Chapter 20:
Sting slouched on the couch next to Wendy who was watching some entertainment things for kids here age on the television. He zoned out thinking on how he'd act and what'd he do when Natsu and the others return from where they had last saw him. He especially wasn't ready to see Lucy's sad expression around the house.
Wendy then drew her attention off the TV and to Sting as she noticed the blank expression onto his face. She could tell he was thinking about what was going to happen when Natsu and the others come home. She seriously felt such sympathy towards the White Dragon Slayer since she understood that he didn't do anything but that it was Yukino that had kissed him.
"Sting-san, I hope you and Lucy-san make up soon" Wendy said looking at her fingers as she twiddled them, "After all, I know you would never do that to her."
Sting gave a tiny grin to Wendy as he then ruffled her dark-blue hair. Even though she was still young, she understood everyone completely.
Mira then came into the living room holding two glasses of lemonade as she placed them on the coffee table in front of the two, "I figured you two would be thirsty, so I prepared some lemonade for you both." She then took a seat on the couch sitting in between the two dragon slayers.
Wendy then went to grab the lemonade slowly gulping it down unlike Sting who just stared into the ice cubes swishing around in the lemonade. He honestly couldn't stop thinking of the moment which he knew he had to soon. If he wanted to somehow win Lucy back, he had to stop remembering that awful moment she had seen between him and Yukino.
Mira then snapped her fingers in front of Sting's face, "You'll get her back, I assure you. Just for now let her cool down, and let her get the steam out of her system before you think about talking again with her. Right now, she's confused about what she had seen when she doesn't even know it was all Yukino." She then let out a sigh and then a small smile, "And here I thought she reminded me of Lisanna, perhaps I was wrong."
"I just don't get why Yukino had to come back in the first place" Sting mumbled, "I mean sure Rogue and I were good friends with her, but it doesn't mean she can just reappear and kiss me out of nowhere."
"People's feelings can get out of control these days" Mira said sighing as she then heard the door knock which made Sting's blank face turn into a high alert one, "Ah, don't worry. It's just Laxus coming over with Juvia and the others."
Just to make sure Sting peeked through the window's curtains and sure enough, it was Laxus and the others. He let out another sigh of relief which made Mira smile and giggle as she went to go and open the door. As soon as Mira left the room, Sting went to head upstairs towards Rogue's room.
He knocked hardly on Rogue's bedroom door as he noticed the Shadow Dragon Slayer open it with a displeased look as if he had just been disturbed from slumber. Sting chuckled lightly as Rogue opened the door all the way so that he could walk in.
"This better be important Sting" Rogue said with his arms crossed leaning against the wall, "I was just about to finally head off to sleep until you interrupted."
Sting chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head, "Eh sorry Rogue, it's just that I'm seriously curious on what's going to happen when Lucy and the others arrive home. I mean they should have been here a while ago, but it seems like they had other plans."
Rogue ruffled his hand through his own hair as Sting continued telling him about his problems in life and worries and such things Rogue didn't really care about at the moment. He grumbled as he rubbed his forehead due to Sting's chattering.
"So what exactly do you need Sting?"
"Well just exactly is this whole thing going to play" Sting asked raising an eyebrow, "I mean I don't know if I can handle not talking to blondie for like the next two weeks until homecoming. What am I supposed to do then? Make her jealous?"
"I don't know Sting, my brains not working right now" Rogue grumbled as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "You know I'm not in a good mood when you wake me up, so maybe you should come back later when I'm actually awake and refreshed."
"Fine" Sting said walking out of Rogue's room as he closed the door shut behind him. He let out a sigh and groaned as he made his way towards his room. What he didn't notice is who was standing in front of his bedroom door staring at the door, as if they were waiting for him to open it. There standing in front of Sting's room was Yukino.
Sting clutched his fists tight as Yukino turned her head towards Sting her eyes widened at the White Dragon Slayer. Now he was surrounded by a white aura, with the white scales covering the side of his face, shoulders, and other parts of his body. His blood was boiling once again as it was earlier when he came back from what had happened.
"What're you doing here?" Sting snarled at her giving her a glare, "If you're here to apologize to me, just save it. I don't want to hear it, you already ruined things."
"I- S-Sting" Yukino said as she put her hand out to touch his arm as he then smacked it away.
"Don't touch me" Sting hissed as he soon heard footsteps running up the stairs revealing Mira with her famous glare implanted on her face as she placed her hands on her hips looking at Yukino.
"Yukino, I told you Sting didn't want to see you right now" Mira tried to say in a calm tone trying to calm her demon persona, "If you would be so kind, I'm going to show you the way out now." Yukino then glanced over to Sting one last time as she then finally headed down the stairs with Mira right behind her.
Mira then looked back at Sting and he noticed her face was back to its usual cheery self. She mouthed the words, "Food's ready." He then nodded calming himself down as the aura soon disappeared as well as the scales before he too began heading downstairs smelling the aroma of food.
What Sting didn't realize is that the table was not only filled with the other members of Fairy Tail but as well as three recognizable hair colors sitting in a row. A raven haired one, a pink haired one, and most of all the blonde haired one.
"Oh shit" Sting muttered lowly to himself. Natsu, Gray, and Lucy had finally arrived home and he was sure as hell he wasn't ready for the awkwardness that was going to be at the table now. Slowly, he walked into the dining room as he felt the tension rise in the air. Everyone else was chatting away not realizing his presence, while the three mages stood quiet watching him as he took a seat.
Sting tilted his head towards his plate as Natsu eyed him with his arms crossed. Sting could literally feel that Natsu was looking at him with his dark onyx eyes that weren't too happy right now. He let out a deep breath as he noticed Laxus was sitting right next to him raising an eyebrow at Sting.
Laxus had heard about the Sting and Lucy situation and he couldn't have been more pissed about it. He knew Sting didn't do anything horrible even though he didn't trust him fully. Sure Sting could be a self-confident jerk, but he knew he wouldn't ever do that. And for some reason it pissed him off on how Natsu was sending Sting these death looks.
Also, another reason Laxus was pretty pissed about this situation is because him, Mira, and Erza had to go through that Minerva thing to find out information which ended up in Rogue actually asking Minerva himself and confronting her about Sting and Lucy. And Mira was going to set Minerva and Orga together somehow which meant that Lucy and Sting wouldn't have to worry about Minerva going after Sting and attacking Lucy anymore. But what was the thing that Laxus had heard today? Sting and Lucy had broken up because of a misunderstanding. To even think no one even told Lucy on how it was a misunderstanding was unbelievable.
"Listen kid, I know were not the close of pals" Laxus said as he forked the food on his plate, "But I know you didn't do anything. Natsu's just overprotective of chickie over there. He'll get over it soon, if not I'll send him a good shocking to knock that into his dense brain of his."
Sting smirked and nodded his head. He felt somewhat good that Laxus too did believe he didn't do anything even though they weren't even the close of friends. He then felt a lot better as he began to reach over to grab the salt not noticing Lucy was doing the same exact thing. Their fingertips touched as they grabbed the salt which left Lucy completely wide eyed.
"You take it" Sting mumbled quietly as he swiped his hand lightly away from the salt so that she'd be able to use it. She thanked him quietly looking at her plate as she began to shake the little container. Natsu noticed Lucy being quiet and looked over to Gray nodding as the two soon began to cheer up the celestial mage.
Sting rolled his eyes in annoyance, he just wanted to tell Lucy on how it was just a misunderstanding right here and right now. He wanted to hold her tightly to him and never let her go telling her to stop crying. He just wanted to kiss her lips ensuring her that things were going to be alright between them, but he couldn't. Not now though. Rogue had explained everything to him on what to do and he had to do all of that at homecoming.
For now, Sting had to just act like he didn't care at all about the situation. He let out another deep breath as a confident face was now placed onto his face. He decided to push those things in the back of his head for now so he could go back to his regular self.
A grin curled onto his lips as he looked over to Lucy grinning as she quickly looked the other way. Sure, he was seriously worried about if this was going to work or not, but whatever the result was in the end. As long as Lucy was back to her regular self, he would be happy.
Sting grinned wider as he clasped his hands behind his head leaning against the chair. He was the Great Sting Eucliffe of Sabertooth after all. He'd always get what he wants in the end, and this was one of the things he hoped for most was going to happen. That Lucy and him would be back together after homecoming which was approximately two weeks away.
Sting sighed he guess he could go two weeks without speaking to blondie. Nope most obviously couldn't handle that since he was a chatterbox. He decided he would talk to the celestial mage as much as possible so that they'd be close enough for her to come back to him.
Erza then plopped down the box of strawberry cake in the middle of the table with an expression of excitement on her face. He could tell she couldn't wait to consume some of the cake within.
He chuckled lightly as Mira sliced a piece of cake for everyone as she then handed him his plate of strawberry cake. He thanked her looking at the sweet in front of him as he used his fork to grab a piece. He then rose it to his mouth as the flavor spread as it soon struck him that it wasn't just a strawberry cake. But strawberry and vanilla, that was Lucy's two favorite flavors in the world. He couldn't help but grin to himself as he looked up to the celestial mage who was looking at him as if she knew what he was thinking.
After consuming the cake piece, Sting started to head up to his bedroom throwing off his shirt showing his well muscular body and shaped abs. He turned off the lights leaving himself only in shorts as he then sprinted into bed staring at the ceiling as a smirk curled onto his lips.
"Don't worry blondie" Sting said quietly to himself, "I'm still your boyfriend whether you like it or not."
LET'S JUST HOPE THERE ISN'T A TWIST AT HOMECOMING LATER. I'M NOT THAT CRUEL TO DO THAT. OR AM I? ;D
