Crescendo [Sting Eucliffe]

Best + Bitter = Better

The white dragon of Sabertooth awoke a few hours later to a completely empty guild hall. He looked around, and his nose twitched when his eyes landed on the guild's hot springs. The boy's tense muscles grew lax as an intoxicating scent wafted into the guild, 'what is that smell? It's like a pina colada but it's kind of salty. Whose drink smells that strong anyways?'

He found himself unconsciously following the smell to the springs, feeling more and more excited with each step he took, 'Mate? Maybe it's her!' his feet sped up at the idea of finding the one he belonged with, 'I have to meet her! I can't loose her scent!'

After kicking the the door open, the slayer frantically disrobed himself while he ran into the different rooms of the springs, looking for his mate. He was sure she was there, she had to be. She was excruciatingly close, and the fact that his mate wasn't in his arms was killing him. The boy had lost all self control as he ran around - butt naked - looking for her.

Sting eventually found himself in a room with a petite blonde girl. Her back was to him as she swam (or rather skinny dipped) without a care in the world. The white dragon could barely contain himself as he giddily dove into the water and swam towards her tiny figure. Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her back towards his front as the girl confusedly sniffed the air. Her body had been tense when she was first 'attacked', but she relaxed when she realized who was holding her.

"Mine?" she heard his voice crack as he worried about the possibility of her rejecting him. The idea scared him to death. Chuckling, Aika replied, "Yours."

"So you're a siren slayer?" Sting asked as he massaged shampoo into his mate's hair. He decided to get to know his mate, who seemed like the easiest person to open up to. The slayer refused to lose physical contact with his female counterpart, so she sat on his lap while his fingers sorted through her wet locks.

"Yup," Aika smiled softly as sting internally squealed, 'kawaii!'

The two soon finished with the spring, and decided to dry off (or Sting dried himself off and threw a pair of shorts on before helping his mate out the water and drying her off himself.) He slipped a fluffy robe over his mate's tiny shoulders and kissed her forehead with a hint of a blush on his cheeks, "By the way, where do you live?"

"Jiemma offered me a room here at the guil-"

"No!" Sting panicked, his mate was potentially in danger if she slept there, "What if the guild is attacked? Or Jiemma is angry and wants to take it out on somebody!"

He looked down at his mate with the best puppy dog eyes he could pull as tears welled up in his eyes, "Please come live with Rogue and I! You're safer with us and I'll feel so much better. You can meet our exceeds and share a room with me!" He blushed after his last statement, "We have a guest room too, if you'd like to sleep there instead."

Aika looked up at the male in front of her and kissed his cheek before muttering, "Of course, Sting, no problem. As long as I don't become a burden I'll stay."
