Erza was rampaging down the hall, looking for Natsu's room and Jellal. Why Natsu, you ask? Because he had fireworks.
And fireworks are always a romantic touch to… oh, wait, I don't think that's entirely what she wanted to do with them.
Anyway, we now find Miss Erza Scarlet smashing a statue of… some old guy (I can't really tell who it used to be anymore) with her bare hand.
Erza was mad.
Oh yeah.
Very, very mad.
So mad, in fact, that when Makarov came running to stop her, he skidded to a stop, took one look at her, and decided to retreat to the safety of his room and his stuffed bear, Mr. Ploopinackerackerschnookinploop, Ploopy for short. (Hey, you didn't hear it from me…)
So you can see why Jellal hesitated just a little when he heard the sounds of destruction coming from the hallway.
"Dude, what did you do?!": Sting cried, cowering behind a flowerpot. Natsu was behind the other flowerpot, muttering something that sounded suspiciously like, "I want Happy… and Lucy… and screw it, even Mommy…"
"Uh… Right. I'll go calm her down." Jellal inched toward the corner, dreading what he might find. And then Erza stormed around it for him.
She was emitting some kind of dark aura, her hair was standing up on end, and she was, needless to say, scowling. Her clothes were ripped, and she was smashing the wall, roaring,
"WHERE'S JELLAL?!"
In other news, Jellal thought she was gorgeous. Everyone else did not agree.
"Erza?" he called. "Hey, Erza! I can explain! Put down the iron stick thingy!"
Erza, seeing him, blinked and froze. In a tiny voice, she said,
"Jellal?"
"Yeah. What're you doing?"
She looked down at the stick in her hands, and her expression hardened.
"You," she seethed, "Asked Ultear out!"
Jellal blinked. Blinked again. " I did no such thing."
"Lucy and Levy saw you!'
"What? What, exactly, did they see?"
"You told Ultear to meet you at the 'usual place'! And all winky, too!"
Jellal sighed and told a not-really-but-kind-of-a-lie. "Erza, that was for our club meeting. I'm the president of the club, so I have to make sure everyone gets there on time. If Lucy and Levy had bothered to stalk me for a bit longer, they would've seen me do the same thing to lots of people."
Erza stared at him. "Oh."
A long, awkward pause followed.
"Why did you freak out so much, anyway? Who cares if Ultear and I are together?" he asked.
Stupid question.
"Who cares?!" Erza snapped. "I can't believe you seriously just asked me that!"
Jellal winced. Oops. Bad move. "No… That came out wrong…"
"Yes/ And what did you mean then?"
"Uh… Well, I…. I meant…. Why do you care if Ultear and I go out?"
Erza just stared at him. "Boys!"
She grabbed his collar and leaned in, so close that he felt her warm breath on his face.
"Because," she hissed. "I like you! Okay?!"
Jellal blinked. 'You… You do?"
"Yes!"
"Uh… Well…" Jellal was at a loss for words. Sting facepalmed so loudly that everyone could hear it, calling,
"Dude! She likes you! And you like her! Just get together already!"
"Wha… What?!" Jellal stammered as Erza turned the color of her hair.
"So, uh… So does this mean that… We're…" Erza fiddled with her hair.
"Um… I guess that means…"
A long, awkward pause followed.
And then,
"RUINING THE MOMENT!" a loud voice shrieked.
Guess who ruined the moment?
When's Angel gonna show up?
