Good Meets Bad

Chapter Fourteen:About us

"I'm sorry that I love you."And the door burst open.Lucy stumbled backwards as the door was suddenly opened. Jellal ran to her and hugged Lucy from the back tightly, stopping her from falling. Her eyes widened, feeling the bluenette's breath on her neck.

Her tears continued to slide down her cheeks, with Jellal's hand wiping them away after, "D-Damn you..." The bluenette whispered with gritted teeth, burying his face deeper into her hair.The blonde inhaled sharply,

"L-Let me go..."

"No..."

Lucy closed her eyes shut painfully, her teeth grinding against each other as she lowered her head, "B-But I lied to you... I b-betrayed you all..."

"That's right," Jellal whispered against her skin, "You betrayed us and yet you ran after me. Just what are you after, really? Now that I'm here and talking to you, you're pushing me away," He let out an unfinished laugh, "You really are confusing, Heartfilia."The said woman bit her lip and she produced a shaky breath,

"I... I'm sorry."

"For what?" Jellal mumbled, closing his eyes as he leaned his cheek against the soft skin on the back of her neck.Lucy licked her lips, sensing another round of tears coming,

"F-For lying... f-for being a c-complete t-traitor," She sniffed, "I-I'm sorry..."

The bluenette laughed softly and he hummed, tilting Lucy's chin upwards from behind, "Prove it to me."The blonde's eyes tried to catch a glimpse of him from the back but she couldn't see him. Instead, she released a somewhat irritated sigh,

"P-Prove you what?"

"That you're sorry."

Lucy's eyes widened, "Haa? Why?"

"Do you want me to forgive you or not?" Jellal asked vexingly. He knew he wasn't acting like himself but he was somehow amused and a little happy. How could he not be? The love of his life loved him back.The blonde slowly looked over her shoulder, giving Jellal a look of uncertainty. Despite the fact that he knew she was hesitant, the bluenette just smiled gently and nodded. After a few minutes of Lucy debating in her mind, she slowly tilted her head and gave him a long peck on the lips.Surprised, Jellal's arms unwrapped themselves from Lucy's body and his cheeks flamed red. As the blonde leaned back, she was immediately pushed against the wall, with Jellal arms on each side of her face. The woman was about to complain about her back when her lips were silenced by his. Flabbergasted, Lucy could only close her eyes as the bluenette's lips caressed hers.Slowly, but surely, the blonde's arms wrapped around Jellal's neck as she pushed Jellal's head gently towards her, deepening the kiss. Lucy opened her mouth and Jellal's tongue invaded her cavern. Without a slight twinge of doubt, her tongue wrapped around his and they began to fight for dominance.Never have Lucy felt this happy before.

She couldn't express how blissful she felt. A hundred words could never describe the contentment in her heart for her love was kissing her back and they loved each other. Though, he never did say that he did, his actions were already obvious.Due to the lack of oxygen, the two leaned back, a trail of saliva connecting their lips. They both panted, cheeks flushed and eyes filled with love for the other party. Lucy laughed suddenly, her cheeks reddening even more,

"Damn it, I l-love you."

Jellal laughed as well and he grinned, leaning his forehead against hers,

"I love you too, Lucy."

The blonde pursed her lips and she smiled meekly, giving Jellal another peck on the lips as she released a relieved sigh against his lips, "You know, this won't last forever," Lucy mumbled against his lips, "I still have my gang and people are still after me."

"Forget about them," Jellal mumbled back, "Just please... don't kill me in my sleep."

Lucy laughed and she grinned, "Hnn, that's a nice suggestion."

"What the heck?"

The blonde released another round of laughter, "I was kidding, as if I can kill the man I love."

"I'm still mad at you though, to think I fell in love with a liar," The bluenette said, sighing, "And to think that she was the daughter of the woman who branded me and Reina. Just what was I thinking?"

Lucy's lip quivered in guilt, "I-I don't know..."

"I didn't think that you even had the guts to even poison us. Sure, I saw you as a complete delinquent but it never came to me that you'd kill us all. I was... taken back," Jellal said and he smiled wryly, "I must have been out of my mind since I fell in love with you. I need to visit the doctor sometime this week."

Lucy went silent, his words sinking in. Her heart ached painfully and she frowned, "I... I'm sorry."

"I won't forgive you," The bluenette said, smiling sadly, "You nearly put my sister in danger, you nearly killed us all and for that, I cannot bring myself to accept your apology."

That broke her heart, yet, she knew that there was a catch."However, I don't regret ever falling in love with you."

Lucy blinked and she laughed, kissing Jellal once again."Thank you."
