Third Person Pov

"Because..I like her"

Blink.

Blink.

Blink.

( a/n : Black pink in ur areaaaa! Char -3- )

"What did you say?" the shadow dragon slayer mumbled but clear enough for the couple of blonde to hear. The light dragon slayers face turned red resembling that of a tomato as he let go of the blonde's wrist.

"I said.." Sting mumbled, declaring it to the celestial mage once more. "I like you, Lucy-san!"

E-eh?

What did he just said?

The celestial mage thought. She was shocked knowing that behind the clinginess and flirtiness Sting showered her, he really did harbored feelings for her.

The small confession made her heart skip a beat. It was her first confession after all- setting aside Dan Straight's L-O-V-E for her- and it came from a handsome guy like Sting who deeply resembled her childish salmon haired crush before.

Feeling the brunette's hand letting go of her own followed by a tongue click, Rogue hissed. "What the hell?"

Unintentionally, both Lucy and Sting could not help but felt shivers crawling up in their spine on the menacing tone laced on his voice.

Sting eventually kept his posture and spoke up. "Y-you got a problem with that?"

Holy shit, what the hell is wrong with him? Is he on his period or something?

"I definitely would not allow it" Rogue spoke as he faced them as he pointed a finger at his twin. "Especially if it's you, asshole"

A-asshole?

"That's not for you to decide, dumbass!" Sting shot back, walking towards Rogue and swatted his hand away. "Lucy-san gets to decide things like that"

Then, both of them looked at the blonde.

Sapphire blue eyes that gleamed hope shoned back at her while striking crimson eyes told her to shut up and never answer the honest confession.

"U-um.."

Both of them leaned at her.

"I appreciate the thought but..."

Upon hearing the few words she spoke, Lucy instantly regretted it as the light dragon slayer's face started to show sadness.

"U-um.."

Think, think! Without hurting Yuki-chan's feelings nor Sting!

"Y-you see..I promised my Mother and Father not to date anyone until I turn eighteen.."

Forgive me Mama, Papa! (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

"O-oh, is that so?" Sting chuckled lightly, recovering from the fact that he thought he would be rejected because she likes someone else.

"But Lucy-san, adding the seven years you were stuck on the tenrou island aren't you actually 24?" the light dragon slayer laughed innocently as Rogue looked unbelievably at him.

"Y-you idiot--"

"Thinking about it, aren't you pretty old?"

Oh crap.

Rogue facepalmed as Lucy stepped back, face full of terror. "S-sting you meanieee!" she screeched, bursting out of the room.

"W-wait Lucy-san! It was a jokeeee!"

"Airhead."

Lucy's Pov

It has been four days since Sting made his confession and pointing out how old am I then laughing about it. Both of them went on a mission together after receiving a word from the King of Fiore themselves.

"A mission?" the blonde questionably said, watching the two munch on their food. Well, Rogue was munching while Sting was ravaging the food infront of him.

"Yes" Rogue spoke up putting down his chopsticks on top of his rice bowl. "Apparently it was requested by the King Fiore himself and requires the twin dragon slayers without any companions"

The blonde pouted.

Ever since joining Sabertooth the two of them would accompany her or they would tag her along on their mission but it seems like this one was going to be an exemption.

"How long would it possibly take?" Lucy asked.

"Maybe a week or so" Sting spoke after he swallowed the food in his mouth. "We were not really sure though, we have not heard what the request is all about"

Then, he snickered.

"Aww, is blondie gonna be lonely without us?"

She smacked him away.

"I-idiot!"

"Don't worry Lucy-san we will finish it as soon as we can" Rogue smiled lightly, placing a hand on top of her head. "Until then take care of yourself okay?"

Her face turned red.

"I-I am not a l-little kid! Idiotttt!"

"I am super bored" I declared to myself, rolling in the bed until my head aches out of diziness.

Ah, apparently Sting and Rogue asked me to stay in their place in their absence. I have cleaned Sting's room which is super, super filthy unlike his twin's room.

Those two are really polar sides aren't they?

I guess Rogue was the one taking over their house chores with every corner of their place shining shimmering as heck with exclusion of Sting's room, of course.

Thinking of nothing to do, I stood up and decided to take a bath but before I can set my foot in the frame of the bathroom door, a loud crash came from the living room.

W-what was that?

I grabbed hold of my keys, getting ready to fight this trespasser who made a freakingly loud entrance.

Instead, what I saw were Frosch and Lector, their wings disappearing into thin air, their magic pasting it's limits.

"F-f-fairy-sannn!" the Frosch cried out, bursting into tears. He and Lector were full of gnashes all over their tiny bodies, their clothes almost torn out.

"Please help us, Lucy-san!" Lector said, his eyes on verge of tears. "The twin dragon slayers need you!"
