She longed to learn who she was and only he had the answer. Problem? He was in Sabertooth and she was in Fairy Tail, two rival guilds. On the road to get answers, she finds herself falling for his partner. [StingxOC] [RoYu] [NaLu] Other pairings inside.
The Shadow's Light
Sting X Nina (OC)
A Bright New Future!
A/N: I don't own 'Lost In This Moment'. Big And Rich own it!
A full year passed since Acnologia's defeat and Nina sat around the guild hall of Sabertooth, her brother and Yukino eyeing her as she was fidgeting slightly. Not only did Lucy finally finish her book she had been working on for years, she even got an award, according to Erza, who had been there. She, herself, had a very good secret to tell her now-husband. Her mind teleported back to their wedding day and how no one had a dry eye the entire time.
Flashback
August 27th, X792
Commotion echoed throughout not only Magnolia, but most of Fiore. Two of the dragon slayers that helped bring about peace were finally able to get married, technically unifying the strongest two guilds via marriage due to the fact she was raised in Fairy Tail but now lived in Sabertooth. Even the King of Fiore and the princess stopped by to see the wedding.
Nina looked at her reflection in the mirror, in awe at the dress. The ivory dress was dramatic yet romantic, the sweetheart ball gown's crisscross bodice was draped by hand, and the skirt's delicate layers of tulle cascade for weightless volume. Erza and Mira put her hair into a fishtail braid that wound around the top of her head, which was adorned in flowers, including the flower Rogue had given her so long ago being the focal point.
Lisanna did wonders on covering the scars she got from the war, smiling at her handiwork. "There we go, lovely as ever."
"Thanks, Lis." She said as she touched the side with the scar from the dragon fight during the Grand Magic games before she saw the one over her eye, the freshest one from Acnologia. Her eyes met Rogue's in the mirror, seeing him both in awe and a little sad at the same time. "Something wrong, Ryos?" She stood up and, with the three girls' help, walked over to her brother.
"It's... odd to see you so grown up, Lita... It's like yesterday we were just playing tag with Skiadrium watching over us and now... you're about the get married..." Rogue rubbed the back of his head as the two looked to see Laxus enter.
"Oh. Hey." He said before looking at Nina, smiling a little. "I bet he already said you look all grown up, huh?"
"Yeah... But... I like hearing it." She giggled softly.
"Well, you look very grown up. I swear it was literally yesterday you were brought to Fairy Tail by Gildarts... Now you not only found your real brother, but have made shit happen inbetween." Laxus shook his head. "I know I didn't say it a ton when you were in Fairy Tail, but... You're still gonna be my own little sister, no matter what name you go by. Love ya, Rose."
"I love both of you two, too. I couldn't ask for better brothers." She hugged both as Erza, Lisanna and Mira smiled.
Mira came over, wearing a long chiffon halter dresses, the waist gathering into a side cascade helping to keep the silhouette flattering, as did Erza, Lisanna and even Lucy, who was out keeping the male slayers away that weren't Laxus or Rogue. "We still need to get that veil on, Rosie~" She teased as she and Erza both fit it on her head. "There..."
Rogue then smiled. "I have an idea. Laxus... You've been with Nina the longest of the two of us... You should give her away."
"Huh? Isn't that your job? You're her blood brother." Laxus blinked when Rogue just strolled by him, making Nina giggle softly. "Wha.."
"You got the job of giving me away, Lax." She replied.
"I know Master will be speaking for Fairy Tail... Perhaps that's why Rogue left? To speak for Sabertooth, since you are marrying the guildmaster of Sabertooth." Mira said wistfully.
I see your momma and the candles
and the tears and roses
I see your daddy walk his daughter down the aisle
I feel my knees start to tremble as I tell the preacher
Don't she look beautiful tonight
Nina flushed and wanted to hide in the shadows, but with the grin on Erza's face, she was sure she wouldn't be able to stay there. "Thanks, Mira. Erza... Go let Lu-chan know it's nearly time." The two nodded and left, leaving Laxus shaking his head at Mira, which made Nina grin. "Ahh... You and Mira?"
"Hush. It's nothin." He said quickly before shrugging and giving her his arm. "Come on, lil' Rose..."
Her eyes watered at the nickname and nodded, placing her hand on his arm. Nina took advantage of being around Laxus and let it soothe her as she stood at the entrance to the aisle leading her towards her White Dragon Slayer, her mate and her lover. She knew she and Laxus were shadows due to the light behind them, the sun just setting behind them. She, however, could see Sting perfectly and her air rushed out of her lungs at how handsome he was.
All the wonderful words in my head I've been thinkin'
You know I wanna say them all just right
I lift your veil and angels start singin'
Such a heavenly sight
He had combed his hair slightly and wore an outfit similar to the one he wore at the ball celebrating the Grand Magic Games, when she had first asked to join Sabertooth. Instead of the frilly tie, he wore a simple black tie. He looked as nervous as she did, but he was talking to Lector, Shina and Froche. He had a tiny scar on his chin from Acnologia, but not as bad.
She was surprised to see the other guilds as well, knowing they were all friends now. Sherry looked her way and nodded to the pianist, who began the wedding march. Her grip tightened as her stomach filled with butterflies, which made Laxus look down.
"Yo, you doin okay?"
"Just... nervous... I mean.. I'm marrying him. It's different from mating..." She whispered as he patted her hand, which calmed her as they started their way to Sting, whose eyes widened at the sight of her. That was before they melted into the gaze he often held for her: one of love.
Laxus held her hand for a few moments before kissing her forehead in a brotherly way. "Love ya, Rose.." He said before handing her over to Sting, his eyes hardening in warning before he walked to join the others.
Lost in this moment with you
I am completely consumed
My feelings so absolute
there's no doubt
Sealing our love with a kiss
Waiting my whole life for this
Watching all my dreams come true
Lost in this moment with you
"Family and friends of Sting and Nina, welcome to their wedding ceremony. We take ourselves out of the usual routines of daily living to witness a unique moment in the lives of Nina and Sting. Today they join their lives in the union of marriage. Into this union Nina Lita Rosana Dreyer-Cheney and Sting Eucliffe now come to be joined. If any of you can show just cause why they may not be lawfully wed, speak now, or else forever hold your peace." The pastor then smiled. "Who gives this woman away in marriage to this man?"
Makarov cleared his throat. "I speak on behalf of her Fairy Tail family by saying, 'we do'."
Natsu grinned. "Us dragon slayers also give her away, too! Cause we're our own family."
Rogue rolled his eyes as he spoke. "On behalf of Sabertooth, we also give her away."
He nodded as he held his hand up. "I believe they have their own vows to say, so I shall begin with the groom."
Sting never looked away the entire time, nor did Nina, as he held both of her hands. "Nina... I vow never to stop loving you as I do today. To carry the warmth of our love over years through difficult times, up hills and over oceans. To be the banner-man of our love and yell to the wide open spaces filling them with these words: This is my wife and I love her. From you I've learned how to dream and what it is to have a loving partner who supports your dreams. I vow to help you in your dreams and desires, and to create a life, a family, and a loving home as your husband." He slid a ring to join her engagement one, bringing it up to kiss it gently.
Nina's eyes watered as she did the same, sliding a ring up on his finger. "Sting, I can't believe I'm standing here about to start a wonderful life together with my best friend, my greatest miracle, and the person I love most in this world. When we first met, the thought of us together was crazy and impossible. I tried to hide my feelings and did successfully yet painfully. We became closer over time and my feelings only strengthened. Then one ordinary day turned extraordinary when you confessed you had feelings for me. I told you how I felt and then you kissed me. I knew it was wrong but it felt so... right. Like we were meant to be together. You made me feel like everything was going to be all right."
"And now, by the power vested in me by the King of Fiore, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. Sting, you may kiss your bride."
Nina smiled lovingly as he lifted her veil before she went wide-eyed as he dipped her, kissing her softly before bringing her up to whoops and laughs. "That was mean..." She said, smiling softly.
He smiled softly. "Well, I'll be nicer then, wife."
That was the best day ever in her mind, but she learned that Sherry still could use magic, despite everything. She managed to beat out Minerva in the Sabertooth Eating contest, Sting ending in third while Rogue was last, which made her smile. Minerva had told her the secret to eating and she took it with both hands.
In Blue Pegasus, Ichiya was now their leader and Nina was still terrified of the man, considering the mental images he left her and her brother while those in Mermaid Heel were now models for Weekly Sorcerer.
She glanced over and saw her husband cracking his neck as he walked over. "Mornin', sleepyhead."
"Nnn... Mornin..." He tilted her head a little more to get a kiss before looking at her expression. "What's with that look, love?"
"I'm PREGNANT!" She announced, her eyes bright and smiling.
"What?! Seriously?! That's great news, Supergirl!" Sting cheered, spinning her around to the stunned faces of Rogue and Yukino. "You didn't even tell them?"
"Nope.. I didn't even tell Fairy Tail yet..." She said. "I wanted you to be the first to know. Plus, I gotta know all the relationships that happened. I only knew of IronHead and Levy."
Rogue chuckled. "You're so nosy, sis. You up for the visit?"
She nodded as Orga, Rufus and Minerva joined them. "You heard?"
"Hard not to. Congratulations." Minerva said. "We'll go with."
"But..." She began.
"But nothing, small-fry. We gotta see their reactions." Orga said.
Arriving a few days later in Magnolia, Nina led the way to her first home and walked in. "SURPRISE VISIT!"
"NINA!" The guild shouted as they all rushed at her, hugging and patting her head before she had to break apart and go talk to her blonde celestial spirit mage, who only laughed.
"Only you would get them excited again." Lucy said, hugging her.
"Yeah.. So... Who's with who?" She asked as she sat down and ordered water.
"Well, Gray and Juvia are finally together, as are Elfman and Ever..." Lucy said. "Laxus is still single, but there have been too many rumors about him and Mira, him and Lisanna, him and Cana, but you and I both know he's more into Mira." She said to a nod. "Before I go too far, what's with the visit?"
"Well... I'm pregnant..."
"Really? That's amazing! I bet Sting's happy."
Nina giggled. "Over the moon happy." She nodded in his direction to show he was still prideful, even when he was getting teased by Laxus about something. Blinking, she hopped up onto the bar. "HUSH! I gotta tell ya all something... I'm pregnant!" A few seconds later, drinks were going around and cheers erupted from the entire guildhall before she lept down to see Carla, Happy and Lily walk over.
"Well, that got the party going again." Carla sighed.
"Aye, sir. After we just got done partying." Happy said.
"It's never dull here." Lily agreed.
Nina nodded. "Anyone else together? I mean, with Hisui... I mean Queen Hisui.. There have been changes with our system, so it means Jellal and them are okay, right?" She looked at Erza, who was trying to stop Gray and Natsu from fighting. "Does that mean Erza and Jellal finally get happiness?"
"He was rewarded... Their pasts were forgiven due to their efforts in the battle. But... If you've noticed, she's been brushing her hair."
Nina nodded. "She used to before... It's so pretty." She then frowned when Doranbolt wheeled her adoptive grandfather down. 'His legs have actually gotten that bad? Poor Gramps.. He's still in high spirits, though.'
"Hear that!? I'm gonna be a great-grampa!" Makarov said, clearly drunk.
"You're not even related!" Gray shouted.
"Don't care!" He retaliated.
Nina laughed before blinking as a familiar person walked through the crowd. "No way... The... First?" She gasped, seeing everyone notice her before a man similar to Zeref start talking to her, stunning everyone. Her hearing picked up on the names, the girl being Mio and the boy Arius before the two walked away. "Any way... Are ya happy, Lu?"
"Of course. I'm surrounded by a warm feeling~" Lucy said, smiling. "By the way... Kianna is dating Erik... Or Cobra."
"Seriously? That's awesome. He wouldn't shut up about her before." Nina teased before smirking devilishly.
"U-Uh... N-N-Nina?" Lucy flushed at her look.
"What about you and Sala?" She asked. Lucy blinked before Nina noticed the blonde start tearing up. "NATSU! What the hell did ya do to Lu-chan!?" She stormed over to drag the fire wizard over. "She's cryin!"
"Gah!" Natsu was suddenly hugged by the weeping girl. "Hey, Luce, what's.."
"If I hadn't met you... I would have never lived any of this and met so many nice people... From the bottom of my heart... Thank you..." She said as she began crying more.
Nina felt her husband walk over and drape an arm around her as they watched. She leaned up to whisper. "I think... She's actually happy..."
"Really?" Sting teased.
"We should get to work!" Natsu said, making both Nina and Sting face-plant.
"When people think you're gonna do something interesting... You..." Lucy glared with her tears.
"It's okay... We'll be together forever from now on." Natsu promised before smiling. "We got permission to do a 100 year quest! Come on, Luce! I'm fired up!"
Nina pouted before she smiled at the guild that had taken her into their family, thinking about if fairies even had tails or if they even existed to begin with. It was the origin of the guild she grew to love.
Well... It's canon that Gruvia, GaLe and ElfGreen are together... With the hint of Jerza.. Then again... Mashima-sensei isn't one for 'romance', so NaLu can be canon...
Next chapter is all my story... But thanks to Hiro Mashima-sensei for giving me something that I, at first, hated with a passion... But, I grew to love Fairy Tail.. =D Hope I did justice to Sting-kun...
And yes, Nina is pregnant with the next generation! So, I'll skip a little to where I do what most people want: fuse Fairy Tail with Sabertooth to create: SaberTail! Or... FairyTooth... Or whatever..
