Chapter 21: Is this love?

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.


Lucy's POV

'HOW DARE HE?' I mentally screamed, frustrated on the outcome of the mission.
"Guess we'll be heading home," said Sting.
"Yes, and about that, how long do you plan to stay on my house?"
"Well, you see, here's the thing, as soon as Rogue and I get enough money, we'll leave," he said with smirk.
"Aren't you like, super rich?" I asked him, because, well, he is according to Lector, the best dragon slayer ever.
"Nah, see, the money we got in our missions, went to live a luxurious life," he said, "Rogue probably has some savings, but me? Hell no! Buying women and food is more important!"
"You're disgusting!"
"Hey, I have my needs," he said as he walked closer to me.
"I thought dragon slayers only mated once," I was backing away slowly.
"True, but with the person we mark," he started, "for example, if I mark you right now, for the rest of my life I would only mate with you. You would become my wife, have my children and we could live happily ever after. Or you could reject the mark after we mate, and screw me over."
I was so into his story I hadn't realize we were practically about to kiss.
"What do you mean by "reject the mark"?" I asked him, and moved to the sit on the bed. He shrugged, "it means you don't want to be with me."
"Yeah," I said, "I get that, but the screw over part?"
"Of all the things to hear, you only heard the screwing?" He asked. I stuck my tongue out at him, an he laughed, "it means I won't love anyone, I won't have kids, I will be lost in the sadness of rejection, and eventually die of heartbreak..."
I had my mouth open, not because of the explanation, but because he said it with such sadness that it seemed as he was afraid it will happen.
I simply said "oh" and started heading for the door to go home.
