"Why aren't I in the group chat!" Lucy yells, drying her blonde locks. Currently she is on a three way call with Wendy, Levy, and Ezra after finishing a shower.

"Well you and [Name] aren't really friends-"

"Then what about Glamour Girls!" She shouts, referring to a group chat with all the girls in it. She could hear one of the three sigh as Natsu walks into the room.

"You don't like her so it'd be awkward. Plus she won't really confess if you-"

"Lucy don't worry about it." Ezra cuts off Wendy and Natsu raised an eyebrow once he hears what they are talking about. "Juvia is handling it, she'll give us the info by tonight."

Natsu walked over and picked up the phone, hanging up the call. Lucy froze with her mouth agape as he walks back into their bedroom, dropping the pink phone on the burgundy embroider blanket. He flopped on the bed and sighed as she placed down her towel, climbing on top of him. "Why did you do that?" She pouted as he focused his attention to her bare chest rather than her face.

"Just leave her alone." He fiddled with the flesh before sighing, "I know who is it."

Lucy's brown eyes widen as she hits his chest with an excited smile. "Tell me!"

"Hello again."

The day had been a bit more chilly than the last, the boy had worn a white shirt, jean jacket, with black joggers. The girl on the other hand was wearing a black long sleeve with ripped jeans. "Hey Sting!" She adjusted her [Hair Color] hair as they wait in line for movie tickets.

"Two tickets for The Sound of Music." He asserted, raising two fingers at the lady who stared back in awe.

"Y-you're-"

He nods as worker shakily hands him the tickets, he offers his arm to his date. In response she accepts and links arms before they both walk inside. In [Name]'s head she realizes how he is more muscular and toned than he first appeared to be. "Do I even want to know?" She asks as the pair both wait in a line for popcorn and movie snacks.

He lets out a chuckle and runs a hand through his soft spiky blonde hair, a thin diagonal scar by his eye. "You really don't know who I am?"

The line moves up and she shakes her head, "Sting Eucliffe, Yukino's-"

He winces a bit, "please don't mention her."

She apologizes as she picks out a snack or two. He pays for everything as people gawk and stare. The looks causes her to grip onto him tighter, she's not used to eyes being on her. Once they entered the theater and found the perfect seat she opened the box of [Favorite Candy]. "So who are you?"

He snorted, "I'm hurt." He places a hand on his chest which she frowns at, apologizing once again. He only shakes his head and sits back in his chair. "I'm a running back for the Fiore Falcons."

"Oh!" She slightly laughed at her stupidity. "I actually don't watch football a lot so I don't know much about it."

He shrugs and grabs a piece of candy from the box in her hands. "It's not for everyone." His arm moves behind her chair and she shuffled closer as the room lights dimmed.

It was flashback week at the movies, which explains why a movie like Sound Of Music is in theaters. Sting made sure to pick something she'd enjoy and one that wouldn't make him lose his reputation. In one of the last rows where [Name] couldn't see sat Gray and Juvia watching them.

"Juvia thinks he's way to close!" The blue haired female grumbled, grabbing some popcorn and tossing it in her mouth. Gray squeezed her shoulder and laughs lightly.

"I knew it was Sting." He pulls out his dark blue phone to send a quick text to his friends.

Gray

Ezra

JUVIA YOU OWE ME 5 BUCKS AHA

Lucy

Wendy has changed the group chat to [Name]'s been stung

Natsu

Wendy
^_^

[Name] takes her phone from the ripped jeans she is wearing due to the constant buzzing. She sees the last 5 notifications and growls, putting it away quickly to focus on her date.

"Do you like music?" Sting asks, digging into his clear cup of rum raisin ice cream.

"Who doesn't?" She chuckles, watching him take another bite. "Plus if I didn't why bother taking me to that movie?" She raises an eyebrow, the movie had the word music in the title.

He only shakes his head with an amused grin, eating more of his ice cream. She fake gags and he lets out a confused laugh, "what?"

"How can you eat that?" She takes a large bite of her [Favorite Ice Cream Flavor].

His dark blue eyes glint in amusement, pushing a tuft of hair from his forehead. "Have you even tried some?" He lifts the red plastic spoon and raises it closer to the female. "Try it."

She scrunches her nose in disgust. "No way." She raises the sleeves of Sting's jean jacket, eating the final bite of the frozen treat. Although she finished before him she couldn't help it, after all it's the best flavor known to man.

"Your lost." He winked, shifting back into a comfortable position.

"Damn he's hot." Lucy gawks in between Gray and Juvia.

The only male snickers, licking the blue cotton candy ice cream. "Careful, you have a boyfriend."

She rolled her eyes, "I'm just saying he's hot." She took the first bite of the waffle cone. "She's lucky is all."

Juvia eyes her carefully, Lucy is just as lucky to have Natsu. Did Natsu even know she was here to help spy?

"It's getting late." Sting sighed, checking his cellphone. "I better take you home."

She frowns and stands from the steel chair. "Aw, I was just having fun."

He wraps an arm around her, "Well there's a carnival next week." He opens the car door for [Name] and she slides in.

"You're literally always being stared at, you sure you want to be seen with me?"

He slows the car to a stop at the red traffic light. "Of course, you're beautiful and quirky."

She blushes and rolls her eyes, "yeah right." Before he could interrupt she spoke again, "how's Friday?"

After parking the car he turned to her. A exciting smile graced his features as [Name] took notice of the dangly crystal earring on his left ear. "How's seven?"

She smirked, glancing at his lips for a minute. "It's a date."

Giving him a small kiss on the cheek she left the car immediately afterwards, skipping into her household. Once to herself she squealed and hopped around.

"Success!"
