Prompt: Shiver


Drunk Erza – it turned out – was an absolute terror, but not nearly as much as a hungover Erza proved to be the next morning. A raging migraine and a sensitivity to sound did not make Erza a pleasant person to be around (though it could be said that it became more difficult to tell her and Erik apart, with her bedhead just as spiky as the dragon slayer's).

Having been tasked with the morning coffee, Macbeth dutifully handed the irate redhead's mug to her without attempting conversation.

She gratefully accepted the offering and the silence that accompanied it with a look of profound gratitude upon her face, her hand brushing against Macbeth's.

This contact, combined with her expression and the memory of her words the night before, brought out a profoundly odd shudder in Macbeth – one he was very much not interested in thinking further about.
