Saturday was quick to come.

And there you were, standing next to your father and Loke wearing the same small black dress you wore to the last event. It was a pattern, one you didn't really care for. But maybe tonight will be different. Because you'll have people cheering you on for a change.

Lisanna, Lucy, Natsu and Sting. How you planned on keeping your excitement to a minimum, you weren't sure. But you were feeling extremely excited for a change.

As your father was spouting off nonsense to another business person you didn't know, you kept your eyes glued to that door, waiting for him— or, them. You had already told Loke about what was happening, and asked him to help you execute the plan. He was more than happy too, considering all the times you covered for him and his girlfriend.

He would try his best to keep your father away so you could have some time alone with Sting. Though, it wouldn't matter in the end, because Lisanna was going to ask your father if you could go home with her. In reality, Lucy had backed a bag for you and had given it to Sting, which, at this moment, was probably sitting in his backseat.

"Isn't that right, Y/n?" Your father asked, but you weren't paying attention. Uh oh.

"Uhm—"

"Y/n is talented for sure." Loke answered for you. "She's just very humble about it."

"A good quality to have, young lady. But if you have the talent, it's best to flaunt it."

"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir." You bowed your head to him.

"She's very respectful too, Mr. Heartfilia. Tell me, is she available? I'd like to set her up with one of my sons. It would be good for your business too, of course."

Your father would let out a laugh, but you were extremely uncomfortable. "She is, but I'm already working on an arrangement for her."

"That's too bad. Let me know if the arrangement doesn't work out."

"I will, don't worry."

The arrangement could be worse. Luckily for you, the arrangement he was referring to was with Loke, quite literally someone you trusted completely and wholeheartedly. You were both in the same boat about it too. You were best friends, and getting married to each other was definitely NOT something either of you wanted to do. He has a girlfriend, and now you have a boyfriend. But this arrangement does work in your favor, it always had, because you were each other's cover.

You heard Loke clear his throat, and nudge your arm. You looked at him quickly, and he looked over to the door. When you looked, you saw Lucy, Lisanna, Natsu and Sting walking through the door. You tried your best to remain calm, but you could feel the fireworks going off in your stomach.

"Mr. Heartfilia, Lucy just walked in." Loke told your father. He tried his hardest not to groan, he felt like she would ruin this event.

"Y/n, why don't you and Loke greet your sister and her friends, hm?" He asked, putting on a fake smile. He was terrified that why we're going to ruin it.

"You go, Y/n, I need to show your dad some stuff first." Loke smiled at you, giving you a wink.

Bingo.

"Okay, Loke." You smiled back, and rushed off. Loke didn't hesitate taking your dad by the shoulder and dragging him away somewhere far away from you.

"Heya, Y/n!" Natsu greeted you, his voice carrying through the room.

"Shh, not so loud." You whisper scolded him. "Dad already isn't too happy you guys are here."

"You look great." Sting said suddenly, taking you out of your thoughts and taking your hand in his. You tried so hard not to giggle at his compliment.
