HANAMI FESTIVAL finally arrived. As previous year, Fairy Tail members all gathered celebrating Hanami party. They played Bingo with special prizes waited by each member of the guild.
For Lisanna, it was her first Hanami party after two years being sucked up to Edolas and seven years trapped in Tenrou island. She was so happy to have return to her family.
After the sun fell from the sky, Magnolia people crowded their park to watch rainbow sakura. The blossoming sakura tree that gave out rainbow colour. Lisanna joined her family watched the special tree. And as the night entered midnight, the crowd waning.
Lisanna stayed even most had gone home. Her eyes wandered around the corners of the park. Her sister had left with the green-haired rune mage while her brother left with the only female member of Raijinshuu. Natsu of course left with Lucy. She always heard Lucy complained about her woke up on the floor almost every morning. Her bed was taken by the two best friends.
Lisanna jumped on her feet. The one she'd been waiting for wasn't likely to come. She sighed. Although she knew that he would never come, deep inside her was hoping that he could come.
She walked along the river bank. The road was already empty. Of course, it was midnight. She stopped and looked into the river. Then she turned around and looked at the house in front of her. Lucy's house. She sighed.
"What am I doing here?" she asked no one.
She spun around to resume her walk. But she was halted.
"I thought you invited me to watch rainbow sakura."
A slight disappointment written on his face. Lisanna smiled.
"You're late. I'm tired waiting for you."
She sat by the river bank. She asked him about his cat when she noticed the Exceed wasn't there.
"He didn't want to come." He sat next to her. "I don't see any rainbow sakura tree here."
She giggled.
"You're quite funny," she said. She looked up to the sky. "There's a story. I heard about it not long ago. Do you want to hear it?" She turned to him smilingly.
He was a little surprised when she suddenly turned to him. He quickly looked away.
"Even if I say no, you still going to tell it," he replied, earned a giggled her.
"No. I won't force you to listen."
She still. Looking ahead. Humming sometimes.
Sting sighed.
"Are you going to tell me the story or not?" he asked.
"You said no, so I won't tell you the story," she said.
"Go on."
"Sure? Are you sure?" she asked, leaned a little close to him, excitedly.
"Starts now, before I change my mind," he warned.
She giggled, and then corrected her seat. With a deep breath, she started her story.
"There was a girl. A beautiful, funny one. She lived outside Magnolia. Her wish was to watch rainbow sakura. And her wish finally came true."
Pause.
"Before the festival, she went to a mission with her friends."
"She was a mage?" Sting asked.
"Yes. A strong one." She nodded. "Her mission was to get some kind of herbs that grew on a snowy mountain. And that herb was main food for a monster. They had to fight the monster to get the herb."
"What kind of monster?" he asked again.
"I don't remember," she said, and continued, "Since they were powerful mages, they managed to bring down the monster. But the girl was covered with snow even though she could get hold of the herb."
Pause. She stared at the dragon slayer before continued her story.
"On that very day, she had to stay at home because of fever. Even though her friend had casted a spell that could reduce her sickness, she only got well on the next day. Poor her, right?"
Sting snorted.
"Afraid that she might miss rainbow sakura, her best friend dug one of the tree and float it on a boat over a river. Her house was located by the river. That way, she could see it from her window. The end."
"That's all?" he asked. She nodded vigorously. "What a bored story."
"What do you think about the friend? Do you think a friend, even a best friend, would do such thing to his friend, unless she was special to him?"
Sting hesitated to answer. But she didn't wait for him to answer.
"I think he likes her. Just that he didn't notice." She sighed. "Natsu is a complete idiot. He obviously likes Lucy, but he is so dense to notice it. They went through many things during mission. Even when in Tenrou island, they helped each other."
Sting stared at the girl. He wondered if she actually jealous to the pair's closeness.
"Of course others helped too, but Lucy…she is his strength. That's why he can become stronger. That's why he could defeat Grimoire Heart. Because Lucy was there with him. I don't understand how a person not notices his own feeling?" She stopped.
Her eyes widened. Her breath stopped. Her mind blank. But she could only feel his lips on hers. Soft. Seconds later, he slowly parted from her. He stared into her blue eyes.
"I don't understand too," he spoke.
Still shocked, she couldn't understand his meant.
"Excuse me?" She took a little time to digest what actually had happened between them. That he kissed her.
She quickly moved her head and looked forward. Her heart pounded. Fast and loud. She couldn't help but her cheeks felt warm. She brushed her face, hoping that the blood that accumulated on her face would go away. She cleared her throat to clear away her nervousness.
"Erm..You shouldn't kiss your sister. I'm older than you, remember," she said, even though she didn't really know what she said.
"Like hell I'll call you sister, remember," he said.
She turned to him. He didn't look back at her but up to the sky. Slowly she smiled. Sometimes, she embarrassed with how she felt right now. She liked how he confessed his feeling. She looked up to the sky, swaying her legs. She felt his hand on the back of her hand. She flipped her hand so she could hold his hand firmly. She glanced at him, to have him smiling.
"Is that Lisanna…and…Sting Eucliff?" Lucy almost shouted, but she halted herself as she remembered the sleeping Natsu and Happy on her bed.
