The brutal truth is, it'd only be horrible if I did
Sting x Lucy

Hello fanfiction world how've you been?
That's great, sorry for the long wait but my other fandoms are begging for attention
Who ever said being a fangirl was easy?
Anyway, enjoy this chapter (made it extra long for you loveys)
Starting from the kiss in the train to now alone together in the forest, both Sting and Lucy were in for a ride of a lifetime and they don't even realize it. Oh how I love messing around with unsuspecting lovebirds, it's devilishly amusing (cue, demonic evil narrator laugh) But let's talk about my sadistic tendencies later shall we?
The next morning was fuzzy and blissful for the unsuspecting couple, when those cocoa orbs graced the world once more, it was instantly met with the ever-changing Prussian blue eyes and along came the feeling of safety swooping in her wholesome heart. They were as happy as kids in a candy shop, just having fun together because let's face it, there wasn't really much to do isolated in a forest. Be that as it may, we all know that immediate happiness doesn't last long in most plots, and sadly this story does not sway from that cliche. However, for now let's leave our main characters to their temporary heaven, they'll hit solid reality soon enough.
"That, that's impossible!" the yellow head girl stated, tucking in a golden lock behind her ear as the boy before her shuffled the three coconut husks in hyperspeed. The dragon slayer could only smirk at the girl's cute face of amazement. With arrogance and a certain need to show off especially to her, Sting increased in speed of his shuffling. Due to his sensitive dragon ears, he could hear the little earring cling clang in the middle-no, left-no, right-he just knew which husk it was in, can't say the same for the entirely lost guesser Lucy.
"You can't expect me to find it! Damn you! You knew from the start that I'd lose! I call mutiny!" The blonde beauty's holler echoed throughout the open air field, mixing with the breeze blowing through the grass ornamented with flowers here and there as the trees stood mighty and tall, their scent adding to the already freshness of the forest morning. The girl giggled lightly as the mutineer slowed down the movement of the husks to a complete stop. The bubbling blonde mage pouted, jutting out her bottom lip and bringing her arms across her chest like a child. The light dragon slayer felt his body heat up at the sight. Even acting like a child, she still manages to look unbelievably attractive. He hid his uncomfortable arousal surprisingly well and leaned back with his palms on the grass, gazing at the beautiful fairy as she made her final but wrong choice. (If you're lost at this point, the name of the game is guess where the thing is under three cups, it's pretty self explanatory if you ask me)
"It's in this one isn't it?" she tried to say with certitude, but that never really works out for our ditzy fairy. For the fun of it, the cocky bastard stuck out his tongue and formed a big x with his arms then opened the coconut shell on the far right of her choice, in it was a silver star earring stud. The girl took it with distain and playful soreness.
"Oh, shoot" Lucy said as the trickster across laughed teasingly at her.
"Care to play again?" A smile spread to her face despite the mockery and she nodded enthusiastically. They've been doing all sorts of shenanigans since 10 in the morning. I guess passing the time with him isn't all that bad, if you look past his cocky ass attitude. Would never admit it though. The lady thought as she observed the pale blonde boy closer than ever before in a daze-like, almost dreamy state. His porcelain face was absolute perfection, the scar above his eye just adding more to his sexy rough exterior, flaw as it may be. His hair was a natural shimmering pastel yellow and suited his dominantly blue outfit. Those ultramarine slanted eyes seemed to glow in different shades and swirl around with a variety of emotion, hypnotizing her profoundly. Lucy's face lit up crimson, just looking at Sting is making her tummy all fuzzy and warm, never has she felt that way towards a guy ever before and the prospect is starting to take a toll on her. The saber noticed her fixated leer and raised his eyebrow at the pretty girl scrutinizing him in excruciating detail, suddenly feeling a tad bit self-conscious. Do I have something on my face? Berries stuck in my teeth from breakfast maybe? God, why do I even care? The boy mentally slapped himself out of thought, jerking his head as he did so (thought so? Mental so? Whichever suits your fancy) It's just a game Eucliffe, a game. You can't suck yourself in again, not with her nor anyone else. Love? Like? All of it is irrelevant, Sting. His inner conscience reasoned, stiffening his early laid back manner, his smirk, his shield back on his face regrettably so.
"Like what you see?" the edgy blonde man spoke out with a returning (forced) arrogance, moving his face closer for dramatic effect. The girl scoffed at the guy's returning overconfidence. Just when I thought he was an okay guy, he goes ruining it with his annoying-although arguably sexy-smirk. Lucy was about to scold him but was interrupted by the sound of footsteps along with metal clanking coming from the dirt path of the forest to the duo's right. They averted their gaze on each other and stood up in alert to the possible threat coming their way. When a bobbing red head and striking pink hair came to view, the fairy stood up in surprise and started to wave them over while the saber rolled his eyes. Great, the idiot patrol.
"Oi, Lucy!" "Luce!" "Lucy!" cried the rest of team Natsu, rushing towards their now found blonde nakama and enveloping her in a bone crushing group hug. The three mages shouted out incoherent words simultaneously, comments of relief and previous worry along with confusion being the gist of what Lucy's overprotective, idiotic but caring teammates were rambling on about, still enclosed in the life threatening hug. They released the girl after seeing her pale face about to turn blue and their eyes landed on the Sabertooth nemesis behind their friend in a flash. A dark aura outlined the scarlet haired Erza while deadly suspicious glares were thrown by the two elemental male mages. Sensing the atmosphere, Lucy stepped in between, covering Sting behind her while flailing her hands defensively. I'm going to regret this, but he'll get creamed if I don't interfere. Stupid guild rivalry!
"Don't lash out too quickly please, hear me out and then decide whether you'll kill him or not" with that amazing start off, Lucy begun to narrate everything that had happened after the crash, excluding the little moment in the cave that evening of course, like she'd ever bring herself to say it out loud, she can't even think about it without trying to literally shake it out of her mind-and I do mean literally. After the little storytelling, it was Erza's time to explain what happened to them and the rest of the guild, seemingly cooled off after Lucy's explanation. The summoner let out a breath of relief when Erza said the rest were fine and recuperating by a tent somewhere northbound. Gray chimed in that Wendy was able to heal most of everyone's minor gashes and all they needed to do now was find the others missing. In total and subtracting Lucy, Natsu said they had to look for Gajeel, Juvia, Elfman, Evergreen and Freed.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's get a move on guys!" exclaimed the pumped up blonde girl as she stood up with her fist in the sky but the rest just looked at her from their sitting positions.
"Hold on just a second, Lucy are you sure you're well enough to start moving?" asked the worried redhead, taking notice of the bandages around her dear friend's legs. The scatterbrained stellar mage looked down, only now remembering the deep cuts in her thighs. I can barely feel the ache anymore, but it's still highly uncertain if my legs would be okay to move around a lot. She took a moment to notion it but in the end, she merely shrugged it off, her nakama always came first in her mind and this circumstance has no exception. Find her friends first then start complaining about her legs. Lucy smiled reassuringly at the plan and lead the way out of the green grassy clearing, entering deep into the woods.
As they walked on, the sound of the crunching leaves under them served as the only music within the group. Although none would come out and say it but having the Sabertooth master with them was quite awkward for everyone, even the Sabertooth master himself. Sting was trailing way behind as the fire dragon turned bloodhound led the way-scratch that, his nose in particular led the way actually. He was deep in thought, his hands at the back of his head and walking like he don't give a damn about anything. The yellowhead in front of him heard his sigh of boredom and slowed her pace, now appearing right next to the light dragon slayer with an untroubled smile adorning her face. Weird, that's out of character for her-not that I know her all that well to know her character but it just seems a bit too solemn for my taste. The churning and warm feeling in my stomach tells me so, or is it telling me something else? He snapped out of his thoughts when the pretty blonde next to him cleared her throat and looked at Sting with guilty eyes.
"I've been acting like a lady jerk to you lately and I'm-*gulp*-sorry." stammered the slightly tensed fairy, who was averting her eyes from the boy as she spoke. The pale blonde chuckled at her shyness. This should be fun, she's apologizing.
"A lady jerk, sure. Go on" he encouraged, bumping his shoulder with hers in a giddy manner, earning a grin-yet an irk mark from the lady.
"Look, I'm sorry for knocking you out twice alright? I wasn't my usual self but I can't help it! You make me so irritated for some reason!" she said although laughing as she did, keeping the air between them light while the three people in front were distracted by the search.
"Well so much for the apology" Sting teased, chuckling alongside the pretty spirit wizard. Blood rushed into his head as he gazed upon the laughing, radiating blonde. The breeze blew back her daffodil locks-and thank the gods for it-her face was flushed by the morning chills and her lips were pink and luscious, taking the boy's breath away by how simple yet so immensely ravishing her features were. What are you doing Sting? She's a fairy, you're a saber. She's a fairy, you're a saber. She's a fairy, you'r a-
"And-I can't believe I'm saying this but-thank you, you know for keeping me safe after the crash. I just want to let you know that I'm grateful to know that-when push comes to shove-you'd actually take care of me." Lucy said, interrupting the mantra repeating in Sting's head. He couldn't help it, he smiled a genuine smile for the girl, a feeling of closeness and actual appreciation cozying up in the otherwise cold distant heart of the light dragon slayer. No one has ever really said thank you to him that way before-no one really gave him any gratitude at all to tell the truth, and he-honest to god-liked the sensation it gave him very much. The celestial spirit mage noticed the triumphal look in Sting's eyes and grunted.
"You're still an unbearable jackass though and don't you forget it" she insulted, pushing the saber's shoulder with a small grin and giggle. The boy chimed in as well, laughing with the girl in such a jolly mood, walking together absentmindedly with surprising comfort of just being in each other's company.
She's a fairy, you're-ah who am I kidding? I like her.
