Siegrain

He stared her down, his eyes full of compressed rage. He couldn't help but admit she was beautiful, Scarlet hair that was rare, no? But that had only angered him, a beautiful wife in such a short time..how?

"Hello, Siegrain." Jellal spoke, breaking the silence in a tone Erza had not recognized. Siegrain stood out of respect.

"It's good to see you again, Jellal." Siegrain greeted, his eyes never leaving Jellal's, thats when Erza had realized, they were having their own conversation without words.

"And who is this lovely lady." Siegrain questioned, focusing his attention on Erza.

"This is Erza. My wife." Jellal stated, wrapping his arm protectively around her waist.

Siegrain narrowed his eyes at the scene before him but responded with a simple nod.

"Ultear, Natsu come introduce yourselves." Siegrain spoke over his shoulder almost demandingly.

The young rosy haired man ran over to where Erza was.

"Hello there miss Erza!" He nearly screeched with newfound energy, extending his hand out for her to shake. A smile graced her lips as she shook his hand.

"I have to say Miss Erza, you have really beautiful Scarlet hair!" Natsu commented, his lips forming into a grin. Erza blushed, earning a steely look from Jellal.

Natsu hopped towards the left greeting Jellal next.

The woman with the raven coloured hair approached her a small smile playing along her lips.

"It's nice to meet you." Ultear greeted formally.

"As too you." Erza nodded her head.

"I need to have a word with MY wife, please excuse us."

Jellal spoke out of the blue, putting emphasis on the 'MY', grasping Erza's wrist an walking a bit down the hall, leaving their guests with Lucy once more, before stopping on his heel, placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Your MY wife." Jellal stated. Erza arched an eyebrow.

"I know that." Erza stated, confusion hitting her tone.

"Then how dare you blush for him!" Jellal burst.

Erza rolled her eyes.

"If someone calls you beautiful I'm sure having the grace to blush is okay." Erza stated.

"Not if your my wife!" Jellal shot back. She blinked twice before responding.

"Are you jealous?" Erza questioned, a small smile gracing her lips.

"Yes." He huffed looking anywhere but her face, removing his hands from her small shoulders.

"You don't have to be, I mean, I like you, don't I? I'm married to you, I chose to lov- like you, and I don't regret my decision, okay? Just know that ." She whispered in a small hushed voice, only for Jellal's ears.

He stared at her for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, i guess it's okay, just this one time. I don't like it though, your not allowed to look at anyone else like that, ever again. But me. Promise me that." He spoke, in a small murmur.

"I promise." She whispered.

"Now seal it with a kiss." He demanded.

She looked at him for a second. "Is that how things are done these days?" Erza questioned raising an eyebrow.

"No, but I want a kiss." Jellal stated in a way so seriously, Erza couldn't help but giggle, just brushing the side of his cheek with her lips.

"Okay." He grinned.

Ultear placed a hand on Siegrain's shoulder attempting to calm the rage in his eyes.

"Don't touch me." Siegrain hissed in a hushed voice, causing Ultear to flinch away from him. This had not gone unnoticed by Lucy as she furrowed her eyebrows at the scene before her. Opening her mouth to protest but realized she wasn't sure of what to say.

Jellal walked back gracing them with his presence once more a happy smile plastered on his face, Erza right behind him.

"A-hem, i apologize for my little disruption, please sit. Lets catch up." Jellal spoke with full authority, which Erza found extremely funny considering just minutes ago he was pouting.

Siegrain gave Jellal a funny look but sat down.

"Very well." Siegrain agreed a sudden look of curiosity visible in his eyes as he stared at Erza once more, the nervousness almost deathly.

"I must admit, Erza is quite pretty, might i ask, how did you two meet?" Siegrain questioned, making Erza go stiff.

"We met near Hargeon." Jellal answered confidently, so confident Erza would've fell for it."

Siegrain arched an eyebrow.

"What were you doing in Hargeon?" Erza stiffened once more, she knew he had suspected something.

"Shopping of course." Jellal answered inching towards Erza who was now seated on the leather couch.

"Hm, okay and Erza what were you doing in Hargeon?" Siegrain asked directing the question towards her. On impulse she wanted to ask where the hell Hargeon was, and state that she had never been there before, but held her tongue for Jellal's sake.

"I was...visiting..family." Erza spoke on her feet.

"Really? I know quite a few people from Hargeon, i use to live there you know, maybe i'd recognize your family. What're their names?" Siegrain questioned, but Erza saw into his intentions.

"Auntie..." Erza thought long and hard for a name, vague memories of a movie based off a detective named Sherlock had sprout into her mind.

"Auntie...Sherlock..." She mumbled, causing Jellal to mentally facepalm, as a chuckle rose from Lucy's throat.

Siegrain arched an eyebrow, a suppressed smile played on his lips.

"Sherlock, that name seems familiar.." Siegrain teased.

"Maybe if you described her.."

Jellal felt like throwing his body head first into a pit of alligators.

"W-well she's got..some hair, eyebrows...a set of arms and legs.." Erza stuttered, a loud laugh had burst out of Natsu.

"Hoo boy Jellal! This one's a keeper, shes got a sense of humor!" Natsu guffawed, Erza silently thanked him for saving her hide.

Lucy turned her head towards the left, her eyes widening before it went pitch black.
