Three Words

Chapter 2

“Sting, Rogue how can we help you?” Mira walks up to the dragon slayers and offers them a smile. Everyone stops what they’re doing and stares at them in confusion.

“Aww man Natsu’s not here!” Sting sniffs the air and frowns.

“Sorry, but Natsu left with Gajeel a couple of days ago.” Mirajane explains. I notice Rogue’s posture slightly slump. I guess he really wanted to fight Gajeel or something.

“Then we’ll just wait for them here.” The blonde declares and looks around. He notices our table and grins before dragging Rogue towards us.

“He’s so fucking hot.” Cana slurs a bit. I roll my eyes at her. When she’s drunk suddenly every guy is ‘hot’.

“You’re talking about me right?” Sting gives her a seductive look, which makes me look away. Okay I admit it, he’s hot-no he’s sexy.

“Ew. Take this somewhere else please.” I scrunch up my face and notice Levy giggling at them, while Lissanna blushes. The doors to the guild open once again and reveal Gray. Of course Juvia leaves us and pounces him immediately. Lissanna chuckles before getting up.

“See you tonight Levy, Lucy.” She waves and leaves the hall.

The dragon duo sits across from us at our table and Sting continues to flirt with Cana. Rogue looks bored and lays his head on his arms. “So Lucy where were you for the past three days?” Levy asks, trying to ignore the conversation with the drunk and light dragon slayer.

“I told you: I was tired.” I shrug.

She raises a brow, “You expect me to believe that you slept for three days.”

“Oh trust me I think she did. When I got there she was passed out on the kitchen floor.” Cana interrupts, which causes Sting to pay attention to it.

“Did you get drunk or something?” Levy questions and her eyes light up, “Did you have a party? Did you lose your V card?!”

I furrow my brows, “I don’t drink Levy-chan and if I had a party you’d be the first I’d invite. Lastly please reframe from asking that question again.” I lecture her.

“Have you ever seen Lucy’s underwear drawer? You’d never guess that she’s still a virgin.” Cana smirks and I blush.

“Cana!” I yell and cover her mouth, but she licks it and I remove it and wipe the spit on her pants. I notice Sting smirking at me in amusement and I feel my face getting redder.

“Lu-chan! That’s the first thing you have to show me when I sleep over.” The quirky blue haired girl orders.

“Why?” I give her a strange look.

“Who wouldn’t want to see what the marvelous Lucy has in her lingerie drawer?” Sting winks.

“It’s not lingerie!” I yell and the whole guild turns and looks at us and I bang my head onto the table.

“Lucy you bought more lingerie?” Gray walks over and sits next to Rogue.

“I never had any to begin with.” I mutter.

“Then that means we have to go buy you some!” Levy pipes up. This whole time I thought she was innocent.

“I need more beer.” Cana stands up and goes to the bar.

“Hey why are you two even here?” Gray looks at the dragon slayers with curiosity.

“We’re gonna win a fight with Gajeel and Natsu.” Sting says cockily.

“What makes you so sure of that? I’m pretty sure you got your asses kicked with just Natsu fighting you at the game.” Gray responds cheekily.

“We’ve been training.” Rogue surprisingly says, yet his head still lies on his arms.

“Where the fuck are your clothes!” Sting yells and Gray looks down to see that he is indeed naked, of course he starts searching for them like crazy. I guess I got use to him stripping randomly and didn’t notice.

 I give Levy a small smile and a wav bye before I depart from the guild. Instead of going home, I walk towards a clearing I found not too long ago. I arrive in twenty minutes and take a look around.

In the center, there’s a tree stump, which I use as a chair. The trees around it are a beautiful orange color with red tips. A little bit beyond this there’s a stream that runs east. I walk over to the stump and sit with my legs crossed. My eyelids flutter closed and I take a deep breathe.

Weak

The same voice from three days ago rings through my head. Memories of the countless of times Natsu saved me from some life threatening situations floats among my mind.

Pathetic

I feel my fist ball up and my nails enter my palms. “No. Stop.” I say as calm as I can, but my mind fills with how many times I have cried since I joined Fairy Tail.

Powerless

I feel myself choke on the air in my lungs. It takes a minute to calm my breathing down. Deep breaths. Deep breaths. I chant to myself repeatedly. Tears fall from my eyes yet again. What’s wrong with me? Why am I suddenly feeling this way? What am I without my spirits to aid me? I’m just a normal person. No. I need to stop the thoughts! I’m still pretty strong without them right?

I blink my eyes open and see that the sun was setting. I take that as my cue to start walking home. I summon Plue to accompany me.

“Hi Plue.” I let out a small smile at the dog spirit thing.

“Pun pun.” He greets. We start walking back and after ten minute of silence I speak.

“Oh Kami! Plue what am I going to do? I keep having these bad thoughts, but I’m afraid that these thoughts might be true.” I admit.

“Pun.” I can hear sadness in his voice. I let out an annoyed groan.

“These thoughts came out of nowhere!” I run my right hand through my hair. “I never felt like this before they came. What’s going on?”

“Pun Pun!” Plue motions for me to stop and I comply. He then waddles in front of me and starts to dance.

“You’re just too cute!” I pick him up and snuggle him in my chest. I look up and see that I’m at my house. Plue goes back to the spirit world and I open the front door. I soon regret accepting the sleep over.
