Chapter 10:

"I don't understand why you never listen to me" Rogue said crossing his arms as he walked with each step making a loud thud on the concrete ground, "I told you about thirty minutes ago that we were supposed to be already there, now we're going to be late."

Right at the moment, Rogue was beyond both annoyed and irritated by the White Dragon Slayer. It was true that he had told Sting to get himself ready but of course, during the time he was supposed to be getting ready, he was lounging comfortably on the couch.

Sting clasped his hands behind his neck as he rolled his eyes, "Relax, I don't think they're going to kill us if we're late just by a couple of minutes. It's not like Levy's going anywhere."

Rogue then shot a glare towards the White Dragon Slayer who just snickered in response. It was quite obvious to Sting that his comrade had some sort of interest in the script mage since he wouldn't really be seen with other female socializing but her half the time. He muffled his laughs behind his hand as he just intensely stared at the Shadow Dragon Slayer with goofiness twinkling in his eyes.

"Hey I'm not the only one who's taken a sudden interest in my idol's love interest" Rogue said as he rolled his eyes with his regular nonchalant expression, "You're the one that's angering Natsu-san since you keep trying to take the celestial mage from him."

A grin curled on Sting's lips as he stretched his arms to the side of him, "Oh well, it's a matter of time before blondie comes to her senses and comes running into my arms."

Rogue sweat-dropped as Sting, began going on and on about his plans for the future with the celestial mage. He looked around at his surroundings and noticed that they were only a few feet away from the guild and he couldn't be happier than ever. Even though him and Sting were best friends, he just wanted to get away from him as quick as possible due to his never-ending bickering.

"Alright we're about to attend now" Rogue said as he placed his hand against the wooden doors giving Sting an emotionless expression, "Just don't screw things up."

"Relax I'll be on my best behavior!"

Rogue let out one more sigh as he finally pushed open the doors of Fairy Tail as it revealed the guild hall which was piled and literally packed with all the mages from the main guilds. It was filled with everyone drinking, dancing, laughing, and socializing; just having a good time.

At this moment, the Shadow Dragon Slayer found this to be an opportunity to make a run for it from his comrade. He looked back at Sting who was gazing around the hall as he soon then disappeared into his shadow and went right into the crowd of people leaving a confused Sting looking around for him.

-Sting's POV-

Of course Rogue just left me here at the entrance looking like an idiot. Knowing him, he probably ran off to go talk to Gajeel-san and the little blue-haired script mage. And then he begins arguing with me whenever I bring it up. Tch, no matter I guess I'll go bother Natsu-san and knowing blondie she'd be with him.

I then noticed that they were sitting at a table with some of the Fairy Tail members as well as the other guilds members. And what do you know Rogue was actually sitting over there right next to Levy and Gajeel. It figures that he'd be over there anyway.

I began to make my over there and I could already tell that other guilds would be quite surprised to find out that the "Great Sting" has quit Sabertooth to join Fairy Tail. But before I could even do that the people that I least expected to be here stopped me.

I let out a sigh of annoyance, out of all people I could bump into at a guild party these two had to be the ones. I knew they weren't really too happy to see me either, but if they weren't than why would they even bother in getting in my way?

"What do you want Orga, and Rufus? Can't you see I'm busy right now and I don't really feel like dealing with anything that concerns Sabertooth anymore?"

Orga chuckled as he crossed his arms, "I knew the Lady was right about you quitting for the trash guild. But it didn't mean that you had to quit so suddenly without giving us any warning that you were going to. I mean the Lady seemed to be quite fond of you, so she has requested that we ask you if you would like to return."

"As I remember, we were quite good friends" Rufus said as he adjusted his mask, "We share tons of memories together when we would all go out on those missions. Fun wasn't it? Why don't you just come back and we can all relive those moments again-"

"Thanks but no thanks" I said firmly as walk right through them as my shoulder brushed past them, "There's no way I'm going back to Sabertooth after that happened.

Rufus turned his head around crossing his arms, "I remember the Lady said she would make an exception for that event if you come back. All of those events memories would be pushed aside, just like that."

"Even though you kind of ran away from your problems" Orga added.

I gripped my fists as my teeth gritted against each other. What didn't Rufus and Orga get? There was no way in hell I was going back to Sabertooth after that thing happened… I could never forgive myself on what I had done to Yukino.

"My answer is final" I said as I swiftly turned my head around to face Orga and Rufus, "I'm not ever going to step foot again into that guild. And now, this is where I'm going to take my leave since I'm supposed to be somewhere right now."

I then turned around with my back facing them as I continued walking towards the table blondie was sitting at. Memories of that event began flashing in my mind which made my cause myself to let out a deep breath. There's no way, I'd ever go back to Sabertooth after that.

"He'll come around Orga" Rufus said with a smirk curled onto his lips, "As I recall, it takes time for one to think things through."

-Normal POV-

"Oi, blondie" Sting said as he took a seat next to Lucy sneaking his arm around her shoulder, "What're we all talking about here?"

Of course, an over-protective Natsu didn't like the sight he was seeing right now. Especially, since the White Dragon Slayer had his arm wrapped around the celestial mage's shoulder.

"Oh hello Sting" Mira said with a cheerful smile curled onto her lips, "We were just talking about a job Erza wants to take tomorrow with your team. It's actually great that you've come to sit down since you're practically a part of Team Natsu, and you must be notified about these kind of things."

The Trimens from Blue Pegasus looked at each other wide eyed at the sight that they were seeing. They never would've thought that Sting Eucliffe would ever have his arm wrapped around the celestial mage's shoulder due to the guild's rivalries.

"So tell me, are you two what you call a thing!" Hibiki said taking a sip from his water.

"Something like that" Sting said with a smirk pasted on his lips as he turned to face Natsu who looked like he was almost about ready to just fling at him with all force.

Lucy smiled sheepishly as she finally spoke up, "No we're just comrades. You see Sting had just joined Fairy Tail not too long ago. But let's just say that Natsu and Gray really haven't gotten off at a good start with him, unlike Rogue. So Erza makes us take jobs together to help our bonding or something."

"Yeah but Luce is not interested in him if that's what you're asking" Natsu added in with as he gave Lucy a toothy grin which made her cheeks flush up in pink.

"Hey, but a little competition can't hurt" Cana said as she began to chug down her mug of booze, "It makes things quite heated now doesn't it? Especially with these little jobs of yours"

Erza nodded her head as she speared a piece of her strawberry cake, "Yes, I find that the more jobs we go on the more bonding time we will all have."

"That is if the morons don't kill each other" Laxus commented as he snickered at the thought of Erza having to place punishment on them since they'd be bickering at each other the entire time.

"Doesn't mean I'll accept the fact you're part of my team though" Natsu said as he crossed his arms glaring daggers at me. He then gripped Sting's arm that was around Lucy's shoulder and smacked it right back at him which soon made him raise an eyebrow in response.

"And it'd be best if you keep your hands off Luce" Natsu added with a growl in his throat.

"I'm sorry I don't speak idiot" Sting said with a sarcastic grin as he placed his arm around blondie's shoulder once again, "And you don't hear her complaining about it now do you?"

"You both are idiots don't forget that's why both can understand each other clearly." Gray said with a snicker which earned a loud howl of laughter coming from both, Gajeel and Laxus, as well as a giggling Wendy who had her hand over her mouth to muffle her laughter.

"Shut it stripper!" Natsu and Sting said in unison as they glared at the ice-mage who still had a smirk pasted onto his lips. Now that was something Sting and Natsu had in common; they both couldn't stand the ice-mage's smart remarks.

Lucy then waved her hands trying to break up the argument, "Hey, we shouldn't be fighting right now. It's a party anyways and I don't even know why we are all sitting down, we should be out there dancing and stuff!"

A mischievous grin then crept onto Natsu's lips as he then raised Gray's arm up, "And Gray here would love to dance with Juvia! Come on out Juvia wherever you are this is a once and a life time offer! Get your Gray while he's forced against his will."

"Gray-sama" Juvia said as she clasped her hands together with a big smile implanted on her lips, "Let's go dance out there!"

"I'll dance with you Juvia-chan!" Lyon said as he placed a hand against his chest while he raised his other arm in the air.

"Dancing isn't really my thing" Gray said as he rubbed the back of his head. He really didn't feel like having to deal with his obsessive fan girl but he didn't want to just turn her down in front of everyone. Decisions he had to make, especially since he had a little interest in the celestial mage.

"Aw is Gray a little chicken" Ultear teased as she placed a hand on her cheek, "Looks like you have an eye for someone else if you don't feel like dancing with Juvia."

"No I just don't feel like dancing" Gray said defensively which made Ultear raise an eyebrow with a smirk curling up on her lips. She knew that the ice-mage was seriously trying to cover up the fact that he really did have a little love interest. She thought it'd be a little interesting if she revealed it.

"Oh come on, Gray we all know you have an interest for Lucy and don't deny it" Ultear said with a wink as all jaws dropped due to her statement. Now Gray's face was completely pale as his eyes turned to Sting and Natsu who had their arms crossed. But the person right now that looked the most pissed off was none other than Juvia.

"Love rival?" Juvia said as she tilted her head creepily towards the celestial mage who was biting her bottom lip. She really had no idea that Gray had this interest in her, and she wasn't prepared physically to be dealing with the wrath of the water mage.

"J-Juvia" Lucy said with widened eyes as she watched the water mage walk up to her slowly as they soon heard the loud pouring on rain coming from outside. She then noticed that Juvia made the water in her glass mug shatter it completely. That's when Lucy knew that Juvia was really was pissed off to know that her beloved Gray-sama had an interest in her love rival.

"Juvia thinks Gray-sama loves Love-rival. Juvia can't accept this."

As Juvia was about to raise her hand, Gray then placed a hand on her shoulder with a stern expression on his face. She turned her head to see the ice mage letting out a sigh which made her narrow her eyes at him.

"I need to talk to you" Gray said with a nonchalant expression, "Now."

Juvia bit her bottom lip as she nodded her head in response. Gray then turned around and began to walk as she soon followed behind where they soon disappeared into the distance.

"That stripper better not try anything with Luce" Natsu said with his arms crossed, "One bastard is enough to deal with since I don't feel like dealing with another pain in the ass."

"You took the words right out of my mouth Natsu-san" Sting said as he stared into the distance that Gray and Juvia had walked off too. He felt that Gray was probably going to tell Juvia about his non-feelings for her since she'd always be so obsessive on someone who clearly doesn't have the same connection.

An awkward atmosphere was around the table until Cana finally broke the silence as she slammed her mug on the table slightly spilling a little of her booze. A tint of blush filled her cheeks as she hiccupped before finally opening her mouth.

"Now then *hic* let's proceed *hic* on this drinking contest!"

Natsu and Sting then looked at each other competitively as they soon smacked their foreheads against each other creating a static of electricity between them. They knew that they were going to show each other who the best dragon slayer from the two of them was.

"I'm telling you my hair is salmon not pink!" Natsu said drowsily as he took another sip of his booze before letting out another hiccup, "But I wouldn't mind if people said it was pink, since people say pink is manly."

Sting nodded his head as he gulped down his booze, "I see where you're coming from Natsu-san. It's clearly salmon though, so I don't know why Happy hasn't eaten it yet. Salmon is a fish right?"

Lucy sweat dropped at the dragon slayers who seemed like they had drank just a little too much and even Cana was already passed out on the counter which was really shocking since the last person that had beaten her was Bacchus.

"Luucccy" Natsu slurred as his lips curled into a toothy grin, "Do you want to eat a salmon that's growing on my head?"

"Who would want to eat a salmon that's literally growing out of your head" Sting snickered as he took another long sip out of his mug before he let out a loud hiccup, "I think she'd be better eating the salmon that's growing on my head."

"You have blonde hair Sting" Lucy added with a smile as the White Dragon Slayer then looked some-what disappointed that his hair wasn't counted as salmon like Natsu's. He let out a long sigh as Natsu just began cracking up in laughter.

"They must be really screwed up right now" Laxus chuckled as he watched Natsu and Sting act as if they were cats just like Happy and Lector. They literally stood up on the table and jumped right off it with their stomach facing the ground and their arms spread as if they thought they were going to grow wings right there.

Even Happy was wide-eyed at the way the Fire Dragon Slayer was acting. He really didn't think that his comrade had drank far more than Cana to be this messed up right now. He then let out a sigh as he picked Natsu up in the air.

"I guess I'll be taking Natsu home since he doesn't look like he can walk much" Happy said with a grin as he shook his head at Natsu who was making dragon noises.

"Same here with Sting-kun" Lector said as he picked up Sting who was roaring like a dragon, "He's out of it as well. I'm going to be taking him home, and I'm sure you're going to bring this up to Sting-kun tomorrow right Fairy-san?"

Lucy smiled at Lector and nodded her head in response. The two exceeds then waved at her before they flew out the guild doors carrying their drunken partners in their hands. Those dragon slayers were quite lucky to have two cats that would literally sprout wings and carry them around just like that.

Lucy stood at the door way of the guild with her arms crossed and a smile curled onto her lips. Even though those two would be competitive with each other, they were awfully quite alike which made her understand why she felt happy around both if them. She then noticed that Mira was standing right in back of her with a mischievous grin implanted on her lips as if she was thinking of something unplanned.

"You know I really thought you were going to be sleeping with one of them tonight!"

"MIRA!"
