"So let me get this straight, somehow, your brother Siegrain snuck into the school pretending to be you to try to get you and Erza together. He kissed Erza, but it failed because you appeared. You punched Siegrain, then Erza broke his nose and his balls," Principal Makarov relayed the story as the ambulance carrying Siegrain sped away to the nearest hospital, the whooping of the siren growing faint.
"Yeah," Jellal agreed to that story.
"And he told you his idea before, but you told him not to do it?" Principal Makarov continued.
"Yes," Jellal agreed.
"And Erza, you broke Siegrain's nose and his chances at having children because he kissed you under the guise of being Jellal?" Principal Makarov asked Erza.
"Yes," Erza answered.
"And what will happen to Siegrain now, Jellal?" Principal Makarov changed the question.
"Uhm, he'd get kicked out of Tower of Heaven. And grounded. And forced to go to a new school," Jellal thought of the punishments that would occurred.
"He goes to Tower of Heaven, you say?" Principal Makarov received new information.
"Yes," Jellal answered.
Principal Makarov was silent before coming to a decision, "You two are free to go."
"What?" Jellal and Erza exclaimed at the same time, expecting some sort of punishment.
"I don't like Tower of Heaven," Master Makarov replied. "And Siegrain seems like a dick anyways. It was his fault after all. You two can go to fifth hour now."
"Oh-okay," Jellal stuttered. "Thank-you."
"Thank-you Principal Makarov," Erza thanked the principal.
"Also," Principal Makarov had one last thing to say. "Get together already! Everyone can see it."
Jellal and Erza began to blush.
"Dismissed," Principal Makarov hopped off the chair he was standing on to go and do some other principal business. "I said dismissed."
Jellal and Erza walked out of the office, a bit shocked that they got off free and that the principal told them to get together.
"Are you okay?" Jellal asked Erza. "I'm sorry Siegrain had to dupe you. I told him not to."
"I'm fine," Erza replied. "And he'll know not to do it again."
"Right," Jellal agreed.
They didn't move. They probably should have gone off to their fifth hour classes, but they seemed stuck in the same place because it felt that there was something else that had to be said.
"So, uhm," Jellal began. "Do you wanna go on a date? Without fire, dancing, and it being set up by our friends?"
"Yes," Erza answered. "That sounds great."
"Okay," Jellal smiled at the thought. They paused again before Jellal leaned forward placed a kiss on Erza's cheek. "I'll, uh, see you later."
"Definitely," Erza agreed, who was blushing like crazy, and they went their separate ways.
Jellal walked down the hallway, feeling as though the past month had just been a train wreck that he managed to survive. Things were finally looking up . . . until he remembered something.
"Shit. I forgot to set up an actual date."
Hey there! Author here. I just wanted to say, thank-you to everyone who hung around and read this story. It's over now. The only chance of me writing an epilogue is if I can somehow incorporate 'it's like normal addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but it's soul-shriveling'. And Jellal has to say it.
But anyway, public service announcement! You like Laxus and Jellal being bros? I'm writing a fanfiction just about that! However, I need ideas. You can read about the fanfiction and what I need here on my profile, or you can use the link on my profile to go to the original tumblr post because it won't copy the entire link and if someone could help on that, that would be fantastic. If for some reason that isn't working, go to my tumblr, link on my profile, and it should be the first post. I'm sorry that this is really hard. I'm not the most tech-savy person out there.
You can send me the answers on my tumblr or here on Fanfiction, but I would prefer Tumblr. Thanks for your time, and thanks for reading!
