Request: How about jerza in the hot springs! Ohhh yeah

One-Shot:

When Ultear had suggested they take a break at a resort that was hidden from the rest of the world, in the sense that it was extremely small and unknown, Jellal hadn't really known what to expect.

But 'Fairy Tail' hadn't even been the list, yet there they were.

When they'd arrived, they had learnt that the hot springs was unisex, so Ultear suggested that she and Meredy go exploring whilst Jellal enjoyed himself for a bit. He had gratefully agreed; though, thinking back, Ultear, being the she devil she was, probably had this all planned.

Jellal had walked out to the back, and lowered himself in, only to realize a few seconds later that there was someone else in the springs meters away from where he lounged.

That 'someone' turned out to be Erza.

"J…Jellal?" He could hear the confusion in her voice, and dare he say it? He could hear delight.

"Yes," he smiled softly at her, nervous. "Hello Erza, didn't expect to see you here."

"Yeah, well, I finished my mission early and decided to take a break before going back," she moved closer, the mist shrouding their figures.

It took a minute for them to realize they were both stark-naked and centimeters away from each other.

Glowing red, they cast their eyes aside, unsure of what to say now. Jellal opened his mouth to attempt at a light conversation, but closed it after his mind went blank again. Unwillingly, his eyes trailed down her form, to her barely hidden assets. Catching himself, he mentally berated his mind and forcefully returned his eyes to her face, to find her watching him with adept concentration.

"How're things?" She asked softly, her head tilting so that the ends of her scarlet tresses dipped into the crystalline water. Relaxing again, he leaned against the rocky border, crossing his arms across his chest and smiling at her.

"They're fine, the council seems to have finally realized they're not going to catch us. Still, we have to be careful."

They carried on that way, each of them asking questions about their guilds and themselves, smiling and laughing in contentment. Alas, after a few hours had passed, they both decided it was probably time to get out.

Only, neither of them made a move.

"I missed you," Erza started hesitantly, unsure if she should be saying such things after what had happened on the island. "It's nice seeing you again, Jellal."

He stiffened slightly, also recalling their conversation on the island. Since then, how many times has he regretted it? Moving even closer to her, causing Erza herself to freeze up a bit, he made a reach for her fingers, glad when she obliged.

"I missed you too," he responded equally soft. It seemed like it was always them who were forced to separate themselves. A part of him reminded him that it was, really, his idea.

She smiled crookedly at him, before trying to turn away and accidentally rubbing against him. Both inhaled sharply, the movement sending jolts through their body and sparking their nerves alive. She apologized hurriedly, but for some damn reason (and of course, he knew the reason), he couldn't concentrate on her words; he was too busy concentrating on her.

Really, how much harm could a long-distance relationship do?

So, he leaned down and silenced Erza with his mouth. After a second, she responded eagerly, and it's safe to say that Jellal owed Ultear a huge thank you.
