Soul Ties

Thank You

A/N: very short chapter kinda fillery but still necessary to the plot.

Lucy had a lot to think about. She lay in bed that night with so many thoughts spiralling her mind. The only thing she knew for sure was that she *had* to talk to Sting tomorrow,no matter what. Because although Natsu had finally made his move, she had no garentee that their relationship would change.

Although, she knew she couldn't stay with the blonde. She really likes him and admired him, she would never forget the night he visited and the time they spent together but she just didn't love him. Her heart didn't pound when she was with him, she didn't feel butterflies when he kissed her. She could only feel those things with Natsu.

Obviously she felt guilty for kissing him without Sting knowing whilst they were still together but she didn't have much control over herself and it just kinda happened?

'I love him. I love him. I love Natsu so much.' Her mind kept replaying that evening in her head. After they had kissed, he had taken her out to a bar outside of the guild, and the two shared an extremely sweet and romantic night together. She couldn't stop blushing everytime she thought about it.

'After I talk to Sting, I should talk to him aswell. We've got to decide how our relationship is going to go from now on.' She whispered to herself, planning her schedule for the next day.

"Hey Sting, could you come over..as soon as possible, we should talk." It was the next morning and after hours of back and forth with herself she had finally plucked up the confidence to call him.

Hearing a knock at the door, Lucy too, a second to breathe and opened it, staring up at his disappointed eyes. He knew what was coming, "I know what this is about."
"You do?"
"I think we should too. I still love you but, I know you don't feel that way about me. But you have to promise me one thing." He stated, she smiled gently at his understanding. "Anything, you name it."
"Go get that idiot." She giggled, "will do!"

"But..if he doesn't give you the world, he's not worth it." His eyes widened as he felt her squeeze him tightly around his waist. "Thank you." She whispered.
