To the Moon and Back?{Sting x Reader}

"Rogue, can we talk to you for a moment?" Rufus and Orga approached the Twin Dragon Slayers in the hallway of their hotel.

"Sure, what is it?" Rogue stopped, Sting also stopping with him.

"Sting, we need to speak with Rogue in private, if you don't mind." Rufus told Sting. Sting nodded and walked away with Lector, Frosch staying right beside Rogue.

"So? What is it?" Rogue asked, crossing his arms.

"Was there someone special in Sting's past?" Rufus asked in a quiet voice. Rogue looked at him strangely.

"I don't know what you mean."

"For Earthland's sake, did Sting have a childhood friend that had h/c hair? And a little cat like his?" Orga blurted out.

"What has Sting told you?" Rogue raised an eyebrow.

"He hasn't told us anything." Rufus assured him.

"So then how do you know that?"

"Know what?" Orga smirked a bit, for whatever reason.

"About Y/n? That is what you guys are talking about, right..? You must have overheard a conversation between him and I."

"No. We overheard no conversation." Orga told him.

"But we do believe we know her whereabouts." Rufus said flatly.

Rogue took a minute to think before letting out a sigh. "He was sure she was here the other day. I doubted it, of course. I thought that maybe he was just stressed so his mind was playing tricks on him. I guess that isn't the case. That is, if you really think you ran into her."

"The necklace she wore is very similar to Sting's earring, if not the same." Orga recalled. "Same shape, color, everything. But just as a necklace."

"What did she look like?"

"H/L, H/C hair, E/C eyes. Had a cat right beside her."

"What was the name of the cat? Did they say?"

"Lune?"

"Luna." Rufus corrected Orga, exaggerating the 'ah' at the end.

"It certainly sounds like them. I'd have to check it out for myself."

"Are you going to tell Sting?"

"No. I don't think I will. We need to win the games, we need the team at everyone's best. I fear that if he knows she's alive and well... it'll be the only thing on his mind."

"I think that's a good choice. Who knows what Master will do if we lose." Orga crossed his arms.

"I do." Another voice came from down the hall, the Queen of Sabertooth, Minerva, now joining in. "And I can guarantee that you all will be served in a silver platter. What is it you all are talking about?"

"It's nothing." Rogue shrugged it off. "We're just talking about the games."

"Do you not think we're going to win?" Minerva raised an eyebrow.

"No. I'm saying that we all need to be at our best the next two days." Rogue answered her.

"Right." She smirked a bit, almost as if she was looking through him. "Well, if that's the case, don't stay up too long. Like you and Sting has said earlier, you have a feeling you will be going against Nastu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox."

"Yes." Rogue just nodded simply, as Minerva started to walk away to her own room.

"Whatever the case is, it'll have to wait until after the games." Orga said, uncrossing his arms and walking into the direction of his room. Rufus watched as he left, waiting to speak until he had walked into his room.

"I think it is her." Rufus said to Rogue quietly. "But only Luna remembers Sting and Lector."

"What do you mean?"

"Luna found me and asked me to help them. Y/n, if it truly is her, has no memory whatsoever of Sting and Lector. Only Luna remembers them. And even then, she thinks there's a possibility of them being dead."

"That... just makes it more complicated." Rogue sighed. "For the longest time, Sting thought there was a possibility of them also being dead."

"So we have two choices, really. Have them go on thinking that the other is dead, or we tell them and risk our win."

"For Sting's sake, it's better if we wait until after the games."

"Are we sure about that?"

Rogue was quiet for a moment, running a shortened version of all the scenarios in his head. Even if Rogue did tell Sting that you were alive, the outcome could go one of three ways; Sting remains unchanged, Sting ups his game in the Grand Magic Games to show off for you, or he gets distracted. Whatever the case may be, there was about a thirty-three percent chance that he would get distracted. But also a thirty-three percent chance that he would perform better.

"No. I'm not sure."

"You're his best friend, I figured you would know."

"But I don't. The odds don't seem good either way. I say wait until the last day of the games."

"Whatever you say."

"Besides, if he knew that she didn't remember him, I know it would break his heart."

"Does he like her?"

"He loved her."

"I don't know if I can condone this, Rogue. I think you should tell him. If he loved her, he should know."

"I know, and I agree. But realistically, if we were to lose the games, we can't even guarantee that he'd live to even see her. It's better to win the games and then tell him."

"If you think that's the right thing, then I'll keep my mouth closed about what I know." Rufus said with a small smile. He meant that, he would keep his mouth shut about everything. Even about you being in Fairy Tail.

"You know more than that?" Rogue raised an eyebrow, but Rufus held a finger to his lips, before walking away from him.

Rogue hated whatever he had just gotten involved in.

"Lunes, are you okay?" You asked her to break the awkward silence of walking back to the hotel.

"I'll be fine. I'm just worried about you."

"You shouldn't be worried. I'm fine, really."

"But you can't remember important things. You're very forgetful. Things that were said five minutes ago you can't remember."

"Maybe I just don't remember the unimportant things." You shrugged. "What's important to you may not be important to me."

"But Sting and Lector were important to you."

"Were, Luna." You sighed. "You, Fairy Tail, Lunafreya, and Warrod is what's important to me."

"Y/n, you don't understand. You liked Sting, dare I say you loved him."

"I don't remember any of that."

"But you should, and that's the point I'm getting at. You don't even remember what happened in Bosco!"

"Bosco? What happened in Bosco?"

"Ugh!"
