You & I

Ch. 28

"This is the last part, alright?!" Ryan declared. It was late, and there were several retakes needed since Minerva kept on going on edge--while Sting had suddenly refused to have the kissing scenes with Minerva. Ryan rubbed he bridge of his nose. "They suddenly changed their minds. . . ah." He sighed.

"Pardon me, Ryan," the yellow-haired man turned around and smiled.

"Oh, yes, Miss Lucy?"

"We still have a few days before premiere, why don't we continue this tomorrow? Everybody's tired. You as well. Plus, maybe we can discuss the scenes tomorrow before we start filming?"

Ryan put a finger on his chin, then smiled, a weary one. "I guess so. Thanks, Miss Lucy. I'll tell everyone." He said, then off to grab his megaphone. "Listen everyone! It's late! We'll continue this tomorrow! Got it!?"

"Yes!" Everyone shouted as they started to pack, grateful that it was finally time to go home.

"Hey, Lucy, you want a lift home?" Hibiki asked.

"Oh! Hibiki! About that, I--"

"Sorry, bro," an arm suddenly was wrapped around your neck. "Blondie's coming with me." Lucy saw from the corner of her eye that it was Sting. Proudly smirking.

"I'm talking to Lucy, dumbass. Learn some manners," Hibiki glared at Sting, then looked at you softly. "As you were saying, Lucy?"

"Ah, yes!" You said nervously. You were afraid that Hibiki would say something to Sting or about you going with Sting. "I'm going with Sting, actually."

Sting snickered and stuck his tongue out.

"Is there something going between you two?" Hibiki crossed his arms.

"No." You said before Sting could say anything. He seemed startled at your answer. "There's nothing going on between us." You said seriously. Hibiki just stared at you for a moment then just shook it off.

"I'll see you tomorrow then, Lucy. Sting," after smiling nicely to Lucy, he glared at the blond man. "Take care, Lucy." He did his mannerisms then left.

"Come on. Let's get going." Sting unwrapped his arm and just started getting his things. "Just wait for me in the car."

Lucy started typing on her phone, awfully focused on her screen.

Gray: The boys are asleep right now

Oh, I see. Is it okay if I just pick them up tomorrow?

Gray: Yeah, of course!

Great. Thanks, Gray. Anyways, gtg. Goodnight!

Lucy put her phone back, as Sting came into view. "You set?" She asked him as he got into the car, he just nodded.

"Are. . . you okay?" Lucy inquired, Sting nodded. His eyes just focused on the road ahead of him. For the whole ride, Sting stayed quiet, either shaking his head or nodding from the questions Lucy would ask him.

As Lucy was taking a shower, Sting was in the kitchen, taking a sip of water. He wasn't in a very good mood, which was already obvious to Lucy.

"Mm." Sting hummed, feeling Lucy embrace him from behind.

"What happened?" Lucy said, resting her head on his back.

"Nothing." He said nonchalantly.

"Eucliffe. . . tell me would you." She pressed on.

"Am I nothing to you?" He just said, no emotion in his voice. The blonde hugged him tighter.

"I knew you were angry because of that. . .you're something to me, you're my world, you're something special to me--"

"Then why'd you say that?"

"As an actor; I expected you to know this," Lucy smiled gently. "I don't want anyone to know about this yet. . . I mean, they could find out about our kids and there would be articles about illegitimate children; affairs; and I'm hoping she won't--but Minerva could add more if we were to be found out."

"I'm so sorry, Lucy. I wish I didn't leave you back then." Sting gripped onto Lucy's hand.

"Geez, Sting. Don't say anything. . . we're together right now, that's all that matters, right?"

Sting turned around and Lucy giggled, seeing that he was teary eyed. She held his cheek gingerly. He hugged her and stayed like that for a few minutes. Lucy feeling his warm breath against the crook of her neck, her hand running through his hair.

"I love you so much. Thank you, Lucy." He pulled her tighter into a hug.

"You're still always so childish, Sting-ray. . ." She said as she kissed him on the head. "O-Oi!" Lucy squirmed, as she saw Sting picking her up.

Sting darted up the stairs with Lucy still in his hands. "S-Sting!" She shouted, feeling like she would fall off. She tightened her leg's grip around his torso. "Ah!" Lucy shouted, when Sting jumped onto the bed, with her still in his arms.

With Lucy's back facing Sting. He just wrapped his legs around her and nuzzled into her back, embracing her tightly. He didn't say anything.

And for the rest of the night, they stayed like that. In silence, feeling each other's warmth.
