Chapter 12: “Who says you can’t explore?”

Chapter Text

“Do you want to go on a date with me?”

Erza jumped so hard she let the glass she had been holding fall. With a swift movement, Mirajane caught it before putting it back to its place.

“Are you serious?”

Mirajane smiled at her.

“Why wouldn't I be?”

“I'm not– I don't think I'm–”

“You just said you didn't want to spend your life with a man.” Erza frowned. That's what she had said, but she hadn't thought that it was how Mirajane would interpret it. “If you don't like it we'll just stop. We don't even have to call that a date, we can say it's a... friendly outing?” Mirajane said, smiling at her.

She took a few moments to think about it. She had no reason to refuse.

“... Okay.”

“Really?” Mirajane's eyes widened and Erza could feel her cheeks reddening. She simply shrugged.

“You won't regret it.” The barmaid added, kissing her cheek. Erza felt her heart pounding wildly and she believed her.
