Fate's Game[STINGLU FANFIC]

Chapter 3

Levy chattered away with the attendant but Lucy paid them no attention.  She was mesmerized by the flowing silk wrapped around her delicate body.  It was a combination of black and white with soft pink cherry blossoms winding around it.  She felt an odd tug at her memory when she saw the pink but she dismissed it.  She desperately wanted to purchase it but she could only afford to rent it.  She sighed, at least she could wear it for tonight's festival.  A small smile appeared on her face; she had awoken in Sting's arms and she had almost landed a Lucy Kick but he had dodged.

"Lucy, is that one it?" Levy poked her head in the room

"Yeah." Lucy replied breathlessly, excitement was starting to settle in

Sting had spent the morning running in the woods outside Magnolia.  He had always had an abundance of energy and with the date later that day he had more than usual.  Lector was now dozing off on Lucy's bed.  He had flown straight at him, angry that he had been left outside the entire night.

"And you didn't even do anything!  I don't mind it but how could you waste a perfect opportunity—" He had ranted

"Lucy is special, Lector.  I'm sorry for forgetting about you.  I...lost myself yesterday night.  I'm sure Lucy won't mind you staying here too."

"I already knew that.  I just wanted to hear you say it."  Lector cackled, flying around the apartment laughing at Sting

"Lector! This is serious. I asked a girl out for the first time in my life.  To a festival, no less.  DO I WEAR A YUKATA OR DO I NOT? IS SHE WEARING A KIMONO? I DON'T KNOW. I'm so nervous I think I'm going to be sick." Sting groaned

"I know what she's wearing.  I spied on her and her blue-haired friend.  It's sooooo beautifuuuuuuulllll." Lector teased from the ceiling

"Lector!"  Sting jumped up, trying to catch his exceed friend

"This is your punishment!  Bye-Bye!!!!!!!  I'm going to go visit Carla." Lector flew out of the window, laughing

Sting frowned.  Since when did Lector have an interest in Carla?  He would have to ask him later. A young couple dressed in a kimono and yukata walked by Lucy's apartment...

"Oi!"

The couple stopped in their track surprised at the sudden appearance of a blond in front of them.  He grabbed hold of the mousy brown haired girl asking desperately, "Did you want your boyfriend to wear a yukata to go along with your kimono?! Did you naturally expect it or did you ask him to?!"

The startled male companion regained his composure and angrily complained, "Hey! Who are you?! Don't just scare my girlfriend like that!"

The girl gasped, "Kyo...you just...it was...that's the first time you called me...your...your girlfriend!"

Kyo grabbed her and held her close away from the blond, "Well you are and he needs to stay away!"
