Natsu: Sparrow! Fight me!
Sparrow :No natsu I don't feel like it...If you do the disclaimer then I'll think about it?
Natsu: Nah I did it last time.
Lucy:I'll do it! Sparrow-chan does not own Fairy Tail or it's characters. It would be cool if she did though maybe she'd get Loke to stop flirting with me...
Loke: Never my princess...Chapter 6 awaits you *winks*
Lucy P.O.V
It had been a couple of days since I agreed to travel with Jellal. Ultear and Meredy were doing their own thing for a while so it was just going to be me and...him... Don't get me wrong I felt quite comfortable around him it's just this feeling I kept getting. You like himan inner voice whispered. I don't he likes Erza I can't! I thought back. I was like an argument between my mind and heart both had good points but in the end I could only side with one. If I remember rightly last time we saw Erza she was in liplock with Natsu. So why can't we? It asked now that was a good point. If Erza was in love with Natsu then why should I associate her with Jellal? How is that even relevant? So what? We can't use him as the rebound guy it wouldn't be fair,my mind retorted. Wow this was turning into a heated argument now. You're just making up excuses...The heart is at the centre of all emotions. You are logic. But you can't deny what you feel for him. It said. Was it me or was this voice actually making sense to me? I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Ready?" Jellal asked giving me a strange look. I must of spaced out. I simply nodded and gathered my things before we had to go. We were traveling away from Magnolia since we were still quite close. Once we reached our destination we would begin training. I was a little nervous about training with him. What if he thinks I'm weak? or What if I mess up? I asked myself. If you don't like him then why do would care? God this voice was beginning to sound a lot like Laxus I could see the smirk on his face now. Jellal had packed up all of our camping supplies including the tent. That was something else I had to get used to. Jellal was a fugitive so he couldn't be seen in public that meant a lot of camping for us. Since Ultear and Meredy had taken the other tent, we had to share. I didn't mind though. I blushed as I remembered what I had woken up to this morning...
Flashback (8:00am) No ones P.O.V
The sun rose from the east as always, it's light shone down on the Forest. In the distance you could hear the faint sound of Magnolia getting ready for their day. The sunlight hit a certain blonde mages face making her shift away from the light. Unfortunately the sunlight seemed to follow her. She groggily opened her eyes and stifled a yawn. She felt warm which was unusual since she'd slept on the floor. Yes she'd finally gotten used to the fact that she had left Magnolia and now she woke up knowing she wasn't in her normal bed. She went to sit up but found that she was unable to. Dread filled her, please no...She looked down and found what she had been dreading was exactly what had occurred. Jellal with his arms wrapped tightly around the blondes waist sleeping soundly. Not again I can't stand another awkward silence. Lucy thought. This had become a recurring event and had always ended with the two of them not uttering a single word to each other for hours. She honestly thought it was the cutest habit she'd ever seen but couldn't help but blush. He looked so peaceful. She sighed there was no way for her to get out of his grasp (she'd tried many times) so she decided to wait for him to wake up instead. She lay back down and just looked at the bluenette. Silently admiring his features. Before she could even think of what she was doing she found herself stroking his hair.
It was incredibly soft. She had no idea why but it felt kind of soothing to be this close to him. She trailed her fingers over his face and traced the outlines of his tattoo. His breathing was still steady indicating he was still asleep. She finally came to a stop as she lingered looking over his lips. She was hesitant at first but finally rested her fingers on them. They were slightly parted, she look feel his breath as he breathed in and out. Without warning Jellal's hand shot up and grasped hers. She gasped, Oh no he's awake this is going to be awful! she thought. Only his eyes didn't open and his breathing stayed steady.It must have been a reflex or something. She concluded she freed herself from his grip and sighed in relief. That was too close for comfort. She went the rest of the time staring at the top of the tent, anything but looking at Jellal.
End of Flashback (Lucy P.O.V)
We began walking together in an uneasy silence. It wasn't awkward but it wasn't comfortable either. It didn't know what to say, I kept opening my mouth but quickly closed it after rethinking what I was going to say.
"So...Where are we going?" I asked finally breaking the silence. He turned back to look at me briefly before turning back in the direction we were travelling in. I thought I saw him...Smirk?
"You'll know when we get there" he said. How is that supposed to answer my question?
"Jellal~ tell me please!" I said pleading with him. He turned again looking amused by my actions and his smile only widened.
"Nope you'll just have to wait" he said tauntingly. I pouted at his reply and turned away from him. I then had an idea and smiled. I randomly stopped walking and crossed my arms. After a few more steps Jellal turned back and saw I wasn't following him anymore. "Lucy? What are you doing?" he asked confusedly. I grinned at this and just closed my eyes.
"Until you tell me I'm not moving from this spot " I said. I heard footsteps getting closer to me.
"Come one Lucy stop playing around." He said from in front of me. I shook my head. I heard him sigh and I smirked in victory. I thought he was going to give in and tell me, how wrong I was...
Jellal P.O.V
"So...where are we going?" Lucy asked. We had been in silence for quite a while after the...incident. Lucy was quite adorable thinking she had gotten away with what she did this morning. Yes I knew what she had been doing.
Flashback (Jellal P.O.V)
From the first moment her hand made contact with my head I knew. I decided it was best to pretend not to of woken up. It would save us another awkward silence and make sure she didn't get too embarrassed. It was harder than I thought to keep up the act. To not smile when she petted my head. To not blush when she traced over the edges of my tattoo. When she touched my lips I couldn't take it. My hand shot up and grabbed hers. I would of loved to see the look on her face at that moment. I didn't move or say anything. We stayed like that for a while before she decided I was still asleep and acting on pure instinct. She released her hand from my grip and it dropped to her side. I missed her gently touch, I slowly opened my eyes to see her blushing bright red. She was looking at the tent's top, a small smile graced my lips. Maybe this might actually work out after all.
End of Flashback (Jellal's P.O.V)
"You'll know when we get there" I teased playfully. It was quite amusing watching her get frustrated with people.
"Jellal~ tell me please!" she asked. I turned to her but immediately turned back seeing the look on her face. Seconds later I felt heat rise on my face. The way she said that was unbelievable adorable. Wait what? You like her A voice said in my head. No of course I don't what a foolish statement another called out.
"Nope you'll just have to wait."I said back to her. I just loved to tease the blonde, she made it quite simple for anyone to get her annoyed. I walked on until I no longer felt her presence behind me. "Lucy? What are you doing?" I asked puzzled. Her eyes were closed and arms crossed.
"Until you tell me I'm not moving from this spot. " She said. I walked closer to her. I now stood in front of the stellar spirit mage.
"Come on Lucy stop playing around." I said It was actually really amusing. This must be her way of being rebellious. Oh no she wasn't going to get her way. She shook her head at my request. I smirked. She was in for it now. She thought that she'd won. In one swift movement I was behind her and she was now in my arms. I smiled in victory. Her eyes snapped open and she was shocked, I began walking back in the direction of our destination. I looked at Lucy, she was blushing.
"J-jellal p-put me down!" she yelled. I laughed at her obvious embarrassment. She was shifting in my arms but made no move to get away from me.
"You said that you weren't moving I have proved you wrong. You must understand that I want to surprise you" I told her. She looked away trying to hide her blush but failing miserable.
"F-fine I'll come now you can p-put me down" She said. I smirked she was so naive.
"If you insist" I said. I let go of her legs and she roughly fell to the floor. I laughed, so much in fact that I had to hold my stomach. She glared at me but I didn't notice.
"Hmm whatever I'll get you back. Just you wait." she warned. I was actually quite provoked. We began walking again and this time we talked frequently to one another. Did I have a feelings for her? How could she get to me? After hurting Erza I swore that I'd never fall for anyone again but within days all the walls that I built are crashing down because of one girl. Maybe if I didn't hurt her then it'd be okay for me to fall in love? Well by the looks of things that particular theory will be tested. Now how do I explain all of this to Ultear and Meredy..?
Sparrow: Haha Jellal's got some explaining to do XD.
Ultear: Oh yes he has
Meredy: I agree
Sparrow: Just don't go too hard on him will you?
Ultear: Why not? *evil grin*
Sparrow: N-no reason *blushes* A-anyway I'm sorry about this chapter it's kind of lame but I'm tired so sue me -_- and if you don't like the cheesy moments or think the Characters are OOC I'm very sorry...
Ultear: Don't apologise!
Sparrow: Sorry!
Ultear: Ugh Jellal please sort her out before I get really annoyed!
Meredy:You might not wanna watch the drama so byeee!
