"say a word about this and i'll make sure to ruin your life in just a snap of my finger."
Natsu threatened, scaring the poor blond that is still processing about what had just saw. peeking over Natsu's shoulder, Sting saw their director look to the side and avoiding his gaze.
turning back to Natsu, he gulped at how scary he looked and made a zipping motion on his lips.
"Sir Eucliffee!" Yukino pouted as she poked the pen to the blond in front of her that's mentally out of the library they are in. "you're spacing out."
Sting blinked and again recalled the scene of Natsu and Lucu kissing inside the office. his eyes went to the shorter in front of him and slowly went down to her pouting plum lips. "sorry"
"honestly, do you still want to help me?" all day, Sting was not himself. he keeps on looking at no where and has been so careless.
you can't blame Sting though, he was still surprised about seeing a vice and a director having a make out session yesterday when he came to the office.
he could see Natsu having his arms wrapped on the director's waist, and Lucy's hands gripping on to the suit. their lips were dancing as if they were in a dance competition and as if it's been so long since they've done it.
replaying that in his head every second passes, Sting grew more and more curious about their relationship.
Natsu didn't say anything about their relationship, he only told Sting to shut up or he'll end his life in one go. which Sting was also scared to happen which is why he's shutting his mouth about it.
"Sting fucking Eucliffe!" Yukino crossed her arms as she called out Sting's name to get his attention.
the older being called out gave the female one apologetic smile.
"where were we?"
Yukino groaned at the older. if only he wasn't that cute then she would have left Sting alone in the library since the first minute they were here.
The younger then froze at what she had thought. Sting, cute? shaking her head, Yukino opened her mouth and was ready to curse at Sting again but was stopped by a familiar face who sat next to Sting across her.
"what's happening here?" Natsu greeted the two with a bright smile as he placed three files down the table where Yukino and Sting are at.
Of course, he earn a look from Sting meanwhile Yukino flashed him back with a cute smile.
turning to look at Yukino, Sting let out a scoff when he saw the younger look all shy. "S-Sir we were just studying."
"Recycling?" Natsu peeked at the file Sting is holding and took out a file he brought to their table. "I have something for that! i think this will help."
Yukino raised a brow at Sting before clasping her hands at Natsu.
"really?" She took the file Natsu gave to her and hugged it very tight.
"been there done that." Natsu chuckled at the female's cute actions, making Sting's blood boil at Natsu's attention to Yukino. "I know what's going to come out."
"you're a very big help sir Dragneel." Yukino's sweet smile now went to Sting who's sinking down to his seat. "unlike a specific someone here."
the saber toothed then clicked his tongue as he looked to the side, avoiding the two. "show off."
"Agria!"
flinching from her seat, Yukino sighed as she placed the file down that's been given by Natsu down the table as she was called by the receptionist. She then stood up from flashed the two a smile. "i think i need to go and help the receptionist for a moment."
the two nodded their heads before watching Yukino waddle away. Sting leaned to his seat after and went to reread the file he and Yukino were studying way before Natsu arrived.
he was so focused, well tried to be focused, but a chuckle from the Vice snapped him out from his focus.
"isn't Yukino cute?" Natsu said, looking at Sting to see the reaction he wanted to see.
"look, don't you dare drag Yukino into this." he slammed the file down and faced his chair to the pink head next to him. "you go to your beloved director and leave Yukino alone."
"calm down Diego" Natsu snorted and patted Sting on the head, which earned a growl from the blond but still continued to pat him. "i'm just complimenting her"
"Natsu"
"Sir"
"Nat-su"
"where's the sir?"
"answer me Natsu-"
"Sir" Natsu continued to annoy the younger by forcing him to call him Sir.
Sting heaved a sigh and decided to give in as he was too tired to agrue now. "Sir Natsu, what's your relationship with miss Heartfilia?"
Natsu was glad that Sting whispered that question or he would have choked the younger for asking that in public. even though the library had less student right at this hour, Natsu still didn't want to risk anything.
"we are nothing."
well, he isn't lying, he's only there just to show love and affection to the kid, give money to Lucy for suppert, and just take responsibility.
he has no feelings attached to what he is doing to them. he is only taking responsibility and that is all that's there. but it made Natsu wonder why he suddenly asked Lucy for a kiss and not mention that they were at the office.
He could have waited till they arrived home but no, Natsu just had to trap the director at the shelf and ask a kiss from her.
"but you kissed her." Sting raised a brow, not believing at what the older said. "tell me, are you the father of the kid?"
Natsu turn to the curious boy with his brows furrowed. he couldn't cannot believe Sting can be this nosy.
Just when he was supposed to answer that question with a lie as he couldn't afford letting anyone know about his secret, their secret, a familiar fluffball came to their way and made Natsu shut his mouth tight.
"sorry it took me long." Yukino plopped down to her seat with a cute pout.
Natsu chuckled and ruffled the younger's soft locks. "it's okay Yuki."
Yuki? Sting sat on his seat with eyes shooting daggers to Natsu as he watched the scene unfold, moments later, he then had an idea in mind and made him smile like crazy on his seat.
that went noticeable to Natsu but shrugged it off thinking that Sting might have remembered something from the past that's so funny.
but nope, Sting had a plan.
as break time ended, they had to go to their separate ways and Natsu had to yet again survive another hour Lucy's project meeting.
He was mostly quiet, when he's quiet active and voicing his thoughts in other meetings. It is surprising how no one noticed it yet.
Not like he wanted someone to see that, Natsu entered the large meeting room and went to the center where his laptop and files were already opened and ready.
he prayed for the time to end fast.
in the middle of discussion and just as when Natsu was dozing off, Lucy stopped speaking when she saw the door being pushed open.
raising both her brows, a familiar looking blue tag employee came in the room and earned whispers. Natsu was too sleepy to even notice. he was about to take this chance to sleep when he heard a familiar voice echoing inside the silent
"Miss Heartfilia, i came to give you your record." Sting handed a thick looking book and then pointed the same one down on the desk. "you kinda switched yours with Miss Clive"
"oh?" Lucy blinked and opened the record down to her desk and saw that it was different from hers. chuckling, she gave it to Sting with a small smile on her face. "thank you Sting"
the boy nodded with a smile, sending a teasing one to Natsu who was wide awake because of his presence inside the room. "was i disturbing the meeting?"
Lucy shook her head as she patted Sting's shoulder. Natsu squinted his eyes and tried to burn Lucy's hand away from Sting's shoulder but failed to do so. "It's fine, thank you again for this."
"no problem miss heartfilia!" Sting said with his tone very bright, as if he really is one bright kid. he himself was even screaming internally for acting as someone who's not even him. "i'll get going now."
"you're training the interns right?" Lucy opened the door for the blonde and watched him walk out. "don't be hard on yourself okay?"
everyone was shocked at the director being all worried. then again, it's probably because Lucy is quite close with Sting.
but actually, Lucy is just doing it for the sake of Sting not spreading any news of what he just saw inside the office yesterday.
a specific man in suit inside the room was not having it.
"don't overwork yourself miss heartfilia!" Sting said as he took a bow and leaving the room for intern training.
going inside the room before closing the door, Lucy's smile disappeared so quickly and turned serious as she went back to discussing the ppt. everyone was so focused but someone was spacing out with his eyes outside the window.
he couldn't believe that Sting really did that. for what, just to annoy him?
was it because he was all over his Yukino a while ago? Natsu smirked, two can play that game.
"I'm sorry but I'll be leaving first, please continue with the presentation?" Natsu said cutting of Lucy.
the director just sighed and nodded her head at Natsu. She waited for the Vice to go out of the room before she continued discussing.
they were having intern training, that's what Natsu heard. he then went to get a water bottle and then headed off somewhere near to the north top floor to check if they were there, Natsu continued to walk and stopped by near the only room to see a couple of employees coming out.
with a smile on his face, Natsu made his way towards the room and saw familiar faces talking in a group of people.
there were whispers going around the small room because Natsu, the Vice Chairman, was there but he didn't mind and continued to approach the group of people with countless of eyes on them.
finally getting their attention, Natsu's smile grew wider and could feel a glare on him. "Yukino?"
the group of friends stopped laughing and turned to the man who came to visit them, or to be more specific, he came to visit Yukino just to get back at someone.
the short female showed a bright smile despite of being confused. "S-Sir?."
feeling Sting's eyes digging right through his soul, Natsu managed to keep a smile on his face as he handed out the water bottle to Yukino. "i was worried you were tired."
barging the door open, Sting came stomping when he reached the rooftop and grab a fistful of Natsu's white shirt and jackets just to make him face him. "what are you doing?"
totally unfazed, not even a tiny bit scared, Natsu raised a brow at Sting.
"what are you doing?"
this man was acting like he didn't do anything wrong when he did. he made Natsu's blood boil with all the interactions he had with Lucy.
meanwhile, Natsu also made Sting so annoyed in everything he does for Yukino.
"you said you and miss heartfilia were nothing so why would you get mad at me?" Sting said, gasping as he realized the situation. "is this why you were acting all ideal, complimenting her, and being so nice to Yukino?"
running a hand through his hair, Natsu looked away and not bothering to answer Sting. even if he does want to answer, no words would come out of his mouth.
"Sir, stop." Sting said, begging. his fists were clenching as he looked down while biting his lips.
looking down at the younger, Natsu was slowly feeling guilt as he saw him being like that. "what-"
"it hurts seeing someone other than me making Yukino smile." Sting looked up, "I love her, and i'm hurt seeing that she'd rather be with you than be with me."
he did feel bad but it's not like Sting didn't do anything to him. "you started this."
"i.. what?" Sting had his jaw dropped when he was blamed. "is it because i was being so close with miss heartfilia?"
looking away again, Natsu didn't want to answer.
Sting then spoke since Natsu won't say anything. "you said you had nothing going on with her!" he said, already this near to punching. "why would you be affected?"
right, why would Natsu be affected? it's not like this is the first time he had seen Lucy being with Sting.
"if you love her then you should have told me." Sting said, going closer. he had the urge to shout in front of his face but then again it's the Vice Chairman he is talking to and not to mention about Natsu's family background.
maybe he'll get his life ended if he snaps at Natsu.
"I don't love her."
"don't lie." Sting frowned, why would he lie? is it because it's an orphan director and a soon to be chairman?
they are totally in different ranks in life?
love is love.
"it doesn't matter if you're older, you're younger, you're rich, you're poor, you're in love with two people, you two are boys, you two are girls, or you two are too old for it. love is love, there's nothing to be ashamed in love."
"i am not-"
"look at me, i'm in love with Yukino. My parents are against it but you don't see me denying that, do you?" the blond said, still not breaking eye contact with Natsu. "i love Yukino and i am proud that i fell for a wonderful human being like her"
Natsu paused for a moment, surprised to see Sting being like that. is he seriously being educated at someone who's younger than him and probably not as experienced as him? whatever Sting is doing right now, he's doing agreat job opening Natsu's eyes.
approaching the younger, Natsu's face softened as he gave sting that sad look. Sting too didn't expect to see that look on Natsu's face. he was expecting for the older to get mad at him.
"can you keep a secret?"
This will be a long ride, so I hope you stay with me!
