A Royal Mess With Magic | Jerza Fanfic (UNDER EDITING)

My Heartbeat

Jellal's P.O.V

~Jellal's Dream~

I awoke drifting in the sea. Well more like under the sea, but, I had no trouble breathing.

It was so peaceful. As I tried to move I heard her voice.

"Jellal?" She was calling my name. "Is that really you?"

I turned around to face her. She wore that same beautiful white dress from our first night in the forest, with the exception that she wasn't wearing shoes or a jacket. My eyes grew wide as I saw her face. Her eyes shined with tears but no matter, she kept smiling. It was beautiful.

I heard my heart beat louder within my ears. I took a step toward her and she came running to me.

"Erza?" I exclaimed in shock as she hugged me.

At this point it felt so good I forgot what I was going to say. All I did was wrap my arms around her.

Eventually at some point we sat down. I don't know how since we couldn't even see the ocean floor.

I rested my head on her shoulder. I felt her fingers intertwine with my hair as she played with it. After awhile she stopped and just rested her hand on my head. I smiled and fell asleep there.

But as I fell asleep there I knew I would wake up in the real world.

~End Of Dream~

I slowly opened my eyes and internally I prayed that I wouldn't be able to wake up. So then I could just go back to that dream.

I heard a knock on my door. It's probably Aries, I thought. But someone entirely different entered my room.

"Hey, did I wake you?" She whispered.

"No, I awoke right before you came," I whispered sitting up.

"Oh good." She sighed with relief. With that she entered my room. I thought she might switch the light on but she didn't. Not only that, but she was still in her silk pajama's as well.

"What time is it?" I asked. She giggled softly before pointing toward the clock on the wall.

The clock read 2:30 am. I almost jumped out my skin. How could she be up this early?!

"I just awoke. Since you're a king I figured you'd be up by now as well." She whispered.

"I hate it when you read my mind." I sighed. But really, I'm positive I lied. In fact it was actually amusing when she read my mind.

"No you don't! You're a terrible liar!" She said tossing a pillow at my face.

I dodged it just in time then turned my head to watch it hit the wall.

"How do you know?!" I said tossing a pillow at her.

"Because, when you lie your face becomes red and your speach slurs." She laughed as she caught the pillow I threw at her.

"Really?!"

"Yup!"

"So that's how everyone knows that I lie?" I asked to no one particular.

While I was talking to myself she took advantage of it and tossed a pillow at me; knocking me over then off the bed.

"That's it!" I said, jumping up and tossing a pillow at her. She was  laughing so much that she wasn't able to catch it this time.

After that we tossed each other with pillows. I knew we looked like children and I knew we had to stop but I also knew neither of us cared or wanted to stop.

At some point we were running around my room still tossing pillows at one another. There were so many pillows and feathers everywhere.

Then just as she was about to throw me with one she tripped over another pillow. As she fell she managed to grab hold of my shirt dragging me down with her.

As I fell I turned around to look at her but I'm sure that was a mistake.

We landed on the floor, our faces just mere inches from one another. Her beautiful chocolate brown eyes fell on mine and I felt my face heat up. I noticed the slight blush on her face as well.

Silence engulfed the room. We sat back up both of our faces a bright red.

I looked back at the clock on the wall. I saw the time was 5:54; we were acting like children for three hours. That was insane.

"I-I'm sorry." She stammered.

"It's not your fault." I smiled. Then, in the back of my mind, something clicked.

It was thought and said by so many before but... I wish things could stay like this, like moments like this could last forever.

Honestly, Erza makes me happy. A different kind of happy that I've never felt before. If it's true than I might just be falling in love.

Love... The word echoed throughout my mind. I closed my eyes thinking about it. Then when I opened them again a hand was in front of my face.

I looked up and saw a sweet, serene smile on her face.

With a little more light pouring through the window, I now noticed the silk night dress she was wearing, was quite short exposing her thighs. It also exposed a large part of her chest and I forced myself to look away before any thoughts entered my mind.

I took her hand and she pulled me off the floor in one swift motion.

"I should probably get back to my room," she said with a hint of sadness in her smile, however it vanished so quickly I thought I might have imagined it. "You get ready. I'm training with the gaurds today as well."

Oh boy! The solo training I've endured with her for the last month and a half was insane, now she'll be even more competetive because of more competition. I'm doomed!

She left the room and I looked around me. There were pillows and feathers everwhere.

"Ahhhg! Erza!" I growled loudly.

I started cleaning up the mess and was just about finished when Aries came in.

Narrator

Jellal may have thought he complained to himself after Erza left, but what he didn't know was that the redhead was right outside, leaning against, his door. She smiled as she heard him say her name.

Then she raised both her hands over her heart and formed fists with them. She felt her pulse. Her heart was racing.

As she walked back to her room she thought, I'm not sure but I think I might just be falling in love.
