I don't own Fairy Tail.
We've lost it
Chapter 1
"Sting?"
"Yeah?"
"Tell me..." Lucy hesitated, biting her lip and rolling on her side to look towards her husband in the dark. She couldn't really see his face, yet, she guessed where he was. "What do we do?"
"With what?"
"With us..."
The man sighed heavily and also rolled on his side, turning to her. Even though they couldn't see each other, they didn't really have to. Both of them were aware of the expression of the other — and the pain in their eyes.
"I don't know."
"Me neither."
"Do you think we should think it over?"
Lucy blinked, feeling tears in her eyes. "Yeah... There's not much else to do."
He fell silent, then sighed again. "Come to me. Even though we're not so good anymore, I still hate to see you cry."
"You should have gotten used to it already." She sniffed and sobbed, creeping closer and letting her husband embrace her.
"I would never."
"What did we do wrong?"
"Nothing." Sting cradled her slightly, his face was painful. "Nothing, Lucy... It's just happened."
"I still love you."
"I love you, too. But I'm not enamored of you anymore... And I know you're not either."
She was swallowing the hot tears, his words still ringing in her ears. Her pride had been shattered, her consciousness ripped, her love questioned. And her feelings stood under a question mark. She was not happy anymore; for the last three months, every night they were lying together, crying into their pillows or thinking bitterly about the situation they were in.
"C-can we give ourselves some time to make a decision?" She uttered.
"Of course." He replied and clenched his fists. "Of course, Lucy."
The married couple was laying in silence, except for Lucy's sniffs, pondering. It was not facile to admit that their love lacked the enthusiasm... They were simply bothering each other. After three years of marriage.
"Sting?"
"Mhm?"
"What was it that made you enamored of me?" Lucy whispered, pressing tighter to him.
The man took a moment to think about it, then replied. "I think it was the spontaneity and the smile. Also, the small gestures you were giving out to me and later..." Eucliffe half huffed, half chuckled. "The sex."
"Oh."
"And in your case?"
"Also the small and a little bigger gestures; I've never been adored and you... You brought or sent me flowers, made dinner, things like that. Moreover, you were absolutely delicate when I needed it and rough when we both did. Perfect choice of attitude. Oh, don't forget about the surprise dates." Lucy smiled sadly. "The truth is, I'm not even sure what made me fall for you. I simply fell."
"Lucy... How come we messed up? This is ridiculous." Sting frowned. "We were perfect together. Happy. Complete."
"We were..." She sighed.
Soon, he started to breathe evenly and the woman took courage to gaze at him. His face was still wearing a grimace of pain. She caressed his brows to make the expression disappear — as always, it worked.
Suddenly, Lucy huffed and tears fell from her eyes again.
"No." She whispered, shivering. "I don't wanna give you up. I love you and I will fight for you. I will make you fall for me again. I swear!" He did not move. "I promise I will make you fall in love with me again... Sting."
I love Sting and Lucy together.
This story'll consist of six or seven chapters of different lenght, I really hope you'll enjoy it.
I wrote it more than a year ago - and I want to dedicate it to my friend, who went through the same thing with her boyfriend, was terribly unhappy and simply depressed for a long while.
Thank you for reading :) the updates'll be every week.
