Old Friends {Sting x Reader AU}

12

Gray didn't seem hurt by you not walking with him to class that morning, he actually seemed kind of happy that you and Sting made up. Of course, he would question you asking if the two of you were dating or not, which you didn't have the answer to either. You weren't sure if you were dating or not.

Since Sting broke up with Yukino it was obvious that Sting was pretty close to you. He would hold your hand and try to kiss you, but he never told you if you guys were actually dating or not. You assumed that you were, but you know what happens when you assume.

"I can't believe you chose him over me." Hibiki would fake cry. "I would have been the perfect gentleman."

You rolled your eyes and sighed, not paying Hibiki any mind. Ever since you got here he had been nothing but annoying to you, and most definitely came on too strong.

After your second class was over, it was time for your study hall period. You hurried to the library, hoping to avoid Yukino, and pretty much everyone from that group. You were sure that Sting had told them what had really happened by now, but you still didn't want to have any bad friendships come out of this.

You sat in your usual spot in the back corner, and rested your head in the table for a few moments before looking up, and deciding you were actually going to do work today. You reached into your backpack to get out a notebook and your page of homework to spread it out on the table. When you looked back up you saw Rogue, getting ready to take his seat in front of you.

"So you and Sting, huh?" He asked with a small smirk. Of course now, you may have to be careful what you say, since you weren't sure if Sting had sent Rogue to 'spy' on you.

"Yup, me and Sting." You laughed a little bit.

"I never thought him and Yukino would break up, only because he's a wimp." Rogue shrugged, and you laughed a bit harder. "No one really liked her, Y/n. So don't feel like you ruined anything, you actually did us a favor."

"Really? I feel really bad, honestly."

"Don't be. You probably only feel bad because Yukino is living for the drama right now." Rogue sighed. "But don't worry, Sting is taking care of it."

"Yeah, he said that, but I'm not so sure."

"He's trying to make everything right." Rogue smiled a bit. "You know, by getting the truth out."

"Yeah." You nodded. "It just sucks kinda."

"Are you stressed about it?"

"Incredibly stressed."

"Why's that?"

You took a few seconds and sighed. "I'm new here, so no one really knows me yet. All of this... is how people are going to look at me and see me until the end of the year. I don't want to be known for that, because I'm not like that at all! I have respect for relationships, I try my best to not interfere. That's why I wanted to stay away from you guys for a while, even though it killed me too."

"You wanted to stay away from us?" Rogue asked, tilting his head a bit.

"Well, specifically Sting and Yukino. Because it was obvious that Yukino hated me. And she probably hates me even more now."

"She'll get over it. She wasn't that great of a person anyways." Rogue waved it off.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't worry about it right now. Remember, the truth will always come to light."

You walked with Rogue to lunch and Sting happily hurried over to you. "Y/n! I told you everything would be fine!" He shouted excitedly.
