Recap:

I had to try so hard not to kiss her. It took me everything to whisper something in her ear. She looked hot in what she was wearing but I didn't like the fact that guys could hurt her because of how amazing she looked. I sighed so she wouldn't hear. Lucy was amazing she really was but I can't fall for a fairy. Rouge will be back and I he can maybe help me so I won't fall for her. Not sure if he'll help but I'll see in the next few months.

Chapter 4

Sting's POV

We got out of the forest to meet civilization. The look on Lucy's face was amazing she stood next to me taking the beautiful town in. I had a few jewels so we could shop for the months and Rouge was bring some more food so it was ok. I looked around for the marketplace to go get us some grab. Once I spotted it I started walking towards it. I turned back to Lucy who was surprisingly following me instead of going to the post office.

"Where do you think you're going?" I asked her "The post office is that way"

As I said that I pointed towards the post office direction and waited for her to start walking but she never did. I sighed before asking her anymore questions. Why does she have to be so difficult? Ahh she pisses me off sometimes.

"Go on now" I tell her

"I'll come with you to make sure you get the right food then you can come with me" She suggested "Deal?"

"What?" I said shocked at what she said "Don't tell me you're scared"

"Baka" She yelled at me "It's your fault"

She really was scared about what people might do to her. This was so funny. I looked at her, almost in the verge of laughter. She was looking at me with pleading eyes. She looked cute. This girl can look cute and hot at the same time! What's up with that? If I'm not careful she might put me under her spell like she did with Natsu.

"Wanna hold my hand?" I asked her out of no where

She looked at my face for sings of teasing then she looked back at my hand. I could tell she was thinking about what she should do. This was kind of funny to watch. I just hoped she didn't think I was serious. Being the fairy she is she thought I was. She looked at me then back at my hand again then she brought her hand up.

"You really think I was serious" I told her putting my hands in my pocket

She didn't reply. She stood there looking at the ground blushing. It was cute and funny. I looked at her then at our surroundings. No men were looking at her with a wanting look in their eyes so it was fine. I started to laugh at how self-worried she was being. I mean if you dress like this all the time you're dying for attention.

Lucy's POV

I feel so stupid to really think that he would be serious as in to hold my hand. You're being stupid Lucy. I said to myself. Sting wasn't this type of guy. He killed his own dragon for crying out loud. He thinks his the best in the world and he's in the guild that doesn't like weaklings so why should he be nice to me. Sting's just playing with my head. I can't imagine him being anything but a guy with a big ego that only care's for himself. Too even think that I might fall for him was impossible, I just got caught up in the moment that's all there is to it.

The more I thought about this the more I got really angry. He was just toying with my feelings. I bet he does that all the time. I could hear him trying to hold his laugher in. A vein popped in my head for the second time today.

"You know what" I said looking at him now "I'm going by myself. See you in the market place when I'm done"

I didn't give him time to reply. I turned to the direction he pointed at earlier and started walking. I could see Fro walking behind me. I turned to face her but not before I saw where Sting and I were just sating and he was already gone. I picked Frosh up and we went to the post office. I calmed down and just walked with the cutest thing every in my hands.

"Fro wants to know why Lucy's sad" Frosh said looking at me

"You're my best friend right?" I asked her

"Fro thinks so" Frosh said cutely "Is Lucy Fro's best friend?"

"Yes" I tell her smiling now "So can you keep a secret?"

"Fro can" She replies

"I might have been falling in love with Sting but after what he just did" I told her "I don't see that happening"

"Fro won't tell a soul" Frosh said crossing her fingers

I smiled and we entered the post office. It feels nice to have a girl best friend even though she's from another guild and she's a cat. There is also Levy but she's not here with me now. I miss Fairytail so much I walk out happy that they'll get my letter. I start making my way to the marketplace to find that jackass Sting.

We're walking calming looking around at this amazing town. That's truly beautiful. I really want to have lunch and I just passed a great restaurant. I'll drag Sting here to treat me and Fro to lunch. I had nothing to worry about, no one was about to hurt me like Sting said. He was just play with my head. I thought that to soon because when I turned at a corner I saw two men. The both had black hair except one had dark blue eyes like the darkest part of the sea and the other had dark green eyes. I tried walking back before they noticed me but they did.

"Look what we have here brother" Blue eyes said

"Something beautiful" Green eyes said

Frosh made her way out of my grip and flew away. Some friend she turned out to be. You betrayer Frosh. You shall be punished by rouge once I till him. I thought but then returned my mind to my situation now. The two men made their way towards me. I turned to run but green eyes took my hand before I could take off. I froze when I faced him. I didn't know what to do. I guess Sting was right. I tried kicking and punching but with no luck.

Sting's POV

I had bought a few things that we needed and had started looking for Lucy because I wanted to know if she wanted to eat at a restaurant while we can before its back to our forest life. Maybe even stay at an inn for the rest of the day and then go back before Rouge get there in the afternoon. Where could that stupid fairy have gone? It's not hard to find a walking slut around here.

"Lector do you see her?" I asked my exceed who was flying up to see where she was

"No" He replied and flew back down to my side "Let's just forget about her"

I was about to reply when I saw something pink make its way over to us. I recognize it from anywhere. It was Frosh. If anyone knew were Lucy was it was her. She stopped in front of me but she didn't stop flying. I looked past her to see where Lucy was so I could yell at her for taking forever but I didn't see here. I looked at my partners exceed then behind her before I asked her.

"Where's Lucy?" I asked

"Two men" Frosh began

"Take us to her" I commanded

I didn't need her to say anymore. That stupid idiot should have changed into her training clothes before we left the clearing. I knew this would happen.

I followed Frosh to where Lucy was. If her guild never sees her again I'm going to be killed. She just sent them a letter tell them she's fine. How I'm I going to explain to her she's died. Wait. Why do I even care? It doesn't matter why I'm worried about her. I just have to reach her.

I kept following Frosh until I heard Lucy's cry for help. I turned in the ally to see Lucy being pinned to the wall by two men. One of them was try to touch her but she was trying her best not to let them. She was getting somewhere but it was two against one. I would have let her do this by herself but I knew she was going to have a hard time. I step forward and cleared my throat trying to get their attention. It worked and they all looked at me.

"Let go of her" I said to the men

"What are you going to do about it?" Blue eyes asked

"This-" I was cut off by Lucy

"No!" She screamed "I can do this. All these months of training weren't for nothing"

"But-" I started again not believing my ears

"No!" She said louder and stronger this time "Sting please let me do this"

I nodded and stepped back. I watched in disgust as the men licked their lips. I wanted to punch them both and kick them maybe even kill them for what they were doing to Lucy. She's such a stubborn girl. Though I wanted to act I had to respect her request. I believed she could do it. I would only interfere when she was having a hard time.

Lucy's POV

Sting stepped back. I was happy he was going to let me do this by myself. I mean all those past 4 months of training weren't for nothing. I wanted to prove to these two idiots that I wasn't weak. I wanted to show Sting that his training wasn't for nothing.

I was managing to make sure they didn't touch my chest ok. I was being lifted off the ground but I was Sting against the wall. I brought my legs up and kicked them in the gut. Blue eyes flew backwards but green eyes grabbed my foot. He's other hand still on my shoulder. He let go of my leg and moved closer to my face keeping my legs apart. I couldn't move my legs because they were against the wall and he was stepping on them.

"You're boyfriend isn't going to save you" He said "Either is you're trying to hurt me and my brother"

I blushed at the thought that he thought that Sting was my boyfriend. Though that will never happen. I looked at Sting who was smirking and still standing there. I could tell that anytime I was struggling he was going to be ready to attack. I smiled at him but he looked away from my gaze. He'll never love me. Though it was sweet of him to come and save me.

I turned back at green eyes and smirked. Almost a Sting smirk but it didn't matter. I took my hand left hand and aimed for his gut again. He caught it.

"You never learn do you" He said shaking his head

I took this opportunity to punch him in the face with my free right hand. I manage it and he walked back. When he looked up at me I could tell he was angry. He ran towards me throwing punches and kicks. Thanks to Stings rock throwing I was able to dodge them easily. I kicked him and he went flying against the other wall. He stood up soon and I was ready for him to attack again but he just got his brother and ran towards Sting. Sting didn't block their path.

"Don't try anything on her again" Sting said

"Why would we?" green eyes said "She's got the strength of 5 men"

"Let's go brother" Blue eyes said "She's not worth the trouble"

With that they got lost and went on their way. I made my way over to Sting and looked at him hopefully. Waiting for him to say something offensive. I was taken aback by his compliment.

"You did well" Sting said smiling at me

"Thanks" I said blushing

"For a fairy that is" He said turning away

He just had to add that last bit. I sighed but I didn't get angry. I was just really hungry. Getting mad at him won't get him to by me lunch.

"So" I said standing next to him "Can we eat at a restaurant?"

"I was thinking we could then got to an inn, stay there till tomorrow then go back to the clearing and wait for Rouge" he told me not facing me at all

I was so shocked. I jumped up and down excited. Today was the best day ever. I got to come to town and send a letter to my guild, I showed Sting that he's training wasn't for nothing and I scared away to guys, plus I get to stay in civilization for longer! Sting wasn't that bad. I stopped jumping around in circles and went to face him. I stood there starting at him.

Sting's POV

Lucy did well in the fight. She was strong, I could tell over the months we've been training together. So this is what it feels to know your efforts for helping someone weren't for nothing. It feels great. I could however get the picture of Lucy smiling at me blushing when he called me her boyfriend. I turned away to hide my own blush. I don't know why, but I liked the sound of that. She'll never love me. Though it's sweet that she blushed at the thought.

I snapped out of my thoughts when she walked right in front of me after her excited attack. She stood there starting at me for a while. Then she took a step closer and pulled me into a hug. I was surprised at her sudden show of gratitude but never the less I hugged her back. I how she was in my arms and I didn't really want to let her go. I stood there eyes closed hugging her tight and she was hugging me tighter. Boy she's gotten stronger. Then I realised what was going on. She must have too because we quickly broke apart.

We broke from the hug then looked at each other before both facing the other way. I was so nervous. I missed the hug already. I haven't hugged a human in a long time. I hug lector when his crying sometimes but it didn't feel the same. It felt warmer and her feet could reach the ground. I was blushing even more now. I sneaked a glance at Lucy and she was blushing too. There was an awkward silence between us now. Lector stood there smirking at me and Frosh was smiling and nodding. I knew Lector was never going to let me live this down.

"So let's go eat" I said walking in front of her but she stopped me

"Um…" She started looking really nervous "I know it was a joke before but can I hold your hand? I admit I'm scared a little even though-"

I didn't give her time to finish whatever she was going to say. I took her hand and intertwined fingers. If I didn't do it, things were going to get more awkward and I didn't want that to happen.

We entered the closest restaurant and got a table. Lector sat on my left while Lucy was on my right. I didn't realize I was still holding her hand when we sat down. I looked down at the hand then up at her our eyes meet and we pulled our hands away both blushing a dark shade of red. I hide behind the menu and looked at what I could order for lunch.

In Fairytail, Mongolia. A bird has brought Lucy's letter to her family to tell them she's well.

Natsu's POV

We got back to the guild from fishing and we had caught a lot of fish. Happy was happy and I had had a good time with Lisanna it was just like the old days before she was believed died. When we entered the guild everyone was jumping and having fun and drinking. I wanted to know why. Even though most of the time the guilds like this it was partying more the usual.

"What's going on?" I asked Mirajane as I made my way to the bar

"It's a letter from Lucy" Mirajane said happily "Here read it"

My eye's opened wide and I took the letter. I sat on the stool. I just looked at it for a while before taking a deep breath to read it. It said:

Hello everyone,

It's Lucy. I'm fine and I miss you all but don't worry I'm not in any trouble.

I've been training to get stronger. I've been training with a friend and two other friends. One of which is my best friend. Levy and Natsu you haven't been replaced don't worry.

I'll be back in a year. I've gotten stronger, faster and fitter. I might be able to beat Gray. Who knows?

I think about my beloved family every day and I apologize for not saying by to all of you face to face but if I did I probably wouldn't have gone to train. I'm glad I did. I don't want you to worry about me. I send a letter in the next 4 months, when I have a chance to come back into the town I'm at. Don't reply because today is the only day I can enter the town. I leave in a few hours.

Love,

Lucy H.

I smiled at the letter and started to party with the rest of the guild. I was happy I didn't have to worry about Lucy anymore she was fine and she was with her friends. I smiled at the bit about betting Gray and I went up to him.

"Ha! Gray" I said "Lucy can bet you up when she comes back"

"What did you say flame brain?" Gray asked

"You couldn't hear ice princess" I told him

Our heads banged each other and we started a glare off when I saw Erza staring. I quickly lifted my head and walked away to join Elfman, who was happily dancing. The whole guild was happy. Even Happy had stopped flirting with Clara and started flying around happily. Our family was cheering and happy.

Lisanna's POV

I tried to love Lucy like a sister but she's on Natsu's mind 24/7. Even my sister won't stop talking about her. I haven't known her for a long time but I know enough to know that she's taken my place. It doesn't look that way but it seems that way. Each growing day I hate her more and more. If I'm not careful and I don't take advantage of this year she's not here Natsu might fall in love with her. I had him first so his mine and not hers. Lucy Heartfilia.

The whole guild was having a party till dark on the receiving of her letter so I went back to my house to start planning a way to get Natsu's heart for my own.

At night back in Utsukushī yoru. Lucy's POV

Sting had just treated me to lunch ages ago and now his treating me to diner. The afternoon has been fun. We went to the amusement park they have here and went on the rides. I apologized to Fro for thinking she was leaving me by myself to fight off those two men. When I replay the scene from when the two men went away I always blush remembering what happened between me and Sting.

We were walking around the town and the shops weren't closed. I was walking close to Sting because I could see men eyeing me up and down. I was scared I can take them I know that now but it was still scary. Sting didn't seem to mind the looks because he just kept walking.

"Where are we going?" I asked him

"To find an inn" Sting said

"Can we stop by a clothes shop?" I asked quietly but he heard

"Why you mind the stares?" He asked

So he did notice them staring. I smiled at this then blushed. Maybe Sting was paying attention to me more than I thought he was.

"What's with all the blushing Blondie?" Sting asked

"If you don't want me to blush then stop being so sweet" I told him grabbing his hand and dragging him inside the nearest clothes shop

I dragged him inside and made a bee line to the girls section. I looked at all the shorts, jeans and shirts they had. I made sure not to glace at the mini skirt side. I was done with those clothes for good. I turned to Sting smiling.

"Please Sting" I begged

"I treat you to lunch AND dinner" Sting started "On top of that I'm taking you to an inn but you still want me to treat you more. You're unbelievable"

"Oh come one Sting" I said like a child

"Next time we come here ok" He told me and shock my hand of his and walked out.

I followed right behind him disappointed as I tried to catch up. I guess I was being kind of selfish but I couldn't take those stares anymore. I hated them.

After walking for what seemed like hours we reached an inn. It was perfect and we were lucky they only had one room left plus it paid cheap. We went up with the keys and our food for the clearing.

We opened the door and it was beautiful and perfect. One problem was the bed. They weren't 2 beds there was 1. 1 bed for us to share. I turned to face Sting and he faced me. What were we going to do?
