"Erza?" Jellal called as he walked into the apartment they both shared. "Are you home from your job?" He had seen Natsu and the others at the guild hall earlier, and they told him she had come straight home when they got back into town.

"In the kitchen!" He heard her reply. He started that way after closing the door, carrying the groceries he was holding.

What he saw when he got there made him pause in the doorway, almost dropping the bags. His jaw dropped in shock.

"E-Erza? What are you wearing?" Jellal asked, a blush crawling up his face.

Erza turned around, her back now to the fridge. She was clad in only a (very revealing) white lace nightie, a matching set of underwear and bra showing through. "Just something I picked up on the way back from the job. Why, do you not like it?" She replied, her voice taking on a small, teasing pout at the end. She knew she would get a good reaction out of him when she bought it, but seeing the blush only made it more fun.

It took Jellal a moment before he could find his voice to answer. "I, uh, love it, actually. I'm just wondering why you're wearing it now?"

"Why not? It's comfortable, and it was hot in here when I got back." She walked over and put her arms around his neck. "Plus, I thought, since I've not seen you in a week we could- are those groceries?"

Jellal was so caught up in what Erza was doing he completely forgot about the bags in his hands. "Yes, but I think they can-"

Erza had an idea now, and she was going to greatly enjoy it. "Nonsense. I'm guessing these are mostly things that need to be refrigerated, since I saw nothing in there when I got home. Let's put these away first." She snatched the bags out of his hands before he could protest.

And, oh, how he wanted to protest.

She started pulling everything out of the bags and setting it on the counter. When that was done, she opened the fridge and started putting away the dairy items. The ice cream went in the freezer. The canned goods in the upper cabinets.

Jellal thought he would go crazy from how the lace was pulling and streching and catching in all of the right places as Erza bent and streched to put the food away. The look in her eyes told him that she was doing this on purpose, just to tease him. He saw her pick up the last can and licked his lips just a bit. The blush was gone, replaced with a desire that was obvious from the look in his eyes.

Erza closed the cabinet door, then turned back around. The look in her eyes was still teasing. "So, where were we?"

Jellal rushed forward and pushed her against the cabinet, kissing her like she had been gone years instead of days.

Erza smiled into the kiss as she put her arms back around his neck. The lace had been a very good purchase, indeed.
