Because some readers begged me to not end it yet, I've decided to make it a longer fic ^^

I'm glad you're all enjoying :)

Thanks as always Chrissy for revising ^^

Warning: Mayor Fluff :D

By the time Erza woke up, the sun had already begun to set. She opened her eyes, only to see her room bathing in the light of a late year's sun. She blinked twice, I must have forgotten to close one of the curtains, she thought and looked at her standing clock; it was already 11:15 am. This was the longest she had slept in years.

Her blankets were still fresh and clean, no sweat of anxious dreams and no salt of midnight tears. She felt oddly wide awake and her mind seemed to be freed of worries.

Erza looked over to her nightstand where the communication lacrima lay that Erik has brought her. A lot happened yesterday, not to mention last night. She still couldn't believe she was able to talk to Jellal again, the thought about it already managed to make her smile.

The lacrima hadn't made any sounds or lit up again. She wondered, was she, too, able to contact him or was it only the other way around? Carefully she touched the surface of the device. It lit up faintly and 2 buttons on the screen appeared. She touched the second one and a small list of short words showed up. The list contained only initials, no full names. They were in alphabetical order and at the 'J' she saw the initials 'JF'. Next to there was a rectangle that said, 'CALL'.

A smile crossed her face, should she do it? Just to hear his voice once more, even though she could practically talk to him any time now. She shook her head. No, the calling device was meant to be for the mission. He's probably way too busy right now anyway.

She climbed out of bed and opened the only curtain that was still closed to let the high set sun touch her skin. She opened the windows and slowly took in the fresh air and let it stream past her lungs.

Her life was about to drastically change as soon as the mission had started. For now all she could do was wait. Wait until Gray would contact her. Or not.

But until then she would enjoy the time in which she didn't have to worry about anything, but herself. She could read all the magazines she had piled up on her dinner table and bake all the cakes that were in her unused cooking books. No missions for now, she already made enough money anyway.

She stood in front of her man-size mirror and requipped into several outfits. But no matter what she changed into, nothing could satisfy her. She sighed and requipped back to her underwear and looked hopelessly into the mirror. It was at times like these when she wished she still had her female friends around. The girly side of her she didn't always show was something she could only share with Lucy, Levy, Evergreen and all of the other Fairy Girls. They always knew what looked better on her than she did herself.

But how would she now know how to look pretty to go into town? She sighed, but shortly after that she quickly lifted her head. But what if-?

She walked over to her bed and picked up the lacrima. The screen still was on 'JF' and her finger hovered over the 'CALL' button. He wouldn't be that busy, right?

She gently pressed the screen and it lit up. She lay it down on the end of her bed and sat down next to it. Nothing could be heard and she was afraid she had done something wrong,maybe she wasn't able to call him after all?

After a few minutes of silence she decided it just didn't work. She would have to wait until he called her again.

Just when she was about to lay the device back at her nightstand, she heard faint noises coming out of it. She bent over to hold her ear closer to the lacrima.

"Erza? Is there an urgent reason for you to call me out of my sleep?" She heard a sleepy male voice say.

She jumped up, still holding the lacrima to her ear. "Sleep?! It's 12 pm! I thought you were too busy, but you were just sleeping?!"

"Busy? With what?"

"I- I don't know?" she stuttered. "Fighting crime?"

"It's not a full time job you know," he laughed. "It's not like we take out a guild every day. Anyway, what made you call me?"

"Oh, it's nothing urgent, it's just that I-I ..." she let out a deep breath, "I don't know what to wear today."

She awaited a response as she felt the blood raise to her face. I must have sounded so stupid.

First Erza heard a chuckle followed by a cracking laughter. "You—" she heard him say as he paused for a moment to catch his breath again, "you called me because you're having difficulties with your wardrobe?"

"It's not funny, it's a serious business for me, okay?!" She let out as she felt her face becoming a shade closer to her hair.

"Okay, okay," he said as he snorted one last time. "I'll help."

She sighed out a "Thanks," and walked up to her mirror again, gently placing the lacrima on the floor next to it.

Erza heard Jellal clear his throat, "So, ehr, what're you wearing right now?"

She looked at herself in the mirror again and suddenly realised she was still in her underwear. "W-well, nothing yet," she stammered while her face now really rivalled her hair in colour. "Give me a second to change into the first outfit."

She awaited a response, which she didn't get. The only thing she could hear were some faint curse words. "Jellal? Are you okay?"

"I'll be right back," he said hastily. "My- my nose is running."

"Fine"

She requipped into the first outfit that came to her mind. A few minutes later she could hear some stumbling on the other side of the communication line followed by Jellal's voice, "I'm back, sorry it took so long, I'm ready now."

"In that time I could've tried on 17 different outfits, you know?"

"I wouldn't be surprised," he said, chuckling. "So...what's your first outfit?"

She looked at herself in the mirror. "Well, I am wearing red shorts, white ballerinas and a marine blouse with rolled up sleeves. Nothing special, just some basic clothes."

He remained quiet.

"So, should I change to the next one?" She said in a disappointed voice.

"No, no," she heard him say, "keep it like this, I think you look beautiful."

"How do you know? You can't even see me. My hair is all messed up and my skin looks greasy and—"

"You're always beautiful to me, Erza. You've always been and you'll always be."

Her eyes widened and she felt her heart skip a beat. "Jellal…" she said quietly as she sank to her knees and covered her face in her hands. Silently, she started crying.

"Erza? What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? I didn't mean to upset you, really."

"No, it isn't like that. It's just—" she felt a few tears escaping the corner of her eye, "I just want to see you again!"

A moment of silence was followed by his warm voice, "I want to see you again too, Erza. It won't be that long until we can see each other again, I promise."

Thanks for reading! It was kinda fillerish but that's inevitable when writing multiple chapter fics ^^

Leaving a review is always nice :)

Have a nice weekend ^^
