Kanji's POV
I stirred from my sleep and found Erza was in my bed with me. She always looked so peaceful when she was sleeping and today was no different. We were going to be moving a large amount of her things into my apartment today but I let her sleep for a little longer. It was nice just staying in bed like that without a care in the world.
"Hmm." Erza groaned as she started to wake up "Morning."
"Morning to you as well." I said giving her a kiss.
"Ready for an exciting day of carting things back and forth across town?" She asked.
"I'm ready but will our assistants be?" I pondered.
"I'm sure they'll be here soon so we better get ready to go." Erza said sliding out of bed and stretching.
"Yeah, Yeah." I let out a yawn and got out of bed as well.
We went through our usual morning routines and got dressed and ready to go.
"They'll be meeting us at the girl's dorm so let's get going." Erza said standing by the door.
"Okay." I grabbed my new coat off the back of the chair and we headed out the door.
The walk to Fairy Hills was nice. We saw some familiar faces as we strolled through town. Carole was out with her mother and she made a point to stop by and say hello to us.
"What have you been up to?" I asked.
"I've been going to school; I'm doing really well. I know all kinds of words. I can even read some of that book you bought me." She said "Gray said once I get older he'll help me practice and get really good. What are you guys doing?"
"We're going to move some of Erza's things into my apartment." I told her.
"Why is that?"
"Well Erza's going to be living with me now." I explained.
"Why?"
"Because we're getting married." Erza said showing Carole her ring.
"Why?"
"Because we love each other." We told her.
"Oh okay."
Good she stopped asking questions.
"Are you two gonna have a kid, and can she be my friend?" Carole asked.
"Whoa! A little soon to be talking about that pipsqueak." I said.
"Sure." Erza told her "But it may be a while before we have any, and we don't know if it will be a girl for sure."
"Oh, how are you so sure, do you know where babies come from?"
"Okay kid time to go back to your mom." I said shooing her off.
"Bye!"
"What a curious little girl." Erza smiled.
"She's too curious for a five-year-old." I told her.
We started heading getting back to our journey to Fairy Hills.
"Were you serious when you told Carole we were going to be having a child?" I asked.
"Yes." Erza said with a questioning look in her eye "Why do you not want children."
"No, it's fine." I told her "I was just surprised to see you tell her so matter of fact."
"Well I thought we were going to get started on the whole 'child' thing right after we got married." Erza said.
"You want kids that soon?" I asked.
"We have dangerous lives." She explained "I just want to make dsure I get the chance to be a mom."
"You will." I said wrapping my arm around her waist "I'll go as long as I have to in order to make sure you get the chance."
"Don't make it into something dirty like that." Erza said blushing as we climbed the hill to her dorm.
"Speaking of dirty I hope you don't plan on bringing all your dirty books into my apartment, they can stay here." I told her.
"Okay then I'll make sure to check the house for your girly magazines." She said.
"I told you Laxus put those there as a prank, those weren't mine! I only keep the ones that have you in them, and a few of Mira's"
"You better not." She said sternly.
"I was only kidding."
You'd kill me if I wasn't.
We reached the top of the hill and the others were already waiting for us so we could get started.
"Good morning boys." Erza said "Where's Lucy?"
"We were all set to go and she ran off." Natsu explained.
"Yeah it was really rude, as expected form Lucy." Happy joked "We tried to get Kage to come in her place but he was going on a mission with Laki so it's just us."
"I have better things to do today." Gray said "can we get a move on?"
Erza lowered the barrier so the Natsu, Gray and I could get inside. We climbed the stairs up to Erza's room and the whole time I couldn't shake the feeling someone was watching us.
"Gray-sama."
"Juvia why don't you give us a hand." Erza said unlocking the door.
"Does she have to?" Gray whined.
"More help means we'll get done faster." I told him entering the room.
Erza's room was as large and spacious as ever. Erza quickly got to giving us orders on what was coming with us.
"The bed's coming." She said.
"No it ain't!" I yelled "We already have one bed and that thing won't even fit in my apartment!"
"Why are we even moving all this stuff?" Natsu asked "Kanji's apartment already has half the things in this room. The couch, the bed, the dresser…"
"Natsu has a good point." Juvia added.
"I think we've done nothing but waste our own time." Gray commented "the only thing that has to go is Erza's clothes and we can just put that in a suitcase and wheel it over. All the furniture can stay here till you guys get an actual house."
"They have a good point. I guess this was just a waste of time." Erza said taking her clothes out of the dresser and putting them in a suitcase.
"Well this is awkward." I said "Sorry for dragging you guys out here."
"You owe me one." Gray and Natsu both said as they stomped out the door "We're gonna go look for Lucy."
"Wait don't pick that blonde bimbo over me!" Juvia yelled running after Gray, before she got to the door she stopped "Oh if you don't need the bed Juvia would happily take it."
"I'll break it apart and move it to your room." I told her "What am I doing with your old bed?"
"Thank you very much. You can move the old one to one of the empty rooms that way the next girl has one when she moves in."
I went out to the shed and grabbed the tools I need to disassemble Erza's old bed and move it to Juvia's room. When I got back inside Erza was moving piles of clothes into her many suitcases.
"Why do you own so much crap?" I said.
"All these outfits are too good to get rid of." She answered.
"Erza I don't even know if half this stuff fits anymore." I told her picking up a blouse "This can't possibly fit. When was the last time your butt was this small? When you were twelve?" I joked.
"Are you calling me fat?!" Erza said with a surprise, I held the skirt up to her waist and it didn't even get a third of the way down her thigh "I see what you mean."
"Dammit Erza you have to stop being such a hoarder." I told her walking up the communication lacrima in her room.
"I'm not a hoarder! What are you doing?"
"I'm calling Mira to come over here and help you clean out all this junk."
"I don't need Mira's help I can do it myself." Erza said.
"Yeah keep telling yourself that." I mumbled as Mira appeared on the screen.
"Good morning!" Mira said with her usual happy voice "How's your moving going, Gray and Natsu just left to go find Lucy." Mira said.
"Yeah turns out Erza just needs to move her clothes for now." I said "but she still has shits and stuff that haven't fit in years. Will you come here and help clean this junk out."
"What's this about Erza need to clean out her closet?!" Cana yelled walking up behind Mira "if this is a chance to see Erza's kiddy clothes we'll be right over!"
"Cana and I will be there shortly." Mira said as she hung up.
I went back to work trying to figure out how to take this damn canopy bed apart. After ten minutes I had only managed to unscrew one support.
I'm gonna have to put this this back together.
"Hello!" Mira said entering the room.
"Yo!" Cana cheered.
I looked down form my position on the bed and said hello.
"I really don't need any help." Erza told them.
"Look at all these clothes!" Mira said "Erza why do you have this stuff?"
"They look good." Erza said.
"Yeah but do they fit?" Cana asked picking something out of the pile "This sure doesn't!"
I looked down to see Cana manhandling one of Erza's bras.
"Erza this is a B-cup. You haven't been that small in forever. Why do you still own this?" she looked at me and raised an eyebrow "You want it?"
"No Cana, throw out the stuff that doesn't fit."
"Maybe you want Erza to keep it; I bet you'd love to see her bursting out of this little thing."
"Knock it off Cana you're embarrassing them" Mira told her "Come one Erza let's get to work sifting through all this stuff."
The girls made quick work of the pile and I continued my battle with the bed frame. I only had a few more pieces to spate and then I'd be able to move it. I had written down how I disassembled the bed so hopefully I'd be able to put it back together if I read the instructions backwards.
"See Erza that wasn't so bad." Mira said clapping her hands.
There were two piles of cloths, a very tiny one and one about three times bigger.
"Which one's the keep pile?" I asked.
"That one." Cana said gesturing to the tiny pile. "Who knew Erza was such a hoarder."
"I'm not a hoarder!"
"Whatever, thanks for your help girls." I said dragging a pile of wood out into the hallway.
I opened the door to Juvia's room and dragged the parts in. I started assembling the bed and looked around and saw a creepy amount of Gray themed merchandise.
She needs some help.
Fortunately the bed only took me an hour to get back together since now I knew what I was doing. When I finished up with putting the bed back together I dragged the old one into the empty room next door. Once I finished my labor I found Erza, Mira and Cana in the kitchen. Right before I entered I overheard them talking.
"You're already talking about kids." Mira said.
"Well it's just a thought right now." Erza told her.
"Why is it just a thought?" Cana asked "If you want one so bad drag your man to bed and make one."
"We're not even married yet!" Erza yelped out "I'm waiting till then."
"Lame!" Cana yelled "You're young experience those joys while you have the chance."
"Leave Erza alone Cana." Mira defended "They can do all that when they're ready. Besides the wedding isn't too far off."
I entered the room and made my way right to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.
"Have you set a date yet?" Mira asked.
"A date for what?" I asked pretending I didn't know what they were talking about.
"Your wedding dumbass." Cana said.
"No we hadn't really thought about it too much." Erza explained.
"Well you can't wait forever." Mira said "how about here." She said pointing to a spot on the calendar she had taken out "We can do it a few days after the S-Class exam; it'll be a good time since everyone will be in town to see who passed the test."
I looked at Erza "That sounds like a good idea; I mean it's better than nothing." I told her.
"Alright then after the S-Class exam." Erza said.
"Yay!" Mira cheered "I'm so excited we have so much to do. You need to get a flowers and a venue, oh and a dress of course. You need to pick bridesmaids and a ton of other stuff." Mira said getting all excited.
"I don't mean to put you on the spot Hun, but have you thought about who's going to be your Maid of Honor?"
"Actually I have." Erza said "Will you Mira?"
"What…"
"I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have by my side then my best friend." Erza told her.
"Of course Erza! I'd love to!" Mira said giving her a big hug.
I was pretty sure Mira was tearing up a little but I didn't say anything.
Sometimes I forget how close those two really are.
"What about you?" Erza asked "Any ideas for a Best Man?"
"I have a short list but I really need to sit and think about it." I told her "It's still early why don't we head back to the guild." I said "We can drop you suitcase of clothes off on the way there."
"It's been a long morning." Cana said "I need a drink."
Erza grabbed her suitcase and we headed out for the guild.
