Battle... or not?

Third Person's P.O.V.

"So you did show up in front of me. You've got guts." Erza stated, chuckling evilly. "I will never forget the humiliation you have given to me, you rascal." She added.

"Did I ask?" Quinn said sassily, raising one of his eyebrows. "You—" Before Erza could speak another word, Quinn, who was 10 meters in front of her was now near her in less than a blink of an eye. Erza was shocked. Quinn smirked as he winked at her. Erza's face was now reddish, her heart beating fast.

"W-wh a— y-you d-doing?" Erza stuttered, her face blushing as her mind became cloudy. Quinn was confused.

However, instead of being confused, he continued to act more cuter. He smiled innocently. Erza saw his smile, which made her heart now more flustered. Quinn made his face nearer to Erza's face. Erza smelled the smell of Quinn, which again, made her more romantically flustered. Erza looked at Quinn's angelic face and smile, which was for her, is heaven.

"I-I-I..... *sigh* I admit defeat," Erza said, still having a red face as she breathe became heavy, her heart beating fast. 'That easy? I thought I would be in battle. Oh well, it's over.' Quinn thought to himself.

"I accept your defeat, but don't apologize to me. Apologize to Frost and his staff. Never bother them again." Quinn stated. After a moment of silence, Erza nodded, still having a blush on her face.

*2 days later*

"Q-Quinn! I'm in the same room as you from now on." Erza said gladly.

Quinn, on the other hand, was completely confused. He never thought of this outcome. He only thought that after the fight, Erza would never bother himself and Frost ever again. He even trained his physical and magical prowess for this fight. But now, he could only smile, not able to do anything.

'How did this happen again? Oh right. After I said to Erza that she should apologize to Frost and his staff, she nodded. Latterly, she just said that she'll be forever beside me to pay her sins. Seriously? Well, at the very least, she and Frost are on good terms now. Erza and Celestine are now best friends. Finally, some peace.' Quinn thought to his head.

"Don't be sad. She's a good girl now. To us, at least, especially to you. Do you know how badly she wanted to be in the same room with you? She even lives here now because of you! How desperate, yet lovely at the same time. Anyways, I have some of your favorite soup here. Eat it if you want it. It's at your table." Frost whispered at Quinn's ear. Quinn laughed, blushing. He nodded.

Quinn's mind was full of expressions. Astonished, shocked, happy. But one of them stood up the most. It's... being loved. He only felt this way in this world, in this lifetime. Luminos, Frost, Celestine, and the former enemy, Erza, are the ones that treat him like a family. His heart was pounding out of the feeling of greatness.

The feeling of being loved by someone is a thing that he never felt. However, now that he is in this lifetime, he is now glad, and that gladness is forever treasured in his heart.

As Erza took her last belonging from outside to their room, she smiled, wiping her sweat with a white towel. Then, she sat beside Quinn, her heart beating crazily. He looked at Quinn, who was lost in his thoughts. When she saw that face that she loved the very most, she stood up from the bed and took the soup from the table.

When she took the soup at the table which was Quinn's most favorite, Erza sat near her and took a spoonful of soup from the bowl. The food was warm enough to be fine, yet not hot enough for the man to eat. She blew the spoonful of soup, and then looked at Quinn. She blushed.

"Q-Quinn... Are you hungry? Here's some soup. Say ahhh..." Erza said, opening her mouth.

Quinn was interrupted from thinking various things. He looked at Erza, who was holding the bowl with her left hand and the right holding the soup. He smiled. He opened his mouth as Erza's hand hilding the spoon entered Quinn's mouth. When Quinn closed his mouth, Erza took the spoon and then placed it back on the bowl.

'Chakpaskfbzhaoqirjbck. HE TOOK MY OFFERING!! ARE WE ENGAGED NOW?!' Erza thought exaggeratingly in her mind.

As Quinn swallowed the food, he smiled and giggled a bit, looking at Erza. Erza's mind became blank when Quinn did that. It was like her heart was full of joy. Her face was blushing, as her heart is beating faster and faster while she begins to feel romantic excitement.

Quinn didn't know why Erza's face was red, or why she was covering her face with her hair. Quinn was totally clueless. Meanwhile, Frost and Celestine were looking at a hole in the wall, their faces were extremely glad yet pranky at the same time. Their minds were plotting something as. they looked at each other while smiling and smirking evilly.

"Are you thinking the same, Frost?" Celestine whispered, looking at Frost while smiling evilly, as if something fishy is in her mind.

"You got it right, Celestine," Frost replied, having the same face as Celestine. As they were giggling the world out of them, Quinn and Erza, on the other hand, was not doing anything other than eat. Well, Erza feeding Quinn, to be exact.

'If only I could hug him right now, I'll do it. But that's too soon, I'll make him say yes.' Erza thought to herself as she was feeding Quinn.

As they eat, and Frost and Celestine are scheming something, little do they know, the world awaits Quinn and his friends as if destiny were to do something to them that has never been done in history. Behold, as Quinn and his friends' journey, commence!
