Lucy knew that eavesdropping was bad, but she couldn't help herself as she hid in front of the green sofa, slightly peeking her head out to look down on the first floor where Sting and Rogue were.
"There's something I have to tell you…" Sting's voice sounded more confident for some reason.
"What?" Rogue asked, and instead of his usual bored drawl his voice seemed curious.
Lucy could feel her heat thumping, 'I'm probably taking this out of context…' she thought to herself. But she couldn't help silently cheering Sting on. 'As long as there isn't any R-rated scenes going on in this house, you have my blessings!' Her inner fangirl squealed as she took out her phone to start writing down notes for inspiration.
"We've been together always, but lately, when I'm with you I feel different."
Lucy jumbled down the words, the scene was just so perfect!
"My heart keeps thumping loudly, and I get nervous. When other people talk to you it annoys me."
'Possesive…' Lucy noted nodding at the type, she hadn't expected anything less from Sting. And if she's right, then Rogue's the quiet yet loving type.
"Huh?"
"I…."
"You can do it Sting…" Lucy whispered encouragingly.
"…am in love with you. Become mine."
Lucy resisted the urge to squeal. "Nice job Sting!" She silently cheered.
"They're like that even though they're siblings?" Plue questioned ignoring their genders, he knew that if he pointed that out he'd get a lecture on Lucy about how love's about love, and not which gender, and so on.
"I've only read about this before, and I'd have never imagined actually seeing an incest couple." Lucy mumbled, "I really don't know how to feel about it, but I guess if they really love—"
A silent chuckle made Lucy freeze.
"Get your mind out of the gutter Bunny-girl, they don't love each other like that."
Lucy sent a glare to Gajeel who crouched down next to her, "You almost gave me a heart attack!" she whisper yelled.
"Damn, guess I failed…" Gajeel mocked sigh.
Lucy promptly used her fingers to poke him in the eyes making him hiss in pain.
"Ouch…"
Lucy gave him a sweet smile. "Can you still see?"
"Yes?"
"Damn, I guess I failed…." Lucy mocked sigh using his words.
Gajeel was too pleased to say something else, he missed these moments with Lucy after all. He turned to look at the scene Lucy was still looking at.
"Like I said, they don't love each other like that." Gajeel informed.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"I mean, they're voice actors."
Lucy's eyes sparkled in realization, "That explains why they sound so different right now."
"You don't say?"
Lucy smiled down at the two who had taken a break and were now discussing the scene with each other, "They sure are talented. How do they do that though?"
"Do what?" Gajeel asked frowning in confusion.
"Read it over with so much emotion."
"Same thing you do when you sing, except y'know, talking instead."
"It's not the same thing." Lucy sighed at Gajeel.
"To me it's the same." Gajeel grumbled.
"She's right."
"It's not the same."
Both jumped in surprise, and turned around to face Sting and Rogue. Both with varying expressions of amusement.
"S-sorry for eavesdropping!" Lucy immediately apologized.
"These dragons just pop out of nowhere…" Plue grumbled taking a protective stance in front of Lucy.
"Bah, three against one. I guess you're right Bunny-girl, it isn't the same thing." Gajeel continued the earlier conversation as if not had happened.
"Your face is red Lucy-san, is something wrong?" Rogue asked.
Lucy shook her head no, "Ah, it's just that scene really got to me, you know?" she sheepishly smiled at the two.
"Oh?" Sting walked over to Lucy, a sly smile on his face. "Are you perhaps a fan of yaoi?"
Lucy quickly nodded her head yes, before shaking her head no, and then nodding her head yes again. She kept repeating these two motions earning a confused look from Sting and Rogue.
"She's in a love-hate relationship with them. It depends on if the story actually has some plot, makes sense, and the characters. She hates it when the story's just about two boys fucking for no reason." Gajeel explained to the best of his abilities.
"Ah.." Sting and Rogue said in unison.
Lucy sent Gajeel a grateful look before standing up. She smiled at the two in front of her. "You two did an amazing job."
"Ah, really? Thanks." Sting grinned.
"Are you sure there wasn't any faults?" Rogue asked trying to get another point of view.
Lucy thought it over a bit, "Well, now that you mention it when Sting says he has something to tell you, his voice sounds too confident. I mean, even the most confident person can become nervous when they're about to confess. In short it would be better if you started off a bit nervous before becoming more confident Sting."
Sting looked at Lucy, a surprised look in his features.
Lucy then turned to Rogue, "And I think anyone could gather that when someone says they have something important to tell you, that something important is going to be said. I don't know much about your character, but from what I've heard the two are best friends, so I think your character should be able to guess what Sting's character is about to say, but you're still in denial."
Rogue nodded in agreement despite the surprised look on his features.
Lucy then gave the two an apologetic smile, "I don't mean to impose though. Those were just suggestions."
"No, it's alright." Rogue assured.
Sting had a grin forming on his face, "That was actually cool, you only heard it once, and you were still able to pick out things that needed improving."
Rogue nodded in agreement, "Do you mind helping us out again in the future?" he asked.
Lucy grinned at them, "No, not at all! I'm happy to help."
Both blinked at her grin.
"That happy expression really suits you little sister." Sting complimented giving Lucy a pat on the head.
"E-er, thanks?"
Then Sting did the unexpected and kiss her on the forehead.
Lucy blushed.
"Sting…" Rogue sighed seemingly resisting the urge to hit himself with his palm.
"That was a thank you for helping us kiss." Sting informed giving Lucy a wink, "Want a goodnight one too?" He asked grabbing Lucy's chin and leaning close for a peck on the lips.
"YOU FOUL—" Plue started to growl only to be cut off.
"Oi, that's enough bastard." Gajeel shoved Sting off of Lucy.
Sting seemed disappointed. "Did you really have to ruin the moment Gajeel?"
"Yes."
"Awww."
"I'll give you five seconds to run." Gajeel cracked his fingers.
Sting sent Rogue a pleading look.
Rogue ignored it.
"One…."
Sting gave Gajeel a playful look, "Oh, come on…"
"Two…"
Sting gave Lucy a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight little sister." He whispered in her ears.
Lucy blushed beet red.
Then he promptly ran away.
"FIVE!" Gajeel yelled chasing after him along with Plue, "Come here so I can kill you, you bastard!"
Lucy blinked, her face back to its original color. "Is he going to be okay?"
"No, not really. Although it's his own fault." Rogue said.
"..Oh."
"More importantly, shall I walk you back to your room?" Rogue asked giving Lucy a small smile.
Lucy smiled at him, "That would be a lot of help. I kind of forgot where my room is." She sheepishly informed.
