Sting POV
Lucy-sama stared at me with wide eyes.
"Is that your dragon, Stingy-bee?"
"Yep! He disappeared seven years ago. I've been traveling with another dragon slayer, Rogue-kun! He's a shadow dragon slayer."
"Stingy-bee, go find Mira, the lady at the bar and stay with her. I need to talk with Laxus, okay?"
"Okay, Lucy-sama!" I smiled and ran inside after hugging her. I bolted through the doors and ran up to the bar. "Are you Mira-san?"
"Yes, who might you be, kiddo?" She smiled sweetly at me.
"I'm the great Sting Eucliffe! Weisslogia's dragon slayer!"
The woman clapped her hands together and giggled. "Are you joining the guild today?"
"I dunno. I'm waiting for Lucy-sama and Laxus-san to come. They said they had to talk. Where's Rogue-kun?"
"Rogue?" She tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"Sting."
I turned around to see my emotionless best friend behind me. "Rogue-kun! I found Lucy-sama! She's talking with Laxus-san right now." He looked me in the eyes and nodded. Suddenly, his eyes shifted over to two men fighting in the center of the hall.
I recognized them from sorcerer weekly. Natsu-san and Gajeel-san. I smirked. "I'm going to go join them." I said to Rogue-kun.
"Stingy-bee! Come here! I have great news for you!" I heard Lucy-sama shout. I forgot all about joining the fight and ran over to her with Rogue in tow.
"Yes, Lucy-sama?"
"Laxus and I would like to adopt you if you'd like. You can stay here and join Fairy Tail. What do you think? We'd be like a family." She smiled at me.
"If you take Rogue-kun, too." I pointed to my best friend.
She looked at Rogue-kun, then at Laxus-san, who gave her a small nod, then at me. "Of course. We wouldn't want to split you two up now, would we?"
I pumped my first into the air! "Otōsan! Okāsan!" I have parents! Just like Weisslogia told me. He said I would find people who would love me. I found my family. Rogue even looks happy to have a family, too.
"Oi! Lucy!"
She looked up to see Natsu-san and Gajeel-san walking over to her.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Who are the kids?" Natsu-san asked.
"And why are they calling you and Laxus their parents?" Gajeel-san inquired.
"Meet our two new sons," Laxus-san stated proudly. He clasped a hand on my shoulder. "Sting Eucliffe,"
Lucy-sama ruffled Rogue-kun's hair. "And Rogue…"
"Cheney. Rogue Cheney." Rogue-kun said monotonously.
"You adopted them?" Gajeel-san asked.
"Yes, of course. Young boys like them need proper parents so they don't end up wild like you." Lucy-sama stated matter of factly.
"Okāsan, can we join Fairy Tail now! I wanna be a fairy!" I whined.
"Of course, Stingy-bee." She turned towards the bar. "Oh Master~" She sang. "We have two kids I'm sure you'd like to meet."
A short old man hopped off the counter of the bar and walked over to us. He was a few inches shorter than me.
"Hello, kiddos! Are you here to join Fairy Tail?"
"Meet your adoptive great-grandsons, Gramps." Laxus-san smiled. "We'll be taking them with us when we go to the place we discussed."
"Wahoo! It's about time, Laxus!" The old man cheered, causing the rest to cheer right along with him. "What color and where do you want your guild mark?"
"Left shoulder! White!"I yelled, making Laxus-san rub his ear in annoyance.
"Left shoulder. Black." Rogue-kun stated much more calmly.
Mira-san came over and stamped us on our shoulders and smiled. "Welcome to Fairy Tail."
"Wahoo!" I yelled as my fists ignited in my white light. "Otōsan, Okāsan." I hugged them both. "Thank-you."
"Anytime, Stingy-bee. You, too, Rogue. This a family thing. You join this hug, too." Lucy-sama commanded.
And surprisingly, he obeyed. He wrapped his arms around our new parents and smiled a very faint smile. "Thank-you, Okāsan, Otōsan."
The guild we just joined partied for the rest of the day. I met all kinds of people even a few dragon slayers, like Wendy-chan. They also have exceeds like us. Lector and Frosch both love having other exceeds to talk to. Okāsan and Otōsan are so strong, too. Otōsan is a dragon slayer like us, except he's second generation, while we're third. He's so kind to Okāsan, too. He must really love her. I can tell she loves him, too. Okāsan loves Rogue-kun and I very much, too.
Gajeel-san has taken quite the liking to Rogue-kun, too. He even calls him by his other name, Ryos. They often talk about their dragons and other stuff I don't really pay attention to.
I walked over to Okāsan, who was at the bar and climbed into the seat next to her that wasn't occupied by Otōsan.
"So S-Class trials are coming up, Gramps. Who's competing this year?" Otōsan asked the old man.
"Gray, Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Elfman, Freed, Cana, and Juvia. It's going to be held on Tenroujima this year. I have a feeling that the divine protection is going to be needed what with Natsu and Gray competing at the same time. We have quite a while to wait before the trial, so we can breath easy for a little while longer. Though, I should be asking which one of you is going to help with the exam. One of you has to stay with your kids, now."
"Laxus is going." Okāsan said quickly. "I don't think it'd be fair of me to leave my kids or to face my own guild mates. I couldn't raise a hand against them."
"Or you'd beat them so badly it wouldn't be fair of you to participate." Otōsan agreed, nodding his head.
"What's S-Class?" I asked.
"Ah, well, my boy. S-Class Mages are elite members of a guild, and usually number among the most powerful individuals in the guild itself. Only officially recognized S-Class Mages are able to undertake difficult S-Class Jobs; lower-ranked Mages may only accept an S-Class mission if an officially recognized S-Class Mage is also participating alongside them. These missions are said to be so dangerous that even the smallest mistake can lead to the Mage's death. However, in return, the pay is very good, easily going into millions of Jewels." The old man said proudly. "Your parents here are both S-Class Mages. Both of which are level with the wizard saints."
"Come on, Gramps." Otōsan scratched the back of his neck, averting his eyes from the old man. "We aren't that strong."
I was amazed. My parents were awesome! And strong, too. I want to be just as strong as them one day.
Did you hear that, Weisslogia? I've found the family you hoped I would.
Well, I hoped that cleared the air a little bit. I have a plan of action. I really wanted to add Sting and Rogue to the story so here. They're Lucy and Laxus' kids. Their keeping their last names since Lucy and Laxus aren't married. Next Chapter in a few days or maybe later today. I dunno.
Love,
