Chapter XXV
By the time that Meredy, Ultear and I got back to the Campus, it was dark. The sky was inked with the deepest hue of azure, stars twinkling overhead.
"What would happen if the stars disappeared," I whispered to no one in particular; Meredy and Ultear heard me but said nothing.
I bet they think I'm some kind of teenage girl going through heartbreak. That's exactly how I feel... And I hate it.
"It's nice, isn't it?" Meredy piped up, "You don't feel alone. Not with so many stars up ahead." she sighed.
I only grinned, "You've been hanging around Juvia too much. Has she been giving you stalker classes?"
Ultear put her hand to her mouth, chuckling into it, while I was chased by the young pink-head. All the way back to my dorm.
"Guess this is it, for today." I smiled. My eyes scanned the gold-plated Seven besides the mahogany door, "See you guys... If I survive."
They gave me smirks, like Cheshire cats.
"Oh, don't worry. That guy has a heck of a drive, but I don't think he has that much stamina-"
"Shut up!" Color flooded my cheeks, and I literally closed the doors in their faces. Locking it softly, I leaned back, taking deep breaths, so I would calm down.
I suck at breathing. Shoot, I suck at the only thing I probably do.
"I never asked them why they were being so nice... Must be because of their "plan"." I said. The dorm was much quieter, now that Jellal and I weren't on talking-terms. My wound had started to heal. I had always been a quick-healer*.
Striding to the kitchen, I put on a toast and waited on the island. It looked polished, almost new again. Stirring memories.
~~~
"Dude." I walked near him, cautiously, as he was in the act of flipping another one of his 'creations'. "Did you personally murder someone to get the batter?"
Jellal snorted, and ran a hand through his azure locks, "Pffff- No. That'd be too much work for someone as awesome as-"
I dead-panned as he flipped the pancake straight onto his face, and raced towards the sink to wash it off.
"Ahhh~ And I heard that you were one of the best student-chef 'round here, Fernandes." I couldn't help but chortle as I saw him trip over a stray pan; Laying in wait to catch an off-guard, wild bluenette.
"Oh-ho-ho, Let's see who's laughing now, shall we?" He reached out his arm and grabbed my foot.
I yelped and landed on the floor next to him, as he hugged me from behind. "Haha- The look on your face! If someone had a camera-"
"Oh yeah?" Controlled by reflex, I kicked his shin and got up. An evil plan brewing in my mind as I headed for the container with flour.
Coughing as I unscrewed the lid, I raised an eyebrow at Jellal, "'Sure this is Flou-"
"Flour?" He rubbed his eyes frantically, trying to get away from me, even though he was obviously in no position to get up off the floor, "No! Stop!"
With a laugh, I dumped a quarter of it onto his aquamarine hair- Or should I say ex-aquamarine hair.
"Nuuuuuuu~" He rolled around on the floor like a toddler, "You've killed me! Help! Somebody!" Jellal squealed.
~~~
A sharp headache struck through my head, like a dagger piercing butter. I clutched my forehead, gritting my teeth, moaning slightly. Another memory was coming up... something- something that I didn't remember had ever happened.
~~~
"You've been seeing him! You have, haven't you!" the man growled, baring his teeth at me, as I was cornered, my back to the fridge.
"No! I swear," I whispered, pathetically. My eyes watered, dripping down my cheek. Both of my eyes...
"Hah! Hah, you lie very well," he came closer to me, "You'd be a good actress since you're so pretty."
I flinched away as he tried to grab my hair. "N-no, stay away!"
"Oh, I think you need to be taught a lesson, sweety," he said, walking closer to me. Step-by-step. I further pressed my back to the fridge.
The man fished out a handkerchief, "Oh, my. Then, what's this? Another one of his worthless love letters, treasured away in your room?!"
I gasped, "No! That's not mine! I swear to Mavis."
But it was too late, the butter knife came hurling at-
~~~
"Go to sleep, you baka!"
I jerked awake, blinking my eyes to focus on him. "Jellal? What- Hi." I lamely finished my sentence.
He rolled his eyes, "Look. This whole 'I-wont-talk-to-you' thing's a bit hard; with us living together, and all."
"I- I can't deny the fact I'm worried about you." He said, softly. Before going back to his room, he whispered, "Go to sleep. You don't want to be looking like a badger, tomorrow, Erza."
I put my forehead to the cool granite of the island table, "Oh, the only badger here is you, Blueberry."
"Good night, Jellal."
