Jellal POV
Jellal's day had been pretty tranquil so far. His class was on a field trip to Mercurius castle and he didn't have any paperwork left to do, meaning he could relax on his own and not have to constantly interact with people. And of course...partake in my favourite, most pathetic passtime. By this of course he meant watching his childhood friend, Erza Scarlet, without her noticing him. Everything has felt so weird since Ultear made her little "joke". She knows perfectly well how I feel about Erza and still commented and ruined my life just to spite me! I've barely talked to her now outside of Student Council meetings...she's probably realized how I feel now and will never look me in the eye ever again because she's so weirded out. Fucking Ultear. Jellal thought scathingly. Though, her avoidance did enable him to indulge in his guilty pleasure of watching her candidly without her notice...but it also deprived him of those glorious moments when her body would make contact with his. He groaned aloud. He missed the stimulation he'd experience when she would hug him, or when she would accidentally let her breast make contact with his bicep... Or, best of all, those few times when I'm sitting down and she hugs me from behind and lets her tits rest against my back. He spent the next few minutes daydreaming about how those perky, delicious mounds had felt pressed against him. And now I get none of that, all because stupid Ultear couldn't pass up an opportunity to make my life miserable.
He sighed, watching Erza as she trailed behind Natsu. She looks so picturesque here, her hair matches the scarlet roses. He smiled. She really did look like a fairy, walking gracefully through the flower gardens, hips swaying side to side, hypnotizing him. I guess they don't call her Titania for nothing he mused. He was thankful that it was the first really warm day of spring, where it felt more like summer in temperature, yet was still dewy enough to feel fresh. It also meant that Erza wore her legs bare, and her skirt a good four inches higher, giving Jellal a fantastic view of her toned thighs, and an occasional teasing glimpse of that area where her legs met her ass whenever the wind picked up. Despite being a strict Student Council President, Erza had never been much of a stickler for dressing modestly, much to Jellal's chagrin. It was his bed sheets that were the true victims of Erza's skimpy outfits.
Summer is coming...that means Erza might start tanning in her backyard soon! Jellal thought excitedly. Year after year, this was one of his favourite times. Ever since Erza had first started growing breasts, he had watched her longingly while she tanned from his bedroom window. It was the perfect vantage point for being able to get a good view of her body, while being able to hide quickly if she sensed him watching. I really am a creep. I need to stop thinking like a horndog. To be fair, it was difficult not to be a horndog when in such close proximity all the time to Erza, she just overwhelmed his senses and he loved it. He doubted any other guy in his position would pass up the chance to sneak a peak - Jellal was just acting like a normal, teenage boy...Yet thinking that other teenage boys would do the same thing left a sour feeling in his stomach. I guess there's no winning when you're a pervert...He gave in and allowed himself to take note of Erza's hourglass shape, the way her body got narrow at the waist, flaring out at her hips and bust. Speaking of her bust, it was far too large for her poor blouse, practically begging to pop out of the confine, straining at the buttons. Jellal wiped away a trickle of blood stemming from his nose. I'm really not making any headway on this whole "don't be a pervert" goal of mine. Stupid hormones make it impossible for me to be smooth.
Suddenly, he felt a jab in his side. "Daydreaming about slaying my sister's pussy again, Fernandes?" Jellal stopped abruptly, spluttering on his words. "I - I don't - I'm not thinking about that kind of thing!" He said, his face turning bright red. Laxus was Erza's adoptive brother...or nephew, Jellal wasn't quite sure how those kind of technicalities worked, especially since Erza's adoptive father, Makarov, had kicked out Laxus' dad and his son, Ivan. Regardless, Laxus seemed to have a good idea about how Jellal regarded his foster sibling, given that he had dropped out of school briefly and was subsequently placed in their grade, despite being older. It wasn't unusual for him to make remarks about how Jellal wanted Erza. Thankfully he made enough of those kind of remarks in general that Erza didn't take them seriously.
"C'mon dude, anyone with eyes can see how you're pining after her like a dog in heat. Just take your bitch and seal the deal already!" He said with a wink. "Don't talk about us like we're animals! Also, keep your voice down, Erza's right in front of us." Jellal was now blushing so hard it felt like his entire torso had gone red. "Whatever man, any other guy in your position would have gotten their dick wet in her already, and I know it's not a lack of you wanting it. Maybe you're just too much of a masochist to make it happen...seriously though, make a move and grow some balls already, even if you'd rather have her pulling you by them. Otherwise nothing's going to happen, and I'll continue to have to listen to your pathetic subliminal pleas to her to help you rub one out, only for her to not understand anything because she's so fucking thick headed. You could be swimming in an ocean of poon, but instead you spend your days locked in your room watching Scarlet in a bikini with your underwear around your ankles. Man, I can't understand you. Hell, I could've banged her by now if I'd wanted to. We're not blood related, and she came late enough that I don't feel like she's actually my sister. You're lucky that I respect you enough to not try anything, kid" Laxus finished with a small chuckle.
Jellal raised his hand, ready to strike Laxus. Even though Laxus was taller and more muscular than him, Jellal had found them to be roughly on par fighting-wise from P.E. class. But...No, if we brawled here, it would mean more paperwork for me and Erza, plus the possibility that we would destroy something... He clapped his hand to Laxus' shoulder, holding it firmly to speak next to his ear. "We'll discuss this further later." He stated calmly. Just then, he noticed that Erza was approaching them. Oh God! Please don't let her have heard any of that!
"Hey guys! Jellal can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked as she drew near them. "Of course you can!" Laxus said loudly, letting out a booming laugh and winking crudely to Jellal as he walked away. Jellal tried to will his blush away, and hoped desperately that it was working. Erza fell in pace with him and began to speak. "I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking responsibility for watching over Natsu while I use the washroom. Just make sure that he doesn't break anything, embarrass our school, or have any impact on this place whatsoever. Please? I'll be quick!" She begged him. He was truly a sucker when she begged him for anything. Had anyone else asked him to do this, he probably would have scoffed at their request for him to give up any tranquility in his day and shut them down promptly. But having her in front of him, her eyes pleading and that little bead of sweat he was not watching sliding down from her collarbone to in between her cleavage...it doesn't sound too tough he found himself thinking. He gulped. "Sure" He told her. "Thank you!" She jumped, briefly grabbing his arms on either side, before rushing off to use the restroom.
His idea that watching Natsu for a short time would be a simple feat turned out to be completely wrong. Not long after he had switched out with Erza, Natsu began running around like a toddler on their first sugar rush. Jellal chased him, yelling at him to slow down, but was ignored. Finally, he managed to reach him. "Listen Natsu, you need to slow down. Stay right here, okay?"
"But I wanna go into the rose bush labyrinth!" He exclaimed excitedly. Jellal looked beside them and saw that they were indeed next to walls of massive rose hedges that towered above their heads. A few feet away was an entrance, with a sign saying 'Rose Garden Labyrinth'. "I never knew rose bushes could grow so high…" Remarked Jellal in wonder. "Must be magic" Commented Natsu.
Just then, Jellal heard a drunken cry of "OOOoooo! A Rose Garden Labyrinth? That sounds fun!" He looked over and saw Cana walking over to them with a drunken gait. She was carrying what appeared to be...two six-packs of beers? How on Earthland did she manage to get that in here without anyone noticing?
"Excuse me Cana" He called out to her. "What?" She replied clumsily. "I'm afraid that you can't drink any alcohol on this trip - it's only a few hours. I'll have to confiscate that beer from you." He said bluntly. "Awee, but hours without alcohol are scary. I don't like living in a scary world Jellal, do you?" She was barely coherent as it was. He could not allow her to drink any more. "Unfortunately we all have to do things that scare us sometimes." He sighed.
"Really?" Cana smirked, a cheeky grin on her face. "How about we make a deal then? I'll go time without alcohol, if you fess up to Titania on all the nasty, dirty things you think about doing to her. Deal?" "No deal!" Yelled Jellal, turning red again. "I'm taking these" He said, grabbing the twelve beers out of her hands.
"Fine, whatever spoilsport. I'll give them to you with the recommendation that you stick it in her already. Anyway, it's not fair that you let Natsu enter the maze and not me." She huffed. "W-WHAT?" Jellal yelled, looking around. It seemed that Natsu had indeed entered the maze while they were talking, as he was no longer behind Jellal. FUCK. Erza's gonna kill me.
Right on cue, Erza came in view, jogging to catch up to them, her breasts bouncing lightly in rhythm with her pace. Now is not the time for that Jellal. You are on your deathbed. "Hey" She said with a frown. "Where's Natsu?"
