*Kissing Fears Away*

Fandom: Fairy Tail
Pairing: Rogue x Reader
-------------------

"Eh? [Name]-chan... What are you doing out this late?"

[Name] looks to her left and sees Sabertooth's Shadow Dragon Slayer, Rogue Cheney. He was the last person [Name] wanted to see. To anyone, that would be worrisome because they all knew she was in love with said dragon slayer. She wanted to forget her feelings for the black haired mage so she decided it would be best to leave Sabertooth. He was in love with someone else anyways.

"Hello Rogue-kun... I should be asking you that." [Name]'s voice came out as sharp and tense. She didn't mean for it to sound so mean but she couldn't deny that she was kind of happy that it did.

"I just got back from my mission. Now, what are you doing?" Rogue questioned as he slightly narrowed his eyes.

[Name] sighed and shook her head, "Nothing, I'm just going for a walk."

"At eleven at night?" Rogue questioned, though it sounded more like a statement.

[Name] got an irk mark and rolled her eyes, "I'll see you later Rogue-kun." Before [Name] could walk away though, Rogue grabbed her arm and pulled her with him.

"H-Hey! Rogue-kun! What are you doing??" [Name] questioned loudly as she struggled to keep up. She just wanted to go on her way. She was trying to leave Sabertooth and get over her crush. She couldn't handle being hurt once again.

Rogue ignored her questions and pleas as he approached the apartment building where he and Sting resided, sending Frosch to Sting's apartment before pulling [Name] to his room.

A small blush dusted [Name]'s cheeks as she realized Rogue was holding her hands and they were in his apartment, "Rogue-kun! What's going on??"

Rogue sighed and led her to their couch before pulling [Name] into his arms, "[Name]-chan... I know you weren't just going for a walk."

[Name] pushed away from Rogue's arms and averted her gaze, "How would you know what I was doing?"

"No you weren't." Rogue pulled her back, "You were mumbling about how you going to go somewhere else as long as you weren't at Sabertooth. Why would you want to leave?"

[Name] turned to Rogue and looked him in the eyes and stated, "I wanted to leave because I love you and I didn't want to be hurt again."
Rogue's eyes widened in surprise but after a moment, the shock wore off and he pulled [Name] into a tight hug.

"I'll always be here for you, [Name]-chan. You don't have to fear anything like that anymore. I love you."

The rest of the night, Rogue kisses her pain and her fears away in a promise that he would be there for her no matter what.
