A/N: I'm so sorry! gomenasai! It's pretty short, but I really wanted to post a new chapter on Halloween! I hope you all get a lot of candy!
Sting's POV
Sting led Lucy by the hand outside the hall. Deep breaths sting reminded himself, he's never been this nervous before.
"What is it that you had to tell me?" Lucy asked. Sting stared into her big chocolate eyes. How could he not love this girl? She's so beautiful and kind... too good for me.
"Lucy, please listen until the end, okay?" Sting hesitated. He was starting to feel heat rise in his cheeks. He took a deep breath and went all out with it.
"You're my mate."
Lucy's POV
Wa- what… huh? What did he just say? She was left speechless, confused what to think or say.
"Sting-g, I-I" Lucy tried getting words out, but her mouth was left dry. She looked up at him, only to notice that he had been staring down the whole time.
"It's okay" Sting comforted her.
"I know what we are, and what we're not." With that, sting took her hand and lightly kissed the top of her hand.
"Enjoy the night." Sting said and walked off.
It had been 2 days since the Ball and Lucy hadn't shown up to the guild.
"I wonder why Lucy hasn't shown up..." Mira mumbled, sincerely worried for her nakama.
"Oi, I'll go check up on her" Natsu insisted.
Natsu walked along the path that led to Lucy's house, not knowing that somebody had watched him walk into Lucy's house. Natsu walked into the house, hearing soft sobs.
"Luce, you okay?" he walked over to her bed and sat down beside her. She started to cry even harder, confused what to do; he gently rubbed her back until she calmed down.
"T-Thanks Natsu" she sobbed quietly. He just nodded his head, knowing his best friend was crying over the blonde dragon slayer.
"He's not far from here, you know" he quietly mentioned. Lucy's eyes widened and sat up immediately.
"w-who?" her voice shook. It couldn't be him... She thought.
"Sting." he bluntly stated. He noticed Lucy flinched when he said his name.
"Sorry." he apologized, feeling even more troubled on what to say to the sensitive blonde.
"It's okay" she quietly mumbled.
"He won't stay away for long, by now he should be in really bad shape." Natsu added. Lucy just nodded, slowly falling asleep.
"Sleep for now, I'll check up on you later okay?" he gave her a grin, Lucy just faintly smiled back.
I climbed through the window and saw the blonde beauty sleeping peacefully. I walked over and could smell salamander all over her. I scrunched up my nose and gently blew all over her. That should take his scent away, he thought. He leaned down and lightly kissed her forehead.
"Good night, Lucy" Sting smiled and jumped down from the window.
