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

Falling under

Before you start reading this chapter, I'm warning you I have no idea what I'm going to write about. It's crazy! I've been making drafts and all that, but they're all so horrible... So please, read at your own risk! (I'm not ready for this either, haha).

Jellal

I flinched as Mira grabbed Gajeel by his shirt, one of her hands clenched at her side. Levy was sitting quietly on the sofa, looking down onto the floor with her bangs shading over her eyes. The others glanced between the contact made in the middle of the room, unsure of how to respond. After all, the ex-model had ordered us to have a "little chat about our behaviour".

"Gajeel! I can't believe you destroyed the rollar coaster ride—," Mira began, a vein popping on her forehead.

Natsu cut in immediately, "He destroyed it? Hell yeah, I'm gonna try too!" Happy flung out his wings, ready for their depart. Quickly and with a violent gesture, Erza pulled them back into the spot they once were before. Everyone else looked confused, wondering whether they should focus their attention on Mira or Erza. Both mages were of S-Class (powerful wizards) and would certainly make a show.

"I have to pay 8000000 Jewels to fix the damage!" Mira roared, concluding the reason why she was upset. Letting go of Gajeel, she dropped onto her knees. "I'm so bankrupt. So, so bankrupt," she seemed to be mumbling. "What is Master Makarov going to say to this?"

Lucy gasped, "8 million Jewels?! We can't afford that!"

Mira looked up, an evil glint in her eye. "We could... If we raise money," she tapped her chin in deep thought. "I know!" She suddenly blurted out. "We'll organise a couple week!"

Sighs escaped everyone's mouths. "Can't we do something else?" Gajeel complained, but silenced himself when Mira stabbed him with her glare.

"It's your fault we're in this situation, Gajeel," she warned, throwing a strand of her white hair behind her shoulder. Taking a look at Levy, she grinned, "but this couple week doesn't sound like a bad idea if I do say so myself."

Laxus crossed his arms over his muscular chest. "That's because you thought of it, Mira. So whatever you say will sound good to yourself," he stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Shouldn't we have a vote?" I commented, looking around me at all the displeased faces.

Mira looked shocked and hurt by my suggestion. "A vote, you say?" I nodded in response, but awkwardly gave a cough when there was an elongated pause. "I'm the matchmaker," she reminded everyone, "so I get to make my decisions here!"

"Yeah, yeah," Laxus grumbled.

"Ahhh, a whole week with Gray-sama!" Juvia swooned, taking advantage of Gray's outstretched hand and rubbed his skin against her cheek. Gray jumped backwards and nearly flew out of the window. "Juvia cannot believe her luck!"

Mira smiled at the only positive response she achieved. Content, she helped herself to her room, humming to herself. As soon as the door slammed shut, everyone began speaking at once. Lisanna, who hadn't said anything to Mira's plans, gave a worried glance to everyone as to what she was planning. Erza slashed her sword in the air whenever someone mentioned "Couple Week"—I gave a chuckle when I realised this was the only moment where she didn't get her way.

Happy flew towards my feet, looking up with pleading eyes. "Jellal, remember you promised to go fishing with me?"

I smiled down at him, "Yes, Erza said she'll be coming too."

"E-Erza?" He stuttered, green covering his blue features, "Erza can't do fishing!"

"Of course I can, Happy. Don't underestimate me." Erza came trotting down to us both, in her usual attire. Her red hair tied in a pony tail twirled from side to side, a hair not out of place.

Happy looked as if he'd been shot by lightning, "I never said that!" Erza raised an eyebrow at his lie, but didn't say anything to contradict him. She opened her mouth to tell the group where she was going, but sighed at the sound of crashing chairs and an argument Natsu and Gray had commenced. Lucy called for Natsu to stop, but her voice was only a small sound she created. Giving up, she sat back down with Levy, who was no doubt talking about books.

"Okay, let's go!" Happy announced, standing by the side of the door as Erza flung the door open.

A fisherman beamed at the sight of us—probably his only visitors. "Welcome, welcome! Welcome to fishing! Shall I teach you the basics?"

"No," Erza shook her head, "I'm very good at fishing. There's no need for a tutorial." I gave a weak smile to the fisherman who looked disappointed at her response. He began to attach food on the edge of the fishing rod and threw it far away.

We took this as a sign to head inside the large gates. Picking up fishing rods from the sides, we sat down on the edge of the lake and opened a bag of food to lure in the fish. We firstly tied the hook onto the end of the line, and then attached the weights. With the food, we added it for bait.

"Erza! You really can't fish!" Happy exclaimed as he watched Erza try to untangle her line. She gave him a glare and Happy shivered.

Something tugged at the end of my line. Pulling out the weight from underneath, I groaned as I placed it into a bucket next to me. Both Erza and Happy watched in awe at my skill of fishing.

"How did you do that?" Erza commanded, jamming her line into the lake. She tapped her fingers onto the ground next to her, waiting impatiently. "My rod's broken," she said as she watched me fill my bucket with fish.

Happy had caught 10 in the last 15 minutes we had arrived there. Erza, on the other hand, had caught none. I chuckled at her failures. "You said you were good at fishing," I teased, though not scared by the dangerous glance she gave me. "Here, let me help."

I heard Erza suck in a breath as I placed my hands on top of her cold fingers. "I feel something!" She cried as a heavy weight came from underneath.

"No, I don't think that's a fi—!"

She tugged on the rod vehemently, though the creature in the lake was stronger. It pulled us into the lake, and we crashed underneath the surface of the water.

"Erza! Jellal! I'll call for help!" Happy shouted from above. We both kicked and struggled, though weed clung onto our bodies. Gripping Erza by the waist, I used some of my magic to shoot us back up. Happy had already disappeared.

Erza was choking up water. I leaned over her and felt for her forehead; it was warm and feverish. "Erza we need to get you back inside."

She clutched my arm weakly, her eyes opening and closing tirelessly. Her body didn't struggle as I wrapped my arms around her back and carried her back into her room. The creature underneath... It wasn't ordinary. Erza couldn't have caught a fever from just cold water. Blaming it on just being unlucky, I covered her up with her blankets and stroked her hair. Scarlet.
