Nowhere to Run

It was another typical morning for every student on Fairy Tail Academy. Students were gossiping, teachers were gossiping, and Erza Scarlet was sitting alone in the student council office.

Okay, perhaps that's not normal.

Erza Scarlet couldn't get the twins out of her mind. After finding out the fact that the two of them like her (courtesy of their mom), Erza became even more confused.

Should I confront them first? Or should I wait and see what happen?

And unluckily, the school was heading to an arts & sports festival. She needed to get all the paper works done by tomorrow. And all these Fernandes drama was holding her down.

Questions and fatigue lingered inside her body and mind, and that made her didn't realize who had been standing in front of her.

The man lowered his head to reach Erza's eye level. "Boo," he said softly.

But that soft 'boo' blew Erza away. She fell backwards from her chair, grunting as she tried to stand up again. In the falling process, she screamed word that no one thought Erza Scarlet could say. She yelled, "KYA!"

The man who was responsible was already laughing. Siegrain, with his usual maniac looks, held his stomach and laughed really hard.

"Gosh, Erza! I didn't know you can 'kya' like that!"

Erza's face was as red as her hair now. She firmly fixed the chair and sat back down again, burying her face on some student council works. She continued working as if nothing happened.

Siegrain stopped laughing and realized that there's something wrong with Erza. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Erza raised her head up. Her face was worn out from lack of sleep, the work she had to do, and her personal dilemma. Her eye bags were clearly visible, and her eyes were sleepy.

Siegrain raised his eyebrows, concerned. "Are you okay?" asked him again.

Erza just slowly shook her head, not really in the mood to talk. "I'm fine. Anyway, how do you get inside?" asked her to waste time.

"You forget to lock the door. Erza, are you really okay?" asked Siegrain the second time.

Erza now raised her head again and looked at Siegrain in the eyes. All memory of the little blue haired boy was flooding her mind. They looked so similar. Or maybe they are the same person.

Erza decided to tell him her visit to his house yesterday. She started, "I went to your house yesterday. I met your mom. Leonora."

Siegrain blushed a little, thinking the fact that her mother must have told Erza something weird. But Erza continued, "Your mom is really lovely. She told me a couple of things I can't get my heads off."

"May I know what that's it?" asked Siegrain carefully.

Erza's tired eyes now look even more tired. It's as if the burden of hundreds of people were on her shoulder. Her eyes were different with what they used to be, and then Siegrain realized it. Erza looked at him in a different way.

"You remember," said Siegrain slowly.

Erza nodded, very slowly. Her tiring eyes grew even more tired.

Siegrain sighed on the view. To have those beautiful brown eyes ruined. All because of him and Jellal.

Erza stood up, "why don't you tell me when we first met? Why?"

Siegrain gulped, "because I don't know at that time. Once I knew, I realized that you have forgotten. I don't have the strength to tell you the truth. And to be honest, I think things are better this way for us."

Erza silently agreed. Maybe things were much better this way. But she couldn't let it be this way forever.

"So? Do you know who is it between us?"

The silent creeping in the room was intense. And Siegrain knew that Erza didn't know yet. Well, who would blame her? They are twins after all.

"I don't know," said Erza finally, "I have no idea. And I don't think you would help me, right?"

Siegrain suddenly laughed. "Help you? Oh no Erza, why should I? I believe you know the answer yourself." He then added that last sentence with a wink that could melt any girl's heart.

Erza sat down again. She gently rubbed her temple. She took a deep breath and said to herself that she is strong. This much of problem wouldn't bother her. She is strong.

Siegrain smiled looking at Erza's action. He chuckled lightly and said to her, "there is other things you should be worry about you know."

This gained Erza's attention. "If, let's just say if, you finally figure it out, what are you going to do?" said Siegrain.

Erza felt her stomach punched. She sat there thinking about what Siegrain said.

Siegrain, in the other hand, silently walked outside and waved goodbye. Whatever he was saying didn't reach Erza's mind. She was deep in her own train of thought.

O.O

Erza couldn't concentrate.

Whatever Macao was talking got inside her left ear, and left through her right ear.

She kept on glancing to her left, founding Jellal who silently paid attention to Maco. Why did she sit so close to him? It made her heart beat so fast.

What Siegrain said at the student council office was true. What would she do?

Honestly, she never thought about it. It just that that little boy had been haunting her mind for so long, that she wanted to know who he is.

But, is that all? Or is what she was feeling back then was the same for now?

Erza sighed. Her train of thought was going nowhere. Luckily for her, the school bell rang. Everyone quickly packed their bag and went home.

Erza looked to her left and she found Jellal staring at her. "What's wrong?" asked Erza.

"You didn't seem well," asked Jellal in the exact same manner as his twin.

Erza inwardly cursed. Why were the twins so sensitive?

"It just that I… found a little problem. Yeah, a little problem," she said more to herself rather than Jellal.

Jellal wore this caring expression on his face. It's as if Jellal knew everything about Erza.

"You'll remember Erza. I know you will."

He took his bag and left. And Erza just couldn't hold it any longer.

"It was you, wasn't it?"

Class 10C was already empty. The two of them was the only one inside.

The two of them looked at each other.

The two of them knew that they have nowhere to run.

O.O
