So, I got writer's block on my main story, and that was why I was able to put a lot of work into this story, but I finally got over the writer's block and was able to put out a chapter, so if you would like, go check it out. But, you guys are here for WWIT! So we'll get back to that. Hope you guys enjoy, and leave a review saying what you guys think. Storm Out!


Erin let the warm water flow over his shoulders, contemplating the conversation that he and Erza had. Jesus fucking Christ, he thought, you're supposed to try to AVOID relationships, and now you've essentially agreed to one with a stranger that you know nothing about, except for the fact that she's cute and has problems with relationships. Congrats, Erin, you are fucking losing it. He sighed, turning off the shower and grabbing a towel. Stepping out of the shower, he toweled off his hair and got dressed, opting for a tank top and shorts, since it was well above ninety degrees outside. "Oi, Natsu, shower's all yours!" he shouted, applying deodorant. Seconds later, the pink-haired man ran into the bathroom, not paying attention, and slipped on the wet floor, only managing to stay upright because of a convenient doorframe. "Dumbass," Erin muttered, earning a punch on the shoulder from his roommate. "Might want to hurry, mate," Natsu said, winking. "Erza's pretty much been wearing a trench in the floor waiting for you to get done." Erin gulped. They had hung back behind the group when they walked back, asking each other standard icebreaker questions, like what is your favorite color (silver for Erza, green for Erin), and had progressed to what they were like in high school, including Erin's account of the time he and his friend Gin had gotten a teacher's cat stuck on the roof of their three story tall high school building. There was one subject that Erin dreaded coming up: family. For some reason, she brought those memories to the surface, and I really don't feel like discussing the fact that I'm an only member of the family in front of everyone. Steeling himself, he vacated the bathroom and headed out into the living room, finding that Natsu had exaggerated, as Erza was currently sitting in an armchair, albeit his armchair, and laughing with the others, except for Gray, who was currently enjoying his own shower.

Walking into the kitchen, he grabbed the gallon of orange juice, taking a quick swig and replacing it before leaning through the window between the living area and the kitchen. "So, where do you guys want to go?" He asked, thinking through the options nearby. "There's that Chinese place over on Thurman." The short girl, Levy, said from over by Gajeel. Erin shook his head. "Chinese food and I go together about as well as dogs and cats." He stated, drawing a laugh out of the crowd. "What about that sandwich shop on the east side?" Gray said, emerging from his room clad in nothing but a towel. "Gray, how about some clothes?" Gajeel said, shaking his head. "And I'm not really feeling sandwiches." He continued, while Gray jumped for the dresser and out of sight. "There's the Mexican joint on Fourth Avenue?" The blue-haired one tried, Erin remembered her name was Juvia. "Unless you want to be smelling it on the way home, I would say no." Natsu replied, exiting the room while trying to put on a "GUNSHOW," t-shirt and running into the doorframe. Erin shook his head as the blonde girl, Lucy, put her hand over her mouth to hide a smile. "How about the pizza joint that's on campus?" Erin suggested. Nods and muttered agreements followed that suggestion.


"Welcome to the best pizza in town!" Natsu said as they pulled up and piled out. Erin slowly climbed out of the driver's seat and stretched, groaning. "Hallelujah, I can stand up straight." He groaned, popping his neck. After a while, they had decided that Erin should drive, due to the fact that he had the longest legs and therefore needed the most legroom. Unfortunately, they had to take Levy's van, and since Levy was a good foot and a half shorter than him, it was pretty uncomfortable. After driving for fifteen minutes with his knees jammed under the steering column, he was glad to stretch out. Turning, he noticed everybody staring at him. "Just, uh, admiring the parking job," he attempted to cover up. "Yup, that's a bang-up parking job." "C'mon, moron," Natsu said, struggling to contain his laughter, "before all the tables fill up."


"Oh, my god, that was sooooo good." Erza practically moaned as they walked out of the restaurant. Natsu smiled, and laughed from where he walked next to Lucy and Gajeel. "Told ya. That place is world famous for their pizza, pasta and breadsticks." "I can see why." Erin said, walking out towards the van. "That was delicious." "Hey, Erin," Levy called, running to keep up. "I think I should drive back. It might give you a little more leg room, and a little less time to 'admire your parking job.'" She said, giggling as the taller boy blushed and looked away. "Yeah, sure, whatever." He answered as he scratched the back of his head. Levy snatched the keys out of his hand and ran towards the van, hood sliding across the front in excitement. Erin sighed and climbed in the back, relieved as he could sit without being practically folded in half. It was going to be a much more comfortable ride home.

The car ride back was entertaining, as he got dragged into a discussion about the Premier League, which almost got them into a wreck as Levy squealed about Leicester City going top of the table, while he, Erza, and Gray discussed the Everton-Chelsea match that had taken place. They were all surprised when they arrived back at their apartments in what seemed like no time, and all piled back into the guys' apartment, where Natsu flopped onto the couch, nearly passing into a food coma right there. As they laughed and joked around, Erin looked up as a knock sounded at the door. "Coming!" He yelled, standing up from the barstool he was sitting on. As he opened the door, he beheld a young man in his early twenties, with blue hair and a red tattoo under his right eye. He also noticed when Erza tensed up, a look of fear in her eyes. "Can I help you?" Erin asked. "Yeah, actually. The name's Jellal Fernandes, I'm the residential assistant for this area. I was just making the rounds to introduce myself. Are you girls the people who live across the street from here?" He asked, gazing around the room. "Yeah," Lucy answered from her position on the couch next to Natsu. "We were just hanging out with the neighbors, getting to know everybody!" "Okay." Jellal replied, a smile on his face. "Just letting you know, there's a meeting for the area taking place on Friday out in the commons, so make sure that you're there!" With that, Jellal left, and Erin closed the door, noticing that the look of apprehension had not entirely faded from Erza's face.


What will happen to the group? And what connection does Jellal have to Erza? Find out in the next exciting installment! Hope you guys enjoyed! Leave a review to let me know what you thought of it! Storm Out!
