Excuses

Lucy hid under her blanket as she watched the people in the movie get attacked by a monster. She had decided that she would watch a scary movie by herself at night. It was a full moon and she was watching a movie with a werewolf. Worst mistake ever.

"Ahhhhh!" She screamed as the wolf killed another person. "Why did I do this?" She asked to herself.

"Lucy?"

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Lucy screamed as Erza placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You okay?"

"I...I'm..fine.."

"Really? What are you watching?"

"Nothing!" Lucy said as she turned the TV off. Erza just shrugged it off.

"Well...want to go on a walk?"

"No! I mean no I...I think I'm just going to go to bed now..."

"Why? You seem wide awake to me."

"...maybe?"

"Well how about we order a pizza then?"

"No!"

"What is with you tonight?"

"Nothing..."

"Well I'm ordering a pizza anyway."

"Fine...I'm going to go take a bath."

"Alright I'll be there in a minute." Erza said with a smile.

"Hurry?" Lucy asked nervously.

"Sure." Erza watched as Lucy slowly went into the bathroom. "Now let's see what scared you Lucy." She turned on the TV and saw the werewolf killing someone. "So she was watching a scary movie eh?" Erza laughed and headed into the bathroom. She saw Lucy sitting in the bathtub with her arms around her legs. Erza got in and leaned in close to Lucy. "So you were watching a scary movie?"

"It's not scary." Lucy said with a nervous glance at Erza. She knew it wasn't easy lying to her girlfriend though.

"You're scared."

"I'm not."

"Then why did you not want pizza or to go on a walk?"

"It's late..."

"Sure, but that hasn't stopped us before. You're just making excuses since you're scared."

"..."

"Am I right?"

"No..."

"Fine. You're getting the pizza." Erza said with a smirk.

"...Fine..." Lucy got up out of the tub and threw on her pajamas when she heard the knock on the door. Erza got up too and followed Lucy. Lucy opened the door and saw the pizza guy. She looked back to make sure Erza was close by in case he turned into a murderous wolf.

"Beautiful night isn't it?" He asked.

"Uh...yeah." Lucy said.

"I think I'll turn into a werewolf if I have to stay out late tonight!" He started laughing and Lucy ran off leaving a laughing Erza to get the pizza.

"Sorry. She was watching a scary movie earlier."

"Oh haha I've had two other people freak out on me too because of that. Have a good night." He handed her the pizza and Erza shut the door. She set the pizza down on the table and went to go find Lucy. She found her hiding under the bed.

"He's gone Lucy."

"Really?"

"Yes now come out."

Lucy slowly crawled out from under her bed. She looked up at Erza and saw she had her arms crossed. "Sorry..."

"I told you that you were scared."

"Yeah..."

"Come on. We have a pizza to eat."

"Will you stay with me tonight?"

"Of course." Erza smiled and her and Lucy sat down for some pizza.

"Thank you Erza."

"You're welcome Lucy. Now next time don't make excuses just because you're scared. Just tell me and I'll make sure to keep you safe."

"Okay...no more excuses." Lucy smiled and leaned in to kiss Erza. They spent the rest of the night watching a happier movie with no killer wolves.
