CHAPTER 7
"Erza… Erza are you alright?" I asked as Erza opened her eyes. She had fainted on the stairs and I had brought her to the infirmary. Luckily she hadn't suffered from any injuries, but her magic power had decreased due to some infection. Doctor had advised to give her full rest for at least 2-3 days.
" Gray…what happened to me? How did I end up here? All I remember is that…that I was following you…" Erza said as she put her fingers on the forehead.
I smiled and took her hand, " Don't worry Erza, everything's fine. You're just suffering from a minor infection which is the cause of your weakness and magic power depletion. You need to rest for 2-3 days, and yes I'll be there for you…"
" Thanks Gray. Where's Jellal? Did he not come to see me?" Erza asked looking at me.
A frown formed on my face. Why did it always have to be Jellal? That fool didn't even help me carry her. But, still Erza cared about her. I replied looking at the floor, "No, he didn't. He left on a job blaming himself for your condition." And then I tried to change the topic. "It's time for your medicine, let me take care of that. Gray Fullbuster at your service ma'am!"
Erza smiled a little. I too smiled at her. She looked so cute when smiling. I went and got the medicine. I poured water in a glass and mixed the medicine with it. " Here take it…might be bitter but will make you well soon, for sure…" I said as I gave her the glass. I know Erza hates anything that is bitter, all she loves are cakes. She took the glass from me, looked at it for a few seconds and then drank it, whole in one go.
" That was worse than I thought it to be. Why can't these medicines taste like a cake?" Erza said making a face. I laughed at this.
"Gray, how did I reach the infirmary from the staircase?" Erza asked as she turned her head away from me.
"I-I carried you. And it's not such an easy task to carry you…with that heavy armour on." I said blushing.
Erza looked at me with a fierce glare which in a second turned to a gentle look. " I know. Even I sometimes think that wearing armour all the time is a fashion faux pas. I don't look that bad in casuals though…"
I wanted to say that no, casuals look better on you than anyone else in the world, but then I controlled myself.
Soon the time passed by and Erza fell asleep. The medicine must've taken action.
She looked so beautiful in the moonlight. I yawned and the put my head down on the bed and fell asleep….
