White Heart

Back to Reality

"Back to the point," she demands, " This is essence from a Datura plant, or Angel's Trumpet." I nod, indicating I was listening. "It's poisonous to all reptilian creatures," she explains,"and since you're part dragon, it effects you as well. " She paused and looks down at the bottle in her hands. "In fact it's the most lethal poison against reptiles," she clarifies further, "it's amazing you survived." I gasp at her words.

"That's why you didn't want anyone else besides her guild to visit," Sting analyzes. Grandeeney nods. I gasp again, but this time my hands cover my mouth.

Suddenly there was a loud bang on the door.

"Y/n are you in there?" a disembodied voice asks. I-It sounded like...

"Natsu?" I question. He doesn't answer though, just bursts through the door uninvited. He parades straight through the doorway with a huge grin on his face. Erza, Gray, Happy, and Lucy follow.

"Y/n you'll never believe-" Natsu began but soon stopped when he saw Sting standing next to my bed. "What the hell is he doing here?" Natsu growls. Sting moves into a battle stance, preparing for if Natsu attacks him, which isn't out of character for him at all.

"Relax Natsu," I command, "he's just checking up on me." Natsu shoots me a confused look. 

"But why would he check in on you?" he asks. A tinge of pink stretches across my cheeks, but I hear a growl from Sting. "Seriously, why are you here?" He interrogates further. I glance across the rest of the group. My desperate eyes fall on Lucy, who I think notices my embarrassment. Her face forms a surprised look, but she nods in understanding. She acts quickly. Lucy runs up behind Natsu and bangs him on the top of his head with her fist.

"Back off Flame Brain," she shouts. A wave of relief washes over me. Maybe Natsu will forget about it.

"OW!" he screams, "that hurt Lucy!" He rubbed his cheek but then turns back to me. He looks me dead in the eye and asks"So really, Y/n, why is he here?" Fuck. I guess I was wrong.

"U-Uh Natsu, l-look,"I stutter, trying to come up with an excuse. Sting sighs next to me. 

"This is why," he states. He then leans down, looks me in the eye, and puts his finger underneath my chin. Finally he places his lips on mine, but only slightly. I instinctively deepen the kiss and Sting follows. Damn it, I'm getting weak again.

"She looooooooves him!" Happy annoyingly chimes.  I break the kiss to laugh. Sting seems slightly peeved, but smiles nonetheless. Unfortunately only to be greeted with a right-hook.  Sting's body slams against the side wall.

"Take that you bastard!" Natsu shouts as he rubs his fist, red from the punch. Sting growls as he stands.

"What the hell was that Natsu?!" I scream at him. His face is pale when he turns to me. 

"What do you mean 'what the hell was that'?,"Natsu argues, "he fuckin' kissed you Y/n!"

"Yes, I know Natsu, I was there," I snap back. He huffs as Lucy drags him away.

"We'll talk later, 'kay?" she comments before leaving along with Erza, Gray, and Happy. After they're all gone, I lean over to check on Sting.

"I'm sorry about Natsu," I say, searching for any extensive injuries. He was fine. But as I reach his face again, his eyebrow cocks up.

"See something you like, Love?" he remarks, smirking with his puffy lip. Even then he still looks sexy. I giggle at him.

"You better leave," Grandeeney states blankly,"It's getting late." I almost forgot she was here.
