Ch. 36: The Circle of Eight Back Together (For those who couldn't read the title of the chapter fully :))

{Jellal’s POV}

“Come on.” Gajeel groaned after Erza had dared him to sit on Levy’s lap. Levy was blushing furiously. “Please. I don’t want to do this.† He pleaded, though Erza just shook her head. I feel like I’ve seen this scene before. Oh wait. Yeah. When Gajeel and Levy fought with each other.

“A dare is a dare. Be a man and do it!” She ordered.

I looked up and saw Lucy’s bedroom. The lights were still open, meaning she was still awake. What could she be doing right now? Why did she walk out like that? Speaking of why... I turned to Natsu, who seemed to be enjoying himself.

“Should I call on Lucy?” I spoke as their noise died down.

“I guess...” Natsu answered and we all looked at him. A round of teasing was what he witnessed as he glared at each of one of us. “You malicious guys...” He murmured.

“We couldn’t help it.” I said, laughing. An idea popped into my mind. “Since you were the one who answered, why don’t you be the one to call Lucy?” It was the perfect idea. Erza and I did a bro-fist. Gajeel looked relieved. Not for long, though.

“Since you were the one who suggested it, why don’t you be the one to call her?” He flicked back the question to me. He did a nice job, but too bad, I was smarter than him.

“No, you should be the one to call her because she’s your bestfriend. Besides, I’m not that close to her to begin with.” I smirked as the seven of them shouted “Ohh, burn!”

He rolled his eyes. “All right, since you insist.” For the last time, he glared at me before leaving.

“Now, going back to Gajeel...”

“Thanks for reminding me, Jellal.” I bowed to Erza. “Sit on her lap.”

Gajeel tried to find an excuse. “I’m heavy. She’ll just push me off.” He pointed to Levy. “Her bones might get broken.” We all laughed at his excuse. He’s bad at reasoning.

“Y-Yeah!”

“Levy doesn’t seem to agree, though!” Natsu laughed as everyone did. Levy’s face was all red like her neck. Gajeel rolled his eyes.

“Okay then, we wouldn’t force you to sit on her lap. You might really crush her bones.” Erza guffawed.

“Let’s—”

„If I were just stronger than you, I would’ve kicked your a**. I should’ve studied martial arts, dammit!” Natsu held Lucy, his face showing the replica of boredom. Lucy struggled with all her might but to her disappointment, she couldn’t break free. “I wish I was a boy.“ Lucy grunted.

“Sit down, little girl.” Juvia said, eyeing Lucy.

“What are we gonna do now?” Gray questioned. “We didn’t want Lucy screaming here without a reason, am I right?” Lucy shot him daggers. “Come on, before she screams again.”

“Speak and I’ll cut your throat, Gray Fullbuster.” Lucy deadpanned.

“She’s like a monster.” Juvia commented, trembling.

“To ease the tension between us, why don’t we have a little story-telling?” I chimed in with a suggestive tone. “Four of us had fought for the past few days and months. I think it’s time to change that.”

“And those four are namely...?”

“All of us were fighting to clear it up.” Lucy sat down. She looked at Zeref and Mavis. “Except for those two, apparently.” We all nodded.
