(Y/n)=Your name

The master has just nominated the partecipants of the Great Magic Games. Nobody was surprised about his choices, the only unknown was on Yukino, but, surely, if he had made this decision it means that he found her suitable. From a certain point of view I was happy that I hadn't been chosen, in case of failure our master could be violent, and much. But moreover I was happy for my favourite dragonslayer: Rogue. He was always so calm and silent, but also so kind with Frosch. Everytime I saw him I felt that something misteriously fluttered around him. Could that be the paranoia of a girl in love? Maybe also for this I've never had the courage to declare myself: I had a bit fear.

Then, finally, the games started. At the beginning it seemed that Sabertooth would have easly won, as usual. Instead also Fairy Tail started to rise, but nobody could have ever imagined to see the twins dragons defeated, furthermore only from one person. After the battle I immediately went to the infirmary, I wanted to see how Rogue was feeling.

"(Y/n)? What are you doing here?" Asked a surprised Rogue. "How are you?" He looked at me for a moment, then he deflacted his gaze. "It isn't easy to swallow." I sat down next to him. "Anyway it was a great match and I'm sure that you've made your best..." "Enough, (Y/n), if you're here to commiserate me, you can go away." "Rogue I..." "(Y/n), go away!" I stared at him for a moment before running away trying to hide my tears. The only thing I would like to do was stay with him and help him.

After this experience I tried not to go to close to him. I had my heart in my throat while I was looking at him who was fighting against Gajeel, moreover when he drastically changed. What could had happened to him? I really wanted to help him, but I couldn't. I was happy, at the end, to see him return himself. Suddenly I felt a strange presence close to me, it was familiar, but strange. I turned in that direction, but I saw nothing. Could that be only my imagination?

It was a surprise the request of help from the king, a surprise so to speak considering that we were going to be attacked by dragons. Who could be under all this mess? In the general confusion of the events that followed I felt again the same presence I felt during the Games. "Is there someone?" I asked hesitant. "Yes, (Y/n)." He was completly different, he had long white hair and only the lock in front was black, he also had a sort of tatoo on his face. Also his behaviour wasn't the same, but I felt equally that misteriously aura that fluttered around him. I hadn't doubts... "Rogue? Are you really you?" His lips bent in a half smile. "You've recognized me. I'm glad to have found you in time..." In time? For what? I wanted to pose those and other questions, but someone interrupped us. "I'll make you pay for what you've done to her!" It was Natsu, the mage of Fairy Tail and, with fierce rage he threw himself against Rogue. I stayed quiet watching them with a strange feeling. I turned myself for an istant, seeing Sting and Rogue who were coming in our diretion. I was so concentrated that, as I saw the stroke coming in my direction, it was too late to avoid it. It was ended.

Suddenly I saw a mass of white hair in front of me, taking the stroke at my place. "Rogue!" And I lowered myself on him. "Why...?" "You would have died..." I grew paler. "These dragons... All this... It's my work." My eyes grew wide. "No... I..." He lifted a hand on my face caressing my cheeck. I tightened my hand around his. "Have you seen what I've become? I've seen you die under my eyes... Then, a year later, also Frosch has gone and I... I havn't... I've never been the same..." I felt the hand I was grasping vanishing. I looked at him despretly. "The portal has been destroyed... I'm coming back from where I've come." "Rogue, no!" "Don't do that, in the end I'm always next to you. You know... Only after I've lost you I realized how much important you were." I saw tears on his face. "Don't let me become this person, please, (Y/n)..." "I'll promise you." He smiled at me, then he disappeared.

To thank us for the help gave the king invited all of us at the palace. It was my occasion. I intercepted Rogue and I went near him. He turned smiling at me. I stopped, surprised of his reaction. "(Y/n)... I have to ask for forgiveness for..." "I-it doesn't matter..." I answered shy. He came closer taking my hand. "Would you like to dance?" I nodded. And, while we were dancing... "(Y/n)... Are you willing to stay by my side?" I looked at him straight in the eyes. "Yes, Rogue."
