Chapter 11

Natsu looked down. His hair covered his face. Lucy got a better look from her angle and she saw him with a face of melancholy. 'Why am I sad all of sudden?' Natsu thought. Then he remembered what Gray said to him before. 'Wait! Does that mean I really do love Lucy?' Natsu thought. He looked at Lucy then blushed. He looked away quickly to avoid her gaze.

Sting's reaction was the opposite of Natsu's. He was amused of this predicament before him. He recovered from the surprising events from before. Sting smiled. "So this is your friend…Or should I say girlfriend. It looks like your cat wasn't lying from before." Sting said. Frosch had an apologetic face when he looked at Rogue. "Geez, Rogue. I never knew you had it in you. Didn't I tell you to speak up for yourself before you into trouble? It looks like it's too late for that now. Don't say that I didn't warn you." Sting said as he took a glance at Natsu. 'I wonder what he's feeling right now.' Sting thought.

There was an awkward silence before Natsu spoke. "He's from Sabertooth, Lucy! How could you date someone from Sabertooth?!" Natsu shouted as he pointed at Rogue. Lucy became angry. "Don't you know that it's rude to point?! You think I didn't know that he was from Sabertooth too! I'm not like you, Natsu!" Lucy said. "Besides, it's not like Rogue is from a dark guild like Grimore Heart because you make it sound like he does." Lucy said. "You still shouldn't be with him. He's a bad guy!" Natsu said. Lucy became irritated.

She was about to say something, but Rogue put his arm in front of her. "Sorry for the inconvenience. She tackled me because I broke into her apartment." Rogue said. Sting stepped into the conversation. "So when people catch a person breaking into their house they tackle the culprit and then they both tell each other that they missed and loved one another. Tell me, Rogue is that a misunderstanding or is it true that you guys are dating?" Sting asked as he crossed his arms.

"It can happen!" Lucy said. She felt like she was caught by her parents when she snuck in her boyfriend in her room and she was in the hot seat. Sting laughed. "I can't believe you would go for these types of girls that are dumb, Rouge." Sting said as he continued laughing. Lucy felt insulted. "And I can't believe that he's friends with someone arrogant as you?" Lucy said. Sting stopped laughing. Rogue chuckled. "Whatever." Sting said. "Anyway when did this happen?" Sting asked as he sat down and made himself comfortable on Lucy's couch. Rogue stood up and helped Lucy up. "I'm going to go." Natsu said as he made his way out the door.

Lucy thought fro a moment. "How did you guys get in here? I locked the windows so I could get some p-" Lucy stopped at her sentence. Sting smirked. "Some privacy with Rogue." Sting finished Lucy's sentence. Lucy blushed. Sting laughed at her reaction. "You and Natsu are too easy to read." Sting said. "Just answer my question." Lucy said in an annoyed voice. " Natsu had the key to your apartment. Didn't you give it to him?" Sting asked. "No." Lucy replied. 'So that's how he gets into my apartment." Lucy thought.

"Um. I'm going to talk to Natsu." Lucy said. "Be careful." Rogue said. Lucy nodded and started running after Natsu. It was quiet. You could here the clock ticking. "Seriously Rogue. You should have told me and the others at the guild. I still don't get why you're so quiet. What if Natsu does something to your girl." Sting said. "Some things are better when unsaid." Rogue stated. "And I trust Natsu. I know he wouldn't hurt L-Lucy." Sting said. He has been trying to call her by her first name ever since they started dating, but it was difficult for him. Sting smirked at Rogue's shyness.

"You say that now, but wait until you and her stay separated for more than a month." Sting said. Rogue was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?" Rogue asked as curiosity filled him. "The new guild master still hasn't tell you yet?" Sting asked. "Tell me what?" Rogue questioned. Sting got tired of his questions. "Forget it. You'll find out once we go back to the guild when we finish this mission." Sting said. He looked at Rogue. "How come your just standing there. Sit down and relax." Sting said.

"But I didn't get permission from Lucy to si-" Rogue was interrupted by Sting. "Quit being a shy and sit your ass down." Sting said as he pulled Rogue down. Rogue immediately got up once he sat down. "I prefer standing up." Rogue said. It didn't fell right to do things without a person's permission to him. "Whatever. It just means more room for me." Sting said as he placed his legs on the couch. Rogue walked to the wall then leaned his back on it. He closed his eyes and sighed. 'What are we going to do now Lucy.' Rogue thought.
