My Scarlet Rose (A Jerza Fanfic)

Chapter 4 - Erza Scarlet

Erza enjoyed a nice bath after fighting so much. It relaxed her muscles and she could replenish her magic. She was in the Fairy Tail's indoor bath. The girls' bath. All the girls were there, discussing different things. The topic of Natsu and Lucy came up, Cana asking if Lucy was actually groped by the Dragon Slayer.

"I didn't know you and Natsu had that kind of relationship." Erza said to the blond, but she honestly did know. Who didn't? Well, actually it was obvious that Lucy had feelings for Natsu, but no one could really tell if Natsu liked Lucy. No one could even picture Natsu with a girl.

"W-We don't." Lucy insisted. "I-It was an accident." Her cheeks were red and she sunk into the bath to hide her blush.

"There's no need to be shy, Lucy." Erza laughed.

"Well, what about you and Jellal?" Lucy countered, standing up in the bath. Everyone's eyes were on the two girls as they went back and forth.

"What about us?" Erza asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"I heard that you two kissed!" Everyone gasped at the shocking news.

"W-Well, we didn't." Erza stated, keeping her composure. She was technically telling the truth. They didn't kiss, but they almost did.

"And I also heard that he groped you!" Lucy nodded, happy with herself because she knew that it was true.

"W-Wha-" Erza's cheeks turned pink as she remembered the incident. It was at Ryuzetsu Land during the Grand Magic Games. Erza and Jellal were hanging out in the pool when, out of nowhere, Ichiya comes flying in their direction. Trying to get Erza out of the way, Jellal pushed her accidentally grabbing her boobs in the process. "T-That was actually an accident!" Erza defended.

"There's no need to be shy, Erza." Lucy teased, mocking what the redhead had said earlier.

Everyone in the guild knew of Erza and Jellal's relationship. They also knew how the two felt about each other. It wasn't rocket science. If you saw the way those two looked at each other, you could see their feelings written on their faces. But for whatever reason, they weren't together.

"So these people, Oración Seis, will help us defeat Zeref?" Rachael asked as they were walking. "Yes." Jellal answered. "Also," he continued, "the strongest guild of the Balam Alliance, Tartaros, is about to make its move."

"Tartaros!" Meredy shouted. Tartaros was not a guild you wanted to tangle with. Their guild consisted entirely of demons from the Book of Zeref. If they were making their move, it spelled trouble. "Jellal, we should-"

"Don't worry, Meredy." Jellal interrupted. "We need to get the Oración Seis. Let Fairy Tail handle Tartaros. I believe in them."

"Fairy Tail?" Rachael raised an eyebrow. That guild name got her attention. "That's the guild that won the Grand Magic Games. Erza Scarlet is in that guild, right? I watched her during the Games."

"Yep. That's them." Meredy hummed.

"Yeah and Erza's an incredibly strong wizard." Jellal smiled at the thought of Erza.

"Ok, Jellal. No need to fantasize about her. We already know you love her." Meredy teased. "S-Shut up." He blushed a light pink color and picked up his pace.

"I've actually wanted to meet Erza for as long as I can remember." Rachael said, smiling.

"A fan?" Meredy giggled and Rachael nodded.

"Aren't we all." Jellal commented with a smile.
