The Muse•{Sting x Reader high school AU}

25

In total, you all played sixteen rounds of Uno, because Orga was a sore loser. Out of those sixteen rounds, you had won eleven. Uno was your game, and you didn't mess around. Everyone seemed impressed, except for Orga, of course. And the two times that he did win, you had let him.

After the game, Sting had ordered some pizzas and took a poll on what movie to watch. Luckily, everyone had agreed on a comedy. Yukino and Minerva decided to sit on the floor, Rogue, Orga and Rufus took up one of the couches, while you and Sting sat on the other couch together. It took a while for you to get comfortable, but once Sting had put his arm around your shoulders, you started to ease up.

A while into the movie and Sting's arm around your shoulder, you had leaned into him, and he held you closer. Then he moved in such a way that he was lying down on the couch, and you were on the inside, almost on top of him. His arm was now wrapped around your waist, and one of your hands rested on his chest. It was comfortable... a tad embarrassing, but comfortable. The others had noticed, but made sure not to make a big deal out of it. Even though they were secretly cheering the both of you on.

Eventually, you had stopped paying attention to the movie and started to pay more attention to Sting. As he was watching the movie, you took the opportunity to study him more. His chin, the scar on his eyebrow, his jaw line... he was so incredibly attractive, it was mind boggling. Who ever created this man had put all of their eggs into one basket. And it had paid off.

Sting felt your eyes on him, and he looked down to meet your eyes with a smile. "Everything okay?" He whispered to you, making sure not to interrupt the other watching the movie.

"Mhm." You hummed with a small nod, but didn't take your eyes off of him.

"Do you like the movie?"

"Mhm."

"You're not watching, are you?"

"Mm-mm." You hummed, shaking your head 'no.' He chuckled lowly, and moved his hand from your waist to the back of your head. Then he started to play with your hair.

"You're so cute."

"Mm-mm." You shook your head again.

"Mhm." He nodded his.

Everything about him at this point had felt magnetic. Oh, how you could kiss him, how you wanted to. And he had felt the same, he wanted to kiss you too. But instead, you wrapped your arms around his neck, and buried your face into his chest. He was just as happy, and placed both of his arms around your body, his hands resting on your lower back. He would run his hands up and down slowly, just to keep his hands busy. You didn't mind it, it felt nice. He would then move on of his hands to the back of your head, and run his fingers through your hair.

Then there was a knock at the door, signaling that the pizza had arrived. Sting groaned, because he was too comfortable and didn't want to get up. Luckily, Rogue was kinda enough to grab Sting's wallet and get the pizzas himself, which Sting was grateful for. When Rogue had come back after a few minutes, he placed the boxes on the coffee table, and everyone started to grab slices. That's the only time Sting had moved from his spot, and the same for you.

You all talked and laughed over the movie while you ate, and none of you caught the last bit of the movie. Sting put in another movie for background noise, and yet again, no one had paid attention. Everyone was just eating and talking. And surprisingly, no one had mentioned your little cuddle moment with Sting. You were grateful for that, because you knew you'd be embarrassed by it. Maybe they knew that too.

"So, Y/n, how'd you get into art? You're amazing, so you must have been doing it for a long time, right?" Yukino asked as she ate her pizza.

"Yeah, a very long time." You giggled a bit, thinking about it. "When Lucy and I were younger, our parents said that we had to pick up a hobby and get really good at it. Lucy liked writing at the time, but I was a bit too young to understand what was going on, so my dad picked piano for me."
