"Seriously Erza! It wasn't me!" Natsu cried out as he dodged everything Erza threw against him.
Books, shoes, scissors… You name it, and Erza has probably thrown it towards the pinkette.
If it was any other day, Lucy would've rolled her eyes and proceeded to launch herself to her usual seat every day, the one beside the window.
But nooooo, someone had to think that it's very cool (get it, cool? No? okay) to play prank with a water-filled balloon.
"Lucy, are you cold?" Juvia knelt down and asked the blonde who was shivering and dripping wet.
"A-a little" Lucy replied covering her front by crisscrossing her hands and grasping her shoulders, then attempted to apply friction.
"Then, in that case, I shall –"
"I'm gonna heat you up, Luce!" Natsu rushed towards her and Lucy panicked, immediately getting what Natsu was about to do.
"N-No! Natsu stand back you little –"
"Fire Dragon's Ro–!"
"What the fuck is going on?" At the chaos, everybody failed to notice the arrival of Lyon Vastia, Guardian of Meredy Milkovich of the Milkovich Bloodline.
"My apologies, sir, but –"
"Idiot! You could've had hurt Juvia!" At this, Lyon snapped his head to see Gray and Natsu fighting.
Erza could feel her temper growing thin.
"Oh yeah, Ice Princess? Wanna pick a fight?"
"Shut up, you moron! Lucy and Juvia are both the only alive heirs of their respective Bloodlines –"
"'Course I know, Ice Popsicle! I'm not dum–"
"You are, stupid! If only I am not your Guardian and Juvia's instead –" Juvia could feel heat creeping up her skin "– I would've strangled you right now!"
"Uh, yeah, sorry, Snow Cone, but Juvia's Guardian is Iron-wit –"
"Did you just call me Iron-wit, Ash-brain?"
"Uh, duh. Wax out your ears, all right?"
"Wanna pick a fight, dumbass?!"
"Bring it, Rust Man!"
"WILL YOU QUIT IT?! THERE'S ALREADY A MENTOR HERE AND YOU'RE ALL ACTING LIKE BABIES –"
"YOU'RE THE BABY ONE, PERSON-WHO-INSERTS-HIMSELF!" Silence.
"Wait, uh, who was that person?" Natsu nervously laughed. Damn, if it was Erza, he's dead meat. Ooooh maybe there'll be blood –
"Natsu…" Okay. So the blood would be his blood.
Natsu started to run like hell.
"There! Your clothes are good as new" Juvia clapped as she finished taking out all of the water that Lucy's uniform absorbed. They were in their Royal and Guardian Protection class and apparently, Guardian training was the schedule today so Royals were only watching in the field as their Guardians spar with each other.
"Thank you, Juvia" Lucy sat on one of the benches and patted the side next to her. Implying that she wanted Juvia to sit.
"So," she started, "Gray as your guardian, huh?" she grinned as the bluenette's face redden.
"N-No! Gajeel would always be Juvia's Guardian. Lucy knows about the blood contract, right?" Juvia stammered, unconciously slipping into her third person speech.
"Ah. Right. The blood contract. Damn, I forgot about that." Lucy cursed.
The Pangako, or commonly known as 'Blood Contract', is the agreement of one Royal and one Mid-class Vampire wherein the Mid-class, or the Noble, Vampire swears to protect the Royal with all of his life. The contract includes a ritual similar to the way of Vampire Marriage. The royal shall give few drops of his blood to the Noble and the contract is finalized.
The contract would only diminish if one of the two Vampires die or turn into an Unwanted.
An Unwanted is someone who kills his human victims by draining their blood. They are the real threat to Human and Vampire society. Once you've become, you'll lose all sense of control and be a mindless killing machine, unable to walk in the sun's light like normal vampires and hardened skin that can only be pierced through silver.
No known vampire was able to change back once they've become one.
"But, as I recall, relationships between Royals and Guardians are allowed, right? I mean, look at Jellal and Erza!" Lucy tried again.
"L-Lucy!" Juvia blushed "Gray does not think of me like that! A-And I don't, too!"
Lucy let out a pssh sound, "Yeah, right. As if I didn't find any chibi-Gray doll on your bag."
Juvia, if it were possible, blushed ten times more than her current color "You saw that?! J-Juvia was sure that... the doll... was on... the... deepest part..." She mumbled the last part but Lucy heard it.
"Well, dear Juvia, you probably should make a more little version so your bag wouldn't look like it had 50 books in there" Lucy grinned.
Apparently I have started this one a year ago and I completely forgot about it until now so, here you go! Again, sorry for typos or grammatical errors because English isn't my first language and this is not beta-ed so, yeah.
Reviews are really appreciated! :)
