Chapter 37: The Blue Rose (Mega Chapter)
Okay, this deserves some explanation. So, as I said, this will be a 2,000 word chapter of Yukino telling the story if her rose. This is labeled as Yukino's P. O. V. but, she will be acting as a sort of narrator, so there might be a different way of writing for this chapter. Now that that's out of the way, let's get this chapter started!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Yukino P. O. V.-
It was a week before the Grand Magic Games.
Back then, Sabertooth was different than it was now.
Sting was a bit of a jerk, Rogue was a lot more emotionless, Rufus was more arrogant, Orga wasn't all that obsessed with music, Minerva was a bitch, no offense, and Dobengal almost never talked.
Jiemma was also the guild master. He was strict, greedy, and a cruel man. No offense again, Minerva. Your father was just a terrible man.
Then there was me.
I was quieter, a little bit emotionless, and actually, you could say I was very different than I am now. Now, I'm shy, kind, and gentle.
"And you're secretly fucking Sting in the master's office."
S-Shut up, Minerva... Anyway, it was a week before the Grand Magic Games.
Everybody else probably trained for the entire month, but not Sabertooth back then.
For the last week before the games, Jiemma made us each go out on three jobs each day to train in real time situations instead of training setups.
On the third day of the week was when it happened.
Minerva went out alone, Rogue and Frosch went by themselves, Rufus finished his quickly, Dobengal was a try hard and spent the whole day out, and Orga went alone too.
There was a job that requested two lone wizards. No more, no less. Not even an exceed. So that was the first job Sting took without Lector.
I went with him, because everyone else left.
The whole thing happened on the way to the job, not during the job itself.
Here's how it went.
"So, Yukino" Sting said, trying to start up a conversation. "You must feel pretty lucky to have the honor of going on a job with me. I'm clearly the strongest in the guild, behind Master and m'lady."
I nodded silently. "Yes, Sting-sama."
Back then, all the male members were forced to call Minerva "m'lady", due to her being the master's daughter. I also had a lot of respect for the members, so I addressed them with an honorific.
Back to the story.
"And the weather is perfect!" He clenched his fist. "This is perfect beating something up weather."
I nodded again. "I agree, Sting-sama. The sky is a very nice shade of blue with very few clouds and the flowers look very nice." I was referring to the field of flowers that we were passing by. The field was on a slope.
Sting stopped, so I did as well. "Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right. Those flowers look pretty cool. Like this guy." He crouched down and looked at a sunflower. "It's bright. Like me. Hey Yukino, come take a look!"
I walked over and bent down slightly to look. "Yes, I can see that the flower is very nice."
"Or that guy! Look, a frilly guy that looks like Rufus! Maybe he'd like another flower in that hat of his. Or that one! That white tulip is great! Let me just... grab... that..." He reached his hand out, trying to pick the flower without getting off the dirt road.
"Sting-sama, I don't believe that is a good idea."
He ignored me. "Almost... got... it... ARGH!"
He lost his balance and fell into the flowers.
But not without grabbing me first.
To try to stay up, he grabbed my cloak, which ended up pulling me down with him.
We tumbled down the slope of flowers, groaning until we reached the bottom.
He ended up on top of me. I didn't care back then, I was more emotionless, like I said. I looked down at my chest.
He was groping me.
I looked up at him and spoke, near emotionless.
"Sting-sama. You are groping my chest."
"Do you have a problem with that? I'm actually enjoying squeezing your melons. They're huge, soft, squishy, and great!"
"I suppose that is okay then."
After a moment of him squeezing, he got off. I stood up, too.
"Thanks for that." He said.
I bowed. "It is no problem, Sting-sama. If you wish, you can do that to me any time you wish at the guild."
"You sure about that? I might actually redeem that someday."
"I'd be happy to let you."
Hey, guys, can you stop staring at me and Sting like that? Okay, I get that seems extremely weird, but that's just how we were back then. That was before Fairy Tail taught us about friendship and treasuring our comrades. Minerva, Erza, wipe those smirks off your faces. I'll continue now.
"Well, we'd probably better get back up the hill." He looked up the slope. It wasn't too steep.
"Then we should go." I said.
I was about to walk, but he stood still. His eyes were transfixed on something on the ground, a grin plastered on his face.
"Sting-sama, what is wrong?"
He crouched down again. "Look at this one."
I looked down at what he was looking at.
It was a blue rose.
"Yukino, isn't this a nice flower?"
I nodded. "Yes. I really like that flower."
He shot me a smirk. "You really like it?"
I nodded again. "Yes. I do."
I didn't have many opinions back then, but I did have some.
"Well then." He said. "You deserve something special."
He picked the flower and stood up, facing me.
"Sting-sama?" I said confused.
"Just, let this happen." He said.
He leaned forward and placed the blue rose in my hair.
"There. Just another thing that makes you more beautiful."
It was the first time that I smiled since before I lost my sister.
"Thank you... Sting-sama."
"Hey, you're in Sabertooth, the best guild in Fiore. You should feel special."
"Yes. I will, Sting-sama."
"And drop the honorific. Call me Sting."
I nodded. "Okay... Sting..."
And that's the story of the flower in my hair. The blue rose.
-Erza P. O. V.-
"Roll credits." Kagura said, earning a laugh from most of the group.
"Like I said earlier, Kagura, you would be excellent at Cinema Sins." Rogue said.
"So, that's it? That's the whole story?" I asked Yukino, moving back to the story.
She nodded. "Yeah, pretty much. The job went well after that, but that had nothing to do with the rose."
"So, basically, your precious 'Sting-sama' gave you that rose and you've treasured it ever since?"
We turned our heads to the door to see Lucy leaning in the doorway, holding a tray full of bowls.
"H-How long have you been there?" Yukino asked, clearly flustered.
"For the whole story." She said. "I was just gonna walk in here, but then I heard that you were about to tell a story, so I decided to listen in."
"You finished cooking already?" Yukino asked.
"Yeah. It's microwaving ramen, not Cake Boss." Lucy replied, still in the doorway.
"I love that show!" I yelled.
And then Yukino chimed in with a "Haven't you ever heard of closing the goddamn door!?"
Lucy shrugged as she walked over with the tray. "Now's not the time for song lyrics. Now's the time to eat the ramen I spent cooking." She gave a bowl and some chopsticks to everyone. She also gave a fork and spoon for those who wished to have that option.
"Why do you guys have chopsticks in your kitchen anyway?" I asked, already eating some of the glorious golden noodles.
"Ask Rufus." Rogue said, enjoying his ramen.
"I've always had a fascination with other cultures. Lady Minerva and I actually went on our first date to a Japanese restaurant. I remember it exactly. Plus, I remember that we all love ramen." He answered.
"Okay, Yukino, your turn." I reminded her.
"Oh, that's right. Uhh... Erza, truth or dare?"
"Truth. Hit me with your best shot!"
"Out of all the video games we've mentioned, which is your favorite?"
I laughed. "That's easy! The feeling of having an easy question fills me with DETERMINATION!"
"So... I'm guessing Undertale?" Kagura asked.
"Yup!"
"I kinda figured." Yukino said. "Erza, I guess it's your turn."
"Sure thing. Lucy! Truth or dare?"
"Erza. Before I pick, promise me you won't dare me to do something that will make me leave the circle, okay? I want to sit here and eat my ramen."
"I promise, Lucy."
"Perfect. I'll take dare then. I know all your questions would be way too personal ones about me and Natsu, so I'd rather take a dare."
"Okay, Lucy. I dare you to call Natsu and tell him EXACTLY what you told me to say to Jellal!"
"...I retract my previous statement."
"Too late, Lucy." Minerva said, giving her the lacrima.
Lucy sighed. "I'm gonna die of embarrassment..."
"Well, if you die, you can become Lucy in the sky with diamonds!" I said.
"You're just so happy with this, aren't you Erza?"
"Yes, very much. This is revenge for earlier."
Lucy sighed as she called the guild. "Hello?"
"Hello Lucy!" Mira answered the call.
"GENERAL MIRAJANE OF THE FIORE SHIPPING ARMY! MINERVA AND I HAVE BEEN SERVING YOU WELL! THE SHIPS ARE HAPPENING IN SABERTOOTH!" I yelled at the lacrima.
"Very good, Lieutenants Erza and Minerva. Pretty soon, you both will be generals right along side me."
"Okay, Mira, listen. Can I... talk to Natsu?" Lucy asked, bringing the call back to its intended purpose.
"Oh, you wish to speak to your boyfriend? Sure! Luckily, Natsu has finally ditched the cold! He's still hanging around the guild, though."
"At 8 at night? He usually leaves at 7."
"Well, I thought it was best that he stay for a bit. My matchmaking senses said that you would call, so I convinced him to stay. Anyway, I'll get him. Natsu! Lucy's calling you!"
The lacrima was quiet for a short moment.
"Hey Luce! I'm all better now! Isn't that great!?"
Then the quiet was destroyed by the familiar voice of my salmon haired idiot teammate.
Why did we name the team after him?
"Hey Natsu..."
"Mira said you wanted to talk. How's Sabertooth? Tell Sting I said hi! And Rogue! And the other guys!"
"Natsu says hi." Lucy told the group.
"Anyway, what'd you wanna talk about, Luce?"
Lucy sighed once before speaking back into the lacrima.
"Y-You're one sexy bastard, Natsu..."
We stifled giggles on our ends as we waited Natsu's response.
"That's a new one. Nobody's called me by that nickname before. What's it mean?"
"Do you w-want to come over to my place sometime...?"
"Luce, I always sneak into your room to sleep with you. Though, I can't get in since you locked your window. Do you mean come over to Sabertooth?"
Here it comes.
"If you come over... You... c-can... f-fuck my b-brains out..."
There was silence.
"I don't know exactly what that means, but I got it, Luce! I'll be right over once I grab my stuff!" He then hung up.
The group was silent.
Nobody was laughing. Lucy's face was as red as my lustrous hair.
Fuck.
This is really bad.
"Minerva, this is a Code 7." I said to her.
"Yeah, I know." She said, thinking.
"Umm... What's a Code 7?" Lucy asked.
"It's part of the Mirajane Shipping Army of Fiore's, or MSAF for short, codes." I explained.
"But... what does Code 7 entail?" Lucy asked again.
"Extreme Cockblocker." Minerva said.
"Extreme... Cockblocker?" Lucy asked.
"Mira made a scale about how to judge cockblockers. The scale is a 1 to 10 scale, but each number has a title affixed to it. A Level 10 cockblocker can be called a Super Cockblocker. Level 1 is an Almost Cockblocker. Level 2 is a Barely Cockblocker. Level 3 is a Slight Cockblocker. Level 4 is an Average Cockblocker. Level 5 is a Half The Time Cockblocker. Level 6 is a Big Cockblocker. Level 7 is a Big Cockblocker. Level 8 is a Giant Cockblocker. Level 9 is a Super Cockblocker. And level 10 is an Extreme Cockblocker. Lucy, you are are a 7, so you could be called a Level 7 cockblocker, or a Big Cockblocker." I explained.
"Erza's correct. Though, as bad as Natsu is, he's not as bad as the only secret level 11 cockblocker..." Minerva said.
"Who's that?" Kagura asked, curiously interested in the conversation.
"Happy." I said.
"He's the King Cockblocker." Minerva said.
Lucy sighed.
"You three have way too much free time..."
