[Fairy Tail] Sting Eucliffe x Reader

Comfort

While you sat alone, a certain blond White Dragon was searching for Natsu. „Hey Natsu-san, let's drink together!“, Sting sang in joyful anticipation  as he approached someone. This someone turned around from the feast and Sting stopped in his tracks. It was Gajeel.

„Stop yelling. Salamander isn't here.“, Gajeel grunted nonchalant before he continued to eat. Stings smile turned into a disappoint frown. „What? I thought we could drink a toast to our friendship.“, he sulked a bit.

Gajeel turned around again, fully ignoring Sting. As he put some food in his mouth, he felt a hand on his shoulder. „Then let's have a drink instead! Come on, Gajeel-san!“, Sting grinned.


Gajeel grimaced and sighed. „You are disrespectful, you know that?“, Gajeel growled, but accepted to drink something with him.

Sting continued with this and searched for almost every new friend he made during the last battle. His comrades noticed his vigorous changes in his behavior. Rufus stood by Orga and smiled. „He actually seems cheerful.“, Orga spoke.

„I have no memory of Sting being like this.“, Rufus nodded, still smiling.

After Sting got what he wanted from everyone, he still looked around. Even it was now his third orangejuice bottle, he still hadn't enough. „Sting-kun, I believe to drank with everyone here.“, Lector said. He and Frosch were with him most of the time.

„Boring and I still didn't found Natsu yet.“, Sting sighed. But then his gaze fell on you. „Isn't that...“, he whispered and jogged to you with a huge grin.

Your gaze was still on your lap and so you didn't noticed a presence before you, until you felt a glass being pushed against your cheek.

A bit startled you looked up and blinked. Sting smiled cutely and looked into your [e/c] orbs. „Do you want to touch glasses with me?“, he asked kindly. You remained silent for a moment. Rather you would prefer being alone right now.

„I am not thirsty.“, you murmured, still fighting back any new tears. Sting frowned slightly, but then he saw your tearstrained face. „Y..You alright?“, he asked and took a seat beside you.

„Haven't you gotten anything from the good food?“, Lector asked, while Frosch cuddled against your stomach. You smiled weakly and put your hands around the two exeeds. „Yeah, it's pretty hard to fight off all the dragonslayers from the food.“, you said, tried to play with him.

But it seems that Sting bought your story, because he stood up. „I'll fight for your food! What do you like to have?“, he asked with a wide smile. You blinked, before you chuckled a bit. „No, no, that was only a joke. Sit down please.“, you smiled.

Sting tilted his head after he sat back again. „Lovesickness?“, he suddenly asked. A cold shiver ran down your spine as you looked at him. „So.. it's noticeable?“, you asked and Sting nodded. He placed the bottle and his glass onto the ground and leaned back in his chair. „Yukino had enough women magazines placed everywhere in the guild a while ago. Besides.. Everyone can see that you have a broken heart. Wanna talk about?“, he offered.

You just sat there for a moment, completely speechless from his kindness. You didn't even know each other very good and most of the time you knew him as cocky and arrogant bastard. It was amazing, how he changed, but somehow he was pretty adorable right now.

„Well, today a relationship came to an end. I believed this relationship would last forever, but.. I was totally wrong.“, you said as you pointed at Gray who was talking to Wendy. Sting followed with his gaze your motion and scratched his neck. „The ice-make mage was your boyfriend? Man, how stupid can someone be, to let go of such a beautiful girl.“, he said quiet, but you still heard him.

His sentence caused you to blush and you looked to the side. „Y..You don't have to make fun of me, that's not funny.“, you whispered.

A moment of silence came over both of you, before you felt a gentle hand on your shoulder. You turned to look at his smiling face. „I was serious. He has to be crazy.“, Sting nodded. „Fro thinks so soo!“, Frosch exclaimed happily while hugging your form. You smiled and pattet Frosch's head. „That's sweet, thank you.“, you smiled.

Sting lowered his arm and took again his glass. „How does it look like now? Are you going to drink with me?“, he grinned lightly. You chuckled and closed your eyes. „Alright. Let's drink a toast to a single life!“, you said and took the other glass.

He poured the juice in your glass first and afterwards in this, before you touched glasses and drank. You were grateful, that Sting and the Exeeds were here to comfort you. They had success and you felt a bit better now.

While you drank remained a comfortable silence, until you placed the empty glass to the ground again. „Hey, [Name]-chan?“ You turned to him, as he stood up and bent slightly before you. „Do you want to dance with me?“, he smiled softly at you and stretched out his hand.

You lost yourself for a moment in his soft gaze. „A..Ano..“, you stuttered out. Lector jumped from your lap and landed on Stings shoulder. „Don't do this! Sting-kun is a horrible dancer! He's gonna tread on your foot every now and then! Besides he is as clumsy as walrus on glazed frost!“, Lector explained laughing.

Sting sulked cutely and looked with a slight blush away. „That's not true!“, he mumbled.

You simply stood up and remained silent, before you burst out into laughter, You even had to place your hand before your mouth to muffle the laughter. „Finally you laugh! Fro is happy!“, Frosch cheered and hugged your leg. „Indeed. And may I say, that a smile looks much more beautiful on you than a sad face.“, Sting winked at you.

You smiled and took his hand. „Then let's see if you really are clumsy.“, you chuckled and Sting grinned wide, before he led you to the dancefloor.

Maybe the day wasn't so bad as you thought~
