A Morning Walk

You tried to focus on the birds as you walked through the streets of town. It wasnt as crowded as it usually was but still..

The sun was warm against your skin, and the sound of people talking and waking up filled the occasional silence. You pull your sleeves down and wrap it around your thumb.

You take in a breath as the eerie feeling fills your chest. You turn to see nobody in particular. Your heart beats faster as you see the hall. You keep your eyes on it as the feeling grows.

"(Y/n)."

From the ally, a familiar georgious face appears infront of you. Practically jumping out of your skin, your face heats up at the sight of him.

"H-hi, Jellal." You see him smirk at your stuttering. It was kind of embarrassing.

He lets out a laugh. It was glorious. Your heart speeds up as you feel his two fingers under your chin. "So. We are leaving tonight, my lovely." His hand made its way to your cheek, his thumb softly stroking it. Your face burned as he stepped closer.

Your mind went blank. "W-what? We're leaving?" You blink at him as his smile widened.

"So precious." He cupped your face with his hands. Pulling you closer, he pecked your lips. "Yes. We talked about it last night." He gave you a loving smile. His eye sparkled as your body shivered.

The sun made you remember the conversation from the following night. You were to dazed to remember on the spot. Your breath was coming in shallow breaths as he rubbed your arms and stared down at your lips, while licking his own. "You never told me where we were going."

His eyes widened at you comment. "It's nothing you need concern yourself with." Jellal leaned in again and pressed himself against you. Your heart was once again racing by the sudden contact. He moved in sync with you as he slowly took your breath away. Soon the kiss was broken by him putting his forehead to yours. "Be ready by ten." You heard his words but they didnt sink in.

You let out a breathy okay, and you soon felt your skin go cold from were his hands were. Opening your eyes, you see nobody infront of you.

You stood there collecting yourself, before you continued on to the guild. It didn't take long to get there, in fact it felt like a few steps.

Walking through the front arc, you can see some of members eating breakfest in the tables outside. They waved at you and said their greetings, which of course you returned.

You place your hand on the cold brass door handle. It opened with ease, and it made a huge old door creek. Upon entering, you see Mira, Lizanna, and Elfman were already there along with Wokaba and Macao.

"Hey, (Y/n)!" Lizanna called to you with a wave. You walked over to them, while also greeting the two senior wizards of the guild. ((By senior I don't mean old! ^ _^ ~ ))

"Umm...have you seen my necklace?" By their faces, you knew that they had. Mira walked to the counter and pulled it out of a box. Her heels clicked at she came back to you.

She let out a giggle. "Here! Happy had left it on a table!" Mira had told you once that she kept finding things around the guild, so one day she thought she would keep them safe until the owner would come along and get it back. It was always nice to hear her stories.

You took it from her and put it around your neck. "Thanks, Mira!" You gave her a smile, which of course she returned.

You spoke with them for a good long while, without even realizing that all the members had showed up, some even taking jobs. Lizanna joked with you and Elfman, while Mira was always moving.

Everyone was happy that day. It was as though Fantasia was just that next morning. Everyone was smiling, laughing, drinking. There were no fights, nor cross words. Even Gray and Natsu got along. It warmed you to see such a happy family.

Little did you know that the smiles that were shared that day would soon fade.
