Sting's P.O.V
Sting groaned weakly, displeased with the intense sunlight hitting his eyes. He peeled his eyes open just a tiny bit. The beam of light was shining through a small gap between the window and its curtain, and it was aimed to hit him perfectly on his face. 'Daisuke, Sting.' Her words still playing in my head. I shook my head and looked around me, I wasn't in my room. I felt an arm wrap around my bare stomach, I looked down and saw Lucy sleeping next to me. I blushed and tried to remember what happened last night. Oh yeah, Salamander must have punched me.
Damn bastard.
The sleeping figure next to me shifted, her eyes opened and she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. " Good morning blondie, I see you couldn't keep your hands to yourself." I said smirking. Lucy looked at where her hand was and blushed. "Shut up!" She said blushing.
" What's for breakfast, beautiful?" I whispered into her ear seductively.
She looked at me with a flushed face then punched my chest. Hard." Shu-shut up Eucliffe! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING IN MY BED?!" she yelled loudly. Kicking me off the bed.
At the guild
Natsu paced back and forth, annoying the ice and re-quip mage. "Natsu, calm down. Lucy is fine." The scarlet haired mage said sternly. "It's practically your fault Sting had to go back to Lucy's place." Gray said. But on the inside he was just as worried about the celestial mage.
"I can't calm down knowing that, that bastard of a pervert is with my Luce." Natsu said angrily. "She's not yours and you're not hers anymore, Natsu. Why don't you just move on already?" Lisana said annoyed about the topic. Natsu visibly flinched at Lisanna's words. She does have a point but when you love someone you don't let go of them so easily right?
Lisanna's P.O.V
About 10 minutes after Natsu's impatient pacing. Lucy and Sting walked into the guild, fighting about something.
"You are not going to sleep on my bed for as long as you stay at my house! You use the couch!" Lucy yelled. "I Don't wanna, your bed is nice and comfortable!" Sting whined. I looked at Natsu who looked like he was about to explode in frustration. I frowned, I don't get it. Why won't he just move on? I turned my attention back to the two. They both had calmed down but Lucy still had a slight scowl on her face. I saw Lucy turn to look at me.
Tch, stupid bitch.
I grabbed Natsu's head and crashed my lips onto his, I smirked against Natsu's lips. Natsu, Gray and Erza all just stared at me with shocked expressions plastered on their faces. I Heard Lucy gasp loudly, I looked at her. By then Sting had seen what u was doing, he covered her eyes and glared at me and Natsu.
Normal P.O.V
Lucy turned to look at Natsu and Lisanna, when Lisanna suddenly grabbed his face and kissed him. Lucy gasped getting Sting's attention, Sting followed Lucy's gaze and stared in shock but then his shocked face turned into a heated glare. He covered her eyes with his hand. Lucy felt hot tears piercing her eyes, she pushed his hand away and ran as fast as she could. She stopped in the spot she was standing and her eyes widened in horror. A carriage was approaching her, it had no driver the horses have gone out of control.
Lucy's P.O.V
I stood rooted on my spot, to afraid to move. I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out. I closed my eyes, ready for the painful impact but nothing came. I opened my eyes saw a pair of crimson red eyes, full of worry looking down at me. Before I could say anything, I blacked out.
I opened my eyes and scanned the room, I was back in my apartment. I used my elbows to push me up. I heard voices coming from my kitchen. " She was lucky I happened to be there." a masculine voice said. "Tch, blondie shouldn't have ran off like that. I don't want to lose her again." A deep voice added quietly. Sting.
A black haired boy came out of the kitchen while carrying a bucket of water with a tower slung over his shoulder. "Oh Luce, your awake." The black haired boy said. "Um, Thanks for saving me earlier." I said smiling kindly at him. He looked so familiar yet I couldn't put my finger on who he was. "Um, w-who are you?" I asked. "Rogue, Rogue Cheney. I'm back Lucy." He said with a small smile.
Rogue's P.O.V
"Rogue, Rogue Cheney. I'm back Lucy." I said with a small smile. Her eyes widened in shock, she slowly got off the bed and tackled me with a bear hug causing me to drop the bucket of water I was holding. "Welcome back Rogue." She said happily. "Ahem, I'm still here you know?" Sting said feeling a little awkward. "Tch, shut up blondie. I'm welcoming back a friend." She said smugly. An angry tick appeared on Sting's forehead. "Why you little-"Sting was cut off when 5 figures entered through the window. "Natsu, Erza, Happy, Gray, Lisanna? What are you guys doing here?" Lucy asked curiously, fidgeting in her place.
Erza's P.O.V
I stared at three mages in front of me. Lucy had her arms wrapped around Rogue's neck while his arms were wrapped securely around her waist. "What do you think you're doing?" Natsu hissed. Rogue let go of Lucy and simply proceeded to pick up the fallen bucket. "Hello?! Answer me damn it!" Natsu yelled angrily. "Why are you even here?" Sting asked frowning. "We came to visit Luce, to check if she's okay." Gray stated. "Well, it's not your business. Especially you two." Sting snarled glaring at Natsu and Lisanna. Natsu sighed. "Look, I didn't kiss Lisanna. She kissed me and I love Lucy, she's not yours." Natsu said. "Just go Natsu. I'm not feeling too well." Lucy said smiling weakly. "Hey Lucy, can I talk to you for a while?" Lisanna asked brightly.
Lisanna's P.O.V
"Hey Lucy, can I talk to you for a while?" I asked showing my brightest smile. "U-um s-sure." Lucy stuttered. I smirked inwardly. I walked past Sting who eyed me cautiously, and I raised an eyebrow at him. I walked out the door with Lucy trailing behind me.
I walked until we were far enough from her apartment. I stood inside a dark alley with was in between two pubs. I looked behind me and saw Lucy coming around the corner, I smiled evilly. "Animal soul: Tigress!" I yelled. Lucy look at me with wide eyes, I scratched her body until blood came gushing out.
I walked limply back to the guild dragging Lucy's unconscious body behind me. I pushed open the door weakly, people's chattering stopped and sent us worried looks. Before I collapsed to the floor, I was caught by a pair of warm arms.
"Stop poking her moron. You're gonna wake her up." A deep voice said. "Tch, shut up ice block. I'm sure she won't wake up." Another voice said. I recognized that voice. Natsu! "I wonder what happened to- Lisanna!" the female warrior yelled. "H-huh? What happened?" I asked weakly. " We don't really know. You just came in all beat up with Lucy behind you." Gray said with a worried expression plastered on his face. "O-oh yeah, L-Lucy attacked me when we went out." I said whimpering. Natsu's eyes widened. "L-Luce attacked you?" Natsu asked in shock. I felt my lips twitching upwards but quickly replaced it with a pained expression. "She used Urano Meteoria on me. It really hurt." I said wiping a fake tear away.
Natsu's P.O.V
"She used Urano Meteoria on me. It really hurt." Lisanna said wiping a stray tear away from her eye. Would Lucy actually do that? They both looked equally as beat up when they both came in. I heard a groan next to me. Lucy's wakingup.
"Lucy is it true you attacked Lisanna?"asked a stern voice.
"What are you talking about Erza?" Lucy said pushing herself up. "Don't lie Lucy, I know what you did to me." Lisanna said. Anger flashed across Lucy's face. "You bitch! You were the one who attacked me!" Lucy said launching herself at Lisanna but Gray held her back. Lisanna hid behind me, whimpering.
"That's enough Lucy! You don't have to lie! I never thought you would ever do that. Guess I was wrong." I said angrily. "N-Natsu, but I didn't do anything! It was that stupid bitches fault!" she yelled angrily. I gritted my teeth angrily hard.
"Shut up Lucy! Your just saying that because you know your weak and all you ever do is rely on others and your spirits! You can't even take care of yourself!" I spat out harshly, instantly regretting my choice of words. Gray and Erza starred at me with disbelief. "I-I didn't mean that Lucy." I said regretfully. What did I just say?! Lucy is one of the strongest people I know, physically and mentally. She's loving, kind, caring, funny and cute. I love those gigantic brown orbs that are full of life and love for her nakama.
Lucy's P.O.V
Was I really that weak? I mean I did lose to Flare and Minerva in the Grand Magic Games. It's not my fault I have to rely on my spirits, it's my magic after all. I'm sorry I troubled any of you." I said lowering my head. "I-I'm sorry Luce. I really didn't mean that." Natsu managed weakly. "Don't listen to that ass hat Luce. Your really strong so don't worry." Gray said smiling warmly at me. "Haven't you hurt Lucy enough Natsu?!" the angry Titania yelled glaring dangerously at the said man. I swear if looks kill he'd be dead. Natsu flinched. "I know Erza and I don't intend on doing it again." He said. "I know you won't because if you I will personally rip you to shreds." Erza threatened. "I still can't believe you attacked me like that Lucy." Lisanna said shaking her head. I felt all eyes on me, I looked up in anger. "I didn't attack you Lisanna and I don't intend to. Will you stop lying already?!" I yelled angrily.
Lisanna's P.O.V
"I didn't attack you Lisanna and I don't intend to. Will you stop lying already?!" Lucy yelled. "I'm not lying." I protested. "Yes. You. Are." with each word, she marched up to me and grabbed my shirt. "I'm not!" I yelled in panic. Her grip on my shirt tightened. "Lucy! Calm down!" Natsu said yanking her arm of me. I hid behind Natsu again while she howled in pain. "My arm!" she yelled hissing in pain. "Nice going shit head. You grabbed her injured area." Gray said picking her up bridal style and putting her down on the bed gently.
"Sorry but she was hurting Lisanna too!" he snapped at Gray.
"Oh so she's more important now? Gray snapped right back at him.
"Enough fighting all of you!." Erza screeched. "Lisanna you look well enough to go home and you have Mira and Elfman to take care of you. Lucy will stay here since she's still in pain." She said directing her gaze at Natsu. Natsu just looked away.
I gathered all my stuff and walked down the stairs. "Tch, looks like it didn't go like how I wanted it to." I mumbled to myself slamming to the guild doors behind.
Normal P.O.V
"Where's Lucy damnit? She didn't come home last night, I was starving!" Sting said sighing in frustration. "Is that all you care about?" Rogue said cradling Frosch in his arms. "Of course not. I wonder if something happened to her. She doesn't usually stay out for more than a day." Sting said scratching his chin. "And she didn't say she was going on a mission either." Rogue said setting the sleeping exceed on the celestial spirit mage's bed. "Maybe we should check the guild. I feel like having fish maybe Fairy-san has some." Lector said licking his lips. "Like owner like exceed." Rogue said face-palming himself. "Only I'm much more awesome that him." Sting said smirking slyly. "Shut up Sting-kun, let's go look for Fairy-san." Lector scowled highly offended by his dear owner.
