[FT] Brokenhearted!Reader x Sting Eucliffe Ch3

Here is Chapter 3! And I thank my dear cytez-kaimee for beta reading


"Rogue!" Frosch shouted excitedly and ran to his partner.

Rogue smiled and leaned down so that the small Exceed could jump into his arms. "Have you had a good time with Sting and Lector?" the black-haired mage asked and stroked Frosch's head.

"Fro had a lot of fun!" it said (Since the gender is not specified, but I think Frosch's female!) and cuddled against Rogue’s chest. Rogue smiled and looked around. "And where is Sting?" he asked.

“On the dance floor!" Lector answered for Frosch as he came running to Rogue. The Shadow Dragon Slayer blinked in surprise. "Sting's dancing? What in the world happened to him?"

The two Exceeds chuckled and pointed to the dance floor. "This girl.." Rogue mumbled and then laughed, before shaking his head and looked around for something to eat. Even he was pleasantly surprised by the change of the White Dragon Slayer.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-In the meantime on the dance floor-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Sting pulled you close to his body. One hand gently held your hip, while the other held your hand. Your free hand was on his shoulder. You both looked into each other's eyes, while Sting led you through the hall with elegance..

"Well? Do you still think I would be clumsy?" he asked quietly. You smiled and closed your eyes briefly.

"I never said that you were clumsy. But the question I still have to answer with yes. Have you forgotten that you had previously jostled Gajeel , who has fallen into the cake tower and the whole mess landed on the princess?” you reminded him with a mischief grin.

Sting's nose turned red as he cleared his throat and looked away. "T..That was not my fault. I was distracted." he mumbled barely audible. "Distracted? Because of what?" you asked curiously.

"By your charming [e/c] ... eyes~"

"Oy, I see you've got me replaced pretty quickly.” a cold voice interrupted him. You froze in your tracks and turned to Gray, who danced with Wendy next to you.

"Gray.." you murmured in a slightly hurt voice. Sting growled low and pulled you behind him so that you were protected from Gray’s sight and Sting had his back to the ice mage.

"First, she's not your property, so she can do whatever she want. Secondly, I do not know how is that your business anymore. And third .. " Sting paused because he ran out of arguments.

"Third, we're just friends who enjoy a little party here. Or are you dating Wendy?  you spoke coldly. Gray sighed and Wendy looked to you apologetically.

"I need some fresh air, the icy breath of ignorance is too much for me.” you said and pulled away from Sting before you went to the balcony.

From there you could see the stars and were alone a bit to sort your thoughts. Sting scratched his neck and glared annoyed at Gray.

"What is your problem? Should she just sit in the corner and cry the whole night?”

Gray did not respond to Sting's question and went to get something to drink.

"Man, he's much colder than his magic. " Sting sighed before he dropped back into a chair.

"Oh? What's the big deal with that face? I 've been told that you are running around like a second Natsu version and infect every single person of your good mood and now you are sitting here with a angry pout?“ an amused voice was heard beside Sting.

"Leave me alone, Rogue." Sting sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Rogue smiled and Frosch hopped beside Lector.

"Where is [Name]?" the green Exceed asked.

Lector grinned. "The cake tower is gone. I bet you had thrown [Name] directly into the cakes and she got mad and slapped you and that's why you sulk now."

Rogue laughed softly as Sting muttered incomprehensible things.

"No, Gray had made her uncomfortable again and she went to the balcony. This guy screwed up the beautiful atmosphere." Sting sighed desperately.

Rogue blinked before he put his hand under his chin and pondered briefly.

“Sting ? Have you fallen for her?" he asked simply.

Sting's cheeks turned red as he blushed madly. He stood up and waved frantically with his hands. "No! No, not at all ! It's just totally rude to treat a woman like that, that's all." he muttered and avoided Rogue’s gaze.

Rogue shook his head in amusement and turned towards the balcony.

"It is winter and it's pretty cold. If she is outside for long, she'll catch a cold.” the Shadow Dragon Slayer commented. Sting looked to the balcony and then back to his grinning partner.

“Fuck this shit..." he grumbled before he ran straight to the balcony.

From a distance, he heard two high pitched voices: "Sting likes [Name]~" but he ignored them and entered the balcony that was located at the edge of the ballroom.

Your hands rested on the railing that was already covered with a fine layer of snow. You looked directly into the sky and remained motionless.

"Don't you feel cold?" Sting asked as he joined you and stood by your side. You did not even look at him, before you lowered your head and smiled weakly.

"Not colder than my heart, so it doesn't bother me." you answered him.

Sting sighed before he scratched his neck. He silently watched you preventing himself from saying more inappropriate stuff. Your [s/c] skin was pale from the cold and you already trembled. Nevertheless, you remained outside.

Another sigh escaped Sting’s lips before he took off his blazer.

"Stubbornness doesn't make you immune to the weather." he said in a gentle voice and put his blazer around your shoulders. You looked up at him and snuggled into the warm garment. His scent surrounded your senses and you had to sigh contently.

"Unfortunately, no. But thank you." you said softly. Sting smiled slightly and also looked at the stars.

"You know. Time may not heal all wounds, but it helps you to see things that cover these wounds. Forget Gray, he has no idea what he had and if he says even one bad word about you, I’ll beat him up!"

Sting's words made you blush.

"Sting.. Why do you say all those things?" you asked as you leaned subconsciously against him.

Sting chuckled and put his hand on your head.

"Because they are true." he said before he realized you just put your head on his shoulder with closed eyes. However, you opened them again quickly and pulled away from him.

“I’m sorry..." you muttered sheepishly.

Sting chuckled again and took your hand. "I'll walk you home.”

Since he left no room for discussion, Sting accompanied you to your apartment.

After you arrived at your door , you turned to him.

"I do not know what to say. Thank you for everything today." you smiled and Sting blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head.

"You’re welcome. The evening was really nice. Take care of yourself and stop waste your thoughts for this idiot." he said with a wink and turned to leave.

"Wait! What about your blazer? " you asked and Sting turned back to you.

“Oh.. Keep it. We'll hopefully see each other again soon." With these words, he leaned forward to kiss your forehead and slowly walked along the streets, with his hand raised and waving.

Your cheeks turned red and you watched him until he was gone.

"Sting.." you murmured and hold your hand to your left breast, where your heart was. It was racing. With a smile, you went into your apartment, surprised that in your stomach were butterflies, instead of the usual frustration cramps, you usually suffered when someone broke your heart.
