Erza (POV)
It's been a couple days since we've come back from Edolas. As much as thought things we're going to calm down, I was wrong as solo mission season was underway because of the upcoming S class trials. Right now I'm on the guild hall enjoying a slice of strawberry cake and watching all the commotion happen.
Erza *mind*- Would you look at them come and go. All of them are trying so hard to become contenders for the S class trials. It's makes me proud. Although, there is one person I haven't seen much. Seth. Matter of fact, I haven't seen him since the day we reintroduced Lisanna back into the guild, I need to see him.
I finish my cake and head out to Seth's apartment.

I reach Seth's apartment and knock.
Erza- Seth I'm coming in.
No answer.
I use the key he gave me and I open the door. I see tons of empty potion bottles littered across the living room floor, tons a paper on the couch, and an investigation board with lots of pictures on it places where his tv once stood. I hear a flushing sound come from his bathroom in his room and he soon comes out a minute or two later.

Seth- Oh hey Erza.
Erza- Don't hey me mister. You go off and disappear for days without even trying to contact the guild or me. Then I come to your apartment to find it trashed.
Seth- Oh really? It's been days already? Well I haven't slept at all since we've got back here so..........yeah.
Erza- Seth Alighieri, to bed now, I'll join you for a little nap in a bit after I tidy up the place a little.
Seth- Wait no! Leave everything as it is. I don't want you messing up my Orion board.
Erza- Hey didn't I promise we'd find you mom and master together? I don't go back on my word.
Seth- Well now you only have to help me find my mom cause I found Orion in the woods a couple days ago.
Erza- Really?!!
Seth- Yep.
Erza- That's great!
Seth- Yeah but he only said he was proud of me then vanished. That's why I set up this board. He couldn't have gone far. I even climbed to the top of the church to scan all of Magnolia for him but with no luck. I'm worried you know? I just have this gut feeling of something bad. It's either that or the spicy food I had earlier.
His stomach makes a noise and he grabs it.
Seth- Definitely the spicy food!
He runs to the bathroom to do his business and I tidy up the place. He eventually comes out spraying some smell nullification magic spray.
Seth- Hey, what happened to all my stuff?
Erza- Seth, please sit on the couch next to me.
He does as I say and he's now right next to me on his couch.
Erza- (holds both of Seth's hands) Listen, I'm really happy that you found Orion and I'm also sad that he disappeared like that. I promise we will find him again but what you're doing is not the way to go about this. I mean just look at you. You have bags under your eyes, your hair is messy, I can see dirty clothes piling up in your hamper from here.
I let go of one of his hands and place my free hand on the side of his face.
Erza- You really need to take care of yourself. And you can start by getting some sleep. After that, I'll help you clean your place up. I'm gonna stay with you the entire day today.
Seth- (yawns)- Okay, you win.
I smile and I guide him to his room and lay him down in bed. I change into some comfortable pajamas using my magic and I lay next to him.

After awhile, he's still struggling to sleep.
Erza- Here, let me help you.
I move him closer to me and I lay his head on my chest and wrap my arms around him to bring him closer.
Erza- (blushing) Better?
Seth- (blushing) Uh yeah.
He wraps his arms around me and within a few moments, he's fast asleep. I begin to play with his hair and smile.
Erza *mind*- Seth you adorable idiot, never change. Stay by my side. Let's be together and stay together forever.
I kiss his forehead and I close my eyes and drift to sleep.
Indigo: That's the end of this one. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. Later indigo fam. Peace.
