Two chapters in two days ^-^ I'm kinda proud of myself.

I hope you like this one and I promise it's longer then the one I posted yesterday ^-^


It was late in the afternoon and everyone was having fun, well everyone except for Sting. He was in his office and worked on his papers. He had nothing better to do. Sure he could spend time with Yukino and Lector, but he just didn't feel like it. They always reminded him that Rogue was away but that their problem still existed and that he now needed to believe that it was good to be apart from another for some time. Not just for Rogue but for both of them. It was hard for him to believe that being apart, when the relationship is nearly ruined, was good and so he just didn't believe it.

Since he didn't want to be remind of all this, he stay in his office. Sadly he forgot one little thing today. He didn't look the door. Which resulted with his two best friends entering his office and then trying to convince him to go downstairs with them to have some fun.

"Come one Sting, you've been in here all day. Let's have some fun and if you don't want fun let us at least spend some time together." Yukino tried to convince him to go with them.

"Don't you see that I have work to do?" He asked and showed her one of the papers he was working on.

After looking at it for a short moment she noticed the due date, which was in over two weeks. "Sure. And if you keep working like that you'll have the next month off because there will be no more papers that need to be done. So just stop for today and let's do something together."

'Shit… She noticed the date… Think… Think of something!' The dragon slayer told himself.

After a little moment some silence Sting finally found an acceptable counter to what she just said. "And what if this was my plan all along? Maybe I want to have the next month of so that I can spend it with Rogue when he is back and hopefully did realise that he still wants to be with me." Once he said that he knew that it was the wrong thing to do, because the second the words left his mouth Yukino and Lector looked at him with a mixture of pity and sadness on their faces.

"So it's about Rogue…"Lector muttered under his breath.

'It wasn't… but he is kind of right…' The dragon slayer thought sadly, which after a short time turned into anger as he realised that his best friend didn't take it as serious as he.

"How could it not!" Sting snapped at his exceed. "He went away while I was trying to save our relationship. While I tried my best to show him that I really love him and that I care about him. So please tell me, how my life could not be about Rogue right now!"

A few minutes, after the shock from Stings outburst was gone, Yukino and Lector took his hands and dragged him home. He was confused why they did that but he didn't resist them and just moved along with them. His little outburst made him a bit tired. Not the physical type but the emotional.

Once they entered Stings home, well Rogue and Stings home, Yukino pushed Sting onto the couch, got something to eat and to drink from the kitchen and put on a movie.

"We're going to have a movie night. And like it or not we will have fun together and forget all your problems with Rogue for tonight."

'I hope this works. Sting-kun seems to need a break from all this' Lector thought.

At the beginning everything went well, they had fun and the dragon slayer really forgot his problems for a short period of time. But this fun didn't last very long. When they were only trough half of the movie Sting suddenly began to get a bad feeling, a really bad feeling, but he couldn't pin point where it was coming from.

After some time this feeling began to intensify. But not only that. Suddenly he began to feel a little sting at his heart and after some time it felt like it would break in two.

Yukino and Lector noticed that something was wrong with the dragon slayer and asked him what it was, but he just couldn't explain it to them. Hell how could he if he didn't understand it himself.

During the night, the pain and the bad feeling stayed where they were and that was what made him to get worried. He knew that nothing was wrong with him and so he came to a horrible conclusion. It was Rogues pain.

Levi once explained to them that dragon slayers could feel the pain of mates when they were away from them so that they always knew when something was wrong, which was really important because if they knew something happened to their mate, they could go to them or search them and help them.

He didn't believe it back then since he never experienced something like that, but how could he have when he and Rogue always went on missions together and when they didn't the missions weren't so difficult that they could get seriously hurt. But now, that he felt pain that clearly wasn't his own, he began to believe what Levi told him and it terrified him.

Who knew what happened to Rogue. He had to help him.

With that thought in mind he got up and rushed out of the door.

Yukino and Lector looked completely shocked because of his action and in the end took a run after him to find out what was wrong with their best friend.

"Wait Sting! Wait!" Both of them shouted as they tried to get to him

To their luck he slowed down a bit so that they could catch up.

"What has gotten into you?!" Yukino screamed.

"Somethings wrong with Rogue." Was his only explanation.

"What?" Were Yukinos and Lectors only reaction.

"Lector, remember what Levi once told us about dragon slayers noticing when their mate is hurt?"

"Yes I do. But I also remember that you thought of it as bull shit."

"Well this just happened to me. I got a real bad feeling and suddenly I started to feel pain as well. It has to do with Rogue. Maybe he got hurt during the mission. Or some other person or monster was there and fought against him which ended badly for Rogue." The dragon slayer began to panic as he imagined more and more scenarios how Rogue could have gotten hurt.

"Sting… I think you are overreacting. Maybe you want that something happens so that you can go and see Rogue. Don't you think that is more realistic then that something did happen to Rogue? I mean he's a dragon slayer as well and all the dragon slayers I know are really strong and hard to get down" Yukino questioned and smiled softly at him, while she hoped that this could convince him.

'I knew that he wanted to see Rogue but that it is this bad…' She thought worried.

"I'm not overreacting! I'm sure that something is wrong. I just don't know what! So if you two would excuse me, I'm going to Minerva to find out where he had to go for his mission!" After he said that he again run off.

Just as Yukino wanted to sprint after him, Lector grabbed her by the hand. "Don't. He really seems to believe it. All that can convince him otherwise is to see Rogue unharmed and completely healthy." Lector explained and went home with Yukino.

Once Sting reached Minervas home he began to bang his fist with full force against the door until she opens it.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Minerva screamed angry at him. "It's the middle of the night! So what are you doing here?"

"I need to ask you something very important. Can you please tell me where Rogue went for his mission?"

"No." Was the only answer he got together with a door in his face.

"Please Minerva! I need to know! Something happened to Rogue!" The dragon slayer shouted desperately.

It seemed as if this caught Minervas interest, because shortly after he finished his sentence the door opened again.

"How would you know if something happened to him?" She asked curious and raised one of her eyebrows quizzical.

"It's a dragon slayer thing Levi once told us about. I know it sounds weird but please believe me. You're his best friend and I just want to help him. So please tell me where he is." The blond pleaded with tears in his eyes.

"Explain me exactly what Levi told you and why you think something happened to Rogue. Then I'll decide if I tell you where he is." Minerva wasn't sure why she said that, normally she would have told him to go away but somehow she believed what he told he, she just needed to be sure of it before giving him the information he wanted.

After he told her everything about the stuff Levi told them, the bad feelings he got and the pain he felt, Minerva was sure that he told her the truth because Sting was way too stupid to make up something like that and he wasn't good at acting as well so that he panic and the tears had to be real.

"I'll tell you where he is, but after I told you that you won't run of to get to him. You'll go home rest a bit, pack your stuff and then you can go to him. Am I clear?"

"But I…"

"Am I clear" Minerva interrupted him.

"Yes."

"Good."

She explained him where he was and how he could get there.

After the conversation with Minerva, the dragon slayer went home and did exactly what she told him to do. Well he only did it because he knew that she would knew it when he would run off now and he really didn't want to have to deal with an angry Minerva.

During the early noon Sting began his personal mission: getting to Rogue, making sure that he is alright and if that' s not the case help him and kill what or whoever dared to harm the other dragon slayer.
