Prompt: Pumpkins
Erza's insistence on decorating perfectly good gourds was bewildering to the former members of Oracion Seis. It wasn't as if the innards and seeds weren't saved to be used in their meals, but the sheer volume of it had them dreading their meals for the next week.
It was, however, somewhat fun to lob the glop at each other, and particularly at Sorano (so Erik discovered).
Later, when they were all exhausted from carving the tough gourds and their impromptu food fight and grinning like mad fools, Macbeth realized that before Erza had arrived in their lives, they had been pretty much devoid of all things fun.
It was, to his chagrin, somehow more difficult to resent her for her presence after that epiphany.
