A Day in Crocus

Call Your Name

Heya~ I just wanna give thanks to Jerza-Scarnandes for the votes, comment, and follow! Also, this chapter is going to be emotional and sad, unlike the previous ones.

I also suggest that reader-chan should listen to this instrumental song(Call Your Name piano version) while reading. I know, I know! It's from Shingeki no Kyojin but I really thought that it's perfect for this chappy. PS. Credits of Fairy Tail and the SnK song to their respectful owners. ^_^------>>

Third Person's POV.

Certain blue and red-haired mages were sitting silently accross each other inside the small cabin, drinking tea. Sunset was almost near, they guessed, even without the sun on sight.

Erza places her hands near the fireplace, in hopes of getting more warmth. She was thinking deeply, and have noticed that something was off with Jellal.

'It's getting colder every second,' the redhead thought as she shivers and tightens her grip on the black scarf Jellal gave her. Well, who might have thought that there were already clothes piled up inside a dresser, in this cabin's bedroom? That was where the scarf came from.

"Uh, Erza," Jellal suddenly spoke up, trying to start a conversation. He simply can't stand the silence.

The said girl looks up at him after sipping from her tea, "Hmm?"

The Heavenly Body mage first stared at the wall behind Erza blankly before saying something else. 'What should I say?!' he thought.

He later stands up from the sofa he was sitting on and reaches his hand out to the Requip Mage, "Shall we go out?"

The girl jumped out from her seat in surprise, "B-but, it's cold out there."

"Yeah, I know.. I just want to tell you something...."

Erza tilts her head slightly to the left, "Uhmm, you can tell it to me right now."

The man responded by walking inside the cabin's bedroom. When he got out, there were already a pair of furry coats.

He places them on a sofa beside Erza, "Wear them." He then got himself a blue coat, while Erza, still confused, wore the black one.

The two both dragged their feet towards the door. But before Jellal could grab the doorknob, Erza pokes him on the shoulder, "A-ano, Jellal---"

She was suddenly cut off when the blue-haired mage cupped her cheeks and passionately kissed her on the lips. She didn't kiss back, though. She was too surprised to do so.

For the first time, she actually thought: Jellal's been acting weird lately.

He finally broke away, and the two have been catching for air.

Erza decided that she should already ask him about his weird actions, "Jellal, wh---"

"Erza, if you want to kill me, do it. Don't hesitate, because I've always been a horrible friend to you. I thought you don't love me but you actually do. But... I don't," he sighed and looked away. Erza's eyes became wide open.

Is this really true?

Jellal continues, guilt spread accross his face, "I already knew that you have already forgiven me for I what I did to Simon. But, when I found out from Lucy that you're actually deeply in love with me, I forced myself to love you back. But I just can't. I don't know why, but I can't seem to return to you the same feelings you have for me. That's why I wanted you to kill me.. to end this pain.. and that pain was simply the thought that I was already toying with your feelings---"
