You & I

Ch.6

-X-

The blonde man was greeted by classical music and people dancing and talking. His hands dug deeply into his pant's pockets. Looking around for a table to sit down. All the tables were taken, except for one. He groaned. 'Oh, such luck!' He thought sarcastically. He walked over to the table that consisted of: Natsu-san, Gajeel-san, and 'her'. He sat down beside her. The only chair that wasn't taken. She glared at him. 

"Yo, Sting! What happened to your cheek?! You look like you got bitched slap!!" The pinkette exclaimed. Sting sighed. Lucy excused herself to the washroom. Once, Lucy was gone; Sting began his 'story'.

"I got hit by a ball." He came up with an excuse.

"A ball?! This late, kids are playing ball?" Gajeel cocked a brow. "You sure it ain't because of bunny-girl?" 

"Why do you call her 'bunny-girl'?" Sting hissed.

"History." Gajeel said. "Oh, wait. How was your little ride with bunny-girl?" 

"Fine. Nothing happened." Sting shrugged.

"Sting," Natsu warned. "We know what happened between you and Luce before. We see her as our sister. So be careful. That's all we can say before we pummel you." Natsu said darkly. Sting shuddered a bit.

"O-Okay..excuse me for a bit." Sting said. Actually, he left to get away from the two men and go talk to Lucy.

He leaned against the wall, which was outside of the woman's washroom. He waited for the blonde. Finally, she came out. She looked at him;he looked at her. The woman's eyes were glassy.'She couldn't have cried.' He thought.

"Can I help you?" She scowled. Sting was about to say something, but two voices cut him off.

"Mommy!!"The two voices exclaimed. Sting looked at the two petite boys. Watching the two embrace the blonde.

'Mommy..?' He thought. The two boys were twins! Same spiky, pale-blonde hair; sharp eyes. They seem like the replicas of Sting! The only difference was that both of them had mesmerizing chocolate eyes.

"Luke. Weiss." Lucy bent down to hug her children. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Auntie Levy brought us here! We really wanted to see you!!" One exclaimed.

"Yeah! We really missed you!" Another exclaimed. After a moment. His eyes drifted off to Sting. "Who's he?"

"Weiss! Don't be rude he's just my friend," She said. Sting almost choked.
"Now, run along. I'm very sure auntie Yukino and uncle Rogue would love to see you two." With that: the two petit boys zoomed off. Leaving Lucy and Sting. She smiled and was about to follow the two kids, but a strong hand grabbed her forearm. Dragging her to the garden at the back. "Sting!" Lucy squirmed.

"Come. We've got a lot to talk about." He said gravely. The garden was huge. A bench and a fairly large fountain at the middle. Lamps illuminated the gardens, while a few fireflies landed on plants or flew around. Creating a wonderful scenery. Lucy sat on the bench, arms crossed. Sting stood in front of her, his hands deeply burrowed into his pant's pockets. "Spill." He scowled. 

"What's there to spill, Mr.Eucliffe?" She hissed. 

"Cut the crap, Lucy. I know that you remember me." Sting growled. "Now, tell me."

"Fine! You got me! I do remember you! But, what is there to tell? It's not like we're friends now, right? You said that yourself." She huffed. 

"Tell me. Who were those two boys?" Sting's patience was lessening by the second.
