Chapter 4

"So, how'd it go?" Sting asked Lucy.

"Well. . ." Lucy started.

Flashback

"Um. . . Natsu? Listen. I have something to say to you." Lucy told him.

"Hello beautiful." Laxus said to Mira, the new intern. "I want to talk to you about something."

"Really? What about?" Mira asked.

"If you would let me drill you at the side of this boat's railing while I adore the Crocus City skyline!" Laxus told her.

"Or, if you're feeling horny, we could always face the opposite direction!" Laxus said. Mira was angry.

"Jerk!" Mira threw her lightning whiskey at Laxus, but he dodged it, causing it to hit Natsu's face.

"AHHHH! Lightning whiskey! With just a hint of coconut!" Natsu covered his eyes.

End of Flashback

"So I basically couldn't tell him." Lucy sighed. "How about you?"

"Something worse even happened to her!" Sting shouted.

Flashback

Yukino was sitting down beside Sting at their table. She noticed something.

"I got a tiny little spot of wine up my sleeve!" Yukino said. Sting was about to tell her, but he changed his mind.

End of Flashback

"I just, couldn't tell her! I'm not a monster!" Sting reasoned.

"As soon as we dock, I'm taking Natsu to the ER." Lucy said.

"I. . . I wish last night never happened." Lucy sighed. Sting took a sip from his scotch.

"I don't." Sting said.

"What do you mean?" Lucy looked at him.

"What if this whole thing. . . was not the story of how we made a mistake and ruined both our relationships?" Sting asked her.

"What if it's actually the story. . ." Sting paused. "Of how we got back together?' Sting finished.

"Okay. . . I'm going to ask you one last time." Lucy sighed again. "Is this, what you want?"

"It's what we both want! Why else are we rushing to tell them what we did on a boat? That is a terrible idea!" Sting told her.

"Sting. . . we tried this! And we failed! Why try again?" Lucy said.

"Because I haven't stopped thinking about you and you haven't stopped thinking about me!" Sting confessed.

"I-I'm such a mess!" Lucy tried not to cry.

"Why do you even like me?" Lucy asked him.

"I guess, it's because you're almost as messed up as I am." Sting replied.

Lucy sighed and said, "Well, there's the small issue that we're currently dating other people..."

"How 'bout this? After we dock. . . let's each do, what we have to do, and meet down at the bar at midnight, and talk about us?" Sting blushed a little. Lucy managed to smile.

"Don't forget your mystery gift bags!" Laxus held them up. "They're condoms!"

Sorry haven't updated in a while! I'm super busy this Christmas! I don't own anything!
