Author's note: New chapter, everyone! This a special chapter, an AU schoolfic! I hope you like it! I do not own Fairy Tail.
MORE THAN FRIENDS
CHAPTER 21
The city of Magnolia was a lively, vivid city, which offered several activities. It was another busy day, and the people of the city were already out on their usual daily activities. Lucy Heartfilia was a young, teenage girl, who was already on her way to her new school. Lucy had just recently moved to the city, and she was a new student to the city's most prestigious school, Fairy High. The blond girl had heard a lot of stories about the well known school, and she wanted to attend it ever since she was young. And now finally, at her senior year, she had the chance to transfer to that school. Lucy made her way in the city, with almost skipping steps, until she arrived at her destination. She stopped, and smiled happily, as she looked at the large, clear building. Fairy High was a large, brown, white, and cream colored building, with red tiles, and a wide yard with green trees. It offered several facilities, like science labs, sport fields, and a small café, where the students could pass their free time. But what made this school even more special, were the students themselves. Lucy walked past the gate, and made her way inside the school, thinking about all the new friends she had made. When she first introduced herself in the class, in front of everyone, she was, naturally, feeling quite nervous and uncertain. But her new classmates were quick to welcome her, they turned out really friendly and made her feel part of their company, like she had been there for years and not just transferred there. Of course, her new classmates were pretty lively, to say the least. Lucy was slowly getting used to the new climate, but it seemed like each day would be full of surprises, and livid situations.
"Good morning, everyone!" Lucy greeted cheerfully, but suddenly she was splashed with cold water, as a wooden bucket fell on her head. If that had happened a few weeks earlier, Lucy might have felt bumped about it, but now she just wondered why she didn't check the door first. "Who did that? Natsu, was this your idea?" she said angrily, as she took off the bucket.
"Lucy, that was supposed to be for Gray or Gazille! You ruined the prank!" Natsu said vividly, as he dashed in front of her.
"So it's my fault? How did you even know that either of those two would walk in next? That could be anyone!" Lucy said exasperated.
"I had everything carefully planned! It was you who came in earlier" Natsu said back, as Gray walked in.
"Like I'd fall for a childish trick like that, you idiot" he said casually, noticing the bucket on Lucy's hands as he walked inside the classroom and sat on his seat. He suddenly let out a gasp, and jumped out of his chair.
"He, heh, you fell for it!" Natsu snickered, as Gray saw the hot stones on his chair.
"Why you! You've done it now!" Gray growled angrily, as he bashed heads with Natsu.
"You wanna go, droopy eyes?" Natsu yelled.
"You asked for it, squinty eyes!" Gray shot back.
"Hey, stop growling you two! It's still morning" Gazille said with a bored expression as he walked in the classroom. Natsu suddenly grabbed the bucket from Lucy's hands, and put it roughly on Gazille's head.
"Fine! If you want a beating that much, then I'll be glad to give it to you!" Gazille shouted, as he took off the bucket.
"A fight is a man's job!" Elfman roared, as he joined the brawling group. Lucy simply sighed, and walked towards her seat. It seemed like the regular brawls were a usual part of her new class.
"Hey, Lucy! You need a towel?" Cana greeted, as Lucy moved closer.
"Good morning, Cana! Do you really have a towel with you?" Lucy asked, with a mix of disbelief and surprise. In response, Cana reached for her bag, and took out a large, white towel.
"You need to come more prepared!" she chuckled, as Lucy took the towel, smiling gratefully.
"I'll keep that in mind!" the blonde girl responded cheerfully, as she dried her hair, and gave the towel back. Cana's seat was next to hers, and the two girls quickly got to know each other, and became friends. Of course, everyone seemed to be one big company, but Cana was one of the girls that Lucy felt closer too.
"Good morning, Lucy, Cana!" a familiar, friendly voice was heard near them, as both Lucy and Cana turned around.
"Good morning, Mirajane!" Lucy greeted with a wide smile, as the white haired girl smiled back. Mirajane was considered the idol of Fairy High, a talented, smart, and beautiful young woman, who already seemed to have a career as a singer, and a pin up model. She was one of the reasons that Lucy wanted to join Fairy High, and she was glad to find out that Mirajane was a kind, sweet, caring and lovable person.
"Good morning, Mira!" Cana greeted, with a small smile. Cana and Mirajane had been friends ever since they were young, but Cana had confided to Lucy that recently, she had developed an intense crush on her friend. Lucy had been very supportive, but then again, she had a similar secret of her own. Only her situation seemed to be a little more, complicated. She was relieved though, to realize that her friends were there for her.
"Hey now, settle down you guys. Are you fighting again?" the teacher calmly said, as he slowly came into the class.
"Gildarts, fight me!" Natsu suddenly yelled, excited.
"Hey, is that really a way to talk to the teacher?" Max, one of the other students, mumbled.
"Again? Fine then, come at me, Natsu" Gildarts said with a nonchalant expression.
"He agreed to that?" Alzack said, surprised. Natsu let out an excited yell and dashed towards the older man, only to get smacked on the ground with one chop.
"Now, if we are done with that, let's move on to our lesson" Gildarts said simply, as he walked towards his desk.
"I think he lasted a little longer than last time" Cana commented, as all the students, including a pouty Natsu, moved towards their seats. Gildarts whistled casually as he fumbled into his brown briefcase, only to blink a couple of times, and search more intensely.
"Well, it seems I have forgotten my notes!" he commented, as he rubbed the back of his head with a goofy smile.
"What kind of teacher are you?!" the whole class yelled shocked, at the same time, as they pointed their fingers at the older man. Somehow, the class moved along, and it was time for the school break. Lucy fell, head first on her desk, letting out a long sigh.
"Are you okay, Lucy?" Mirajane asked, with some concern.
"I'm fine, Mira. I was just thinking about the next class" Lucy responded, as she let out another small sigh.
"Oh, I think I get it" Mirajane said with a small smile, as the students slowly took their seats.
"Good morning, everyone!" the teacher of the next class greeted, as she walked into the class, with a kind smile.
"Good morning, Erza-sensei!" most of the students greeted back. Lucy held out a small breath, as the young teacher stood by her desk and opened her briefcase. She already had several classes with that teacher, and every time she would walk into the class, she would get the same response from the young blonde. She was the source of her secret, and the reason for her great turmoil. Ever since she first laid her eyes on the young teacher, Lucy had developed a major crush on her. She was elegant, kind, intelligent, and probably the most beautiful girl, Lucy had ever seen. The blonde would sometimes space out, lean on her hand, and watch the young teacher doing her lesson. Which, in return, would lead to a surprised yelp, when said teacher would ask her a question. Fortunately, Lucy's managed to hold her grades to a good level, despite her occasional absent mindedness. Lucy raised her head a little higher, in order to check the teacher's current outfit. As usual, Erza was dressed in an elegant outfit, a crimson skirt, which showed off her shapely legs, a matching crimson vest with a white shirt underneath it, and black heels. Her beautiful, long, red hair was draped freely over her shoulders, and Lucy also noticed a small, golden necklace around her neck. The blonde girl gulped hard, Erza was looking as radiant as ever. Her thoughts, however, were quickly interrupted by a, familiar by now, yell.
"Erza, fight me!" Natsu said, as he stood up from his seat.
"Will you stop saying that to every teacher?" Gray growled, with an irritated expression.
"You wanna go again, stripper?" Natsu yelled, as he turned towards him.
"Anytime, fire pants!" Gray shot back, as he got up as well.
"You guys! What have I told you about fighting inside the class?" Erza started saying slowly, her voice showing sights of rage on each word, causing the two teens to slowly turn towards her, while sweating.
"Um, don't do it?" Natsu mumbled, nervously.
"You guys not only start fighting, but you do it in front of your teacher, in the middle of class?! What kind of idiots are you? How many times do I need to tell you? No fighting!" Erza snapped, nearly flipping her desk in her rage.
"Aye, sir!" Natsu said, sweating.
"It won't happen again!" Gray added, with a nervous voice.
"Good! Now let's continue with our lesson, shall we?" Erza continued calmly, as she picked up her book, and pushed her shades. Lucy couldn't help but smile. Erza might have quite a temper sometimes, like most of the class actually, and she might be even a little scary, but Lucy liked even that side of her. She knew that deep inside, Erza was much kinder, than the strict attitude she sometimes showed.
"Well, that was fun!" Cana said simply, as she took a sip of her drink. After the classes finished, Lucy, Mirajane and Cana decided to take a walk, and stopped by a café. Along with them came also a young girl, Wendy, who was another transfer student in her freshman year.
"So, you guys have been in our school for a couple of months. How do you find it so far?" Mirajane asked.
"It's great! Better than I could ever imagine!" Lucy responded, vividly, with a wide smile.
"Yeah, it's pretty awesome!" Wendy nodded in agreement, enthusiastically.
"I'm glad that you guys like it so much! We are happy to have you, too" Mirajane said, with a kind smile.
"What about your, situation, with Erza-sensei? How are you handling this?" Cana asked casually.
"Well, I am doing okay" Lucy said with some hesitance.
"Are you sure? You seemed to space out more than usual this morning" Cana said, as she took another sip from her drink.
"I did not!" Lucy said exasperated. "Was I really that obvious?" she continued, with some embarrassment.
"It's not like you were that obvious. But, I am sitting next to you" Cana responded with a shrug.
"Well, I noticed that too" Mirajane said, simply.
"Actually, so did I" Wendy added, with a small smile.
"Great! That makes me feel so good about myself" Lucy groaned, as she fell head first on the table.
"It's okay, Lucy! I don't think anyone else noticed" Mirajane tried to comfort her, patting her on the back.
"Except for Erza-sensei. She did kinda scold you, once" Wendy mentioned. "Not that she seemed angry or anything" she added hastily, waving her hands.
"It's fine, Wendy. Don't worry about it" Lucy mumbled reassuringly, trying to calm the young girl down. "Guys, what am I going to do?" she continued, as she raised her head.
"Well, it is a tough situation. I mean, you are a student, and she is a teacher. Not to mention, that you are both girls" Cana said, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.
"How do you feel about her, Lucy?" Mirajane asked, with a soft smile. Lucy didn't answer at once, instead she thought about it for a while. She thought about the first time she met her, how awestruck she was. How she was stunned by her beauty, her grace, her kindness. She remembered how she was one of the first people that welcomed her, that made feel like she belonged there. She thought how she felt every time she laid her eyes on her, when she came into the class. How her heart beat faster when she talked to her, when she praised her for a good answer, when she smiled at her. And lately, on more than one occasions, Lucy would find herself making some quite, intense thoughts about her teacher. She imagined the two of them being alone in the classroom. Lucy would then grab her, push her against her desk, and kiss her. She wondered how soft Erza's skin might feel, how sweet her lips might taste. She imagined her beautiful voice, coming out in moans, calling her name…
"Lucy! Hey, Lucy!" Mirajane's voice was suddenly heard.
"Huh? What, what happened?" Lucy stammered, as she snapped out of her day dream.
"You did it again! You spaced out! And Erza-sensei isn't even around this time!" Cana said, with an amused expression.
"Yeah, sorry about that! It seems that, I got carried away" Lucy said with a small smile, rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Really? You don't say!" Cana commented, chuckling.
"So, how do you feel about Erza-sensei?" Mirajane asked again, with a calm smile.
"Well, I really like her! I mean, I want to be around her as long as possible. I keep thinking about her all the time, and I can't wait to go to school so I can see her again!" Lucy said with a flushed expression. She remained silent for a while, before she continued her thoughts. "Now that I think about it, I guess I have actually fallen for her" she mumbled with a sheepish smile, as she raised her head and noticed the other girls looking at her with fond smiles.
"So it seems! In that case, things are actually more serious than I thought" Cana commented, with a light smile.
"This sounds wonderful, Lucy-san! It must be really great to feel like that about someone!" Wendy said enthusiastically, with a dreamy expression.
"I guess, it is a nice feeling! But sometimes, it's not very easy to handle" Lucy said slowly, as she lowered her head and clutched her chest. She then felt a light touch on her shoulder, and turned around, only to see Mirajane looking at her with a warm smile.
"If you really feel so strongly about Erza-sensei, then you should tell her, Lucy. You shouldn't hold this to yourself" she said, softly.
"But, how? How can I tell her something like this? I mean, she is a teacher!" Lucy asked, with a hint of despair.
"Maybe, but she is not that much older. Actually, she is pretty young for a teacher. But your feelings are too strong to keep them to yourself, Lucy. You should at least give it a shot!" Mirajane encouraged her.
"Do you really think she has a chance?" Cana said, slightly surprised at Mirajane's encouragement.
"Of course! If she likes Erza-sensei so much, she should give it a shot and be honest with her. Who knows, maybe she actually feels in a similar way. Don't you think so, Cana?" Mirajane responded, as she gave Cana a knowing look, causing her to widen her eyes in surprise.
"I guess you are right" the brown haired girl said, with a small smile, as she regained her composure.
"I agree, Lucy-san! You should give it your best!" Wendy said with a spirited voice.
"Everyone! Thank you!" Lucy said, with a grateful smile. "I will give it a shot! But for the moment, I think I should wait" she continued, thoughtfully.
"Of course! Take your time, Lucy! It would be better, if you don't rush into this. And if you need to talk to someone, then we are all here" Mirajane said, as Cana and Wendy nodded in agreement.
"I know! Thank you, guys" Lucy said, with a wide smile. The small group then continued chatting, enjoying their drinks, until they slowly left the café, and moved towards their apartments. Lucy made her way absent mindedly, thinking about her earlier discussion with her friends, until she nearly bumped on someone.
"Excuse me, sir! That was my bad" Lucy said hastily, dusting her uniform.
"Daydreaming as usual, aren't we? Miss Heartfilia?" a familiar voice was heard, causing Lucy to widen her eyes, and look up sharply.
"Er-Erza-sensei!" she stammered with a flushed expression, as her teacher looked at her, with a kind smile.
"You should be more careful when you are walking, Miss Heartfilia" she said softly.
"Yes-yes, Sensei! You are right, Sensei!" Lucy said stiffly, as she took a deep bow. The young teacher raised an eyebrow, and then let out a small laugh.
"It's okay, Lucy! You don't have to be so tense!" she said lightly. Lucy slowly raised her head and looked at her, feeling completely embarrassed.
"Sorry about that. So, um, where are you heading, Erza-sensei?" the blonde girl asked, timidly.
"I was heading to my apartment. Fortunately, it's not very far from the school" Erza said, pointing with her head towards a small road.
"Seriously? My place is that way too!" Lucy exclaimed, surprised.
"No kidding? How about we walk together, then?" Erza suggested, lightly.
"Really?! Of course! I'd love to!" Lucy squealed enthusiastically, before she cleared her throat. "I mean, sure! That would be nice, Sensei" she said with a calmer, almost formal, voice. Erza simply shook her head, amused at her student's antics.
"Let's move along then, Miss Heartfilia" she said, coolly. Lucy nodded, as the two of them made their way towards the small road. The blond girl tried to remain calm, and threw some occasional glances at her teacher, as she struggled to come up with a topic for discussion.
"So, how do you like our school so far?" the red haired teacher said, starting the conversation.
"Oh, it's great! Everyone is really nice! Although, they can be a little loud at times. But even this, is part of the school. I am really happy that I was able to transfer here" Lucy said enthusiastically.
"I'm glad to hear that. We are also happy to have you with us, Lucy! You are a really nice, kind, and quite intelligent girl! You are easily one of my best students!" Erza said, with an approving smile.
"I… Thank you, Sensei! It really means, a lot to me to hear you say that!" Lucy mumbled timidly, trying to hide her blush at her teacher's praise.
"You would be even better, if you didn't space out so often! May I ask, why does this keep happening? Is there anything that troubles you? Something that keeps your thoughts occupied?" Erza asked, with concern.
"Yeah, you! You are in my head, all the time!" Lucy wanted to say, but she knew it would be better to keep this to herself. "Well, there is something. But, I would prefer not say anything, for the moment at least" she responded, eventually.
"As you wish. But, if there is anything that you want to talk about, you are free to talk to me. I'll help you, anyway I can" Erza said, smiling kindly.
"I know! Thank you, Erza-sensei" Lucy responded, with a small smile.
A few weeks had passed, and Lucy managed to keep her feelings in check. She became more focused in class, although she would still space out occasionally. The weather had gradually become warmer. It was a sunny morning, as Lucy casually sat on her seat, waiting for another class to start. She remained almost indifferent towards the usual mayhem around her, leaning on her hand and watching vaguely at the board. Her attention was only drawn, when her favorite teacher walked in the class. Lucy checked her current outfit, Erza was dressed in a black skirt, which Lucy had the impression that it a little shorter than usual, and a light, white shirt. She looked as beautiful and alluring, as always. As Erza started writing some notes on the board, Lucy's mind started wandering again. The more she tried to keep her feelings in check, the hardest it seemed to control them, to the point where her affection for her teacher has also been enhanced by a strong desire. She imagined herself pinning Erza against the wall, filling her soft neck with heated kisses. Her long hair being wild and dishevelled, her eyes half closed with pleasure, her shirt unbuttoned, and her black skirt thrown to the floor. Lucy felt her face heat up and shook her head, trying to send those images away. She suddenly heard someone calling to her, and she was snapped out of her reverie.
"Miss Heartfilia, are you paying attention?" Erza said strictly with a clear voice, as she leaned in front of her. Lucy let out a yelp, and nearly fell of her chair.
"Wha-what?! How, when did she get so close?" she thought panicked, blushing furiously at the short distance. "Um, sorry, Erza-sensei! I'll try to be more focused" she mumbled shyly, avoiding her teacher's eyes, as she looked at the floor. Erza let out a small sight, and stood up.
"It's okay, Lucy! I suppose this weather does make it a little hard to concentrate. It certainly became hot, faster than expected. Don't feel bad about it! Just be patient for a little while longer! You and everyone else. We are almost done and soon you will all be able to enjoy this fine day, with a cold beverage" Erza said with a softer expression, as she folded her arms. Her comment was met with enthusiastic cheers from the all the students, except for a particular blond, who simply nodded with a small smile.
"Yeah, sure! The heat! How can she be that dense? She should at least, have some idea!" Lucy thought, with a hint of frustration. It wasn't long before the classes ended, and the students eagerly got out of the classroom.
"So, what shall we do?" Cana asked, as the small group moved in the hallway.
"It's a nice day! How about we grab some ice-cream and go for a walk?" Mirajane suggested.
"That's sounds like a great idea!" Wendy said enthusiastically.
"I agree, this sounds like fun! Oh, shoot!" Lucy groaned, as she looked inside her bag. "I forgot my notebook!" she said, with an annoyed expression.
"Come on, you can take it tomorrow! You don't have to go get it now" Cana said with a wave of her hand.
"It's okay, you guys go ahead. I'll catch up with you" Lucy said, as she turned around.
"Okay, Lucy. We'll be at the coffee place" Mirajane said, as the small group resumed its way. Lucy waved back, and run towards the classroom. She got inside quickly, walked into her desk, and put her notebook back in her bag. She turned around, and noticed that she wasn't alone in the classroom.
"Erza-sensei! Sorry, I didn't see you there" Lucy said, surprised.
"So I've noticed! You forgot something, I take it?" Erza said, as she folded her arms.
"Yeah, my notebook. Got it! So, um, good day, Sensei!" Lucy said hastily, as she walked towards the door.
"Lucy, wait! Now that you are here, I want to speak with you" Erza said with a serious expression, as Lucy moved slowly towards her.
"Yes? What is it, Erza-sensei?" she mumbled, with uncertainty.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your performance. You have improved, and you are even better than you were when the semester started!" Erza praised her.
"Thank you, Sensei!" Lucy said with a sheepish smile, avoiding her teacher's look.
"However, I have noticed that you still space out, even though not as many times as you did before. So, I wanted to ask you, if you are ready to speak to me about what's on your mind. I want you to know that you can trust me" Erza said, with a warm smile. Lucy looked at her teacher's warm and honest expression, and decided that it was time she took a chance.
"I know, Sensei! Well, it's a little, embarrassing, actually" she started, with a slight blush.
"Is it something, of a romantic nature?" Erza guessed, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, pretty much" Lucy responded, feeling her face heat up.
"I see! Young romance! So, there's someone that you like, and you keep thinking about that person. I get it that romance may be something important for your age, Lucy. But, it shouldn't distract you in class" Erza started, with a serious expression.
"It's you, Sensei! I keep thinking about you!" Lucy blurted out without thinking, unable to hold back.
"You, what?" Erza mumbled, with a stunned expression.
"I like you, Erza-sensei! I can't concentrate because, the one I keep thinking about is you! You are in my mind when I wake up, when I go to sleep! I can't wait to come to school, because I will be able to see you. I think, I have fallen for you, Erza-sensei!" Lucy said intensely, as she moved closer.
"Lucy, you…" the red haired teacher stammered, still surprised. "I- I am really flattered that you feel that way about me. You are a wonderful girl Lucy but, this cant's happen. I- I'm older than you!" she continued, trying to keep her voice steady.
"You are not that older! This is your second year of teaching, isn't it?" Lucy said, feeling more certain, as she took another step closer.
"That's true, but still! I am a teacher, and you are a student" Erza said, as she spontaneously took a step back.
"So what? I am not going to be a student forever, you know! I'm in my senior year! In a couple of months, I will no longer be a student!" Lucy insisted, as she moved even closer.
"Lucy, we can't!" Erza said slowly, moving backwards, until she felt something hard behind her. She noticed, that she had reached her desk, and Lucy was mere inches away from her. "Stop it! It's, not right" she said, feeling trapped.
"Why? How can you tell me that the way I'm feeling about you is wrong? When I'm around you, I feel all fuzzy and warm! Being around you, makes my heart beat so fast, and yet I feel, nice, happy! And I want to make you feel good, I want to see you smile! Is that really that wrong? How can that be?" Lucy said, as she was now so close, that she could feel her teacher's warm breath, smell her sweet scent. "Erza-sensei, I know that you feel something too! I can sense it. Don't move away!" the blonde girl said silently, as she put her arms around her teacher's waist, feeling her slightly tremble.
"Lucy you, you are right... I do have feelings about you! I think I had them, even before I realized it. But, we can't be together! At least, not yet! Maybe, after you graduate" Erza said, trying to push her student away.
"You mean it? So, you are saying yes? We can actually, be together?" the schoolgirl beamed enthusiastically.
"I suppose, we can give it a shot! We just need to wait, just for a little while longer" Erza responded with a small smile, feeling relieved in a way, as Lucy smiled back, joyfully.
"I'm so glad to hear that! I guess, I could wait for a while, if that makes you feel better" Lucy started, but realized the position they both were at that moment. A mischievous smile formed on her lips, as Lucy suddenly felt a burning sensation. "Until that time comes, how about we enjoy this moment? It will be our pact, that when I graduate, we'll be together! What do you think, Erza-sensei?" she said slowly, emphasizing her last words, as she leaned closer.
"Lucy, wait! We- we are inside the class!" Erza stammered, with a flushed face.
"Don't worry about it, there's no one around! It's just you and me here, Sensei!" Lucy whispered close to her ear, as she landed her lips on her soft neck. Erza let out a yelp, as Lucy started kissing tenderly the soft spot, her hand rubbing Erza's back slowly, while her other hand moved in the front, and unbuttoned the top buttons.
"Lucy what... are you doing?" Erza's voice trailed in a whisper, as she let out a soft moan.
"You are so beautiful, Erza-sensei!" Lucy whispered, staring at the young teacher deeply in her eyes, before she covered her lips in a heated kiss. The blonde schoolgirl kissed her teacher passionately, licking over her velvet lips, and savouring their sweet taste. Erza moaned heavily in the kiss, allowing Lucy to slip her tongue inside her mouth, as she caressed her exposed thigh. She broke the kiss, allowing her teacher to catch her breath briefly, before Lucy moved lower, planting heated kisses on her soft neck, her collarbone, and her exposed breasts, barely restrained by a black bra.
"We shouldn't be doing this, Lucy" Erza said weakly.
"Why? Doesn't it feel good, Sensei?" Lucy whispered teasingly.
"It feels, wonderful!" Erza mumbled with half lidded eyes, grabbing the edges of her desk firmly.
"I wanted this for so long! I will give you all the pleasure you want, Erza-sensei!" Lucy said, pushing her young teacher on the desk as she continued to enjoy her gorgeous body, eliciting heavy moans from her.
"Lucy, are you ready yet?" Erza's voice was heard, as she walked inside the apartment. Lucy let out a surprised yelp, as she jumped from her bed with a flushed expression, leaving her book on the bedside table.
"Yes, I'm ready! I'm coming, Erza!" she said, as she put on her light jacket hastily.
"What were you doing?" Erza asked with wonder, as Lucy nearly skipped in her living room.
"Nothing! I was just, um, reading something!" she said, with a nervous smile. Erza tilted her head in confusion, but decided to shrug it away.
"Okay then! Come on, let's go to the cake shop already!" she said eagerly, with a small smile.
"Of course, Erza! Let's go" Lucy nodded, as the two girl moved out of Lucy's apartment. As the two girls made their way in the city, holding hands, Lucy remembered with a mischievous smile, that Erza had a teacher outfit, among the others.
Author's note: I had the idea for a while now, so I decided to make this chapter. I wanted to make some sort of student/teacher romance, so Erza is a little older in this schoolfic chapter. The next chapter will probably start another mini arc, that I have in mind. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Let me know if you want me to make any other AU chapters like this. Reviews and thoughts will be greatly appreciated! Until next time!
