AN: The chapter is shorter than planned, but I hope you still like it ^^
It's been a week since Sting and Rogue had this little talk in front of Minerva's house. Everyone had noticed that again something had changed between the two dragon slayers. Rogue had stopped ignoring Sting, while Sting stopped trying to talk with Rogue all the time.
Yukino, one of Stings best friends, was sure that something happened between the two again and wanted to know what. "Hey Sting." She greeted the blond as she sat down next to him on one of the bar strolls. "Hey Yukino. Do you want something from me or do you just want to spend some time with me?" Sting asked curious, knowing how Yukino acts when she wants to know something. "Both." She smiled at him before continuing what she wanted to say. "I wanted to know if something happened between Rogue and you. Both of you act different then you did before. I mean you actually talk from time to time." "Well we had a little talk last week and right now we have a little break from our relationship. I still want to be with him, even more now that I realised what an idiot I was for the last few month, but there is nothing I can do. So I give him time and hope that everything ends well." Sting explained, looking quite upset about their half break up.
"Sting... There is a lot you could, or better said, should do." Yukino started but was interrupted by Sting. "Nani? But I got told to leave him be." "Yeah but if you do nothing you probably will lose him. Remember he lives with Minerva right now and since they are more or less best friends she doesn't want him to get hurt by you again. This and knowing how Minerva can be, I bet that if you do nothing she will get Rogue to break up with you completely. Maybe she tells him that you don't care anymore or something like that."The white haired girl explained, looking serious. "Wow you really think Minerva would be so mean to destroy a relationship? I know she's quite mean sometimes but even Minerva isn't heartless. But I guess you are right and should do some little things. Rogues quite pessimistic and depressed sometimes and I don't want that these sides of him decide about us if he feels like I just don't care anymore."
After that the two began to plan what he could do to show Rogue that he still loves him, that he wants him back and that what he had done in the past would never happen again. It took them all most the whole day as well as the next day until the plan was complete.
The next few days everything was normal, well as normal as it could be in this guild, until the day little Frosch walked up to Rogue with a flower in his paws. "Rogue this is for you?" Frosch said and held the flower in front of Rogue. "Thank you Frosch, but why do you give me a flower?" Rogue asked curios as he took the flower, a white lily his favourite. "Because Fro was ask to give it to you." The little exceed smiled at him before running over to Lector, to escape the next question Frosch knew Rogue would ask since he was asked not to tell him, something that he would do if asked.
Rogue looked after his green friend, one eyebrow raised, confused why Frosch run away. "Your little exceed seems to be in a hurry." Minerva, who sat in front of the shadow dragon slayer, mentioned before looking at the lily in Rogue's hand. "Any idea who asked Frosch to give you the flower?" She asked and smiled a little at Rogue. "Actually yes. But I'm more interested into why I got the lily."
'I know that only Frosch and Sting know about my secret love for lilies so it could only be Sting who wanted Frosch to give it to me. But I don't understand why. All this month he more or less ignored me and knows that I want a break from him, from us, he starts getting me flowers? He really is confusing me sometimes...' The shadow dragon slayer thought while playing with flower he was holding. Minerva seemed to have noticed that he was lost in his own thought and left him alone.
AN: I try to make the next chapter longer...
