The Shadow In The Light (Sting X Reader X Natsu)

~Live for Me~

  3RD Person View

   "Or should I say..." Natsu snarled darkly. In his eyes laid anger, displeased, hatred and sadness, "Sha--"

    "Natsu! Itsie! It's today!" A voice cheered The pinkette and the {H/c} haired girl looked to see an over-excited Sting, jumping around like a lunatic. The stern look on Natsu faded into a look of surprise.

   "The day you finally get married and leave this palace?" Natsu asked, annoyed at the interruption.

    "It's the wedding! Onii-chan and Yukino!" Sting smiled, taking no notice of Natsu's words. {Y/n} raised an eyebrow and shifted to the cupboards where she kept the invitation. She opened the golden sheet, revealing the lacy letters of the invitation.

    "Onii-chan? Ok, I never thought I'd live to hear that." {Y/n}  chuckled.

                                                        Dear Honored  Friend,

                  The Royal family are pleased to announce the finalized wedding of Prince Rogue  and Lady Yukino, and they would appreciate if you came to commemorate this joyful memory.

                 Date: 12th July

                 Time: 2:00PM - 6:00PM

     "Oh so, your not wrong..." {Y/n} smiled weakly. Natsu peered over her shoulder, glancing at the date in confusion. Sting also came, pointing at the date with the same goofy grin plastered on his face.

   "I thought it was on the 31st..." Natsu reflected, thoughtfully tapping his chin.

   "No, Onii-chan said he couldn't wait and Lady Yukino agreed, so they made it earlier." Sting explained, "Though it did irritate Lady Mirajane that she had to speed up on the dress-making, and Wendy who volunteered on baking the cake, so now she had to make a triple layer chocolate cake with perfected decorations in one day. And a whole lot of other people."

   "I see." The pinkette responded.

       {Y/n}'s POV

           We all stood there for a moment, as I put away the invitationand sat down on the bed.

       "So um. Don't mean to  be rude, but can you guys go?" I asked, breaking the silence. Sting shrugged and made it for the door but Natsu stayed behind.

        "I still need answers, you know." He growled. I looked downwards, going through notions of excuses and hoping for a miracle to happen ad some random knife to come and stab him.

    Wait...

      That's what I'm here for!

     "Answers for what?" I asked. Natsu held up the book and shifted his gaze to it too. I looked back at him and let out a thin sigh of a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very evry very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very  large amount of fear and annoyance.

    "For everything." He growled, "Shade. " 

     I felt myself stiffen as he said my name, but also because of the sadness in his tone.

  But it hit me. I hit me like a ton of bricks. This is why I never killed them, put poison in their drinks, killed them in their slumber. Because, he showed me.

    He had shown me the reasons of being happy. Being a delinquent isn't what I want, I want to be with everyone here, and carry on smiling.

   But I can't. Not if I'm going to live my life in a dungeon for life or something.

   And even if I do resign from it, I'll never be able to take care of Sybil and me.

    So I may as well get the deaths over and done with.

    "I trusted you, Shade. You crushed trust like any other soul you crumpled up like a piece of paper. I-I-I even loved  you, but you...you wanted to kill me all along. Me and Sting. I bet in your eyes, we were just your worthless victims you like crushing. I-I-I can't even..." Natsu continued. I felt tears prickle my eyes as he spoke, "{Y/n}, now I have no choice but too..."

    "Listen here, Natsu. All that was bullshit. Yes, I'm Shade and {Y/n} and Itsumi. But I only want to be {Y/n}. And who showed me that? You, Sting, Gray and Rogue. You have changed me, you've made me a lot more compassionate person and I want to stay like that. I want to be {Y/n}, Natsu. As long as I can prove that to you--"

   "I-Itsie?" A voice asked. I spun around to see a hurt Sting, leaning against my doorway, "Shade? What?"

   "Y-yes. Sting, I-I'm not Itsumi, it was a lie. A fucking lie I regret." I stammered angrily, "I'm Shade. I'm here to kill you and Natsu"

    "WHAT?!" Sting exclaimed, grabbing the doorway and crushing it to pieces.

   "Shut up, Sting." Natsu snapped bitterly, "I need proof. As if I'm going to blindly trust her again.|"

    "Prove it? Well, will this work?" I asked, putting my well-known knife to my head, "I can die, then Shade will never to be seen again."

     "NO!" Sting roared, running up to me like a madman and yanking the knife away, "I don't care. I want you to live. For me, please. Don't care what Natsu thinks.

   I looked at him, as water flew down my cheeks like rain, like my secrets. I gulped and sniffed, as Natsu and Sting watched blankly, and as I buried my hands. I reflected everything. Killing Jiemma, wanting to kill Natsu and Sting. Killing my own parents. I should be punished for everything. I need to go to my parents to apologise. But I would probably wind up in Hell instead of Heaven, not being able to see them.

   "I'm a delinquint who needs to pay, Sting. I'm like all of the rest." I weeped. The two boys craddled me in a hug, having the same sad expression on their faces.

   "Can't you listen? Live for me, live for us goddamnit. Be {Y/n} {L/n} or Itsumi Nohara. But live, please." Natsu cried. I smiled through the tears, holding the knife behind their backs. The rim pointed at their backs and the point remained less than an inch away from Natsu, first.

    Don't do it, {Y/n} 

    Don't do it, {Y/n}

    My hand went still, as if I lost control over it. It made circular movements, but I still had no clue what was going on. What if...

  

    DUN DUN DUUUNNN! Your going to have to choose between Natsu and Sting soon! See how I said choose? As you will choose at the wedding of Rogue and Yukino, there will be a Sting Ending and a Natsu Ending, therefore that will give you the opportunity to choose! :DD But WILL you choose? Will you kill Natsu and Sting? Find out in the next chapter, but for now...bai minna!
