Thirty-Nine - Ultear Milkovich

Ultear noticed that Siegrain seemed to be in a strange mood throughout their meeting. It made her a little suspicious and she resolved to talk to him afterwards. Right as they were finishing up, the door of the room burst open loudly. Everyone looked over in surprise to see a very angry looking Gray and Natsu. Ultear wondered what they were doing at Era and what they were upset about.

"Are you Siegrain Fernandes?" Gray demanded as the two stopped in front of Sieg.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Natsu asked, not waiting for an answer. "Why are you such a dick?"

"Excuse me?" Sieg asked.

"A dick," Gray repeated. "Why are you such a great big bag of dicks?"

The rest of the student council snickered and Ultear had to fight hard to not smirk. Siegrain looked entirely affronted as he stood up. Before he could say anything, Natsu punched him, right in the face. Sieg fell backwards, tumbling over his chair and landing hard on the floor. Everyone gasped and Ultear got up to see if he was okay.

"What happened, Gray?" she asked. "What did he do?"

"I didn't do anything!" Sieg said, jumping up from the floor. He held his hand over his face, seeming to be in a good deal of pain.

"Like hell!" Natsu shouted.

"Did he do something to Erza?" Meredy asked.

"Of course not!" Sieg snapped. A red mark was forming just under his left eye.

"No, he just betrayed his brothers and got one of 'em beat to hell," Gray said, angrily.

Ultear instantly lost any sympathy for Sieg's injury. "He what?" she asked, glaring.

"Oh," Sieg said. "That."

"What, Siegrain?" she asked. "What did you do?" She looked back at Gray and Natsu. "Is Jellal okay?" she asked. "Where is he?"

"He's at Fairy Tail," Gray said. "And he'll be fine."

"Why would he go there?" Sieg asked, seeming displeased.

"Why do you care?" Natsu asked. "Just stay away from him or you'll have us to deal with. I've got my eye on you."

Natsu stormed out of the room and Gray backed out after him, glaring at Sieg. "Fairy Tail, out."

Once Natsu and Gray left, everyone looked to Siegrain. He just kicked his chair angrily and put his hands in his face.

"Dammit," he said.

"Sieg, you really are a great big bag of dicks," Ultear said scathingly. "Go put ice on your face."

With that, she stormed out of the room.

"Ultear, wait!" he called after her, but she paid him no mind.

-.-.-

She didn't show up at student council meetings or any of the classes she shared with Sieg for two days. When she finally saw him again, in homeroom at the end of the day, he had a huge black eye marring the left side of his face. She didn't speak to him, even when he tried to speak to her. She was mad at herself for wanting to ask how his eye felt, so she refused to even look at him. Instead she busied herself looking at a text message she had just received.

'Siegrain-sama is a great big bag of dicks, pass it on.'

She didn't recognize the number the text had come from, but it was the third time in the past two days she had gotten the same message. It seemed to be travelling around the school. She even heard from Meredy that Lyon and some of his friends at Lamia Scale had received the text. She heard Sieg get a text a few minutes later, and then saw his phone soar across the room and hit the wall. Sieg didn't get up to retrieve his phone, so Ultear strolled over and picked it up, reading the messages on the screen.

'Siegrain-Sama is a great big bag of dicks, pass it on.'

'This IS Siegrain! Who the hell is this and where did you hear that?!'

'Everyone's heard it. Maybe you shouldn't be such a bag of dicks.'

"They're right, you know," Ultear said. "Also, you shouldn't throw this. You might break it."

"It has a case on it," he said, snatching his phone from her. "So, are you talking to me again?"

"That depends," she said. "Are you ready to stop being an asshat?" He didn't respond. She shrugged and walked away. "Fine," she said. "Come find me when you become a decent person. Meanwhile, I hope your face hurts a lot."
