Oops. While i was typing the title, i nearly put sexond. Anyways....sexond? Is that a word?

Anyways, so yes! They finally....well Sting finally confessed to Lucy and it took him 10 chapters! But still! XD i am so stupid...you guys know that.

Chapter 11: Sting's second chance

LUCY'S POV

"I've loved you ever since i've met you."

The world stopped for me. His eyes looked at me; he wasn't lying. He really likes me! Part of me was happy because....i kinda....well i think i like him. Well i do.

The other part...i was not quite sure. Like, it had this weird vibe. But hey, he likes me.....maybe i should too.

"Ummm....." i first started. He placed a finger over my mouth to silence me. The feck?

"I wasn't done." He said. Okay Mr.Boss what else is there for me to obey?

"You know you're very beautiful, and smart. Gosh i have told you before. Lucy, you may hate me or detest me...although they're the same thing but back to my point, i don't care what you say. I said i love you, and now you belong to me." He said.

Is it me, or was that speech intended to come out boss but due to his idiocy it was funny? And hey, romance doesn't roll like that!

His eyes glanced at me for an answer. I wanted to say i loved him too. I think i did. Mira even made sure herself.

"S....Sting, i---"

"LUUUUUUCCCCEEEEEEEEEE DON'T YOU DAREEE!"

Sting, out of shock, leaped onto me for protection. Like, what was i supposed to do? Be an angel and save this demon? Natsu stormed out of nowhere with flames lighting his tongue.

"What do you want?!" Exclaimed Sting angrily.

"What do you mean? Lucy you are not supposed to agree to his stupid love because you are supposed to be freaked out!" He scolded. I raised an eyebrow.

"Natsu..... you're scolding me?" I asked.

"Oops, sorry. But you know what i mean!" He replied. Sting stepped in front of me pushing Natsu away.

"Lucy doesn't have to listen to you. You blew your flame along time ago!" Retorted Sting. I stepped back. Obviously, standing between two dragon slayers ready to fight was not a good idea.

But wait....this sounds weird. I mean, Natsu is a fire dragon slayer yet Sting is telling him that he blew his flame a long time ago? #SoConfused

I was so into my own thoughts that when Natsu's whole head was on fire it got my attention.

"She never said she loved you!" he exclaimed.

Maybe. Just maybe. If i say i like Sting, then they will stop fighting....it is worth a try, and besides, i don't like it when my friends fight.

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

"Ummm! I really do return Sting's feelings!" i busted in. Their faces dropped and turned like robots towards me. I was feeling slightly uncomfortable with their expressions.

"What did you say?" asked Natsu.

"Yes, did you say you like me?" asked Sting.

"Y...Yes?"

"MWUAHAHAHAHA I TOLD YOU SO!"

"SHUT IT!"

I felt a familiar presence nearby. A terrible, negative one yet also good at the same time. Mira emerged from god knows where and held Natsu by the collar. She looked between Sting and I, before smiling.

"Natsu, you're in their way, yes? Come on." she said, waving us and dragging Natsu away. She was successful  in doing so. Sting sighed heavily and turned towards me. I turned my head away, duh, i was nervous!

"Did you mean what you said?" he asked,

"Yeah...." i replied sheepishly. He smirked.

"Good. Does that mean i can now do this?"

"What do you----"

My lips were sealed tightly as Sting pressed his lips against mine. His hand held my hand. I squirmed under his hold, but he was too strong. I had no choice but to accept his kiss.

He finally pulled away gasping for air. My god. His eyed met mine and he smirked.

"I finally have you for my own." He said triumphantly.

"Possessive much?" I mumbled.

"Nope, it just proves how much i love you." He said, caressing my cheek.

It was not very awkward on the way back home. The only difference was because Sting was making more perverted remarks than usual. He said he was trying to be more romantic. I rolled my eyes. This, kids, is Sting's definition of being romantic.

We entered my apartment. It had already gotten dark now. Sting went straight to the kitchen. A few seconds later, i heard the sound of pots and pans clattering as i took off my shoes.

"What did you do this time?!" I called from where i was. Sting's head poked around the corner.

"Well...uh...i may be a good cook but....I make a terrible mess all the time." He said as he sweat dropped. I laughed. Of course he must have a flaw. I walked into the kitchen.

"Oh dear..."i sighed.

"I only wanted a drink, i swear!" He excused. I laughed softly. I began to put things where i found them. Sting stood near the door, all the while looking at me. When i was done, i wiped to sweat off my forehead and glanced at him.

"I didn't mean to be a nuisance." he said softly, looking down. Is he a tsundere or what?! He changes attitudes waaay to quickly! Aww and he looks adorable too.

"Sting...."

"Really, i am sorry." he apologized. I got up from my crouching position and ruffled his hair.

"You're not a nuisance. What made you think that?" i asked him. For a brief moment, i was getting the impression that he was not talking about the pots and pans. He was talking about something i don't know.

"I am! Look at reality, Lucy! I...if it weren't for me, you would be so happy and sweet now." he said, tears stinging his eyes. I gulped. I was confused.

"What on earth are you talking about?"

"If it weren't for me, you would have a better boyfriend that never left you and came back." he said. He ignored my question from before! Ugh, i have no idea what he is saying!

"Hey!"

"I am just an extra piece, aren't i? I make you mad and sad....all the time." he said. His eyes flickered pain and sadness. I didn't know where they came from, honestly. But he looks like he is saying the truth, the truth about something i have no idea about.

Before he ignored all my statements and anything else, i clamped his mouth shut with my hand.

"Shut up before i hit you!" i said, "Ah, that wasn't meant to be so harsh."

I removed my hands and thankfully, he didn't say a word.

"Sting, what are you saying? I don't have a clue. And whether i do or not, you are wrong. You don't tell yourself these things, have confidence." I explained. His eyes lowered to the ground.

"I'm sorry....." he said.

"Good boy. Now, do you forgive me for being so harsh?" i asked. It's as if Sting just switched places with someone else because his mouth curled into a smirk and his eyes gleamed with mischieveousness.

"I have to punish you, don't i?" he asked.

"Woah there, just back up." i said, beginning to take a few steps back. Instead, he came forward until i was backed against a wall. His laughter boomed in my entire house and i resisted the urge to say something mean.

"You're strange, you know?" he said, kissing my nose, "I am going to take a shower. And before you say anything else, i bought clothes for myself. I can always go and get my other clothes some other time."

He skipped away into the bathroom leaving me alone.

STING'S POV

The next day, my nose picked up a delicious smell coming from the kitchen. I got up like a zombie from The Walking Dead and made my way to the kitchen, arms outstretched.

When i entered, i found Lucy's back facing me as she fixed something on a plate. She had a t-shirt and an underwear with her apron on.

I snaked my arms around her waist and hugged her from behind. I kissed her neck. She laughed and gave me a piece of what i think was waffles in my mouth.

It was so heavenly.

"Am i supposed to cook like this for you all the time?" she asked.

"Are you implying that we should get married?" i teased.

"Now how the hell did i imply that?!" she exclaimed, before laughing. After breakfast, which was extremely good and better than Rogue's, Lucy and i trailed to the guild. We thought about how the others would react to our relationship.

I thought differently than Lucy. She thinks they would be surprised that she is dating a Sabertooth member, while i know for sure they will be shocked about the fact that i got back with her despite her not knowing the truth.

Oh the world hates me.....

This is the part where all my fans go 'NOOO Sting-kun we love you!'

.....Did you say it yet?

"WHAT?!!" exclaimed the entire gang. Lucy jumped at their sudden outburst and panicked, while i stood there picking my nose. What's the big deal?

"What?" asked Lucy.

"Lucy....can you, umm...please allow us some time to speak with Sting?" asked Erza, an irritated tone in her voice. Lucy smiled before nodding and skipping happily away.

"Does she know the truth?! If you move on now, where is the truth coming in?!" scolded Mira, as she glomped beside me. I sweat dropped. Wasn't she the one who technically encouraged me yesterday to go on with Lucy?!

"You pulled Natsu away and allowed Lucy to tell me she loved me yesterday!" i accused.

"That's different. Sting, you need to tell her. It is very important!" urged Gray, shaking my shoulders vigorously.

"It's not that crucial! What happened in the past doesn't matter now." i retorted.

"So all those fun times you had with her before will just vanish...? Only you would remember them and not her?" asked Erza. I stayed silent. I knew she was right, but i couldn't say that. I mean...i know telling Lucy is important but i just can't!

Besides, isn't it too late already?

LUCY'S POV

"You guys are together?!" exclaimed Levy. I nodded my head excitedly. She had a 'I told you so' look. As Gajeel passed by, i saw her attention focus on him and i smirked. She teased me with Sting, it's my turn now.

"Gajeel!" i called. He turned around.

"Bunny girl?" he asked.

"Levy needs to do some research on irons and metals and i was wondering if you'd be able to help her?" i asked. He looked at Levy. Levy grabbed my arm.

"I don't think there's a problem with that. Shrimp, come on!" he said.

"LUCY!" she seethed, before she was dragged away. I winked at her before giving her a 'payback' smile. Now i was completely alone. Bored out of my mind. I looked at Nab who was scanning the request board.

I haven't done a job with my team in quite a while! I think i should take one. I grabbed one that looked suitable for us all. Obviously they would want some fight in it so as i had walked up to the board, i prayed that there was one about catching thieves. Luck was with me!

"Hey guys!" i exclaimed.

"Lucy-san? A job?" asked Wendy, as i showed them the paper.

"Oh, this looks exciting!" said Erza.

"I'm all fired up!"

"Shut it you dumbass."

"Sting, do you want to come?" i asked. He snapped out of whatever he was thinking of and smiled. He shook his head and i pouted.

"I'm sorry babe, but i have to check out the guild." he said, sighing.

"It's not babe, it's Lucy."

"Oh, sorry Blondie."
