Old Friend

After the girls had finished their cakes, they went to Lucy's place, all except Erza. She had decided to look for Jellal after hearing from Meredy that he went to the local bar. When she arrived, an obnoxious drunk put his arm around her shoulders "Wanna have some fun?" he asked in a flirtatious voice before a certain guild master sent him flying to the other side of the room. Erza smiled as Jellal adjusted his armor "Long time, no see." he said hugging her "I missed you." she said breathing in and hugging back "Glad to see you're not drunk." he said and they both laughed before letting go of their embrace. "Meredy said Cana invited you two to the party, how come you weren't there?" Erza asked as they walked to the bar "I was worried she might have invited Milliana and that I wouldn't be able to speak to you." he explained after ordering his drink "So, does that mean you missed me more than you miss your fiancée right now?" she asked teasingly.

Jellal blushed and cleared his throat "Clearly not as much as you missed me." he said drinking from his cup "I don't know," Erza had a smirk playing on her lips "Natsu and Gray have been very helpful when it comes to the subject of you putting your life in danger." she found Jellal's reaction priceless when she had brought up the two young wizards, and when she laughed, the guild master laughed with her. Jellal loved a lot of things about the red haired cake lover, but the one thing he loved most about Erza was how her eyes would fill with joy as she would laugh. His heart beats every time he's with her, but he doesn't deserve the happiness she can give him, not after all the pain he caused her. So many thoughts were going through his head that he hadn't noticed the requiping mage moving her hand in front of his face "Huh?" he asked snapping out of his trance once Erza slapped him upside the head "I was asking about your progress with shutting down dark guilds around Fiore." she said laughing at his cluelessness "Ultear's death kind of made it hard for us to go on, but we were able to shut down most of the dark guilds in eastern Fiore." (Don't know where Magnolia lies on the Fiore map, so please no correcting me on this one if I'm wrong.)

The bartender placed a drink in front of Erza "Compliments of the gentleman over there." he said nodding at a man a few seats over. He had brown hair and green eyes. The man waved at Erza, with a nervous smile. Erza returned the smile as a thank you, Jellal on the other hand was glaring at him. "Should I go talk to him?" she asked the blue haired wizard knowing all too well about his possessive side "Go ahead, I don't care." he said trying to stop from sounding jealous, but Erza thought it was kinda rude. "Fine." Erza got up and talked to the man "Fine!" Jellal yelled as she walked away. He saw as she greeted the man, and laugh as the man kissed her hand "Whatever." he said ordering another drink and decided he might as well talk to someone else.

Erza was completely bored, of hearing about this guy's looks, and how many minutes he could hold his breath underwater. She didn't even want to talk to him, but Jellal had been a total jerk about it. Having a fiancée or not, he was still her friend. If he really cared about her then he should have said something. As she took another sip of her drink, she noticed Jellal was talking to another girl. It kinda hurt her feelings he didn't even bother trying to stop her from talking to a man more selself centered than Ichiya himself. Wait a minute, why should she care if he isn't going to care about what she does then she should just "Hey... is anyone home?" the guy asked interrupting her thoughts. Erza just shook her head and decided to leave "I am really greatful, that you bought me this delicious drink, but I just remembered I had to meet up with a friend, so if you'll excuse me..." she got up and headed for the door, but yet another loser decided to mess with her. She could have requiped and kick his ass on the spot, but she remembered that if she over did it then she could destroy the bar, then both the master and Cana would have her neck "Aren't you Titania from Fairy Tail?" the drunk asked trying to keep his balance.

Jellal didn't really listen to the girls who were talking to him, he just wanted to know if Erza noticed him talking to them. After hearing an hour long story about how these girls had spent a night at Akane Resort, made him realize how petty he was being, all because he can't forget about how he hurt Erza. He wanted to run to where she was and apologize, but he was on his fifth cup of vodka and was beginning to feel dizzy "Where'd you get that tattoo, it looks pretty badass." the girl he was speaking to asked "It's a birth mark." he said searching the crowd for Erza "That is so awesome." another girl yelled before he noticed the guy that had sent Erza that drink.

He made his way through the crowd and picked the man up by his shirt collar "Where's Erza?" he asked his hair casting a dark shadow over his eyes. Said guy had his hands in front of him for defense before explaining Erza had wanted to leave. Jellal let him go, after hearing the one person that made him feel safe in that hell hole, Paradise Tower, the girl who made his heart skip a beat would never ever forgive him again, he sat down and order another drink "Come on, sweetheart just show us a bit of your magic and we'll let you leave." he heard a man's voice say before he broke his cup.

She had been trying to leave for over an hour and these drunks wouldn't quit it with the demands to requip "I've already told you to leave me alone." Erza said at her wit's end "Oooh, is someone getting angry?" one of the jackasses asked in a mocking voice. She smirked at the guy who had done that and punched him square in the jaw. All of the men instantly held her back as the jerk got up and grabbed her by the chin, but before the man said anything Jellal had broken a bottle over his head causing a full on bar fight to start. In the crossfire he had taken Erza's hand and dragged her out of the bar "Jellal?" Erza said catching him as he nearly fell over "I'm sorrdjndhdj" he slurred and she realized he was drunk "Okay," Erza made it so he could keep his balance "Let's get you home." she said using her communication lacrima in order to get a ride from, one of another resident living in Fairy Hills...
