An Au FIC….
Jellal will more likely behave as Siegrain as I liked him even more when he was all cocky and badass…

Erza slowly stirred her drink as she glanced at her surroundings and sighed. She sipped on it slowly as she tapped her fingers lightly on the counter. She thought that coming here would change her mood but no. She didn't feel a tad bit better than she did four days ago.
Flashback:
Erza Scarlet is your ordinary 26 year old working woman. She was the news reporter in one of the leading news channel Tokyo Times. Erza was also referred to as Titania due to her reputation of being a fearless crime reporter. She have undergone several life-risking missions courtesy of getting a new story. She was coined by the nickname when she went to Syria and risked her life while reporting about the native's condition. She was shot just above her hip bone two years back, but she managed to survive that one. She also have a strict personality and can be intimidating at times.
But if you managed to know her better, you will learn that she was sweet and caring at heart. Just like the present scenario. She was seen happily skipping over the streets as she saw his face. She smiled and waved her hands at her fiancé as he returned the gesture.
"Happy birthday Sweetie!"
She merrily wished as she placed a quick kiss on his lips while he chuckled.
"Thanks Erza. "
Simon was the chief editor of Tokyo times and they both fell in love three years back, when they worked on a story together.
"Ahh, here is the story report you asked me to bring and your latte with 15% whipped cream, less calories and as for your birthday, you are supposed to come home at 8 o'clock.."
"Woah slow down Erza.."
He told her as she took in a deep breathe and grinned nervously. Erza always wanted everything to be perfect. Absolutely perfect.
"I will be on time don't worry. I have something important to talk to you anyway."
With a small kiss on her cheek he bid her goodbye as he got in his car and left.
Erza frowned a bit as she saw him hurry away but shrugged it off and didn't pay much attention to it.

Erza wiped off her head after she placed the cake on the table and smiled. She was quite content with the decorations as she took a quick look around her. She have invited all of their close friends for the celebration today as they were all busy chatting along.
A loud jingle of the doorbell announced that her fiancé was back, as she quickly hushed them all to hide and switched off the lights. Even though he knew of his surprise party beforehand but..it was Erza after all.
She slowly skidded towards the door and opened it with a smile on her lips as she stepped outside.
"Simon I.."
"Erza, I want to break off this engagement. I don't think I can do it."
Her smile faded away quickly as soon as those words were out. On the cue, their hall was lit up again as everyone gasped and stood up. Simon's eyes widened as he noticed their friends and family members before gasping.
"I thought the party was..held somewhere else and..and I didn't know."
He felt ashamed of himself as he saw Erza beginning to tremble a bit.
"Why?"
She whispered as he shook his head.
"It's not you. It's just, I don't think I can live the rest of my life with someone as bossy and uhm..boring as you. You are an amazing woman at heart but you are not the one for me."
Erza then dropped down on the ground as she felt herself tearing up at his words. Her best friend Mirajane was quick to rush at her side as she hugged her tightly.
"Erza, no…Don't cry. I am here for you."
Simon scratched his head as he cleared his throat and tried to walk away from there.
"So..Yeah, I will be going now, I have some work to do. I will come back later when your guests will leave. Also, ahem..Erza, since it's technically my place so you should clear out your belongings soon."
"Hey Simon.."
He turned his head and paused when he saw Mirajane walking over to him with a sickenly sweet smile on her face.
'Wonder what she wants.'
She kicked him hard in his shin as he doubled over when the wave of pain jolted his body while Mirajane cracked her knuckle.
"And that's for making Erza cry. I hope you and your tiny dick rot in hell."
With that Mira walked back in the apartment after helping a miserable Erza on her feet.

It was already one week since that incident but Erza was still busy sulking in the corner. She have moved back in her old apartment just two days ago but she was yet to unpack. Mirajane sighed as she saw her friend lying on the bed with dry tears as she sat besides her. She have brought her favourite strawberry cake to cheer her up but even that didn't do the trick.
"Come on sweetie…It's just fresh out of your favourite bakery shop. You don't wanna spoil your favourite strawberries now, would you?"
Erza merely groaned and hid her face in the pillow as Mira narrowed her eyes and forcefully lifted her upper body.
"LISTEN TO ME DAMN RIGHT ERZA SCARLET! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MOPE AROUND THE FLOOR LIKE THIS ANYMORE. WE ARE GOING ON A FUCKING AMAZING VACATION TO CHEER YOU UP. GOT IT?"
There was no declining Mirajane when she was pissed off, even Erza was afraid of her then. So, she meekly agreed and nodded. Mira's mood did a total 360 degree as she smiled brightly at her and clasped her hands together.
'Talk about being bipolar.'
"Great! So, I have already made plans and we are going to Vegas for a week."
"What?"
Erza was shocked at her revelation as her mouth hung open while Mira nodded and pulled out two tickets from her purse at that time.
"I have planned this a while ago, kinda like your bachelorette party. But..anyways, we can still go there and have fun."
Erza shook her head as she slumped down on her bed while Mirajane just rolled her eyes.
"Loosen up Erza. Geez. We are gonna prove Simon wrong and show him how much of a fun and cool person you can really be."
Erza finally let her words sink in as she realised that perhaps she just needed a break from her daily life and ought to have some fun out there. It's been years since she went out on a girl's night out and now she have one whole week to make up for that, in Vegas nonetheless.
She felt the corners of her mouth lift up a bit as she turned her gaze to Mirajane.
"Alright. We are going to Vegas."

Erza squinted her eyes to spot Mirajane among the huge crowd as she found her dancing and grinding with a random man. She have her hands around his arms as they sloppily danced, due to the alcohol in their system. Mirajane appeared to be innocent but she was a rather wild beast and unlike Erza she didn't mind hooking up with some random guy.
Erza was a different story altogether. Even in her college days, she didn't go partying and boozing a lot as she was more reserved. Although, she came here to have fun but since yesterday when she arrived here, she barely had any fun.
"You know, the bar isn't a place to just sit around and muse over your shitty life."
She almost jumped from the stool when she heard a low voice of a male and indeed, when she glanced aside she found him leaning on the counter with a sexy smirk.
If it have been some ordinary girl, she would have turned all mushy and blushed hard at the sight of him. That man was sinfully hot. He was dressed in a tight red muscled shirt with a black jacket draped over it. He had blue unruly hairs which fell in his eyes and a red tattoo over the right half of his face, surrounding his hazelnut eyes.
"Are you done ogling me? Or you need some more time?"
His cocky remark caused her to turn red with both embarrassment and anger as she gave him her famous glare.
"What do you want?"
"Touche'"
He placed a hand on his heart, appearing to be hurt by her words as he sat besides her.
"Nothing. I was just curious why a gorgeous lady like you was sitting here all alone by herself."
She snorted as she turned her head away from him and sipped on her drink.
"And being a gentleman you are, you decided to check on me."
She spoke with heavy sarcasm as he gave a light chuckle and drank his own drink.
"My! My!, You can already read my mind. Are we soulmates or what?"
"Tch.."
It doesn't matter how handsome that man was, he was still annoying her so Erza got up from her stool and decided to walk away from there. A light tug on her hand forced her to look at him as she scowled and tried to pry it off from his grip but no use. He was more strong than her.
"Since you are not doing anything better, let me just buy you a drink."
"And how can you presume I have nothing to do."
He laughed at her as he slowly released her hand from his vice grip and closed the distance between them, such that they were only an inch apart.
"Please…this is Vegas. Everyone comes here to commit sin and have fun. Surely, you are not here for purpose of job."
She stepped back as she folded her arms over her chest and poked his shoulders.
"That doesn't mean I will chit chat with a stranger."
"My name is Jellal Fernandes. Nice to meet you."
He stretched his hand friendly at her as she shook her head with disbelief. This man was impossible.
"Now, you know my name. We are not totally strangers. Now you can either tell me your name and have a drink with me or chicken out and run from here. "
He told her smoothly with a serious expression as Erza finally snapped. Nobody calls Erza coward. If he was challenging her, then she was up to it.
She shook his hand harshly as she introduced herself.
"Erza Scarlet. You will be sorry you ever challenged me."
"Fiesty, ohh..I like that."
He whispered sensually as she tried not to blush while he lead her back to the bar counter.
"So..what now?"
She asked out of curiosity as he smirked at her before making two drinks and handing one to her.
"Let's see who can have more shots among us."
She hesitated at first as she was not much of a sober drunker. Her friends have told her many times in the past.
"Afraid? Miss Scarlet.."
He teased again as she gulped down her shot in one go and smiled slyly at him.
"You wish.."
It went out like this for another hour before they both were totally hammered. Erza was now howling with laughter at something Jellal said as he grinned at her. She leaned forward and almost fell on his lap as she giggled.
"Hey, Jelly..Blue berry..-hic-..Let's dance –hic- now.."
She got up shakingly as she tugged on his hands while he followed her and they both moved to the dance floor. He held her waist as started grooving on the beat. When the rock music started Erza began swaying her hips to the rhythm as she giggled and pulled him closer by grabbing a fistful of his shirt.
"I AM USUALLY -hic- NOT THIS MUCH FUN.."
She yelled in his ears as the music have increased in intensity while he just laughed and pulled her closer. She almost fell on him when she was accidently pushed. She stopped laughing when she noticed how close their faces were. His hot breathe was fawning her face as his eyelids drooped with lust. She noticed the look in his eyes and before she can comprehend what she was doing, she crashed her lips over his. He returned the favour when he pulled her body closer and slid his tongue in her mouth. They began to grind their hips together as their tongues battled harshly.
"Let's go somewhere private."
She managed to break out from his hot kiss as he nodded at her and guided her away from the place.
Little did they know what will be the consequences of their one night mishap.

I know it's cliché, but everyone loves this kinda story. Plus, I haven't read much jerza fanfic in which they are strangers but they hookup for a night. I hope it was a worthy read.
This story is somewhat inspired from the movie What happens in Vegas. It's a really funny and amazing movie. I recommend you to watch it.
