Chapter 28:

Sting folded his arms, furrowing an eyebrow as he gazed over to the petrified expression Erza had on, "I don't see why you're so nervous about this anyways? When I showed you the note you looked like you didn't care much that Jellal will be attending today but now you're a completely different person once you've realized."

Erza shifted uncomfortably into her desk, staring at the clock with eyes full of nervousness. She was completely out of it this time. She had no idea on why she was behaving the way she was right now, as if she was some fan-crazed fan girl waiting to meet her idol. I mean yes, most of the time when she came face to face with Jellal, her heart soared rapidly when making eye contact with the blue-haired man. But this time it was as if all the weight of her love for him was dragging her down to the point of exaggeration.

"She's in one of her fantasies again it seems" Mirajane said chuckling as she watched Erza grip the seat tightly as if she was going to break it in half, "You'd be nervous too, if you got another chance to see your childhood friend who is also the love of your-"

"Mira, can we not right now!" Erza said covering her flushed face with her fingers leaving one a little gap for her to see through, "I must stay completely calm, and focused as I don't want to make my welcoming to him such an awful one. No longer shall I stay obsessed with the fact he's coming! I shall act like I don't care at-"

Sting snorted at Erza's statement as he rolled his eyes snickering, "Tch yeah right, we all know you're a little fan girl of Jellal. He's not even in here yet, and I can already tell how this is all going to work out. The moment he walks in, you're going to get back to your nervous state, have a panic attack, dismiss yourself from class, go into the bathroom, and then you'll come out ready to tear me to pieces since I've predicted this"

Mirajane cuffed her hand over her mouth as she made a small "Eeep" sound at the intense aura Erza had now created. Of course, Mirajane knew on how Erza would act if she was being looked down on, especially when someone would disrespect her. But right now, she knew that she wouldn't do a thing since the other day Erza had scolded both Gray and Natsu for nearly blowing up a classroom.

Erza let out a deep breath before her mouth became completely dried at the sound of the classroom door opening in a somewhat creek manner. She slowly, spun her head around to see the figure that was now standing at the door and it was the person she was expecting the whole entire day.

"Jellal" Erza said literally mouthing the words out of her mouth at the sight of her childhood friend. She then looked over to Sting who had his hands stuffed into his front pockets making his way towards Jellal. Before she could even stop the White Dragon Slayer, he had already opened his mouth, and what he had said left the re-quip mage completely speechless.

"Erza's been talking about you the whole entire day. Something about you guys chilling in bed together?-or something like that, that includes a bed?"

Jellal raised an eyebrow chuckling, "If I recall, I've never heard Erza speak that way before to anyone. It seems you've changed a little from the last time we've met Erza." He then looked over Sting to the scarlet-haired mage whos mouth was gaped completely opened from the shock she had just endured from both seeing Jellal, and to what Sting had announced.

Erza curled up a wide fake-smile trying to restrain herself from strangling Sting from what he had just said that was untrue, but she had to stay in complete control as she didn't want Jellal to see, and she also as well didn't want to dirty the name of Fairy Tail on being a guild whos members would receive punishment for their behaviors from the Titania.

"ERZA"

Natsu then came running through the door at full speed as he soon came to a sudden halt, due to seeing Jellal standing right in front of him. His eye twitched at the scene as he turned his head towards Laxus who was leaning against the rim of the door, Lucy and Levy were chuckling at the sight of Erza's scarlet red face, Gray was complaining at Lyon who had begun walking in, and Freed was pinching the bridge of his nose at Natsu's reaction.

"Oh, it seems Jellal is back. I would've thought that the non-magic people would start calling the Magic Council, and freaking out to see that you've arrived here. Why is it that you're now able to walk freely around without being disguised?"

"Meredy and Ultear had decided to spend some time together which I decided I shouldn't interfere in. The thing is those two think I'm off somewhere in Magnolia, when in reality I'm here in Fiore High posing as just another regular student. Let's just say I used a little magic to make sure these non-magic don't recognize me except all of us. Basically, I'm free here unless one of the mages decides to call the Magic Council. Then I'd be in a big problem with both Ultear and Meredy."

Laxus mouthed the word "Oh" before nodding his head in response as well. He then looked over at Natsu who had a nonchalant expression until Jellal had faced his way with an eyebrow raised at the pink-haired mage's sudden seriousness.

Then, the straight line that was pasted onto Natsu's lips soon turned into a toothy grin as he clutched a fist in front of his own face, "I knew you'd come back! You came back for Erza's sake didn't you! Now Erza is finally going to be completely happy with her childhood lover-"

Suddenly, Natsu was soon punched straight in the face by the scarlet-haired mage as he was now sailing across the room. He let out an irritated groan due to the massive impact he had just received, and he knew that he'd had to start watching what he says about Jellal and Erza around the scarlet terror.

"I don't think you had to whip him that hard across the room" Gray said clutching the collar of Lyon's shirt, sweat dropping at the scene of Erza who was surrounded by a deep scarlet aura that matched the exact scarlet of her hair. He knew that once she had punched the Fire Dragon Slayer, she highly regretted it since she looked at Jellal who was rubbing the back of his head with his eye twitching at her strength even though he knew how tough Titania was.

Erza let out a deep breath before facing Jellal once again, "I think we've got some catching up to do since it's been quite a while."

Before Jellal could even respond to her statement, Erza had already tugged at his hand dragging him out of the room and out the door. She couldn't be more happier than leave the hot air inside that room that she was beginning to feel, unless it was because her affections for Jellal was overwhelming her own temperature.

"They're obviously going to commit to a relationship soon" Mirajane said with a bright smile as her cerulean blue eyes glimmered from the sun's rays that were pouring through the window and into the light of the room, "It's only a matter of time, before I use my matchmaking skills. And let's just say that I've heard stories from Erza about their childhood together, and it'd mix perfectly together into a perfect relationship!"

Lucy sweat-dropped at Mirajane who was twirling around with her arms spread out, and tiny pink hearts surrounding her aura. Sometimes she wondered how come Mirajane wasn't like Sherry who wouldn't stop talking about love and everything that had to do with it. It seemed clear to the celestial mage, that Mirajane herself had quite a lot of love.

"Damn, I don't see why you're getting so worked up about this Mira"

Lucy's head then spun over to the source of the sudden voice, which turned out to be non-other than Sting who was seating himself onto one of the desk tops. She couldn't help but let out a gleam of happiness at the White Dragon Slayer which caused him to furrow an eyebrow upward in confusion since.

Sting smirked back in response shoving his hands into his front pockets, "Eh? It's been a while since I've last seen you smile like that blondie. I would've thought that you'd want to keep your distance away from me ever since that day-"

Lucy then cut off Sting's sentence as she grasped her hand around his wrist. Her cheeks were burning up with a bright pink color making her lips curl into a smile, "Save it Sting, I want to talk to you in private. I want to discuss some things with you that we should've talked over on that day."

Sting could feel a jolt of reassurance rush through his veins. That obviously could only mean one thing if she wanted to actually discuss the events of that day with Yukino, and he wasn't going to turn that offer down in a million years. If this was a chance for him to tell her everything from his side, Sting hoped that she'd definitely reconsider a relationship with him again.

Lucy led Sting out of the chattering classroom, and into the solitude hall that was completely quiet due to this period being a free one. She felt like these matters to discuss with Sting were far more important right now then chatting away with her friends about upcoming events that were going to take place. She then came to a quick stop, as she completely turned herself around to face Sting making direct eye contact.

"Whatever happened that day-"

Lucy then placed a finger on Sting's lips quieting him with a smile still plastered onto her lips, "Sting I already found out the whole truth about that day between you and Yukino. She had stopped by earlier to explain that to me. And I feel completely terrible on not trusting my own boyfriend… I should've stayed and listened to your side of the story before making my own assumptions. Relationships are about trust, and if I want this to work I need to start putting my trust in you."

Sting blinked a couple of times noticing the celestial mage biting her bottom lip which was trembling slowly as if she was about to burst out crying. Her chocolate orbs than landed down towards her shoes as a taint of blush began spraying onto her cheeks.

"And I wanted to know that if you'd reconsider taking me back as you girlfriend" Lucy murmured silently with her hands clasped behind her back, "I mean I know if you don't want to, considering I didn't put my faith in you, and that I was-"

In a blink of an eye, Lucy found herself against Sting's chest with his muscular arms wrapped around her tightly. He placed his head onto her shoulder feeling his warm, breath trickling down her neck. She felt completely secure like she used to feel whenever he'd do that, and right now she felt much better than usual.

Sting then removed his head from his shoulder looking her into her eyes with a huge grin pasted onto his lips, "Blondie, of course I'd take you back. I knew you couldn't stay away from the Great Sting from too long, and it'll be a spectacular rumor to be made of that we've finally came back together." He then swooshed down placing a peck onto her lips causing her face to flush up brightly red, one that would match Erza's hair even.

"You know, I think that's an awesome idea" Lucy chuckled as she clasped her hand into Sting's, "I need to make sure all these girls get the message that the Great Sting is already taken again and that they should try with someone else."

"Heh you've got that right blondie, it'll be the best rumor yet-"

"Sting, Lucy! We need to start heading out this instant" Natsu and Gray said in unison without even sending a glare back each other for mimicking the same exact words. From the look on both of their faces, Lucy could tell that whatever they were going to say was going to be big.

"What's going on?" Sting asked raising an eyebrow ignoring the toothy grin Natsu had on his face at the sight of them holding hands. Gray then smacked the Fire Dragon Slayer in the back of the head to snap him out of his daydreaming and back to reality."

"Apparently, Orga was spreading some shit about Mirajane that was completely untrue. Calling her all of these filthy names, and saying the most horrific lies ever" Gray said clutching his fists since Orga had no right to be disrespecting his friends like that.

"And let's just say that Laxus heard about it, and he's on his way right now to settle things with Orga once and for all." Natsu said with a fist in the air and a smirk since he couldn't wait to see the S-Class mage go against Orga.

Sting's eyes widened as a smirk curled onto his lips, "Well, I guess we have to go and see this since this is going to be a kick ass fight if Laxus is going to be in it. Literally, I hope Orga knows what he's going up against since we're talking about an S-Class mage here."

"Ghehe" Gajeel suddenly said as he emerged from the classroom door along with Levy and Rogue behind him, "And it's one battle that neither of us should miss. I'm ready to see another Sabertooth bastard go down."
