Author's Note- So I should tell you guys that I type all of this on my phone, so please excuse any typos I make! It is really hard to proofread this stuff. And sorry for the late update, my phone has charging problems.

I don't in any form own Fairy Tail.


As he walked back to his inn, Sting's mind worked overtime.

Lucy Heartfilia.

Sting would never have believed that a girl's name would mean so much to him, ever. But this particular blonde had managed to seep under his skin.

He supposed it all started when he saw her with Natsu before the games. The man's scent was all over her, and he had instantly assumed that she was his. But then the competition came. He wanted to defeat Natus in everything, and she came in by extension. As he started to plan how to approach her, he started observing her.

The first thing he noticed was the she was beautiful. Very. And with curves like her's, it was a miracle that she was not surrounded by males left, right and centre. Her face had delicate beauty, and everything she did was graceful. Her very being spoke of high society, from her magic to her poise. So Sting did his research. Yukino came handy, since she practically hero-worshiped the blonde mage. And boy was it a shocker.

Lucy Heartfilia was the daughter of Jude Heartfilia the man who had singlehandedly started and for a long time controlled one of the most major companies in the entire Fiore- Heartfilia Konrzern. And so the pieces clicked in place. But the most shocking fact was that the girl had in fact run away from her home to join Fairy Tail. And apparently the reason for the Phantom War against Fairy Tail had been her. The guild had abducted her to milk her father for all he was worth, only to be defeated by Fairy Tail. But that was not all.

She had been abducted again by the Reformed Oración Seis (the girl got abducted a lot) a dark guild convinced to end the world. Yukino didn't know the details of what had happened, but she had been saved by her guild (again). Apart from the fact that it was really easy to capture her (what did they lure her with? Candy?) he found out that she was a fighter. When she had been captured by Phantom Lord, she had kicked the guild master between his legs (ouch, Lucy was brutal) and had talked back to Gajeel when he had been making mince meat of her.

She had balls, Sting granted her that.

He wasn't very impressed by her performance against Raven Tail. Like sure he noticed that her magic was really powerful (and okay fine, it was so COOL! She made stars and planets appear out of nowhere!) but she lost. The only time Sting had been unable to look away was when she had brought out her twin spirits. He had almost drooled at her in a tiny towel. Sadly, she lost. But the Naval Battle left an impression on him. The girl didn't know the meaning of giving up. Her speech was really something (yeah, faires knew how to speak. First the dragonslayers now her) and Sting hung on to every word. While then he had scoffed at the girl, even laughed at her, he had later realised that what she had done many had failed. She had endured Minerva.

He couldn't show it, but he was impressed by Lucy Heartfilia. And somewhere, he was even intrigued by her. And he had practically jumped in joy when he had found out she was single, and that was before the Naval Battle.

He had approached her in the party for a reason. The only thing he regretted was that he had been drunk. Otherwise he wouldn't have marker her. She looked just so innocent, with her big eyes starting up at him with wonder. But he could smell Natsu all over her. And he hadn't liked that one bit.

Her skin had been like silk, and her lips satin. She had tasted sweet, just so delectable. He couldn't resist her. Even now, it had taken everything he had to not just ravish her in front of the other two dragonslayers. And she was teasing him! Wearing such tiny shorts should be a crime.

He wanted her, it was driving him crazy. She was driving him crazy. He lost his mind when he saw her, and smelt the other three dragonslayers on her. And his mind went blank the moment he noticed the others near her. Instincts took over, instincts which told him to tear the others apart with his bare hands.

Sting sighed and shifted his course. He needed help.

As he had sat at the guild, a tiny blue-haired girl had approached him. "So Sting, we finally meet." He stared at her, and she back at him. "Um, hi? I don't know who you are." The girl smirked and joined him at the table. The way she had gazed at him had sent shivers down his spine. "Yeah, I know. I am Levy, Lu-chan's best friend." The woman was becoming more and more intimidating by the minute. Somehow her words sounded like a threat. "Oh, who's Lu-chan?"

"Lucy." She said simply, a sickly sweet smile spreading across her face. He gulped. "Lucy! Right. So what did you want?"

"Really, I only came here to tell you two things. First is simple. Hurt Lu-chan in ANY way and I'll set Gajeel on you." If possible, her smile because even bigger. From the background, Sting heard Rogue asking the bartender for Lucy's address. He nodded at the tiny mage in front of him, scared. Were all the women in Fairy Tail scary? Apart from blondie of course, she was sweet.

"Understood? Good. Second is that I live in Fairy Hill, second floor, third window from the entrance by on the left." Sting gaped at her, shocked. "And why will I need to know that?" He asked her. "You'll know soon, now don't you want to follow Rogue to Lucy's house?" How did she know!?

Sting will never understand women.

As his feet took him towards the terrifying albeit tiny girl's scent, he gaped at the building in front of him. It was a girl's hostel! And as he smelled another scent, a shiver ran down his spine.

If that monster of a woman (Titiana) found him, he was dead.

As he was directed, Sting jumped to the third window from the left and perched himself on the window sill. Steeling himself, he knocked on the window. "About time. I thought you got lost." The window opened and Sting jumped in.

The room was full of books, books and more books. The only place to sit which was free was a chair. The bed was littered with books (surprise!) with the tiny girl sitting on in with another female.

The girl was the guild's resident drunk (it was really something since half the guild was always drunk) "Heya Sting! I am Cana." He simply waved at her, still in shock due to the insane amount of books in the room. "So Sting, why have you come?" Levy asked him.

Getting down to business, Sting sat down on the empty chair. "I need your help."

"Yeah, I understood that. That is why I invited Cana too. She can help us." The girl smiled at him, waving an empty bottle in the air. "So, how can we help you?" She asked Sting.

"I want Lucy. I want her to choose me."


Natsu couldn't believe it. Lucy has shoved him out. He stared at the door, half waiting for Lucy to open it again. Unlike her usual self, this time Lucy hadn't been angry at him. She hadn't even kicked him. Somehow her blank expressionless voice and face affected him more than her angry self. It showed him that she took it seriously, unlike her irritation when he was joking around with her. He gave up and started descending the stairs.

Usually he loved riling her up, because she gave the best reactions. Her stupefied face was the best although he hadn't seen it in a long time. Sadly she has gotten so used to his and Happy's antics that she didn't even get surprised anymore. But her anger was good enough for Natsu. Because then her eyes got fiery with rage and her cheeks became pink and flushed.

He didn't remember much from the night before, but what he did remember he didn't like. Lucy had smelled very different than what he was used to, and for a moment he had thought she was an imposter. But underneath all the other scent's, he had smelled her sweet aroma. Even now, everytime he breathed around her, all he got was Sting, Rogue, Laxus and himself. Her smell was faint, very faint.

Unbidden, the image of Lucy wrapped in her towel with water drops running down her body came to his mind. Never in his entire life had the visage of Lucy looked so inviting to Natsu. He didn't understand what had happened to him, but the vision had rendered him speechless. His mouth had gone dry, and a sudden urge to run his tongue down her curves had taken over him. But he knew Lucy won't appreciate the gesture and had kept his hands (and tongue) to himself.

Why though? Why had these urges even come to him at all? He answered his own question. The mark, it had to be the reason. His feelings and urges had to be because he had marked her. But then what was that fire he had felt inside himself when he had seen Lucy? It wasn't something he was used to; different than his normal fire.

That fire had driven him to kick Happy out, it had demanded that he be alone with Lucy. It had died down when she had offered him food, only to resurface when he saw her cooking for him.

He couldn't control himself anymore and gave himself up to his instincts. And he was glad he did, because when he had pressed his lips against her collarbone, he had got the whiff of the most amazing scent he had ever smelt in his life. A sweet aroma which he had wanted to taste had come from the lower region of Lucy. But then those two came and spoilt everything. He had smelt them before she had even left him, and his body had tensed up.

Later they had been serious when they too had staked their claim on Lucy. Somehow he lost all control over his body and his instincts took over. But then Lucy stepped in. The rage he had felt at the two calmed down when she touched him, but came right back up when he saw she was touching Rogue too, and had her eyes on Sting.

Although nothing compared to when Lucy shoved him out.

Sighing, he went inside his home and was surprised to see Happy, since he had gone to Carla. "You came back so soon?" He asked the exceed. Happy sniggered and flew into the next room. Curious, Natsu followed.

Sitting on a chair was Erza with a book in her hand. Gray was lying on his bed with his eyes closed. And Happy was sitting on the table. "Ice Princess! Erza! What are you both doing here? And oi! Get off my bed, I don't want it defiled by your presence." Scoffing, Gray sat up. "As if. Your bed will be happy, finally having someone decent lying on it."

"You wanna go, Snow Queen?"

"Yeah sure Pyromaniac!"

"SILENCE."

The two tensed up and glanced at the requip mage. She was glaring at them. "So, um, what are you doing here?" Natsu finally asked.

"I brought them!" Happy replied to Natsu cheerfully. "Why?" He asked the cat. "Well, Carla got bored and shooed me out. So I came back to Lucy's and peeked into the window to see what you all were up to. And then I saw that Sting and Rogue were there with you! And you were glaring at them. I thought maybe you might need to be calmed down by the time you came home, because you looked pissed. So who better than Erza? But we met Gray on the way back."

"Natsu, what happened?" Erza inquired. Sighing, Natsu slumped down on a chair. "Sting and Rogue came to visit Lucy. Then she asked then to stay for dinner. And then I lost it and told them to go away."

Erza, Gray and Happy stared at him, dumbfounded. Finally, Gray spoke up. "You know Flamebrain, telling them to shove it in front of Lucy is not a good idea. They were her guests, not yours. I am sure they were far more courteous than you."

"I don't know anything about that, but they did say that they won't give up. Then Lucy kicked us all out." Gray face palmed while Erza's mouth became a thin line. "All of you will make her go mad." Gray commented.

Then Natsu had an idea. Clearly Erza and snow cone knew something about how her mind worked.

"You guys have a better idea about all of this than I do. Can you help me?"


Ah, so all of the guys have help! And that was the hint I had dropped in chapter 4. The girls respectively comment on the guys when Lucy narrates.

jhdavis1103- Ah RoLu is love, RoLu is life! And I thought it would be more fun if Gajeel and Levy argue over who gets Lucy. Hehehe...

Hope you guys liked it! Thanks for the favourites and follows! Remember, reviews are love!

Ciao.
