And I'm back again! I really really want to just jump right into this one because I've been dying to write it. Basically, it's based off of high school cliches where hot popular playboy asks out the shy quiet geeky girl. That's all there is to it so please enjoy!

I don't own Fairy Tail….if I did, Rolu would be a thing but apparently Hiro Mashima and I don't share the same OTP.


Broken Hearts & Broken Trust

None of this was supposed to happen! When everything first started, he had never intended for anything to play out like this. Rogue continued pacing around his room nervously as he tugged at his messy black hair. Maybe he would be able to find a way out of this mess.

"Fuck," Rogue groaned in frustration as he fell back onto his bed as he tried to remember how he had gotten into this mess in the first place.


(Flashback –About a year ago-)

The cafeteria was loud and crowded as per usual. Everyone was separated into groups by society, you had your typical skaters, nerds, loners and then above them all were the popular kids.

"Not going to lie but Cana has a pretty nice ass," Sting smirked as the brunette walked by their table.

"Idiot, aren't you dating Yukino?" Rogue deadpanned as he glanced at his longtime best friend.

"So, it's not like I'm going to fuck Cana or anything," Sting huffed as he narrowed his eyes at Rogue.

"You've gotta admit, most of the girls in the school aren't half bad," Gajeel smirked as he crossed his arms.

"For once I actually agree with Scrap Metal," Laxus commented as Rogue pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"I agree," Natsu stated as he gave them his usual toothy grin.

"Can't believe I'm going to say this but I agree with you idiot, problem is all five of us have been with most of these girls already," Rogue pointed out as he sat there.

"Not all of them," Gajeel pointed out as the other four became confused at his words.

"What the fuck are you talking about Metal Head?" Sting questioned as he raised an eyebrow at the pierced teen.

"Well, there's bunny girl and a few others," Gajeel explained as the guys were still confused.

"Who the fuck is bunny girl?" Laxus questioned as Gajeel huffed in frustration as he simply pointed at a table where a lone blonde sat all by herself at a deserted table in the corner of the cafeteria, a pair of red framed glasses were present as she had her nose buried in a book.

"You mean Lucy?" Natsu questioned as the others all looked at him.

"How the hell do you know Blondie?" Sting questioned as he raised an eyebrow at the salmon haired idiot.

"Oh, Luce has been my best friend since the first grade, but in the third grade she distanced herself from everyone, I still talk to her every once in a while, she's friends with Lisanna and the others though," Natsu shrugged as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

The other four (mainly Sting) studied Lucy as they noticed a few things. First one being was that it was hard to tell if the blonde had a figure or not, with the oversized sweater she was wearing, it was hard to tell if she even had a decent sized chest. (Leave it up to a bunch of playboys to judge a girl on looks only)

"Rogue, how do you feel about a bet?" Sting questioned with a smirk as Rogue raised an eyebrow at him.

"What type of bet?" Rogue asked curiously as he narrowed his eyes skeptically.

"One involving Blondie now just hear me out, the bet is to go out with Blondie an-,"

"No," Rogue deadpanned as he cut Sting off mid-sentence.

"Just hear me out, go out with Blondie and get her to fall for you, that's all,"

"What's in it for me?" Rogue questioned as he raised an eyebrow at the blonde idiot n

"I'll give you three hundred dollars plus an extra hundred if you can get into Blondie's skirt…or whatever the hell she's wearing under the oversized sweater," Sting deadpanned as the others eyes widened at his wager.

"Three-possibly four hundred dollar to do just that?" Rogue asked as he looked at Sting skeptically.

"Yup, the thing though is that you have to stay with her for a year starting today, if you take the bet that is," Sting smirked cockily as he felt Rogue wouldn't be able to do it.

Rogue's longest relationship lasted about two months and that had been with Kagura, it was obvious that the red eyed teen was a bit of a womanizer.

"Deal," Rogue smirked as he and Sting narrowed their eyes at one another.

"Oi idiots, none of us can mention the bet to anyone, if No-a Shape is friends with Mira and the others, we're dead if they find out, deal?" Laxus asked as he kept his arms crossed.

"Deal," all the guys except Natsu stated as they all turned to look at the unusually silent idiot.

"Natsu…,"

"….Deal," Natsu stated as he looked across the cafeteria at his best friend who still had her nose buried in her book.

"Might as well get this over with, although I don't need it three hundred dollars does sound nice," Rogue smirked as he stood from the table.

"Just warning you, Luce is a bit weird, just saying," Natsu pointed out as Rogue simply acknowledged his warning.


(End of Flashback)

That was how he got into the mess in the first place, it was all because of a stupid net. The first time he had talked to Lucy, he found it annoying how the blonde was easily flustered or how she always stumbled and tripped over just about everything. But the further and further he got into the bet, he found himself starting to like these traits about Lucy. During the time he and Lucy had been dating, he had gotten the blonde to open up to people, he had even got her to wear clothes that actually complimented the figure she had. Over the year (almost) that he had gotten to know Lucy, he had learned so much about the shy little geeky blonde like her love for books (specifically comics and romance novels) and he had even discovered they had a lot in common.

"Why did I ever accept his stupid bet," Rogue growled as he ran a hand through his messy black hair.

The one thing Rogue regretted yet didn't regret at the same time…was that he had hopelessly fallen in love with the blonde.


(Timeskip –The Next Morning-)

"Shut up already," Lucy whined as she rolled over in her bed as she slammed her hand down on her alarm clock, sucessfully shutting it up.

The blonde sat up in her bed as she rubbed her eyes tiredly before reaching her hand out as she felt around for her glasses, it didn't take long for her to find them as she quickly placed them on her face. Lucy threw her legs over the edge of her bed as she stood and walked over to her calendar as she looked at the date as her cheeks tinged pink at what today was.

'Today was when I met him,' Lucy thought as her heart fluttered at the thought, today was the day she had met her boyfriend Rogue one year ago the fateful day he had decided to approach her in the cafeteria.

Lucy couldn't help but get a little bit giddy at the thought as she began to do her usual morning routines but her thoughts continued to stray off towards him. He was not only her first boyfriend but her first kiss as well not to mention he-,

'Why am I thinking about that!' Lucy yelled mentally as her blush flared up, matching a shade of red that would give Erza's hair a run for it's money….if hair had money.

The blonde finished all her morning routines as she returned to her room as she chose out a cute yet geeky outfit for the day. If it wasn't for Rogue she'd still be wearing baggy oversized sweaters, he was the only guy (other than her father of course) to tell her that she looked beautiful. Lucy's outfit consisted of white undershirt underneath a white sweater with the words "Why be the hero when you can be the villain," printed on it in bold hot pink letters, she paired the sweater with a black skater skirt that went mid thigh, she quickly did her hair into a cute French braid as she draped it over her shoulder as she tied the end of the braid off with a black bow, lastly, Lucy tied the outfit together with a beautiful golden bracelet with golden outlined in silver charms spelling out her name dangling from it, it was a gift she had gotten from Rogue.

"Crap! I'm going to be late!" Lucy thought as she quickly grabbed her phone and backpack as she rushed out of her room and downstairs as she quickly grabbed her white high top converse before she quickly ran out the door, locking it behind her as she began her run to school.


(Timeskip –At School-)

The halls were empty as most students were already in their classes, except for two.

"I can't believe you actually fucking did it," Sting stated in awe as he leaned against the locker next to Rogue's.

"Did what?" Rogue asked as he decided to pretend that he had no clue what the blonde was talking about in hopes he had forgotten all about it.

"The bet you idiot! Me and all the other guys can't believe you actually got Blondie to fall for you and everything!" Sting yelled as Rogue glared at him signalling him to shut it.

"I need to talk to you about i-,"

"What's even more shocking is that you were actually able to get into Blondie's pants, she was a virgin right? She definitely looks like one," Sting stated as Rogue's patience began thinning, the two were completely unaware that someone had been listening to their conversation.

"Sting-,"

"Actually kind of funny how you even got her to talk to people, she does seem like a total loser,"

"Sting-,"

"Well, I guess I have to give you the four hundred dollars then, still weird that you actually got Blondie to fall for your bullshit, so you're going to dump he-,"

"Sting will you shut the fuck up and let me talk!" Rogue roared as he glared at his long time best friend.

"You guys are so cold hearted, you know that," A familiar voice sneered as the bosh turned around, their eyes wide in shock.

"Levy, it isn't what it sounds like," Rogue stated as he desperately wished he had told Sting to shut up a lot earlier.

"I can't believe this entire time your relationship with Lucy was all because of a bet," Levy hissed as she glared at the two.

"Levy-,"

"Shut it, how could you do that to Lu-chan! You were her first boyfriend! She actually loved you but this entire time your feelings for her were all for money!"

"I-,"

"I can't believe Lucy actually fell for your bullshit, I'm just sorry she wasn't here to hear all this herself, now if you cold hearted assholes don't mind, I have to find her and tell her everything before you fool her with your bullshit again," Levy hissed as she kept her cold glare fixed on the two.

"You don't need to find me and tell me anything….I heard it all for myself," a shaky voice whispered as the three all turned to find a tearful Lucy standing there.

"Lu I-,"

"D-Don't call me that, h-how could you Rogue…..I can't believe I actually fell for you," Lucy whispered shakily as the tears slowly began to fall down her face as she looked at Rogue.

"Lu, just please let me explain," Rogue practically pleaded as he stared at Lucy.

"There's no need..I think Sting did all the explaining for you…we're done, and you can take your stupid bracelet back," Lucy hissed as she threw the bracelet to the floor before she turned on her heel and ran off.

"Lu-chan! Wait!" Levy yelled as she took off after her best friend.

Rogue's face became shadowed as he stood there processing what had just happened.

"Fuck!" Rogue growled as he slammed his fist into a random locker in pure anger.


(Timeskip –Lunch-)

The boys (minus Rogue) were all at their usual tables in the cafeteria as they discussed the bet that had been made a year ago.

"Where the hell is Rogue?" Gajeel questioned as he looked at Sting as the blonde sat at the table.

"I think he ditched and went home," Sting deadpanned as he sat there.

"What? Did he dump Blondie or something?" Laxus snorted as he remembered the bet would be ending today.

"Actually, it's the other way around," Sting deadpanned as the others eyes widened in shock.

"Well I didn't see that one coming," Gajeel stated as he and the others looked at Sting for answers.

"Yup, she overheard me and Rogue talking about the bet this morning, not only did Blondie overhear but Levy did too meaning the other girls no doubt heard," Sting explained as he groaned in annoyance.

"Well we're fucked then," Laxus deadpanned as he sigh in frustration.

"Wait….knowing Rogue he would've been happy that the bet was over so why'd he ditch?" Natsu questioned….that was probably the smartest question the fool had ever asked.

"I think he fell for Blondie at some point throughout the be-,"

"Jerks! You have a lot of explaining to do!" Mira growled as she Lisanna and Yukino stormed over to the table.

"Told you we were fucked," Laxus murmured as he looked at a furious Mira.

"What do you want she-demon?" Gajeel questioned as he looked at Mira.

"Levy called and told us everything, might as well start explaining although I doubt anything would help you at this point," Mira hissed as she clenched her fists, they didn't call her the demon matchmaker for nothing, when Lucy and Rogue had gotten together, she had immediately fallen in love with the pairing and had meddled throughout the pairs "relationship".

Sting sighed as he decided he should be the one to explain what the hell happened, since Levy had already told the girls all she had heard, it wasn't like there was much to hide anymore.


(Timeskip -Lucy's House-)

"Lu-chan, please stop crying," Levy quietly pleaded as she sat on the edge of the blondes bed as she rubbed somewhat comforting circles on the sobbing girls back.

"J-Just l-leave me a-alone please," Lucy choked out as she kept her face buried in her pillow and her knees hugged to her chest.

"But-,"

"I-I just want t-to b-be alone…p-please," Lucy begged quietly as Levy frowned as she watched her best friend breakdown in front of her.

"I…..fine, if you need someone to talk to….just remember that I'll always be here for you," Levy whispered as she stood and looked at her best friend sadly.

It wasn't like Levy wanted to leave the blonde alone but she knew the blonde just wanted to be alone at the moment. Lucy heard Levy leave and lock the door behind her as the house fell silent with the exception of her choked sobs. She felt like she didn't know who to trust anymore, had everything he'd said been a lie this entire time? When he had said she was special? Or when he had said she was beautiful? More importantly, when he had said he loved her, had none of it been true? He'd done it all because of a stupid bet.

'Im so stupid, I should've seen it coming from the beginning, I'm just the geek….why would anyone ever want me?' Lucy thought bitterly as the tears continued to pour from her eyes.

The blonde lay there as her own thoughts continued to betray and belittle her, and little by little, she was becoming the quiet, awkward introvert she was before Rogue came around.

The blonde laid there for ours upon hours until she finally decided to check her phones. She had numerous missed calls and text messages, a bunch from Mira and Levy, a few from Lisanna but a majority of them had been from Rogue.

"Go to hell!" Lucy shrieked as she threw her phone across the room before the tears began falling from her eyes again as she buried her face in the pillow.


(Timeskip –About a week later-)

Gossip traveled fast and a majority of the school had learned about the breakup the same day it had happened. There were constant whispers about Lucy, Rogue or the two of them together. Lucy had gone back to wearing her over sized sweaters as she had mentally beaten herself up after she had become convinced she wasn't pretty, society could do major damage to people.

Lucy let out a quiet shaky sigh as she sat on the ground of the roof as she leaned against the wall of the stairwell. She felt like it was no longer safe to just sit in the cafeteria by herself like she had before. She couldn't go anywhere without someone staring at her or coming up to her and asking her questions about what had happened between her and Rogue. The sound of the stairwell door opening followed by a pair of footsteps startled the blonde as she found herself staring up at the one person she had been trying her best to avoid.

"R-Rogue,"

"I…..do you have a minute, I need to talk to you," Rogue muttered as he looked down at the blonde, Lucy noticed his red eyes seemed….dull.

"I have my own questions," Lucy muttered as she was able to look at Rogue without breaking down.

"Ask away,"

"Our relationshi-….or whatever that was between us…..did it mean anything to you…at all," Lucy asked quietly as her heart clenched as she waited for Rogue's answer as she looked up at him.

"Well….no bu-,"

"That's all I needed to hear," Lucy muttered as she tore her gaze away from Rogue as the tears that had brimmed in her eyes began falling as she began to walk away only for Rogue to grab her wrist.

"Lucy wait, just hear me out….please," Rogue pleaded quietly as he held Lucy's wrist gently, judging by the blondes lack of struggle and her silence, he could only assume she was giving him a chance to speak.

"At first, when the bet started, it meant nothing to me, but as I got to know you, I just….I started to fall for you, even without myself knowing it, and when I realized I'd fallen for you I just…..wish I'd never made the bet with Sting and approached you based off my own decisions," Rogue admitted as he looked at the blonde who kept her back to him.

"I don't know if I can trust you anymore….I don't even know who to trust anymore, on top of that, all the guys knew and no one ever said anything to me, it just makes me think, was everything you said a lie, when you told me I was beautiful, every time you said you loved me? Was any of that ever true! Cause obviously whatever we had wasn't!" At this point, Lucy was yelling as she had started crying again, a wave of guilt washed over Rogue as he listened to Lucy's words.

"Lu, I d-,"

"I have to go now," Lucy said suddenly as she yanked her wrist from Rogue's grip as she spun on her heel as she took off running leaving Rogue alone on the schools rooftop.

Rogue let out a shaky sigh as he felt his back hit the wall of the stairwell as he slid down the wall as his face became shadowed as he ran a hand through his hair.

"None of this was ever supposed to turn out this way, I fucked up," Rogue muttered as his face remained shadowed.

"Damn right you did," a familiar voice hissed as a Rogue sat there staring off into the distance, he didn't need to look to figure out who it was.

"Not in the mood for your bullshit She-Demon," Rogue stared bluntly as he continued to stare out into the gloomy grey sky, it reflected his emotions perfectly.

"It isn't bullshit if I'm trying to help you make it up to Lucy, although you don't deserve any help, I'm doing this for Lucy, not you," Mira muttered as she glared at Rogue who was looking at her with one eye, the other remained shadowed by his hair.

"Give up Mira, Lucy hates me, that's it, there's no chance of me winning her back," Rogue stated bluntly as he returned to staring at the sky.

"Lucy doesn't hate you, that's why she's so torn up, she's upset because through all of this…she's so kind that she can't even find it within herself to hate you, and like I said, you don't deserve my help but I'm doing this for Lucy, and it involves the school dance,"


(Timeskip –Night of the school dance-)

"Mira, I already said I don't want to go," Lucy murmured as she hid behind her bathroom door.

"That's too bad Lucy, we already did your hair and bought you the dress, you wouldn't just let all our hard work go to waste would you?" Mira asked as she looked at the blonde with her most innocent look.

"….no," Lucy mumbled as she exited the bathroom.

"Exactly, so let's go Lucy, you look so beautiful, you're going to have guys falling left and right," Mira complimented as Lucy shook her head in denial.

"I'm not beautiful so please stop," Lucy murmured as she kept her head down, Mira bit her lip nervously, she didn't want her plan to fail.

"Why aren't you wearing the contacts I left for you on the counter?" Mira asked as she looked at Lucy who stood there.

"It isn't like I'm trying to impress anyone, I prefer wearing my glasses anyway," Lucy explained quietly as she placed her red framed glasses on her face as she brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear as she adjusted her glasses.

"I…..let's just put on our heels and leave," Mira suggested as she grabbed Lucy's hand as she carefully pulled the blonde along.


(About Forty Minutes Later –At The Dance-)

Rogue let out a sigh of frustration as he leaned against the wall. He thought school dances were pointless but there was only one reason he was here. Almost as if on cue, the gym doors opened revealing a familiar pair, Mira and Lucy. Now Rogue would be lying if he said they weren't beautiful but at the moment, he was only focused on Lucy, and he honestly thought she looked stunning. Unlike most girls which had gone for floor length strapless vibrantly coloured dresses, Lucy had done the opposite, which is what made her so unique compared to others. Lucy's dress was simple yet elegant, the dress was black with sleeves made of lace that stopped at her wrists while lace covered her collarbone which would've been exposed otherwise, the top half of the dress fit her nicely and was covered in lace, the skirt of the dress flared out at her waist as it fell to right above her knees in layers of lace covered ruffles, on her feet were a pair of simple, black flats (Lucy had refused to wear heels) (which were definitely unique compared to the bright coloured heels other girls were wearing), her blonde hair was now curled and fell over her right shoulder in soft coils while a black bow barrette pinned her bangs off to the left, her face was bare of makeup which only added to the blondes stunning natural beauty.

"Oi Rogue, you're staring," Sting pointed out as he jabbed Rogue in his ribs with his elbow.

"I don't care," Rogue deadpanned as he continued to look at Lucy who stood off to the side, it was obvious the blonde felt uncomfortable and out of place here.

Rogue decided to take Mira's advice from a few days ago as he walked over to the blonde. Meanwhile, Lucy fidgeted nervously as she stood off to the side away from all the couples dancing to the slow song currently playing, she felt like she stood out too much among the crowd even though she wasn't part of it. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked up at Rogue who was standing in front of her.

"Wanna dance?" Rogue asked quietly as he held his hand out to the blonde who looked at him reluctantly.

"I-I don't know," Lucy murmured as she tore her gaze away from him.

"I know I probably don't deserve to but, just this once?" Rogue asked softly as he felt his breath hitch as Lucy accepted his hand.

"F-Fine," the shy blonde murmured as Rogue lead her onto the dance floor.

Needless to say, it was awkward between the two as they danced, they knew people were staring at them but they ignored it for the most part.

"This is probably the only opportunity I'm going to get to talk to you so I might as well get it over with," Rogue stated as he looked down at the blonde.

"R-Rogue wh-,"

"The other day when you asked me if anything I ever said to you was true…you never gave me a chance to answer, so here I go," Rogue huffed as he took a deep breath.

"Everything I said, I meant it, when I said you weren't like any other girl, when I said you were beautiful, and more importantly, when I said I loved you," Rogue explained as his piercing red eyes met Lucy's soft brown ones.

"The only thing I regret, is that I didn't get to know you on my own terms rather than on the terms of a bet, I know what I'm saying isn't going to fix anything between us, I'm not asking you to forgive me because I honestly know I don't deserve your forgiveness, I just wanted to make sure you knew that while we were going out, I really did love you, ands that's the truth," Rogue admitted as he took a deep breath, he didn't mind that the blonde was silent, he was just glad that she was letting him hold her anyway.

'I promise I'll win you back one day, it doesn't matter what I have to do, this is a promise I never plan on braking," Rogue thought as his hold on Lucy tightened slightly as they continued dancing.


And I'm done!
