Kissogram: A message delivered with a kiss, usually presented by someone in cosplay.

For the sake of this fic, the term shall be interpreted as referring to the person. I came up with this idea after re-watching (again) Doctor Who. Since Amy is a redhead, this story will not be my usual NaLu, but rather, focused on a certain sassy redhead. Yes, I know a Halloween themed fic is late, but… Meh

Enjoy and don't forget to leave your love afterwards.

Faie.

Kiss 1

Erza leaned back into the smooth leather backrest of her armchair and rested her chin on a fist. Her long legs crossed, and the slit of her black pencil skirt split apart to reveal the thin black belt of her garter. She twiddled a pencil between her fingers, her brows arching in surprise as she listened to the voice on the speaker.

"8pm? Why is it starting so late?"

"How is 8 considered late? Besides, the night is when everything starts getting fun."

"You do know that unlike some people, I have to work on weekdays. And yet, you still chose to organize your party on a Thursday night."

"Aww, c'mon Erza! Let up once in a while."

"Lucy-"

"I'm not taking no for an answer. You are coming to my Halloween party and that's final."

"… I don't have a say in this, do I?"

"Nope." The blonde snickered evilly, though she tried (and failed) to muffle it.

Erza sighed heavily and tapped the pencil against the glass top of her desk. "Why do you always drag me into things like this?"

"Because you're boring, and you haven't an iota of something people call a social life. Tell me, Erza. When was the last time you got laid?"

The redhead sputtered and sat up quickly in her seat. "Wh-! Th-that's none of your business, Lucy. And it wasn't even that long ago! There was that brunette-"

"What brunette?"

"Y'now… The one with the green eyes and the plaid shirt…"

Lucy gritted her teeth on the other side of the conversation. "Erza! That was seven months ago! Don't tell me you haven't met anyone new since then."

Erza groaned. "I can't help being busy all the time. This business isn't going to run itself."

She could almost hear the blonde rolling her eyes. "You aren't the CEO for nothing. You have hundreds of people slaving under you. Can't you just take some time off for yourself once in a while?"

"The brunette-"

"Seven. Months. Ago. You would have so much more free time if you'd just stop being so paranoid. Don't focus on the minor things that others can easily handle. Isn't that what my fiancé and the other guys there at Fairy Tail are meant to do? Listen and obey your every whim and wish?"

"Well, yes… Speaking of which, I didn't see Natsu in his office today. Is he sick today?"

"Sick? What do y-"

Lucy suddenly gasped and whipped her head away from the phone. Erza winced when the blonde's voice suddenly shot up nearly a hundred decibels.

"NATSU, YOU BUM! YOU TOLD ME ERZA GAVE YOU AN OFF – DAY TODAY!"

There was a smacking sound followed by a muffled male groan. "Luce, stop yelling… My head hurts enough as it is."

"You hung over idiot! I told you to- Gaaah! I'll deal with you later mister!"

Lucy gave an embarrassed cough before returning to the phone. "Sorry you had to hear that, Erza."

The redhead chuckled understandingly. "That's fine. I'll just take you up on your advice and delegate the miscellaneous duties to Natsu once he returns next Monday."

"Hmph. Go ahead. That idiot deserves it. I've told him a million times not to go drinking with Gray on a weekday night."

Erza laughed against the back of her hand. She hadn't seen Gray yet either. Maybe it was time to ring up a certain blunette.

"In any case, Erza. I expect to see you next Thursday anytime after 7:30pm. Costumes are mandatory. Feel free to come as nude as you want-"

"Lu-!"

"But have the decency to cover up the important parts." The blonde laughed again. "There will food, booze, and enough chaos to tear the roof down the house. Who knows, you might even meet someone. Natsu has invited a lot of his friends from his university fraternity."

"I should have known you were trying to set me up…"

"You need m-"

"Yeah yeah. I need men in my life." Erza sighed in exasperation. "I'll be there."

"Fantastic. Now, are you bringing someone?"

"Wasn't I going there to meet someone?"

"Touché. See you, Erza! Wear something sexy!"

She had worn something sexy. Or at least, she hoped that it was sexy.

Erza tugged down the hem of her very short, very tight skirt again as she stepped up to the porch of the semi-detached house that was the Dragneel – Heartfilia abode.

The sky had already blackened into night but the street was anything but dark. Sitting along the pavements and walls of the houses were rows upon rows of pumpkins carved into freakish faces of all kinds, and lit from within using small candle cups. Strips of black cloth hung from windows and steel gates and flapped in the cool night wind. All the windows in the house were brightly lit and the redhead could clearly hear music booming from within, coupled with cheerful voices and drunken hollering.

She stood there on the curb, wondering if she should press the doorbell, but finally deciding against it. No one would hear it anyway. The redhead turned the knob and walked into the antechamber of the house.

Instantly, her senses were assailed with the bitter aroma of alcohol and the flashing lights as people waved light sticks and cameras flashed. A sudden urge to leave came over her and the woman backed away again only to gasp when someone suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Erza! You're here! Lucy was wondering when you'd arrive."

"O-oh. Hi, Levy."

The small blunette was grinning up at her in an angel costume, consisting of a white and gold rimmed tunic, furry wings and a plastic halo. "You just got here?"

"Yeah… Where's Lucy and Natsu? I want to say hi to them first."

"Uh… I'm not sure where Natsu is, but the last time I saw Lu – chan she was in the living room talking to the girls."

"Thanks, Levy."

"No probs." The blunette wandered off, a glass of sparkling liquid in her hand.

Erza jostled past the crowds that were pooling in the hallway and found Lucy by the fireplace, in an animated discussion with Juvia and the Strauss sisters.

Lucy was Cleopatra in a black strapless dress that hung till mid thigh, gauze drapes on her arms and gold-plated head and belt pieces. Juvia had come as a siren, in a tube top of shimmery silk, faux seaweed twisted through her blue hair and a scale patterned floor length skirt that glued itself to her slender legs. The Strauss sisters were cosplaying as the evil Stepsisters, in mildly gothic makeup, form fitting dresses with low cut bodices and costume jewelry. The blonde leaped from her seat the moment the redhead walked into view.

"Erza! You made it! I was wondering if you had decided to bail on me."

"I promised to come, so here I am." The redhead smoothened down her outfit and turned on the spot. "What do you guys think?"

"Juvia likes it. It shows up Erza – san's figure very nicely. Especially that skirt, yum." The blunette nodded approvingly.

Lucy walked around the redhead, eyeing her up and down. "A sexy police officer? Suits your character, Erza. What's this name tag on your blouse…?"

The blonde's eyes widened and she looked up at the redhead, grinning naughtily. "Officer Kissogram, Erza? My my…"

The redhead sucked in her cheeks. "I stole the idea from a Tv show."

"What's a kissogram?" Lisanna asked curiously.

"It means we're going to have a rather interesting party tonight." Her sister giggled, biting into a pig in the blanket. The blonde and the blunette latched themselves onto the redhead and tugged her down onto the couch between them. Lucy pushed a nearly full glass of champagne into Erza's hand and smirked.

"So… Have you found your first target?"

"Huh?"

"Since Erza – san's dressed the part, she might as well play the part too! Juvia saw a handsome vampire by the kitchen."

"Eeew, no! His cape is gaudy. I'll introduce you to the right men. Now, the handsome ones here tonight are the werewolves, mad scientists and um… I remember seeing one rather sexy Al Capone. Take your pick."

"Don't go for the zombie in the red shirt. Juvia thinks his breath smells really, really bad."

"Uh, I…"

"How about the Zorro?"

"Which Zorro? There are three Zorros here tonight, Mira – nee."

"The one with the painted on shirt." The girls instantly burst into tipsy laughter.

The silver – haired beauty giggled and shrugged. "What? He has very nice abs."

"Who has very nice abs? Yo, Erza. You're late." A male voice from rang out behind them.

"Hey sweetheart. You guys having fun?" Cleopatra smiled up at her Marc Antony, who was in a red shirt, metal chest plates and a knee length tunic.

"You bet. You planned an awesome party, Luce. Remind me to reward you after everything's over."

Natsu leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, cupping the back of her head with a hand. The blonde giggled against his mouth and caressed his cheek as she stood up and pressed her body to his, her other hand tangling itself in his messy hair. Juvia imitated a gagging action, to which her audience snickered.

"Oh don't be childish. You guys do far worse in public."

The blonde spoke against his lips before resuming the kiss, only to suddenly cring. The blonde moved away from Natsu and withdrew her hand from his hair.

"Why do you have grass in your hair?"

The male laughed, embarrassed. "Yeah, about that. Long story…"

Lucy rolled her eyes and looped her arms around the policewoman's. Erza's eyes widened as the blonde grinned up at her, her breath sweet from far too much fruit wine.

"Now. Let's find you some fun, Erza!"

Before his fiancée could lead their friend away, Natsu grabbed her arm. "Luce, wait."

"What is it? I'm busy."

Erza's chest heaved in relief at the postponement of her doom but the feeling was interrupted the moment she heard the next words that left the male's mouth.

"You're looking to match Erza up, right? I have someone right here."

"God damn it. This stupid shirt is itchy." Gray Fullbuster scratched at his bare chest, groaning aloud in annoyance.

"What shirt? You scrapped your shirt hours ago." The pink haired Roman replied snarkily, tugging self-consciously at the leather waist flaps.

"Who'd you call stupid, you charcoal brained fo- Wait... When the hell did that happen?! Craaaaap! Juvia is going to kill me if I lose part of the costume."

The trio of males rolled their eyes in unison as they watched their friend freak out and dash away to look for his missing pirate shirt, his boots pounding across the grassy lawn. Natsu cursed when the male nearly bumped into a scarecrow.

"Icicle head, don't knock over any of the decorations! Lucy will go crazy!"

"How can Gray call himself a Man if he loses his own clothing so easily? He needs more training. " The silver haired werewolf muttered as he propped his legs up onto the now vacated chair that Gray had left behind.

"Doesn't matter. He'll never learn."

The third male sighed as he leaned against the picket fence. The male slid one hand into the pocket of his white lab coat and chugged down the rest of the beer before flinging the empty can into the trash bag hanging from the lawn chairs.

He dug his hand through his messy blue hair, and readjusted the non-prescription glasses he had on. A sudden movement to his left caught his attention, and he turned to greet his guest only to be smacked hard on his back. The male sputtered and turned his head up to glare angrily at the culprits.

Two women were standing there grinning at him. One had straight black hair and brown eyes, dressed as the Red Queen in a red and black checkered Elizabethan dress, and the other with wavy pink hair and dressed as the White counterpart in a cream and ivory gown.

"Hey, Jellal. Have you been hiding out here this whole time? No wonder we haven't see you all evening."

"You didn't have to hit me so hard, Ul."

"Can't help it. You make a good punching bag."

The male groaned and rubbed his sore back. "Damn you."

She shrugged, grinning. "So, what are you supposed to be? An over worked doctor?"

"I'm a mad scientist, idiot. Can't you see the stains on the coat and my messy hairstyle?"

The brunette scoffed. "Your hair is always messy."

"Hey! Whatever. You guys here by yourselves?"

"Of course. The whole point of Halloween parties is to pick up sexy strangers. What's the point if we bring dates?"

"Speaking of which, Ul. Here they come. See ya, Jellal!"

"Huh? You two are leaving already?"

Meredy nodded as she pointed over where a vampire and a Green Lantern were waiting by the street.

"We're going to get drinks at the nearby bar. You wanna come with?"

"Don't be ridiculous. I have no intention of being the fifth wheel."

"OK then, see you next week!"

"You two aren't going to work tomorrow?"

The girls merely responded with laughter as they waved goodbye and disappeared out the gate. The male sighed and was just about to return to the house for more food when another movement by the gate caught his attention.

A policewoman was walking up the pavement to the house where she paused on the porch, her hand raised to the doorbell. His brown eyes widened appreciatively as he ran his gaze down her body.

The woman was tall, with a stunning hourglass body and red hair that burned like banked fire underneath the yellowish pumpkin lights. Her blue blouse was tight, molding itself to her full chest and slender waist and the tiny skirt that accompanied barely covered half her thighs.

Not that he was complaining. Her fishnet stocking-ed legs were amazing. From this distance he couldn't discern her eye colour but some part of him wished it was brown.

The male found himself standing up and taking a step towards her when Natsu suddenly stumbled backwards into him, almost stomping on his foot. Jellal jumped back in surprise as he watched the still – shirtless pirate tackle the Roman onto the ground.

"Give me back my shirt, flame brain!"

"No way, go look for it yourself."

"Bastard!"

"You looking for a fight, asshole?!"

Jellal poked Elfman in the arm, his finger pointed towards the pair wrestling on the grass. "What's going on?"

The larger male snorted. "Natsu's being un-Manly childish as usual. He hid Gray's shirt and now refuses to give it back."

"Another one who never learns, huh?"

The blunette sighed, the corner of his lips quirking up in amusement as the two battled on the lawn, both refusing to give in. Natsu had drawn his prop sword and was attempting to stab Gray, who in turn swung his hooked hand whenever Natsu came too close.

Jellal gasped when he suddenly remembered the female. He turned around quickly but the porch was now vacant except for a small group standing by the side laughing amongst themselves. None of whom were redheaded and had ridiculously sexy legs.

"Damn it."

"What is it?" Elfman glanced down at him curiously.

"Nothing. Just… there was this babe standing there just now…"

"What's she look like?"

"Uh… Tall, redheaded and really well, hot."

Elfman's blue eyes widened as he stared down at the male. "A redhead?"

"Yeah. What? You know her?"

Elfman shuddered visibly, and Jellal's brow arched. Did the male actually look scared?

"Yeah. I know her. I think you're referring to Erza Scarlet."

"Scarlet? Interesting name." The colour of her hair was scarlet. "Wait, isn't that your boss's name?"

"Yeah. Lucy's good friends with her so she's been invited."

Jellal scratched the side of his neck distractedly and he seemed to ponder over something before looking up again.

"Can you introduce me to her?"

Elfman's blue eyes couldn't get any wider. "You want to get to know Erza?!"

"Uh… Yeah…?"

"What's this, what's this? Jellal's interested in Erza?"

Natsu suddenly popped up beside them, grinning widely. Gray was climbing to his feet behind him as he brushed off grass and sand from his bare chest and pants.

Jellal's brows creased. "Does that sound so impossible?"

"No, that's not what we meant." Gray laughed and waved his hand. "It's just that Erza has a rep for a demon at work. None of the guys really dare to stand up to her."

"Is she that bad? Maybe I shouldn't…"

"Don't be stupid! I'll introduce you guys!" Natsu laughed, as he hooked his arm around Jellal's and quite literally, dragged the taller male towards the porch. Stumbling forward, the male tugged his arm free from Natsu's.

"I can walk by myself. You don't have to lead me."

"Yeah yeah. C'mon."

The group of four stepped through the doorway and Jellal was instantly reminded why he had retreated to the lawn in the first place. The music and lights were quickly giving him another headache. Weaving their way through the house, the trio leading him poked their heads into the different rooms.

"Ice face, you see her?"

"Nope. How about you?"

"Nah, she's not in the kitchen. Elfman?"

"Nope. Try the living room. Maybe she's with my sisters."

"Erza… Erza… Erza… Ah! She really is in the living room. Good job, Elfman."

"A Man always finds what he is looking for."

"And I see someone else too." The pink haired Roman smirked and sped up.

Gray, Elfman and Jellal stood by the hallway entrance to the living room as their friend walked up to his fiancée and pulled her up for a passionate kiss. Elfman nudged the half naked pirate.

"Juvia's there too. You aren't going to say hi?"

"Without my shirt? Are you crazy? She'd jump me in front of everybody." Gray replied sarcastically.

Jellal stood beside them, as he watched the redhead, Erza, sitting with her friends. She laughed when the blunette mimicked a gagging action and her face crinkled up in humour.

God, she was cute.

And leaving. Natsu's fiancée was about to pull her away when Natsu suddenly grabbed her arm. The male smirked at the blonde and pointed towards the general direction of the guys.

"You're looking to match Erza up, right? I have someone right here."

Gaaah! I've been planning to start on this two/three shot since forever! Finally…

Don't forget to drop your love in the box below!

Faie.
