Erza's P.O.V
I pulled out the keys to my apartment, yawning loudly. My right hand automatically cupped my lips as the yawn disappeared. Right then, the door managed itself open. Everyday, I came home to a dark empty home, with little company.
"I'm home" I joked as I turned on the living room lights. Not even a pet was present in the room. What an enjoyable life, wouldn't you think?
I passed the pictures on my wall as I dropped my bag on the floor, heading to the kitchen. Opening the fridge, I saw only vegetables, and lemon juice Lucy brought for me a week ago. Nothing was there for me to eat.
"Well I guess I'll have to stop at the super market tomorrow" I yawned heading for my bedroom. Instantly I slammed my body against the bed and fell asleep without a word. Work had gotten so heck tack. Some rumored that the Fairy Tail guild itself would completely come to an end. All the members have been fighting to keep their positions, and even took on the most dangerous missions to prove their inner strength.
Knock Knock Knock! I woke up to the sound of the front door being pound on. My eyes pried open as I pushed myself off the bed. I ran to the door peeking inside the peep hole. No one was there.
That's weird...
I opened the door, stepping out in the open hallway. No one could be seen from the left or the right. Suddenly a creaking sound was heard over head as I tilted my head upward to the ceiling. A darkened figure was launched towards me as I fell to the ground.
"Gah~" I mumbled as the heavier figure knocked me to the ground. I managed to get up and grab a near by chair.
"Who the hell are you?!" I shouted back at the blackened figure. It rested in the front door, and slowly approached me. The figure stopped inches away from the chair and pulled off its mask. What happened then, was the most devastating day of my life.
"Nice seeing you again...Erza" the male with darkened blue hair replied.
"What are you doing here Jellal?" I asked throwing the chair aside. The male followed me tossing his belongings on the living room couch.
"I'm sorry I scared you. But I had to be secretive about it"
"A simple 'knock at the door and wait' would have been nice!" I shouted watching him taken a back.
"My bad".
"What are you doing back in the city?" I asked once again crossing my arms. I hadn't seen Jellal since we had went our separate ways a year ago. I had completely moved on from him, with little memory of our time together.
"...people are after me Erza" he stated closing the front door. He became completely aware of his surroundings.
"I'm not suprised that people are after you" I rolled my eyes walking to the kitchen. The only thing I could make was lemon juice for him.
"I'm serous Erza. If I get caught, they'll for sure kill me" he pleaded. I slid the cup of lemon juice in his direction still watching him panic.
"So what do I have to do with this? You want me to fight them?" I asked crossing my arms.
"No. Absolutely not. I don't want you to get involve" he said extending his arms.
"Then what?"
"Let me stay here. Until my name is cleared and they forget about me. They know someone like you wouldn't house someone like me" he said desperately. I rethought the situation carefully.
"It's illegal to house a fugitive, especially since I am the greatest mage in Fairy Tail" I replied briefly.
"Please Erza. Please?" he asked begging on his knees. I watched him childishly pleading. It actually made me feel powerful.
"Fine. But if Fairy Tail finds out, then you're dead" I said turning to the master bedroom.
"Thanks Erza. You're still the best" he nodded. "Where are you going?" he asked as I disappeared in the room.
"Gonna shower. I stink" I complained.
The whole time in the shower, all I could think about was how this happened? Why did Jellal have to suddenly appear in my life? This wasn't the first time he had barged into my home seeking help...
The last time he asked for my help was a year and a half ago. He needed someones help to defeat a bounty hunter who was out to kill him, and no one in Fairy Tail wanted to help. The thing was, at the time, Jellal and I were dating. And of course I would do anything for him.
It was only when we separated, that I realized I needed to live and breath without Jellal by my side.
"What do you mean?" my heart was confused, but thumping louder and louder than before. His words were so irking to the ear.
"Let's just forget any of this ever happened" he stated.
"What ever happened?" I asked stomping my feet against the floor. I wanted answers, and I wanted them now!
"Us. This. We can't be together anymore Erza. What happened to the both of us?" he asked.
"What happened to YOU Jellal?!" I replied shedding tears.
"You can't live without me. It's annoying. Someone like you shouldn't be following in the footsteps of someone like me"
"...you've changed Jellal..." I whispered. Everything I knew about him was a lie now. The trust he promised, the caring and loving side of him he gestured to me. It was all a bitter lie.
"Are we going to fight?" he asked. "...because I don't want to fight".
"I don't either. But what's said is done. Just leave!"
The painful feeling was pounding against my chest again. I could exactly depict the day it happened. What it felt like, how furious I felt at the time. How much I cried the night after. Now he was back, to use me and help him stay alive.
I hated how he came back all of a sudden, when I had finally gotten over him...and wants my help once again?!
My shower ended, each drip of water, was a second of my life I wished wouldn't continue. Slowly I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a white towel around my body. It hugged tightly as I exited the bathroom.
"EEEKKK!" I shouted as I noticed the figure waiting in my bedroom.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I asked holding my towel against my chest. Jellal was confused, not understanding what he did wrong.
"What?" he asked casually.
"Get the fuck out!" I shouted hiding my embarrassment. Defensively raising his hands, he jumped off the bed and returned to the living room.
"He expects to make himself at home?!" I complained, grabbing my clothes to change.
A/N: Jellal please be good to Erza :( From here on, there will be Jerza drabbles on living together^^ Please await for updates! :D
