Long time, no see, ey?

Enjoy!

"What. The actual. Hell," Natsu mumbled underneath his breath, inching closer and closer towards the two blonds, but finally exploded by throwing a punch into Sting's face once he was close enough. "No one kisses my girlfriend except for me!" Sting collapsed onto the ground, not expecting the sudden action.

"Sting!" Lucy cried out, rushing towards the injured teen. "Are you okay?!" Only receiving a groan as a response, she turned to Natsu with fire in her eyes. "It was an accident, Natsu! He was just-"

"He was just what, Lucy? Huh?" Natsu came face-to-face with her with only inches between their faces.

"He was in an emotional state, alright?! We…We knew each other as kids, and we…liked each other…"

A laugh of anger escaped the salmon-haired boy, as he backed away slowly. "Oh, well isn't this just great?" he said, throwing his hands in the air. Sting was slowly sitting up, rubbing his cheek. "You're in love with a famous singer. Huh, that explains a lot."

"Look, man," Sting joined in. "It was my fault. Don't blame Lucy."

"Pttf, I don't blame her. I'm just...UGH!" He threaded his fingers through his thick, spiky hair. "Luce, why didn't you tell me this before?!"

"Because you were so busy talking about your life that you didn't even bother to ask me about mine, you ass!" Lucy spat out, exhaling heavily and calming herself down. "I think…I think we should break up, Natsu. It'd be-"

"Uh-huh, it'd be 'the best'?" Natsu interrupted, finishing her sentence, but his response only led to the silence between the three of them. "I'm done."

It felt like a millisecond as Natsu exited the room, leaving the two blonds alone. Lucy's heart almost shattered - she hated the thought of Natsu holding a grudge against her.

"Lucy, I'm-" Sting began in an effort to comfort her, but she immediately rushed out of the room, about to burst into tears.

I'm. So. Sorry.
