Romeo kicked a rock out of his way in anger as he walked around the dimly lit streets of Magnolia. It was around 11 pm and Romeo was still not planning on going back to his apartment any time soon. The dark purple haired boy sighed as he looked  up at the black sky above him.

Thousands of thoughts were lingering around in the 17 year old's head, blocking the view of the streets in front of him as he wandered off around in them like a broken puppet.

Why? Why did this happen?

Natsu...the person he had admired the most in his entire life had actually killed people.

In Natsu's entire life, it was a normal cycle for him to destroy towns. Him and Gray had done it thousands of times before.

But this time, it was different.

Over hundreds of people-- no. Thousands of people had suffered because of them this time.

As always. They must of had one of their usual fights.

One of their usual silly fights.

Romeo fisted both of his arms at his side at the thought of this.

He was angry. Angry at them for just fighting over something so useless as usual and ended up killing thousands of innocent people.

Of course they had fought about something stupid. What else could have happened?

Romeo snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the sound of sniffling coming from somewhere around him. Turning around, he found a black cloacked figure in front of the town's lack, sniffing and gasping softly for air every second.

'Is he crying?' Thought Romeo in head his head.

Curiosity got the best of him, so Romeo decided to approach the cloaked figure, a sting of worry crossing throught his heart for an unknown reason.

Once he stood right behind the cloaked figure, the stranger had still not sensed Romeo's presence behind him. Upon closer inspection, Romeo had founded that the cloaked stranger had beautiful long dark blue locks, that were a little bit shown out of the black hood that was on his head.

'So it's maybe a girl..?' Thought Romeo curiously as he looked at the stranger in front of him.

Finally, he had decided to speak.

"Hey." Mumbled Romeo softly over the stranger in front of him. "Are you okay?" Said stranger flinched at the voice that came from behind him/her.

The stranger knew it.

The cloaked figure knew that voice.

Although Romeo's voice sounded deaper to her then before, she still recognised his voice perfectly.

Slowly, the cloaked figure started to turn around towards Romeo until both of them were staring into each other's eyes.

Romeo's breath got stuck in his throat at the sight of the person in front of him.

"R--Romeo-kun?"

"Wendy?"

It was her.

He hadn't seen the beautiful sky dragon slayer in over 2 years now, so it was a surprise for him to see her in front of him right now.

"Wendy!" Yelled Romeo joyfully as he bent down and attacked the dark blue haired girl with a bown crushing hug which made the said girl gasp at. "I missed you so freaking much."

A small giggle slipped out of her mouth at this as she slowly slid her small arms around Romeo's muscular frame.

"I missed you too Romeo-kun."

Romeo frowned at Wendy's tone.

It sounded...sad.

And then, it hit him.

'She was crying...'

Romeo quickly broke out of their hug at this which startled the blue haired girl a bit.

Indeed, Wendy was crying. Tears were streaming down her beautiful face, out of her innocent brown eyes, which made Romeo eyes to widen in worry.

"Y--Your...crying." Mumbled Romeo quickly as he caressed his thumb on her wet cheek. "Wh--why....why are you crying Wendy-chan?"

Wendy smiled at him for a moment.

But then it soon faded away as more tears were making there way on her cheeks.

"R--Romeo-kun..." Wimpered Wendy softly to Romeo as she gasped softly for air. "Natsu...a--and G--Gray...one minute they.....then they just--"

Romeo didn't know why, but he couldn't take it anymore.

He couldn't see the blue haired girl crying in front of him any longer.

Softly, he grabbed her by the back of her neck, and burried her face on his chest.

"It's okay...just....let it out."

She did. Every single ounce of sadness inside of her, she let it all out in the warm chest of the dark purple haired boy.

"Sorry, the place is a little messy right now." Said Romeo shyly over to Wendy as he welcomed her inside of his apartment. Wendy chuckled at this as she slowly walked inside the small apartment. Looking around the place for a bit, she smiled softly at the sight of the house around her.

"It's pretty nice."

"Hehe, thanks." Said Romeo as he scratched the back of his neck shyly over to the short blue haired girl.

"You live here alone?"

"Yeah, moved in a few month ago when I turned seventeen." Said Romeo while sitting on his living room couch as he ushered for the blue haired girl to do the same, which she gratefully did. "I thought it would be better this way, you know, have my own place."

"I get it, you just want a little bit of privacy." Said Wendy with a laugh which Romeo nodded at with a smile.

"Yeah, but I do still visit my dad every once in a while."

"Well, it's really a nice catch. Congratulations."

"Hehe, thanks Wendy."

"Your welcome." Said Wendy to him with a smile, which made Romeo smile as well.

Is it just him or did the blue haired girl in front of him get....prettier?

No, she was always pretty. Beautiful as well.

So why was Romeo feeling this strange and....tingly feeling inside of him?

Was he getting sick or something?

"Romeo-kun."

Wendy's soft voice snapped Romeo out of his little daze as he turned his head towards her. Worry washed over him as he saw a new fresh set of tears were forming in her big brown eyes as she bit her bottom lip slightly. Romeo took her small pale hands in his as she looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah, Wendy?" Asked Romeo softly which made the said girl gulp in nervousness.

Wendy looked down at her's and Romeo's intertwined hands, and gave his and her hand's a small squeeze.

"It....they were okay at first." Said Wendy softly. "Gray and Natsu they were fine at first. Laughing, joking and even goofing around with each other." Said Wendy with a slight laugh as the sweet memories of her and her team flashed up in her head.

Then, a memory that she wished to forget had suddenly flashed in her head.

"B--But then...they..." continued Wendy with a gulp. "They started arguing about who was the strongest between them...one thing led to another and then they started to argue about a-- about a rather touching subject for the both of them..."

"Touching subject?" Asked Romeo with narrowed eyes which the young blue haired girl nodded at softly.

"It....it's about Natsu's.....original form."

Romeo's eyes widdened at this.

"I--We don't know how it happened. Me, Lucy and Erza weren't there to hear the whole argument..." Said Wendy as she kept her head down. "We were just walking around town when they just--"

Her voice slightly cracked.

"--when they just destroyed a building right in front of us....b--but that wasn't all....a...man that I had met there...he was Slightly older then me but he was really nice to us a--a--and now he's--"

"Don't. " mumbled Romeo softly to her as he slightly lifted her chin up with his free hand. "Y--you don't have to continue." He said in hushed tone as he wipped one of her tears away.

She didn't.

She didn't continue anymore.

"Thank you." Said Wendy softly to him as she hugged him which took the dark purple haired boy by surprise. He then smiled to himself as he started to slowly wrap his own arms around the blue haired girl's small body frame.

Who would of thought that
taking a walk in the middle of the night was an amazing idea?

Ooooooh~ things are starting to get reall gooddd~~~
