Chap 16- Sting's Doubt

Sting's POV



I was kissing Yukino, where I was hoping nobody could see us. I opened my eyes a bit until I saw a familiar blond being pulled away. I quickly broke the kiss with Yukino.



"Sorry, but I gotta go to the restroom. I'll meet you back at the entrance." I pecked her lips one last time.



"OK, I'll meet you there." We both separated and went our own ways. As for me I followed Lucy's scent to a place where no one else was. She went behind a wall and the scent doesn't move anymore. I quietly took a peek at what she was doing there. I saw her and Natsu kissing and for some reason I felt like I need to stop them, but I reminded myself that Yukino was waiting for me. I watched them at the corner of the wall for a bit longer before saw Natsu's exceed coming towards them, I ran back to the entrance, making sure they didn't see me. 



I got there and saw Yukino with her bag patiently waiting.



"Yukino!" I yelled out to her. "Sorry there was a lot of people at the, um....toilet."



"It's fine." She smiled at me. We started walking to the train station, I started thinking about what I saw before. 'I guess they started going out.' My chest, for some reason, hurt at the thought of them going out together. I wonder why.



Maybe I'll go visit her next week.



Lucy's POV



Timeskip 4 Days Later



Right now, I'm walking home from the guild. I was walking next to the river until I felt a presence behind me. I was about to turn around when a hand covered my mouth and another arm got me in a headlock. I struggled a bit, but it didn't do any good. So I stepped on their foot and once they loosened up a bit I elbowed him/her hard in the stomach. I turn around and looked on the floor only to find Sting clutching the place where I elbowed him.



"Woow, blondie. Your elbow is hard." I sweat-dropped at the sight.



"Sting... What the hell were you doing! If you wanted to say 'hi' couldn't you just walk up to me and say it instead of covering my mouth and making me think I was being kidnapped?"



"Well, you know I love making big entrances." Once again I sweat-dropped.



"So let me get this straight. Instead of walking up to someone and say 'hi' you want to get elbowed instead?"



"If it will be a big entrance then yes."



"Woow, your crazy. So anyway what are you doing here?" I helped him up from the floor. '



"What can't I visit my best friend?"



'Sure you can. First you broke my heart, then you left me when you promised you wouldn't and this is the only time you visited me purposely.' I snapped out f my thoughts and quickly responded to him. "Sure."



"Are you gonna do anything tomorrow?" Sting asked.



"Natsu said we were gonna be doing a job tomorrow. Why? Is there something you need?"



"U-Umm, no, nothing."



"So, when are you leaving?" I asked.



Sting's POV



"Umm... tomorrow morning." I saw a hint of sadness in her eyes for a second but they quickly turned back to normal.



To be honest I really wanted to spend time with her tomorrow. Like old times , when it was her, Rogue and I. I miss those times. Now I think about it I ave't really seen her this past two months. I really miss her and Rogue.



"Well, I have to go now. Bye Sting. Make sure to visit again sometime and if you're looking for Rogue as well he's said he was gonna go on a overnight job this morning. So you might have to wait till tomorrow to see him. Bye" I stood there watching till her shadow was gone before I felt a hint of sadness in my heart.



Lucy's POV



Timeskip Next Day



I was waiting outside for Natsu to come. I was wearing my usual outfit.(In the media)



"Luce!" I looked towards the direction of the voice and I saw Natsu running up to me.



"Hey Natsu. So what job are we going on?"



"The usual. We have to capture some bandits in some town. It pays 2400J So I think it would be enough for a month of your rent."



"Ok, lets get to the train station." His face instantly turned green after I said that.



"Do we have to. It makes me sick just thinking about it." I sweat-dropped at his green face.



"Yes its the quickest way, now lets go." I pulled his arm, I took a glance behind us and I thought I saw the someone with the same coloured hair as Sting, but it quickly disappeared. 'Guess it was my imagination.' I just shrugged it off and forgot about it.



Sting's POV



'Crap she almost saw me.' Ok, I might've lied about leaving today. And plus, I was bored today so I decided to follow them around today to make sure Natsu doesn't do anything to Lucy.



They started to to the train station while I was just following them, making sure they didn't see me.
They both got the tickets and got on the train. I got the train as well sitting a few chairs away from them but I made sure I could still see what they were doing. 



Natsu's face turned green once the train started moving, so did mine. I might've been sick but I still watched them. Suddenly I saw Lucy put Natsu's head on her lap, it felt like my heart was filled with anger and rage just then. 'That's what she used to do with me.' I thought.



Lucy's POV



I laughed at Natsu's face once the train started moving. I felt kind of bad for him so I reached out and grabbed his head to put on my lap.



"L-Luce, what ar-are y-you doi-doing?"



"Trying to make you feel better. This used to work on Sting when he got motion sickness. So it should work in you as well." He just stayed quiet a couple of minutes later I realized he had fell asleep on my lap. So I decided to sleep a bit as well.



I woke up seeing that we were close to arriving at the town. So I woke up Natsu.



"Natsu! We're getting off now. Come on." The train stopped moving and the doors opened. Natsu immediately woke up and ran outside yelling like a maniac. I walked outside to find Natsu running around the station.



"His no different." I mumbled. I felt someone watching be so I looked around but no one was.
I dragged Natsu out of the station and we went to the mayor's house for more information on the job.



"Hi, we are the Fairy Tail mages for the job you sent us." I spoke to the guard at the door.



"Can you please show me you Fairy Tail mark?" I raised my left hand up while Natsu just showed the guard his shoulder. "Please come in." The guard opened the gate for Natsu and I to walk through.
Once we reached the front door, the door opened to show a man with light brown hair, he was about the same age as Natsu and I, not to mention he looked like a real flirt.



"Hi, you guys must be the Fairy Tail mages for the job." He looked at both off us Natsu and then at me.



"And you are ma'am?"



"Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia. Celestial mage."



"I see.You did a good job in the GMG." He walked up too me, took my hand and kissed it. 'Wow he makes Loke look like a fool.' I thought. "Well Lucy, would you like to talk with me a bit? I would like to get to know you better." He was still holding my hand. Natsu came up and took my hand away from his.



"I'm Natsu Dragneel and she's mine." Natsu put his arm around my shoulders.



"How rude of me my name is Connor and I'm the mayor of this town. And I also think we should let the lady speak for herself." He pointed his hand towards me.



"Sorry but I have a boyfriend." I sweat dropped a bit.



"I see. But anyway lets get back to the topic of the job." He stopped for a second. "All we know is that the bandit mostly steal valuables from houses. We don't have a exact time when he usually strikes."



"Ok, I have a plan. Do you have anything that cost a lot?" I asked to mayor.



"Sure, there's some in the house. Please follow me." We walked inside the house and waited for the mayor to come back with the metal. 



About two minutes later Connor came back holding a small piece of diamond.



"Will this do?" He held it out to me.



"Sure thanks. We'll return it later." Natsu and I walked outside to the forest, while I told Natsu the plan. In short story the plan was to put the metal out in the open and wait for the bandit to come, but when he does Natsu jumps out and catches him.



We laid it out and waited for a bit before we heard a rustle in the bushes. Natsu and I looked toward it and we saw a bunch of people going to the diamond. Natsu ans I immediately jumped out earning the bandits attention. 



They all quickly surrounded us.



"You ready Luce?" Natsu and I stood back to back of each other.



"Always."



"Lets Go!"



Timeskip After Beating All The Bandits



Natsu and I bet successfully bet all the bandits but the downside is that we destroyed a part of the forest. 



We are walking back to the mayor's house to receive our payment.



"I see you beat them and destroyed part of the forest." Connor said.



"Yeah that was him." I pointed at Natsu. "Sorry about that."



"It's fine. But if you were really sorry you would stay here for a bit."



"I'm sorry, but I'm not that sorry." I said.



"Well, it was worth a shot at least. But if you ever break up with him, come back anytime."



"I'm good."



"Anyway, here's your payment." He handed us the jewels, and gave my hand one final kiss. Natsu just had smoke coming from him. I grabbed Natsu's hand and we walked back to the station.
Natsu stopped for a second and pulled me into a dark alleyway.



"Natsu, what are you doi-" Natsu cut me off by smacking his lips on mine. I felt him lick my bottom lip for entrance again, I just opened my mouth a bit. I felt his tongue explore every inch of my mouth, before his tongue started playing with mine. We both ran out of breath so we parted away from each other.



"That was for what that guy did to you." He started walking away leaving me embarrassed at what just happened.



"W-wait up!" I recovered and ran up to him.



Sting's POV



I was watching them and again I felt the urge to run up to Natsu and punch him in the face. Maybe saying asking Yukino out was the wrong thing.
