7 DAYS LATER

The sun slanted in through my open window, pretty much blinding me. I rubbed the tiredness out of my eyes, sitting up and looking at the time. "It's already noon?! Well I guess I should feed the boys then." Oddly it was very quiet this morning, I couldn't tell if they were awake and letting me sleep in, or if they were asleep too. My question was answered as soon as I turned the corner. Sting was sitting on the couch reading one of my books that I left on the table.

"Oh hello Luce." Sting smiled at me.

"Good morning Sting." I smiled back, "want anything to eat?"

"Uhhh, I don't know a fruit salad?" Sting shrugged.

"Okay, thanks for the easy meal," I smirked walking to the smallest kitchen you would ever see. I quickly chopped up some mangoes, strawberries and other fruit. I tossed them in with the lettuce and braught it out to Sting.

"Thanks Blondie!" Sting smiled ruffling my hair.

"Hey! Stop that." I grinned softly punching his stomach. He quickly stopped ruffling my hair and sat down beginning to eat his salad. I wondered what that was all about since Sting doesn't usually stop when I tell him too. "Sting what's wrong?" I said crossing my arms.

"N-nothing!" Sting muttered, filling his mouth with more of the salad.

"Okay..." I pouted sitting down beside him. Sting just rolled his eyes and continued eating.

"Not gonna happen," Sting commented finishing his food and putting his dishes away.

"Fine..." I sighed twirling my hair. "So...  I forgot to ask you did anything interesting happen after I fell asleep on Christmas?" I pondered.

"Uh nothing much Hibiki left after you were asleep and the guys and I watched TV for a while." Sting replied resting his arm on my shoulder. I curled into him and smiled. His breathing slowed to a calm and soothing pace staying in tune with my breathing. Realizing what this could lead to I jumped up abruptly and walked away blushing.

"S-sorry, I just remembered I have to meet Levy a-and the others!" I stammered running out the door, and to the girl's dorm. I leaned on the outside wall of their dorm and slid down clutching my knee's. The tears started to stream down my face. I can't deal with this right now! I yelled in my head. I have Hibiki... I mouthed and leaned my head back letting the tears fall down to the ground.

I reached into my pocket searching for my phone. "Shit!" I growled when I realized that I left it on my dresser.

Sting's Pov

I swept my hand through my hair restlessly and began pacing around the living room. How are the other's still asleep? Should I run after her? I grabbed my coat and walked out the door instantly shoving my hands in the pockets. The air was brisk and smelt of freshly fallen snow. I wish that I could just tell her what Hibiki was doing, but she'd think I was lying. I pivoted on my heel and turned towards the largest boys dorm. I wasn't going to let this continue any longer. I knocked softly on the double doors that blocked my path. There was no answer so I knocked harder and the door swung open to reveal Bickslow's face.

"Oh hi Sting? A little early isn't it?" Bickslow rubbed his eyes.

"Hi is Hibiki here?" I pondered walking in.

"Oh yeah, just up there..." Bickslow trailed off, as I walked up the stairs. I turned into a room that had a Fairytail poster hanging on the wall. I instantly knew that it was Hibiki's room. Shoving the door open to reveal Hibiki sitting on the edge of his bed clamping his fists together and rocking back and forth.
