Chapter 12- Feelings of the Fairies
The guild stared silently at Lucy and Sting.
I'm sorry Natsu, but I have to find some way to move on, and I love him too…. I really am sorry, but I guess I don't need to apologise, because I'm sure your happy with Lisanna with anyway…. You to really are meant to be… was that all I ever was to you Natsu, someone that took your mind of her? Or reminded you of her? Or was I some kind of replacement for her? I guess that's sort of what I was…. I don't hate you Natsu, I just miss you…. But I'm moving on now…. All the best,
Love, Lucy…
Lucy mentally wrote her feelings in a letter to Natsu… He meant that much…. The things we feel for nakama…
The guild looked over at the gape on Natsu's face.
Natsu looked at Sting and Lucy planting a kiss on his cheek…. Lucy come back! Why did you leave? Why did you change? Why are you with him over me! I am your partner! You're leaving your partner since the start of Fairy Tail for some Saber-Fairy-Dragon wanna be! But I suppose if you love him that's fine… Because I'm with Lisanna now anyway… I have to put her first… I just hope you love him Luce…. And if he hurts you, I will burn him with raging flames from hell!
The guild smiled and cheered as Lucy kissed Sting on the cheek.
Sting was shocked but happy at the same time…. Well sure I like her like that… a lot! But being her boyfriend? How the hell are we going to spend time together without fighting… oh well, Rogue said that was just the kind of couple we were, get along by not getting along… man he doesn't make sense… Well Lucy's pretty hot… literally to! I hope that doesn't stop me this time like it did before….
After the guild warmly welcomed the new comers, Lucy announced now that she'd checked in at the guild she'd be going home for the day. She got up and left being escorted by Sting. Rogue, Lector and Frosch headed to Sting and Rogue's new apartment in Magnolia. Lucy entered her apartment and collapsed onto her bed,
"AAAhhh it's so nice to be home!" sighed a relieved Lucy,
"Lucy," Sting spoke calmly,
"Ohh, uhh about today… I hope you didn't mind…" said Lucy sitting up,
To Lucy's surprise, Sting was now on top of her, pinning her down to her bed…
"Sting…" whispered Lucy,
"Lucy…." He whispered back,
Sting kissed Lucy softly and less lustfully than before. Lucy kissed Sting back, she loved kissing him admittedly. Sting placed a hand on her cheek,
"How much do you like me?" he asked,
"What kind of question is that!" said Lucy slightly irritated,
"It's just that I ..." Stings hands slid down to the top button of her shirt, "I really like you…" Sting undid the top button…
Lucy ran her fingers through his hair and then kissed him again. She undid the second button on her shirt revealing her bra.
Sting continued to undo her shirt…. Lucy wondered whether it was right, she thought maybe it was just a rebound from her heart break after seeing Natsu with Lisanna, but she also thought that maybe she did really like Sting? Maybe even love him?... Sting kissed her neck, flames engulfed Lucy's fists. Her kissed her again a little lower, her temperature began to rise all over her again.
Natsu had seen enough, he stepped away from the window and walked back to the guild. Back to his Lisanna. He sulked along the way… That wasn't his Lucy, it was a new Lucy, not even Edo-Lucy…. It was Sting's Lucy…. She …. She changed…. She's not even my best friend no more… She acts like I don't even exist…. Lucy's gone…. My partner's gone….. Natsu fell to his knees feeling beat, he was only a hundred metres from the guild, but yet he couldn't walk another step. Natsu put his head into his hands and a tear almost escaped his eye, but Natsu was strong. Natsu was strong for Lisanna, she was his girl and he was determined to keep it that way. Natsu couldn't stand to lose another…
"Lucy!" began Sting, yelping from burns,
"Well I'm sorry for having feelings for you!" Lucy screamed as the flames swallowed her body.
Sting got off her and folded his arms, "You tell me how the hell this is going to work if I can't even touch you!"
"I don't know! I'm trying Sting! It's just not that easy!" Lucy cried.
A tears began to stream down Lucy's cheeks. "I'm sorry I thought I loved you!" screamed Lucy,
Sting was a little startled by this. He loved her too but did he have the nerve to say it? Sting simply stood there, arguing in his head how to react. Lucy turned her back to Sting. She brushed away the tears with a single swift flick of her hand and glanced at him over her shoulder. She couldn't look him in the eye. She kept her strong attitude and determination unshakable.
"Leave." Lucy commanded pointing to her apartment door.
Sting just stood there… he didn't know what to do…
"If you don't feel the same way, just leave. Now. Please." She lowered her arm directed at the door.
Sting grabbed her shoulders from behind and spun her around to face him. He slammed his lips against hers and Lucy didn't kiss him back.
"I'm sorry. I just want to make this work." He stared into her chocolate brown eyes.
Lucy averted her gaze. "Well I suppose… that no matter what. We'll always be a team…." She said quietly,
"So we will have plenty of time to work this out…" Sting added…
"Why so nice all of a sudden…" asked Lucy,
"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I wasn't nice to my girlfriend?"
Lucy sighed and broke free from Sting. "I'm going to bed.." she announced,
Lucy picked up her change of clothes and went to the bathroom to change. Meanwhile, after Lucy exited her bedroom, Sting climbed into Lucy's bed. How Sting and Natsu were alike…
Lisanna pulled Natsu up…. Wow he's heavy!... Natsu flung himself at Lisanna, hugging her tight…. Lisanna smiled gently and hugged him back…
"come on Natsu, I'll take you home…"smiled Lisanna….
Natsu was lucky to have Lisanna with him… He finally had his 'wife' back…. With Lisanna's sweet smile still painted in his head, Natsu lifted his head. His signature grin spread across his face and he took Lisanna's hand…
"Let's go!"
"Where's Happy?" asked Lisanna,
"Is Happy all you think about!?"
"He's our son!"
"He's a blue cat with wings!"
"But we raised him Natsu!"
"Good memories."
The couple walked down the streets of Magnolia and all the way back to Natsu's smiling happily, hand in hand, making up for lost years…
