good morning, jellal!

jellal's pretty bitter when he wakes up... i wonder why?

I can't win.

Why on earth did I give them the key. I'm such an idiot.

You know, normally, I suppose, at this age, you'd be smarter than to give guildmates the key to your house. Really, it was because I was nervous and in case anything happened to the two of them, they could come find me and didn't have to worry about fiddling with a locked door.

Well, that definitely backfired this morning.

I woke up this morning and, well, it was basically like every morning. Being part of an independent guild has its perks, of course, where we basically get to do whatever we want and have our own rules. But, we've only got three members. So our "guild" is my house. It's not like I had anywhere to go, or anything like that. Ultear, Meredy, and I were probably just going to investigate some hints of Zeref somewhere that were reported or go for a walk. They weren't supposed to come for quite a while, and I woke up pretty early. And because of that, I thought a little, uh… "Jellal Time" would be sufficient. Hey, why not? It's not like I had anything better to do!

Anyway, I was doing the do and I thought that I heard something outside my bedroom. What the hell? I did stop for a second, but I assumed no one was coming, so why should I be worried? I even looked at the clock. It was something like… oh, I don't know, four hours before Ultear and Meredy were supposed to come over. So there was no reason why I should stop, huh?

Yeah. Did I drink too much last night?

You know, the least they could've done was knock! If they had knocked, I would've had time to prepare! But God, they just… they just waltzed right on in!

The door practically flew open and there she was. "Jellal, we're here - OH MY GOD!" I saw long, black hair and bright pink hair and my face probably turned as pink as Meredy's hair. Holy shit. Holy SHIT!

I tried to dive under the covers, but it was too late. "Jellal, what are you doing?" Meredy asked me. She pulled at Ultear's arm. "What is he holding in his hand?"

Ultear was freakin' beet red. And she looked like she might keel over from suppressing her laughter. Oh, this is just fucking great. Great. Excellent. I love mornings. She patted Meredy's head. "Ha… ha, nothing Meredy, nothing! He's, uh…" Oh, so Ultear is trying to help my case? Shit, I don't have anything planned… "He's practicing magic, Meredy!"

Meredy looked at Ultear as if she had five heads. "Are you kidding me, Ul? Who practices magic underneath their covers?" Then she turned to me. "Man, Jellal, I knew you were weird, but come on." Ultear moved back a bit as Meredy inched towards me and she started chuckling as silent as she could. Then it hit me. Meredy, get the hell back!

I looked at Ultear, who was pleading with me to not drop the hint of what I was doing. So, out of options, I just followed her lead. "No, no she's right! I'm practicing magic!"

Meredy lifted an eyebrow and I sighed deeply, looking off to the side. "I call it, "The Rise of the Morning Star." Fuck? What the hell? Eh, at least I can make a joke of it.

And at that, Ultear broke down laughing, grabbed Meredy, and shut the door. Meredy still didn't understand. Good. Let her be pure as long as she can. Or at least not make mistakes like I do. Still, what the hell are they doing here? Ugh, I can't even consider that, because right now, I have bigger issues at hand.

I decided to just lie back on pillow and consider what I was going to do next. And then, it hit me, that I probably wouldn't be so alone if I didn't screw things up with Erza. And they'd probably give me more space, instead of suffocating me like they usually. God dammit. I can't do anything right.

Well, I'd say that hands down this was the worst. Fucking. Morning. Ever.

notes; hope you enjoyed it! :)
