Summary: A little omake from my Hoarding Lucy 'verse. Sting decides what makes Natsu so strong is having a celestial mage as his wife….this doesn't end well.

Pairings: implied Natsu/Lucy, some Sting/Rogue friendship, mentions of Fairy Tail family feels, worshipful Sting/Natsu, worshipful Rogue/Gajeel, and implied Sting/Yukino/Rogue.

Author's Note: OH MY GOD I NOW HAVE OVER A THOUSAND REVIEWS! THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU'RE ALL WONDERFUL!

"I have come to an epiphany about Natsu-san."

They were at the ball thrown by the king to honour them and all the other mages, when Sting randomly spoke up about Natsu. Rogue was trying to enjoy the buffet to offer (preferably before Natsu and Gajeel ate it all themselves), and paused for a moment to look at his best friend curiously.

"Oh?" he blinked. "What's that?"

"I have realised that his love for his wife makes him stronger," Sting declared. Rogue frowned slightly as he wondered if that was entirely possible. He had just thought it was because Natsu was strongly passionate about his guild as a whole. Gajeel held the same passion and was vicious during their battle in order to honour those many people he loved. "She inspires him to fight harder, remember during our battle in the fourth day?"

Rogue shuddered at the memory. And then he remembered something else, Natsu hissing that this was for them laughing at his Lucy, before he then delivered the final, devastating, blow on them. Even the dragons weren't as terrifying as Natsu had been during that moment, and he was starting to think Sting had a point.

"I think you are right."

"Good," Sting grinned. "So I have then decided since Natsu-san marrying a celestial mage made him super-powerful then I have to marry a celestial mage myself!"

Rogue choked on the chicken leg. "What?!" he squeaked. Where the hell did Sting get that stupid idea from?! It was so obvious that it had nothing to do with Lucy being a celestial mage and everything to do with the fact that Natsu was so besotted with her. I mean you just had to look at them now, they were wearing matching pumpkin masks, while dancing slowly with one another, and staring at each other adoringly. It was sickening to watch. "That's so stupid!" Rogue snapped. "How will you find one?"

"Oh that's easy," Sting smirked, and then, much to Rogue's horror, he skipped over to Yukino who was discussing something with Mirajane from Fairy Tail and several Mermaid Heel girls, tapped her on the shoulder, and then the moment she turned around he blurted out; "Yukino-san! I demand that you and I get married this very minute."

The other girls' jaws dropped at that while Yukino flushed a very bright red which brought out her lovely brown eyes.

"I-I-I," Yukino stammered.

Rogue had to admit he snapped at that. How dare Sting put Yukino in such a situation? She was far too shy and had incredibly low self-esteem after what they did to her. Angrily, he marched up towards the pair, determined to rescue her from having to answer to such a stupid demand.

However, once he heard Sting trying, and failing, to woo Yukino in the idea, and saw her red face go even redder and cringing slightly, he completely lost his temper.

Rogue suddenly punched Sting very hard in the face. "That's not how you propose to a woman!" he shouted furiously. "You fucking moron!"

"Ah Sting-kun," Lector sighed, having watched the whole thing as he enjoyed the sushi selection. "He's awesome at everything but he isn't very good at asking ladies out."

"Fro thinks so too Sama!"
