~*Jellal's POV*~
" So any suggestions you like to eat, Lady Erza? " I asked looking at her which seeing
" I'm more of fruits and vegetables.. " Erza replied as I look around to check out some restaurants.
" Do you prefer some elegant cuisine or maybe some sweet delicacies? " I asked again clearing my throat as we walked through the crowded people.
" I actually wanted to try this cake.. Levy recommended some desserts while we were attending your ball " Erza said as I smiled knowing a perfect place.
" Great! I know a place.. " I hold her hand as I quickly dragged her carefully as people looked at us.
I finally got to the Lily's Cafe and Delicacies, one of the top desserts I know of here in Fiore treating on of the boys did almost sold out all the food. I open the door which hearing the bell with one of the workers are in the counter drying some plates, I cleared my throat while seeing Erza admiring the place so I smiled showing my royal family crest suggesting a private place for two, they quickly salute and preparing us for a table.
" The smell is so sweet..! " Erza smiled as she kept sniffing from the air, " There is no doubt it would taste great! "
" It is one of the best patries here in Fiore.. for me at least.. " I chuckled as the waiter bowed at us.
" You're table for two, your highness? " The waiter smiled at us leading us upstairs where from outside in the balcony with fancy view.
Erza jaw dropped while I lead her to one of the chairs, being a gentleman I let her sit and adjust closer to the table quickly sitting at the other side. I smiled again feeling confident to treat Erza some pastries she would love it I hold on the menu pointing some meals including salad, steak and the better preserved strawberry cake for two. I saw Erza getting a little nervous while I reached out for her hand on the table giving a comforting smile.
" You're first being in a dinner table for two? " I asked which made her blush.
" Well.. Does me and mom count..? " She asked as I laughed.
" You can say that.. " I smiled as we waited and enjoy the view from outside, " You enjoying Fiore? Bet that your job longer and having the great time with your team.. "
" I did with the different place, it is nice to look forward for more exploring the country.. " She replied as our order was given to us, steak for me and salad for her.
" A beautiful lady like you sure got the experience of love, am I correct? " I responded while I cut the steak into pieces.
" Not really expecting nor experience love for my life.. The only man I ever loved so much is father who was killed when I was young.. " She said as I gulped hearing this news from her is without a thought sadness.
" I'm sorry for bringing that up.. " I apologized but looking at her she only smiled.
" It's fine really.. " She simply responded knowing deep inside she is hiding her sadness, " I would want to get my justice who killed my father right before my eyes.. "
" I'm sure that your father is very proud of you right now.. " I assure her as she enjoyed her meal, " I would be glad helping you out finding the killer for you, Fairy Tail never gives up to find peace for someone who grief their loved ones.. "
" No need really.. but thank you.. " She giggled as she eats, " What about you? "
" Hm? " I finished my meal as wiped my mouth looking at her.
" Have you even experience love? I mean you are literally finding a suitable queen before stepping into becoming king.. " She asked as she looked back only making me blush staring at her deeply.
" I wouldn't want to rush finding a wife.. exploring is one of main goals " I said as I looked at her smiling, " Besides if I have to get a wife soon.. I wanna learn more about her and be with her in my adventures before becoming a king.. "
We stare deeply from each other in her brown chocolate eyes glisten as her cheeks were getting warmed up with her beautiful red hair it made me smile more as I was about to really fall- but then I was snapped from reality when the waiter rang the bell from away offered us the cake and taking our used plates away. She looked at the cake and sniffs at it which seeing her eyes sparkle, I took the fork and start digging the cake which was really delicious then I watched Erza eat some cake squealing and smiling as kept going enjoying the cake.
" This is so sweet and delicious! This is better than vegetables!! " She exclaimed as she kept digging for the sliced cake while I chuckled.
I saw some icing from the side of her lip, I grabbed some tissue and lean closer to her to wipe the icing, she widen her eyes after I wiped while made me chuckle making myself blush.
" S-Sorry you got something in your lips, I wiped it out for you.. " I simply sat down again while seeing her getting more embarrassed, " You were enjoying and looking so cute- "
" A-Ah..! Sorry!! " She said as she bowed quickly only getting cake on her face slowly sit up and opening her eyes.
" I-I.. " I was speechless at first but I laughed, " Hahahaha! Now you have all over your face!! " She giggled getting some tissue to wipe out the cake.
" I just really loved the cake.. hehe.. " She said shyly but I looked at her with a smile on my face.
" Now I know what to treat you next time.. " I only giggled giving her my sliced cake.
The dinner was really a success thanking the cafe shop I offered two bags of coins and head on our way back to the guild, I heard Erza cough a little which I looked at her rubbing her hands together must have been cold tonight. I started to take off my jacket and wrapped around her which she looked at me blushing again and seeing her embarrassed. I didn't mind holding her hand as well as we walked from the sidewalks as the moon was shining so brightly to the sky, it was really nice and peaceful until suddenly we heard a loud bang far away.
" What was that.. " I heard Erza as we become aware running towards the guild, that seems to be safe for now.
" What's happening?! " I burst the door open which seeing them looking out from the windows.
" We hear a loud bang from the miles away from northeast.. " Gajeel said as we go upstairs from the balcony which smoke was coming out near the fishing area.
I widen my eyes which I can tell there's gonna be a disaster coming..
" M-Mom.. " I heard Erza whispered as I looked at her.
