Old Friends {Sting x Reader AU}

3

You never thought you would ever have so much fun in your life. The karaoke bar was so much fun, and you made sure to get everyones' social medias. Yukino even started to warm up to you a bit. Sting had definitely put on an act that made her believe you were just best friends. Which you were, but you were never sure if you would ever be more than that.

After you and Sting walked Yukino home, Sting walked with you home since he only lived next door. "Today was fun." You said, as you both started to get closer to home.

"Yeah, it was. And hey, I'm sorry about Yukino." He lowered his head a bit.

"Oh, it's no worries." You waved him off. "She seems very nice, I'm happy for you."

It killed him to hear you say that. Were you really okay with him being with someone else?

"Yeah she's pretty nice, but I'm not sure..." He shrugged.

"You're not sure? How long have you been together?"

"Little less than a year."

"Oh, that's not very long." You said plainly. "Why aren't you sure?"

"I don't know, she gets very jealous." He admitted.

"Have you given her reasons to?"

"No, not at all! I've made sure everything is about her!" He yelled, almost as if you had struck a nerve. "I don't get it! I've done so many things and it's like it goes unappreciated. Like it's never enough. I get that's she's been spoiled in other relationships, but this isn't like those!"

"Sting-"

"God, everything I do with her feels like a chore now. But can I tell her that without her absolutely freaking out on me? No!"

"Sting!"

He finally snapped out of it, and looked at you. "I'm sorry, heh." He laughed nervously.

"It's okay... but you should talk to her about it."

"I can't. She would go crazy." He sighed.

"Does anyone know how you feel?"

"Nope, only you now." He smiled softly at you. "I wish... never mind."

"No, tell me, Sting."

"No I can't. Maybe I will eventually." He said as you both reached your front door.

"Thank you for walking me home." You smiled at him.

"Of course, anything for you."

You smiled at him and waved to him before walking into your home, your mom sitting on the couch drinking some tea while watching Criminal Minds. "You're home late." She said, taking a sip of her tea.

"Not that late, it's only eight o clock." You told her, taking off your shoes at the door.

"Mm." She hummed, and then looked at you. "Did you have fun?"

"I did."

"Weisslogia had told me some things."

"Oh?"

"Yep. Sting has a girlfriend you know."

"Yes, I met her today."

"Mm.. Weiss doesn't seem to like her very much."

"Really? Why?" You asked, sitting down next to your mom.
