Heya guys.
Before you get angry at me for how late this chapter is, I want to apologise to everyone HUGELY
I'll explain why this chapter was really late at the end but for now, enjoy this chapter.
Let's go. (~._.)~
Lucy's POV:
I walked in between Sting and Rogue as I lead them the way to my apartment. It is not that spacious, but I hope they won't be bothered by it. Besides, I bought two new matresses and placed them under my bed. I thought maybe the next time Gray and Natsu wanted to invade my personal space and crash in, they could at least feel comfortable. But that isn't going to happen in a million years now. I took a few glances at Sting and Rogue and suddenly felt like something was definitely gonna go wrong. After my uncle's quest with the diamond mine incident, and the training with the meteorites nearly killing me, things weren't going as smoothly,
"So, you were training?" I collected my thoughts and paid attention to Sting.
"Yeah, I even learnt a new type of magic,"
"You did?" Rogue asked me while raising his eyebrow.
"Yup, it's called Angel magic. The Celestial Spirit King made me go through a trial which determined that I was able to sustain and obtain that power,"
"That explains why you look like an angel today," Sting murmured to himself but I managed to catch what he said.
"Aww~ Stingy-bee thinks I look like an angel~," I hugged Sting tightly and made sure he couldn't get out of it.
"I-I d-didn't say that!"
"Yes you did! I heard you!"
"Whatever! S-Stop hugging m-me!"
"I thought you love hugs,"
"What makes you think that?!"
"You hugged me when we were sleeping in your bed at your apartment," I looked up at Sting who's face was pinkish red, and Rogue was laughing quietly.
"Damn you Lucy...," I giggled and released my grip on Sting.
"Don't act like you don't like it Stingy-bee~," I laughed to myself as Sting tried to hide his embarassment. He looked so adorable when he was blushing.
"Well, we're here," I turned the door knob slightly but was stopped by Sting who grabbed my arm and pulled me towards his chest. I felt his heart beat and my face took on a bright pink hue.
"W-what's wrong?"
"Someone's here," Sting answered me while Rogue sniffed the air.
"Sting's right, but it smells like there is more than one though," More than one? I knew something bad was going to happen. Fairy Tail must have realised that I was gone and was searching for me. Never thought that they would actually care after what they did to me.
"Fairy Tail...," I mumbled loud enough for Sting and Rogue to hear.
"Fairy Tail?"
"They must be looking for me after I left the guild because of them," I stood up straight and took in a deep breath.
"You left Fairy Tail?" Sting questioned me and I caught a hint of sympathy in his face. And I thought he was a douchebag at first, not until he gave me the necklace and acted all cute and hot- Woah. Did I just call Sting hot? Focus Lucy. Fairy Tail is in your apartment and you have to think of a way to get rid of them.
"In a way. I didn't left legally yet but I already erased the insignia on my own by doing something to it...so does that count?" I scratched my head and Sting and Rogue looked at each other. I sighed and knew that sooner or later I have to tell both of them.
"Look, in all honesty, I don't care about them anymore. If they want to treat their nakama like trash, then that's fine by me. I don't mind if they hate me now for hanging out with you guys, although I understand if you guys don't want to do this," I looked down and kicked the ground.
"I don't actually mind and Rogue-"
"I don't mind either," I gazed into their eyes and smiled brightly.
"Great! Let's go then!" As much as I sound fine, I'm not. I'm pretty anxious about what was going to happen. What if they try to hurt Rogue and Sting? I can't let that happen! I must be strong and prove to them that I'm not that weakling they think I was. I walked towards the door but it burst opened, revealing the familiar faces.
"Maybe we should check another place-Lucy!" Levy ran and hugged me so tight that I couldn't breathe.
"Lucy-san's here?" Wendy came running out and cried when she saw me. I wiggled out of Levy's hug and adjusted my balance.
"Lucy!" Erza was the next one who rushed out to greet me, followed by Gray, Gajeel and Natsu...Why must he be here?! Don't tell me, he finally got a brain and realised what he had done. Well it's too late now for that idiot.
"Lucy, we were worried sick about you! Where did you go? You look different as well- Sabertooth!" Erza walked backwards and requipped into her heaven's wheel armor. My ex-guildmates got ready in their battle stance and so did Sting and Rogue.
"Lucy, walk away slowly away from them," Gray's hands lighted up and he prepared to launch an attack.
"W-wait! They a-are not h-hurting me-"
"What are you doing with Lucy, Sabertooth?! Probably to torture and torment her!" Erza summoned a large amount of swords and it surrounded her.
"We would do no such thing!" Sting stood closer to me, so close I could feel his hot breath on the temple of my head. My heart skipped a beat when his toned body stroked against mine.
"Says the person who killed the very dragon who cared and taught him magic," Gajeel retaliated, disgusted at the same time.
"Why you-" I stopped Sting from attacking Gajeel by clutching his arm back. I stole a glimpse at Rogue who was as infuriated as Sting.
"Lucy! Go now! We will protect you-"
"No," I interrupted Erza which shocked myself as well.
"Listen to me Lucy! They will hurt you!"
"No they won't!"
"Do you even remember what Minerva did to you during the Grand Magic Games?! She nearly killed you! They would probably do the same thing to you-"
"Oh yeah?! Then maybe you guys should have thought about that when you did that to my soul!" I snapped back at Gray who was taken back. Wow. I never knew I could get pissed off like that.
"Lucy...," Levy tried to approach me but I took a step back and tighten my grasp on Sting's arm.
"Lucy, can we talk about this privately?" I released Sting's arm and whispered to Rogue and Sting.
"Could you guys please go in my apartment? I'll handle this," Rogue nodded and went in my aparment with Frosch and Lector on his trail, leaving me and Sting together.
"Sting you-"
"I'm not leaving you here," Sting held my hands tightly, making a shade of crimson colour my complexion.
"Sting please, I can handle this. I promise you, nothing bad will happen," I tried to reassure Sting yet it didn't work.
"How can you be so sure? You already said that they hurt you emotionally, and they could do that again, maybe even physically," I widened my eyes at Sting's words. I never knew he cared about me that much.
"Sting if you stay out here, they could attack you when I'm not looking or something. I don't want you to get injured because of me,"
"Lucy-"
"Please," I stared softly into his deep sapphire eyes, striking me with his luminous and piercing orbs. Sting bit his lip then sighed.
"Be careful Lucy," I nodded my head as I watched him walked into aparment. I could feel Fairy Tail glaring at him and Sting doing the same. As soon as Sting was out of sight, the whole Fairy Tail team flipped out at me.
"What do you think you're doing Lucy?! You can't trust them!" Gray shouted at me, clearly ticked off already.
"And why can't I?" I gave him a cold stare and crossed my arms.
"Lucy, this is not like you. You were kind-hearted, gentle and always cares for her nakama, even if they hurt her," Levy's eyes saddened as I responded.
"The same Lucy is here. The only difference is that the same Lucy was stabbed in the back by her own friends,"
"Lucy we're sorry for what had happened. And speaking of apologising," Erza grabbed Natsu by the collar and threw him to the front. Natsu stumbled and wouldn't even look at me in the eye.
"Lucy...I just wanna say I'm sorry. The whole Grand Magic Games thing got into my head that I forgotten how to treat my nakama right. I never meant what I said that day. I was upset that the stupid blonde bastard Sting beat me. Could you forgive me and return back to Fairy Tail with us?" Natsu held out his hand and the rest gave worried looks. Natsu did hurt me alot, but I don't want to have any enemies. It would be hard to forget though.
"I forgive you, but I'm not coming back to Fairy Tail,"
"What?" Natsu tumbled backwards a little, probably shocked at my answer.
"Lucy, we understand that what Natsu did tore you apart but to leave Fairy Tail like that-"
"It's not how you think Erza. After what happened with Natsu, I went back to my family manor and on my way I met Sting and Rogue. Yes, they may be threatening to you guys, but they're really different. They cheered me up and helped me when no one was there for me. I understand if you hate them, although I would have to disagree with you. Sting and Rogue are one of the most caring, funniest and kindest people I have ever met. It's not because of them that I don't want to return to Fairy Tail. What Natsu said that day was right. I was weak and always needed someone to save me. That's why I'm leaving. To become a much more powerful and stronger mage. I will return for visits however in the meantime, I would be somewhere else. I hope you understand,"
"If that's what you want and we do understand. We won't force you to change your decision. No matter, please remember that we will always be here for you," Erza sniffed a little as Levy and Wendy were already crying their hearts out.
"I will and tomorrow will officially be my last day as a guild member of Fairy Tail. I'll see you guys by then,"
"We will to," Gray puffed his chest and tried to suck back his tears.
"See you guys tomorrow," I waved sadly at Fairy Tail while they walked away slowly. I sighed and went in my apartment. I placed my bag into my drawer and turned to Rogue and Sting.
"Sorry if that took long plus my apartment isn't that big. You two don't mind sleeping on the floor right? I do have extra matresses,"
"It's okay, don't pressure yourself. You don't mind if I use your bathroom?"
"Not at all. Just make yourselves at home," Rogue nodded his head and went in the bathroom with Frosch. Lector had already fallen asleep on my table so I better not disturb him. I sat down on my bed and found a pouting Sting in front of me.
"What?"
"You're not hurt are you? Did Natsu touch you or anything?" Sting started examining my body, he lifted my limbs and made sure there were no injuries caused by Fairy Tail. A sensation shot up my spine as the feeling of Sting's hands all over my body shook me inside.
"No he didn't, so don't worry Stingy Bee~ Did you really missed me that fast?" I winked and stuck my tongue at Sting as he looked cutely away from me. I giggled and went to grab my laundry basket.
"In the meantime, you could give me your dirty clothes. I don't really have a washing machine so I could wash them for you when I shower-" I stopped when I fell to the ground and my basket dropped out of my hands. I looked up and felt as if my heart exploded once I found Sting on top of me.
"What if I say yes?" Sting pinned my body, restricting me from moving.
"Y-Yes t-to what?" I stammered as Sting's chest came in contact with mine. My pulse pounded rapidly when Sting closen up the space between our faces, leaving a small gap.
"You asked me if I missed you. So what if I did?" Sting smirked deviously at me and my veins heated up as Sting played with a strand of my hair.
"I-I-"
"I'm done showering, so if anyone wants to use the bathroom...," Rogue walked out the bathroom and stared at me and Sting.
"Maybe I should take a longer shower,"
"No! I-I'll go s-shower now!" I pushed Sting off me as soon as he loosened his grip on me.
"Do you have any dirty clothes?" I hurriedly picked up my laundry basket and placed in my torn outfit from yesterday.
"Sting's and mine are right here-" Rogue held out a black bag and I hastily took the clothes out.
"Thanks! I'll wash them now!" I threw the basket in the bathroom and locked the door. I sighed and leaned against the wall. What was Sting doing to me just now? Was he playing with me? I did heard rumours before that Sting was a flirt but to pin me down on the floor without giving me a chance to move a single inch was kinda too far. I took off my Celestial Spirit World clothes and filled the tub with hot water. I stepped in it and lay comfortably, letting the steamy bath calm me down. I hugged my breasts and placed my right hand over my heart. My heart was still bumping vigorously. I bit my lip and lay deeper in the bath tub. Why did Sting did that? Sure I might have given off some hints of flirting but I was just teasing him.
Don't tell me he was just teasing me too. I sighed and took the laundry basket. I washed their clothes thoroughly as well as the Celestial Spirit World clothes. I scrubbed them hard, trying to forget what happened before with Sting. I eventually got too much into the scrubbing that I nearly tore my own clothes apart. I twisted all the clothes letting all the excess water come out. I set them back in the basket and wrapped myself in the towel. I was so embarassed just now that I forgotten to bring in my night clothes. I opened the door and ambled slowly. Sting was laying on my bed with Lector now and Rogue was playing with Frosch. I quietly went out to the balcony and checked the weather. It was pretty cold plus it's blustery out here. It will probably rain soon so I better hang it inside. I closed the door and set up some wires and stands right beside the balcony door. I hanged our clothes and placed my laundry basket aside. My window then opened abruptly and I slammed it shut. Geez. What's wrong with the weather tonight? It was perfectly fine a few moments ago,
"It might be kinda cold tonight, I'm guessing it's going to rain heavily soon. Do you guys want some blankets?" I asked Sting and Rogue as I cleared my stuff.
"Yes thank you," Rogue responded and got out of the way for me to assemble their beds. I pulled out my last row of drawers and brought out the blankets. I prepared the two big matresses on the floor and arranged the blankets alongside some pillows. After I was done, I changed into a short orange plunging v-neck night gown and silky shorts in the bathroom obviously. I wouldn't want them watch me strip naked and everything. I didn't wear a bra to sleep of course since it's painful enough to wear them every day. I walked out the bathroom and checked all the windows were secured to make sure the wind won't blow it open. It was already cold enough in my apartment. I switched off the lights and lay in my bed. I tossed and turned as I couldn't get comfortable on my own bed. I snuck a peek at Sting and Rogue on the ground and they both were already knocked out with Frosch and Lector laying beside them. Their mission must have been more tiring than my training. I shifted onto the edge of my bed and gazed at Sting. I smiled to myself and suddenly felt the urge to run my fingers through his hair.
I hesitated but slowly and gently caressed his hair. Surprisingly, Sting's hair was soft and glossy. I chuckled and proceeded down his smooth cheek,
"What are you doing?" Sting opened his eyes and I quickly retreated.
"Um I couldn't sleep,"
"So you decided to play with my hair?" Sting sat up and gave me a sly smile.
"W-Well I-I" I was interrupted by the sudden opening of one of my windows. The wind blew in strongly and I hurriedly tried to close it but the forceful breeze was too difficult for me. I squinted my eyes and closed the window, only for it to open again. I gave it one last thrust and the window was finally shut tight. I panted and looked up, discovering a hand placed over mine. My body was pulled back gently and I weirdly recognized the warmth around my stomach. I spun around and faced the enigmatic blonde in front of me. Sting lifted up my hand and placed it on his mouth. The brush of his lips against my hand made my heart immediately grew out wings and fluttered out of my figure. Fire exploded in my cheeks and my muscles immobilised.
"S-Sting," Sting pulled me in closer and moved my hand over to my mouth. He then released me and showed me a satisfied smile.
"You can count that as an indirect kiss on the lips," I felt an angel flew me to heaven when I heard Sting's response, ironically, since I use Angel magic now. Sting walked away to his bed and went back to dreamland. I stood frozen for a few seconds and sucked in my breath. I touched my lips which were now warm. An indirect kiss huh?...I grinned a little and twirled my hair. For some reason, I actually liked it. It was a sweet and romantic move, unlike when he tried to molest me before. I got onto my bed and took a quick glance at Sting. He was snoring away but still looked kinda cute. I leaned in closer towards Sting and did something I didn't expect myself to do the second time since I did it when he gave me the necklace. I pecked a small and light kiss on his cheek and turned around. I grabbed my blanket tightly and thought to myself. Sting is really not a bad guy after all. I closed my eyes and struggled to forget the last sight of Sting in my head, him smirking when I kissed his cheek.
*Time Skip*
I flinched while I felt something poke my face continuously. Who's poking me? If it's Sting, then he's going to get it from me. I fluttered my eyes and attempt to figure out the image in front of me. Oh, it was Lector and Frosch. I got up slowly and stretched my arms out. What time was it? I looked up at the clock and noticed it was already twelve in the afternoon. I slept for that long? I stood up and looked around. Sting and Rogue were nowhere to be seen,
"Where's Sting and Rogue, Frosch and Lector? Oh, and good afternoon,"
"Afternoon Lucy-san! Sting's showering and Rogue went out to buy breakfast,"
"Frosch thinks so too!" I giggled at their cuteness and squeezed them tight. They're so adorable!
"Now that's not fair," I immediately straighten my back at the deep familiar voice.
"Why is it that everytime you appear I feel like I'm going to get sexually assaulted?" I placed the exceeds down on the bed and my chin was pulled up to face my future rapist.
"Maybe it's because that's what I actually want to do to you," Lava leaked into my cheeks and I swiped Sting's hand away.
"P-Pervert!" I shouted and grabbed my lingerie with my towel. I slammed the door and locked it fast. I exhaled and took a quick and swift shower. What a pervert that guy is! And to think that I have feelings for a womanizer?! There must be something horribly wrong with my brain. Whatever! I shouldn't be thinking about Sting! Today was the day I will officially leave Fairy Tail for good. And I even planned to do a final quest as my last day as a guild member of Fairy Tail. Yet, I still can't do that all alone. Should I ask Sting and Rogue? I don't want that pervertic idiot to join but it was my first quest without anyone in Team Natsu. Besides, on the uplifting side, I have Rogue to take care of Sting along with me. Maybe I should just ask them for help. I have no other choice anyway. Plus there is no way in hell, am I going to ask somebody from Fairy Tail to help me. I got to prove to them that I'm strong and have others too. I wiped myself dry and wore my lingerie. Hmm...What should I wear today? All of my clothes doesn't fit for what I look like now, especially my new tattoos. The Celestial Spirit World clothes weren't fit too since it's a dress. Maybe I should ask Virgo,
"Open Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
"You called me, hime?"
"Yes Vir- Why are you in a bikini?!"
"I thought maybe I should follow the occasion,"
"Ah, forget it. I was wondering if you could do two more favors for me,"
"Anything hime,"
"Is it possible for you to design clothes in the Celestial Spirit World according to my needs?"
"You can. I usually design them with Capricorn and Cancer hime,"
"Oh thank you so much! I wanted an outfit that is fit for battle. Something like an armor, that gives off the aura of some sort of warrior angel,"
"But you already have one hime,"
"Heh?" I looked at Virgo in confusion.
"Celestial Spirit King didn't inform you?"
"He only told me about a book that has the spells I need, and that the ritual changed my appearance,"
"So he didn't tell you. I shall inform you then. The reason why I said you have one armor is actually due to your magic. Your Angel magic comes with a battle armor. As you grow stronger, your armor does too, and would occasionally change its appearance too. Right now, you should have the battle armor as its purest form. It will develop as you master your magic and then when you fully master your magic, it won't alter anymore. When you fully master your magic, you will become like a real angel. Also, we Celestial Spirits will grow in strength too, some of us would change in our outfits as well. You can wear your armor anytime you want by simply using your magic,"
"But when I was training in the Celestial Spirit World, there wasn't any spell that taught me how to do that,"
"Hmm, the Celestial Spirit King must have not given you the armor that day. I'll shall fetch it,"
"Wait before you go,"
"Yes hime? Maybe punishment yes?"
"No, no punishments. That was only my first favor. My second favor is if you could modify the dress you gave me before my training in the Celestial Spirit World. I was going to use for quests and thought maybe if you make into like a top and bottom instead of a full set?"
"Yes I can hime, but please wait awhile," I nodded my head and used my spare time drying my hair. Was I asking too much from Virgo? Maybe I should do something for her...
"Hime?"
"Oh Virgo! That was fast,"
"I finished what you asked for and here is your armor," Virgo passed me a set of armor to me. It looked awesome in my opinion.
"Now hime, just concentrate on your power and wear that armor,"
"Hai!" I closed my eyes and generated my power together. I felt my magic circulating in my body and a burst of light exploded in me. I opened my eyes and I was wearing my armor. I was wearing a tight, short and revealing green top with mint trimmings, exposing my stomach, upper chest and my back since my top barely covered it. But, it had an awesome hood at the back. I sported on a green hot pants also known as short shorts alongside mint ornamentation on it. A coffee brown belt with a metallic gold buckle hangs on my hips which fastens it. However, the left side of the pants were short while hardly covering my butt. The right side of the pants were long and reached until my knee-high black socks with green and mint edges. I wore dark brown high-heeled boots and my hands were wrapped with hard black buckled fingerless gloves. Not to brag, but I looked fabulous!
"Thank you so much Virgo!"
"Anything for you hime,"
"If that's the case, to return the favor, I am willing to do anything you want me to,"
"Anything?"
"Yup!"
"Then punish me hime,"
"Eh?"
"Yes hime. I just want to be punished,"
"Ok well...your punishment is to...clean my room when I go for my quest...?" I suggested as I know Virgo had done alot for me, and I don't know want to make her suffer.
"Very well hime. I shall do it as punishment after you leave your house," Virgo disappeared and I scratched my head. Are punishments even that satisfying for her? I would have expected Virgo to ask me for some favors that are similar to mine. Oh well. What has been done can't be undone. I walked out the bathroom and hanged my towel. I approached my drying wires and realised that Virgo did changed it. It wasn't a dress anymore. It was a slightly deep V-line strapless top with a few tiny feathers stuck on the sides of the neckline. It had a appealing combination of green and mint. In addition to the modified outfit, I had a pair of long figure-hugging pants secured by a simple brown belt. My gloves were brown just like my boots and fingerless as well. The whole attire looked cute. Virgo sure did a great job with Aries and Capricorn.
I smiled brightly and took off all the clothes off the drying wires. It dried quicker than I expected though. I folded them and placed them on my bed, right next to Lector and Frosch who was playing with each other. Now that I mentioned it, they said Rogue went out to get some grub. Then where was Sting? I hunted my whole apartment which didn't took long since my apartment wasn't that big. Hmm... Where could that pervert be? Did he went out to look for Rogue? Or was he just outside, hitting on his onlooking fangirls? I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I should just ask Lector,
"Lector?" I knelt down on the floor to match our eyesight level.
"Yes Lucy-san?"
"Do you know where Sting is? He isn't hiding to prank me right?"
"He isn't. Sting told me he went out to find Rogue,"
"Hmm...How long has Sting and Rogue been gone?"
"Ever since you went to shower,"
"Lucy-san, Frosch is getting worried. Will Rogue and Sting be alright?" Frosch stumbled towards me in his lovable frog costume.
"Of course Rogue and Sting would be alright! They are the strong duo dragon slayers!" Lector gave Frosch an irratated glare and I dropped a sweat. He's just like Sting.
"Frosch thinks so too!"
"How about we go outside to search for them? So you two won't be worried,"
"Hai Lucy-san!" Lector jumped into my arms and I picked up Frosch. We went out the door and wandered all over the place. Where are they? They couldn't have went that far. I sighed and was about to give up when a brunette and a blonde girl pushed me aside.
"Oops sorry! We didn't mean to do that!" The brunette helped me up as I checked Lector and Frosch for any injuries.
"It's okay-"
"Kimiko! Hurry up or we'll miss them!" The blonde girl pulled the brunette away as they rushed off to a huge crowd of girls. What was all the commotion all about?
"Lucy-san, what's going on over there?" Lector knocked on my breastplate and pointed towards the crowd. Wait my breastplate? Oh yeah...I was still wearing my armor...No wonder guys kept on winking at me before...If I changed right now, I would be in a towel...Looks like I have no choice right now...
"I don't know but let's go check it out," I put on my hood and silently followed the girls. I snuck behind the crowd and confirmed my suspicions. Sting and Rogue sat on a table while munching on bean buns. I knew those idiots were up to no good. I took a step forward but was violently pushed back as more fangirls hurried to catch a sight of the morons.
"It's Rogue and Sting!"
"Sting is so hot!"
"Rogue looks so cool!" The words of the fangirls made me feel like I want to puke. They clearly don't know what Rogue and Sting are really like. Especially Sting. I paced away from the crowd and hid myself near the area. I arched my back a little to the side to hear what was happening.
"Sting-kun! Would you be my boyfriend?"
"No! He'll be my boyfriend!"
"No way! He should be with me!" I clenched my fists tightly and gritted my teeth at what Sting's fangirls said. No. Sting would never date someone he doesn't know at all. If anything, he should be my boyfriend! I have information about his favourite food, his skills and a bunch of other stuff! He even gave me a freaking necklace! An ice stone to be exact! It should have costed him alot of jewels! And he tried to rape in my own home! Although I didn't liked it, but still! Sting gave me an indirect kiss to my lips too! Wait...What the hell is wrong with me?! Why should Sting be my boyfriend?! He's just a pervert! He doesn't like me either! Then again there was the necklace...Whatever! I do not like Sting!
"Ladies please, Rogue and I are trying to have a peaceful breakfast here," Sting spoke and winked at the fangirls which made them go even wilder.
"Sting-kun!"
"Can I have your autograph Rogue?"
"Please be my boyfriend Sting!" That's it! I am not going to stand by and watch this shit continue! I felt steam coming out of my palms and released Lector and Frosch onto the ground. I stomped angrily towards Sting and Rogue and slammed the table, so hard that I actually broke it. Wow. This new Angel magic rocks!
"So this was where you two were hiding huh?" I gave them an angry smile and clasped my fingers behind my back, trying to restrain myself from knocking both of them out. Mostly Sting but Rogue made Frosch worried too.
"What the fuck was that for?! Are you looking for a fight girl?!" Sting shouted at me furiously and I couldn't help but snickered a little. They didn't recognized me because of my armor and hood.
"A fight? Of course not. I was simply trying to bring back the idiots who ran off without their cats and making me search for them, just so their cats wouldn't worry!" I retaliated back as Lector and Frosch came running towards Rogue and Sting, jumping into their arms.
"Wait a second. How would you know of Lector and Frosch?" I scowled as Sting stood up and gripped my jaw tightly.
"Lucy? Damn you look...hot," Sting licked his lips and I bit mine. Don't get fluster Lucy! You must hold it in! Just hold it in! Once we get some alone time, then I'll let it go.
"Why thank you for thinking that but right now, both of you have some business to clear up. And I mean both of you," I turned towards Rogue and gave him a death stare which made him flinch. I grabbed Sting and Rogue and was about to make our way off when the stupid crazy fangirls halted us.
"Hold on! We don't know who you are mysterious lady, but we are not letting you pass us with Sting and Rogue!"
"Who do you think you are trying to keep them for youself!"
"Yeah! What she said!"
"Well Lucy it looks like your plan to get Rogue and I back is backfiring," Sting smirked as I pushed them away from me. I glared menacingly at the fangirls and summoned my angelic bow behind my back.
"What are you going to do now huh? You are weak against all of us at once," I widened my eyes as a fangirl with jet-black hair who stood right in front of me and pointed.
"Weak? I'm afraid not," I smiled devilishly and prepared to attack.
"What are you waiting for then? Attack me-"
"Angelic Stinger!" I pulled back my bow and fired a powerful attack which according to the book of spells that I have, should pierce through my enemies and cause high damage. I purposely shot my attack just an inch away from her neck, to scare her which I did. My attack instead destroyed the land behind her, cutting the trees in half and rubbles of stone collected all over the place. Fortunately the other fangirls took notice and managed to dodge it. The raven-haired fangirl soon ran away to her other fangirl friends as they made way for me.
"Anyone else?" All the fangirls shook their heads vigorously as I grinned widely to myself. My plan was a success.
"Alright! Sting? Rogue? You ready?"
"S-sure," I giggled and grabbed both Sting and Rogue's hands. I pulled them away from the situation and proceeded to my apartment. I kicked my house door opened and freed Sting and Rogue.
"Now that we are all in peace and quiet, I need a favor to ask from you guys,"
"Depends on what type of favor you are asking," Rogue picked up Frosch as Sting jumped onto my bed.
"Could you guys go on a quest with me? Please?" Rogue stared at me blankly and Sting perked his head up.
"A quest?"
"Yup. It's actually going to be my final quest as a official guild member of Fairy Tail so I thought I would pick a quest with high rewards which means it would difficult. I don't really want to do it alone so would you guys please go on a quest with me? I can even split the rewards," I begged them both while they exchanged glances with each other.
"Um, alright. We'll help you,"
"Yes! Thank you guys so much!"
"Now if you need me, I'll be taking another shower in the bathroom as I am dirty now thanks to you," I gave Rogue a sorry look and he went off to the bathroom with Frosch. I sighed and sat on the floor right beside my bed, hoping I would not be disturbed by the blonde flirt on the bed. Unfortunately I was.
"So what made you dress all sexy like that?" Sting rolled onto his sides and smirked at me. No, don't fall for it Lucy! Sting's just playing with you!
"Nothing made me dress like this. This is my new battle armor, for me to use when fighting,"
"Aww, I thought you dressed sexy to impress me,"
"What?! I would never do that. Besides, you already got your fangirls to do that anyways," I crossed my arms and averted my gaze to the side. What the hell am I saying?
"Partly true. Sometimes some of them dress flinky and look hot too,"
"As I suspected,"
"But I'm not interested in them. They may look good but not as alluring as you," I bit the insides of my cheeks and took in a few small breaths. Don't you dare fall for his tricks Lucy! He's a player!
"Thank you for your compliments and maybe next time you want to flirt with girls, bring Lector along. He was worried about you and wanted to find you really badly,"
"Heh? But Lucy-san you were the one who wanted to find Sting in the first place-" I hastily covered Lector's mouth and felt a shadow engulfed me from behind.
"So Lucy, you were worried about me?" I gulped and turned around slowly.
"I-I wasn't! I-I was j-just wondering!" Sting knelt down and my instincts told me to not get close to him. Lector ran away from me and I crawled backwards until my back clashed against the wall. Sting blocked my exits with his muscular hands and leaned in, holding my body down.
"Just admit Lucy, you like me don't you?" I felt him whisper in my ear, sending vibes to my heart.
"N-No I don't! A-All y-you do to me is p-play with m-my feelings! Y-You t-think this is f-funny don't you?!"
"Play with your feelings? Why would I do that? You were the one who started the whole flirting thing so I decided that I should have some fun too. And honestly, I am pleased with the results so far," My cheeks were roasting hot as Sting demolished me with his soft electric blue eyes.
"W-Well why don't you do this fun thing with your fangirls?! You seem to enjoy it when they asked you to be their boyfriend! Maybe you even enjoy them more than me-" I covered my mouth when I realised what I said. The blush on my cheeks burnt through my skin as I tried to hide it with my fingers.
"My my, looks like someone here is jealous. But don't worry, you don't have to be anymore,"
"What do you mean-" I was cut off when Sting clashed his lips against mine. The warmth of his mouth sent currents through my veins. I couldn't help but threw my arms around his neck, locking my grasp and deepening this everlasting moment. I lost myself in the sensual orculation while Sting used his dominace over me to entwine his tongue with mine. I summitted to him as he worked his hands around my body, playing victim to my master. We released each other from our newly-born love, panting heavily for breath to resume the next session. Sting continued down my neck, planting butterfly kisses. I flinched when Sting's delicate lips made contact with my soft spot above my collar bone, despearately signalling him to pounce on it. Sting licked my soft spot, preparing it for the attack. He pecked me and soon devoured me like a predator after it's prey. I moaned slightly and heard Sting snickered. He bit my soft spot, leaving a hickey and officially marking his territory. Sting pushed himself up, placing his forehead against mine. I smiled softly as he held my hands and intertwined his fingers with mine.
"Do you know why I gave you that necklace?" Sting asked me and I licked my lips which was slightly out of moisture from all the bussing.
"Because you wanted to thank me?"
"Because you will always be in my heart, just like how the necklace says," Sting lifts up my locket and placed my hands on them. I giggled and cuddled with him for awhile before setting off to prepare for next journey. I packed my belongings and clothes into a brown backstrap bag and used my magic to change out of my armor into my modified Celestial Spirit World clothes or travelling clothes from now on since this outfit is so adorable! Rogue finished his showering and fortunately didn't heard anything when he was. We all got ready and Virgo arrived early for her 'punishment'.
"Okay, first we all have to go to Fairy Tail. Please promise me you guys won't get into any fights," Sting, Rogue and I went out my apartment and I explained our routine for today.
"I won't,"
"Thanks Rogue. Sting?" I asked Sting and gave him the soft puppy eyes.
"Fine, but if any of the guys in there are going to touch you especially Natsu-"
"He won't and I'll make sure of it. So, you guys ready?"
"Ready Lucy-san!"
"Frosch thinks so too!"
"What the cats said," I grinned and we were off to Fairy Tail.
Explanation Time:
I know this chapter was supposed to be released last week but I had major family matters that occured.
During the first week, my cousin gave birth to a healthy baby girl and my family wanted to spend some time with her.
On the second week, my 14 year old brother had painful chest pains specifically his heart and unfortunately he was admitted to the hospital. This incident made me go really upset as I was really worried of my brother's condition. He just came back today and hopefully he won't be sent back.
Bad News:
It's school time for me next week which means I won't be able to update on schedule as much but I'll try my best to find some spare time to make the new because 2015 is going to be an important year for me and my education.
I'm sorry if I sound slightly depressed because I'm still am from what happened to my brother even though he is home. I'm still worried that his chest pains might get worse and everything.
Don't worry, I'm not giving up on this story. It's just that it will take longer than how usual fanfictions are updated.
I'll see you guys in next chapter which I pray would not have any setbacks this time.
Bye (~._.)~
