" It's gotta be stupid if you're the one giving it, Sting." Rogue scoffed, folding his newspaper.

Lucy also just gave him a blank stare and agreed with Rogue.

"Urgh, It's not stupid." Sting assured, " Why is there no one on my side?"

"... Now that i think of it, Where's your Exceed?" Lucy asked, realizing there's no red cat praising Sting anywhere or a green cat and it's frog costume with gender unknown.

"At home, we didn't bother waking them up and bringing them to the guild." Sting answered while scribbling or drawing graffiti on his desk.

Lucy blinked, "Why not?"

" Because we don't want to bother them? " Rogue answered, Lucy secretly hid her thought off dissapointment. i mean how can you not cry at the thought of Frosch - that little cute green frog-i mean exceed- not here?

"Whatever, what was your stupid idea again?" Lucy asked, changing the subject.

"Great, NOW you want to hear it?"

"given i have nothing to do, Yukino's nowhere." Lucy shrugged, "Why the hell not?"

" Okay then, Assist me."

"what?"

"assist."

" Look, Sting. be more specific?" Lucy rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Be my assistant, or whatever. Help me with this piece of shi-Workload, i need to get out of this. i can't take it any longer." Sting grunted in response, a little of whining added.

He also added raising his hand exhausted to make it more dramatic.

"Oh, like helping you stamp or whatever those documents you have? " Lucy asked once more, trying to make it more clear.

Sting nodded, "You have to, i Hate this piles of documents, Paper is one of the things i need to make it dissapear."

Rogue rolled his eyes," Which obviously he can't."

Well yeah, Money is pratically Paper, and paper comes from tree.
Duh.

if he destroy that, how am i ever going to pay my rent?
"That's a actually a good idea, Not stupid. i can help you with your piles of work, not all of them but it counts for the exchange program thingy." Lucy explained

"Oh, THANK GOD."

"For how long will i waste my time?" Lucy coughed, "For how long i'll be doing this?"

"There's time limit?"

"Of course, you can't expect me to do that for my whole life." Lucy replied, "As much as i love writing and papers, my delicate hands can't handle it."

Rogue snorted, Gee thanks, Rogue.

" you mean the same hands that destroyed mountains?"

Lucy rolled her eyes and stared back at Sting waiting for an answer.

"I forgot how there's time limit, this just means i'll never get out of this." Sting starting to become more depressed, it's getting darker each time he cursed. "I should just try to kill Acnologia-'Lucy and rogue snorted'-, End the world, take the king's crown or maybe take eclipse down with me."

"Do you guys have any suggestion for me?"

"Uh, Yeah we do." Rogue and Lucy replied in unison.

"Let's just say, OUR idea is more-"

"-Reasonable and close to reality."

"You can't kill acnologia."

"We'll kill you if you try to end the world, but it's not like you can do that anyway."

"and Natsu already took the king's crown."

"Lastly, The eclipse is already down." Rogue and Lucy finished in unison, satisfied with their response, well not all satistied but they get by.
"Look, i'll do this for 3 months. Good enough?" Lucy offered, "I can do this much faster and better than you, seeing your pathetic self right now."

Sting scoffed,"You can't do that, it's too short!" He whined childishly.

"You're actually willing to do this that long?" Rogue asked in disbelief.

Lucy shrugged, "I did the mermaid heel for almost 5 month-Yep long time but worth it with the girls."

"Give us 7." Sting finally said, Lucy widened her eyes surprise and the same goes with Rogue.

"Dude, 7 Months? Are you crazy, that's more than half year!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Yeah, i mean, 5 will do but 7? You can't keep a person for that long." Rogue added.
As much as he always snorts, at least he cares.

is he, or is he just trying to shorten our time together? duh.

"See this Guy, He's right." Lucy pointed to Rogue.

"always be." rogue nodded.

"Look, Blondie. You can give Mermaid heel 5 but i want more than 5, give me 7 and we're done. i'm willing to even pay you!" He threw his arms in the air trying to make it look more dramatic or stupider than it already is.

"Never knew you were that desperate."

"Thanks for finally noticing, Ro."

"No prob,.. Ing?"

"Seriously? Ing?" Lucy rolled her eyes and stared back at Rogue. he grunted in response,
"Not my fault his name sucks. "

He's right.

and Will always be right.
