Chapter 3 - Their friendship

"Let me take a look…" – Said Sting after they released one another. He leaned back to look at her.

Huhm… Still slender, thank God… taller, pale skin, brown-chocolate eyes, small nose, rosy-pink lips... huhmm... oh how I want to taste those lips so badly, hair are longer and...

His eyes trailed down her hair, face, neck and halted at her brea….

"Gosh, Luce …" - He grinned – "Your boobs must have consumed all the nutrients, they look... really fecund". He nodded his head in approval.

"Pfff…." - Rogue tried to contain his laugh while Lucy froze in shock, she blushed furiously.

"SHUT UP YOU PERVERT, WHERE ARE YOU STARING AT? AND LEAVE MY BOOBS ALONE!"

She yelled at him and smacked the back of his head. He laughed, clearly expecting her action. She glared at him and Rogue. Rogue turned away nonchalantly, but you could see amusement playing in his eyes while Sting seemed unaffected. He pinched her cheek and ruffed her hair. She's so cute.

After fixing her hair, Lucy and her boys sat down in a circle. Lunch was long forgotten.

"How did you guys know it was me anyway?" - She asked.

"Your scent" - They answered simultaneously.

She stared at them for a while then started to sniff her armpits. Sting laughed lightly while Rogue smiled in amusement.

"Huhm… strange, I remembered taking a shower this morning" – She joked and grinned.

She still hasn't changed. Rogue shook his head then asked.

"So why didn't you call and tell us you were coming home anyway, we found out by chance you know?"

"Really? Sorry, I wanted to surprise you guys so I just called some of my other friends last night. …But… wait, how did you know that the new student was me? My father had asked Mr. Makarov quite obviously that my identity needed to be kept secret."

Lucy didn't want people to treat her biasedly or mumble behind her back because she was the heiress of Heartfilia family - the most wealthy family in country. She didn't like the attention either, people would treat her more honestly if they didn't know who she was.

"Some girls told me about it, it seems like her mother eavesdropped on exchanges between Master and your father, she told her daughter and her daughter told her friend." - Rogue said calmly.

Lucy thought for a while then told him. - "Tell me those girls name later, I'll have my father or Mr. Makarov talk to them." - Rogue nodded, then asked her which class was she in. She said that she was in F1 and asked them to explain some questions that she had about Fiore Academy, she forgot to google it on the internet.

Rogue said that beside regular classes, Fiore also had 4 guilds : Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Blue Pegasus and Mermaid Heel. Every guild divided into classes depend on the number of its students and had its own buildings as well as insignia. Lucy was in F1, so that means she was a member of Fairy Tail - class number 1. Rogue and Sting were in S1, that means they were members of Sabertooth – class number 1.

Those guilds were the places only for talented students. They must have at least an outstanding aptitude for something to be accepted to a guild. Sting and Rogue were excellent at sports, especially basket ball, Levi could speak 3 lingoes, Cana was one of the most potential boxers, Erza was a sword-player, Gray was the fastest swimmer... etc. Lucy's mother, Layla, used to go to Fiore Academy too. That's why Lucy was here, she didn't know that she was in the same class with most of her best friends was just a coincidence, or it was arranged by her mother. Either way, Lucy was happy that she could be near her friends again.

[Meanwhile]

Gray, Erza and Levi were sitting on their usual seat at the canteen. Erza was having a strawberry shortcake while Gray was having Udon* and Levi was texting with her boyfriend, Gajeel.

"Nevi, iz Gazel feening betner?" – Gray asked with his mouth full of noodle.

Levi made a face.

"Is Gajeel feeling better?" – He swallowed and asked again.

"Oh... Yeah, he already took his pills, he'll be better soon." – Levi smiled.

"It's really unusual to see Gajeel to be on the sick list huh, and here I thought he was invincible." – Gray mocked.

"He's only human Gray, stop mocking him." - Levi frowned.

Gray chuckled - "Just kidding."

"I told him about Lu-chan and… wait…" Levi stopped texting and looked at her friends.

"Where is Lu-chan? She doesn't want to join lunch with us?" - She pouted.

"No... I mean, she wanted to but she had to see some of her friends first." - Erza answered and Gray raised an eyebrow, she sighed.

"Yes, Sting and Rogue of Sabertooth".

Levi gasped.

"Sabertooth? But… they're Fairy Tail's rival. We have an unspoken rule that no Fairy should be friends with a Tiger and vice versa, right?"

"I know, but Sting and Rogue have been friends with her since they were 7. They've known one another for a very long time, so I guess that can be the exception. Besides the rule is not obligatory. Fairy Tail and Sabertooth were rivals, not archenemies. We'll tell them when it's necessary, I'm sure they'll understand." - Erza said calmly. Gray and Levi nodded.

So there are only me and Gray that know about her childhood friends, huh…

Erza was astonished back then when she heard that they were friends of Lucy because two of her friends... let just say that they didn't have a "very good relationship" with two Tigers when they were kids. They got into fights a lots untill her friends moved out of town and they hadn't met since then. She didn't know them well enough to trust them, even though they're Lucy friends. She hoped that Lucy's friendship with them wouldn't make war break out between two guilds in the future.

Lucy listened carefully and looked at the shiny metal object was pin on her sweater.

So this is Fairy Tail's insignia.

"Insignias were painted on buildings so students wouldn't be lost. They can choose to stay at the dorm if their house are too far from Fiore. Students were classified and transfered to every guild according to their aspirations. Ahh, so it was mother's arrangement.

"Mermaid Heel and Blue Pegasus are specialized in artistic while Fairy Tail and Sabertooth are specialized in sports." – Sting said and wondered whether he should tell her about the animosity between Fairy Tail and Sabertooth or not, but finally decided against it, because it was a long story and kinda complicated so he would let her find out herself.

"Woaa, you guys play basketball, that's cool." - She exclaimed. Rogue smiled and Sting smirked.

"Wanna see us practice?" - She nodded eagerly. Sting chuckled.

"Then waited for us after school okay?" - He ruffed her hair and they came back their classes. The bell had rung 10 seconds ago and they didn't wanna be late.

[ The first period in the afternoon]

[Yukino's POV]

I'm sitting at my desk, staring blankly at the green board. Ichiya-sensei was talking about Biotechnology's achievement in fragrance industry or something, but the words just keep going in one of my ears then going out of the other, I'm still thinking about what I saw on lunch break.

I was at the library to exchange some books when I saw him, Rogue and a girl. Normally, I would just shrug it off and assume that was one of his girlfriends, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that she seemed different. They were having a staring contest, and I was wondering "What are they doing?" Sting said something to the girl then rushed at her and picked her up, spinning her around. My eyes widened, I blinked, what the hell was that? And he was…. laughing?

I gasped, quite shocking, he was laughing.

Sting was laughing and he looked really happy. I never saw him acting like that before. He would only smirk or give a sarcastic smile, never a genuine smile or a laugh. What was he laughing about?

He set her down then put his forehead against her. I feel my heart ache. He looked so gentle and sweet. They're very close, I can see it. I wish that he could look at me like that with that deep blue eyes of his, touching me like he had touched her. Who is that girl? I've never seen her before.

She's really beautiful, she has long blond hair, pale skin and brilliant smile. I can't see her eyes but I bet that her eyes are brown. Same type as those girl he had dated but… Is she Sting's special girl? I'm not stupid, I know what I saw. He never acted like that around other girls. The Sting I know is cold, cocky and doesn't give a damn about anything. The Sting I saw was childlike and impartial. It's like he has split personality or something.

I looked at the trio again and saw Rogue also hugged her. Huhm… So she's not Sting's girlfriend? I really hope so. Maybe they're friends? But if she's only his friend, then why did he date all those girls who have the same look as hers? Was that a coincidence? Does he like her, love her even? The trio were hugging one another, but lucky for them not many people were passing by. I wondered what rumors would spread through the school when they saw what I saw.

Does Sting know that? He probably doesn't care. What if she's his special girl, and all those girls he dated before were only temporary replacement? I asked myself again. But then... what if she isn't? I can't jump in conclusion like that, right? I have to ask Rogue about her and I hope that he will tell me.

I can't give up now, I have to keep trying, I just need to be patient. He will return my feeling, he has to.

Sting was looking out of the windows, those boring lessons of Ichiya-sensei were long forgotten. He wondered how B1 (Blue Pegasus – class number 1) could endure and worship those lessons of their home room teacher. All he talked about was fragrances, perfumes, perfumes and fragrances.

He recalled the memory at noon, when he first saw her after two years. His face stretched into a smile, he seemed doing that a lot today. How couldn't he? His angel had come back, he couldn't help feeling the warmth was spreading through his body just thinking about her. She was still childlike and violent but he liked that, his smile widened. I sound like a masochist. He laughed lightly.

He had so much to ask her anyway, like how was her life in America, was she in a relationship or not. I hoped not. Would she stay in Fairy Tail's dorm or stay at home, but knowing Lucy, she would probably choose the dorm. She liked being independent...

[Flashback]

"Lector…Lector… where are you?"

The seven year-old Sting was calling, hoping that his cat would hear (and understand) him. Lector was a red hair kitten his mother had given him on his sixth birthday. He and Rogue was playing at the park near their house when they found out that Lector was missing. They split to find him and decided that whether they found him or not, they would be at home at 6 so their parent wouldn't be worried.

"Lector come on, we're gonna be late for dinner."

He kept running and searching and calling, but Lector was nowhere to be found. He headed to the river bank and decided that would be the last one. Look like I have to ask for dad's help. Fortunately, a glimpse of red caught his eyes when he passed the ancient sakura tree. Lector. He quickly ran towards the tree but suddenly halted. A girl? A girl, probably not older than him, was petting Lector and the kitten was purring loudly. She giggled.

"Lector!" - He shouted then rushed at him. He held him protectively and eyed her cautiously.

"How dare you kidnap my Lector?"

Her eyes widened then she frowned.

"Hey, I didn't kidnap him, I found him. You lost him, didn't you? So that's your fault."

He blinked and looked away embarrassingly. Oh, right...

"Go… Gomenasai" - He mumbled and looked at her again. The girl's eyes softened. She smiled at him.

"That's okay. You probably was just worried about him, right?" - He nodded.

"I'm Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia… Nice to meet you." - Lucy extended her hand.

He stared at her, she was looking at him expectantly, still waiting. He grinned and took her hand.

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Sting Eucliffe."

She giggled.

[End of Flash back]

That day was one of the most memorable days that he had with Lucy. Our first meet. It was like destiny. He, Rogue and Lucy became friends after that, she was their light and they were her shadow. Their friendship was really admirable.

Sting was so deep in thought that he didn't notice Rogue was calling him. Rogue sighed, he was tired of calling him so he decided to smack his head with a pop.

Sting scowled then looked at his friend angrily. He was having a moment with his beautiful memory then someone just had to interrupt his thought in the most rudely way.

"WHAT THE FUCK, ROGUE?" - He shouted at Rogue.

"Stop grinning like a jack-o'-lantern, Sting. You make their flesh creep." - He deadpanned and looked straight ahead again.

"Who-" - He knitted his eyebrows and was about to ask who the hell were they but stopped and froze. The whole class including Ichiya-sensei were staring at him in shock, their jaws dropped.

Who is he? And what had he done to Sting? They all have the same thought.

Woaaa, Sting + grinning = not good.

Sting glared at them as if saying "What the fuck are you staring at?"

They gulped and immediately went back to their previous posture, looking straight ahead.

Yup, old Sting's still there.

Ichiya cleared his throat – "Eucliffe-san, detention after school for making noise and not concentrating on lessons."

Sting groaned then hit his head on the table, repeatedly. Damn you, Lucy.

Lucy looked at her watch and groaned. There were only 5 more minutes before she could go see Sting and Rogue, but it felt like eternity. Wait, I didn't ask them where we would meet, shit. She sighed.

*Rrriiiinnnngg ….. rrriiinnnggg…*

Finally. She quickly put her note and books in order. The whole class stood up and bowed to Yuuri-sensei then started to rush out of class. She asked Erza where was S1 (Sabertooth - class number 1), bidding her friends goodbye and running out of the door.

Rogue was making his way to Fairy Tail buildings when she saw him. She waved at him.

"Hey, Rogue!" - She hugged him again.

"I missed you, where have you been?" - She rubbed her head against his chest, oblivious to the looks people were throwing at them. Whatever, she didn't care and neither did Rogue.

He chuckled and stroked her hair - "We met 5 hours ago, you know."

She giggled and grinned - "I know." - She looked around, searching for Bee Boy. "Where is Sting?"

"He got detention for making noise and not concentrating in class." - He said, making quotation marks with his hands, then swung an arm around her shoulder.

"Come see me practice first, I'll take you to him later."

She nodded and put an arm around his waist. They walked in the afternoon sun, humming their favorite song together.

By the time they arrived there, Sabertooth team was practicing. His teammates were surprised to see Rogue with a girl. They had never seen him with a girl before.

"Hey, where's Sting?" - A member from S2 asked him.

"Detention." - He answered briefly. He turned around and gave Lucy a small smile, then went to the locker room to change. He put on his usual nonchalant face and told his teammates.

"Don't get close to her or talk to her, pretending that she isn't there, just keep practicing." - He passed them, didn't even need to hear an answer. He didn't want Lucy to get in trouble with his teammates. They were Tigers and she was a Fairy after all. He had to be careful.

Lucy was sitting on the stand, watching them practiced in awe. She knew Rogue was good at sports but she had never seen him played before, basketball or not. She saw his teammates eyed her earlier when Rogue told them something. They looked kinda surprised. She wondered why. Anyway, seeing Rogue playing was really cool. She didn't like sports very much, except swimming and surfing, but she perhaps would change her mind after this. Rogue seemed very comfortable, confident and less rigid. Lucy smiled, it was good to see him like that. She hoped that she could see Sting practice too, but… oh well, maybe some other times.

Rogue panted, told the team to take a break then he turned to look at Lucy and caught her smile. He smiled back and made sure that nobody saw it but her. She then stood up and ran towards him. He looked at her expectantly, clearly waiting for her opinion. He knew he was good, excellent even, he just wanted to hear it from her.

Lucy knew what he wanted her to say so she giggled,… - "You suck." - …then deadpanned.

Rogue sweatdropped, it was like she just splashed a dipper of cold water into his face, he frowned. Lucy laughed at him until he got annoyed and pinched both of her cheeks to make her stop.

"C'mon, tell me what you think." - He asked and smiled in amusement at her deformed face.

"I just told you, you suck Rogue." - She continued to laughed lightly. He flicked her forehead, making her yelp.

"Liar, I know I'm good."

"Then why did you ask?" - She pouted.

A light blush crept its way to his cheeks.

"I just wanna hear it from you." - He mumbled and looked at the ground, trying not to make eyes-contact.

She raised her eyebrows in surprised and giggled. Aww, he looks so cute.

She stood on her tip-toe and kissed his cheek.

"I was kidding. You're excellent."

His blush turned deeper and his heart fluttered. It was not like she hadn't kissed him before, she kissed him once but that was a long time ago before he hit puberty, she was the one who usually got his kisses, not the other way around and she was also the only one who could make him feel like that.

God help me. He coughed and cleared his throat to find his voice again, mumbling a small "Thank you".

This was definitely one of the best days of his life.

After watching them play for few more minutes, she bid Rogue a goodbye then headed to the staffroom to find Sting. Rogue had offered to walk her there but she declined, telling him to continue to practice and she would see him tomorrow.

Left, right and... straight ahead. There it is. Should I knock? She rolled her eyes at her stupidity. It's a staffroom, Lucy, not an office. With that, she turned the knock quietly, hoping that Sting was alone so she could startle him but then… she froze…
