Chapter 6: The Hot Springs.
Night had fallen on the skies of Magnolia, the starry night sky shined down on Erza. The glow of the beautiful moonlight made her scarlet red hair stand out more than usual. She really loved the night sky, it reminded her of her days in The Tower of Heaven. How when she was little, one of her dreams would be that she could leave that place for good and look at the starry night skies on the that she's older, and was free, one of her dreams was finally fufilled. The only other left was to learn how to ride a broom.
Erza walked out of Magnolia's cake shop and planned to head straight for the Hot Springs. Fortunately, a new one opened up a few days ago, and Erza had been dying to give them a shot. She soon arrived at the Hot Springs, payed her fee and went to the locker room.
Erza soon walked out of the locker room in nothing but a complimentary fluffy white towel. She removed the towel, took a dip into the Hot Springs and sighed; this was Heaven. She never felt a Hot Spring like this before. Were there sea salts in there? Cause whatever was added into the water, it made it much more relaxing!
She began to open the bottle of sake that was given to her and poured herself a small shot glass of it. She felt the alcoholic liquid burn it's way down her throat. This was normal for her on the first shot, eventually after a few more she's use to it. When finishing her third shot, she leaned back and enjoyed the hot water. Nothing like a little alone time every now and then right?
I wonder what's been up with Natsu lately? Erza asked herself He wouldn't go on that job with me today. And normally, he wants to beat up a few monsters. Maybe I'm over thinking things; he probably ate something he shouldn't of.
"Erza?" a voice broke her thoughts. She looked at where the voice came from and spotted a wide-eyed Jellal, wearing nothing but a towel on his *cough cough* man hood. He sat down with the towel still on and stared immediately at her face; trying to avoid looking at the huge ammount of her chest she was exposing.
"Jellal!" Erza squeaked with a red stain on her cheeks "What are you doing here? I-I thought you left town already."
"I decided to stay a few more days." Jellal replied "You look nice by the way."
Erza quickly covered her chest. A guild member seeing her nake was one thing; but this was Jellal! She couldn't even believe this was happening.
"I'll look away so you can get your towel on." He told her respectively. He turned his head and soon heard her get out of the hot springs and put the towel on tightly before getting back in "It's a beautiful night." She looked at him.
"I agree with you." She replied. She took her plate with Sake and handed it too him, offering him a drink which he accepted. He took a shot of the alcohol and gulped it down with ease.
"You know," he said while taking another shot "When I looked up at the sky in The Tower, it always made me think of you." Erza looked at the man surprised; did he just say that?
"How?" she asked "How did it remind you of me?"
"The Orion constellation." Jellal admitted while taking another shot "I always knew you were a warrior, so when I looked at it, I didn't see that constelation; I saw you."
Erza's face turned as red as her hair when she heard that. She suddenly began to feel dizzy; she was in the water for too long.
"I-I need to get out." she said. She managed to stumble her way out of the hot spring and grab a dry towel.
"Hold on, wait up!" Jellal screamed after drinking another shot. He sat up and grabbed Erza's hand. But by doing that, it pulled Erza back and she fell straight into the hot spring; right on top of Jellal.
"You ok?" Jellal asked.
"Yeah," Erza gulped "What about you?"
"I can manage." He looked down at Erza and stared straight into her eyes; he didn't know what it's been lately, but he's been more attracted to Erza than he normally was.
He stared down at her lips; they looked so kissable right now. Ever since he kissed her before The Grand Magic Games, he's been wanting to kiss her again and again. So he did it; he quickly moved his head and kissed her. Erza was surprised at first but soon, returned the kiss. Erza read about what to do in a lot of the novels she read so, she pulled Jellal closer and plunged her tounge into his mouth. The two wrestled for a moment and Jellal tightened his grip around her waist. His hands began to travek south to her behind when suddenly, they heard voices.
"Someone's coming!" Erza whispered. Jellal grabbed Erza and dunked both of theirselves into the water. The water was hot, but they held on until they heard those voices dissapear. When they did, they went back up for air.
"I think that was the owner." Jellal reasoned.
"Agreed, I think it's almost closing time." Erza replied "We should get out of here." Jelall nodded and got out with her. The two left their changing rooms and began to walk to Fairy Hills.
"A-are you free this Saturday?" Jellal asked her.
"I am." Erza replied "Why? What's on your mind?"
"Well..." Erza looked at him and noticed he was blushing "I was wondering if you would like to... hang out?"
"You mean a date?" Jellal's whole face turned red.
"I-if that's what you're insisting I mean- yes- no- I don't know-"
"Jellal." Erza said sternly before facing him "I would love to." Jellal let out a smile and suddenly grabbed her and kissed her passionately again.
"So..." Jellal said "See you five days from now?"
"Agreed." Erza smiled. The two waved their goodbyes and went their seperate ways. Erza soon arrived through the doors of Fairy Hills and noticed Levy standing there with a smile and a blush on her face.
"Hello Levy," Erza said which snapped the girl out of her thoughts and spotted Erza.
"Hi Erza." Levy smiled.
"What's on your mind?"
"I think I have a date with Gajeel this Saturday night." Erza looked at the Solid Script Mage with surprise.
"That's wonderful!" Erza smiled "I got a date with Jellal this Saturday as well."
"He finally asked you out?!" Levy asked. Erza nodded "That's wonderful! I heard from Lu-chan and Natsu just asked her out Saturday as well.
"How odd." Erza pondered "I guess it was the most avalible date. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pick my dress for the date." Erza said her goodnights to Levy and walked upstairs to her room where she found a skinny black cocktail dress before going to sleep.
