Rating: T+
Summary: She woke up having no idea about her past, a certain blue-haired man was in the same room with her, claiming she's his fiancee. Is he saying the truth? Should she believe him?
Note: There will be a lot of flashbacks, this involves a play on memory so it will go back and forth, in the past and present. I also don't do smut as it was embarassing to write and I don't have the experience.
Disclaimer: I do not own those of all relating to Fairy Tail, Dal Ja's Spring, Art of War, My Amnesia Girl, Veronica Mars, Romeo&Juliet and Athena.
Chapter 1.
It was a blurry sight... she slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was in a studio type apartment, divided with partition for a rather small kitchen, bedroom and living room. It has a clean interior but it feels more like a bachelor pad to her. She slowly rose from the queen-sized bed that she slept in, quietly observing and trying to figure out where she was.
"Oh, you're awake now." A baritone voice was heard from a man who came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a white v-neck shirt and boxer shorts, his chiseled abs and wide chest apparent in his thin shirt. He has a red intricate designed... was that a tattoo... or scar? on the right side of his face, from the upper part of his eye and extends to his cheek, she can't deny that he's ravishing, and currently wearing his sexy smile to her. "How was your head? Are you okay now?"
Her hand immediately shot up to her forehead and realized that part of it was bandaged and there was a tinge of pain from it. "Who are you?," she asked, the guy frowned and went to sit on the edge of the bed, in front of her. He smelled like fresh dew in the morning, and his breath smelled like mint. He observed her for a few seconds and then proceeded to ask more questions. "Can you remember your name? Who you are... What you're doing here..."
She tried to remember, confusion's apparent on her beautiful face and then she became exasperated, "I asked you first and you answered me with more questions, just tell me first who you are?!"
"Oh no lady, it was I who asked you first how you are feeling and you didn't reply with a responsive answer, answer first and then I'll tell you." He's now amused by her reaction. She's still as feisty as he remembers, he smiled inwardly at the thought. And she's really cute like that, with her bedhead red hair, and an attitude to boot.
"Fine. There's a tinge of pain in my head, still a little dizzy, and I can't remember anything, even my name. Now my turn. What happened to me and who are you?"
He stared at her, weighing her words. Then, an idea suddenly hit him, "Your name is Erza Scarlet, and I am your fiance` Jellal Fernandes. We are here in Seven for our vacation but I saw you unconscious on the pavement. It seemed like you slipped while you were out, reason for the gash on your forehead. Now, let's go to the doctor first to have your head checked."
"Ok-ay... That was a lot of information to handle. How can I be sure that you're telling me the truth?" Her voice full of suspicion. Jellal smirked at her, "Well, its up to you, but do you have a choice? As you can see, we are together. In this apartment. With only one bed." She sighed, "You have a point there. Let's see a doctor then like you said."
She waited for him to get dressed and they went to the doctor. The doctor told them that she has amnesia but assured them that it was temporary, only for a period of time. However, he cannot say for sure when will her memories return. It maybe a few weeks from now, but it can also take years.
Jellal frowned upon it but he thought that it was a good opportunity for him. A blessing in disguise. That may result to a more favorable result, if he play his cards right.

"Jellal, where are my clothes and other things?" Erza started looking at the apartment trying to find some clues about her past. She's got a nagging feeling that something is wrong, unfortunately, she can't pinpoint it as she can't remember anything. Although, she feels comfortable talking to Jellal as if she'd known him for a long time.
"Hey Erza, just relax. When I saw you, you don't have anything with you, even your wallet."
"But if we are here on vacation, my luggage is supposed to be here right? Your things are here. Are you sure we're a couple?" A hint of distrust evident on her voice.
Jellal sweatdropped, "Well... We went here separately because I have to also take care of some business. We are supposed to meet today at a cafe downtown but then, I saw you unconscious. It was lucky that I spotted you when I was on my way to the cafe, but, I didn't notice your luggage," he lied smoothly.
"What about my engagement ring? You said we're engaged."
He should think of his answer more carefully. She's as sharp as always. "I think you were robbed. You don't have your luggage, your wallet, even the ring I gave you. And that reminds me, that was expensive!" he exaggerately acted.
At that, she stopped asking questions. There's a limit of what she can take. She's still confused but she should also consider what Jellal was feeling right now. While she was in deep thought, he asked her if she's hungry as it was already dinner time. He also told her that they should shop for her clothes and things she needs.
She chose a few shirts, tops, jeans, shorts, dresses and some personal stuff as he told her that they'll be there for a while so she should buy some clothes enough for two weeks. She picked several and try the pieces while he waits for her to finish. After shopping, they had dinner, changed their clothes and went straight to bed as they were dead tired.
