The Armor Hero || TITANIA THE FREEDOM OF HOPE ( A BNHA X FAIRY TAIL STORY)

A way to keep moving forward (S2)

Erza POV

Tsukauchi and I just finished in discussing what had happened at the USJ at the police station. I have known Tsukauchi since 10 years ago when we were rescued from our slavers. He was still a rookie detective when he was the one who questioned me.

By the time we were done the sun had set. It was 8:30 at night.

"Are you going to go to the hospital Erza?" He asked me as we were walking outside the station.

"Yes, I want to see how Aizawa is. And....Jellal." I told him as I looked down a bit.

I then turned towards him.

"Do you mind giving me a ride to the house and then take me to the hospital?" I asked him.

He smiled and nodded. "I don't mind at all."

We then made it outside and walked to his car.  We drove to Aizawa and I's house. When we arrived I told him he could wait in the car, that I wouldn't take long.

When I got inside, I went to my room and requip back my uniform and changed into casual clothes. I then grab a few more things and left the house again to go to the hospital.

I then got inside Tsukauchi's car and he drove to the hospital.

It was silent for a few minutes until Tsukauchi spoke.

"You know....you can talk to me. Right?" He asked.

I was silent for a minute until I spoke. "Before today I never realized how much my life has fully changed."

I then continued. "To be honest.... I wanted to die. I wanted to give up twice while I was fighting foes that were meant to do just that."

"But.....the voices of people, who I come to deeply care about came to mind. They kept telling me to not give up." I said while smiling a bit.

"I remembered my reason in being the person who I am now, and as to what kind of hero I want to be. A hero that gives people freedom and hope. I was foolish to wanting to give up and die, when people have risked their lives and freedom for me to live. And Jellal....even when he was being controlled he once again helped me to stand up and fight to defeat him. It's not that I was protecting everyone. I was the one always being protected. It was time to return the favor." I said while I turned to look at him with a smile.

I saw that he smiled as well. "I'm glad that you are able to be more comfortable with everyone else. And to have friends again as well."

"Friends, huh? It's more of.....having a family than them being just friends. I'll always do everything in my power to protect them and help them in anyway I can." I told him.

I then heard him talk. "You know, you're like the mother of your classmates."

I gasp in surprise a bit on what he said. "What's that supposed to mean?! Tsukauchi!"

"It's nothing bad. It's just....you act like one. You help them, give them advice, scold them even. But in the end, you still care for them like a mother would." He said reassuring me that he didn't mean anything bad.

I then looked back at the window. "I guess.... I never thought it like that. I had always wondered how it would feel like to have a mother. But then remembered that I don't need one because Aizawa has given me a lot even when he didn't need to. I'm grateful to have him in my life." I said to him while I was smiling.
