This is going to probably be a short chapter, to balance out the long one I did last chapter.


For that whole night, Erza laid there, her hair spread out beneath her, she felt better about having to see no ugly bastard wake her up with anything, shards of glass, an angry stray cat, a bunch of bikers, a taser.. She felt like the whole universe was lifted from her shoulders. She was finally save in a little haven, her childhood friend felt at ease having her there.. And she felt at home, even if it wasn't even her own home. Just a nice place to stay, with nice people. She never wanted to see her father ever again, but as fate had it.. She finally fell asleep.

Her dream felt like a waking nightmare, her father stood there, with a gun pointed to a little girl's head.. She recognized that little girl. It was her. Minerva stood next to her horrible father, wearing even more painful looking high heels. All she heard was a gunshot, and the little girl that she used to be fell down in front of her father, bleeding out. She tossed and turned in the bed she fell asleep in.

She woke up in a cold sweat as horrible memories flooded her mind. "Ah.." Erza mumbled, getting up slowly, her knee hurt more than before, and she realized the bandages were torn, and blood seeped from her wound. "Shit..!" Erza gasped in pain, and realized her hands were covered in blood. Her own blood. "I hate this.. I hate that nightmare.." Erza growled to herself, careful of being quiet because of the young medic in the bed next to her's.

She got out of the bed slowly, and stepped out into the dark hallway, and chose a door to go in, believe it to be Jellal's room. And thank goodness she was correct, she looked around his dark room, and stumbled over to his bed, where the blue haired teen laid there, staring at the ceiling. He turned to Erza, His blankets were kicked off the bed, and Erza looked at his knee, where scratch marks and blood stained. "Your.. Knee.." Erza gasped quietly. "Huh..? I.. Just woke up pretty much.. Damn.. My knee hurts.." Jellal bit his lip and got out of the bed and walked into the bathroom, turning on the light. "How did this happen..? I had a dream.. Where I stood next to you and watched you cry your eyes out..." Jellal sighed quietly, Erza followed him to the bathroom, she grabbed the bandages Wendy had left out next to the sink.

"Maybe.. Our dreams were connected or something.. I don't know.." Erza mumbled, cleaning Jellal's knee and wrapping it up carefully. She did the same to her own knee, taking the other bandages and putting them into the garbage, cleaning her knee and wrapping it up gently. "Wouldn't that be strange, huh?.." Jellal awkwardly stated, blushing a little bit. "I don't want you to cry, by the way, Erza." Jellal smiled a little, getting up slowly to hug Erza. "Thanks.. I don't want you to cry either.." Erza smiled, wrapping her arms around him. They stood there for a little bit. "Come on, I wanna.. Give you something, I wanted to give it to you earlier today but those.. Events happened." Jellal whispered quietly, placing his head on her's.

"Huh..?" Erza questioned, Jellal went back into his room, and grabbed two things. "Come on, Erza." Jellal beckoned and Erza followed him slowly. He stood out on a balcony next to his room, and the full moon was out, a little bit was gleaming in his hazel eyes. Erza stepped out onto the balcony, staring at the moon with full eyes. "It's beautiful.." Erza gasped, smiling happily. "It's really pretty, Jellal. Do you think so?" She asked, and Jellal pointed towards two chairs and a table with strawberry cake and a bouquet of roses on it. Erza's eyes lit up, and she almost cried. "I'm kinda happy that it's a full moon." Jellal said,smiling, he stood still, looking at the moon. Erza stood next to him, reaching for his hand. "Me too." Erza agreed, holding his hand tightly. "I.. Um.." Erza blushed. "Love you.." She continued, biting her lip. Jellal's cheeks became red. "You.. Do?" Jellal gasped, hiding his face slightly. Erza nodded. "Well.. I love you too. I always have." Jellal smiled, and wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her tightly. Erza got on her tippy toes a little bit, and kissed him. Jellal was super shocked. His cute childhood friend (and also major crush) just kissed him.

Erza pulled away, blushing. "I've.. wanted to do that for a while now.. C-Cause your really nice to me.. And just.. A great guy.. And I love you.." Erza bit her lip, looking around frantically. Jellal stood in front of her, smiling as the blush on his cheeks didn't go away. Jellal moved closer towards her, patted her head, and kissed her cheek. "I really do love you." Jellal whispered into her ear, and hugged her tightly. "I love you so much, Erza. Nobody else can match the love I have for you." He stated, smiling happily. As she heard his monotone voice replay those words over and over in her head, she felt safe. Safer than she ever felt before.

"Eat up, Erza. My mom helped me make the cake.. Eheh.." Jellal nervously said, rubbing the back of his head gently. "Okay!.. I dont want it to be just me. Please eat some too.. I'll feel... Fat." Erza laughed, hugging him tightly. "Okay okay.." Jellal rolled his eyes and sat down at the table after Erza sat down.

Erza grabbed a spoon that was next to the cake and she started to dig in. "Its.. So good, Jellal!.." Erza gasped, she had never tasted anything like it since she was little because her father didn't like strawberry cake and he said it reminded him of their 'traitor' mother. "Have some too!.." Erza handed Jellal the spoon, and moved the cake towards him.

"Alright." Jellal smiled and grabbed the spoon, getting a spoonful of cake, he put it in his mouth, it was indeed 'so good'. He smiled and handed her back the spoon, and she ate more of the cake. Time flew by and they finished the cake together, feeling full. "Hey, Jellal?.. I wish I could sleep in your room. But I'm sure your mom would think strangely of it." Erza laughed, getting out of her seat to hug him again.

He let her hug him, "Yeah.." He nervously said, he took her inside and grabbed the bouquet of roses, handing them to her, she blushed at the fact she almost forgot about the roses. The two of them said goodnight to each other, and Erza headed to Wendy's room to go back to bed and Jellal sat on his bed, thinking about her.

'So.. I guess we're a thing now.' The two of them thought.


I didn't mean to make this a long chapter. I guess I have a writing bug. I really can't stop writing today. I guess I'm in the mood.
