Realization
Sting's pov
I was at my limit, fed-up, frustrated….just lost to the darkness of Lucy and Natsu. Minerva was about to get rid of my clothing when-
Knock – knock
I felt all my senses returning to my body. Lucy. Oh God! Lucy! I threw Minerva off and rushed to the door.
Normal pov
Rogue walked towards sting's room when his dragon sense smelt the mixture of scents coming from there. He knew something was about to play off. Being Rogue, he was just…curious. On arriving, Rogue knocked on the door and heard shuffling of footsteps and a heave of breathing. 'Be quiet!' was heard from behind the door and he recognizes it to be sting's voice. Rogue on smirked and patiently waited.
Sting's pov
I opened the door to the emotionless face of Rogue. For a minute I stared at him and the yawned.
"Rogue" I said with my eyes low. "It's late, you should get some rest."
"Let me in" was all he said in a monotonous tone.
I panicked a bit but didn't let my feelings show on my features.
"No. I'm gonna rest, tomorrow is gonna be a long day ahead of us."
"You should go to." I said in a boring voice yet anxiety was overwhelming me on the inside. What would Rogue say if he found out Minerva is in my room?
Something surprised me and left me dumbstruck at the moment. I almost saw a smile played on Rogue's lips.
Almost.
Rogue turned and made his way down the hall which made me breathe a sigh of relief. The moment I was about to close the door, Rogue caught me off- guard when he stopped and turned to look me in the eyes. I couldn't tell what he was thinking, his face was emotionless as ever but I knew he could read me like an open book.
"Tell that whore inside your room you need your rest," he raised an eyebrow.
"Or would you preferred to be entertained?" Before I could reply, Rogue took his leave.
My eyes widened and a bead of sweat trickled down my face. The hairs in my hands stand up and I was in utter shock. Rogue….
I slammed the door and my eyes crossed with Minerva. If looks could kill, she'd be long gone.
"Get out!" was the only words that left my mouth with my eyes low and my hair covering it.
When she didn't complied, I stared at her with flames engulfing from my eyes which was enough to scare her out of my room. As she shut the door, I sighed and laid on my bed. Just what kind of craziness is this? I bathed in the silence of my room and all was heard was my chest heaving when I breathed. I picked up my phone and saw the 12 missed calls from Lucy.
Right now I wasn't in the mood for anything not even food.. I switched off my phone and fell into a deep sleep.
Lucy's pov
He didn't answer. My mood was mixed. Sadness, depression, regret and a slight rage overcame me.
Sting…Why can't you understand sometimes? Why is it that there are always more bad times than good times with you? Did I really fall this hard for you? Or did I just want the pleasure of seeing you naked again? Since when was I so overwhelm by your existents?
I wish…i just wish we could talk in out, I wish things could be like that night….forever, when we had no care in the world.
Please just give me one chance to explain.
"Lucy" a soft voice whispered behind me.
This snapped me back to reality.
"Natsu, what's the matter" I said letting the depression show on my features.
"Who was that?"
"Since when did you become my father to question me?"
"I was just asking Lucy." He said slightly hurt.
I soften up when I saw the pout on his face.
"Lucy, about what I said, do you have an answer?" Natsu said with hope in his eyes.
That reminded me about everything that just took place. Could I really tell Natsu about Sting and I?
The real question was: Was there still a Sting and I?
"Natsu, I'm no one second choice, I'm worth more than that and honestly I do still love you….but I'm not gonna be with you.
When you grow up and realize that you can't always get what you want after you test out all the options. I'd rather be with someone who loves me than someone who I love.
Natsu I maybe love you, but I think I'm in love with someone else. Someone that I want to be with and I know deep down he might like me back.
I'm sorry."
With that said I ran off into the night sky not bothering to hear the yell from Natsu shouting out my name in full boom! Tears were streaming down my face.
This was reality. It's no fairy tale.
I rushed to my home but before I could make my arrival, I stopped when I heard Gajeel called out my name and Levy rushing towards me.
"Lucy-Chan are you okay? You seem hurt!" said levy in the sweet soft tone.
"Yo! Bunny-girl what's with that lame ass expression?" said Gajeel.
I laughed at their comments and action. This light up my mood and made me forget Sting and Natsu for a moment.
"Why don't you guys come inside and get comfy? I'd make you my famous pepper roti and we'd talk about it?" I said with a smile.
They both nodded and made their way in my house.
