A/N: Slightly OOCness.


"This coat needs washing."

Jellal told Erza with a slightly amused tone when he entered the bedroom after talking the shower, seeing her holding the coat which he had been wearing for a week during his last mission to her face.

"No." Erza answered firmly; her voice muffled by the coat. "It has your scent on it."

Jellal chuckled. "It certainly does."

Climbing into their bed, he wrapped his arms around Erza's waist from behind and kissed her on the side of her neck.

"But I'm back. I'm here." Lowering his voice, he whispered to her ear. "And I'll start to get jealous of my coat if you continue to play more attention to it than to me."

Finally putting down the coat on the mattress, Erza turned her head around to face Jellal; a smirk danced on her lips.

"I miss you."

Jellal didn't have the chance to respond as Erza pressed her lips against his. Closing his eyes, he tilted his head and kissed her back lazily, letting her take the lead as she liked. When she began nibbling his upper lip, he took the hint and parted his lips, allowing her tongue to slip inside his month to play with his.

"I miss you too, Erza. And I love you." He told her breathlessly once their lips parted.

"I love you too, Jellal." Erza smiled sweetly at him with a playful gleam in her eyes. "And the kiss proves that you are definitely more worthy of my attention than your coat dose."

A soft yet hearty laugh left Jellal's mouth. "I'm truly glad to know that. Thanks for assuring me."

"But I still want to keep your coat."

Jellal quirked a curious eyebrow at Erza. "Did something happen to my old Crime Sorciere's coat?"

"It didn't smell like you anymore." Erza frowned a little, apparently being troubled by the lost of the item which gave her comfort when Jellal was not around her for a period longer than she liked. "But it's natural, I guess, since you haven't worn it for a long time already."

"Therefore you want one that smells like me as a replacement." Jellal concluded for her and took a moment to consider her request. "Sure you can keep this coat and I will wear the old one instead."

Erza's face immediately lit up and she gave Jellal a peck on the lips to show her appreciation for his offer before grabbing the coat on the mattress and folding it up. She then got out the bed and pulled open the drawer under their bed to put the coat inside it. When she stood up again, she was holding Jellal's old Crime Sorciere's coat in her hands instead.

"But dose this still fit you, Jellal?" She eyed uncertainly between the coat and Jellal. "I think you have gained an extra bit of weight ever since we moved in together."

Now it was Jellal's turn to frown.

"I don't think the same." Getting out the bed as well, Jellal stood beside Erza. "Could I have the coat?"

Taking the coat from Erza, Jellal smoothly put it on.

"I think it still fits me perfectly." He said with a relieved smile as he checked himself through the mirror.

Erza nodded wearing an approved smile as she stared at Jellal's reflection in the mirror. "You surely still look good in it."

"Actually," Raising one hand to his face, Jellal sniffed the sleeve of the coat. "this coat now smells like you, Erza."

"R-really?"

"Yes. And it makes me like this coat more than I did before." He turned and looked at her adoringly as the smile on his face widened.

Erza couldn't help but blush as her eyes met his because Jellal looking genuinely happy was one of those things about Jellal which would turn her on. Averting her gaze, she cupped her red cheeks with her palms.

"Y-you like it. T-that's good. I like it too, of course. It smells good, and it feels soft and warm." She started rambling and talking in a timid voice. "Sometimes I'd wear it to sleep without putting on my pajamas. The touch of its fabric on my skin felt really nice."

"Well if you like it that much…" Jellal slipped off the coat, feeling hot all of a sudden as he imagined Erza lying on their bed wearing his coat unbuttoned, showing off her ample asset covered in nothing but her sexy lingerie. "You can still have it back later when it smells like me again by swapping it with the one you have now. But for now…"

He picked her up in bridal style in one swift motion causing her to squeal. Gently laying her down on the mattress, he got into the bed and climbed on top of her body.

"Shall we forget about the coat but spend our time on enjoying each other's company to the fullest?"

Giggling, Erza wrapped her arms around his neck. "We definitely should."
