FAIRY TAIL DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!
Chapter 6: Weird Blondes
Lucy P.O.V
It had been a week since I joined Sabertooth, and everything was going well... So far.
After my confirmation into the Guild, Master left the Guild for a meeting, and everyone loosened up and started chatting with me, introducing each other, getting to know me better. "Wow. To Think that Master Jiemma could do such damage..." I said to the crowd. "Yea, I know right? We always have to be on our best behavior whenever he's in." Minerva said sheepishly, sweat dropping. Everyone else laughed nervously too. Minerva also invited me to stay at her place, immediately after seeing that Sting was inviting me to stay at HIS house. I was glad that I was saved by my Min- chan, she totally spared me all the awkwardness I had to deal with if I had said yes to Sting. Minerva's crib was totally wicked! Her place was so tricked out with statues of Greek gods and goddesses. It was magical, but not as beautiful as my room back home in the Celestial Realm.
"So, do you like it Lu-chan?" Minerva asked me hopefully. "I LOVE it Min-chan! It's so cool and... And wow!" I told her truthfully. She blushed and told me I was the first person she brought to her home. I was honored, to think I was her first friend. That made my heart glow, literally. When Minerva saw this happen, she was astonished. "Lu-chan? Whats happening?" "Oh, this? This happens when I'm happy..." I said with a smile. Minerva responded with a hug, well more like a tackle, to the soft carpeted floor. We giggled the night away, more than satisfied with our new sleeping arrangements.
I mostly spent the week with Min-chan, shopping for a new image for me. I had switched my tube heart top and baby blue mini skirt with a pretty navy blue tank top and a pair of jet black ripped leather jeggings. I had to admit, it made me look... Stronger. Not like the weak Lucy I used to be. I was satisfied with my new look, and was turning to find Min-chan, but she was searching hastily in a rack of glittery robes. "Aha! Lu-chan look here, this is perfect for you!" she said gleefully while holding up a sparkly robe that was decorated from the hem to the collars with gold glitter, layered on top of a pitch black night sky velvet coat. It was like it was made especially for me. But I was dismayed by the fact that I didn't have enough jewels to cover the cost of the coat. "Min-chan, it's beautiful, but I'm afraid I don't have enough cash." I said, clearly disappointed. "That's okay Lu-chan, take it as my welcome gift! I'd be ever so glad that you'll be wearing something I chose for you!" she said, cheerfully and hopefully. I was so grateful to Min-chan, having her as my best friend was such a blessing.
So we walked out of the shop, happy with our purchases. "Say, Lu-chan, since you're low on jewels, why don't you take a job? It's about time anyway." Min-chan asked. "You're right Min-chan, wanna go with me? I don't feel like going on a solo job..." I replied with a tint of loneliness. I had always hated solo jobs, they were so lonely. "Ehh! I'm so sorry Lu-chan, but I can't! I would really like to though... But I-I'm already uh g-going on a three day job w-with s-someone..." she said while blushing wildly."You mean a three day trip with Rufus-kun..?" I blankly pointed out. Then Min-chan blushed a bright red. I giggled. It was so cute seeing her in love."Lu-chan! Don't say it like that!"she said covering her face. After her recovery, she regained her usual egoist confidence and asked with a smirk," So why don't you go with, you know...Sting?" It was my turn to be flustered. Minerva laughed triumphantly and we walked back to the guild teasing each other.
In the Guild, it was chaos. Woah. When the Master is out, everything goes nuts. Chairs were flying everywhere and there were brawls happening around the guild. But when Minerva and I walked to the center of the Guild, everyone started behaving. Minerva's power and authority was absolute. I smirked, knowing my best friend was a control freak and everything had to be in place and in order. She barked at everyone, asking them to shut the hell up and tidy up. Then I recalled what Min-chan had said to me and went to the request board to start looking for a job. They were pretty easy for me to handle, considering the fact that I was one of the most powerful mages in the guild. But I still didn't want to do it alone. I scanned the guild, looking for someone I could ask. Then I laid my eyes on a certain blonde... Leaving with Min-chan happily, and secretly. Sheesh. There goes my best friend, courtesy of Rufus. I continued to look around, and finally saw a the blonde dragon slayer. He was sitting alone sipping wine from his glass. (A/N I did this to compare with Fairy Tail, saying that the tigers are super high-class, and the fairies just drink beer. Haha.) He looked rather glum and bored, so I just shrugged an walked up to him. "Hey there. What occasion should have caused you to be this glum?" I said teasingly. "Don't tease, blondie. Rouge left me to go on a job by himself, Frosch and Lector." he grumbled. "So your free now?"I questioned. "What's it look like blondie?" he replied with a bored expression. I blushed. I don't know why I had to, but I did. Sting obviously noticed and slyly smirked at me, seductively saying "What? You wanna go on a date? If you ask, I'll gladly give you one..." "NO! I mean, could you like, just go on a job with me!? A-and stop calling me blondie! You're blonde too!" I blurted out while blushing red all over. "Huh? Aren't you strong enough to do one alone?" he replied, raising a brow at me."Yeah... B-but I'm just, uh, I'll just f-feel really... Lonely. And I don't like it." I said sadly, hanging my head low, so he wouldn't see me blush. I got no reply from him and of course I found it weird, so I shot a quick glance at him. And what I saw was a red-faced Sting!
He was blushing!? I was shocked. I knew Lector said that he had a crush on me, but was it really for real, or was he just messing with me? Sting and I just stayed silent for a few seconds, until Sting broke the silence, as usual. Jeez Lucy! Why must you be such a weirdo!
Sting P.O.V
Holy shit! Lucy just asked me to go on a job with her! Wait, that means it'll just be me and... Lucy! Oh crap oh crap, if we're gonna do this, I'd better choose a overnight job... Sting Eucliffe! What are you thinking?! Okay okay.., calm the fuck down...don't act uncool in front of her! Wait a second, she's hanging her head low to keep me from seeing her blush, isn't she? Fuck. That's making me blush more. Then the next best thing happened, she. . . Oh shit. Now I look like a total loser. Then we had one of those awkward silences again, so I simply said "Uhh sure Luce, can I call you that? It's better than blondie..." then she flashed one of her million dollar smiles at me. I loved that about her. "Thanks Sting! Lets go look for a job now!" she said as she childishly pulled me towards the request board. "H-hey!" I struggled to say as she made me lose my grip on my wine glass. CRASH! The glass broke and the wine spilled all over the ground. "ugh Lucy!" "whoops." then I got Bella the barmaid, to clean the mess up. "Lucy,you gotta chill.." I said to her. "Sorry Stingy! I'm just excited for my first ever job!" she grinned. What? Her first ever job in Sabertooth was going to be with me? I suddenly felt... Really happy. Oh god Sting, you know you like her. Who knows? If all ends well you might be able to confess... I could definitely feel my cheeks burning up when I thought about me and Lucy as a couple. Jeez Sting! Stop being such a fucking weirdo!
When we were at the request board, we realized there weren't much jobs to choose from. There were only two good paying jobs, and they were either destroying a dark guild, which would have ended in a day, or a job that involved a stake out. Stake out, eh? I'm definitely taking that one. I could really use some alone time with Lucy, or Luce. We agreed to meet at the train station at 7 in the morning so we left the guild to rest early for the long trip the next day.
Lucy P.O.V
Oh my stars! Me and Sting are going to have a stake out together! I blushed at the thought of being alone with just him. Sigh. If only I knew if he felt the same way I do about him... Anyway, I'd better sleep early, I got a big day ahead.
-Next day-
Sting P.O.V
Damn it... Morning already? I was never a morning guy... Shit! What's the time now... Please don't be past seven please just don't ... Phew. It was six, pretty early for me. Usually I would just go back to sleep, but this is Lucy we're talking about! I gotta freshen up for her... Wait what? Whatever... Ever since I first saw her In the GMG, I've been head over heels In love with her. I'm so fucking messed up...
I took a quick shower, using my favorite herb scented shampoo and body soap. I made sure to shave too, didn't want to look sleazy in front of her. Then I reached for my hair gel, spiked up my blonde bed hair, picked up my tooth brush and tooth paste and started carefully brushing my canine teeth. After washing my face again, I checked myself out in the mirror. "Sting Eucliffe, why are you so fucking handsome?" I said to my mirror image. I loved my huge ego. Then I changed into my usual clothes and casually walked out the door. It was only six forty-five, and I still had time to spare. "Well, the guy should always be ten minutes early!" I smirked, with this weird sense of achievement.
Lucy P.O.V
I had woken up at five. Yes, I was crazy weird. I just wanted to look my best for Sting... I felt so embarrassed doing something as stupid as this. But I did anyway. I took a long, relaxing bath, bathing in my signature vanilla and strawberry scented bathing solution that I had created myself. Yep, that's why my scent is always one of a kind. After my bath, I brushed my teeth with ease, but making sure to get rid of anything that was hiding between my teeth, which resulted with me flossing. Next, I did the most expected thing to do for when girls are preparing for a date : I spent an hour deciding what to wear! Luckily for me, Min-chan wasn't there to nag at me for making a mess, throwing clothes here and there. Then I remembered, Min-chan! Min-chan and I went shopping yesterday! How could I be so stupid to forget... I quickly pulled out my freshly ironed and folded set of clothes from my wardrobe, and carefully wore the creases out of my new clothes. I felt so confident in my new attire. Then I pulled on my golden glittered coat and checked myself out in the mirror once more. Wow. I too was surprised at how beautiful the combination looked on me. I felt like a masterpiece. "Cancer!" I said as he arrived with his scissors in his hands in a puff of white smoke. "What can I do for you today ebi?" "Just give me a cute hairstyle that'll match my look." and Cancer started curling the ends of my hair and adding extensions on the way. When he was done he showed me how I looked in the mirror, and I was astonished with what he had created. I had wavy blonde hair and striking gold highlighted extensions. "Thanks Cancer, you're the best !" I said as I closed his gate. "Anything for you princess~ ebi" I quickly made my way to the train station, I was going to be late!
Sting P.O.V
Man, where the hell was that blondie? I came here ten minutes early, but she also five minutes late? When I see her, I'd better punish her... Suddenly, I smelt the sweet scent of vanilla and strawberries in the air. She's here.
Then, from the corner of my eye, emerged a beautiful and stunning blonde in a navy blue tank, black jeggings and a glistening gold coat. She stepped in front of me, bowing and saying "I'm sorry, in sorry!" turns out the blonde clad in combat boots was actually blondie. She was so beautiful. Why am I so fucking weird? I keep saying that Lucy is beautiful, shit,keep calm Sting.
Lucy P.O.V
When we boarded the train, it immediately stared moving, and as a dragon slayer, Sing naturally felt sick to his stomach. "Sheesh, Sting. Come lay on my lap, it'll make you feel better. With no other choice, Sting obeyed and laid down on my lap. I blushed furiously, as I didn't realize that Sting was looking directly at me. I really couldn't take it. I was burning up a fever! I quickly shoved him off me and he got up all angry, but went back to being sick. I laughed. And I could also hear him mutter under his breath "Weirdo Blondie." "Hey! Your weird and blonde too you know!" but Sting was already fast asleep, back in My lap. I sighed. Why are we both so weird and blonde? Sigh. What will happen on this overnight stakeout?
Woah there. Since I wrote about Minerva and Lucy in the first part, I split the Sticy job part into two. Sorry to those who were expecting lots of Sticy! Also, for the Sting P. , Sting has a vulgar personality, so pardon all the vulgarities _ Remember to review & I hope you enjoyed this chapter and will continue to support me!
