Celestial Wolf-Slayer [Fairy Tail FF]

Ch. 16: Almost Confession

[Sting's PoV]

"I love you"

I opened my eyes and realized I was leaning my back on something so I roamed my eyes around the room.

I'm still in Crocus Clinic, Rm. 777. And Lucy's still sleeping soundly.

Wait, I was just dreaming?!

Tsk. Damn it!

"S-Sting..." I grabbed her hand and squeezed it lightly as if saying 'It's okay'.

Wait a sec...

"They were there and they look so happy... without me.." as much as I wanted to tell her the scene earlier, I couldn't.

This is my dream!!

"After they beat me up that day, they left to party.."

"It's all about the curse.."

Wendy's voice echoed in my head just like it happened in my dream. It was the last thing she said before she completely left earlier.

My dream is happening in real life!

"They've hurt me... Natsu, the man I loved, hurt me."

I felt a pang on my chest upon hearing her words.

So she really loved Natsu-san?

"You're not gonna leave me too, are you? You're not gonna hurt me, right?"

"No... ofcoarse not..." I love you so much so how can I fcking leave you?

"S-Sting.."

I looked at her and urged her to continue.

"I.."

"I-I'm so sorry for ignoring you.. I just don't know what to do. I had to.."

"Lucy.. whatever you did before has nothing to do now. You don't need to apologize."

She sat up from the bed and I wasn't shocked when she suddenly hugged me. It happened in my dream.

Wait, after the hug she...

"I'm really sorry, Sting."

Ugh. Damn it!

"I can't afford to lose such a great friend like you."

...

2 weeks later...

"You and Rufus have been hanging out together lately. What's going on with you two?" I heared Yukino said as she is talking to Lucy.

I didn't mean to listen to their conversation, but this topic is something I've been wanting to know.

"We're together."

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!" Both Yukino and I yelled. But thankfully they didn't heared me 'cause even Orga and Kanade outburst.

"Y-Y-You two are w-what?"

I'm nervous of the answer.

I can't believe their... together? How come? Why? When?

"Yeah. Since Last week."

Ouch. It seems like my heart is slowly getting crushed.

I can't take this.

"AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO TELL US?! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS?! WHAT'S OUR FRIENDSHIP FOR NOW, HUH?!" Yukino yelled before marching out the guild. I just remained at my seat. Holding my tears and trying to keep a straight face.
