A Helpless Princess's Knight (Rogue x Reader)

No. 9

"Y/n..... I'm so sorry..."

My running stopped at a small garden near the edge of the city. I sat up against the tree, my tears flowing heavily.

"Y/n!" Macao yelled rushing to her side.

Following close after was Bisca, Alzack, Auska, and Romeo.. My family... I cried out staring at the up above. My screeches were loud... I hated being like this in front of Auska and Romeo, but I couldn't hold it all up anymore. Macao reached me before any of the others. He held me in a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart... I didn't want this to happen..." Macao started tearing up.. I guessed it was because he saw how affected I was.. Bisca, Alzack, Auska, and Romeo got there and they sat in a circle with me. Macao and Romeo toward my right side and Bisca and Alzack to my left while Auska sat on my lap.

"It's okay babygirl, cry it out." Bisca said petting my hair.

"I-I... Th-Thank y-you..." I stuttered from my sobbing. Auska enveloped me in a hug.

"You don't have to thank us, we're family, it's what we do." Romeo smiled at me.

"Yeah we all wove wou Y/n!" Auska said making me chuckle.

"I-I have the b-best family i-in th-the whole w-world.." I said.

They sat with me as I sobbed my eyes out. After a while Macao looked up at Alzack and they both nodded.

"Don't worry sweetheart, we'll take care of this come on Alzack, you got an extra shotgun on you?" Macao asked, Alzack handed him the shotgun.

"N-No.. Don't... I-It wasn't h-his f-fault.." I said

"Like hell it wasn't his fault!" Macao yelled.

"H-He was u-upset.. H-He d-didn't want th-them to k-keep t-talking a-about it... I-It wasn't h-his f-fault.." I said defending him.

"Fine. I'll let it slide this time, but next time, I won't need to ask Alzack for the shotgun." He chuckled. They brought me back to the hotel and everyone hugged me.

"We were so worried! But we knew we couldn't leave so we let them take care of it!" Mira said.

"Not even a real man could handle that. But the person who said it wasn't a real man." Elfman said.

"Yeah that was stupid!" Gray yelled.

"I swear I'm gonna kick his ass!" Natsu yelled.

"Are you okay?" Lucy asked me, I nodded. Erza saw this and was in awe.

"Y/n, you are officially the strongest person I know.." Erza said.

"Well that definitely makes me feel better." I said smiling.

"I'm sorry Y/n... I don't expect you to forgive me... But please.. Don't let this make you let your guard down... I know you might not want me around.. And I respect that.. But I don't want you to get hurt."

I stood stiff in shock as I heard that...

"Y/n what's wrong.." Macao asked.

"Rogue just contacted her, she set a spell for them to communicate with each other through their minds." Warren said. "Their conversations have been pretty interesting."

"Warren what the hell man!" I yelled shaking him.

"Y/n..." Macao said.

I looked over to see him staring me down, almost asking what he said.

"He was just apologizing and telling me to stay out of trouble, and that he respected that I need space." I said.

"Well, atleast he is a good man in that department..."Macao said.

"Oh god... The trouble he must be going through at his guild... They're always really hard on their members." I said almost feeling like I was being tormented just saying it.

They all rushed me off to my room, taking shifts making sure I wouldn't get into any kind of trouble. I went to sleep feeling very guilty that night..
