Erza's POV

7: 05 pm

Storage Room

I looked at the metal door and sighed in defeat. How will I get out of here? I thought. I sat on the cold floor and looked at the night sky. I looked at my surrounding, seeing if there's a helpful thing nearby. Plastic sword? No. basketball ring? No. Hula-hoop? Definitely. The rest were no use either. I hit my head on the metal door and it vibrated as the pain soared my head. Trouble really likes me and I hate it. I growled and massaged my head. Think, Erza. Think. Then I remembered about my phone. I fished it out from my uniform jacket and flipped it open. Shoot! No more battery, I better hurry up and call for help. Papa? He's totally busy. Kagura? She always has her headphone on so it'll be a waste of battery. Knightwalker? SHE'S NO USE AT ALL! Jellal? Definitely n-

Toot toot

That annoying sound, indicating my phone charge is already less than 10%. I don't like Jellal acting so proud that he'll be saving me, I don't like that habit of his. Nevertheless, I need help. I pressed the 'call' button and called him. I carefully placed it on my ear, hoping he will answer. He immediately picked it up. My heart skipped a beat when he answered.

"What are you thinking?! He's just your best friend!" My mind said and I don't know if that's true. I think….

"You're in love, Erza. You are in love with your best friend!" My heart told me and I knew it was right. I love him and just recently found out. I don't even know if…. if its right to fall in love with my best friend.

"Hey babe, how are you?" his habit and voice annoyed me to death. I could have thrown my phone only because of those words but I need help and this is what I should expect.

"Pick me up here in the storage room, I'm kinda locked" I said in a cold, harsh tone which isn't the tone I expect. The rain started pouring outside and gave me cold shivers. Its cold in here, very cold. I rubbed my hand on my upper arm, hoping it will give me heat. "Hurry up"

"On what floor?" he asked and I heard him picking up something while walking. His tone changed from the charming tone to the worried tone. I'm kinda flattered about that, my best friend actually knows how to care for someone. I thought that his mind is only full of how to charm girls and such. Stupidity is helpful sometimes, right? I didn't expect that to happen.

"On the 5th floor and hurry up 'cause its rain-" my sentence was cut by the beeping sound of my phone. I looked at it and saw that it shut itself down because I already don't have enough battery. I hit my head on the metal door and my head vibrated because of the concrete. I placed it on my pocket and prayed that someone will come and open the door. I hugged my knees and waited for someone.

For Jellal…

To at least come and open the door…

So that I…..

I could know if he really cares about me

But that's…. just impossible

I hugged my knees and waited for someone to come. After almost an hour, I heard heavy footsteps on the hallway and someone yelling my name. It was a voice of a familiar man and I couldn't place whom voice it was. I stood up and pounded the door. "I'm here! Help me!" I yelled, hoping that the man would hear it. I heard his footsteps go faster, like he was running. I heard him pounding on the chains until it clattered on the ground. He opened the door for me and I was disappointed of who he was.

"Lahar," I said in a surprised tone. His hair was like his usual hairstyle, his hair tied into a bun. He was wearing a jacket and a shirt underneath and pants for the bottom. He was holding a flashlight. Out of the blue, he hugged me tight. What's happening?

"Erza, thank God you are safe!" Lahar said, hugging me tighter. I pushed him away gently, confused of his action. I know he cares for me and its rude to push him away but…. his eyes were different. It wasn't care…. It was….

Longing?

"T-Thank you, Lahar for saving me" I said, awkwardly.

"I just saw Minerva passed by, I thought you two were talking so I didn't mind it. She looks like she was in hurry" Lahar said and I nodded. "I found out she locked you when I saw there were chains on the metal door of the storage room."

"So it was her who locked me into this room, huh?" I said, curling my fingers on my chin. I looked at Lahar once again. He avoided my gaze. I wonder what's wrong. "Lahar, what's wrong?"

"I…. I need to tell you something," Lahar said, taking my hands. I looked at our hands and stared at it for a second. He took a shaky breath and looked at me in the eye. "Erza, since…. since I saw you and met you at the Era High School, I knew…. I knew that I fell in love with you. I transferred here just to see you and have more time with you. I…. I like you, Erza. I really do."

I was silent all the time. I didn't think that my Vice President would like me. Deadly silence passed by. "Erza, please speak. Tell me something." Lahar said and I smiled. I laughed at his words. Its not like its my first time to get a confession. Lahar looked at me, confused. I tried to stop laughing but I couldn't, just like every time I refused a confession. Every time a guy would confess their feelings for me, I'll just laugh at them and tell them gently that I don't like them back.

"S-Sorry," I said, trying not to laugh. I managed to calm down but am still giggling. I patted his head and messed it. I looked at him in the eye and smiled. "I don't think I deserve you, Lahar. I have someone that I really like and he doesn't know it yet. I'm sorry, Lahar but… I'm not the type of girl that would best fit you. I'm a boyish type of girl and I believe that the girl who will love you back is the girl who really likes you."

"But-" Lahar tried to explain but I felt a manly hand took my hand and pulled me away from him. I turned to look at him and saw it was the almighty Jellal, the one who didn't even care to save me from that storage room. He dragged me away from Lahar before I could even realize. When I came to my senses, I was already outside, Jellal giving me his blue coat without a word.

"How are you supposed to protect yourself from the rain?!" I yelled at him, letting my anger through those words even though those words weren't the words I wanted to say. He doesn't even care about me getting locked into a storage room? I'm already freezing in there! Albeit, he didn't spoke a word. He just looked into my eyes and gave me the coat. I clenched my fist. "Are you mute?! SPEAK!"

He approached me and made me wear the coat even though I was hitting him and all. I tried to open the buttons of the coat and throw it away but it didn't. I guess it was one of Sieg Hart-san's inventions. He still didn't speak or told me a single word. He paddled his bike and got wet because of the rain. He was drenched yet he didn't spoke a single word as I teased him or yelled at him. Then I realized something.

He was there… He came for me. He let me his coat and let himself got wet by the rain. He paddled for me. I yelled at him yet he didn't got mad. He…

He actually cared?

Guilt started weighing down on me. How could I not notice such thing? I need to, at least, give him a thank-you gift. I unconsciously wrap my arms around his waist and held onto him. He flinched at my action but didn't said anything. I leaned on his back and closed my eyes for a while.

How could I thank him?

Jellal's POV

8:00 pm

Bedroom

I sneezed and sighed. My head feels like lead and my eyelids are so heavy. I am sick, just because I let my coat to the unworthy Erza who doesn't care that I came to save her and Lahar comes into the scene and takes my lines and gosh! She's yelling at me after that? After all those running outside my house and taking my bike and almost-near-death-experiences, she doesn't care? Well, I wouldn't care about her too! I was so worried! SO VERY MUCH WORRIED! Yet she thinks I'm not? She's so stupid! Stupider than me!

ACHOOOOOO!

I sneezed again. I sighed and closed my eyes. I felt the cold towel from my head was taken away and I heard squish sounds. I opened my eyes slightly and saw my red haired best friend, pressing the towel and dipping it on a bowl of cold water. I sneezed again and blinked several times before confirming Erza was there. She put the cold towel on my head gently and caressed my face.

"I'm sorry," she said, gently while caressing my cheeks. Her hands were soft and warm, making me snuggle closer to it. She didn't get mad or anything. "I'm sorry that I yelled at you earlier. I knew I shouldn't done it"

"Its okay," I said. "I should be there earlier"

"No, you did enough" she shook her head and removed her hand from my cheeks. I was disappointed at first but then I realize she took my medicine. Medicine sure is very bitter but I like it when Erza is the one who is giving it to me. I decided to tease her a bit. She spread her hand, revealing the pill and I shook my head. "What? You should be the one to put it in your mouth"

"My hands are numb," I said, acting like its actually numb when it's not. She sighed and slowly put the pill on my mouth, before she could retreat her index finger, I….. pfffft…. bite it. With that, she revealed her inner cute Erza.

"Kyaaaah!" she said in a cute voice. I suppose she was surprised by my action. I smirked and decided to let her poor index finger go. She shot me a glare and I just laugh then the bitterness of the pill stroke me. She stuck her tongue out as I tried to ignore the bitterness.

8:20 pm

Since my bed has the king size, Erza decided to study near me so that she would be able to assist me if I needed to. She was sitting and typing things on her laptop. She was making preparations for the play that was going to happen the day after tomorrow. The doctor said I would be able to go at school tomorrow because it's just a common cold. I stared at her figure, her chocolate orbs staring intently at the laptop screen, her scarlet locks behind her, her lips twitching every once in a while. I smiled at the sight and she noticed me. She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Uhh… sorry, did I wake you up?" she said, putting a hand on my arm and patting it lightly. She was doing it earlier, just before I slept. It was a good action to make people asleep, especially for me. She was doing it because it was her habit. Since we were kids, I and Erza were caring each other each time one of us got sick. Erza kept patting my arm until I drifted to sleep.

Erza's POV
Next Day

School

Recess

Yesterday, when Jellal was sleeping and I wanted to sleep too because its already midnight. I snuggled myself closer to him and it turned out that I slept with him hugging me. Luckily, no one had seen us because its gonna be a total embarrassment if one had seen us. It was also luck that I woke up earlier than Jellal and stayed in that position for a while. Being so close to him makes my heart beat faster than usual. I left him for school and saw him earlier on the practice. He was talking to me about how I left him and almost got late for school. I chuckled with the thought. I reached the canteen and saw Jellal with….

with Ultear?

They were holding each other's hands and being…. sweet to each other
