CHAPTER 2: Working Together

~LUCY POV~

The next couple weeks I had to work with Rouge. Though he wasn't much of a talker or showed his emotions, he was a great worker. Maybe he wasn't so bad. But still he shouldn't be a silent guy and keep all of his emotions to himself. I had a hard time at some point though. He never really talked was the thing.

I sighed as I was walking down the streets with Levy.

"What's the matter?" Levy asked me. I looked at her and scowled. I then sighed again.

"It's nothing. Just that, whenever I work with him, he always have that stupid straight face. I just want to smack that face off of him. I mean, sure he's quiet and nice(?), but he is TOO quiet. Don't you think so too?" I asked her.

"Ehh? Really? He seems like a cool guy." she said.

"Hehe, yeah. Cool and quiet. I dislike him for some reason. That face need to disappear." I said. I sighed once again.

I stopped abruptly and she slammed into my back and fell backwards.

"Ouch, Lucy why did you all of a sudden stop?" she yelled at me, kind of pissed.

"Natsu?" I whispered. He was standing there smiling a bit. She looked at the building to her right and saw the coffee shop that she always went to, with him.

"Hey Natsu." Levy said, now noticing him. He smiled his signature smile and went in the coffee shop, also giving me a hint to follow him in. So I did. I walked in only to see Lisanna with Mira and Elfman standing there. I smiled at them and waved, greeting them for only a second and followed Natsu.

He sat down at the table and I did too, across from him. He gave me an apologetic smile and I only looked at him.

"So? What did you want to say?" I asked him, trying to start a conversation.

"Uhh… I was thinking… I- Uhh… I'm sorry." he said. I looked at him.

Why? Why are you apologizing? I thought. I looked at him for another few seconds.

"Why are you apologizing?" I asked. He looked at me, then at the floor.

"Because… I should have told you. We were together for 10 months, almost a year. I screwed everything up. I know… I shouldn't have done that, I should've spoke up and said something." he said. He looked at me. I opened my mouth to say something, but closed it. He kept talking.

I got tired of the excuses.

"Stop already." I said. "I already knew from the beginning. When she came back, when I became friends with her, when you would always go with her everywhere. I only kept it in. But you know what? I wasn't even bothered. Not one single bit. That's why I decided to break up with you."

He looked at me for what felt like the a hundreth time. He was going to say something, but I spoke up.

"Don't worry. We can still be friends. Just don't make it awkward for us. For me at the moment I have some things I have to do. I am busy now." I said smiling. Yes, busy with some man who won't even greet me and only says a few words. I thought.

"Yeah. Busy with me." I heard a voice behind me said. It was a low and deep voice. I turned around to see the one and only blonde man, Laxus Dreyar. Mira squealed and I only sweatdropped.

"Shut up. Only with the business, otherwise there is nothing going on. So Mira stop imagining things." I said with a scowl on my face. I then got up. "I will be going now."

I got up from my seat and grab my purse. Levy followed me. As I was walking though I bumped into someone and fell onto my butt.

"Ouch. Watch where you're going!" I said as I got up. Levy helped me up.

"That's what I'd like to say blondie." I heard a cocky, arrogant voice say. I looked up to see another blonde head. This time with blue eyes and a scar next to his right eye.

"Don't call me blondie, and you're blonde yourself." I was ticked off a bit. He tch-ed me and I was about to say something when I heard another voice.

"Sting! You idiot, don't just go off by yourself." a blacked haired man walked in. He looked at the guy named 'Sting' then saw everyone in front of him.

"Rogue?" I said. He looked at me then at everyone else.

"Who's that?" Natsu asked.

"That's Rogue. Rogue Cheney." Levy said.

"Ehh? Cheney? Isn't that the name of the famous company in Japan?" Mira questioned.

"Yes. It is. The family that works in several other countries and is one of the top 7 group. Like me, I'm Sting, Sting Eucliffe." this 'Sting' guy said.

"EHHH?!" Lisanna said.

"Anyways, Natsu-san long time no see." Sting said. Natsu smiled.

"Eh? You know him, Natsu?" Lisanna asked. He nodded.
"Somewhat, yeah. But what brings you here?" Natsu said. I looked at the blonde man, then back at Rogue. I sighed.

"Let's go. Now." Rogue said, he turned around and left. Sting immediately scowled and followed behind him.

But before he left I heard him say, "You're always like that. Get over it already. Go back to your old self."

I was a bit confused at the statement, but ignored it anyways. Then I realized something.

"Shit! Levy, we have to go! Meeting in 10 minutes. Hurry!" I shouted and ran out the coffee shop.

Damn that bastard for not letting me know! He was going there too! I shouted in my head. Running as fast as I could we reached the meeting. But was 2 minutes late.

"Lucy… What have I told you before?" my father said, giving me a glare.

"Uhhh… I'm sorry?" I said innocently. I giggled a bit then turned to look at the table across from where Papa was sitting at. I found Sting and Rogue there.

I glared at Rogue and then I sighed.

Working together is going to take a LONG time. I wish time went by faster. I thought. I went over to sit by Papa.
