Lucy POV
I decided I'm going to eat out in town, I washed up and changed.
What a long day
I sigh and left my apartment.
Don't think about Natsu. Don't think about Natsu.
If only I had the guts to tell Natsu earlier.
Suddenly, I felt something cold and hard, that's when I released I tripped and landed on the hard cold ground.
"Whoops, sorry Lucy."
I look up
"H-hey Sting," I say and smile.
He gives out his hand to pull me up.
I get up and dust off my skirt.
"So what are you doing?"
"Going out for dinner," I say
"Dinner? At 11 pm?" He asked his voice going a little higher
I lost track of time, sulking I guess.
"Whoops, it's 11?" I nervously giggled
Sting looked around
"So where salamander?" He asked
"He's not here, couldn't you have smelled that?" I snap
"I take it that things didn't go so well.."
I nod and start crying, everyone looks at me than sting giving sting looks
"I-im sorry don't cry," Sting said nervously looking at the people ready to call the authorities
"I-its not your fault."
Sting hugged me
"Here let's go for dinner."
"But I don't want to disturb you," I say wiping off my tears
"No, your not. Now that I think about it I've haven't had dinner either." He said
I sighed
"Okay, fine."
-------
We sat at the table near the mirror
It's the same restaurant I took Natsu before coming to the guild.
The guild
We ordered our food.
"Okay now spill it, what happened?" Sting asked as if he was watching a K-drama
I sighed and told him everything.
"That-" sting started
"Don't swear please!" I yell out before he could say it
"I'm sorry Luce-"
I flinched, Natsu use to call me that.
Well he doesn't anymore
"He's such an as- I mean butthole." Sting corrected himself
I felt a gaze on me and looked out the window. Natsu, Lisanna, Erza, Jellal, Gray and Juvia they look like they went out on a triple date. Me and Natsu looked at each other then looked away.
I looked back and saw Lisanna look at me then at Sting and smirked.
Once again I looked away, I can't stand to look at her.
"Hey, Luce you okay?" Sting asked
"Y-yeah I'm fine," I said and smiled.
Time passed as me and sting laughed and talked
Maybe I should join SaberTooth?
No, I can't abandon Fairy Tail because of Natsu!!
I checked the time on the clock
"Agh! It's 1 am!"
Me and Sting got up to leave, I stopped him before Infront of the restaurant
"Sorry Sting, I know I'm being really annoying. Thanks for listening." I said and genuinely smiled.
"Hey it's okay, don't apologize." He said
"Really Thanks for everything, bye Sting," I said
"Bye Lucy."
--------
I woke up, feeling much happier than before.
I walked to the guild hall but before I could reach the doors someone called out my name
"Lucy!" Someone called out
I turned around
"Hey Ezra, Gray," I said waving to them
"Hi, Lucy," Gray said back
.
.
.
.
.
.
There was an awkward silence
"So um I have to get going, see you around-"
"Wait!" Erza cut off
"Could you meet me and gray at the cafe around 4 pm?" She asked
I thought about it
It'll be just the three of us, plus I have nothing to do..
"Yeah, sure." I smiled
"Great see you later." Gray and walked off with Erza
I opened the guild door and the whispers erupted.
"Geez, don't they have anything better to talk about." I quietly mumble to myself whilst rolling my eyes.
I scanned the room and found Mira and levy, I'll sit next to them. What do I have to lose?
I took a seat next to Levy
"Hey, Lulu," Levy says
"Hey Levy, wheres Mira? I saw her here a second ago." I ask
"I'm here!" Mira said popping out from under the bar counter
"Hi, Lucy.' She says whilst Smiling
"Hey," I reply
.
.
.
.
There was once again that silence
"So aren't you going to tell us?" Levys says
"Tell you what?" I answer honestly
"You know...about.," Mira says coming closer to me
Do they mean about the whole team Natsu thing?
'Oh yeah, I left team Natsu." I said drinking my lemonade Mira gave
"No, not that. Although I'll have to say I was very shocked." Mira added
"If it's not about the team Natsu thing than I don't know what you two are talking about," I say truthfully biting into my pancake
"Aw, come on Lucy you can tell me." Levy pleaded
"Personally I shipped Nalu," Mira added
I titled my head
"What's Nalu?" I asked confused
"You and Natsu of course," Mira said happily
I spat out my pancake
"Lucy, are you okay?" Levy asked concerned
"Y-yeah, I'm just not hungry anymore." I truthfully say and got up to leave
"Lucy, did we say something wrong?" Levy asked
I smiled, shook my head and said
"No, I'm just tried. Went to bed late." And with that, I left.
-----
It was time to go to the Cafe.
I was already running 20 mins late.
I finally reached the cafe and opened the doors. That's when I saw Erza, gray and some else?
Salmon hair
"Natsu," I say under my breath
I turn back to the door
"Lucy! Don't you dare leave." Erza roared
I squeaked and walked over to there table.
I sat down and looked at my feet
"Lucy, we brought both you and Natsu
Here for reason." Erza started
"To talk." Gray finished
"Okay, Natsu ask a question."
I caught a quick glimpse of Natsu, he seemed surprised that I came to.
They set us up!!
"W-well, why'd you leave team Natsu?" Natsu asked
"Well Boy, if your friend were ignoring you and going on missions without you would you still want to be a part of this 'team' don't teams stick together?" I snapped
No one said anything
I sighed
"Also because I want to focus on myself at the moment."
"I'm sorry." I herd Natsu say
"Yeah, too late," I say under my breath so no one would hear me
Why are you mad at him Lucy? Didn't you wish a couple of minutes ago for him to be your friend again?
I should apologize. No! Why should I be the one to apologize?! It's his fault; his fault he ignored me, his fault he lost me.
"Good now for the elephant in the room-" Erza started
I grabbed the courage to look up at her
What does she mean? There's more?
She sighed
"Lucy, are you dating Sting?"
I could hardly believe my ears
"What?!" Me and Natsu said together
Everything made sense; the whispers, Mira and Levy. But who'd spread these rumours? Who'd be popular enough to-
That's when the image of Lisanna smirking at me and Sting popped in my head
"Lisanna," I said under my breath
Can't she leave me alone?!
"Wait Lucy are you telling me your dating Sting?! The sting from SaberTooth?!" Natsu was practically yelling turning every head in the cafe
My head was spinning, did sting know about this?
"I'm sorry, I gotta go," I say as I collect my stuff and ran out the doors
I need to talk to sting.
Hiya guys, hope you enjoyed.
