Love At War | JeRza

Chapter Eighteen

~Happy Valentines Day!~
~❤️~

Third Person P.O.V.
The next day, they made up. That's what's good about having best friends, fights don't last that long. Or in Gray and Juvia's case; lovers. Today, they will venture into the forest, looking for clues. Except, Meredy couldn't go, she wanted to watch over Erza.

"Let's see," Rogue enters the cave they were in when Erza fell ill and Jellal fell in love. Everyone else, including Juvia, walk in and look around. Rogue runs his fingers on the side of the tomb, "this is where she fell ill?"

Jellal nods and looks around, "all we need are clues... If only we could understand what Erza has said." Suddenly, Jellal's head began hurting. He hears pounding and then laughing. He turns around, obviously startled.

Gajeel and Wendy giggle at him. "You're so dumb, honestly." Ultear speaks into his mind. Jellal smiles and pretends as if nothing happened. "She spoke backwards, duh. I'm here in the forest, Jellal-"

"Ultear!?" Jellal calls. Natsu and Gray shake their heads, "I know where we need to go, guys!"

"Umm, okay? So yelling Ultear's name makes you smarter!?" Natsu says thoughtfully. He sighs and takes a deep breath before yelling, "ULTEAR! Show me how to beat Gildarts and..." He whispers, "how to make Lucy have feelings for me."

"I DON'T WORK THAT WAY!" Lucy exclaims, blushing very red. Natsu laughs and shakes his head. Gray elbows him to look up at Lucy. Natsu looks up at Lucy and sees the red on her cheeks. She looks away and buries her face in her hands.

"I-I was just kidding!" Natsu reassures. Gajeel rolls his eyes.

"Sure," everyone, and I mean everyone, roll their eyes and laugh. He blushes in embarrassment.

"Cheer up, bud, you know today's Valentine's Day." Sting wiggles his eyebrows and elbows the salmon haired Mage. Natsu yells at Sting as Lucy hides in the corner. Juvia lets out a chuckle.

"You're all so lively, Juvia feels so happy!" She stops laughing and stares at Gray as he laughs, "today is Valentine's...?" She blushes and grabs Gray's hand, "we're gonna go, we need some time alone!"

"W-what!?" Gray blushes.

"OOOOoooooOooOoOooooOooooooooooooOOOOO!" Wendy laughs. Laxus grins and walks to her. He bends down and gives her a evil grin. "W-what?" She backs away, knowing that he has some dirt on her.

"So you're making fun of another couple, huh?" He wiggles his eyebrows and stands up. "Everyone," everyone looks at him, "this little girl was 'hanging out' with Romeo of Fiore." 

"WENDY!" Lucy exclaims.

"LAXUS, WHY!?" Wendy exclaims.

"Wendy?" Gajeel laughs, "gihihi, and I thought we knew each other." He winks causing her to shriek.

"Pfftt, Wendy's too young to be hanging around boys. Who does think he is?" Rogue spits out.

"WENDY, WHAT!?" Sting and Jellal yell in unison.

Laxus laughs uncontrollably as Natsu's jaw drops. "YOU LIKE ROMEO!? HOLY SHIT!" Natsu laughs.
