Lucy's POV

Lucy groaned and slowly forced herself to get up that day. it's been 3 days but ever since the ball, it started to get harder and harder to get out of bed everyday. she slowly opened her eyes and looked out her window, it was cloudy and looked like it was about to rain. Loke and Virgo appeared beside her bed, frowning.

"Hime, you should go out today and exercise" Loke suggested lightly but also using force on his words. He gently helped Lucy get up while Virgo served her food and picked out an outfit for the celestial mage. Lucy nodded noticing she felt physically weak, having trouble to get up. Virgo helped her eat and get dressed for the day.

"You can go back, Virgo" Loke ordered. she nodded her head and left.

"Are you okay, hime?" Loke asked worriedly asked his master. Lately he's gotten mental warnings that told him his master was in danger, and she was in danger. She was heartbroken and he didn't know why.

*flashback*

"was it Natsu?" he was fuming. Lucy could feel his anger fill the room. She shook her head left to right while sobbing into her pillow.

"was it Gray?" He asked gentler than before. Once again she shook her head.

"Lucy, you can tell us" Loke was desperate to get a word out of her but wasn't ready to give up just yet. All her spirits came out in their own magic just to try to cheer up their master.

"You don't need a boyfriend!"

"You still have a ammazingg body!"

"Time for a new haircut -ebi?"

"I'm sorry!"

"Punishment time?"

"moshimoshi!"

"Lucy Lucy, let's play!"

"pun, PUUUUN"

"Lucy-sama, Layla-sama wouldn't want to see you like this"

She just cried even harder and all her spirits were confused what to do or what to say. Loke and Virgo had come out every few hours to take care of her well-being.

Lucy clipped on her belt that had her whip and keys attached to the belt and left her apartment with Loke to the guild. She walked to the guild while Loke supported her as she could not support herself. They walked through the doors and see everybody gone quiet and stared at her. For the first time in a while she felt confused.

"Why are you all staring at me..?" she quickly casted her eyes down and nudged Loke to help her move towards the bar where Mira was the only one not in shock, in fact she had a big smile on her face.

"I'm so glad you're finally back, you got us worried there you know?" Mira smiled while drying a mug.

"Lu-chan!" Levy ran towards her and tackled to the ground. She had a lot more strength than she showed. Lucy felt as if Mira knew something but waved it away, smiled faintly knowing she still had Fairy Tail around.

Sting's POV

"Another one!" Sting yelled at the bartender, slamming his now 4th empty glass on this counter. The bartender scrambled to get the dragon slayer's drink ready, knowing what would happen if it wasn't ready in time. Nothing could numb his pain of being rejected by his own mate, all he could do is drink away his problems and hope to Mavis she wouldn't be touched by another male. The bartender gave him his 5th glass while Minerva strode up and sat in his lap.

"You're even sexier drunk" she purred. Sting just gave her an annoyed face and waved her off.

"Piss off" he grunted. Minerva was furious. once again he had rejected her and had the nerve to tell her off?

"Now Sti-" Rogue cut her off.

"Leave the poor guy alone, Minerva. C'mon I'm bringing him home" Rogue slapped down jewels to the bartender and grabbed Sting's arm and supported his weight leaving Sabertooth.

"how much did you drink? Lucy wouldn't be happy to see you like this" Rogue spoke to sting. Minerva perked up. Lucy.. Lucy.. where have i heard that name.. Lucy.. of Fairy Tail. she clicked her tongue. He and that weak fairy had a thing? Oh my, this will be fun.

*at rogue's and sting's house*

"OI DID YOU HAVE TO PUNCH THE WALL" Rogue was getting pissed off at sting's behavior. He needed to man up and claim the blonde celestial mage before something bad happens. Sting just went to his room and locked the door. He flopped down on the bed and heard his exceed speak.

"Sting-kun, are you okay?" Lector asked worriedly.

"Yeah im fine Lector, no need to be worried" Sting had a small smile for the exceed.

"Is fairy-san your mate?" Lector questioned. Sting sat up immediately and looked over to Lector. Lector had an unreadable face and didn't know how to answer.

"Why are you asking Lector?" He shot back, feeling irritated by the memory of her.

"I heard Minerva was going over to Fairy Tail today and mumbled Sting and Lucy" Lector admitted to him. Sting shot up and ran out the room frantically, as fear and anxiety washed over him.
