-Sting P. O. V.-

After Rogue tricked me into basically paying for dinner, we all went back to the guild.

"Well, it got pretty late pretty quickly." Rogue said. "I guess what they say is true. Time flies when you're having fun."

"I'm gonna snap your little emo neck, shadow boy." I told him.

"That's a quote and a half." Minerva said.

"Well, Sting's right. It's getting pretty late. What time is it?" Yukino wondered aloud.

"I remember. It's about 9:00 pm." Rufus said, tapping his forehead.

"Thank you, Time Lord. Let's just go, Rufus." Orga walked off, Rufus following him before anyone else could mock him."

"Yeah, they're right. Let's go, girls." Lucy said, facing Erza and Minerva.

"Actually, I want to go prepare a few things for tomorrow, so go on ahead, Lucy." Erza said, then she walked off towards the lounge.

"Well, I have no plans. Let's go, Lucy." Minerva then walked to the rooms, followed by Lucy after a shrug.

"I guess I'll go to your office, Sting." Dobengal said.

"Woah, why are you going there?" Beth asked.

"Oh. Well, before you guys showed up, Minerva had her lone room, and Yukino did too, actually, but neither of them would let me sleep with them. Yukino was uncomfortable, saying that there's only one guy at the guild she'd allow to sleep in her room with her, and Minerva said I wasn't worthy, so I just sleep on the couch in Sting's office until he wakes up." he explained.

"Say, Millianna, since Erza's busy, why don't you go ask if you can sleep with Minerva and Lucy tonight?" Arana suddenly said, turning to the cat lady.

"Oh, that's a great idea! And if Erzy comes back, we can have a big sleepover, like sisters! No offense, Kagura." Millianna cheered.

"None taken." The swordswoman spoke.

"I'll go catch up with them right now!" Millianna bounded away after the previous two ladies.

Arana then grabbed onto Dobengal's arm. "There. You get a bed tonight. Come with me."

As the two walked away, that was the first time I've ever seen that ninja guy blush.

"You know, I think that's the first time he's taken off his mask outside of his room." Rogue said, crossing his arms.

Beth shrugged. "Arana likes them unique guys. C'mon, Risley, we gots to go to bed, too!"

"Yeah, let's go!" They left, leaving me, Yukino, Kagura, Rogue, and our two little exceeds.

"Well, I guess we'd better head back to our rooms, too." I said. Lector started giggling.

"What's so funny, Lector?" Rogue asked.

"Did you guys forget about the air conditioner?" He asked, looking like he was resisting the urge to fully burst out laughing.

All four of our faces went pale.

Frosch clapped his little nubs and bounced up and down. "Double mommy and daddy time!"

The four of us looked like a pumpkin patch, if pumpkins were red, that is.

"Oh yeah... I forgot about that..." Yukino said quietly.

"Well, no use delaying the inevitable, right?" Lector said, walking ahead.

Frosch tugged on Rogue's leg. "Rogue? Why did your face turn into a tomato?"

Okay, that fixed it, everyone started laughing. Even Rogue.

"Oh, Frosch, you're so innocent." he said, picking him up in his arms. "But, yeah. Lector's right. Might as well do this sooner rather than later. Let's get this fan fiction fantasy started." He and Kagura started towards our room.

"I wonder what he meant by that." Yukino asked as we followed them.

"Probably that this situation is like a fantasy to Minerva and/or Erza. The way that two ships that you have sleeping together in the same room? Only people crazy obsessed with their ships could dream something like this. Like in a fan fiction or something." I shrugged.

"Like Mira, from Fairy Tail!" Yukino said.

I nodded. "Yeah, I guess."

We kept walking to the room.

-A Few Minutes Later-

-Rogue P. O. V.-

Before we went into our room, I stopped by Millianna and Arana's room to get two cat beds that Millianna had. Though, I had to interrupt Arana doing... something... to Dobengal. I assume it was some kind of seducing, but it also looked like dancing.

I set Frosch down in a little green cat bed I set across the room, and put a red one next to it for Lector. When he came in, Lector immediately laid down and fell asleep in it. The two little guys are like kids, whenever it gets really late, they just pass out. I guess we're like parents to them. Well, Sting and Yukino to Lector and me to Frosch. Maybe Kagura can help me.

When the two exceeds were asleep,  we all looked at each other.

"We each get a corner. You turn around, you die." Kagura said, plainly.

We each nodded, even Yukino, grabbed our pajamas and went to a corner. I got the corner closest to the exceeds, because I felt the most comfortable near them.

After we all changed, we faced each other again, on Kagura's word, of course.

Sting had a pair of white boxers on, and I had my black ones.

Yukino had a nightgown on. Kagura mentioned to me on the way back that Erza convinced her to not wear a bra in her sleep. I guess Sting's in for quite the ride.

Kagura... Oh dear...

She was wearing a dark purple pajama gown, similar to Yukino's. I wasn't sure if she had decided to wear a bra, but I want to live, so I won't ask.

"Kagura, weren't you supposed to have a pink gown?" Yukino asked.

"I don't actually wear that. That was a gift that Erza got me, but pink's not really my color. I just keep it in case someone asks to borrow some clothes." She answered, crossing her arms.

"Well... I guess it's time..." Sting said, awkwardly. I can't blame him though. Not many people can talk about this without being awkward.

Kagura sighed and got into my bed. "No use delaying it. Just get in."

I hesitantly got into my bed, Kagura scooting over to give me room. She faced the other bed and I faced the wall, leaving us back to back. I was really tired, so I kind of dozed off, forgetting about Sting and Yukino.

I really wanted to see their faces when they got in.

-Yukino P. O. V.-

After Rogue and Kagura got into bed and fell asleep, Sting and I looked at each other.

"Well... do you want to go in first?" He asked.

I shook my head. "No, no. It's your bed, you can go in first."

Sting slowly got into his bed, I assume as he usually does, but a bit more.. awkward...

"Y-Your turn..."

I nodded and got under the covers next to him.

We kinda just laid there for a few minutes. I was shivering slightly.

"Yukino... Are you cold?" Sting asked after a minute.

I looked over at him and nodded, embarrassed. "A l-little..."

After another minute, he spoke again. "D-Do you want me to w-warm you up...?"

I looked at him, surprised. "W-What!?"

He pulled me into a hug, my face in his chest, his chin on my head. "We c-could... c-cuddle... I think that's what it's called..."

I was silent for a while. "S-Sure... Let's c-cuddle..."

His arms were firmly wrapped around my waist, so I did the same to him. And that's how we were when we fell asleep.

Damn, more dirty thoughts...

I bet Sting doesn't get any of these...
