Crashing was often the sound that Rogue would wake up to. He'd stumble out of bed and onto the floor, dragging himself through the door and down the hall, only to find that Sting would yet AGAIN be in his house, rifling through his pots and pans and failing miserably at making himself a fried egg.

Rogue would drag himself to his feet, make his incompetent partner breakfast, and then he wouldn't get another moment of peace for the rest of the day.

Lucy's day usually started a little bit more violently, with Natsu and Happy dragging her out of bed, or alternatively, kicking her out of bed in their sleep. She'd tumble on to the floor, awake instantly. Then, to complete the morning routine, she'd scream at them, calm down, apologize, and make them something to eat before they headed off to the guild.

From there, it was constant chaos, only magnified by the sheer number of lunatics that called Fairy Tail their home.

And sometimes, maybe on the weekend, maybe a holiday, it would get louder than ever and Rogue would politely excuse himself from Sabertooth's chaos and go for a walk, because sometimes all he needed was peace and quiet.

And Lucy usually enjoyed the vivid, lively atmosphere of her family, but there were days when she just needed to get out, and think, because Mavis knows that Fairy Tail isn't the best place for introspection. So she'd tell Natsu she wanted to go for a walk, and if he showed any sign of arguing, she'd trip him and pretend it was Gray. While they brawled, she'd make a quick escape, out into Magnolia, and she'd take a walk and just breathe, enjoying the quiet.

So it comes to no surprise that when Rogue walked a little too far, and Lucy was a little too tipsy and boarded the midnight train to somewhere or another, that they found each other, and they clicked, because a quiet soul needs a quiet soul and sometimes, where they came from-

It was just too damn loud.

A/N: I'm drowning in sad RoLu feels (looking at you, Dragon'sHost) which is probably why this isn't up to my usual crack standard. *Shrugs * What can you do?

Anyway, this was a request from Under Celestial Stars. I'm sorry if this wasn't what you wanted, ;-; but this is what my mind was saying. If you want it redone, then just PM me and I'll get that done stat.

I've got a few more requests, but those will be done soon! Thank you and goodnight.
