A/N: So, sorry I havent updated for awhile, I suck with commitment. But here is the chapter about Hanako's first job! Don't forget that criticism is always welcome! Yes I know this is basically the first minor arc of Fairy Tail, but I figured the scenario would be funnier with Erza instead of Lucy with the Vulcan . Also, I'm putting this up to T because I don't know if this still can go under K. Thanks for reading! (Apologies for OOC-ness and spelling errors)
Let's go:
We left the guild after alerting Mira of our job selection and headed for Fairy Hills.
"So, Hanako, what are your thoughts of the guild?" Erza question. I then responded "Well, they all seem very rowdy, but I'm sure I'll get used to it after awhile." A nod from my partner had confirmed my suspicions that it is always very loud.
We reached Fairy Hills and we went to Erza's room(s).
"Wait, I don't have any spare cloths!" "Oh, don't worry about that Hanako, I have spare cloths. Luckily it looks like we are about the same size" Erza stated, putting down any of my fears of wearing the same cloths for a week. "We can buy you more in town tomorrow, but what I have here should be good for tonight" She then proceeded to go into another room and emerge with a folded pile of black fabric I assumed to be for me. "Here, you can get changed in the bathroom. Also, since I don't have a spare room, I figured you can sleep with me instead of on the floor or in a chair" The woman stated. "Okay" I responded simply.
I changed into the cloths I was given which included a black v-neck t-shirt and a pair of black sweat pants with a white Fairy Tail guild mark on it. After a moment, I realized the cloths fit me too good. It was to the point it almost seemed like she had gotten them knowing my sizes. I brushed off the feeling and went to Erza's room.
"Oh" Erza sounded surprised. "What?" "It's nothing, I'm just glad the cloths fit you well." She then continued with "well, we should probably go to sleep now so we can get up early tomorrow" I agreed and joined her in her bed.
I soon learned sleep would not come easily that night.
There were two reasons. The main reason for my inability to sleep was because I was excited for the job the next day and I was still slightly scared. The second wasn't even a problem until about 20 minutes after Erza fell asleep. I soon learned Erza grabs onto things in her sleep, specifically me at that time.
Erza, I soon learned, cuddles with any human within a 2 foot radius of herself while sleeping. She rolled over behind me and pulled me close to her, her front pressed against my back. I attempted to get out from under her arm, but in the end she just pulled me tighter. I didn't know what to do. She hadn't done anything bad to me so far, therefore I figured I'd be okay for the night but it was still uncomfortable. Luckily I fell asleep eventually.
I woke up the next morning facing Erza, startlingly close to her face. I realized what position our bodies were in and immediately moved away, almost instantly missing her warmth for some reason. "Hey, Erza" I poked her cheek after a moment. "Erza" and poked her again. "Hm? Oh, Hanako, good morning" She said, her voice still sleepy. "So" I started, "when were we planning on leaving?" "Well, I was thinking about 8:30 or so. Its 7 right now, so we should have time for breakfast and a shower before we head to town for your cloths." She stood up, stretched, and walked toward the door. I then also got up and followed her to the kitchen.
"Hanako, if you want you can take a shower while I cook breakfast" "Really? Are you sure you don't need any help with anything?" I asked. "Yes, you take a shower, help yourself to anything you find in there." She told me.
After I got out of the shower and got my regular cloths back on, I walked into the main living area and saw Erza finishing setting a table in a dining room like setup close to the kitchen. "Oh, Hanako, you are right on time, I just finished making breakfast"
As I ate the breakfast Erza made me, she took a shower and by the time she was done I was sitting on a chair in her living room sipping tea. "Okay, Hanako, you ready to go get cloths?" The red hed asked. "Yeah, lets go"
In town we bought enough cloths for a week or so and went back to Fairy Hills to pack. In her main apartment, Erza gave me a sizeable backpack and I packed my stuff in the living room. Before I finished, Erza said she would be waiting outside and to come when I was done packing.
Outside I saw Erza, but I also noticed something very... strange. Erza had a giant wagon full of suitcases and costumes, I also think I saw a fish attached to the side, but I was scared to ask.
"Okay, so, when does the train leave?" I asked, hoping to avoid the subject of her over packing. "In about half an hour, so if we get going now we will make it" "Okay, then let's get going"
On the train:
"So, Hanako, how did you sleep last night?" Erza, asked, sitting across from me. "Great! Thanks for letting me sleep in your bed." I decided not to bring up the one sided cuddle session we had because I did not want to embarrass Erza if she didn't know she does it. The scarlet mage then said "I'm glad. Hargeon really isnt far away so we should be there before 10 since its already 9:15." "Okay, I'm so excited!" I responded, eager for my first job.
At Hargeon:
We arrived at Hargeon and we immediately went to an inn to put away our stuff. Erza claimed it should only be a one or two day job but I wasn't convinced, after all, I would probably slow her down a lot.
We ended up getting a one bed room and I was half scared I was going to discover a second habit of sleeping Erza. I prayed that I would not have to suffer a night of someone holding me against my will AND any other thing that may come up.
Once we got settled into our room, we immediately went to go meet the person who put up the request.
We met the client, his name was something with an H, I couldn't hear him too well. But what I did learn was that many people from the town that go into the woods like hikers or hunters, rarely came back after going into the forest. The town immediately blamed monsters and that was why we were there. They wanted us to drive the monsters out and see if we could find any of the missing people. Seemed easy at the time, and it was, but I never viewed monkeys the same.
After Erza and I got ready, we set out into the forest hoping to catch the monsters. "Okay, well, based on the description given by that man, I think we are dealing with forest Vulcans." "Wait, Erza, what are Vulcans?" I asked. "Vulcans are creatures that use humans as hosts and use their bodies to survive, almost like a parasite. If they are male they are also extremely perverted." Erza explained.
A second or two later, massive green monkey like thing jumped out of the bushes and yelled something about women and lunged at us.
A/N: Okay, I'm gonna leave it there. Sorry. I should have something up next week whether it be this or something else. Anyway, sorry for not filling my promise of the job in this chapter, but I want something out before midnight so I can keep my promise of every other week. Once again, thanks for reading.
See ya next time!
