out of nowhere hit Sting with his Regulus Impact and he went flying.

"Just doing you a favour, Luce, don't get caught up with a loser like him." Loki said.

"Why you!" Sting said and ran after him.

Before he could reach Loki, he vanished.

"Sting! Are you okay?" Lucy asked worriedly.

"Yeah I'm fine. Of all your spirits, I dislike Leo the most." Sting pouted.

"He's just protective of me, y'know? If you got to know him and vice versa, you guys could become good friends." Lucy said.

"We should head to bed." Lucy yawned.

"I agree." Sting said, pulling Lucy into a very tight hug once again.

They stayed like that for five minutes. She felt so safe in his arms. She hugged him back as tight as she could.

"I'm happy I met you, Sting." Lucy said, and then headed off to her room.

Sting went back to the pull out couch, and stayed awake thinking about what had just happened with Lucy.

Damn that lion! He thought.

The main door opened, and Levy and Rogue peered in as quiet as mice.

"Thanks for tonight, Rogue, it was fun." Levy said.

Rogue nodded and pulled her into an embrace.

They went their separate ways, and fell asleep.

Both dragon slayers fell asleep with a smile on their face.
