Betting On Promises
"Look, I'm telling you Erza. He's going to leave you something in your locker again." He grinned cheekily.
The red head looked away, a faint blush on her cheeks. "Not today. Gray just left me a box of chocolates yesterday."
Jellal scratched his head and smirked nonchalantly. "That chicken. He's being doing that for what? Two weeks?" He scoffed. "He should really just go up to you and confess."
Erza opened her locker and punched him on the arm playfully. "You know I don't feel that way about him."
He tousled her hair and feigned innocence. "Really now? I always thought you had a thing for stripper dudes like him."
That comment earned him another blow but this time, it was aimed at his leg. Jellal grunted in pain. "How is it guys like violent tomboys like you?"
Erza proceeded to grab a book from her locker and smash it down on Jellal's head.
"I…give up. Spare me, Titania." Jellal groaned mockingly. He smiled as she turned away. "How about we bet on it?"
Erza stopped and turned back towards him. "What are the stakes?"
The boy pretended to think about it. "What do you want if I lose?"
Erza grinned sadistically. "Hmm, you could confess to Gajeel that you're gay?"
Jellal whistled. "Gay for Gajeel? Kill me while you're at it, why don't you?" He leaned forwards and continued, "But if I win…"
Trailing off, he stared at Erza strangely as she held up a hand to silence him.
"What?"
Erza waved a hand and turned to leave. "I'm not going to lose, so you don't have to worry about it."
Jellal chuckled. "We'll see."
"So, did you get anything?"
Erza glared at him and hit him for the fourth time in the same day. "You put those gumballs in my locker!"
"Damn," he muttered, "how did you find out?"
"Natsu saw you."
Jellal ran a hand through his shocking blue hair. "All right, all right. I'll do it tomorrow. But if Levy ends up castrating me …" Another blow was aimed at his chest. "What now?"
"Gray still ended up leaving something in my locker," Erza rolled her eyes impatiently.
Jellal blinked once. "So…I win?"
Erza smacked her head against the wall as Jellal threw back his head and roared with laughter.
"What. Do. You. Want. Then?" She ground out between gritted teeth.
He wiped the tears from his eyes before he took a deep breath. "Phew. Are you busy tonight?"
"No…why?"
"Go on a date with me."
"Go on…a date with you?"
"Give me a chance," he pleaded with her.
She nodded slowly and blushed, and Jellal grinned triumphantly.
Jellal Fernandes never loses.
I promise to write a non-AU and non-angtsy Jerza one-shot later. Yes, I will.
This one-shot was kinda inspired by similar events that happened in my school last year. It was fairly amusing. And no, I don't like Gray X Erza but I do like Gajeel X Levy :)
