Well, shit. I look around the bedroom. The boys won't arrive for another few days but I needed to scout around to see if there was anything suspicious, that way they could be put straight to work if need be. There were four rooms; a kitchen area which extended into a dining room, a room with a couch, fireplace, bookshelf and desk, a bathroom with a shower and bath, and a bedroom. There was only seven beds, three on each side and one under the window directly across from the door. There were eight people, plus Exceeds. I face palm. Stupid council, they must have forgotten that I'd need somewhere to sleep. Someone will have to sleep on the couch, I decide. Then, it sure as hell isn't going to be me. I dump my bag on one of the beds and stalk out of the room, already in a bad mood.
The 'house' was quite cute actually, it had an old feel to it and I loved it. My cloak was hanging on the hook and my shoes were on the little box. My gloves were shoved in the pocket of my cloak-the one hidden on the inside-I was required to wear them every time I went outside. No-one in the town was allowed to know I was a Fairy Tail mage. The whole mission was top-secret. That's why we were all arriving at different times. So we didn't attract any unnecessary attention to ourselves, also, the Exceeds would be coming on their own rather than traveling with their respective Dragon Slayer.
The first would be arriving today, the second two days from now, the third and fourth would be arriving together the day after-I knew this was Wendy and someone else, they didn't want her travelling alone-the fifth in a five days and the last in a week. I roam around the 'house' for a minute thinking about everything that had to be done. I sigh and slump down on the couch, it was pretty comfortable actually. I inhale, this place hadn't been used in a while but it didn't smell to bad. There was hardly any dust anywhere and it reminded me of my apartment. The wind blows through the window I had opened. And all of a sudden I feel really sleepy. I give in to the tiredness and my eyes droop closed.
I wake up but don't open my eyes. My back isn't sore the way it is when I sleep on my couch at home, and I felt pleasantly well rested. The wind is blowing on my face, and it is warm. Actually, it smells good. Kind of like spices and… I open my eyes
"KYA!" I scream, I move backwards and fall off the back of the couch. Rambunctious laughter fills the room.
"STING EUCLIFFE!" I yell, rubbing my sore back. 'That was not funny!" I say. He snorts.
"Yes, it was actually." I stand and he looks me up and down. "So, you are the Peacekeeper huh?" He crosses his arms. "Minerva said that they wouldn't be able to do much. Guess she was right."
"Shut up!" I say, glaring at him. Then I realise. "You're the first one to come aren't you?"
He rolls his eyes. "Well, duh."
"AH!" I yell. "You mean I have to spend two whole days with just you for company?"
"I'm not to thrilled about it either, blondie." He says cuttingly.
"Whatever!" I huff. I walk over to the door, put on my shoes and grab my cloak. I turn to look at Sting, putting my gloves on while I talk. "I'm going to buy food. Don't break anything okay?" I fasten my cloak around my neck and open the door. The sun is low in the sky and the wind is biting my exposed skin. I pull up my hood and walk to the market place.
Sting walks around the house, checking out the rooms. He walks into the bedroom and sees a pink suitcase on one of the beds. Guess she claimed it, huh? He saunters over, moves her bag onto a different bed and puts his bag on the one she had taken. Speaking of claiming, I wonder if… He quickly dismisses the thought. There was no way the pink-haired idiot had done it yet, he was just to stupid. I want to mess with him while he's here, I wanna get on his nerves and make him fight me. Sting thinks to himself, suddenly a wicked smile paints itself onto his face. And I know just how to do it.
Natsu sits at Lucy's favourite spot at the bar. His chin resting on his arms which are folded on the counter. Sighing he shuts his eyes. Lucy had left, without saying goodbye. He had found her note, but it still hurt. Judging by the strength of her scent in the room, she had left a few hours before he woke up, but still, he would've liked to walk her to the train station at least.
"What's the matter Natsu?"
Natsu opens his eyes to find Mira looking down at him with motherly affection.
"Lucy left without saying goodbye to me!" He wails. "I wanted to tell her about my mission and everything!"
Mira smiles, Natsu didn't know that Lucy was already at his destination. Waiting for the rest of the Dragon Slayers to show up.
"I'm sure you'll see her soon." Mira says comfortingly.
"I'll be away for six whole months." He groans. "She could've at least woke me up to say goodbye!"
"Did you sleep at her place again?"
He nods. "Her place is the best!" He says enthusiastically. "Her bed is really comfy!"
Mira laughs and Levy looks over at him with a funny look on her face. Now her looks confused.
"Did I say something weird?"
Mira laughs harder and Levy joins in.
"No, not at all Natsu. You are just so cute!" She ruffles his hair and walks off, Macao and Wakaba were asking for more drinks.
Cute? Natsu thinks to himself. I wonder if Lucy thinks I am cute? Maybe... But I really did want to see her before she left on her mission, but she didn't wake me up… I guess it's because I didn't tell her that I was going away for half a year so she might have thought she'd see me sooner. But, still… I hope her mission is easy. I don't want her doing something reckless and end up getting hurt. Maybe someone else went with her. I don't know…
Natsu sighs again and closes his eyes. He couldn't see Mira 'fangirling' on the other side of the room as the Dragon Slayer morned the absence of his best friend.
So… Lucy gets to spend some 'quality time' with Sting! Hope my writing skills can satisfy all you StiCy fans out there. Two days alone with a hot guy… Everything's gonna be boring… Depending on reviews! I'm not exactly sure what you guys want to read so... Post or PM me a quick scenario that Sting had forced Lucy into or vice versa. I will pick my favourite one and use it in the next chapter! I will be sure to credit you! Don't forget to vote for your favourite pair!
