LUCY'S P.O.V.
I was bored the entire week. I wasn't allowed to go anywhere because of my injury. I needed to at least say thank you to Sting. Natsu seemed extremly upset that I wanted to say thank you. When one week finally passed, I literally ran out the guild at 9:50am towards the mountain. As usual Sting was already there. Lector was with him.
"What took you so long blondie?" Sting asked when he saw me.
"I didn't take that long." I pouted. "Thanks for bringing me back to the guild by the way."
"Returning the favour." Sting said.
"What favour?" I asked.
He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh! You mean the time Gajeel swung an iron pole at you?" I asked.
"Yeah. Now lift the boulder up." Sting said. "And then run up and down the mountain till I say stop. We're going to be fighting with magic today."
"Demon." I hissed.
"Be happy that Sting-kun is training you!" Lector said.
As usual, Lucy carried the boulder and ran up and down the mountain for a couple hours. Sting was barely using any magic while I was using 3/4. At around dinner time, Sting and I stopped training.
"Can we go back to your place? I'm hungry." Sting said.
"Why my place? Can't you eat at a restaurant?" I grumbled.
"Because it's free." Sting replied.
"Fine. Just wait at my apartment for a bit. I just need to go to the guild."
Sting and I went different ways.
"Hey guys!" I said.
"Hi Lucy. How's your injury?" Mira asked.
"Sore."
"Where did you go?"
"Uhhh... The park." I said.
Mira didn't look convinced but handed me a glass of water. I drank it quickly and headed back to my apartment. To my surprise, Sting wasn't destroying or eating anything. He was just sitting on the couch watching TV. His eyes were staring of into space. He didn't realize that I entered the room.
"Sting? Sting?" I said.
He snapped out of his trance.
"Oh good. You're back. Make me food!" he said.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Fine. Make me food. Please." he said.
"Not exactly how I wanted you to beg but ok." I said.
We spent the night like we spent every other night. Arguing about stupid stuff.
The next morning
I opened my eyes slowly feeling something warm around me. I looked and blushes as I saw stings arms around my waist. I looked at the time.11:34 am. I threw Sting off of my bed.
"Oof! Oww! What you do that for blondie?" Sting asked.
"Crap! It's that late already?!" I shouted waking Lector up.
"Why are you so loud?" Sting whined.
"Come on! Get up! It's 11:35 am already!" I shouted.
"What?! I basically slept through and hour and a half of torturing you?!" Sting shouted.
I shot him a glare and went into the washroom to get ready. Somehow, Sting was already done eating by the time I was out of the washroom.
"Good you're done. I'm going to train you extra hard today." Sting smirked.
I groaned. Why did I have to remind him? I followed him to the mountain. Sting made me do pushups while he was sitting on me! About half way through fighting with Sting, he stopped.
"Why'd you stop?" I asked.
"Someone's watching us." Sting whispered. "Can you attack the rock over there?"
Sting pointed to a rock close to where I was before. I nodded my head and shot a laser at the rock. There was a small squeak of surprise. When the dust cleared, there was a small girl with long dark blue hair.
"Wendy?!" I exclaimed.
"I'm sorry I followed you!" Wendy apologized.
"No. It's fine. Why did you follow me?" I asked.
"Well, I was worried because you didn't show up to the guild this morning so I tracked your scent here. Mira also wanted me to follow you and see what you've been doing."
"Wendy. You must keep this a secret." I said. "Do NOT tell anyone. Especially Natsu. He would kill me. And Sting."
Wendy didn't like the fact that she was going to be keeping a secret from the guild but agreed.
"Oi Blondie. Get back over here! We're not done yet." Sting called.
"You're blonde too!" I shouted running back to him.
At sundown, we stopped fighting. Wendy healed out wounds. Sting, as usual, went back to my apartment.
"You guys are living together?!" Wendy exclaimed turning red.
"Wendy! We don't do those things! I-" I shouted.
I was about to say that I hated Sting but I couldn't. My voice caught in my throat. Why can't I say that I hate him? He's a jerk, cocky and annoying. But I felt happy when I saw him. Wendy was still looking at me for an answer.
"I don't like him that way. He's just a friend." I managed to choke out.
My chest clenched painfully. I brushed it off and walked into the guild.
"Thank God you're ok Lucy!" Mira said.
"Yeah. I just slept in." I said. "I'll try not to do it again."
Mira handed me a glass of water knowing that I would ask for it.
"Lucy? Can I stay at your place tonight?" Wendy asked.
"Sure." I said.
I talked to Mira for a bit and headed back hone to my apartment. I saw Sting flipping through the channels on my tv.
"Can you make some popcorn? Paranormal Activity 3 is on." Sting said.
"You idiot! Don't make Wendy watch something like that!" I shouted.
"It's fine Lucy. It's already late so I'm going to bed." Wendy said.
I nodded a bit concerned that she would hear the sounds from the movie but she just brushed it off.
"Come on Blondie! Hurry up!" Sting shouted.
"But I'm scared!" I said cowering in the kitchen.
"Why? I'll be right beside you." Sting said.
Somehow, that calmed me down a little bit. I put the popcorn on the microwave and went to find some blankets. I could only find one blanket. I got the popcorn out of the microwave and set it in front of Sting.
"I hope you don't mind sharing the blanket. I only found one." I said feeling heat rising up to my cheeks.
"It doesn't matter. Just hurry up and sit down." Sting said.
I sat down nervously. Sharing a small blanket was extremely uncomfortable. First of all, the blanket was too small for two people sitting side by side. Second of all, I kept my distance from Sting. Sting was getting annoyed about our blanket issue. He lifted me up and sat me down in between his legs wrapping his arms around me. I turned red.
"Problem solved." he whispered in my ear.
I shuddered. I tried not to latch onto Sting when the scary part were happening but I couldn't help it. I was holding onto him the entire movie. When the movie finally ended, I got out of Sting's grip only to fall onto the floor. My legs were to shaky.
"What's wrong?" Sting asked.
"I can't get up. The movie seriously scared me so much that I can't even stand." I replied.
I tried getting up again. I failed. Sting laughed at me and walked over.
"Need help Blondie?" he smirked.
"Just this once." I mumbled.
He picked me up bridal style and carried me to my bed. The entire time, I was blushing like crazy.
"I do expect you to let me sleep in your bed with you tonight as a thank you." Sting said.
I turned redder if that was possible.
"Only because I'm still shaken up my the movie." I said moving over.
Sting looked surprised for a moment but smiled and climbed in beside me.
"Good night Heartfillia." he said. I could feel his warm back pushed up against mine. I blushed slightly.
"Good night jerk." I said before closing my eyes.
