Avoiding That Dragon Slayer (Sting Eucliffe x Reader)

Chapter 3: Honorifics

The next day has finally come, and your team is standing near the entrance to the arena. You were currently discussing about the mysterious attack on Wendy and Carla. You weren't participating in the conversation though, you were just thinking about Sting, again. You really don't want to be thinking about him right before the opening ceremony, but you just couldn't help but wonder about his weird behaviour. Did he really only want to see just to know if you made it or not?

After thinking a lot last night, you came to a conclusion that he might have wanted something else. You have no clue what though. You also realized that his attitude towards you changed as well. When you first saw him he was really annoyed with you, but once you were alone with him, in between those buildings, he acted like a completely different person. Well not completely, he stiil had his ups and downs.

Now it's time for you to enter the arena for everyone to see you. You all walk towards the opening, and you immediately start to hear shouts and boos coming right at you. They're all so loud, you've never been somewhere with this much noise. Even just a regular day at the guild wouldn't sound like this.

You're somewhat irritated by the people booing Fairy Tail, obviously you keep that emotion inside of you. The other 5 don't seem too bothered by the shouts either, which is good. For sure you thought Natsu would rash out and attack everyone in the stands. You all stop close to the middle of the arena, and wait for the other guilds to make their entrance too.

The other guilds that have made the top 8 so far are, Mermaid Heel, Quarto Cerberus, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Raven Tail. Apperantly Raven Tail's master is your master's son, and Laxus' father. The Master clearly wasnt happy about this, you here him shouting in the stands. Next up are the final 2 teams, the second team is a huge surprise. It's another Fairy Tail team, the Fairy Tail B team. Natsu gets pissed off, he thought it was just going to be your team. You didn't mind, since this would give Fairy Tail an advantage.

Finally the last guild is starting to enter, everyone in the crowd cheers even louder than before as they enter. You already know which guild it is, Sting told you yesterday. You see the 6 members walk into the arena, Sting has his hands up in the air with a confident smirk on his face. Everyone else seems calm and collective, prepared for anything that's about to come. They definetly look like a strong team. When they stop to their spot of the arena, one of the two girls clings onto Sting's arm and cuddles it. You raise an eyebrow, she probably has a crush on him. You see Natsu snarl at Sting, and Sting gives him a smile. You wonder why Natsu has a problem with him.

"Let's have fun Natsu-san," says Sting.

Sting's about to walk off when he notices you, he smiles and then walks over to you.

"That's an outfit I thought you'd never wear," he says looking at you up and down smirking.

You immediately blush from his actions and cover yourself up with your arms. You are currently wearing the same outfit as Lucy, except you have sleeves, that's the only difference. Sting's right though, you never like to wear clothes that would expose your body. The outfit you normallt wear only shows your legs, hands, neck, and of course your head. Sting chuckles, leaves you standing there, and walks back to his guild members. You see the girl who was clinging onto Sting earlier, glare at you. You flinch at her gaze, you've never had anyone jealous of you before.

After all the entrances, the speaker announces the upcoming event that's about to start. It's a game called "Hidden", Gray volenteers to participate. Him and all the other partcipants walk to the rule board looking hologram. Suddenly a city appears around the participants, and you and the rest of the team are outside of it somehow. They bring up a screen called Lacrima Vision so we can see what's going on. Everyone partcipating is currently serperated, and the game is about to begin.
