Forever As One (a Jerza fanfiction)

Chapter 7

A/N: This song fits Jerza so much it's not even funny! You can listen to it before or after you read, since it doesn't have that much relation to the chapter, or you can listen to it while you're reading! The song is: Sorry For Everything Nightcore

Erza couldn't stop thinking about Jellal the whole day the next day. She knew that it was wrong, but she couldn't help thinking about how charming he looked, his brown eyes soft, his light blue hair ruffled in the wind...... She pinched herself, making herself break away from the lovely day-dream she was having.

She sighed and rubbed her face with her hands.

Ultear was again picking flowers, and she was quite quiet. Then, she looked at Erza. "Erza? Can I ask you something?" She asked and Erza nodded, bowing. "Anything, Princess." She replied and Ultear's face glowed a bright red.

"Have you ever fallen in love?" She asked and Erza thought about it for a moment. She never did fall in love, but she had a strange feeling that she was slowly falling in love with Jellal. She nodded.

"Is it when your heart beats really fast and you get really nervous around that person?" Erza remembered how she had felt nervous around Jellal the night before, and her heart was hammering in her chest. She nodded. Ultear squealed a little bit. "I think I've fallen in love!" She shouted and Erza smiled. "Who is the lucky suitor, My Lady?" She asked not knowing that she would soon regret asking, and Ultear bit her lip. "Prince Jellal." She answered and Erza's eyes widened and heart stopped beating for a moment, and then the sound of it cracking resounded in her ears.

"Excuse me." She said and walked off, her eyes wide and her heart was aching so much that tears were actually in her eyes.

Prince Jellal.

Once she thought that she was far enough, she let out a frustrated yell and punched the nearest wall. Tears were streaming down her face and her fist hurt, but she paid no attention to it. Why was she feeling this way? Why did it hurt so much knowing that Ultear would get Jellal in the end, since they were betrothed? She couldn't find the answers to those questions.

She slid down the wall, burying her face in her knees. Why do I feel this way? She thought and she let out a frustrated sob. Why can't I find happiness everywhere I go....? All I ever feel is pain after I find something to be happy about.

She continued to sob quietly until she heard rustling leaves. Her head snapped up and Jellal emerged from around the corner. He stared at her in shock. "Captain Erza....? Are you alright?" He asked and she stood up, turning around swiftly. "I pardon my behavior, My Lord. It is highly unnecessary for you to see me like this." She said and started walking away.

He took a step forward and grabbed her wrist, making her stop. He pulled her wrist so that she turned around, her brown eyes wide as he pulled her into a hug. She stood there, motionless, tears streaming from her wide eyes. He held her tightly, it was comforting to her; too comforting. She knew that she shouldn't be doing this. Allowing royalty to hug her like that, she knew that it was against the rules, and she would get in a lot of trouble if someone saw.

She chose to ignore the rules for once, and enjoy the moment.

And so she hugged him back.

A/N: Yay! A cute Jerza moment! I know this isn't the longest chapter, but it'll have to make due. I really enjoyed writing this chapter! I feel like I'm better at the emotional scenes then the fighting scenes! I probably write horrible fight scenes, but that's why I have two action books, one Naruto and one Fairy Tail. If you watch Naruto, The Siren Of The Mist is a new book, and The Slayer is the Fairy Tail one! Love you my Strawberry Patches!
