Please Dont Go

Chapter 9.

Jellal's P.O.V.
Erza and I threw our luggage into our train cart and climbed in.
I honestly wouldn't imagine just Erza and I going on a mission together. Then it hit me.
I started panicking but, wouldn't let Erza realize I was,
'I was going on a mission with Erza! With nobody else but her!'
I was happy but also very nervous about this. She took her seat on one side of the table, and I took the other. We ordered some food and talked while we rode.

"So Jellal, you and Cana have been talking a lot lately, I never realized you were such good friends."

I shook my head "Cana and I aren't that close, she's just nosey." I finished up and piled my dishes.

She stopped and looked at me.
"Whatever she asked or said she means well, If she's bothering you too much just let her know, she respects others opinions and thoughts."

"Yes. I apologize, that was rude of me."

"It's alright. You meant no harm."

The waiter came by a while later and took our dishes away.

"Jellal?" Erza asked after a while of silence.

"Yes?"

"I don't want to seem nosey or anything, but have you ever dated anybody?"

"I u-um..n-no I havent." I looked down in embarrasement.

She smiled, blushing only slightly, "That's okay, I guess that's both of us."

"Y-yeah I guess." I was shaking, did she know? I knew about..her..but did she know how I felt?

We were on the train for over two hours now, and she passed out in her seat.
I felt like a creep already, but she was so beautiful when she slept.
Her scarlet hair waved back and fourth, It also seemed as if she was smiling.

"Sir." A quiet voice spoke. I looked over and notice one of the workers.

"Yes?"

"These seats can be pulled into bed if your a..." he looked over at Erza.

"Friend." I answered

He nodded "If you're friend would be more confortable."

"She would appreciate that more."

"Alright. She just needs to be out of the seat for a few moments."

I stood up and thought for a minute 'There wouldn't be any other way to do this, besides waking her up.'
I walked over by her seat and slowly, picked her up.
She was surprisingly very light.
I held her in my arms until he was finished seting up the seated-bed.

"It's ready now, sir." He stood up.

"Thank you." I nodded as he bowed and walked off.

I lay Erza down, but a part of me wanted to keep holding her,
So I held her for a few more seconds and set her down, laying a blanket across her.
I smiled down at her.

I removed my jacket and used it as a pillow, laying down on the same bed, but staying a safe distance away.

"Goodnight Erza." I spoke quietly, and fell asleep.

[It's short I know >~< but also pretty adorable, if I do say so myself. Gn]
