"The reports have to reach the sub division by 12"

"Is it my fault that you couldn't solve such minor problem at the factory?"

"If you haven't prepared for the presentation get out of the office"

a thick binder was slammed hard down the table, making a loud thud, snapped Natsu out from his deep thoughts.

Every employee inside the cafeteria turned around to his direction but quickly looked away a second after. they didn't want to get scolded again by Natsu.

Natsu glanced up at the boy in front of him who's giving him a look for a split second before putting his attention back to ipad he in hand "is that how you treat your boss?"

"you're scaring everyone."

Natsu didn't bother to look up and entertain the employee seeing that he didn't even know how to be respectful towards someone who's years older than them.

"Natsu Dragneel." Sting took the device that's taking up all of the boss's attention and raised it up high. "what's wrong with you?"

"tell me what you want to tell me right now." Natsu said with a sigh, not even planning to fight and get that device from Sting. not like he even paid attention to it. "i don't like wasting time."

"why are you suddenly like this?"

standing up from his seat, Natsu hovered over the younger male but Sting stayed brave and still has that look on his face. Natsu didn't want to cause a scene which is why he decided to leave.

"Natsu!"

Natsu paused from his tracks, Sting used this chance to grab the older and drag him to where he can shout and scold as loud and as harsh as he can.

strange, Natsu just let Sting drag him. just a while ago he was so against to talking to the boy but now he just let Sting do whatever he wants to do.

maybe because he knew that deep inside he also wanted someone to talk to. he wanted to go to someone and just cry on to that person's shoulder.

last night wasn't the best night he had planned it to be.

stopping by at a specific corner, Sting glared at whoever passed by them making them scurry off.

He then made Natsu stand there as he checked to see if there are still people nearby before turning back to Natsu who's having his full attention to the ground.

"did something happen?" Sting questioned, wanting to slap himself for asking the obvious.

"what do you think?" Natsu clicked his tongue as he leaned his back on the cold wall.

Sting sighed. he wanted to snap at Natsu for no reason but he held himself back as he didn't want to hurt Natsu. he didn't know if he was really hurt but he looked hurt, Sting could see the sadness from his eyes, and he didn't want to hurt Natsu more by his words, even if Natsu will try to deny it, Sting still can find the truth by looking straight to his eyes.

"hey.. i don't know if we are friends or what." Sting looked down with his hand on his nape and rubbing it, "but since I'm the only one here who knows your secret, you can always come to me for-"

not even letting Sting finish his sentence, Natsu threw body towards the younger and hugged him tight. Sting almost lost his balance at the sudden action but managed to take a step back to support both his and Natsu's body from falling. Natsu might have forgotten the difference of their body's built.

"Sir?" Natsu spoke as he rubbed circles behind the older's back.

the older took a deep breath before speaking, but not letting go from the hug. "i fucked up big time."

"why? what happened?" Sting made sure to be soft with his voice and careful not to shout at Natsu. seeing how vulnerable the older is, Sting really had to be careful. "miss heartfilia looks so happy today so what's with the sad face?"

he's the only one Natsu has for now.

"She found someone."

the younger's eyes then widened after hearing the older's voice cracking and also hearing some sniffing sounds coming from him. "b-be quiet, don't c-cry." right at this moment, Sting wanted to just jump from the fourth floor for not knowing how to comfort someone.

"i don't know why.." Natsu bit his lower lip as he pulled away from the hug, he then covered his face and wiped the ears that keeps on falling from his eyes. "fuck, why am i crying?"

he could see the other having a hard time speaking properly and he couldn't even breathe calmly with his his nose clogged. Sting then tucked his hand inside his pocket and took out a bright yellow handkerchief, giving it to Natsu who's crying silently.

"it's okay to cry." Sting said, patting the older's shoulder as he watched him. wipe the tears away. "it's okay to be hurt."

"I'm hurt.." Natsu mumbled, his voice barely clear but Sting understood. "why does it hurt so much?"

Sting wanted to shout at Natsu, 'because you love her!',but decided to stay quiet for the sake of not making the situation worse. he continued to pat the older to comfort him and stayed silent thinking that Natsu needed someone to listen to him.

"i should be happy." Natsu forced out a smile as he stared down at the bright yellow handkerchief which is now drenched with his tears. "i'm happy."

is he?

"I'm.." Sting panicked, with his hands going everywhere in the air, after seeing Natsu burying his head down to his palms and sobbed a little too loud. "I'm not happy."

"Sir i know you're going to deny this but of course you should not be happy about this." Sting said, finally speaking after being quiet for a while. "you don't want to see someone you love loving someone other than you."

someone he loves? that statement was ringing inside Natsu's head.

"you're gonna say you don't love her. but, would you feel this way if you don't love her?" the younger took the older's hands away from his face and made Natsu look at him.

"then.. i love her?" Natsu said, finding the words right as he said it. "i love her." he said it again to make sure if it really is right.

"you love her." Sting smiled, finally putting some sense into Natsu. "and if you love her, aniki! you should be strong. you should not let emotions get the best of you. so, is miss heartfilia dating that someone? are they together now? no, right? so make a move before."

"i love her!"

the younger flinched when Natsu suddenly shouted without warning. Sting's eyes scanned the hallways and sighed in relief after seeing that there's no body there but them. "yes sir, you love her"

"I love her" Natsu placed a hand on his chest as he could feel his heart beating fast,"Sting, i love her!"

"so what are you going to do now?" Sting tilted his head, feeling confused and surprised that Natsu got over it so quickly.

maybe Natsu is that perfect-actually no, it even took him this long to realize that he loved this person

a smile made its way to Natsu's lips. "I'm not just one strong bean." he then gave Sting the drenched handkerchief, earning a look from him but didn't mind it. "i'm also one possessive bean."

"bean?" Sting shut his mouth tight to prevent a laugh from escaping.

the older then rubbed his neck after realizing what he had just said, princess is really rubbing her terms on him. "i got it from Sol."

"you know.." Sting gave the older one wide smile. "you're going to be the best father for her."

"and you're going to be the best husband for Yuki." Natsu said, teasing the younger who immediately got red after hearing that. "you know, you're so good at talking about love. have you confessed to Yukino yet?"

Natsu's eyes glanced up to a pencil skirted woman coming towards their way but quickly looked down at Sting who's still flushed of the compliment he received from Natsu a while ago.

Fortunately, Sting didn't notice him looking up or he would have also turned around to see where Natsu was looking. "i haven't. i'm planning to though but i'm shy." Sting mumbled as he looked down.

"want to practice? you helped me with my problem, it's time for me to help you too." Natsu placed both of his hands on his hips and gave Sting a look. "now, it's easy as i love you."

easy when he can't even say that to Lucy.

taking a deep breath, Sting gathered the courage to look up at Natsu and could then feel his legs shaking.

he was already imagining having Yukino in front of him, with her beautiful skin shining, innocent eyes looking at him, and plum lips parting. he can't help but be weak in front of the beautiful creature, how on earth is he going to confess?

"Yukino, i've been wanting to get this off of my chest since forever." Sting started to speak, not aware of the heels stopping by her tracks upon hearing her name. "I love you, not as a bestfriend, it's much more than that. i love you Yukino Agria. I love you so much."

"Sting Eucliffe?"

his eyes widening, Sting's jaw dropped after hearing a familiar soft voice and seeing Natsu's teasing smile.

Slowly turning around, there stood the beautiful creature he described awhile ago. with her beautiful and perfect skin shining, soft hair making her look like a big baby, mouth open in surprise, and innocent eyes looking at him with shock.

Natsu, loving the moment, pushed Sting lightly towards Yukino and it snapped the blond out from his thoughts. finally understanding the situation he is in.

"fuck."

"Natsu?" the mother stood up from the sofa after seeing her son coming inside the house. "you're home early."

the son only nodded his head and made his way upstairs, making the mother wonder why he was such in a hurry.

she then followed her son and took small steps towards Natsu's room that's open widely, hearing some shuffling sounds inside.

because of curiosity, she peeked inside the room and had her eyes wide open. Natsu had bags and suitcases laid down on his bed and he was.

Coming in and out from his walk in closet, she stood there frozen for a couple of minutes just watching her son do his work before finally getting back to reality and walking towards his luggage.

"what are these?" she questioned, eyeing Natsu who just came out from his walk in closet to and is holding a pair of shoes. "what are you doing?"

"I'm old enough mom." he simple said, eyes fixed on the clothes he is arranging to be placed inside the bags and suitcase. "i'm old enough to live alone, to get out from this boring house."

"what?" she was still confused, she had the need to place all of his clothes and shoes back inside her son's closet but her body stood there, frozen.

"I'm leaving this house." he said with a smile on his face. "don't worry, i will come to visit at times, go attend the meeting if i get informed, and i'll still be going to office."

"why are you doing this Natsu Dragneel?" she was mad at her son's sudden decision. where were they lacking? why did Natsu want to leave all so suddenly?

"just because." he has a responsibility to take care of, but she doesn't have to know.

it's for them to find out, not for him to tell them.

"you're father is going to be furious." she said, still convincing her son to stay even after seeing him already bringing the luggage out of his room and then making his way down to the living room.

"he's going to be happy, i swear." he said with a bitter smile, making the mother pause from her place. "he won't see someone bothersome like me inside this house anymore."

"Natsu!"

Lucy and his princess are waiting.

"Natsu Dragneel!" his mother's high pitched voice echoed inside the once silent living room.

lucky for Natsu, his father is still out working, if he would be here then Natsu wouldn't be able to leave this house. "mom, i'm going to be fine. promise."

"you're hiding something from us." she said with a frown on her face, now standing by the front door. "aren't you Natsu? you didn't answer me the last time."

Natsu placed everything inside his car, which is bought using his money he earned that's why he has the rights to bring it with him, and then turned around to give his mother a look.

"what are you hiding from us Natsu Dragneel?"

with a smile, "a beautiful blessing." he said before getting inside his car and driving away from the place.

a beautiful blessing indeed.

Lucy and their princess, his family.


he loves her, he loves my girl what have you written nari!!
