After a while, Sting had found his cars keys that Weisslogia had hidden. He found them in the kitchen drawer, and dangled them in front of you with a proud face. "Alright babe, let's go."
You both headed out of the house, and Sting cheered with happiness, rushing over to the passenger door to open it for you. You smiled and sat down in the seat as he ran over to his side, and started the car. He smiled to himself proudly, almost in a way that he had out smarted his father. Soon enough he was pulling out of the driveway, and driving to a sushi placed that he knew you really liked before you moved away.
"I think it's kinda funny." You giggled to yourself as he was driving,
"What's funny?" He asked, taking a side glance at you.
"How you're taking me on a date after you had sex with me."
"Hey, I didn't have sex with you. Well, the second time maybe, but the first time I genuinely believe that I made love to you. There's a difference." You blushed a bit and looked out the window as Sting chuckled. "Cmon now, don't be like that."
"I'm not 'being like that' I'm just a bit flustered is all and I feel bad."
"Feel bad? Why? About what?"
"Because I didn't realize. I thought it was... I don't know."
"Tell me, Y/n."
"I didn't know that you saw it as anything meaningful."
"What? Of course I did, Y/n. What made you think that? Was it something I did?"
"No, not at all." You assured him. "Because of Fujin, I'm just used to... Him just saying it wasn't anything more than physical."
"He really messed you up, huh?"
"Kinda."
"Did you see it as meaningful? You know, the times we did it."
"Of course I did, I'm just not really used to my feelings being reciprocated."
"Well, get used to it. Because I love you, and when we do something like that together, not only is it on a physical level, but also emotional."
"Aw, Sting!" You smiled widely and kissed two of your fingers and placed them on his cheek. "I love you so much."
"I love you more! Nothing will come between us, I promise that." You smiled to yourself, very content with how your relationship was with Sting. He had so much love for you it was immeasurable.
Very shortly after you arrived at the restaurant, and it didn't look too packed, but you were expecting to see some people from school since it was about lunch time for them as well and they could have off campus lunch. You were envious of those people who had that privilege and didn't have to eat the disgusting school lunch.
Sting rushed over to your side of the car and opened the door and helped you out. You thought it was adorable how he always made sure to do this. Once you were out of the car, he locked the car and held your hand as you made your way inside. There wasn't a line or anything, so you both were able to get right in and get a table. The moment seemed perfect, maybe a little too perfect, and there was bound to be some kind of unfortunate event to ruin the first official date. That unfortunate event would be sitting at a table right next to a group of five; Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Wendy and Gray.
"Hey Y/n, Sting!" Natsu shouted happily, catching the attention of everyone else at the table.
"Hey Natsu!" Sting would wave, but sort of ignore everyone else. Especially Gray.
"Y/n!" Lucy jumped from her seat and hugged you tightly. "It's been forever!!"
"It's only been three days." You laughed, hugging her back.
"Well, three days is a lot to friends." Erza smiled at you. "It's good to see that you're doing well."
"Thank you, Erza." You smiled.
Gray stayed silent, just glaring at Sting. Sting was glaring at him back, not saying a word, but everyone at the table could feel the awkwardness.
"Let's go to our table, Y/n." Sting said firmly, grabbing your hand and trying to drag you away from their table.
"It's good to see you, Y/n." Gray waved to you, but it was really only to piss off Sting. You heard Sting growl a bit, almost like a dog when you tried to take away their favorite toy. You managed to give a little wave back without Sting noticing, only because you didn't want to be rude.
Gray watched the two of you closely as you walked to your table. A part of him jealous, a part of him wanting to see if Sting was treating you right, and another part of him just watching you. He would see Sting pull out the chair for you and push it in, and then sit across from you. It was sort of comforting to see that Sting was treating you well, but he felt that he could treat you better.
"Gray?" A voice called, but it only appeared to him as an echo in an empty room; there were no thoughts in his head except for you.
"Gray Fullbuster." The voice called again, and this time he snapped his head back over to his friends. "Are you alright?" The voice belonged to Erza.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm perfectly fine." He answered her.
"Are you sure? You're really staring a hole into her." Erza noticed, crossing her arms and leaning back into her chair.
"So what? It's none of your business."
"Gray, you don't like her, do you?" Lucy whispered across the table, being sure to keep her voice low.
"And what if I do?"
"That will only cause issues." Erza announced, taking a sip from her water after.
"I know." Gray sighed, and then looked back at you. You were smiling happily, laughing with Sting. It hurt him a bit, but it was nothing against you. You had known Sting since forever, Gray never expected that you'd chose him over Sting. But at the same time he wanted to make you happy, happier than Sting could. And deep down he knew that he couldn't. 'Just look at her, she looks so happy. I don't want to ruin that.'
Just as he had finished his thought and came to terms with it, he felt a buzz in his pocket. He pulled out his phone to see a notification from Instagram. '
'A new Message Request from Yuki_Aguria.'
He was confused as he saw this, but decided to look anyways. No harm could come from just reading it. He opened the message, and wore a blank face as he did.
'You like Y/n, don't you?' The message read. He debated answering it or not. It was none of her business who he liked or didn't. And after what she was doing to you, why would he tell her that?
'What if I told you there could be a way you'd be able to get with her?' She double texted. Gray started to get frustrated,
'She's happy. Stop interfering.' He texted her back, his thumbs almost going super speed.
'But you're not happy. You'd be happy with her, right? And I'd be happy with Sting.'
