It Doesn't Matter || Sting Eucliffe Love Story (Book 1)

~ Chapter 25: Frosch Is Missing? ~

"Are you two ok?" Akiko asks, watching the two dragon slayers face turn blue.

Lector said "Ah, don't worry about them, Akiko. This always happens."

"If you say so. I don't even know why I'm asking since I know you two suffer from motion sickness," she muttered. "Just like a certain pyro. Come here Sting," she patted a spot next to her.

Sting moved over to her, covering his mouth to stop himself from puking. She placed his head onto her lap, before he could question her she had started combing his hair with her fingers. He relaxed, comfortable and completely forgetting about his sickness. Rogue muttered "Lucky... Bastard," he began to feel pukey again.

Akiko said to Yukino "Calm and help, Rogue, Yukino."

"Me? But--"

"No buts about it," she said.

Yukino blushes as she finds Rogue on her lap, shyly combing her fingers through his hair. Akiko chuckles at them, while Shiro hisses "You're so cheeky sometimes, Akiko."

"What's that suppose to mean, Shiro?" She queried.

"You know what I mean."

"Whatever."

Akiko's eyes widen at what she saw. "Woah, this place is huge," she said in awe.

"I know right?" Sting said, with a proud smile on his face.

The black-haired female and her snake partner began exploring the Sabertooth Guild hall with Rufus and Orga accompanying her. Sting would've but he had some Guild master duties to attend to.

A little later on, she and Shiro got their guild mark. She was officially a member of Sabertooth now, along with Shiro.

---

Sting looked at the members of Sabertooth with serious eyes, sitting on the guildmaster's seat. "Our guild's aim is to stun the heavens, arouse the land beneath us, silence the raging seas. That, is the Sabertooth way," he said. "Hear me? Take it off."

Akiko's brow twitched, she muttered "Yeah yeah."

She took off her clothes, revealing the swimsuit she wore underneath, he smirked. Everyone else stripped down to their swimsuits as well.

Sting said cheerfully "Everyone in the water 'cause we got ourselves a pool!"

"Yeah!"

The black-haired female sat in the water, half of her head in the water while the rest just kinda poked out. Shiro swam freely around, scaring the life out of everyone by pulling them into the water with his tail.

"Sting!" She snapped as Sting splashed her with water.

"Come on!" He said, happily, splashing away at Akiko. "We actually have a pool in a guild hall!"

Akiko huffed, before beginning to splash Sting back. Orga muttered "We are the only guild with a pool, right?"

Rufus replied "I don't remember anyone else talking about one."

Sting was splashing away again, Akiko couldn't help think he was a bit cute and childish the way he was. So much so she decided not to ruin the moment by telling him that Fairy Tail has a pool as well.

They stopped as they heard someone yell "Hey Sting!"

Rogue, Sting and Akiko looked over to see Lector. "Listen Sting--I mean Master!"
