Leans his head on her shoulder and gives a tired little nuzzle. "You don't gotta stay up with me like this all the time ya' know." his words silenced by a yawn as he shifted a little closer. "You should get some sleep..."

【★】 Having been dozing partially, Yukino’s heavy lids eased open as her vision waded with varying visibility. Upon the light nuzzle, she released a soft little moan and eased to an upright position whilst raising her petite hand to cover her mouth as she yawned.  

 ❝Ah, Master Sting...?❞ She murmured, voice laced with fatigue. ❝You’re still awake? Y-You should get to bed...!❞ 

She knew he was unbelievably busy with his work as Guild Master, but Yukino couldn’t stop herself from staying by his side to keep him company. It destroyed her sleeping schedule and yet, each night when she finally bid him goodnight, she was still the first wizard to enter Sabertooth’s empty halls. With yet another yawn, Yukino glanced over at him as she took in his exhausted features. And then, a small smile decorated her normally timid lips. ❝Master Sting...❞ She spoke out, reaching over and enveloping his wrist with her hands. 

❝Perhaps you should come sleep as well? I-It isn’t healthy for you, either. You’re our Guild Master—we need you in tiptop condition. So, please...❞  Her tone laced with concern. And yet, underlying that demeanor had been a demand which was uncharacteristically rare for the Celestial Wizard.

❝Why don’t we both head to bed?❞

I am almost certain this is how it went

【★】 ❝So, if you don't mind, I'll decline attending. Perhaps another time…❞

Taking a step back from her door, Yukino stared up at the larger male with what broken smile still plastered on her soft features. It still amazed her that Sting was even talking to her—since she rarely left her room, she hadn’t spoken to many of her fellow wizards. She still felt a little out of place since she was back in Sabertooth—Lady Minerva had taken off after her loss to Erza during the Grand Magic Games leaving her without the source to her previous confidence. Rufus had occasionally popped in and made decent conversation, but she had always kept mostly to herself during their little so-called talks. She had been fully ready to close her door but the order from Sting had caught her by surprise.

❝Stop? M-Master Sting…❞ She started to speak, clearly astonished by that sudden snap. She had fully expected him to just wave her off and leave, but for him to stay and then start scolding her? It was unexpected! 

As he began to speak, Yukino took a timid step backwards as she covered her chest with both of her hands as they interlocked. Did he really believe she wasn’t a burden? Jiemma made sure to let her know each time she made the smallest fumble. ❝I-I am a member of Sabertooth, but I…❞ Yukino responded, looking away from the angry blond. ❝I do not desire to be an embarrassment to Sabertooth once again. I already humiliated Sabertooth back in the Grand Magic Games...❞

She found it rather hard to believe that he was willingly inviting her to the gathering. While she had accepted his apology during the banquet, Yukino hadn’t forgotten the comments and laughter from the entire guild during her excommunication. She had been stripped naked of both her pride and her confidence in the mere minute it had taken her to bare her naked frame to every member of Sabertooth. Something like that just doesn’t go away after a few days—she had vivid nightmares about the even and honestly felt herself growing rather emotional at the thought. Reaching up and wiping a stray tear that had formed on the edge of her eye, Yukino allowed her gloved hand to fall back to her chest as she locked eyes with him for a moment.

❝Master Sting, I ask that you please reconsider…❞ Yukino lamented, taking yet another step back. Yukino most definitely knew how stubborn Sting was and this was going to be yet another battle she would inevitably lose. However, she visibly flinched once that authorities tone bellowed out from his lips and she bowed her head instinctively. And there it was—the order to come. Yukino released a defeated sigh as she pulled her hand from her bosom and interlocked them below her waist and gave him a bow. Unable to find the willpower to argue with him, Yukino seemed to submit to his demands—it wasn’t in her nature to begin with and she couldn’t bear the thought of him snapping at her. ❝A-As you wish, Master Sting…❞ She softly spoke, her voice nary higher than a whisper of wind.

❝Give me a moment a-and I will be ready, Master Sting.❞ With that, she closed her door quietly and walking over to one of her dressers, Yukino plucked her elegant cape up and wrapped its large embrace around her petite frame. Brushing her silvery blue locks to the side and making sure her ebony rose had been in place, she glanced over at her reflection within the mirror that had lazily lay against the wall. A solemn, broken gaze stared back at her with resentment but she shook her head and turned away. Let’s get this over with… She thought to herself, attempting to disregard her nervousness. Opening her door, she saw Sting still sitting there akin to a small child whom had gotten put in time out. Her nervously furrowed brows seemed to relax for a moment—it was kind of cute how he tended to act, despite being Guild Master.

❝S-Shall we?❞  She questioned, attempting to give him a smile as she took a step back in order to give him some space.

Quietly pacing back and forth in front of the room in which the young woman dwell, the blond contemplated how to approach her. Given this whole Guild Master thin was still new, he wasn’t exactly sure on how to handle situations. “Alright… you just gotta get in close.” he curved his fingers into a fist holding it quite close to the surface of the door. “And knock…” Mocking the motion, something making a noise caused him to startle and he in turn ended up knocking on her door. Crap!

Eyes shifted about in panic as he took in a heavy breathe. He couldn’t just knock and dash away right? I mean if this were a few years ago and he was still a kid then maybe it would work, but not now. ‘For heaven’s sake get yourself together Sting, you are the freakin’ guild master now!’ he chanted within his mind a few times. 

Eyes narrowed in the direction of the door, as he cleared his throat. “Uh… Yukino, you in there?” he blinked at his tone, just at that given moment he heard his freakin’ voice crack. Of all the rotten luck! Anyways. Sting shifted a bit in place. 

“Yea so uh… if you are like, we are having a little get together in the back courtyard, figured you’d like to come…” furrowing his brows he cringed at how he sounded right now. “I mean you don’t have too, but you can?” damn it why weren’t words working. “Cause everyone wants ya’ there and stuff.” 

Rubbing at the back of his head the very awkward blonde took a few steps backwards, deciding to wait for her answer.

【★】 For the most part, silence had reigned supreme within the barren room of the celestial maiden.

Given all of that mess with Jiemma after her loss to Kagura and the full-blown brawl during the dance, Yukino had been an emotional wreck. It had been almost impossible coming to terms with what had transpired—Sting had actually apologized to her! Not only that, he had personally requested her to come back to Sabertooth. It had taken her a few days, but she had accepted his offer to return. It had definitely surprised many of the others whom had vied for her. Under Jiemma’s unwavering iron and strict regime, she had found a home within Sabertooth.

Despite all of that, it still felt so odd to be back in her old room! A large majority of her things were still in boxes save for her clothing which had all been neatly folded and laid out along her various dressers. However, a sudden knock startled her out of her idle reminiscing. ❝Who could that be?❞ She questioned, pulling her hand to her voluptuous chest as she eased off of her mattress. Her bare feet lightly tapped against the dark wooden floors of her room and she came to a stop before the door. Her petite hand reached forth to grasp the golden handle, but she went rigid the instant that familiar voice spoke out.

M-Master Sting…? She mentally panicked and took a nervous step back. What on Earthland is he doing here?

Keeping silent, Yukino listened to him speak—at least he wasn’t kicking her back out for being useless. As he went on in a rather anxious tone of voice, Yukino took in his words with a sudden drop in her subconscious. So, they were all having some kind of party? He is only just asking me out of courtesy. It is clear he doesn’t want me there… She reassured herself, her brows furrowed while her expression became one of melancholy. Once he finished, Yukino fought against her nervousness and grasped the handle before easing the door open just a smidgen. ❝Oh, I see.❞ She spoke, opening her door a bit more as she gave him a respectful bow. She gave him a broken little smile before she would speak once again.

❝I would…I'd rather not be in the way, as I usually tend to be.  I wouldn’t like to impede on a gathering such as that with my presence. Thank you for the invitation Master Sting. It was very kind of you to waste your valuable time asking someone like me.❞
