#fuckyeahstingxrogue

We are not scared of the dark,

And lights don't burn our eyes.

As long as we are together,

We will always save each other.

Shadowlight week : Day 6 : Candlelights - Woods / open prompt

We're all falling and

We need a place to hide

A safe place somewhere in the woods

We can start the fire

All we know is what would be

Our home

We will stay

'Till the break of dawn

"Are you sure this is the right way? This doesn't seem like the right way. I'm certain that we have crossed that tree half an hour ago." Sting says, slightly out of breath as he climbs another rock to catch up with Rogue.

"Yes I'm sure for the hundredth time, and in case you didn't notice, we're in a forest, so basically all trees look the same. A few more meters and we will be there!"

Sting was about to complain again but his eyes catch the happy smile that Rogue gives him, and he suddenly doesn't remember what he was about to say.

Sighing, he lets Rogue lead the way again, ignoring the feeling that somehow he knows that they are lost.

*

As it turns out, "a few meters" slowly became "a few miles" and now Sting couldn't help but have an amused smile on his lips as he watches Rogue rubbing his neck and looking around him as if he's searching for something in particular.

Sting knows what that behaviour means but he also knows that Rogue would not admit anything yet. So Sting doesn't say a word and keeps watching his boyfriend tenderly.

*

Rogue stops an hour later, and Sting barely manages to not hit the body in front of him.

"This is a disaster," Rogues mumbles.

And this time Sting doesn't hold back and lets a laugh slide his lips. This earns him growls but the blond decides it's worth it.

"Tell me, Rogue. What the disaster is exactly?" Sting teases with a playful grin.

"You perfectly know what it is," comes a grumble in return.

"Yeah. But I want to hear you admit it," Sting replies.

The blond makes his way in front of his lover, taking a look at his face. He is clearly sulking and Sting finds it endearing. A few seconds pass before the dark haired boy finally sighs, his posture now more defeated.

"I don't know where we are."

Sting bites his lip, trying to refrain another laugh, knowing that this time it'll only hurt his boyfriend more than anything. Instead, he fills the gap between them by sliding his arms around Rogue's waist. He can feel how the gesture comfort him as Rogue leans in the touch and rests his forehead on Sting's shoulder.

"Well, not knowing where we are can't be that bad right ?" Sting murmurs tenderly.

Rogue doesn't answer anything, only brings his arms around Sting, so their bodies are a little closer.

"As long as we are together, it doesn't matter where we are," The blond adds.

Sting gives Rogue a kiss on his head while he tightens his grip around him.

Wherever they are it's peaceful; they can hear the birds singing, they can hear the wind dancing with the trees. They can see the sun piercing through the branches, leaving the forest with a halo of gold.

Sting decides that he doesn't mind where they are, they could spend the night here and tomorrow they'll decide on what to do.

Song used: Hollow Coves - The woods

Thank you so much to @watcher-ofthe-sky for the beta job and for doing it so quickly ! You're a sweetheart !

• They were together long before Sting became master. Everyone knew but never said anything about it, and as long as they were doing their job, Jiemma pretty much ignored them.

• They kept intimate contact for when they were alone, and no one would have found out if Sting didn't have a jealousy crisis when Yukino first arrived at the Guild and choose Rogue to be friends with. (Turned out that in the end she was into Minerva and Sting just made a fool of himself).

• When the guild was finally safe enough for them to be openly out, Rogue was, surprisingly, the one who was more content about it. Mainly because they could be themselves, and he didn't have to hold back when the urge to have physical contact with Sting came.

• Rogue is the clingy one and Sting is perfectly fine with it.

• They used to sleep in two differents room. Partly because they already lived together, and even if they love each other, they felt like it was the best thing to do, to keep a little privacy. In the end Sting was the one who decide to settle in Rogue's room, because he felt lonely without him. Rogue never complained, and they keep it that way until now, giving Sting's room to their exceeds.

• They've known each other since childhood. They have always lived with each other, but that doesn't mean they work perfectly together. After almost ten years, Rogue still finds himself yelling at Sting for the clothes he never bothered to put in the dirty laundry hamper in the bathroom. Sting keeps pestering Rogue to do his dishes, because he always forgets.

• Rogue helps Sting with Master's work, mostly paper things since the blond has zero patience. In return Sting surprisingly managed to hold the guild in one piece and deal with the council (even if there's always a disaster somehow).

• Sting always find Rogue passed out on the desk at the end of the day, and he always make a point to pick his boyfriend up and bring him home without waking him.

• Sting would change him into more confortable clothes before joining him in the bed and Rogue always manages to move until he's pratically on top of Sting. Sting loves it when that happens.

• Rogue is a tea person, but he'll drink coffee when necessary. Sting however, drinks his coffee with so much sugar, creamer, whipped cream, and other sweets that it cann't be called coffee anymore.

• Sting also likes energy drinks, but Rogue won't let him have them. It's a disaster waiting to happen

• Rogue likes to paint his nails and Sting likes to wear eyeliner. They both learned from Natsu when they were kids.

• The first time they kissed, Sting missed and hit the corner of Rogue's mouth. In his defense, they were both sleep deprived.

• When they tell the other slayers they're dating, they learn that all of them already knew. "You've been all over each other since you were kids."

• Sting wears crocs unironically. Rogue hates it

• Natsu and Rogue would straight up cry at how much of a fashion disaster he is

• Rogue as a piercing on his belly button because he lost a stupid bet to Sting. It's a little dragon. Rogue also has his ears pierced, and he wears the matching earring to Sting's on the side his bangs hide.

*********************************************************

• Ils étaient ensemble bien avant que Sting soit Maître. Tout le monde était au courant mais personne n'a jamais rien dit et tant qu'ils faisaient leur travail Jiemma ne leur accordait pas d'attention particulière.

• Ils gardaient les contacts intimes pour quand ils étaient seuls et personne n'aurait rien su de leur relation si Sting n'avait pas fait une crise de jalousie à l'arrivé de Yukino à la guilde et qu'elle avait choisi Rogue comme ami (Au final elle était plus intéressée par Minerva et Sting s'est ridiculisé).

• Quand la guilde fut enfin un endroit où ils pouvaient être ensemble librement, Rogue en fut le plus heureux. principalement parce que maintenant ils pouvaient être eux-mêmes et qu'il n'avait plus à se retenir lorsque l'envie d'avoir Sting contre lui se faisait sentir.

• Rogue est le plus câlin des deux et cela est parfaitement Ok avec Sting.

• Ils avaient pour habitude de dormir dans deux chambres différentes. Principalement par rapport au fait qu'ils ont toujours vécu ensemble et que même si ils s'aiment, ils pensaient que c'était la meilleure chose à faire afin de garder un peu d'intimité. À la fin Sting fut celui qui vint s'installer dans la chambre de Rogue, se sentant seul sans son petit ami. Ils donnèrent la chambre de Sting à leurs exceeds.

• Ils se connaissent depuis l'enfance et ont toujours vecu ensemble mais cela ne veut pas dire qu'ils sont parfait ensemble. Après presque dix ans, Rogue se retrouvent toujours à crier après Sting à propos des vêtements qu'il laissent trainer partout et dont il ne prend pas la peine de mettre au sale. Et Sting continue à rouspéter après Rogue pour qu'il fasse les vaisselles qu'il oubli toujours de faire.

• Rogue aide Sting avec son poste en tant que Maître, principalement de la paperasse, puisque Sting n'a aucune patience. Et en échange Sting s'occupe étonnamment bien de garder la guilde en état et gère le Conseil. (Même si d'une manière ou d'une autre, il y a toujours un peu de chaos).

• Sting finit toujours par retrouver Rogue endormi sur le bureau. Il veille toujours à porter son petit ami jusqu'à leur domicile sans le réveiller.

• Sting le changera dans des vêtements plus confortable avant de le rejoindre dans le lit. À chaque fois Rogue trouve alors une manière de se retrouver pratiquement au dessus de Sting. Et ce dernier adore quand il le fait.

• Rogue préfère le thé même si il lui arrive de boire du café. Sting cependant, boit son café avec tellement de sucre, crème et autre sucreries qu'on ne peut plus vraiment appelé cela un café.

• Sting est accro aux boissons énergisantes mais Rogue veille à ce qu'il n'en ait pas. C'est un véritable désastre autrement.

• Rogue aime se faire les ongles et Sting met du eyeliner. Ils ont tout deux appris cela de Natsu quand ils étaient plus jeunes.

• La première fois qu'ils se sont embrassés, Sting avait raté les lèvres de Rogue. Pour sa défense ils étaient tout deux épuisés.

• Quand ils ont annoncé aux autres Chasseurs de Dragons qu'ils étaient ensemble, ils ont appris que leur petit secret n'en était finalement pas un "vous étiez toujours accroché l'un à l'autre depuis tout petit".

• Sting porte des crocs. Rogue déteste profondément cela.

• Rogue et Natsu se plaignent toujours du manque de style de Sting.

• Rogue a un piercing au nombril, à cause d'un pari stupide avec Sting, qu'il a perdu. C'est un petit Dragon. Il a également un anneau semblable à celui de Sting à l'oreille mais sa mèche cache le Bijou.

I would like to thank @jinx13gxa for the support, beta work and for adding at least half of the ideas to this headcanon !
