The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 12

•Lucy's POV•

I started to walk with Natsu over to the table full of cooking utensils. Natsu jogged over to the table leaving me in the dust and suddenly I was pulled back by Erza. I was seriously taken by surprise when Erza pulled me into the supply closet. Was she really going to eliminate the completion which is me. I really hope Erza wouldn't do something like that, but Jellal's involved so I don't know how this is going to go.

   "I need you to do me a favor." Erza stated. Erza looked a bit nervous but I brushed it off. Why would she need a favor from me? Erza always seemed like she would never need a favor from anyone.

   "What do you need from me?" I asked. Erza chuckled nervously and started to fidget with the bottom of her skirt.

"I-I need you to lose." Erza gulped. What? I can't lose. Natsu would have a huge hissy fit if we lost the bed for the night. Why would she need me to lose anyways? Maybe she really wants to share that bed with Jellal.

   "Why?" I questioned. Erza unconsciously took out her sword and was pointing it at my chest.

   "You get to share the bed with Natsu every night right?" Erza asked. I have no idea why I was getting so flustered over her one question. I felt my face turn red, why did I blush? I really confuse myself sometimes.

   "Y-Yeah you could say that." I stuttered. Don't mistake the stuttering for embarrassment, it's because Erza just pushed the sword closer to me. I tried to push the sword away slowly except Erza had a very firm grip onto the sword. Oh my cheese and crackers how did I get in this situation. I ask myself that question every day of my life.

   "Could you please distract Natsu so I could win the wager." Erza smiled. That's the Erza I know, the super scary one. Erza pushed the sword up so it was under my chin, did she even know what she was doing. I tried to take a step back except I didn't want to alert her.

"And why should I do that Erza?" I teased. I knew exactly why she wanted me to forfeit. Erza was just so fun to mess with, she had a weak spot for Jellal. I think they know each other's feelings but are too scared to say anything. Erza pulled the sword away and blabbered something that consisted of;

   "Jellal." and "Say a thing and I will end you."

   "I want to share the bed with Jellal," Erza smiled. "I feel like an idiot for asking you that, but before my parents passed away at a young age, they always told be to save myself until marriage. And in their eyes, that meant I not share a bed with a man until after wed lock."

   "I'll do it." I chuckled. Erza looked at me in shock. I wanted to laugh some more but that would be mean. Erza was a very sensitive person when it came to her love life, as in Jellal. I kind of wonder if Natsu has ever been in love before, that would be something interesting to see.

I always wanted to know what it felt like to be in love, I never got the chance to have a relationship. I know this might sound weird, which according to Natsu I'm already weird, but I feel something for Natsu. I think I'm f-

   "Really!" Erza exclaimed cheerfully. Erza snapped me out of my thoughts when she pulled me into a bone crushing hug. My head made a Clang! sound when it came in contact with her armor. I think it's nice when Erza shows affection but she didn't have to give me a headache in the process.

   "Yeah," I smirked. "You and Jellal and be together tonight." I started to cackle until I felt a chill behind me back. I turned around to see Jellal himself. I shrieked in surprise because Jellal looked ultra scary. His eyebrows were shaped different, they were thinner and had an arch.

   "Will you please tell Natsu to stop drawing on my forehead." Jellal groaned. Jellal looked so angry. I wanted to laugh so hard, I couldn't though. Erza had me head in a headlock. I was couldn't breathe.
