Starlight's pov

I woke up to a slight stinging pain in my stomach that I didn't remember having before. I placed my hand over my stomach to locate where the pain was coming from when my hand brushed against something. I furrowed my studded brows, placing my hand on what I had touched. This resulted in something moving behind me. I quickly sat up, falling onto the floor in surprise. When I saw myself, I could see that I was no longer in my usual hoodie and trousers. Instead I was in a pair of leggings and a shirt that was a little small in length but was extremely baggy on me everywhere else. Movement coming from where I'd fallen from alerted me. I looked up to see a small green faced cat in a pink and black frog onesie. It took me a couple of minutes but I recognized it as the cat that belonged to the black haired guy. I couldn't remember his name though. The cat rubbed its eyes sleepily before grinning wide.
"Rogue's friend is awake" It cheered, jumping up and down happily.
"What?" I asked. Then I remembered. I had gone to get more pills and I got stabbed. Everything after that was fuzzy. Someone on the bed sat up, rubbing their eyes with a groan. I quickly covered my head even though I knew it wouldn't hide me but it might protect me, even just a little.
"Starlight?" they asked. I could hear them approaching. I bit my lip in anticipation. This wasn't my first time waking up in some random person's house and surely won't be my last. They knelled in  front of me and placed a hand on one arm, pushing it down gently. I looked at them. It was definitely that guy that I had snapped at yesterday when Gajeel showed up.
"Everything alright? You seem agitated" he asked. I bit my lip, aggressively pulling and stretching the sleeves of the top I was wearing. Thank the gods for it being a long sleeve. I nodded quickly.
"Are you sure? From what I'd gathered you usually snap back an answer" he objected. I scanned the room, finding my hoodie neatly folded on the back of a chair. I stumbled over to it and reached into the pocket, pulling out the plastic bag and my flask.
"Hey. I think its a bit early for drinking" he objected. I ignored him, unscrewing the lid of my flask while using my teeth to open the plastic bag. I took out a couple pills and shoved them in my mouth before downing them with the alcohol that I had in my flask. It didn't take long for the effects to kick in.
"And why would you care shadow freak" I snapped, closing the lid of my flask. He sighed.
"So your behavior is because you're drunk. I guess that makes sense" he mumbled to himself.
"I have one question that I want a straight answer to. Did we sleep together?" I asked. He got really flustered and started waving his hands
"Fro says yes" the little frog cat piped in. I glared at him. He shook his hands more.
"Frosch has things a little confused. He thinks you mean normal sleeping. That was all that happened. Nothing else. I promise" he quickly defended, his face redder.
"Then why am I here? This is clearly not my room" I grumbled.
"I brought you back here because you were injured and the Sabertooth inn was closer. You passed out not long after we got here" he explained.
"At least I didn't have to deal with Gajeel's stupid lectures about being 'irresponsible'" I mocked his tone at the end.
"I get the feeling that the two of you don't get along" he stated.
"Get along? Gajeel's a fucking asshole. I ain't listening to what he says" I snap, crossing my arms.
"I would appreciate if you stayed here for the day. You can order room service if you get hungry or something, just tell them to put it on my bill but don't leave the room. If someone in the guild sees you then my master will be pissed" he explained.
"So you want me to stay here?" I ask with annoyance.
"Its just encase that guy comes after you again. Nothing personal. I swear" I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever. Better than being locked up in the fairy tail inn where Gajeel, Phoenix and Lily won't even let me order something without their clearance" I grumble.
"Well, I need to get ready. I've got the games today. You do whatever you want" he explained. I flopped onto the bed and mindlessly flicked through the channels on the lacrima vision, the small cat curling up on my lap.
