When he got the Lucy's floor, the boy was already tired so he stopped to catch his breath. Bad move, because when stopped, from behind bumped in him Natsu. The pink haired guy was looking very happy and optimistic. Sting narrowed his eyes and asked the boy:
- Why are you so happy?
- I am taking Lucy out. It's gonna be awesome., Dragneel answered leaving a shocked Sting behind. Natsu walked towards Lucy's door from where he picked her up and they both left.
With fast steps, Eucliffe walked towards his and Rogue's room. He opened the door slamming it by the wall. His anger was obvious on his face.
- That damned Dragneel! Why did he...Ughhh... Grrr, Sting started frowning and groaning.
- Hey Sting, be polite and say "Hello" to mr. Makarov., Rogue interupted him while sipping from his tea.
- Huh? Oh, hello sir. I didn't know you were here., Eucliffe said trying to calm down.
- Hello, Sting. I have talked with your father. He invited me to his wedding and also all the students. Weisslogia asked us to write some songs for the wedding. Watcha say about it as a holiday homework?, Makarov looked at the boy being serious.
- Homework? For holiday? You gotta be kidding. And dad is serious? All the students?!, Sting felt his anger growing inside of him but then he felt a kick in his abdomen.
- Don't be an idiot. You can invite her as your partner or at least win her over. That Natsu Dragneel can't compare to you when it comes about dancing society dances., Rogue explained on a very low voice gaining a nod from Sting.
- And sir... do you know when dad's wedding will be?, Eucliffe asked with more interes than before.
- Yeah, at the end of the holiday. Over two weeks. It seems that Weisslogia was already prepairing this wedding.
This news made a smirk to grow up on Sting's lips. In his head a whole plan was being created. He was gonna write a couple songs that would put him in the spot light and then he would dance with Lucy. This was gonna work perfect and she would fall for him.
In the holiday almost everyone went home but Sting, Rogue, Lucy and some other students. Eucliffe had spent his holiday in the recording studio and the music room with Rogue. He would ocassionaly bump in Lucy.
After a week he had finally wrote a song. Sting entered in the studio with Rogue and started recording. Hearing someone singing made Lucy curious and went to see who it was. There she met Rogue sitting on a chair and watching.
- Enter., he said not looking at her.
- Are you sure this is ok?, she asked being not sure about that invitation. Rogue just nodded and then pressed a button.
- Sting, let's record the new song., Cheney spoke in the microphone gaining a positive answer.
"Putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
Yeah I think I'd have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right girl
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you I'm never good enough
When I don't care
I can play them like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make em' bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a man
Do my hair, wear suit and tie
Yes you, make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand"
- You look pretty surprised., Rogue stated with a small sirk on his lips.
- Well who wouldn't be... He expresses the feelings of this song so good... like he'd know how it feels to be afraid to fall in love., Lucy ran her fingers through her hair.
- He wrote the lyrics. Every single word., Cheney explained as he watched his friend.
"You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
You still make fun of the other guys
But when you come around I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Brings more trouble than it all is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you make me wanna act like a man
Do my hair, wear suit and tie
For you, make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I'll take off and run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I'll burst into flames
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack"
After Sting finished singing, Lucy got up and walked towards the door. She stopped and stayed in it when Rogue coughed.
- I think you should stay a little longer. Sting wants to ask you something. Am I right, Sting?, the black haired guy said looking at Lucy and not turning towards his friend.
- If you wanna ask me anything... I will be at the cafeteria., Heartfillia finished and left.
Just as she said, Lucy was in the cafeteria looking down at the coup of coffe in front of her when Sting came and sat at her table. The young man ordered a coffee too and turned towards the blonde girl in front of him.
For about 10 minutes she ignored him and pretending that she was thinking about something else. Eucliffe didn't give up that easily. He waited there and didn't move. His blue eyes were analyzing each inch from the cafeteria, the tips of his fingers were kicking the table and his nose was inspiring the strawberry and vanilla perfume which was coming from Lucy.
- Sooo... you are going to ignore me... ok. Well, if you wanna know, I wanted to invite you to my father's wedding, but since you ignore me, I'll take that as a "no"., After he explained everything, Sting put the money for their coffes on the table and then got up to leave.
- I'll send you a message with my dress's colour. Your shirt's colour has to fit with my dress's. And I'll also send you my adress., Lucy answer running the tips of her fingers slowly over his hand, sending shivers up and down his spine.
