Ain't Got Time For Nothing
Jellal made a small noise at the back of his throat as he stared at the 485 unread messages in his Skype group chat. It seemed like his friends had been having a lot of fun while he had been taking his nap.
He scrolled down the screen, eyes scanning quickly. He caught a glimpse of Gajeel arguing with Levy about her new fanfiction.
Levy: They're canon!
Gajeel: Like I said, whatever floats your boat.
Levy: You'd rather sink my ship!
Gajeel: What?!
A low chuckle rumbled in his throat and he shook his head in amusement.
Laxus: Hey man, sup?
Mystogan: You know, just surfing the net.
Jellal leaned back in his seat before tilting his chair back and slamming both legs onto the table, hands interlaced behind his head.
Laxus: Dude, you should take the time to go out and enjoy the sunset, to do nothing. To just sit in the grass and think "ah, I'm free".
He rolled his eyes and gestured at the window absently, mindful of the concrete jungle surrounding him.
Mystogan: What sunset? What grass?
Laxus: It was metaphorical. Don't leave your room. Are you crazy? Find a youtube video of a sunset, geez.
He could almost hear the laughter in his friend's voice as he read Laxus' reply.
Mystogan: Words of wisdom.
Laxus: So, you asked yet?
Knightwalker: Asked what yet?
Someone hammered on his door. "Come in!"
Laxus entered his room, slamming the door behind him before plopping down onto Jellal's bed, phone at the ready.
"Knightwalker's at school, so she doesn't know we're both here," Laxus said.
Jellal gave him a thumbs up. "Alright, here we go."
Mystogan: Well, if I wrote you a symphony, just to say how much you mean to me, what would you do?
Knightwalker: Probably be a little weirded out.
"Oh, she's taking this well," Laxus chuckled.
Jellal swiveled around in his chair and waggled his eyebrows. "Let me work my magic, my dearest wingman."
Mystogan: If I wrote you a love note and made you smile at every word I wrote, what would you do?
Knightwalker: Not better.
"She's so done with your shit, ahaha."
A mock expression of hurt crossed the man's face and Jellal pulled off his headphones with a pout. "No, stop laughing at my pain."
Laxus shrugged nonchalantly and rolled his eyes. "Oh Jellal, if only there was someone out there who loved you." Then he started typing frantically on his phone.
Laxus: Well Jellal, what would you do if Erza did that?"
Knightwalker: Like I would ever do that.
The blond spread his arms wide open. "Show me your infamous charm, oh Jellal."
"Don't underestimate me."
Mystogan: Well Erza…
Mystogan: I'd probably marvel how much you love me, regardless of what's inside it, then I'd write you a little something myself. I'd probably borrow one of the tracks my friend wrote and just sing over them with a mix of songs as loud as I can, at that precise moment, the basket of roses and the box of chocolates I sent will arrive, just as you see a chef standing outside your window, cooking you ribs and a thousand roses will descend from the sky drawing out a massive heart with the Edolas mark inside, with Erza Knightwalker written under it.
Knightwalker: I don't love you! For fuck's sake!
Laxus threw back his head and roared with laughter. "You bastard."
Jellal grinned even more broadly as Laxus intervened once more.
Laxus: And the second one?
Knightwalker: Damn it Laxus, stop encouraging the idiot!
Jellal: Well, I'd gasp, gape and giggle at the great gesture of gilded expression of affection while the gale of the gust of love swoops by and elevates me to a higher plane. I'd saunter, sing and swoop by my fellow students who have never known the sensation of true sentiment towards them and scoff and scorn their sorry souls. I'd gallop outside the front gates and heed no man, woman or child threatening suspension or detention for I am a reborn man. I'd hike my way home, haughty and high on the hankering for hefty hit of delight I had received from her.
Laxus threw back his head and laughed and Jellal joined in soon.
Lily: Ok guys, our presentation is coming up next and I'd rather my partner didn't walk up to the front of the class with her face looking like a tomato.
Knightwalker: Lily! My face is not red!
Lily: -sigh-
Mystogan: So Erza, one last question. Will you go out with me?
Knightwalker: I will KILL you when I get home from school, you hear me?
Laxus: Can't wait!
Jellal looked up at his friend. "What is this…betrayal?"
"Dude, you know I have no allegiances. I take and switch sides whenever it suits me."
"You're terrible."
"That I am."
"Oh go look at your damn sunset."
A/N: Most of these conversations are actually real ones. I just took them from my group chat ahahaha. The Gajevy one, sunset one and the symphony/love note ones are real. My friend wrote the 2 replies to the 2 questions, he's a hilarious dude.
