Chapter 10: Rogue the New Member!

Sting was walking down the hall of the stadium when he smelled a familiar person. He knew he should have killed him and had no mercy. The guy was a master again and his members looked just as evil as he did. They were called the Wolf Fang Guild. Jiemma smirked arrogantly at Sting. Sting stared back at him blankly.

"Well well I see you're still trying to pull off the master role? You'll lose this year. My members will slaughter your pathetic guild members in the competition," he smirked.

"We'll see about that," Sting seethed.

"Yes, we will," he chuckled walking away with his members following smirking arrogantly.

Sting scowled at them then paused when he was suddenly being smelled. He peered at the raven-haired male around his age sniffing him.

"Who was your dragon," he asked red eyes glaring at him.

"Weisslogia if you must know," he snarled back.

"The white dragon," he acknowledged.

"Yes. Who's yours? Not that I really care," he scoffed.

The male looked up at him and crinkled his nose cheeks puffing in anger and an angry pout formed.

"That's rude you know! I wasn't mean to you so don't be mean to me! You big idiot," he cried cutely.

"You glared at me," he sputtered.

"Did not! My eyes just…..My eyes….are…..scary," he sulked lowering his head.

'HOW DID JIEMMA GET SOMEONE THIS CUTE! I WANT TO STEAL HIM,' Sting roared in his mind.

He grabbed his face and made him look up and inspected his eyes. The color made sharper but they were cute. Especially with those long lashes around them.

"Hmmm. No, they're not scary they're cute," he dismissed letting his face go walking away.

The male stood stunned then brightened.

"Hey white dragon slayer," he called making him turn and his breath was taken away at how beautiful he was beaming and smiling like that. "Skiadrum was mine! I'm the shadow dragon slayer! I'm Rogue," he called.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sting," he smiled softly.

Rogue waved then scampered off.

'STEALING HIM,' Sting roared in his mind.

Rogue wasn't cruel like the other members in his guild everyone acknowledged. He looked worried when someone was badly injured even if they weren't in his guild. He played with his cute cat Frosch every chance he got. He wasn't brutal in the two on two match he had with Yukino and Minerva. He even helped them to the healing room after he had won the match with his partner. Rogue had even pounced on Gajeel grinning happily days later when they ran into each other and Gajeel hugged him laughing fondly at his little brother figure he adored. They chattered excitedly to each other then went to their teams.

"I'm going to beat you up," Rogue cheered when he and Gajeel were pinned to fight each other in a match to determine who would face off in the final round against Sabertooth.

Gajeel sputtered at him making him grin adorably and the whole stadium pondered kidnapping the shadow dragon for themselves. Gajeel ruffled his hair wildly making him snicker.

"You will not! I'm going to kick your butt you brat," he said fondly.

Sting was amazed at how strong the shadow dragon was. He had to be on pare with him. His attacks were precise and fast. Gajeel had a hard time keeping up with him because of how quick he was. Rogue let out an adorable shocked squeal when he tore him out of his shadows and began eating them.

"YOU BIG DUMMY! YOU'LL POISON YOURSELF! DUMMY! DON'T EAT MY SHADOWS! DUMMY GAJEEL," he cried cutely clearly worried about him.

"How cute," Minerva gushed as Yukino squealed and Sting laughed at the adorable insults.

Gajeel blasted him later with Iron Shadow Dragon roar.

"OH SHIT I DIDN'T MEAN TO GO THAT FAR," he screamed when Rogue screamed in pain in the sky.

"GAJEEL I'LL MURDER YOU! HOW DARE YOU HURT SOMEONE SO CUTE," Erza roared.

"WHO'S TEAM ARE YOU ON," he screeched back.

Rogue hit the ground moments later. Gajeel peered at him nervously. Rogue twitched then slowly starting getting up.

"Rogue," he said shocked as he got to his feet wobbly panting.

"I can still," he murmured shadows swirling. "I can still continue," he said lifting his head and Gajeel choked realizing what was going on.

"Stop! Your pressing your magic! You'll die," he exclaimed as blood trailed from his eyes from over use of magic.

"But I have to," he insisted stepping and his shadow drive tried to activate. "I won't lose. I'll win," he insisted.

"Rogue a match isn't worth dying over," he scolded.

"I won't have a home if I lose. I need to be able to provide for Frosch. I'll do anything to keep him happy and healthy. I won't lose. No matter what, I'll continue," Rogue cried quickening his steps and charging at him.

Gajeel dodged the punch surrounded by shadows thrown at him. Rogue stumbled from the momentum and toppled to the ground. Gajeel frowned as he started trying to get up. His body was shaking from overexertion, he started coughing blood, and he was close to having no magic left. He had pushed passed his limits on his magic. This time it would be even more dangerous if he pushed further. The ref stepped in and called time on the match.

"Winner of this match is Fairy Tail they will advance to the final due to their member being the only one standing," he announced.

Rogue gave out and tears stung his eyes.

"You did great Rogue. You're more powerful than I could imagine. I'm so proud of you," Gajeel said kneeling and petting his head. "When did my little brother grow so big huh," he teased.

"I lost though," he blubbered.

"Well that's how it's supposed to be. The big brother should always be stronger so he can protect his little brother," he smiled. "I'm sorry I haven't been there for you in ten years," he said guiltily.

"It's not your fault," he mumbled sitting up.

"Rogue you can always stay at my place. Don't worry about it. I'll take care of you," he grinned making him pout at him.

"I'm not a kid," he huffed making Gajeel laugh.

"But don't little kids cry over losing against their big brothers,' he teased.

"I WASN'T CRYNG! DIRT GOT IN MY EYES! BIG DUMMY! STUPID! IDIOT! STUPID GAJEEL," he cried blushing and the crowd laughed and squealed over his cuteness.

"Rogue," his master said appearing by them holding out his hand.

"Master," he questioned startled.

"Give me your hand I'll help you up," he smiled.

"Ok," Rogue agreed brightening giving him his hand.

"Maybe he's changed a little," Yukino said startled like the others in Sabertooth.

His hand glowed suddenly and Rogue let out a startled cry.

"You think I was serious?! I just don't want you wearing our mark a second longer you trash," he roared kneeing him in the gut. "YOU DISGRACED US! NEVER STEP FOOT IN MY GUILD AGAIN! WE DON'T NEED WEAKLINGS LIKE YOU! YOU'RE OUT! DON'T LET ME SEE YOUR PATHETIC FACE AGAIN," he roared as members appeared behind him smirking and laughing evilly, people he once called his friends.

He blasted Rogue sending him flying across the arena. Gajeel gaped at him then roared in pure rage lunging at him.

"HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU MISTREAT MY LITTLE BROTHER," he roared punching him.

"STING," Minerva cried when he went flying off the balcony and charging at his ex-master.

Natsu, Erza, Gray, Laxus, Cana, Rufus, Orga and Yukino was doing the same. They couldn't stand by and let him get away with that. Especially not when it was someone as precious as the shadow dragon slayer, he was doing it to. Lucy, Wendy, Shelia, and Minerva rushed to Rogue.

"I SHOULD HAVE ENDED YOU A LONG TIME AGO," Sting roared.

"I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY," Jiemma snarled.

It took five minutes for the fighting to stop and Wolf Fang be disqualified and kicked out. Sting went to the infirmary and frowned at the wounded dragon slayer being worked on frantically by healers. Frosch was sobbing hysterically as Lector was trying to calm him. After thirty minutes of intensive healing he was out of the woods. Sting stayed by his bedside feeling the pull he had felt for Rogue getting stronger. He wanted to take care of him and keep him safe. Sting sighed relieved hours later when red eyes peered at him.

"Rogue how are you feeling? You aren't hurting are you," he asked worried.

"No, I'm numbed up," he reassured groggily.

"That's good," Sting smiled.

Rogue stayed quiet a moment then suddenly he was sniveling and scrubbing tears. Sting panicked and wrapped his arms around him.

"What's wrong?! Do you hurt now?! Are you ok?! Should I call a nurse?!"

"I thought they were my friends. They said they liked me and we could be friends. But they let master kick me out and laughed at me. I don't understand what I did wrong," he wailed. "I just wanted a home and friends. I didn't want anything else," he sobbed.

"Rogue you did nothing to deserve that," Sting said firmly.

"How do you know? You haven't known me long," he sniffled.

"Because I can tell by how you act, you're a good person with a big heart. You don't deserve to be treated like that. If anyone ever says otherwise, I'll beat them up," he said determined. "Also, you have a home at Sabertooth if you ever decide you want to join us," he smiled.

"Thank you, Sting," he smiled as happy tears fell now.

He fell asleep moments later. Sting smiled petting his hair gently. He couldn't believe how much he adored someone he hardly knew. Then again everyone seemed to adore Rogue. He was too gentle and cute not to adore him.

Several days later they were celebrating the end of the games at the palace. It was a routine now for them to have a party there. FairyTail won this year but Sting promised his guild would win next year. He was chattering with Gajeel when a raven scampered up and wrapped around Gajeel and smiled up at him adorably. Gajeel cuddled him internally gushing over his little brother.

"Are you sure you're ok to be out of bed," Sting asked worriedly.

"Yes, the doctor said just not to push it for a while," he beamed at him.

"Well if the doctor said so then I guess it's fine. But seriously don't push it," he smiled.

"I won't," he insisted.

Sting cracked up cackling when everyone got into a fight over who was the best guild and were fighting wildly. Rogue tried to protect Gajeel in the ruckus. He squealed in pain making Sting look for him worried. He wanted to laugh at the pitiful sight but seeing the shocked tear-filled eyes he decided to help him remove the candle stick from his ass someone had so rudely shoved in it. Rogue sulked in a corner pitifully until Gajeel beat up the random wizard that did it and Sting kept spoiling him with hugs and sweets.

"So, Rogue did you find a guild you want to join," Lucy asked later when Sting had convinced him to go get a drink with him.

"Yes," he smiled.

"Who," she asked excitedly.

"Sabertooth," he cried. "SO, I CAN BEAT UP GAJEEL NEXT YEAR IN THE GAME," he cried happily.

"WHY IS THAT YOUR REASON?! ROGUE YOU'RE SO RUDE! COME HERE! I'LL GET YOU," Gajeel cried playfully and chased him around as he giggled and taunted him dodging his grabs.

"ROGUE YOU CUTE LITTLE ANGEL," everyone wailed making them pause.

"Thank you," he said giving them a big adorable smile as his eyes shined happily.

'I'M STEALING HIM,' everyone roared in their minds.

In the end Sting was the one who got to keep the cutie at his side and threatened anyone who tried to sway or kidnap Rogue from him. Rogue was his cutie from now on and no one was going to take him from him.
