Erza POV
I woke up feeling terrible. My stomach was rolling around and my throat was burning. I felt little waves if nausea passing over and I had a bad feeling that last nights dinner was going to come up.
I leaned over the bed to look at the clock. Great. It's 9 already. Today Natsu also challenged me to a rematch. I went downstairs to see Jellal watching TV.
"Good morning, Erza! Erza, you look terrible," he said.
"What do you mean? Is it my hair?" I said even though I knew what he meant.
"Never mind that, let's eat." He said.
The smell of eggs made me want to faint. He started eating while I just poked around at my strawberry cake, looking at it with disgust.
"Erza, are you okay?" He said.
"Yeah, just a small stomachache, but it'll go away," I lied.
I started wolfing down the food just so Jellal wouldn't be concerned.
"Yo, Erza, stop eating so fast you're gonna puke!" He said.
"Ohhh please don't mention puking," I said trying to swallow my upcoming vomit.
"I have to go to the guild today," I said just to keep clear of him. "Natsu challenged me to a rematch."
"Are you sure? Because you don't look very well," he said
"I'll be fine," I reassured him even though I wasn't gonna be fine.
"Ok then, see you later!" Jellal said blowing me a kiss.
"Bye," I said.
I made my way to the guild, but I threw up once into the drain near the guild. That way I wouldn't have to barf in front of everybody else. I went to the guild as a "fired up" Natsu greeted me.
"Yo Erza! You're late! Come on lets go lets go!" He said.
"Erza, what's wrong? You're really pale," said Natsu.
"I'm going to be alright." I said, "Plus, you're just afraid that you're gonna loose against me," I joked
"You wish." He smirked.
We go to the battle arena and Mira announced the start of the battle. I required into my Flame Empress Armor as Natsu struck me with a Fire Dragon's Roar. I brushed away the flames. Okay so now it's going okay.
"I see! So now I'm just gonna have to go physical!" Natsu said as he punched my shoulder. Good thing that wasn't my stomach. I used my sword to tease him by swinging it around making him dodge the shots, however, that caused my stomach to be a free target. I didn't react fast enough before he sent a huge punch to my stomach.
The blow sent dark spots to my eyes. I felt my stomach revolt as I expelled the contents of it all over the arena floor, gagging at the sour taste flowing out of my mouth.
"Erza!" Everyone shouted.
Wendy came up and cast a spell on my body. The nausea instantly passed away, but I was still weak and couldn't stop shaking.
"Erza-san," Wendy said.
"ERZA! WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME YOU WERE SICK?" Natsu yelled.
"I'll go get Jellal," Mira said.
Wendy crouched by my side as everybody stood baffled by what just happened.
The pain came back as my stomach failed to cooperate with the rest of my body as I dry heaved on the cool pavement.
Erza Scarlet. Titania. The woman who destroyed all 100 monsters at the Grand Magic Games is defeated by some stomach virus? How ironic.
"W-W-Wendy," I cough out.
"Yes?" She said, her voice so soothing.
"W-w-want... Jellal..." I stuttered.
As if right on cue, Jellal rushes over.
"Erza," he said as he sat with Wendy.
I closed my eyes and everything went black.
Jellal POV
I knew it. Something was wrong was Erza. I could see it in her attitude this morning of not eating the strawberry cake! I walked into her room to see her heaving over the waste basket. I sat next to her and patted her back.
"Jellal," she said hoarsley, "It's not coming out,"
"It'll be okay," I said to her. I put my hand on her head and took it back immediately.
"Erza, you're burning up," I said.
"Ohhh," I saw her face go a shade of green as she ran to the bathroom. Loud retching was heard and I cringed.
"Erza let me in," I said as I tried opening the locked door.
I heard the door unlock and saw a weak Erza sitting against the bathroom wall.
"Do you remember eating anything bad?" I asked her.
"No... " she mumbled.
Then it has to be the stomach virus! I saw her lean into the toilet and try to vomit, but nothing happened.
"Jellal..." she gagged and then I saw a small string of blood come out.
"Thats it, I'm getting Porlyusica." I said, "Can you stay here for a moment by yourself? I can get Wendy."
"Ok," she said, "but make it quick, because I don't think my stomach will hold up any longer."
I went to the guild and got Wendy to stay at home with Erza. I quickly ran to Porlyusica's place and after a long time of convincing, got her to come to our house.
"So. It's been a long time, Erza," she said.
"Grandeen- I mean Porlyusica-san!" Wendy said, "Can you help Erza-san?"
"I'll try my best." she said.
Erza POV
When Porlyusica finally came I was sweating. I couldn't bear it any longer.
"Erza you have to lay flat for me," she said looking at me.
I curled out of my fetal position and groaned at the pain.
"Jellal, what are her symptoms?" Porlyusica asked.
"Nausea, Stomach Cramps, and vomiting. Actually extreme vomiting." he said.
Porlyusica fed me some type of sleep potion so I wouldn't feel too bad. I'm so grateful for that!
Jellal POV
I looked at Porlyusica carefully as she treated Erza. I saw Erza grit her teeth in her sleep once in a while. Finally, she woke up and groaned again.
"It's going to be okay," I whispered into her ear as I kissed her.
"Jellal, don't come close, you'll catch it," she coughed out.
"Don't tell me that my potion didn't work," Porlyusica said as she examined the liquid in the flask,"Oops, I put too much of this herb,"
Erza quickly ran to the bathroom and slammed the door shut. However, this time no retching was heard.
"Erza please," I said soothingly, "Let us come in. We can handle your vomiting."
"Ugh, fine but only you," she groaned.
"Wendy, could you help me with this potion? Jellal can go with Erza," Porlyusica said.
I went into the bathroom and leaned next to Erza. She laid down and asked me to rub her tummy.
I started rubbing in small circles and felt the tension in her stomach decrease a bit. She was coughing pretty hard, too. I laid down next to her and kissed her, telling her she would feel better.
"Don't kiss me, you'll catch it too!" she said.
Finally Porlyusica took the potion inside and made Erza drink it.
"I feel so much better," she said, although she told me later on that her stomach was still sore and she was still coughing.
"It's gonna be a great day tomorrow!" She said as she stretched and coughed into my face, "Oops sorry,"
"It's ok," I said, "Wow, it's late. Let's sleep, Erza. Thank you so much, Porlyusica and Wendy,"
"Glad to be of service!" Wendy said as they left. I went into bed with Erza and we slept peacefully for the rest of the night.
Erza POV
Wow. I feel so much better! Problem is, I woke up last night at 4 in the morning as I heard retching sounds echo across the whole house. A small light was turned on in our bathroom. Yep, that's right. Jellal was right there heaving up the contents of his stomach. I knew he would catch it from me.
"Told you so," I laughed.
"Screw you Erza..." he croaked as his face was once again hidden by the porcelain bowl.
Well, today's gonna be a long day.
