Eight Members (A NaLu, GrUvia, JeRza, GaLe Fanfic) [COMPLETED]

Ch. 29: #JeRzaDuetInTheRain!!

Okay, I was really happy with the Fairy Tail’s latest chapter so I posted this chapter real quick. There was a little bit of NaLu there, too! Most of all, I was really excited of Gray’s most awaited answer to Juvia’s feelings! Kyaaaah~♥!

{Erza’s POV}

“First time, huh?” I mused, feeling astounded as I reminisced the memories of our first concert. I was happy because the concert didn’t turn out as bad as I had expected it to be. In fact, it was fun for the people who attended the concert. I’m contented with the outcome, to sum it up.

My face burned up as I remembered the event that happened after the picture about Jellal showed up. I didn’t know why I did that in the first place. I did what my instincts told me. I really didn’t think it through, which was wrong and unusual for me. Usually, I think everything twice, just to make sure that nothing will ever go wrong. I was lucky this time that everything went smoothly after what I did. Still, it made me want to hide in a rat hole and never come out again. Why? JeRza issue is alive, my dear friends. We all had our own twitter accounts, and I saw that a topic was trending since yesterday: #JeRzaLove.

I turned around and bumped into Gray on the way back, “Oh hey,” he greeted, nodding at me. “The girls are looking for you. They said they were gonna discuss something important with you.” he was about to walk away, but then stopped. “By the way, on twitter, the topic #JeRzaLove is already trending. Good luck with that.” he added with a little bit of reluctance in his voice. From that point on, I knew that he really didn’t want to tell me. Gray knew that the news will devastate—frustrate me I mean—most likely. But there was no point in doing that. I know it, anyway.

I wanted to curl up in a ball. I know that the girls were gonna bug me about what I did with Jellal on the concert. And they weren’t gonna stop until I gave them the detailed story as to why I did that with Jellal. Or maybe even tell me to admit that I like Jellal, which is so not happening. I don’t have any feelings for him, anyway, so why would I admit that? Yet. I heard a small voice in my head say. I ignored it and went inside the house.

In an instant, the girls blocked my way. “Hi!” Levy greeted enthusiastically, almost making my heart jump out of my chest. “Come on!” Now, I didn’t like the tone of her voice. It was scaring the life out of me. I didn’t like the feeling I was getting. I knew that we were going to have the talk. Maybe most girls know what that is. It’s a heart-to-heart talk, and it may include romance. And I wasn’t the type who liked stories about romance.

We entered the entertainment room. There, I found the comfortable peach couch that I loved and a small rectangular table with lots of food in it. I then realized that this talk might be for a few hours. It may reach nighttime. Or maybe I’m just stating a hyperbole, but hey, it can happen between groups of friends, you know.

They told me to sit down in what they call ‘The Hot Seat’ where I will be asked. I could feel groups of questions that will hit me later on. I caught a glimpse of Juvia smirking at me. I knew why. I did this to her (along with the girls, of course) when the issue between Gray and her occurred. Think of this as her way of payback. This was my punishment.

Lucy ran to the table, saying that she needed to get some popcorns. She did that in a sing-song manner (with matching ballet steps; she studied ballet when she was five) which indicated that she was feeling hyper and giddy today. I could feel Levy scrutinizing me now which made me uneasy. Wow. They make me feel like I’m an actress in a movie or something.

When Lucy returned, she plopped down on the couch along with the three girls. I gulped, my hands sweating. The girls watched me as I shifted in my seat under their gaze. I guess they were waiting for me to speak up, but of course I wasn’t going to do that. They weren’t my parents to order me around. And besides, what should I tell them? There’s nothing to tell them. It was palpable that I helped Jellal because he’s my friend.
