Okay, confession time: I kissed Erza Scarlet.

I know, I know, I had said all this stuff about not falling in love with someone who walks in the path of light, and I was trying to Erza safe, and this all hasn't changed, because I still am trying to keep her safe, and she won't be if I'm around her. I'm still a fugitive; I know that I won't be able to keep her happy, so it's better if she falls in love with someone else. Anyone. Like Gray. Although Erza's going to fall for Gray when pigs fly.

Me? My feelings don't matter. They stopped mattering the moment Zeref's soul touched me.

And right now I'm holding her in my arms and she's asleep, and I feel so warm and happy and amazing and I feel like I can take on a hundred dark guilds by myself and win-

Wait. Hold up. Before you get any ideas, I haven't had sex with her. She's in my arms and she's asleep because….she threatened to throw me out of the window if I didn't listen to her and 'do exactly as I tell you to!'

And I should really get going, but it feels so comfortable to just sit here and gaze at her perfect, porcelain features and long, red hair that reminds me of a sunset…

That's the happy part, the good part. The bad part?

The bad part is that I know how to erase someone's memory.

I should do it. I should perform that spell and make her forget about everything. About us. Even though it was just a kiss. Okay, scratch that, a full make out session. But then she'll think that we're dating, and as much as I do want that to happen, it doesn't change the fact that she'll still be in danger of getting locked up in prison if rumours somehow reach the Council's ears. And rumours travel fast.

Go away, Jellal! Go away before you do her any more harm than you already have!

That's the sensible and rational part of my brain speaking. Unfortunately, the sensible and rational part of my brain occupies only 0.1 per cent of my head.

Go on! Kiss her again! And don't you dare use that memory spell on her!

That's the other 99.9 per cent of my head. As you can clearly see, the sensible and rational part of my brain doesn't have much chance.

Ultear and Meredy are probably having the time of their life right now, seeing me so confused. It was agreed that when I would appear in Fairy Tail as Mystogan, either one, or both of them, would watch me from a crystal ball. 24/7. I managed to convince them to give me some privacy, with difficulty, like at the times when I go to the bathroom, or in the mornings when I have a shower. But I still put up a protective barrier, which prevents anyone from attacking me or from spying on me, whenever I go to the bathroom.

I should have put up one now.

Next morning…

She fixed me with a piercing gaze until I began to fidget. "What?" I said, trying not to look at her but failing miserably.

She didn't say a word but continued to stare at me like a zombie.

"Do you, um, remember, uh, anything?" I asked, fidgeting even more.

"I do."

Astonished by the blunt reply, I looked at her curiously. What would she do?

"I hope that you have not tampered with any of my memories."

"I-I haven't."

Her eyes narrowed down to brown slits but she said, "Good. I want to remember everything that happened yesterday."

Then it dawned on me.

She wanted to make sure that we had only kissed and not done anything more. Or, even if we had, she wanted to keep that memory with her. My thoughts began to jumble up. I might have even blushed a little bit.

….Okay, a lot, because she started laughing. She surprised me then, by kissing me lightly, and then promptly proceeded to shoo me out of her room and throw my mask at me.

I merely smiled and put it on.

A/N- Ohhkkaayy, according to me this was a pointless longish sort of drabble without any plot or sense of direction or anything, and if you've read it, then thank you.

Reviews? They make me happy. Do a good deed today and drop one in.
