Chapter ???: Christmas chapter
(This is not chapter 5 and doesn't have a specific time that it takes place yet. also happy holidays everyone).
Today was Fioremas day and Rogue was so excited because of 2 things. First, he was invited to a party with a few of Sting’s friends to celebrate and have fun. Rogue wasn’t a very social person, he wasn’t like other guys, while they went out and partied, played ball and kissed girls or boys, Rogue was different, he stayed inside and read books about dragons with his cat frog and most of all, he didn’t kiss anyone, not yet at least. And second, most importantly, he got a whole lot of books on dragons that he could read, and he was so excited, nobody would see him until the new year because he would be in his room all day reading his new dragon books.
After about 3 hours of talking to his cat frog Fresh about dragons, the time of the party arrived. Rogue decided to tie his hair up in a messy bun and wore a scarf of tinsel for the Fioremas spirit. Another gift Rogue received was a tshirt with a really cool dragon on it, so he wore that under his jacket. He would die of embarrassment if anyone saw it because in bold text it said “I closed my dragon book to be here”, and while he liked it he knew normies like Sting’s friends wouldn’t. Rogue entered Sting’s house, where the party took place. It was so big compared to Rogue’s apartment, and It was fully decorated too, he really was fully prepared for the party. He headed to where he heard the most noise and there were so many people, it scared Rogue, he barely recognised most of them. Then he saw Sting across the room and suddenly called out louder then expected, “Hi Sting!”. He blushed with embarrassment as everyone stopped talking and looked at Rogue, with the exception of Yukino, one of Rogues classmates, who was talking to her boyfriend who Rogue wasn’t quite familiar with. She remembered her talking about him in class and saying he was from quite far away.
Sting looked to Rogue and grinned “Hey Rogue! Glad you could make it! Come on over and talk with us!”.
Rogue blushed and walked over to Sting and the people he were talking to and froze the moment he saw Bullyslow, he was wearing some ugly outfit with some weird hat with a hole in it. Rogue decided to ignore Bullyslow and tried his best to talk to Sting, Sting was just so cool that it was hard not to zone out staring at his face. However, Rogue held strong and managed to contribute to the conversation and even went 5 minutes without bringing up dragons.
At one point, Bullyslow was feeling angry that Sting and Rogue got along so well, so he ‘accidentally’ spilled his drink on Rogues jacket. “Whoopsie! Sorry dude, let me help with that” he said, pulling it off. Bickslow had originally intended to just show Sting that Rogue was really weak, he had no idea about the tshirt beneath it, but when he saw it he burst out laughing and Sting leaned down to read it.
“I closed my dragon book to be here!” Sting exclaimed reading the tshirt, “Typical Rogue, your so funny aren’t you?” he said, ruffling Rogue’s hair and making his messy bun even messier.
Rogue grinned and blushed, watching Bullyslow seethe with rage. That was the last straw for Bickslow, so he took out his ultimate weapon, a stick with a mistle toe on it. It was Fiore tradition that the two men that stand under a mistle toe must kiss, which was why Bickslow’s hat had the hole in it. He put the Mistle Toe into the hole in his hat and blushed, twirling imaginary hair in his finger, “Hey Stingy… look up…” he said
Sting looked up and gasped at the Mistle toe. He blushed himself out of embarrassment as Bickslow puckered up and leaned in, but then Sting found a loop hole, as both bickslow Rogue and Sting were under the Mistletoe, so he looked Rogue in the eyes with a smile, Rogue blushed and closed his eyes as Sting picked him up…
And that was how Rogue got his first kiss… he opened his eyes and… BICKSLOW?!?!? Sting wasn’t very smart, so his plan was actually to get Rogue to kiss Bickslow instead of him. Bickslow squealed and pointed at rogue, “Y- you baka! Pervert! U- UWU” he said before rushing out of the room in tears. That was the most memorable Christmas Rogue would have until next year.
