It's been way too long since I updated :( So sorry everyone, but as I said in my fanfic that I updated yesterday, I have two reasons as to why it took me so long to update, writers block and my relationship. I won't go into details because I honestly don't want to waste that much time on my Author's Note, even though the majority of the time they are way too long anyways.
Although I'm going to take a tiny bit of space to say that I finally got up to the episode in Fairy Tail where Jellal and Erza almost kiss and when they didn't I almost threw my computer across the room (Whoa, psycho, I know!), I was so disappointed :(
I'm also sorry that I spent so much time with the Lucy part rather than the Jellal part but that was actually intentional. I'm not sure why, but yeah... I'm so weird :P I can't really explain it so I'll just say that it'll all make sense later on.
I've seriously got way to many reviews to reply to so I'm gonna be extremely lazy and write the names of everyone who reviewed my last chapter.
To JerzaShipper12, Anon (guest), JerzaxJerza (guest), penguin trainer (guest), iLoveFairytaiLz, JERZAADDICT4EVER (guest), Erza Scarlet Titania, EndingSilly (guest), Jerza Fernandes, duh herro, GunnerPuppy, NekoMataDemon, fxwritersblock, BlackCatNeko999, severedserenity, Thunderfall, TsundereFairy, Weeirdinwonderland and Lillyviolet, thank you all so much for your reviews.
Enjoy~!

Chapter 5: Panic, Confusion and a complete lack of Romance

Erza's POV

Monday.

5:30 AM: Wake up, shower, make-up, hair.

6:00 AM: Breakfast which consisted of eating a small tub of yogurt in the longue room with Lucy. Levy is still asleep and it appears that Juvia didn't come home last night.

6:15 AM: Lisanna bursts in the apartment shouting something about romance, passion and pink hair.

6:30 AM: Juvia arrives home with bags under her eyes, her hair messed up and her clothes dishevelled. When questioned about her whereabouts, she blushed and told us it was a secret.

7:00 AM: Levy wakes up and realises that we have 30 minutes before we have to leave, she begins to panic before I through her clothes at her and shoved her into the shower (gently of course).

7:30 AM: Left for uni and arrived with 10 minutes before the first lesson.

8:00 AM: First Lesson – Advanced Mathematics. Spent lesson texting Lucy under the desk about her Trig lesson with Loke.

9:00 AM: Second Lesson – Drama. Worked on monologue that's due Friday.

10:00 AM: First Break – Went to the student canteen with Lisanna since Lucy, Levy and Juvia were stuck in detention. Then Natsu came over and the two left together.. Chatted with Mirajane for the rest of the break.

10:30 AM: Third Lesson – Visual Arts. Began art project that's due at the end of the term. Helped Lucy and Natsu with ideas for their projects.

11:30 AM: Fourth Lesson – Martial Arts. Sparred with Laxus and Gajeel. Went overboard and they're now in sickbay.

12:30 PM: Fifth Lesson – Design. Made a list of materials needed for my assignment that's due in 5 weeks. Refined the sketch of the dress I'm designing.

1:30 PM: Lunch – Got chased by a group of boys calling themselves the Titania Fan Club. Ended up locked in a cupboard with Jellal.

Rest of the day: A blur.

How I ended up in such a state eluded me.

This day was as ordinary as it possibly could be. Nothing out of place, nothing different.

I woke up to the sound of Short Stack's song 'Counting the Stars' playing from my iPod along with the intense beeping of my alarm clock.

"This is the part at the end of act one, where I turn to you and I say number one: We're just getting started, we're just warming up. So I'll kiss you again and again and again..."

This was not the sort of song I needed to hear first thing in the morning. A song about two people in a relationship. A forbidden relationship. It was just too heavy a reminder of the situation that had occurred Saturday morning. But I wasn't going to think about that now.

"Ugh..." I mumbled to myself, pushing red hair from my eyes before twisting around to slam my hand down over the snooze button of the insistent beeping device.

I dragged myself away from the comforting warmth of my bed and made my way over to the bathroom, picking up my outfit for today as I went along.

I showered and dressed in a white pleated skirt with a navy blue singlet and matching stockings that glimmered in the light, along with a light-weight black cardigan over the top.

I was feeling particularly girly today as I dried and brushed my hair into silky straight waves of scarlet. I applied a touch of foundation and mascara before heading into the kitchen to grab a small tub of strawberry flavoured yogurt.

I seated myself on the soft chocolate coloured couch next to Lucy, wondering why exactly she was up so early.

"Morning Erza." The blonde smiled warmly at me, holding up a tub of yogurt identical to mine.

"Good morning Lucy," I returned the smile, "Why are you up so early in the morning?"

"Not quite sure really. I suppose I couldn't sleep." She paused for a moment and for a split second I thought I saw pain in her eyes, but it was gone in an instant and I was left wondering if it was even there in the first place, "It's strange isn't it? I'm usually the last one awake but today Levy's still asleep and Juvia still hasn't come home."

I paused half way through feeding myself a spoonful of pink tinged yogurt, "Wait what?!" I almost shrieked, causing Lucy to wince, "Juvia hasn't come home yet? What if something's happened to her?!"

I was on the verge of a panic attack when Lucy put her hands up and spoke, "No, no! It's not like that. Juvia text me last night saying she'd be home late or that she might not even be home at all. See!" The blonde held up her phone in front of my face, showing me the text that was indeed sent from Juvia.

"Oh...Well...What a relief!" I exhaled loudly, my earlier panic and worry leaving me almost instantly.

Lucy giggled a little at my overreaction before leaning back into the comfortable softness of our couch.

We finished off our breakfast before relaxing back into the couch. It felt like we had forever to get ready for today's classes. It was nice to just sit there without talking, just simply relaxing.

But of course, in my life, every peaceful moment should be savoured considering it was at this moment that a pounding started up against our door.

The voice of Lisanna Strauss could be heard clearly as she yelled to us, "Erza! Lucy! Juvia! Levy!" she shouted, "Open up! It's something really important!"

Reluctantly I picked myself up from the couch and with a heavy sigh, made my way over to the front entrance to open the door for an extremely excited girl.

I was actually surprised to see her here at this hour of the morning, jumping up and down with a massive grin on her face. It was quite out of character for her to be this hyper.

And before I knew what was happening, the white haired girl had leapt towards me, enveloping me in a tight hug for some unknown reason.

"L-Lisanna..." I struggled to even say her name, that's how tightly she was holding me.

"Erza! The most wonderful thing has happened to me! You won't believe it!" Her blue orbs lit up with over-excitement.

"I'm sure it can't be that hard to believe." Lucy spoke up as she made her way over to where we were standing.

Lisanna pouted slightly before breaking into a massive grin, "It was amazing! Oh so romantic! His eyes were full of passion and love as he looked up at me from the ground below. Even though it was so early in the morning, finding him staring up at me from below my window was wonderful. I saw his pink hair and recognised him immediately. Then he asked me –"

I turned to Lucy, uncaring that the white haired girl was still rambling on, "What exactly is she talking about?"

I was generally confused. Lisanna had just started talking about god-know-what without giving us a proper explanation. I was lost.

The blonde tapped a finger against her lips, thinking before she answer, "Well it sounds like sometime early in the morning, a person came to her window.

Apparently his eyes were very passionate and loving when he performed some kind of romantic act. Said guy also has pink hair..." she trailed off and suddenly the pieces snapped into place.

Lucy and I turned to the overjoyed girl before us, our eyes sparkling with realisation.

In sync, we shouted, "NATSU ASKED YOU OUT!"

Taken aback by our sudden outburst, the white haired girl blinked a couple times before grinning like a mad woman, "YES! HE DID!"

Lucy grabbed Lisanna by the hands and together they jumped up and down, squealing like little school girls whilst I stood back chuckled at their crazy display.

Judging by Lucy's excitement for her friend, I doubt she actually likes Natsu, thank god.

Hmm...But why was it that she perked up so much when Levy mentioned hanging out with our friends.

"Hey, so if you guys aren't busy today, I was thinking we could catch up with Natsu, Lisanna, Loke and all that..."

Levy's words echoed throughout my mind and once again, everything fell into place.

I pointed a finger at the blonde girl who had just begun to calm down, "YOU LIKE LOKE!" I shouted, a knowing grin spreading across my features.

Said girl blushed furiously whilst Lisanna looked shocked yet extremely happy.

"Is that true Lucy? You like Loke? OH WOW! This is awesome! There'll be Natsu and I, You and Loke. I'm pretty sure Levy's into Gajeel and we all know how much Juvia adores Gray. Now we just need to find someone for Erza..." A mischievous glint appeared in the white haired girl's eyes. When she smiled in that way she reminded me of Mirajane.

"Wait, how did this turn around to focus on me? I'm not looking for a relationship right now..." I blushed furiously as thoughts of our bluenette teacher invaded my mind.

I shook my head, trying to clear way the thoughts of Saturday morning.

Falling backwards, Jellal saving me, falling chest-first onto Jellal's face, being discovered by Ultear and Meredy.

I had thought that Ultear was Jellal's wife and Meredy was his child when they walked in but Ultear's actions towards the two of us were definitely not those of a wife.

Is it strange that I was a little relieved?

"Juvia!" Lucy shouted, interrupting my train of thought.

The bluenette woman stumbled through the doorway of our apartment, looking like she'd had an...interesting...night.

Her usually perfect blue waves were tangled and severely messed up. Her clothes looked crumpled, as if they'd been put on in a hurry. She just generally looked dishevelled.

"Juvia, where have you been?" I asked, slightly concerned.

Lisanna watched, trying to piece together bits of information she didn't have. Her trouble was short lived as Lucy whispered something into her ear and a look of understanding dawned over her features.

"I-It's a secret." She stuttered, avoiding my eyes.

I smirked, "Oh I see. Would I be wrong if I said you spent the night with your lovely Gray-sama?"

The blue haired woman desperately tried to keep her face devoid of emotion, but a blush was slowly creeping across her cheeks and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

She swallowed loudly, no doubt wanting to run back into the arms of her lover.

"W-Well so what if I was!" She attempted to act in a defiant manner but it didn't exactly work.

The three of us laughed at how easily she embarrassed she got whilst Juvia blushed even harder.

It was at this time that a very tired looking Levy fumbled her way down the hall, through the longue and into the front entrance where we had all gathered.

She rubbed her eyes sleepily, "You guys are making so much noise. It's still the weekend, why are you all up?"

We all exchanged glances, feeling kinda of sorry for the bluenette.

"Levy-chan..." Lucy smiled gently, "It's 7AM on a Monday morning. You have to get ready for school today."

Suddenly the short girls eyes popped wide open, "Wait, WHAT?!" she shouted as she began to panic, "It's Monday? I thought it was Sunday! Oh god, oh god, oh god. What am I going to do? I'm going to be late!"

The poor girl was looking around frantically, unsure of what exactly she should do.

I quickly took control of the situation, dashing off to her room, picking out a cute pink dress and handing it to her before Lucy and I ushered her into the bathroom to take a shower.

Juvia herself ran off towards the second bathroom with a pair of black jeans and a pale blue tank top flying out behind her.

Lisanna had taken over our kitchen and begun to make breakfast for the two bluenette's despite the fact that she didn't even live here.

Meanwhile Lucy and I gathered their books, laptops and various other school supplies and shoved them into their bags.

We dried their hair for them as they ate Lisanna's specially prepared French Toast as said girl dashed over to her apartment (which just so happened to be directly adjacent to ours) and gathered everything she needed for that day before returning to our place to wait patiently for the four of us to get ready.

We had gotten ready and left in record time, arriving at the university with 10 minutes to spare.

My classes seemed to fly by.

I finished all my work in Math so I spent the remainder of my time texting Lucy about her secret crush on the playboy Loke.

I was quite concerned about this since Loke's reputation wasn't too good when it came to girls. I didn't want him to hurt Lucy.

To be honest, that's about as much of the day as I remember. The rest of it was a blur apart from lunch.

That particular lunch time, like my first 30 minutes of my morning, had started out in an extremely ordinary way.

I had made my way to the place Lucy and the rest of our friends liked to meet at. I was the first to arrive since I'd gotten out of Design earlier than normal.

Leaning against a brick wall, relaxing in the quiet air of the quad, I didn't expect a large group of boys to run at my screaming and proclaiming their love for me.

It was just unthinkable.

But that's exactly what happened.

A group of roughly 20 or so boys was running towards me, shouting inaudible things as they did so. For a second I thought it was the track team running laps around the school grounds but then I noticed the banners and the t-shirts.

'Titania Erza Forever!'

'Marry me Erza!'

'I love you Erza Scarlet!'

These were just some of the ridiculous things written across their oversized banners and t-shirts.

I could feel my eye twitching as they hurdled towards me shouting confession of love and proclamations to stay by my side forever.

It was unsettling.

Before I knew what was happening, they were swarming me, trying to get close to me and touch me.

I sprinted off without any concern for where I was going or what my friends would think if I didn't show up to lunch today. I had to get away from these freaks.

"We are the Titania Fan Club, the servants of Miss Erza Scarlet, Queen of the Fairies!" They shouted, "And we will love, serve and be by your side forever!"

I wanted to puke, this was just going way over board.

I dashed inside the English building, hoping to lose them once I entered the complex halls but alas, it did nothing to keep the army of psycho's down.

I ran down the corridor as fast I could and then faster, almost smashing into a wall in the process.

I didn't care that people in the halls were giving me funny looks, I just had to get away from these strange people.

Speeding along, I realised they weren't exactly behind me but I could still hear their shouts from around the corner. If I could just find a place to hide...

Yes!

There was a small storage cupboard built into the wall on the left.

Without thinking I sprinted towards it, hurled the door open and threw myself inside, effectively slamming the door behind me.

It didn't occur to me that there might be someone else in here with me. It never crossed my mind that the wall I was pressing my hands against was actually the chest of a certain blue haired teacher. And I didn't even think that the storage cupboard was so small that even if I tried to move, that only pressed our bodies more firmly against each other.

So when a familiar voice spoke suddenly in my ear... I panicked.

"Erza..." He spoke softly in my ear, his hot breath sending shivers down my spine.

I squealed girlishly and jumped in surprise. Well... I attempted to jump at least. By jumping, what really happened was I moved slightly upwards, which effectively pushed my chest against his.

Dammit! Why did I have to keep getting myself into these sort of situations with Jellal? He's my teacher for fuck's sake!

"What are you doing in here?" The bluenette asked, trying to force his body away from mine. Needless to say it was a futile attempt.

"Believe it or not I got chased by a group of people calling themselves the 'Titania Fan Club'. They're saying that they're in love with and they want to serve me or something. It was terrifying." I sighed dramatically, tucking a few stray locks of scarlet hair behind my ear before continuing, "So I ended up sprinting into this building but they chased after me and I decided to hide in this cupboard. I didn't expect to have company. How about you?"

He looked slightly concerned for a moment but answered anyway, "I was trying to find some materials for my next class." He said simply.

"Oh." Was all I could think to say.

This made things a bit awkward. But after a few moments he spoke up again.

"A Fan Club huh? Haha, of course someone like you would have a fan club."

My cheeks tainted red at this comment. What was he trying to say? I was praying that he couldn't see how terribly embarrassed this had made me.

"Yeah..." I seemed to be keeping my answers limited to one word only which only made this situation more awkward.

"So, uh, are you going to let me out?" He asked, trying to squirm away once again.

"What? NO! They could still be out there!" I practically shouted.

"What do you mean 'no'? I have to prepare for my next class and so do you! And may I remind you your next class is with me and I won't tolerate lateness." He said sternly.

My mood quickly turned sour as I replied snappily, "I don't give a shit about being late when I'm being chased by a bunch of psycho, love-struck boys. You must have had a similar experience in uni, being followed around by a truck-load of girls declaring their love for you."

"What?" He asked, generally confused.

By this time our faces where only centimetres away from each other. I hadn't even realised that in the heat of the moment we had been inching closer and closer towards each other till our bodies were practically melted together and his lips were within kissing distance.

I held my gaze, despite my furious blushing I didn't want to look like a complete idiot by looking away.

We stared into each other eyes, neither of us having the courage to look away, both his and my cheeks stained red.

Before I even knew what was happening our lips were crashing against each others in the midst of a panic induced passion.

I wound my hands into his hair hungrily, pressing my body against his whilst he ravaged my mouth.

My waist was gripped firmly by his large hands, pulling me even closer.

Suddenly I was being pressed against the wall, my legs wrapped around his waist as he held me in place roughly.

He was kissing all over my neck and I was panting from excitement.

"Jellal..." I whispered his name hotly in his ear as his lips trailed their way back up towards my mouth.

"Erza..." He whispered back before capturing my lips in another heated kiss.

I couldn't believe this was happening.

What was I doing?!

Jellal's POV

Holy fucking shit. What have I done?!

Special mention to Thunderfall for your continued support. Seriously, you pushed me out of my writers block and made me actually want to finish this chapter :)
Oh! Question... Don't you think a sleepy Levy would just be sooooo cute?!
By the way, the song 'Counting the Stars' by Short Stack most definitely does not belong to me but it will probably be a reoccurring thing with this fanfic. That and the song 'Let her go' by Passenger.
Don't forget to read and review my lovelies! You're what helps me to continue my stories even when I feel like it's impossible.
