Emma hesitated before returning the hug, resting her head on Erza's shoulder and whispering "Alright. I won't do anything." A pause. i should have fought back."
"Something wrong, Eli?" Jade asked from her guard position on the mall's roof, where the two were waiting. "Not like you to be quiet."
Eli pulled her into a hug. "I plan to." he whispered, knowing this was wrong. That his conscious would make it so that he couldn't stay a villain. How he and Jade could never truly be together. But he leaned in and kissed her anyway.
Ezra nodded, getting up but not letting go of Emma's hand.
Jade didn't hesitate, pulling Eli close to her and happily returning the kiss. "Good boy." She murdered, clearly laughing as she tangled a hand in Eli's hair in an effort to keep him there. "But I still don't believe you."
Emma walked out of the door, still nervous in case she got caught. "Don't let go of me, please."
Jade frowned, trying to make sense of his question. "Well, at first I thought you were just another sleazy guy who hit on anyone. But now... I realise there's more to you. Why?"
Eventually they reached the East quad, and Emma paused in front of the door. "Thanks..."
Jade still didn't really believe Eli, but decided to leave it, pulling away slightly. "Jake and the others should be done soon. I reckon we'll finish off then." She smirked. "I wonder what happened to that group from earlier."
Seeing Erza's discomfort, Emma pulled him into a hug. "I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"
"Guess so." Jade agreed, still smirking. "And I guess we'll just go back to our dorms, too. It was actually rather silly coming here - for all we know they could have ignored us and reported the attack."
Emma held on for a few more moments, before reaching up to kiss Erza.
