Smudged Happiness: Chapter 4

Previous chapter

First chapter

Ao3

Erza ditches school for the first time, for a reason she could never live down.

Gray meets the new girl on the swim team, and they decide to initiate her by getting wasted.

Warning: Slight nsfw

A few hours earlier during lunch….

Erza followed behind Jellal shooting dagger at his skull. He hadn’t done anything bad to her, but still, even when he tried to do something nice, it put her on edge. She was too busy fuming to notice where they were going. Suddenly she realized they were headed up the stairs to the open roof.

“Where are we going? Why would we have the meeting up there?” Erza ask annoyed.

“Oh yeah I lied. There is no meeting,” Jellal said laughing.

“So then what was the point of all that?”

“Obviously to get you alone.”

Erza’s eyes widened. “No way! I’m done with that. See you later,” she said as she turned to leave. He caught her hand before she walked off and pulled her toward him.

“Do you really want to play that game at school? We could, but that would cause a scene,” Jellal he said smiling.

“Let go of me,” but she didn’t attempt to struggle. He pulled her behind a corner and bent her over the wall. He put his hand in her mouth and took off as little clothes as possible.

As soon as he came, Erza pushed him off panicking. “You’re not wearing a condom! Why would you not pull out?!”

Jellal eyes flash panic, “Wait - s-sorry it’s just that every girl I - usually the girls I’m with are on birth control… are you not?”

“You know my parents!! What do you think??” Erza yelled. “Oh my god oh my god.”

“Wait we can go get Plan B,” Jellal said. “We can go right now.”

“It’s like fifty dollars! My parents will know something is up if they see a charge like that!” Erza said freaking out.

Jellal opened his wallet and took out a hundred dollar bill. “I’ll drive let’s go.”

Erza Scarlett, Class President, Rule Book follower skipped her first day of junior year to buy plan B.

Last period was Gray’s favorite. Not because it meant he got to leave after - but because last period was swim. After class ended, it streamlined into practice. Not today though, he had a few weeks before the season started. And since it was the first day, all he was gonna do was chill with his team.

When Gray strolled in he checked in with his coach and headed to the bleachers.

“Hey Gray. Just the mermaid I was telling Meredy about. Your synchronized swimming skills really brought me to tears at state,” Lyon Vastia said smirking to Gray.

Gray and Lyon were the definition of frenemies. Sure Natsu’s and Gray fight, but Lyon really knows how to grind his gears.

“Shut up Lyon, I dusted your freestyle time,” Gray said back.

“Yes but you really stole the show with your graceful butterfly,” Lyon said teasingly. Just then Gray noticed a girl isolated up in the bleachers.

“Who’s that?” Gray asked.

“She’s a transfer student from Phantom Academy. Supposedly she was there best swimmer, so when she transferred here, she automatically made the team,” Meredy explained.

“Hold on I know her. Holy shit! Gray, she was that girl who broke the record time on freestyle for girls! She literally won for their team!” Lyon said.

Gray looked at her. He recognized her. Girls free stroke was right before Boys butterfly. Juvia was last to go for girls, and he was first for boys. While they were waiting - he heard Juvia’s team mates making snarky comments about her loud enough for everyone to hear.

Right before she went up, Gray whispered, “When you swim today, do it for you. Win for you and have a self victory. Don’t let these bitches have any glory.”

Since he was up next, he hadn’t seen her perform. “Why won’t she talk to us?” asked Gray.

“I dont know she hasn’t said a word,” said Rufus walking up.

“Let me try,” Gray said walking up the bleachers. He walked over and sat down next to her.

“Hey I heard about your win. Everyone’s excited you’re here,” Gray said.

“Go away before I make you miserable too,” Juvia said.

“What would be miserable for all of us, is a teammate who can’t work with us. It would make us miserable if you stay up here.”

Juvia blushed and eventually walked down the bleachers with him. After a while, the entire boys and girls swim team was sitting upon the bleachers. The Coach checked in and started giving the usual speech. Lyon leaned over to Gray,

“Hey Meredy, Ultear, and I are staying after the bell. You coming,” he opened his jacket revealing a water bottle and a deck of cards. That could only mean one thing.

“Hell yeah,” said Gray completely forgetting his previous plans.

“Also ask Juvia to stay.”

Finally the bell rang and the students began to filter out. And Juvia walked out the door Gray touched her shoulder and whispered, “Hey how’s the time to get to know your teammates. Stay after the bell.”

The only people remaining were Meredy, Ultear, Lyon, Gray and Juvia. They sat on the floor of the boy’s locker room.

“What are we doing? Trust falls? Ice breakers?” Juvia asked quietly.

“Even better,” Meredy said smiling slyly as she dealt cards. Lyon took out the water bottle, took a sip and passed it to Gray.

“We’re doing shots and playing strip poker!” Ultear said.

“Wait no, we both can’t go in,” Erza said. Another argument, this time in a drugstore parking lot.

“Why not?” Jellal asked.

“Because what if we see someone we know and they’ll see us together and we’ll be here! Buying plan B! Together!” Erza rambled.

“Ok well it has to be you then,” Jellal said handing her the cash.

“What?”

“It’s the law that if someone under the age of 18 purchases plan B, they have to be a girl.” Jellal says.

“You just made that up!”

“Well we can argue about that too or you could just go get it.”

“Fine,” Erza says as she gets out of the car. She sheepishly wanders around the store not daring to ask for help. Her heart sinks when she sees them locked behind the counter.

“Um excuse me,” she asks quietly not looking up, “could I get um one of those boxes right there,” she said her face the same color as her scarlet hair. The cashier began to unlock the box. Erza noticed something else at the check out line.

“A-also c-can I get a pack of those *comdoms*,” Erza face now crimson. After she pays, Erza wordlessly leaves the store and runs back to Jellal’s car.

“Where’s your wallet?” Erza demanded. Jellal held it up confused. Erza snatched it and put the condoms inside. She shot him a glare and tossed it back.

“As you wish ~” he says in that infuriating snarky tone.

Erza takes the pill and they drive back to school. As they pull into the parking lot, it seems pretty empty.

“Oh wow we missed dismissal,” Jellal says amused.

“Oh crap! I was supposed to drive everybody from school today! It’s already 4:30!” Erza exclaimed.

“Well that sounds like a you problems. See ya Scarlett,” Jellal says as he drives off.

Erza pulled out her phone

Erza: I’m so sorry! The meeting just ended!

Natsu: it’s cool Zeref drove us

Wow lying to your friends. Who have I become.

“Ugh Ultear can u give me a ride home,” Gray said laying on the floor in nothing but his underwear. “Yeah, might as well I’m already taking Lyon.”

“Noooo you guys are leaving~~~ but we’re having so much funnnn,” slurred a Juvia.

“Who knew all she needed was a little bit of alcohol,” Meredy said giggling, “I’ll drive you home Juvia, I’m pretty sober.”

Gray and Lyon stumbled their way to Ultear car. The walk woke them up, so thankfully they could sit up for the drive.

“Hey Gray, I really like that Juvia girl,” Lyon said.

“Hey she’s pretty cool,” Gray replied.

“No, you don’t get it, I really like her,” Lyon said.

“Oh that’s cool I’ll respect that,” Gray said.

“You don’t mind, right Gray?”

“Nope she’s all yours”

“Wow Erza’s meeting just ended now,” Natsu said as they pulled into the driveway.

As soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by a swirl with a sweet voice, “Welcome home Zeref and Natsu! Hey Mavis! Nice to see you again Lucy!” She said.

“Finally someone remembers me!”

“Hey Wendy how was school?” Natsu asked.

“Cmon let’s goo,” Mavis said pulling Zeref to his room.

“You gotta see the surprise!”

Jerza head canon I thought of while rewatching FT

• note: This is all based on the assumption that lacrima technology is progressing, similar to the way our media coverage/internet/phones progress.

• During the 7 years where the group was trapped on Tenrou, the media coverage was high. Eventually as the general public began to believe and accept that the wizards were not returning and people stopped reporting on it. Records and reports were stored in several local libraries/archives.

• Immediately after Ultear and Meredy break Jellal out of prison they then have the difficult task of telling him what really happened on Tenrou. In the year before the breakout, Jellal had held faith that Erza was alive, and after hearing an insider’s point of view he starts to panic and waver in his faith. Poor man has had some trauma; He starts to have a panic attack due to the mix of hope and despair he feels. He had been clinging to the feeling of hope of Erza being alive for so long, and now feeling despair at the thought of a world without her.

• Ultear takes Jellal under the cover of night to break into a library (no security, who would break into a library amirite) and keeps watch while he reads over all of the news coverage. Meredy was supposed to wait at their safe house, but she decided to go on a trip of her own, breaking into a vendor stall that happened to be selling Fairy Tail merchandise. She intends to commit one last sin.

• After consuming ever piece of knowledge he can on the matter, and Ultear urging him to wrap up as dawn approached, they finally head back to the safe house. Meredy is home and asleep. Jellal locks himself in his room, where he has one of the worst weeks of his life. He still wants to hold faith yet the evidence was damning. Not a trace of the island found, the ether nano readings, and the passing of time. He feels helpless. What’s the point of continuing; The most important person is gone. His mind eats him up relentlessly.

• Ultear gives him some space, he has a lot to process. For 5 days she brings meals to his doors and knocks each morning and lets him know she’ll be in the yard training with Meredy. He never verbally answers. At first he doesn’t eat, but caves after the huger gets to be too much. He always makes sure to not make a mess, but he never joins Ultear and Meredy at the table.

• On the 6th day Ultear has to make a run into the nearby town for some groceries. While she is gone Meredy knocks on Jellal’s door, no answer. She waits a few moments and knocks again, no answer. Now she’s annoyed. She ends up picking the lock and open the door, where she sees Jellal sitting on the ground looking like a hot mess. She walks over to his pit of despair silent figure and sits on the ground next to him, leaning her back against the bed mirroring him.

• She hands him a box, poorly wrapped in newspaper, and refuses to budge or stop staring him down until he opens it. Inside the box is an Erza figurine (with 2 interchangeable swords!), an Erza plushie, and a poster of the Fairy Tail Guild (he notes the Sorcerer Weekly logo in the corner). Jellal’s hands begin to shake as he places the box on the ground next to them and takes the Erza plushie in his hands. He begins to cry silently as he smooths down the plushie’s scarlet hair.

• “I had a wonderful dream once. A fairy told me to live for the ones I love.” She says with a small smile as she fondly thumbs her own wrist. “Whether she’s out there or not, you have to go on for her. It’s what Ultear and I are doing, together. Talk to her, she’ll explain all of this, and we will continue to live on together. For everyone we have ever loved.” Says the pink haired cutie as she looks at the plushie.

• When Ultear arrives home, she finds Jellal’s door still open. Jellal and Meredy are still in their same spots but they have both fallen asleep. Jellal still holding the Erza plushie, and Meredy with her head against Jellal’s shoulder. Ultear leaves them to rest while she prepares dinner, the smell of delicious food soon waking them up.

• That dinner is the first meal that they all eat together. Ultear explains to him their idea for Crime Sorcière. It is here she confesses her role in his possession. She’s genuinely regretful, and understands if it causes him to deny their request to join, but begs that he’ll continue his own fight against Zeref.

• Jellal handles it better than anyone expected. In the 5 days he spent wallowing he did so much reflecting. He still feels lost, but Meredy’s words hit him hard. He forgives Ultear and accepts to join their independent guild. Later after everyone goes to their rooms for the night, Jellal decorates with the gifts Meredy got for him. He places his figurine on the small bookshelf under the window, the moon light catching on her hair. He hangs the poster, smiling for the first time in a long time as he sees everyone’s faces. The smile is a sad one, but full of love.

• Jellal keeps the Erza plushie in bed with him, on particularly rough nights he hugs it against his chest/neck, smoothing down the soft scarlet hair.

• I have more but it’s late and I’m exhausted so maybe I’ll make a part 2 later on. I hope you have enjoyed this! I know I did ❤️

FT x TWST Housewardens

Ever since I realized (halfway through my other batch of drawings) that Housewardens specifically get to design their own uniforms, I've been wanting to a new batch with them because I get to partially customize the uniforms based on what I think the character would do and I think that's neat.

Also featuring little blurbs of story content stuff because this AU is starting to live in my brain. (Help there's so much in there but it's so fun.)

Text version of the blurbs under the cut

ERZA SCARLET [Half-fae, half-human]

Grade/Class: Sophomore (2-A28) Homeland: Queendom of Roses Club: Spelldrive Best Subject: Summoning Unique Magic: Sword Space —allows for objects to be collected and removed from a pocket dimension of Erza’s own making

LOKE URSAE [Lion Beastman (mostly)]

Grade/Class: Junior (3-C30) Homeland: Sunset Savanna Club: Track & Field Best Subject: Defense Magic Unique Magic: Light of the Sun —causes Loke to channel and release a highly concentrated light magic capable of burning almost any other type of magic; it’s very bright and potent

AQUARIUS SADALSUUD [Merfolk]

Grade/Class: Junior (3-C26) Homeland: Coral Sea Club: Literature Club Best Subject: History of Magic Unique Magic: Water-Bearer —allows her to absorb large masses of water (any state) into herself or objects, and subsequently to release it as well

ULTEAR MILKOVICH [Human]

Grade/Class: Junior (3-B20) Homeland: The Shaftlands Club: Science Club Best Subject: Ancient Magic Unique Magic: Rewind —allows her to revert targeted objects to a previous state of being

MINERVA ORLAND [Human]

Grade/Class: Sophomore (2-A23) Homeland: Scalding Sands Club: Equestrian Club Best Subject: Poison Making Unique Magic: Territory —can switch the locations of two targets of her choosing

MYSTOGAN MARVELL [Human] Originally Jellal Edolas

Grade/Class: Sophomore (2-E19) Homeland: Kingdom of Heroes Club: Mountain Lovers Club Best Subject: Magic Analysis Unique Magic: Mist Body —turns his body into a nigh intangible mass of particles; also grants high movement speed and flight

LAXUS DREYAR [Dragon-fae]

Grade/Class: Junior (3-D05) Homeland: Briar Valley Club: Board Game Club Best Subject: Practical Magic Unique Magic: Thunder Palace —links things together and to him and allows Laxus to channel his magic through that item (or person) when activated

My secret ship Jellal x ultear 💙💜

Note

For your salty asks, 1, 6, 9 and 20 please? Also, I salute your bravery, dear 🫡

Hi, Acacia, good morning and thank you for your asks 🫡

1 - Which OTPs I just don't in my fandoms? You know, this is actually a good question. There are ships that I don't like romantically, but still respect and understand why the shippers love them. If there are anything, certainly incest and problematic ships, but that is of course normal.

Funny story though, there is a Fairy Tail ship that I didn't get at first, but I came to like under certain circumstances, which only works with them. Jellal x Ultear from Fairy Tail, during their time at the Magic Council. And you know who made me ship it? One of the biggest Jellal x Erza shippers I know! Ironic, isn't it? And only during the council times, during the Crime Sorcière times they are a Brotp for both of us. What interested the Jerza shipper about Jeltear was "what if they have some kind of affair during their time at the Magic Council?". She found that they have that kind of vibe and I have to say, why not? Not only has she wrote interesting stories about them during that time, but it somehow also adds to Jellals guilt to start anything with Erza, because his only relationship he ever had was an affair during his "villain time", during which he and Ultear thought that they controlled the other. We know how it went truly, but still. It makes good stories if you like drama and if you want to try writing a problematic relationship. I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but if anyone is interested about more details why my Jerza shipper friend and myself are liking Jeltear, feel free to ask^^

6 - What fandom made me enjoy a pairing I previously hated? Not hated at first, but in Black Clover it was Asta x Mimosa. I found her crush cute and how she took inspiration from Asta, but I was neutral towards the ship at first. But then the haters came, Mimosta haters and Mimosa haters, and just to understand why, I got interested in the ship and then I was... excuse me? There is nothing wrong with this ship (and with Mimosa in general), so the haters are one of the reasons why I started to like this ship. I prefer Astelle of course, but Mimosta is a cute ship too. And to be fair, never forget that there are many characters in Black Clover who would get angry at any kind of Mimosa bashing.

9 - Most disliked characters? Dante, Vanica, Zagred, Lucius for sure. Oh, I LOVE to hate them and I love them as villains, but I would never love them for their personalities and actions, that is for sure. Also, king Augustus, obviously. When I write him, I always have the feeling that if I want to punch him while writing, I got his character perfectly. Ledior and Lillian Vaude as well, heck why I made Langris cut ties with them too and give the brother's children not the Vaude names. As for other fandoms... There are many villains, that I love as villains but hate as the people they are. So any villain for the sake of being evil, probably. Like Shiro in Assassination Classroom or some villains in Fairy Tail, like Brain for example. I'm otherwise very open about characters and I love most in any fandom I am, but of course I have some characters I don't like.

20 - Purest ship in any fandom? I don't know what is meant with purest, so I go with the ships that are the most innocent for me, I guess. Astelle, Mimosta, Mars x Fana, FinFin and Luminero in Black Clover, Chendy and Loke x Aries in Fairy Tail, Deku x Uraraka, Kamijirou, Kirimina and my a lot of ships in Assassination Classroom, like Meg x Isogai or the Chiba x Hayami. I probably forgot some^^'

The Canon Muse List of Of Darkest Desires and Darkest Desires Erotica

So many people have been asking about this...for years now. I specifically don't list the canon characters that I write for because that list is lengthy, and changes with the wind and my personal muse. However, since it is a new year, I suppose it's time we did a full canon character list for this blog. And, as an added note, I will also add at the end of each section notable OC muses that belong to these specific worlds.

Quick key before we get to the list, though: if a character is one of my favorites, they will be bolded and colored. If a character can be written genderswapped, they will be italicized. If a character is written non-canonically, they will be struck-through.

Santu Claus Is Coming to Town (Chapter 2)

A collaboration by @mdelpin and @oryu404

@becausewritingshouldbefun January 2023 Challenge Prompt: Resolutions Pairing(s): Gray x Natsu, Sting x Rogue, Lyon x Erza (mentioned) AO3 | Prev: Ch 1| Ch 2 Next: Ch 3

Chapter Summary: Rogue faces two challenges this Christmas eve: asking Sting out, and a confrontation with his childhood Christmas trauma.

Chapter 2: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fuck This

Rogue was well aware his family went all nutcrackers in December, but… man, they had really lost it this year. His mom and aunt in particular. He heard the Christmas music playing as soon as Ultear opened the door to welcome them in. Band Aid, now wasn’t that a perfect fit? That had to be their theme song.

𝅘𝅥 Do they know it's Christmas time at all? 𝅘𝅥𝅮 Yes. Yes, they did. But aunt Ur must've been worried someone might forget because she and that traffic accident magnet of a yard of hers made sure there was no getting around it.

𝅘𝅥 Feed the world! 𝅘𝅥𝅮 You know what? That might just be possible with the metric fucktons of food his mom had prepared.

No, Christmas was not Rogue’s favorite holiday.

Ultear’s laughter at the parking situation, and the fact she hugged him when he greeted her, were all he needed to know she was already tipsy. They’d never been all that close, but he had to admit it was good to see her again.

Her husband… hmm, not so much.

Rogue tensed up as soon as Siegrain approached him, the smirk on his face letting him know he wouldn’t like whatever was about to come out of the bastard’s mouth.

“Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, little cousin!” Ugh, like that. It wasn’t that Rogue hated Christmas. He liked parts of it, like the coziness of twinkling lights in the dark winter days, the abundance of good food, and the joy of unwrapping presents or playing games with loved ones. And his family was nice–not counting Siegrain, and his permanently inebriated uncle. He just had some… issues with the supposedly most wonderful time of the year. Issue, actually. All the holiday's wonderful things combined weren’t enough to make him forget the one thing that ruined the season for him every year. Santa Claus. Of course, Siegrain knew this. Who didn’t? The story behind it had been told so many times that by now it was a family legend. And Rogue knew every last detail of it, despite having no recollections of his own.

His uncle, pre divorce and alcoholism, used to dress up as Santa for the kids. It was one of their family's many Christmas traditions. Gray, Lyon, and Ultear had loved it when they were little, so naturally they'd all assumed Rogue would too.

And who knows? Maybe he would’ve, if only his brother and cousins–who‌ were seven, eight, and ten years older than him, mind you–hadn't decided it would be funny to have him watch Krampus with them. Cause what’s funnier than traumatizing a four-year-old, right? While he believed that was never their intention, it was exactly what ended up happening once his mother woke him up from his nap and plopped him on Santa’s lap. End result: he’d never lived down the humiliation of peeing on his uncle, and the asshole's reaction had scarred him enough to leave him with a fear of Santa Claus that he still carried with him to this day.

Just as Rogue was about to give Siegrain the greeting he deserved, Jellal–Ultear and Siegrain’s four-year-old son–came running out of the living room. He took one look at him and immediately said the words that Rogue dreaded the most.

“Did you know Santa’s coming here today?!”

“Yeah, that’s great.”

Lies. It was not great. It was, in fact, about as far from great as you could get, but Jellal looked so excited that Rogue didn’t have the heart to say anything else.

The truth was, he’d flat out refused to attend the party when his parents had first told him they were bringing the tradition back for Jellal. They'd promised it would all be over before they even set foot in aunt Ur’s house, but he’d known that it wouldn’t be that simple, because if there was one thing about his uncle you could count on, it was the fact that you couldn’t count on him.

And wouldn’t you know it? Dear Uncle Asshole had yet to show up.

His mom had assured him he had nothing to worry about, because aunt Ur was handling it. He seriously hoped that was the case, because while he would never deprive Jellal of the wonderful experience, he wanted nothing to do with it, and that included talking about it.

So he excused himself and hurried to catch up with Gray, receiving a pat on his shoulder from dad as he passed him on his way back to help mom with the last of their cargo.

Rogue wasn't surprised to find the kitchen crammed full of people. After all, who in their right mind would want to sit with Siegrain? He’d already had enough of him after only a few seconds. Still, he fretted a bit when he saw just how many people there were.

A flash of something red in the crowd startled him enough to flinch and back up, and with no one behind him, he almost lost his balance. It was a good thing he caught himself at the last moment, because imagine the embarrassment of falling ass first on the floor over the long scarlet hair of mother and daughter duo Irene and Erza.

Where the hell did Sting go? He’d been right behind him just now. Had he lost him already? At least that meant he hadn’t seen that blunder, and judging by the lack of snide comments, it seemed none of the others had either. “You brought booze? Good man,” Lyon greeted Gray, immediately lowering his voice. “We’re gonna need it.”

He took over the boxes Gray had brought in, and organized the liquor bottles into the bar area they’d set up without elaborating any further, which didn't please Rogue one bit. Sure, most of the adults were likely getting drunk at some point, but this reeked of drama. Aunt Ur, frowning at something on her phone and typing furiously a moment later, further solidified that belief.

“Gray! I don’t see you enough!” She was the next one to greet his brother, putting her phone away so she could squeeze him tightly, as if not enough meant never.

“Sorry, it’s been hectic.”

“I was sad to hear Natsu won’t be able to join us, we always love seeing him too.”

“When will he be back?” Erza took a break from helping Irene gather napkins and plastic cups to join in, waddling over to give Gray a hug.

“No clue. Last I heard, they were having a hard time finding flights out.” Gray said, quickly changing the subject by asking “How’s baby treating you?” “Just fine.” Erza rubbed her belly, but Rogue caught Lyon’s expression of disbelief that suggested otherwise. “Although I have to admit, the closer I get to my due date, the more impatient I’m becoming.”

Speaking of due date… when was that? Erza looked like she'd swallowed a watermelon whole. He really hoped she didn’t go into labor mid-Christmas party. If that were to happen, he was out of here.

“You can only hope the baby doesn’t take after you,” Irene teased. “I swear, you were so late that by the time you were born, I felt like I’d been pregnant for about four hundred years.”

She, Erza and Ur launched the room into the utmost fascinating world of pregnancy and baby talk, which Gray and Lyon either didn’t care to or were too scared to interrupt. And Rogue couldn’t blame them, knowing just how scary the women in his family could be. Or who knows? Maybe they were actually interested.

But he sure as hell wasn’t. So even though he hated being the center of attention, he cleared his throat, stepping out from behind Gray and steeling himself for the circus that was likely to ensue once they set eyes on him.

“Hi–” he held up the bag of food he’d brought– “Where should I put this?”

“Rogue? Is that you?” Ur gasped, looking exactly like his mother had before when she hugged him. “You look great!”

“You'll want to avoid the tent in the backyard,” she whispered, winking and squeezing his shoulders before letting go of him to grab the bag he’d been holding.

“Thanks Aunt Ur,” he said, offering her the most genuine smile he was capable of as his gaze automatically drifted to the glass sliding doors leading out to the deck.

He could see the tent she'd mentioned through the gap between the curtains, and instantly recognized it as one she used for large parties. Given how few decorations surrounded it, he had no doubt she had scrambled to put it together for him.

But more importantly, most of the view of the tent's inside was blocked by a Christmas tree strategically placed near the entrance. How many did that make now? Four? Well, whatever. This was hands down his favorite one and Ur was definitely his favorite aunt. Thanks to her, he had one less worry.

He was so relieved that when Erza and Irene began gushing over him too, he just accepted his fate. He would have appreciated some help from his traitor of a brother, but apparently Gray would rather laugh at him with Lyon. Not that Rogue was all that surprised. It had always been like that; Ultear, Lyon and Gray on one side, and him on the other.

Him and…

“Where’s Sting?” Ur asked once she was done unpacking the bag and looked around the kitchen. “Didn't he come with you?”

“He did. He should be around somewhere,” Rogue said, shrugging his shoulders as he looked around in search of his friend, feeling oddly lost even in his own aunt's house.

He'd never resented his childhood, had even come to understand that the gap between him and his brother and cousins was simply the result of their age difference. But it hadn’t kept him from feeling lonely, like he didn’t quite belong.

That changed when Sting's mother fell ill. She and Mika had been longtime friends, and so Rogue's parents did everything they could to support the Eucliffe family through the difficult time of her treatment, which sadly wasn't enough to help her win the battle.

Although Sting had been Rogue's playmate from the moment they'd been able to sit up, it was through that tragedy that they truly found the friend they so desperately needed in each other. Despite being as different as night and day, they'd quickly become inseparable. The two of them against the rest of the world.

Maybe that was part of the reason it had taken Rogue so long to realize his feelings for Sting had grown into more than just friendship.

Once he had, it wasn't long before the worst-case scenarios had taken over his daydreams. So he'd kept it quiet for a while, hoping the stomach-fluttering, head in the clouds feeling would pass and he could go back to simpler times, but there'd been no way around it. Not when the guy lived in his head rent free.

And things between them had felt different lately, feeding the hope that Sting might feel the same way until it was driving him nuts. He’d had enough of wanting, dreaming and waiting; it was time to man up and do something about it.

And he was going to do it tonight. He'd done his best to look nice, and though the responses he'd gotten so far were annoyingly exaggerated, he couldn't deny they'd also boosted his confidence.

Rogue put his hand in his pocket, feeling for the pouch he’d placed there when he got dressed and squeezing it for courage.

He could do this.

Assuming he'd find Sting, of course. Seriously, where had he gone off to? You’d think a guy wearing bells on his shoes would be easier to find. Oh! Bells! He heard them! Rogue turned around only to see his parents putting more stuff they’d gotten from the car in the hallway, but no sign of Sting. And the last of his excitement deflated when he realized the sound was coming from his aunt.

𝅘𝅥 Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, with a corn-cob pipe and a button nose and his eyes made out of coal 𝅘𝅥𝅮

“I’ve got to take this real quick,” Ur sighed before she’d even reached for her phone and looked at the caller ID. “I’ll be right back.”

“Here we go,” Lyon muttered under his breath in a tone Rogue easily recognized, having heard it plenty of times during his aunt’s divorce.

“Erza! You look wonderful!” his mother chirped the moment she entered the kitchen, while his father shook Lyon’s hand and nodded a greeting to the others.

“Where’s Ur?”

“Phone call,” Gray shrugged, wisely not going into further details. Their uncle was a touchy subject in their family. “She said it shouldn't take long.”

“Oh, alright. Can I get you guys to help me set out the food?”

Erza offered, but Mika and Irene were having none of it, sending her back to the living room with a slice of strawberry shortcake. Silver went ahead of them to set up the warmers in the dining room, while Irene and Mika followed with plates, napkins, and cutlery.

Rogue watched Gray walk towards Lyon, who was still busy with the bar. Not knowing what else to do, he went through the remaining bags, placing the food on the counter so that people who had a clue could do something with them.

His gaze landed on his mother's purse, which had ended up among them. He could hear her chatting and moving stuff around in the dining room, and Gray and Lyon were too busy doing their best impression of that one scene from Cocktail to pay him any attention. If he was fast enough, he could send himself those pictures she took of him and Sting by their tree…

Acting as nonchalantly as possible, he opened up her purse and quickly found her phone. The password wasn't a problem. They all knew it was her wedding anniversary. He'd just opened the camera app when he heard bells jingling closer.

Shit, he was coming! Rogue's heart raced as he tried to find the pictures he wanted amongst the hundreds of shots his mother had taken. How the hell did she find anything in here?

“Santa!”

Where?!

CRACK!

….Oh no.

Rogue picked up the phone–which had been an anniversary present from his father, by the way–from where it had landed screen down on the cold, hard kitchen floor. Closing his eyes, he prayed that when he turned it over, it would miraculously be fine.

“You are one lucky bastard.”

The relief he heard in Gray’s voice encouraged him to look, and he was shocked to discover that not only was the phone unscathed, it was also showing him the exact picture he'd been looking for. Whatever cosmic force ran this joint must be on his side today.

“He’s not here yet. See?” Sting entered the kitchen, carrying a very impatient looking Jellal in his arms.

So that's where he'd gone.

“What are you doing?” he asked, seeing Rogue on the floor with his mother’s phone.

“Doing his best to get on the naughty list,” Lyon said wryly.

“Huh?”

“No, Rogue, don’t do that! Then Santa won’t come!”

If only…

Jellal’s look of horror would have been comical if it hadn’t been directed at him. Even worse, how was he supposed to put the phone back in his mother’s purse with Sting watching him?

“Rogue, honey, did you unpack the mashed potatoes already?” his mom called out, her heels clicking on the floor as she walked over to the kitchen.

Foreseeing exactly what would happen even before she aww'ed at Sting and Jellal, he wanted to crack his own skull on the tile floor for being stupid enough to think about snatching her phone. He'd known she'd be snapping shots all night, paparazzi style, as he'd already seen hundreds of things she'd want a picture of.

And, yeah, Sting and Jellal together would definitely be high on that list. They looked ridiculously cute.

“Don’t move! Let me grab my phone!” She hurried to her purse, opening it in record time.

“That’s strange. Has anyone seen my phone?”

Rogue scrambled to his feet and handed it over. “Oh, yeah, I found it in one of the bags. I meant to put it back in your purse.”

Judging by the look she gave him, his mother wasn’t buying it. Even worse was the smug expression on her face as soon as she turned on the phone. Rogue really didn’t like the smile that played on her lips as she looked from him to Sting. It seemed to suggest that, at least for his mother, Christmas had come a day early. The cherry on top was his own phone vibrating in his pocket. He could make a fairly educated guess of what he’d find if he checked it.

“Thanks, sweetie. Now, why don’t you go stand next to Sting, so I can take a picture of both of you?”

He obeyed her commands without protest, realizing no amount of snark was going to improve this situation. Sometimes he really hated his family.

Luckily, his mom didn't get to take more than a few pics as Jellal grew more and more restless by the second.

“Oooh, I see cookies!” Sting tried to distract him, or maybe he just wanted cookies. Both were equally plausible. “Do you want some? Aunt Mika's are the best!”

“I want to see Santa,” Jellal pouted, his bottom lip trembling as his eyes filled with tears, causing Sting to look from one adult to the next with a face that screamed Help me.

“This is a very busy night for Santa, Jellal,” Lyon said, ruffling his hair and taking him from Sting.

“But Unka Lyon,” Jellal protested, “What if he doesn’t come?”

“That’s not going to happen,” Lyon assured him with a smile, although the steel in his voice made Rogue think his cousin was getting ready to take matters into his own hands. “Now, how about one of those cookies?”

“Okay.”

Mika handed Jellal a plate with a couple of snowmen sugar cookies and Lyon walked him back to his parents, talking softly to him all the while.

“I didn’t know what to say,” Sting said, managing to look apologetic even while shoving a cookie into his mouth.

“You did better than I would have,” Rogue shrugged, nudging him aside with his hip so he could grab at least one of those cookies before they all disappeared into Sting’s pretty mouth. “I truly hope he gets a better experience than I did. Then again, could he really have a worse one?”

“Not likely,” Sting laughed.

“Right?”

Gray walked up to them and put his arms around their shoulders. “That reminds me. Who’s in the mood to watch Krampus tonight?”

“Fuck you,” Rogue scoffed, giving his brother a shove and ducking out of his grip.

Gray laughed at him, and though his attempt to torment him annoyed Rogue, he was too glad to see his brother in a decent mood to let it really get to him.

“Why don’t you guys go join the others?” their mom suggested, peering outside. “I’m going to check on your aunt real quick.” She opened the sliding door and slipped outside.

Well, so much for seeing Gray in a decent mood. No sooner had mom left than his brother was back to looking glum, pouring himself another drink at the bar.

“You guys coming?”

Rogue almost caved, having a pretty good idea how Gray would feel sitting with the happy couples while his own boyfriend was a continent away. But he was on a mission, and he wanted to complete it now, before he could overthink himself into chickening out. Or worse, sensed the old bearded demon and self-destructed his mood for the rest of the night.

“We’ll be there in a minute,” he said, grabbing Sting by the wrist before he could disappear again.

He was sure Gray was going to pry, but all he did was offer a nod and a slightly more depressed version of their mom's smile after the thing with her phone, and then he left without saying a word.

This was it. The moment of truth.

Maybe it was the way Sting smiled at him, which was somehow even more distracting than usual thanks to the sugar and cookie crumbs sticking to his lips. Then there was that stupid outfit of his. No cropped shirt this time, thank God, but the image of his legs in those tights was definitely going to stick for a while. And did those shorts really have to be made of fabric that looked so soft it screamed 'feel me'? How was that fair?!

Either way, the end result was the same. Rogue's mind was eerily empty.

This was so dumb. He knew words. Lots of them! Pretty words, sappy words, dirty words… Now that the moment was here, and he still couldn't put them together to say what he wanted.

“So tell me,” Sting started, twisting himself free so he could squeeze Rogue's hand before letting go to grab another cookie. “On a scale from one to ten, how done are you with Christmas songs? Because believe it or not, I'm approaching a solid 9.”

“Yeah, I’m going to need a bigger scale than that,” Rogue snorted, glad that Sting had broken the silence. Grabbing one last cookie for himself, he moved the container out of Sting’s reach. “Never thought I'd see the day you got there, though.”

“I didn't either, but here we are,” Sting said, already scanning the counter for another snack.

“Hey, at least you got some variety. Try working at the mall. If I hear that Mariah Carey song one more time, I might commit murder.”

Rogue knew he was going to regret those words as soon as he saw a devilish grin spread across Sting's lips.

“I…don't want a lot for Christmas…”

“Don't,” he warned, groaning and facepalming when instead of listening, Sting snatched a salt shaker off the counter to use as a microphone.

“Theeeeere is just one thing I need…”

“You need to shut up.”

But Sting paid him no mind and kept singing, swaying his hips for good measure.

“I don't care about the presents… underneath the Christmas tree…”

Wow, he was really going for it, full performance. Rogue shook his head, but couldn't stop himself from smiling. If this was how the stupid song was going to take his brain hostage for the rest of the night, so be it, especially since Sting had such a nice singing voice.

He held his breath for the next line, which was something he would absolutely love for Sting to say to him, but he never got to hear it.

“That’s what I was hoping to see.”

“Huh?”

“Your smile, dimwit.”

“Oh.” Rogue looked away, feeling said smile widening. “Anyway, speaking of presents–” he reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out the pouch. “You just said you didn't care about them, so I take it you don’t want this, then?”

Yes! That was a start! Sting had always loved presents, so it should get his interest. But sneaking a peek at his reaction, Rogue only got to see a flash of the excitement he was hoping for before Sting's expression fell, his eyes widening as he reached for his shorts pockets.

“Oh no. Where did I–” He patted himself down, muttering a long string of curses under his breath, and storming off to the coat rack to feel his coat's pockets. "You've got to be kidding me!"

“Is something wrong?” Rogue frowned at him when he came racing back in, phone in hand, to search through the now empty food bags.

“Nope!” Sting grinned rather unconvincingly, seeing as he looked more distraught than he had that time he’d lost his lunch money back in middle school. "Just don’t go anywhere, okay? I'll be back before you know it."

"No, wait! If this is about the gift, don’t worry about it. I just want to tell you some–"

“–thing,” Rogue sighed as the door slid closed on his words.

He watched Sting disappear from his sight, and waited for what felt like an eternity of nothing but his own dumbstruck face staring back at him through the glass.

He knew he'd missed his shot when he heard two familiar voices approaching, and couldn’t help but huff a laugh. Who knew when he'd be getting another moment alone with Sting? Had he really gotten himself all hyped for nothing?

“Wow, you look like you need a drink.” Lyon said, after taking one look at him. “You want one?”

“You might as well make us all one. It’s gonna be a long night,” Gray sighed, grabbing a deviled egg from an appetizer tray and shoving it in his mouth.

Sure. Why not? It couldn't be any worse than watching Krampus.
