He gazed at the girl who was still cleaning muck out of his hair, as badly as I'm beaten up, I'm sorta glad I'm here with her.. ugh what am I saying, she walks in the light and I in the darkness. The Light and Dark don't mix...
Chapter 3: An Unexpected Visitor
"Jellal? Would you like more yakisoba?" Erza asked holding up a bowl of steamy, fresh, yakisoba.
"Uh, I'll pass. But your yakisoba is like no one else's. Can I get your recipe?" He asked, attempting to break the awkward atmosphere...
"Sure?" The redhead replied, unsure whether the aura just got weirder. What was she supposed to say? Oh hey Jellal! Long time no see! Last time I saw you we almost kissed! How's your fake fiance doing? No that would just make this situation ten times worse than it already is.
"Listen, Erza. I'm sorry." The blue haired mage started, regret lacing his voice.
"Sorry?" Erza eyes widened and she was taken off guard by his statement. What could he possibly be sorry for?
"Sorry for trying to kiss you. I didn't mean it, I just..." His voice trailed off. Erza stared into his lost eyes, sensing the pain of his former mistakes.
"O-Oh. It's fine" The re-equip mage affirmed. She felt a twist in the pit of her stomach. It wasn't something she liked, it was a weird feeling almost like... sadness.
"You must be tired" Erza stated, "Maybe you should go sleep..." She trailed off. Jellal nodded and started walking toward her bedroom. When he finally left, she sighed. It seemed with him around the aura in the apartment would never go down, wherever he went it looks like the tense air followed him.
The redhead got up and made her way toward her bedroom after Jellal. She sat down next to the blue blob, soon enough light snores were heard. Erza smiled softly, quickly she realized what she was doing and wiped the smile off her face. She shook her head a few times in attempt to set it straight.
Bing. Erza froze, she sat rooted to her spot. Knock.
"Erza?" Creak. The door was pushed open and a lighter blue blur popped through the door. Crap! Just my luck. JELLAL! In a speedy noticeable manner there was a thick red blanket over the poor sleeping mage. Levy stared at her friend with confusion dancing across her face.
"Hi Levy! W-What brings you here at such late hours?" Erza was sweating bullets unbeknownst to the solid-script mage.
"Erza, it's only 9:00 PM." She stated mentally sweat dropping. "Anyway, I just came to take back those books you borrowed that you said you were done with."
"Oh, yes, th-the books!" The redhead stammered, sweating profusely.
"Uh Erza?" Levy prompted, "Are you okay? You're stuttering" The bluenette pointed out, worriedly.
"Feeling peachy!" She squeaked stealing a few glances at the lumpy bundle of mahogany blankets laying on her bed. Levy looked in the directed that Erza was glancing and noticed the barely noticeable lump under a giant blood red blanket.
She pointed to the blanket, "Is there a person under there? Or am I just imagining things?" The petite blunette asked, rubbing her eyes.
"You seem tired. Here are you books." She started grabbing the books from nowhere. "Gee it's getting late! It was nice of you to visit. You should probably get going. See ya tomorrow!" She said quickly trying to push Levy out the door.
"Erza" Levy said softly, "Are you drunk?" Erza's eyes widened at that question, she shaked her head furiously.
"Are you sure? You only get this flustered when you're drunk... or you're in love..." Levy trailed off as she began thinking. "ERZA, YOU'RE IN LOVE!" She practically screamed.
"I-Impossible! There are definitely not any guys in this building, or in this room, or under that red blanket, and I am definitely not gay. Good day, Levy." She huffed slamming the door in her face. In love huh? Not me.
"ERZA! I KNOW THE TRUTH!" Levy stopped yelling for a moment, "Um Erza" She knocked on the door lightly, "These aren't the right books..." The solid-script mage trailed off.
"Come back tomorrow! I'm sleepy." Erza yelled attempting to fake yawn and locking her door.
"Solid Script: Unlock!" The word unlock appeared in the air, after glowing slightly, the door unlocked. Levy pounced on the door, causing it to open, she strode inside. The bluette covered her mouth with her hands, in attempt to choke back her gasp.
"J-Jellal? I-Isn't he a criminal?" Levy didn't know what to think of this scene. Erza was sitting next to the blue-haired sleeping figure.
"Shit. I wasn't supposed to let anyone find him. Damn it!" Erza cursed herself, getting up and punching a wall.
"What's going on here, Erza?" Levy asked still focused on the blue haired criminal.
"Well I guess I could tell you but you can't tell anyone else. Have a seat. I'll make you some tea." Said Erza, heading off to her kitchen. She filled up a kettle with water and set it on her burner. After the water boiled she poured the hot water in two cups. She then placed tea bags in each of the cups. She then brought the tea cups and some sugar and cream as well to the couch.
Erza began telling the tale of the former wizard saint. When she finished, Levy had everything about Erza figured out. Even though she figured most of it out she only had one question, "How do you hide a criminal?"
