14 | Is That So?

Erza

"Hello and welcome to the Grand Magic Games!" The announcer's voice sounds from the lacrimas around the arena, "I hope you're all ready because things are about to get hot!"

I hear Gray scoff from behind me, "Wow, could he be anymore lame?"

I smile at his antics, "Oh c'mon Gray, it's not like you have said anything like that before,"

"Well yah, but at least I don't say it in front of thousands of people," Gray says, rubbing the back of his neck.

"When do you think Natsu and Happy will get here?" I ask him.

"After they ran out this morning? I'll be surprised if they even show up," He replies, to my surprise.

"I thought you said they went training," I say, a little angrily.

"Uh—yah," Gray stutters, "They did but you know Natsu, the daft pyro says a lot of things," He says.

I narrow my eyes at him suspiciously, then think about what he says for a minute, "I guess you're right, maybe you should go look for them," I say, more as an order rather than a question.

"Yes mam!" Gray says, then rushes off.

Good. He knows better than to mess with me.

While Gray goes and searches for Natsu, I can go on my own little mission.

I'm lucky Lucy decided not to come to breakfast with us this morning otherwise I wouldn't be able to do this. Then again, I shouldn't really be doing this at all.

I walk away from the side of the arena where Fairy Tail Team A and B would stand towards the infirmary in the hallways of the arena. Once I get to where I'm going, I quickly make sure no one's watching to see me enter the door and quickly walk inside the infirmary, and lock the door behind me.

"I didn't know the great Queen Titania could be so secretive," A familiar voice comes from behind me, making me smile.

"Says the boy who can practically cause a riot just by mentioning his own name," I say, turning around to look at the blue-haired mage.

"Is there a reason as to why you wanted to meet in the infirmary, not to mention in secret?" Jellal says, curiosity edging his voice.

"Of course," I say in a teasing tone, "I just wanted to know how your fiancé was doing,"

Although his face is neutral, I see the edge of his lips quirk, "She's doing fine,"

"Really?" I say, feigning shock, "I thought she would've been a little upset, considering you've been engaged for what? Two years?"

"Three," He responds watching my every move with sharp eyes, "And surprisingly no, she hasn't made any complaints, at least that I'm aware of,"

"Is that so?" I respond, walking towards him.

"Yes," He says, walking towards me as well.

Finally, we reach each other.

I don't waste a second, and neither does he. I pull on the collar of his shirt, bringing his lips towards mine.

"I missed you," I whisper against his lips.

"I missed you too," He says, then I feel him smile against my lips, "I didn't know that great Erza Scarlet could be so passionate about things other than sides,"

"Oh shut up," I say, smiling, pulling away from him.

"Only for you," He replies, smiling back.

All of a sudden, I remember where we are and head back to the door of the infirmary, "We should head back, the games are about to start soon," I say, looking back him, "Speaking of which, you have a lot of explaining to do tonight,"

"Since when do I not have a lot of explaining to do?" He calls after me.

I simply laugh at his words, and walk back towards the outside of the arena.

However, once I get there, the only people I find are Natsu and Lucy.

"Are ya ready Luce?" Natsu asks her enthusiastically.

Lucy sighs, "I guess," She says, not very excited though.

Huh? I wonder why.

Natsu must notice this too, "What's wrong Luce?"

Lucy simply looks at him, "You know what's wrong Natsu,"

Natsu looks at her and gives her a small smile, "Yah, I know Luce, but there's nothing we can do about it now," He says, then grabs her, surprisingly gently, and pulls her into a hug which, even more to my surprise, Lucy returns gratefully.

Since when did they started acting like this? I know they have been getting closer, but I didn't know they were getting quite this close. What happened that has Lucy so bothered, and made them get this close?

All of a sudden Natsu pulls away from the embrace, "Gray's coming, chances are Erza's with him too,"

Stupid dragon abilities! How did he not notice me before though?

Lucy nods in response, and pulls away from the sweet embrace as well.

"Well there you two are!" Gray exclaims, coming from the main entrance of the arena, "I've been lookin' for you two all over the place!" He says, then looks around, "Where's Happy and Erza?"

"Happy's with Carla and Wendy who went to check on the other team and Erza?" Lucy says, "I don't know where she is,"

"I'm right here," I say, coming out of the hallway of the arena.

"Great, that means everyone from Fairy Tail Team A is at least in the arena, so we can start trying to figure out what today's game will be," Lucy says, a determined look on her face.

"Let's do this!" Natsu says, smiling.

How can they act so normal after what just happened?

I shake my head, time to focus on the games, not things that aren't any of my business. Yet.

"First," I say, "We need to figure out who's on the Raven Tail and Phantom Lord team,"

They all nod in response.

"Alright then," I say, "Let's get started,"
