Bulletproof love

poisonous kiss

"Why'd you do it!?"

Lucy demanded the next day when Sting showed up for training with Natsu.

Natsu looked at her confused.

"What did he do?"

Lucy poked Sting roughly in the chest .

"Answer me"

Natsu sat there watching him with curiosity in his deep golden eyes.

he knew this was coming.
Levy was Lucy's best friend.
Levy and Gajeel were like family to Rouge.
Of course that's where he was staying.

He didn't have an honest answer.
It happened fast.
One moment they were talking and the next Yukino was kissing him.

"Maybe you just need a woman in your life "

She had whispered before she kissed him.
He blamed himself as much as he blamed her.
she might have kissed him but he didn't stop her.
He wasn't sure if he had kissed her back or if he just stood there.
It hadn't mattered when Rouge walked in.
He scrambled to straighten himself but it was far to late.
The ruby eyes he loved stared back at him with complete sorrow.
Sorrow he had put there.
Yukino was one of the very few who knew about them.
She grinned at him, at those sad hallow eyes.

"It just happened..."

It wasn't a good answer, in fact it pissed Lucy off more.
He hadn't seen what was coming next.
She could be quite fast .
Her hand reeled back and she swung the back of it against his face.
It made a loud smacking sound of skin hitting skin.
Natsu jumped up and caught Lucy in his arms.

"Alright what's going on!?"

He demanded holding Lucy back.
Sting touched his cheek.
Physical pain felt so blunt next to the agony in his chest.

"He hurt Rouge!, that boy is nothing but a huge sweetheart!"

Natsu switched from confused to pure anger.

"How badly did you injury him!?"

Lucy smacked his chest struggling in his arms.

"Oh Natsu!, not like that! "

He spun Lucy around to face him fully.

"Explain"

she was released from her husband's hold .
She glared daggers at Sting as she spoke.

"He cheated on Rouge, with Yukino!"

She said the name with great dislike.
Sting scoffed.

"Cheated?, it was a kiss, it wasn't right and he has every reason to hate me for it but it's not like I_"

He was cut off by Lucy stepping up to get into his face.

"How far would it have gone if Rouge didn't walk in?, if you're deathly in love with Rouge and still kissed her I think there could have been more, Rou probably figured the same thing. 
and that's why he left you"

Natsu was gapping at them with his mouth open and his eyes the size of plates .

"You and Rouge are together?"

Lucy stomped on the light Dragon slayers foot.
He yelled and jumped back.

"Not anymore!'"

She crossed her arm's and stared at the two boys in front of her.

"As of now he isn't welcomed here, and if you take his side Natsu you can go with him"

Very quickly Natsu stepped away from Sting.
