[FT] Brokenhearted!Reader x Sting Eucliffe Ch4

Since the Grand Ball a few weeks have passed. In this time you thought about the things that happened and it happened quite a lot. Fortunately, only positives.

For once there is the relationship with Gray that had improved again during the time. You two had a long conversation and you can now look back into his eyes open and smiling and vice versa. But except for a deep friendship both of you feel nothing romantic for each other anymore.

But still, nobody in the guild could explain why you were still behaving like a schoolgirl in love. You left more often alone for guild missions and when you entered the building you sang softly to yourself and almost blurted with high spirits. Everyone simply realized this.

Of course you made a secret of the fact that you spent most of the time with Sting and Rogue, in which you co-sponsored each other with missions and the rest of the time you made vacation together ​​in the Akane Resort or other recreational places.

Even if the Sabertooth guild and Fairy Tail were now allies, Makarov and Natsu don’t like to see one of their family members spent more time with a foreign guild, as with the own. Even if they probably understand, when they would know the reason and you would be honest with your feelings.

Because you had fallen in love with Sabertooth 's guildmaster, Sting Eucliffe. Since that fateful evening you often found yourself in his company very often. You two laughed a lot, doing all sort of activities all together and a hug or a kiss on the cheek here and there were absolutely no rarity.

You thought for a long time, whether you should change guilds or not. Of course Fairy Tail still was the most important to you and Lucy and the others were indispensable friends for you. But you couldn’t help that your inner longing called every second for a certain White Dragon Slayer.

One day you gathered all your courage and demanded an audience with Makarov. The older gentleman was sitting cross-legged on a table and drank a large glass of beer. Slightly tipsy and with reddish cheeks he waved to you and pointed to the seat in front of him. "What's bothering you, my child?" He asked. Based on your face he could tell you came to him with a serious matter.

"Master. With your permission I would like to leave the guild.” you said and Makarov placed the beer glass beside him before he looked at you with wide eyes.

" ..You want to abandon Fairy Tail?" He asked incredulously.

You looked up and clasped your hands together in a pleading manner. "Don't take this the wrong way. I love Fairy Tail more than everything. You are my family and always will be. But.. but my heart .. It .."

Makarov extended his arm and held his finger on your lips, putting his index and middle finger over them. A warm smile graced his face.

"I know. Your heart longs for someone to whom you still cherish greater feelings. And let me guess. Sting Eucliffe, Guild Master of Sabertooth."

Your eyes widened in shock by his words. "H..How do you know?" You asked, trying not to stutter.

Makarov laughed and winked. "I'm not a Guild Master for nothing, am I? Moreover Happy had spied on you. The whole entire time."

...

"WHAT?" Your cheeks turned red and you looked at the door, which stood open, and your best friends were listening. "HAPPY!" you shouted, embarrassed.

The little blue Exceed grinned deviously, before he fled to Natsu's head. "I only did what Natsu has commanded." he defended himself.

"Hey, don’t push anything on me!  " Natsu grumbled and you blinked before Mirajane approached you to remove the guild symbol.

A sad smile was reflected on her lips. "We’re going to miss you, [Name]-chan " She said. You smiled and put your arms around her.

"We’re not seeing each other for the last time. This guild is a part of me and I will visit you very often." You reassured the former S-class mage.

"I hope so, otherwise I’ll drag you myself back over my shoulder!" Natsu grinned and you laughed softly. Fairy Tail was really something special.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Short time skip -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

As you made ​​your way outside, just after  you left the Guildhall, you heard a familiar voice call after you. "[Name]! Wait." It was Gray.

You turned questioningly to your ex-boyfriend. He approached you and scratched his neck. "I wanted to .. apologize again. I wasn’t very fair to you and you have suffered from my mood swings." He said.

"Gray, I thought we’d clarified the past. I'm not angry anymore." You said and put a hand on his shoulder.

Gray looked at you and smiled slightly. "You look pretty happy ever since you started visiting him. He seems to make you feel pretty good." His words made your cheeks hot and you cleared your throat, trying not to blush.

"Oh well.." you said softly and looked away. Then you felt Gray take your hand from his shoulder and removing his cross necklace.

"Gray, what-" you began, but Gray had already put his necklace around your neck.

"So that you won’t forget us in your new guild. I know with him you are in good hands and that calms me. But still you should have something that reminds you of us." He said with a wink.

"But Gray..I can’t accept this. This necklace is your most prized treasure." You whispered.

Gray shook his head. "You were my most prized treasure. And I wouldn’t trust this necklace with anyone but you. So good luck and if I can give you some advice.." Gray began and pinched you gently on your forehead.

"Don’t be shy like with me. Be honest with him." You chuckled at his words and remembered that you had to live several months with your uncertainty, before you two eventually became a couple.

"Sure thing, thank you for everything. And take care of yourself and my family." With these words and a last long embrace, you started your journey to Sabertooth.

When you arrived at the guild, you hesitated. You took a deep breath, then you opened the gates, and all eyes fell on you.

"[Name]-chan!" Frosch shouted excitedly and jumped from Rogue's shoulder. She ran to you and you wasted no time to bend to your knees and let the little Exceed crush with your chest.

Although you were in love with Sting, Rogue and Frosch were very close friends of you and Frosch loved you almost as much as she loved Rogue and you loved her. Rogue smiled and stood up.

"This is a surprise. This is the first time that you come visit us in the guild." He said.

"I didn’t come just to visit." you said smiling.

Rogue tilted his head slightly as you smiled and moved your shirt to show him the empty skin where your guild symbol was supposed to be. Since it was your left breast (Because you wanted the symbol be where your heart was to show your deepest feelings for Fairy Tail), Rogue cleared his throat and looked away blushing.

"Y..You’ve left Fairy Tail?" He asked a bit embarrassed.

"Hai! And I want to join Sabertooth, if that's okay." You replied, somewhat unsure and looked at Frosch, who had just fallen asleep in your arms

" ‘If that's okay’? Sting will go ballistics with joy." Orga laughed, who was sitting with Rufus at the bar.

Rufus smiled and looked up. "The memories are clear, since you spend so much time together. Welcome to Sabertooth."

"Haha, thank you,” you laughed, “but that is the decision of the Guild Master. Where’s Sting?" You laid Frosch gently in Rogue’s arms.

"In his office. He refuses to do the paperwork, and because the work accumulates naturally, we've got him locked up for 3 hours." said Rogue.

You held your hand over your mouth to you muffle your laughter as to not wake Frosch. This was so much like Sting.

"Poor Sting." You chuckled.

Rogue smiled and turned to the stairs. "I'll take you to him."

You followed the Shadow Dragon Slayer up the stairs. In front of a red door he stopped and looked for something in his pockets.

"Wow, I had expected that the door has been destroyed and Sting fled." You mused and Rogue laughed a little.

"We also thought about that. So Orga has placed an electrical barrier around the door. Even Sting doesn't dare to go past his barrier." Rogue explained.

"And how are we supposed to get past the door, when the barrier is there?" you asked as you tilted your head to the side.

Rogue grinned and pulled a Lacrima from his armor. "With this.” He said simply, holding the crystal at the door. It absorbed the electricity and the door opened.

"Sting, do you have a moment?" Rogue asked as he entered the room. But what greeted you was an empty office and numerous documents that were scattered on the ground. Behind the desk was an open window; the drafts had inflicted the mess.

"Damn.." Rogue mumbled and you laughed out again. Sting was often the cause of your laughter and he made you feel incredibly good and happy.

Rogue ran to the window and looked out, even though he doubted he saw Sting there. But he was mistaken ...

The guild master of Sabertooth lay comfortably on a bathing island within the large pool that belonged to the guild. His feet hung casually into the water. He was wearing sunglasses and seemed to be asleep.

"Tell me that is just a joke.." Rogue said frustrated and facepalmed. You could not stop you from laughing. It took minutes until you calmed down and then left the building through the back entrance that led to the garden and pool.

Apparently Sting was sleeping, because he didn’t greet you as you walked to the pool edge. You crossed your arms and thought about how you could get his attention. then you got an idea.

You found Lector and whispered something in his ear. The red Exceed grinned and spread his wings as he was flew over with a bucket filled with ice cubes towards the sleeping Sting.

"Haha!" Lector called out and tipped the bucket just above his partner. The cold cubes prompted Sting a scared jump and by the sudden movement he fell from the bathing island directly into the water.

He drove up , his sunglasses already somewhere at the bottom of the pool and he looked up at Lector. "Oi, what was that for?" He grumbled sleepily. Lector grinned and pointed to the side.

"You have a visitor!"

Sting looked at you and a broad smile graced his lips. "[NICKNAME]-CHAN!" You laughed and waved at him as he was already jumped out of the pool and pulled you into a bonecrushing hug.

Because he was so soaking wet, your clothes got drenched. “Sting.. can’t breathe..." You gasped out and Sting grinned, letting go of you.

"What a nice surprise! What brings you in our guild?" He asked excitedly.

"Uhm..I would like to join Sabertooth." You said.

Sting literally beamed and tackled you again and the both of you fell into the pool. "That's great! Hey, then you are always here!" Sting laughed joyfully and you smiled as you hugged Sting tightly while you were floating in the pool.

"Yes, I am."

This is how your life as Sabertooth mage began.
