Loving The Idiots - Fairy Tail [Nalu, Gruvia, Jerza, Gale, Rowen & More!]

Makarov's announcement

Erza

The Guild master had silenced the wizards with a forced cough. His face scrunched into irritation as soon as he took in the mess around him, but he'd stayed silent throughout the surveillance.

After noting each area of the room, he bellowed, "THIS IS THE 40TH TIME ALREADY! WHAT EXCUSE AM I GOING TO MAKE TO THE COUNCIL THIS TIME?"

Natsu and Gray tried to run out of the room, but Makarov held them by their clothes. "YOU'VE EVEN DESTROYED OUTSIDE! I'VE WASTED ALL MY MONEY AND TIME TRYING TO FIX THE MESS YOU MADE YESTERDAY, TOO! YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY!"

I nodded my head in agreement, eyeing the remains of the hall. Mirajane shyly made her way towards the trio, hands knotted beside her back. Lisanna followed just a step behind. The elder had interrupted Makarov with a tap on his shoulder, whispering something into his ear. I craned my head in attempt to hear what they were saying; anything regarding Fairytail was a responsibility I held. 

Noticing hesitation flashing across Makarov's features, I began to head towards the back of the hall. However, I was stopped short as Mirajane swivelled on her heel to face the rest of the wizards. She held a sly, cheeky grin on her face.

"Old man," she said, mimicking Laxus' way of greeting his father. Although she wasn't facing the guild master, the statement she was to make was directed at him. "If you don't agree, I must tell the whole guild about the magazines—".

"Of course, of course!" Makarov blurted out abruptly, a blush on his wrinkled face. "You can commence the plan!" He purposely looked at Lisanna instead of her sister, knowing about the face of triumph scribbled all over Mirajane.

Mirajane, her face full of innocence and beauty, tilted to the side as a silent command to her sister. Lisanna nodded in response, and stepped forward—immediately all eyes were on her. She gulped back a lump of saliva, uncomfortable.

"Well..." She cleared her throat, and tried again, "The wizards listed below are going to attend the Training Camp near the beach resort, an 8 hour drive from Fiore. They are: Mirajane and I, Lucy, Juvia, Natsu, Gajeel, Levy, Gray, Erza, Romeo, Laxus—". Mirajane's eyes widened, but Lisanna didn't seem to notice. "Wendy and Bickslow. "

She paused, eyeing over the list in case she missed anyone out. She then continued brightly, "The van's arriving tomorrow at 7am so you better pack everything today!"

The murmurs and hums began to increase in volume until all were frantic shouts of excitement. Some wizards named on the list had already left the guild hall, probably rushing home to pack. I, however, had more important plans—the cake shop opened in 3 minutes, and I had 80 cupcakes to bring back home for me to devour.

There was hardly anything for me to pack, anyways. My magic enabled me to bring everything anywhere, at whatever time etc. I grinned—that was, I suppose, the highlights of having transformation magic.

As I neared the cake shop, a familiar blue-haired, hooded figure was leaning on the till. In his hand was the most expensive strawberry cake, the only one in the shop at that time. I growled, my footsteps suddenly heavy.

"Jellal," I called, shoving my hand out in expectation for the cake. Who else bought strawberry cakes here?

He turned at my voice, eye glinting. My gaze followed where the cake swung, making sure that he wasn't going to make any careless movements with it. The woman behind the till held a welcoming smile, already expecting my presence for the morning. I'd always come before rush hour.

"What, Scarlet?" He replied sweetly, walking steadily towards me. I reached for the cake, but he tutted and pulled it back.

I licked my lips—a small gesture, but Jellal still seemed to find it amusing. Glaring at him, I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Why are you here, Jellal? Aren't you meant to be with your fiancée?" I exaggerated the sound of the last word, noticing his flinch.

"You're still going to hold that against me, Erza?" He said softly, trying to make eye-contact with me. I looked away.

I heard his sigh, and looked up to see him shaking his head. "I was going to deliver this to your apartment personally, but I was too late. I guess I'll give it to you now, then."

A smile littered my face and I lunged, wrapping my arms around his neck. His breath tingled around my collar bones, and it lingered there for a long moment.

"You're the best, Jellal! I've been trying to save up for that for ages!"

He chuckled against my shoulder. I pulled back, suddenly embarrassed over the close proximity. I could swear that his smile faded slightly.

Exiting the shop, one hand wrapped tightly around the box that held the cake, I turned my head to face Jellal.

"You do know that I'm going on a training camp trip tomorrow, I'm guessing?"

He nodded his head, and opened his mouth as if to say something. He closed it abruptly moments after.

"Say it," I commanded.

"I'll be joining you."

My heart started beating in my ears; the steady badum, badum ringing through the silence. Jellal never joined Fairytail's businesses, whatever the case.

"Why?" I asked, curiosity crawling in my skin.

"Mirajane called me yesterday, saying that you had an accident. I was worried, so I came here... but she was lying. And that I might as well come to the trip with you guys." He looked over his shoulder to watch me, seemingly nervous.

My fists clenched together, nails biting through my skin.

"...Oh."

I noted to myself to strangle Mirajane the moment I next set eyes on her.

Nooo, Erza don't kill Miraaaa! (Mirajane's my favourite Fairytail character haha).

I'm so excited to bring Jerza together—they're the best ship ever... hands down.

I've been thinking of adding other stuff to the fanfic too—such as Facebook chats. Because I want to follow the lives of each character, and surely they have social media? (Okay, not in the anime, but let's just say they do.)

Also there are loads of Fairy Tail Facebook chat stories on Wattpad, and I've been wanting to do that for a long time. So I've decided to put it here as well! But don't worry, another update will come with it too, because chats are short and nothing really happens.

And I really want this fanfic to be great.

Also please bear in mind this story has MATURE content, so if you're 10 and below... you can definitely read chapters without it, but please skip the chapters which has "Mature Content" on the side! (I don't want to ruin your mind, because trust me I had a messed up mind then and it wasn't great). :D

And if I don't finish this A/N now, it'll probably be longer than the chapter itself so bye!!
