Lastly this first fic is dedicated to FizzyBubbleGum13 for being fantastic and without whom I would not have had the courage to post this.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail
Lucy POV
Lucystared up at the guild and was overrun by sudden memories of her first day at Fairy Tail, with all the hope and promise that day had given her. She recalled Natsu fighting with everyone, Gray asking for her underwear and Loki hitting on her and she laughed to herself. At least she still had her "ladies man" lion spirit.
"C'mon, Lucy, this is gonna be so COOL!" Lucy was pulled from her reverie by Jason, her new boss. Fairy Tail had disbanded months ago and she had gotten a job with Sorcerer Weekly because, hey, she had to eat too right? Her current job? She was to conduct exclusive interviews with the heaviest hitters of Sabertooth while Jason took pictures for their spreads in the magazine. There was a reason the guild was being featured but Lucy could not for the life of her remember the reason for it because the doors had opened, they were being greeted by the Twin Dragons and sweet Mavis did they look good. Sting's delicious abs were on display as always but what really caught her attention was the darker slayer. Rogue Cheney had his wild black hair tied back in a ponytail and Lucy thought the scar across his nose was utterly adorable, though she would never have the nerve to tell him so. He was shirtless and covered in sweat, a light flush across his cheeks and a towel thrown over one shoulder. Was he just working out, Lucy wondered. His little exceed was perched on the other shoulder looking so cute as always.
"Lucy? Luuuucy? Oi wake up!" Jason snapped his fingers in front of her face and she realized she had been openly staring at Rogue. "As I was saying, Master Sting, Miss Heartfilia here will be conducting the interviews and I will oversee your photo shoots. It will be you, Rogue Cheney, Orga Nanagear, Yukino Agria and Rufus Lore correct?" Sting nodded then looked curious. "Could we add one more to the list?" He asked. Jason raised his eyebrows in surprise but Lucy could tell he was practically vibrating in excitement. "So cool! Who is this mystery wizard?" Sting opened his mouth to respond but Rogue beat him to it.
"Minerva Orland." Rogue was speaking to Jason but he was watching Lucy and it was hard for her not to internally squirm under his crimson stare. Lucy kept her eyes lowered so as not to embarrass herself further though she was blushing furiously. At the mention of the woman who had starred in some of Lucy's nightmares however, she froze and felt a wave of pure terror and then rage. Minerva?! I'd forgotten they brought her back. Lucy shuddered at her memories of the woman. Damn, I don't want to deal with her! I wonder what Jason would say if I refused to do her interview? Once again though Lucy was pulled from her thoughts. "Minerva Orland? Wasn't her father your former master?" Jason asked. Rogue nodded his mouth set in a grim line but Sting grinned showing his dragon fangs. "Yeah her old man used to run this place but he wasn't worth following. This is the new and improved Sabertooth! So let's get going, I have important guild master shit to do."
Rogue POV
Rogue snorted and rolled his eyes but he stepped back in invitation so that the weird guy and the Fairy could walk by him. He had caught her scent as soon as the doors had opened but it had subtly changed flaring wildly with her anxiety and a dose of fear. There had been another scent at the beginning when she had been staring but he hadn't been sure of it. The anxiety and fear he was more than familiar with. Normally he wouldn't have been there to greet them at all but he had been on his way from their sparring dojo, having just finished several rounds with Orga, and was headed towards the locker room and pool when Sting had intercepted him and dragged him along despite his lack of attire. Seeing the Fairy's reaction though had been well worth his mild discomfort at being so exposed. Her scent was driving him mad and so he decided to trail her through the guild hall with Sting and the other guy without changing. Approaching the café area he saw his fellow guild mates that Sting had roped into this for publicity. He shared a long suffering look with Orga and sat down at the table with the god-slayer. "Is that a fairy?" The green haired wizard asked. Rogue nodded and tried to be subtle in his constant observation of the blonde celestial mage. There was something about her nagging at the back of his head. He watched her unobtrusively from his seat while he made casual conversation with Orga as they awaited their turns for the interviews. Eventually it came down to him and Minerva, who still had yet to show up. Lucy looked around, a bit panicked he thought but it could have been his imagination. Finally she smoothed down her skirt, squared her shoulders and approached him. Her expression was guarded but it was her scent he trusted. His nose had never failed him before and he used his heightened dragon senses to pick up on exactly what her scent told him. She stood before him, notepad and pen in hand, that lovely flush creeping over her skin as she looked at him and he smirked. He knew the metallic tinge to her strawberry-like scent... she was aroused. Well, he thought, this is gonna be fun.
Well that's all for now... soooo review and let me know and I'm gonna do my best to get the next chapter out either later today or tomorrow.
