Lucy's P.O.V
Rogue…. His name is Rogue Cheney…
He's the kid in my past. But why? Why didn't he just told me?
I kneel in the ground with my eyes wide in shock. My right hand holding my head while the other one covering my mouth. Tears started to pour down my cheeks.
If he did knew that he's my childhood friend, why didn't he just told me?
Those words stated to echoed inside my mind. My head hurts again. I feel like I'm gonna faint. My memories, it's starting to go back piece by piece.
Sounds footsteps started to emerge which I didn't notice. I was still deep in thought with tears still falling down my cheeks.
"Rushie-san, why are you crying?"
I jerked my head up and saw Rogue, Sting, Frosch and Lector with a concerned look pasted on their faces. I wiped my tears with the back of my hands and sniffed. I stood up and said the dumbest idea that came inside my mind.
"I'm not crying."
How could I say that? Isn't it obvious? Ugghh…. Me and my blabberish mouth.
"Um, yes you are." Sting protested.
"Okay, I maybe crying but I'm not really crying."
I know that doesn't make any sense… I want to slap my mouth for that.
They looked at me as if I were insane.
"Fine, you guys got me." I sighed and sniffed.
"My memories started coming back," I looked at Rogue who's eyes wide in shock. I continued.
"When I was a kid I used to visit my grandma in the country. Then I met this cute raven-haired boy who was three years older than me." Rogue blushed.
"We played until the sunsets and took a bath together." Rogue blushed even more. "His name is-" I stopped dramatically while my face grew serious.
"Rogue Cheney."
The two exceeds stared at me as if I was insane. Except Sting who smirked like an idiot. Rogue was speechless.
"Is it really you, Rogue?" I asked tears started streaming down my cheeks again.
Rogue stared at me in the eyes and hugged me. He buried his face behind my left shoulder and nodded. I returned his hug which made him hug me even tighter.
He made me look at him by cupping my face. I looked at his red snake-like eyes.
"The reason I didn't told you at the first place, is because I was not brave enough." He said smiling at me.
He must've read my thoughts. I nodded and buried my face in his chest once more.
I heard someone cleared their throat. It was Sting and Lector. Didn't they knew that they were breaking a reunion here?
Ugghh…. Interrupters
Rogue and I did some explanation to the two exceeds while Sting went to in the waterfalls. He said he wanted to take a bath. Uh, I can see that he's turning back to normal from 'Dragon Tradition'.
Not normal but back into 'Teasing Mode' again! No more kindness… Sooner or Later he'll call me 'Blondie' again. But I'll call him 'Stingy Bee'. Rogue is here to make my day brighter anyways, so why bother?
I can't believe it was Rogue all the time!
"Rogue," Rogue turned his gaze at me at me while we were alone sitting on the swing.
"Or should I say 'Ro-ro'?" I laughed at my little tease to Rogue who blushed a bit.
"Yeah, what do you want, Lu-lu?" Rogue teased me back and chuckled which made me blushed really red.
"Nothing, Ro-ro." I turned away to hide my face blushing.
I heard Rogue scoffed at my actions as he suddenly flicked my forehead roughly. I flinched and rubbed the spot where I've been flicked.
"Why you?!" I shouted at Rogue while I chase him to the forest. Whoa, his fast.
Finally I caught hold of his shirt and flicked his forehead. He groaned in pain and sat in a under a big root of a tree. He closed his eyes with his palm. Feeling pathetic-like and guilt for Rogue I bent down to see if his okay.
I felt a sudden pull at the end of my collar shirt which made me sat down to the ground and warmness in my mouth. I closed my eyes and returned Rogue's kiss. Grasping the back of his hair, I pull him even more closely. The kiss grew even more fierce and passionate as our tongues made contact.
I broke the situation.
"Ro-ro, ever since we're kids I always had a crush on- you." I said awkwardly.
"Me too, Lu-lu."
"Until now." We both said in unison and turned away.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
I swear my whole face is red right now. I smiled at Rogue while he smirked. I could've sworn Rogue's face was red too. I rested my face on his chest as he rested his jaw on top of my head. He circled his arms around my waist. I closed my eyes not noticing I'm falling asleep in Ro-ro's arms.
Sting's P.O.V
Urgghh… Why did Blondie remembered that she and Rogue are childhood friends? Why? Why? Why? Why?
I'll just pretend that I'm happy for both of them, and then I'll try to make Blondie fall in love with me somehow.
Me: And how are you gonna do that Stingy Bee? *Smirking*
Sting: Don't call me that, Bookworm Aljade! And mind your own business!
Me: Did you just call me "Bookworm Aljade", Stingy Bee? *Dark aura emitting up*
Sting: Um, no? *Sweating bullets*
Me: Good! Now, tell me how are you gonna make her fall for you? *Innocent smile*
Sting: *Growling in frustration* Fine! Um, Actually I don't really know yet.
Me: I just got thing for you Stingy- *Claps mouth with hand* I mean, Sting.
Sting: What?
…*Whispering rapidly*…
Sting: Okay. *Winks*
Me: *Laughing evilly*
Sting: *Laughing evilly*
Me: Stop that. Now all you need to do is do what I told you, kay?
Sting: Um, how am I sure if its gonna work?
Me: Trust me. I do it every time. *Smirking* Now lemme do my work if you please. Ohhh…This is gonna be sooo exciting!
Sting: *Laughing nervously* I'm not sure-
Me: Oh, stop being such a worrywart Sting! It's gonna be sooo fun!
Sting: I'm not a worrywart, Raven! And just get on with the stuff!
Me: Okay, okay… You sound like Rogue… Brothers!
Sting: *Irritated grunt*
Me: Pfft… Crankypants…
Suddenly, I had the most amazing idea that came in my mind. Yes, I should do that exactly. *Evil Mind*
I swam in the waterfalls for what seemed like centuries thinking of Lucy and Rogue. Until I heard a sound of the grass rustling. It was my exceed.
"Sting-kun! Sting-kun where are you?"
"Over here, Lector!" I shouted back.
"Sting-kun! Why didn't you tell me you were going to the waterfalls?" my exceed asked while he walked towards me.
Shit! I forgot about him! Because of my jealousy.
"Oh, I- um" I my voice trailed off. "I just needed a bath."
He nodded. After a long conversation of explanation, We decided to go home. Through the woods you can hear the peaceful chirping of the birds, the water flowing. The scent of fresh forest air.
What am I saying? Only nerd peoples like Rogue and Lucy should say things like this. Perhaps they are probably affecting my mind.
My eyes gaze in a shade of a tree. My eyes widen to see Rogue and Lucy hugging each other while sleeping.
My heart started to crumpled and walked past them.
Me: What did I told you Sting?!
Sting: I'm sorry! I just got a little carried out then my feet walked on purpose.
Me: A little? You didn't did what I told you to do.
Sting: I said I'm sorry. Alright?
Me: You're not getting yourself anywhere. Especially when there is Smokin' Hot Lucy!
Sting: But I'll just let them pass for now. Even though my heart breaks a little.
Me: Okay. For now. But don't get yourself so down and be the 'Almighty Sting Eucliffe' Just smile though so they won't notice it.
Sting: *Blushes*
Me: Oh, come on. Don't take it too serious. Now let me finish my work here. I'm sleepy…
I headed back home with Lector. Boredom plastered on my face.
All my life has been a tough journey finding that stinking Rogue. And when I finally found him that's what he'd say to me?! Being punched on the face was tough enough.
After Rogue left that time, I felt like I will never love someone again. I left home the moment he left. He'd always be my brother. And if he's happy, I'll be happy. I want to see him happy with the girl who is somewhat we both loves… *Sighs* It seems like there is gonna be a long way to go…
I just knew Blond- I mean Lucy will never fall for a guy like me. I knew that Rogue will always win. Sometimes I wonder how is it like to make someone happy- not by teasing them, but happy from my own heart. Which I never did to anyone. Maybe by making Rogue and Lucy together and not being part of the villain issue will make them happy. And most, It will probably make me happy. I can't possibly like my own brother's girl.
For now, Rogue hasn't mark her. Yet. Jealousy is all I could ever think of…
All I could think is just to cry. But I can't. I have my whole pride on. And I can't just possibly fell for a girl. Especially one of the girls I used to bully when I was a kid.
Just think about it….
Rogue's P.O.V
I opened my eyes only to see Lucy still hugging me. We're still on the same position as just now. I can't believe she finally remembered me. After all the time of me trying to figure out how am I gonna confess to her and tell her the truth, in the end she told me I was 'cute' when I was young. I think I'm just dreaming this all.
And our first kiss… I just can't keep on rephrasing back what happened just now. I swear there is gonna be more of that. I blushed when I felt Lucy sliding her hand down to my lower thigh as she was sleeping. I tried to get out from her grasp when suddenly she squeezed my-
I blushed profusely…
Forget about it…
So how's the Chapter? Is it good? You guys kept on begging me to ask Lucy to remember Rogue, so finally I gave in. Does it feels awkward how Rogue do things to Lucy? Please let me know. And don't forget to leave an amazing review! Thank you!
