Erza's POV

When Sting asked me to the ball, I was over the moon. But if Jellal were to ask me, I would have been out of this solar system.

"I told you he would ask you" Lucy said.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. He probably asked me because he felt sorry for me" I rolled my eyes.

"Erza and Sting, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g" Lucy sang.

"Can you please stop singing about Sting and I" I groaned.

"Speak of the devil, here he comes. Maybe he's finally going to ask you out and you'll kiss and-" Lucy teased before I covered her mouth with my hand.

"Shoosh! He's coming" I peeked over my shoulder.

I could see his well-built figure coming and less than a few seconds, he's standing next to me.

"Hey Sting" I said.

"Hey Erza. Um, why are you covering Lucy's mouth?" Sting asked.

"Oh." I quickly removed my hand and wiped it on my top. "No reason."

"So, um, Erza, can I talk to you for a second? Privately" Sting stammered.

That was interesting. I have never seen Sting act kind of nervous. He's usually so confident and cocky so I wonder what this is about. I nodded and stood up. Lucy winked at me as I walked away with Sting but I just rolled my eyes. Sting and I walked over to the other side of the cafeteria and he started fidgeting awkwardly.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked.

"Will you go on a date with me?" Sting blurted.

I smiled. "Yes, I will."

I can't believe I made him feel nervous and just to ask me on a date, that was really sweet.

"Really? Wow. Thanks. Okay, I'll pick you up tonight at 6, no, 5. Yeah, 5:00 tonight" Sting said.

"Okay then" I laughed. "5:00 it is."

Sting's POV

When Erza said yes to going to the ball with me, I was over the moon. When Erza said yes to going on a date with me, I felt like I was out of this solar system. I just loved Erza so much; she was my life. That might sound really cheesy but it was like love at first sight. Whenever I was around her, my heart would beat faster and my legs would turn into jelly. Erza made me feel nervous and not like my usual cocky self. I was so glad that she doesn't have a boyfriend so I'm one step closer to becoming her boyfriend.

It was 4:30 and I was just finishing up the touches to my date. I looked around and when I was pleased with the setting, I went downstairs to get ready to pick up Erza. I hopped into my car and drove to her house, which I remember from memorising it all the time. When I got to her house, I parked the car, just sat there and took a deep breath. I strode up to her front door and after fixing my tie, I rang the doorbell.

"I'm coming!" I heard her call from inside.

I wiped my sweaty palms on my pants and fidgeted while I waited for Erza. Wait, sweaty? I guess I was really nervous and I have never been this nervous with a girl before.

"Hey Sting" Erza's sweet voice chirped, bringing me out of my embarrassing thoughts.

"Hey Erza" I managed to say without stumbling.

There was an awkward silence as I checked out Erza. She was dressed in a black sparkly dress that showed off her curves really well and matching shoes. The dress stopped a bit above her knee and it had sleeves that went to her elbow. Erza had a small amount of make up on which made her eyes pop and her red hair was done in a nice high bun. As I took in her appearance, I realised how beautiful she actually was.

"You look beautiful" I cut the silence.

Erza smiled. "Thanks. You too."

I held out my arm, which she took hold of and I led her to the car. We got in and I started driving to the date place, which was a surprise. As I was driving, I noticed that my hands were gripping the steering wheel too tight so I tried to relax.

"So, how are you?" Erza asked me, which eased the tension in the car.

"I'm good. How was your week?" I asked back.

"It was great. I saw a magic show the other day with some family friends."

We seemed more comfortable with each other now and I guess you could say that I got some of my cockiness and confidence back.

"Well, are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears."

I also forgot to add that I got some of my flirting self back.

"That was cheesy" Erza's angelic laugh filled my ears. "So, where are we going?"

"I'm not telling" I sing-songed.

In minutes, we were at the destination. It was an old grey building that I had found and hired to use for tonight. I took Erza's hand and walked her inside and to the top of the building, where we stood on the rooftop. You see, I didn't hire the whole building, just the rooftop.

"Oh my god! Sting, did you do all this for me?" she looked around amazed.

"Yeah" I blushed. It was kind of unlike me to be this romantic for someone.

"That's so sweet. It's beautiful" Erza gushed.

"Thank you."

I decorated the place with fairy lights and lanterns. Near one side of the roof, was a table and two chairs. Food was laid on the table-clothed table and there were candles and flowers on the table. The dark night sky and stars finished off the look perfectly to create one of the most romantic places.

"Please, sit down" I said in a gentleman voice and pulled out one of the chairs.

"Why thank you kind sir" Erza replied politely and sat down.

I pushed in her chair and then sat down in my chair.

"Did you make this yourself?" Erza asked shocked.

"What? Are you surprised that a guy like me would make that?"

She was referring to the handmade menu that was in her hands. I put on the most expensive foods I could find and made the menu look really professional, as well as this whole date.

"Here, try some of the bread with caviar" I pushed the plate of bread with caviar towards her.

I honestly have no clue what it is and I haven't tried it. I just searched up the most expensive foods and caviar was on it so I ordered this; which was bread, caviar and this cream thingy. Erza took some of it and I could tell she liked it so I decided to try some. Oh god, it tasted horrible! It was like fish and it was not a nice taste.

"Are you okay Sting? The caviar was really nice by the way" Erza was practically laughing her head off.

"Y-yeah, it was" I lied.

"I bet you loved it" Erza rolled her eyes with a grin.

After eating that, we ate the rest of the delicious food and by the end of it, I was full. We had dessert which was probably bigger than the main course and entrée put together. Dessert consisted of ice cream, an assortment of cakes, jelly, pudding and slices.

"Sting, that was the best dinner ever!" Erza exclaimed.

"You mean the best dessert" I laughed.

"Too bad there wasn't strawberry cheesecake" Erza pouted.

"You like strawberry cheesecake?"

"Yeah. It's my favourite food."

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know."

"That's fine."

"Come on. Shall we dance to practice for the ball?" I stood up and held my hand out.

"I think that's a great idea" Erza agreed and grabbed my hand.

We walked away from the table and to the middle of the roof where we got into the dance position Ooba taught us. The cold breeze rippled through our hair and clothes and we danced. As we swayed back and forth, I stared into Erza's beautiful eyes and I felt like I could get lost forever. I spun her around and then dipped her. Time seemed to slow as I leaned down and our lips met. Her lips were so soft and tasted amazing. The passionate moment came to an end and I pulled away reluctantly.

"I have a surprise for you Erza" I whispered in her ear.

I took her small hand in mine and walked her to the edge of the roof. No, I wasn't going to push her off the roof. I checked my watch.

"Any minute now" I muttered.

And. . . . . . . . .

BOOM!

Was it an explosion? No. It was fireworks. They were close by and they shot into the air and exploded beautifully. You see, I had a talent for lights and fireworks so I decided to do some of both. I even had these big lights that casted a spotlight on the table we ate at. Most of the fireworks I did were red, because it was Erza's favourite colour. The fireworks died down and when I looked at Erza, she was flabbergasted.

"That was just amazing and so sweet of you, I can't even describe it. Was that all for me?" Erza asked.

"Of course. I would do anything for you" I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Thank you for this amazing date, Sting."

"Like I said: anything for you."

Erza took a step back and rested her hands on my shoulders. Me, being confident once again, swooped down and pressed another kiss on her lips. I smiled into the kiss but then we broke away. Whenever she was around, my tummy would feel like butterflies and when I touched her, yep, there were tingles. Erza made me feel like no other girl has made me felt. It felt like I was a moth drawn to a flame, Erza being the flame and I really liked the feeling she gave me.

"Erza, I don't know if this is too soon. But I think I really like you."

Well, there's some Sting x Erza moments for you, which I'm sure you're all hating. I'm so upset and sad and nervous because I'm going back to school in four days! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays, like I did. Last week, when I was on my way to my camping trip, we got stuck on the middle of a steep hill and we couldn't drive anywhere because it was too muddy so we had to sleep in the car, on an angle, with mosquitoes!

Please, I'm begging you to take a second to VOTE and COMMENT!!! Doesn't matter about the follow. Thanks  :)
