Thanks to those whom have read my story and enjoyed it :D because after all I'm writing this for you guys! 

No matter how hard he'd tried the mental image of Erza's fearful face would not disappear, life wasn't damn fair.

He let out a small sigh before allowing his head to rest against the shower wall, droplets of water sliding off his cerulean colored hair, he shook his head a few times attempting to get rid of unwanted water before exiting the shower and encircling a towel around his waist.

He peeked out of the bathroom door to find Erza had disappeared, he arched an eyebrow and got dressed in record time bolting out of the room

.....no.

This had seemed all to familiar, had she left just like the last one had?

"LUCY! ERZA'S GONE!" he screeched, as he barged into her room, only to find Lucy staring back at him holding up a nightgown in front of a half naked half shocked Erza. He stared at Erza with wide eyes, and found it quite hard to focus on her face. He flushed as he found himself stripping her with his eyes, this did not go unnoticed by Erza, as she grabbed for the nightgown, and averted her eyes.

Jellal bolted out of the door once more and crawled into his own bed, taking his mind off Erza. It hadn't helped when Erza walked into the room in an awkward manner, crawling under the sheets leaving quite a distance between them, curling her body in the opposite direction.

He stared at her for a moment and found how his body was aching for her warmth, he desperately wanted to run his fingers through her long, scarlet hair and keep her close, close enough so that he could intake her scent.

"Erza?" He whispered, listening for any signs of movement or sound, and found none. That's when he inched closer to her wrapping his arm's around her, pulling her close, gingerly picking at a lock of scarlet hair and twirling it around his fingers.

"Please don't be afraid of me, I.. don't want you to disappear, don't leave me all alone." He mumbled quietly, entranced by the hair around his fingers.

"Your beautiful, I deeply care about you. I don't want to love you, You'll leave me if I love you, So don't make me love you. I'm scared Erza, I'm scared of love." He whispered into her ears sleepily, stroking her head, until his half lidded eyes dropped.

"I'm so sorry." She mumbled, tears welling in her eyes at his pure honesty, slowly turning her body to face his, trudging closer to him till she was against his chest, just brushing her lips against his.

She finally understood the meaning behind his steely eyes. Fear.

The morning air had infiltrated the room, awakening Jellal. He looked downwards finding Erza's face pressed against his chest, traces of tear tracks against her face, giving him the sudden urge to wipe them away, a small smile making its way towards his lips. He wanted to stay like this, with her.

Right on cue Lucy ran into the room, not in her usual maid attire but a stunning pink dress, tray's of breakfast pooling into their bedroom, followed by racks of clothing.

"UP!UP!UP! HOW LONG DO YOU INTEND TO STAY IN BED? HADN'T YOU TWO HAD ENOUGH FUN LAST NIGHT?" Lucy complained, pushing tray's of food in front of the two, awakened by Lucy's loud voice, Erza sat up rubbing her eyes, blushing as she met Jellal's eyes.

"what's the occasion?" Jellal questioned.

"Jellal?! Have you forgotten what day it is today?" Lucy exclaimed, widening her eyes. Jellal let his jaw go slack before hopping out of bed.

"Get Erza ready, how much time, an hour?" Jellal confirmed.

"About an hour and I'll get right on it sir!" Lucy stated before yanking Erza out of bed, and rushing her into the bathroom.

"Wai-"

"NO. TIME, HE'S GOING TO BE HERE IN AN HOUR!" Lucy shrieked, throwing Erza into the bathtub.

"Who? Your boyfriend?" Erza questioned, still grouchy from being woken up in such a way. A mental image of a pink haired man flashed through her mind, causing Lucy to turn a shade of red.

"No!...Well yes!..GAHHH. Stop wasting precious time!" Lucy threw her arms in the air dashing out of the door.

hoo. Boy.. This was going to be one hell of a day.
