Ello everyone :3 , now this chapter was kind of rushed since I'm in a hurry right now! But I'll do another one laterr! :3 Enjoy~
(Lucy's POV: )
I woke up bright and early the next morning as I decided to do some quiet early shopping. I quickly got dressed and then ran out of my apartment heading to the shops. Knowing I would want some company I decided to summon Plue after all it had been a while since I summoned any of my spirits. Due to the fact my life was even crazier now having to tend after a dragon slayer.
"I wonder what we're going to buy today Plue!" I sang carrying Plue down the street.
"Puu-puun!" squealed Plue.
"You're right Plue! We're probably going to have to buy more food considering Sting eats most of it with Lector!"
I then realized if we were going to buy a lot today, I would need help carrying all the bags. Usually Natsu would be the one assisting me with my shopping, but I didn't want to bother him either. I guess today I decided to spend the day with my celestial spirits.
"Open the Gate of the Lion! Leo!"
"Your prince has arrived." Loki said bowing lightly.
"I feel like I haven't seen you in a long time!" I said as we began to walk in the shops, Loki nodded as he watched me browse the aisle.
"So what have you called me today for?" Loki asked with curious eyes.
"Well, I kind of need help later carrying the bags!" I blushed in embarrassment. I felt bad for calling Loki for this task, I mean he looked like he was ready for a mission and a battle.
"Oh it's no worry princess! Of course I'll do it for the sake of love!" He said as he grasped his fists in the air.
I laughed I had missed this guy so much, after all he's not just my spirit but my friend. I then started pulling out tons of food from the shelves, as Plue danced around on the floor.
"May I ask why you're buying so much food?" Loki asked raising an eyebrow then chuckling, "Is it because of your cravings again? Is it time already?"
I smacked him on the arm playfully, "No, it's not because of my cravings this time. It's because of a certain dragon slayer and his certain cat. And one of them eats like there's no tomorrow."
Loki laughed, "I'm guessing its Natsu and Happy right?" He then watched me as I grabbed a wrapped fish from a crate of it. I then had just realized Loki probably doesn't know about Sting and Happy yet.
"Actually nope!" I placed the fish in the basket, "It's actually someone you wouldn't think of."
Loki gave a smirk, "Gajeel and Pantherlily? Wendy and Carla? Laxus?"
I shook my head, "No, no, and Laxus doesn't have a cat and he has Mira so obviously no."
Loki's eyes widened, "Alright I give up tell me." I let out a deep breath, this was probably going to be a huge shocker for him especially when I haven't even told him who.
"Well it's Sting Eucliffe from Sabertooth." I said looking at the ground, his smirk then suddenly turned into a quick frown. Oh no, was he going to freak out or is he going to stand there the whole time quiet?
"Woah that's a shocker now" he rubbed his hand in the back of his head, "Where is he now?"
"I kind of let him sleep in today since he barely fought with Gray and Natsu. And they've realized to accept him so I thought I'd let him take a break."
Loki slightly nodded, "So does that mean he… you know…" He then imitated biting something and pointed towards his own neck.
I snorted at him, "You looked like a vampire for someone trying to imitate a dragon slayer! And yeah he did." I then brushed the hair off my neck revealing pure white scales. Loki examined them and nodded grinning.
"Well it's about time you found someone! Now to the main thing: Is he treating you like I do? A princess?!" Loki asked all seriously, like no really there was no goofiness in his voice.
"Yeah he is!" I said while I placed the jewel on the counter to pay for it, "You know when I first met him I thought he was the biggest jerk. But then once you get to know him he really has a kind heart."
He nodded as he grasped a few bags off the counter, "The other spirits have been wondering why you haven't called upon them lately either. Virgo has been telling me she needs her punishment, Taurus misses your body of course, Gemini have been dying to see you again, and practically all of us spirits have been missing you dearly!"
I felt a warm feeling rush through me it was nice knowing my spirits missed me a lot and cared for my well-being as much as I did for them.
"I'm sorry I haven't called on any of you in a while! I'll be a better owner and call on you guys even more from now on! I can't just leave you guys aside like that! You're not just objects and you have feelings as well! I love you all so much!"
Loki let out a big smile, "And we love you too!" I then gave him a hug but it was then interrupted by a terrifying, deep voice. As I broke from the hug I turned to see who it was, and I dropped the bags slowly on the ground. It was Sting.
(Stings POV: )
"I came out to look for you and this is what I find?" I said clutching my fist, I was more pissed then ever right now. Who was the guy Lucy just hugged, and why did she hug him? Most of all why did he say I love you all so much to him?! What exactly is going on here?
Lucy then looked at me with widened eyes, "Sting it's not what you're thinking!"
"Well it sure looks like what I'm thinking!" I hissed at her. I knew that I was giving her the voice I gave Natsu back when I was pissed at him but that's because he touched Lucy and now I see Lucy touching another guy. It wouldn't have mattered if it was someone from the guild but now it was some unknown guy I didn't even recognize.
I then began to walk up to the orange-haired guy as Lucy then stood in front of him shielding him.
"Stop it now Sting!" Lucy said spreading her arms out wide, "Loki's a close friend of mine! There's no need to attack him!"
Loki gawked his mouth opened, "So princess, this is the Sting guy that mated you?"
"Yeah that's me and don't call her princess." I snarled at him while he just gave me a sly smirk. I just wanted to punch the lights out of that guy right now.
"Loki I think it's time for you to go back." Lucy said frowning, "I don't want you to get hurt right now because of me."
Loki then nodded as he faced towards me then Lucy, "Alright princess. If you need me just call." He then disappeared into thin air.
"Serves him right for leaving, another second longer and he would've been dead." I muttered.
Lucy then began to slowly pick up her bags she had dropped and the bags Loki was carrying. She then quietly brushed past against me, as I turned around to look at her walking away from me.
"Oi where are you going!" I said as I accidently roughly grasped her wrist.
"Don't touch me right now Sting!" she said as she pried away my hand away from her wrist. I watched as Plue helped her carry her bags and then the little snowman thing stuck his tongue out at me.
"What's the big deal!" I shouted from behind her.
She then turned around with tears in her eyes, "It's you right now actually! I just came to the shops with Plue to get food for tonight, so I could cook a good meal especially for you! Loki is one of my celestial spirits and one of my closest friends, he was just helping me with the bags that's all! I had hugged him because I missed him!"
"So are you trying to say you love this guy more than me?" I said sneering down at her. I could tell my expression was terrifying by the way her lip was quivering, and her whole body was shaking in fear. Her mouth was gaped opened as more tears fell down her face.
"Now you're just assuming things!" Lucy screamed as her eyes started to become red from crying so hard, "Is it really that bad for me to talk to another guy! When you're the one who went behind my back and let a girl snuggle up to you back at the casino?! Yeah I saw all of that! I didn't say anything because I thought you were going to be truthful and actually confess to your mistake!"
The blood in my body was starting to boil, "At least I try my best for you! First Natsu kisses you and you started to defend him. Now you're hugging someone I didn't even know! How was I supposed to react to that?! How was I supposed to know he was one of your worthless celestial spirits!"
I then realized on what I had just said, it just blurted out. Lucy's celestial spirits meant everything to her, they were precious to her. She didn't treat them like shields or objects, but like friends and comrades. I could tell this time I had finally pissed the hell out of her.
Lucy's bangs were covering her face as she then said something I never thought she would have ever said.
"That's what I hate about you, you calling my friends pathetic and worthless! Sometimes I just wonder what if you actually took Minerva's plead for you to go back to Sabertooth!"
"Maybe things would have been better that way…" she muttered.
I then noticed her legs were all wobbly, and her face was streaming down with tears. She quickly picked up her bags and ran off with Plue. Great, I just majorly screwed up things with her.
"Sting-kun is Fairy-san going to be mad at you?" Lector asked looking up at me.
I growled in my throat, "Whatever let her be pissed off see if I care." I then walked past Lector kicking everything in sight that was on the ground. To think she'd be so mad, she'd even tell me to go live a life with the witch. I sighed in anger I didn't really know how I was going to pull through this one.
(Normal POV: )
Lucy's eyes were completely red by the time she got home as she slowly turned the knob of her apartment. Everything was completely how she left it except Sting had done the bed. She let out a sigh as she placed her groceries onto the couch placing food one at a time into the refrigerator.
Plue and her plan was to just go put the groceries into the fridge, and then head straight to the guild.
As she was doing that her gaze caught a nicely wrapped pink box onto the counter with a rose and note attached to it. She quietly picked up the box as she noticed it was addressed to her from Sting.
She began to slowly un-wrap the box her hands shaking, and her heart thumping to know what was inside the box. She took a deep breath then at once tore off all the wrapping paper. She then let out a small gasp on what the box revealed.
Inside was a picture frame with a picture of her and Sting intact into it. It was taken on the Akane Resort beach Lucy was on Sting's back and they were gleaming out a smile and sparkling eyes. She smiled as she noticed there was a charm bracelet with a lot of tiny cute charms on them. She then widened her mouth as she noticed that each charm resembled each of their times together.
She then slowly grasped the note with her hands shaking as she began to read it.
Well what do you know blondie! To think it's been approximately three months we have been together! Damn time flies by fast, and I couldn't think of anyone else than you to spend it with! When I woke up this morning I realized you weren't here so I am deciding to go look for you in a few minutes! And since I never say this most of the time, I'm taking the time now to! Lucy Heartfilia you're honestly the most beautiful person ever. And you may think you're not strong, but heck you are! And I'm sorry for how I've treating you in the past. But yes, I'm glad to have you as my mate! Proud more likely! Anyways I love you Lucy! –Sting
Lucy felt tears starting to stream down her face again her face getting all red. She let out a deep breath just reading this note made her feel so guilty. Especially for all the things she had told Sting earlier. She should of said something to him earlier or at least should have left him a note telling him where she'd be.
She quickly picked up her bag and slammed open her apartment door. Lucy knew that Sting would probably be at the guild by now, and she also knew she had to apologize to him. After all the nasty things they had both had said to each other she had to make things right. Not because it was the right thing to do but because she loved him dearly.
(Mira's POV: )
I watched as Sting kicked opened the guild doors with his hands still in his pockets. He began to head over to the counter, and I could tell that he was really fuming with rage and he was annoyed. Sting then plopped down on the counter stool next to Gray and Natsu.
"I'll just have the usual…" Sting said as he rested his head on the counter. I nodded and went to grab a mug.
"What's wrong with you?" Natsu asked while chowing down on his flaming chicken. Gray raised an eyebrow as he slurped his snow cone watching Sting slam his head on the counter.
"Lucy and I got into a fight…" Sting said silently as I placed the mug in front of him. I placed my hands on my hips watching Gray and Natsu widen their mouths.
"What happened?" I asked while serving Natsu another serving, "Was it really such a bad fight?"
Sting gulped down his drink, "To me it was." he then slammed the mug in front of him, "It was to the point that she told me I should of taken Minerva's offer and lived a happy life with her back at Sabertooth. But I had said some awful things as well."
"Oh then it must have been bad…" I softly said as I picked up his empty mug. He had drinked away all the booze that was in there, "But you know drinking away your problems aren't going to fix them."
He let out a long sigh as Natsu slammed his fist in front of him, "Come on Sting! Like Mira said you can't drink away your problems forever! Instead how about try making up with Luce?"
"Yeah trust me that's the way you'll fix things with Lucy, it'll work." Gray said taking another slurp of his snow cone, "Of course Natsu would know since he probably pisses off Lucy the most."
Natsu then glared at Gray, "But anyways, just go to her! After all we're nakama!" Natsu then gave a toothy grin to Sting who nodded his head and then who turned to me.
"Mira what do I say to Lucy?" Sting asked with desperate eyes. He seriously looked like he had no clue on what to say to her.
"You'll figure out what to say when you see her." I said cleaning an inside of a mug, "She'll understand what you're trying to do."
He nodded his head, thanked us and then scurried out the guild doors. That boy was seriously determined to make things right with Lucy.
Cleaning the outside of a gleaming glass mug I couldn't help but smile, "He's change a lot since we've first met him!"
I asked facing towards Natsu and Gray who was leaning against the counter. They were snickering and nodded their head.
"Yeah he has." The two then said in unison.
"You know Nastu, he kind of reminds me of you!" I said giggling while Natsu spit out his drink.
Eeeek this chapter was really rushed D': I'm sorrrry ! Next chapter will be when the two poops make up ;3 I was thinking on having them go on some make up date or something. ANY SUGGESTIONS! ? I might actually listen to em ;3 Who knowws!
