LAST PAIRING BEFORE I GET STARTED ON THE AUCTION!

To be honest, it feels like the end of an era here...TT^TT

I'm gonna miss making all of the characters embarrassed...

But onto the main part!

i was asked some q's by one of my friends about the Rokino chapter. Just so

you know, that happened before Chapter One.

a) sorry about how short the previous chapter was, and

b) this is gonna be stinerva!

I don't own Fairy Tail, just as an FYI.


Minerva POV

Damn it all.

I hate night.

Let me explain. To save work, we all bring one subject home, so the work is cut down into a bunch of pieces for all of us.

Erza had forgotten her books. And we realized it at 8:00 PM. Genius move on our parts.

I live closest to her, and my house was also the closest to Lucy's house.

Can you connect the dots?

Genius me had walked to Lucy's house, so I had to walk back by myself.

Right. No problem.

So here I was.

The most classic horror movie mistake is that you walk down a dark alley alone.

So I'm not taking the shortcut to Erza's house. Luckily, she lent me her keys.

Hmm? There's someone here?

Are you kidding me?!

This is proof that the world is against me today.


Sting POV

Late soccer practice. Enough said.

So, here I am, walking home in the middle of the night.

And I run into Minerva.

She doesn't look happy. Rather, she looks to be on the verge of fainting.

Pale white on a person looks disgusting.

She turns around and sees me. I wave, just to show her I am no foe.

She frowns and starts walking faster.

"Hey, Minerva! Wait up!" I shout.

I try to follow her.

Weird. Now she looks sad and is in tears.

How many mood swings can a person have in one day?!

I catch up.

"Hey, Minerva. What's wrong?"

"What's not wrong, you bastard?"

Eh?

"I'm in the dark, walking home alone, being annoyed by you, and about to pee my pants

because of how frigging dark it is."

I smile.

"Are you scared of the dark?"

She immediately blushes and turns to not face me.

I may have hit a bullseye.

"Was I right?"

"Yes." Spoken in a whisper.

"Well, everyone has fears. If you want, I can walk you home."

Why did I just say that?


Minerva POV

Did the great and mighty Sting...

really just say that?

What the hell?

But, it is a good offer. And I don't like walking alone.

"Okay."

He puts his hands in his pockets and walks with me.

And now my face is on fire.

Please, God, please make him not notice.

Apparently he notices.

"Minerva, are you still scared?"

"Yeah."

He tousles my hair and gives me a half-hug.

"Calm down."

"Okay..."

Now my face is as red as Erza's hair.

I'll admit it is comforting.

I relax.

And we talk.

Just shooting the breeze.

I wish this would never end.

And I deliver the damn books.


Sting POV

This was actually kind of fun. Who knew?

She actually is fun when she relaxes.

I mean to hang out with. Nothing more.

I wonder who's gonna buy her for the auction.

I have it!

I will buy her so we could chat together. It wouldn't be weird, right?


Well?

Poor Sting doesn't realize the feelings!

Thank you for reading this chapter, and please review!

Criticism will be accepted and added, just be gentle!

Seeyas!
