Hello everyone, how's it going
So it's been what, around five months since I updated this story. I apologize greatly for not updating in such a long time but I just have a hard time trying to write this story. Every time I try to write this story my mind just stops flat in the middle of whatever I'm writing and trying to make it start up again takes too long that I give up and work on something else.
I won't promise that I'll update this more often (God knows I won't be able to with all the stories I have) But I'll, I'll. . . . . Yeah, I got nothing but to say don't expect this updating any time soon. . . . . Again
Well I took enough of your time with this, so before we begin

Now without further ado, let's begin
Current Year X781: Three years to main story
It took Jellal a good while to get to Magnolia as it was now late in the evening with only a few hours of light left. Jellal stepped out of the train with his luggage as he stretched a bit with a yawn. Jellal walked out of the train station as he made his way down the street to where he remembered Fairy Tail was.
As he walked down the streets he let old happy memories sweep past him as being back in Magnolia felt so nostalgic after being gone for several years. As he was walking down the street a portion of it blew up a few feet ahead of him a flurry of fire and ice
Jellal stopped and blinked thinking about what just happened. He then noticed there were two kids throwing spells at each other without reluctance of safety. Jellal sighed as he placed his luggage on the rubble next to him as he walked over to the two kids fighting along with a blue cat flying high above them.
Jellal cracked his knuckles as that got the kids attention as they turned to their fear as they thought it was Erza. Except they saw it wasn't Erza, what they saw was a blue haired man with a tattoo on the side of his face walking up to them
"You know" Jellal began "It's not nice to fight in the middle of the street where innocent people could get hurt" Jellal said coldly as his heavenly magic surrounded him menacingly as Jellal knew who these two are as Erza described the two and told him if he ever saw them fighting for no reason. Hit them
Jellal didn't know what she meant in the letter she sent him about them but now he does. These two won't listen to words of reason, they only listen to their fists
"Hey! Who the heck are you!" The pinkette as Jellal could guess was Natsu shouted at him with a flaming fist
"Uh Natsu, I don't think this is a good idea" The other boy that Jellal remembered during his short time in Fairy Tail that was such a long time ago was Gray who started walking back slightly
"Well Natsu it was nice knowing you" The small blue flying cat said as Jellal remembered in one of the letters saying that they found an egg that a cat hatched out of with wings and had the ability to talk. Now Jellal wasn't say Erza is making something like that up, especially since Erza is always truthful in her letters but he couldn't really believe it until now
"Is that a talking cat?" Jellal pointed out as Natsu ignored him
"Screw you two I'll handle this guy on my o-"
Makarov the third guild master of Fairy Tail sighed when he heard the destruction that could've only been caused by his children. Children meaning he considers all who joins fairy tail his children as this place was more like a home to everyone than a guild.
"Those two are at it again" Makarov grumbled as he drank from his beer mug
"Those two" Lisanna said with a sigh "Don't they know Erza is about to get back from her mission today" Lisanna said as she knew for a fact that the rest of the guild knows that those two will be handed their ass on a silver platter when Erza learns of what they did
"Honestly you think they learn any better with all the beatings they get from Erza about causing a ruckus" Macao, one of the senior residents of Fairy Tail, said with a shake of his head as a pink object was thrown through their door and into the wall on the other side of the guild
"Erza's back" Cana said while playing with her cards
"I-It's not E-Erza" Natsu coughed out as he fell out of the hole in the wall he was embedded in.
That small fact caused everyone to get up and get in a battle stance as they turned to the door to see the blue haired man holding onto the wrist of an unconscious Gray in one hand and his luggage in the other. He continued to walk inside the guild, dragging Gray as he did as everyone was tense, except for Makarov as he calmly drank his beer as Jellal soon stood in front of Makarov as he leisurely tossed Gray aside
"Hello Makarov, it's good to see you again" Jellal said with a bow as this action surprised many of the members until some senior members started to remember who he was
"Jellal my boy, it's good to see you again as well" Makarov said with a happy chortle as the senior members all felt a click in their heads as they remembered the boy. Several of them came up to the boy and welcomed him back while the new members didn't understand what was happening.
"Now I remember you, you used to be one of Erza's friends. Right?" Cana asked Jellal as she remembered that he was one of the kids that joined the guild with Erza years ago
"Yes I am, it's good to see you again Cana, it's a shame my reintroduction with Gray wasn't the same" Jellal said jerking his thumb towards the unconscious pile that was Gray, who somehow took his pants off
Cana laughed lightly at that "Well he's an idiot, what do you expect" Cana said as Gray groaned
"I heard that" Gray said weakly as he used the table he was next to as a support as he picked himself up off the ground
"Hello Jellal" Lisanna said walking up to him
"Ah, hello Lisanna it's good to see again, you gotten bigger" Jellal said looking down at the white haired girl
"Are you here to see Erza?" Lisanna asked as Jellal smiled at her
"Of course, where is she?" Jellal asked as he didn't see her among the members of the guild
"Okay, who are you, why do you know my sister, and what do you want with that tin can" An older white haired girl said hotly to Jellal as she walked up to him with a hand on her hip and stern look on her face
"Nee-chan" A boy with white hair said trying to placate the older sibling. Jellal recognize these two as Mirajane and Elfman, older siblings of Lisanna
"Well to answer your questions in order. I'm Jellal Fernandes, I met your sister about a few year ago when she went on a mission with you while you went to eat or as she said you did" Jellal stated as this caused Mira's eye to twitch at the fact she left her sister alone with this creep as Jellal continued "And for why I want to see Erza. . . Well that's my business and my business alone" Jellal said with a smile that held ill intention upon the white haired girl if she disrespected his girlfriend in front of him
"It seems a lot has changed since you left us" Makarov said before pointing at the Wizard Saint symbol on his jacket "Congratulations are in order I supposed" Makarov said with a joyous laugh as everyone soon noticed the symbol on his jacket as everyone looked at him in awe as some congratulated him
"Really you're a Wizard Saint! Fight me!" Natsu shouted as he rushed towards Jellal with his fists covered in fire. Jellal let out an amused huff as he simply punched Natsu as the pinkette hung off his fist for a bit before falling to the floor
"He really doesn't give up" Jellal muttered
"Tell me about it" Gray said as he walked over to Jellal "Nice to meet you again Jellal, sorry for not recognizing you before" Gray said as the two shook hands
"It's alright, we were both kids back then. It's only natural you wouldn't remember with how long it's been" Jellal said with a shrug
"What's going on?"
A familiar voice cut through the sound of the guild as they turned to see Erza standing at the broken entrance that reminded Jellal he should pay for that. The group of people that was around Jellal parted to expose him to Erza. He couldn't help but smile as he watched her shocked face transition to one of pure happiness. Jellal on the other hand
"What the hell" Jellal muttered at how much Erza changed in only a year. Erza has gotten much taller, mature looking, and filled out in the right places that Jellal couldn't help but stare at before realizing what he was doing
"It suprised me greatly when she came to the guild one day looking like that and I have to say, the change is pretty great isn't that right Jellal" Makarov said nudging Jellal's side with chortle as Jellal sent him a glare before returning his gaze to Erza
"Hey Erza, good to see y-" Jellal was cut off when Erza tackled him to the ground with a hug. The single action shocked everyone excluding Makarov and Lisanna which the two just smiled wider as if knowing an inside joke about something. Jellal at that moment was blushing hard as he could feel her press against him with those. . Assets she gained during the year. It would've been awkward if it wasn't for the fact Erza's strength also increased during the years he hasn't seen her "E-Erza, your. Choking. Me" Jellal chocked out while patting Erza's back as she realized what she was doing and let go of him with a major blush
"I'm sorry I-I didn't realize" Erza stammered as Jellal steadied his breathing
"It's alright but could you get off me" Jellal said with a slight blush as Erza realized that she was on top of him
"S-Sorry" Erza stammered as she quickly got off him and helped him up
"It's alright" Jellal said with the faint blush still on his cheeks
"W-What are you doing here anyways" Erza coughed into her fist as she tried to calm down before noticing the sly grins of the older members along with Cana and Lisanna while Mira looked at them curiously before looking away with a scoff. Erza requip a sword as she glared at the onlookers menacingly as Jellal laughed slightly forcefully at what Erza was doing.
"Well it seems your quick temper is still as ferocious as I remember" Jellal muttered before flinching when Erza directed her glare towards him "So the reason I'm here is because I got a week off, because of this I decided to come visit Fairy Tail. I only got here today so that means I have at least six days to spend here before I have to return to Era" Jellal said quickly so he wouldn't get the brunt end of Erza's temper
Erza stared at him for a moment before her sword disappeared in a shining light "Alright then" Erza said calmly as Jellal let out a silent sigh of relief "Where are you staying?" Erza asked politely while getting another round of sly grins that caused her not only to requip her sword but a black suit of armor that forced them all to quickly go back to their places they were at before Jellal arrived
Jellal sweat dropped at the scene "I was actually planning on going to the nearest hotel I could find before I found those two fighting in the street" Jellal said jerking his thumb at Gray and Natsu who the latter just regained consciousness as they quickly backed away when Erza turned her hardened gaze towards them
"So it was you two who made that ruckus awhile ago" Erza said darkly as she dragged her sword that scraped against the hardwood floor "What did I say about fighting with each other" Erza said darkly as she towered over the two cowering mages
Jellal let out a huff thinking the two mages already got enough punishment for one day "Erza" Jellal called out to her as she stopped what she was doing to look at him
"Yes?" Erza asked looking back at him as the two under Erza's figure started to back away from her
"I wanted to know if you could come with me to help find a hotel to stay at" Jellal said with a smile as Erza stared at him for a moment before her sword and armor disappeared in a flash
"You two" Erza said sternly at Natsu and Gray who flinched under her gaze "I'm not done disciplining you, understood" Erza said darkly as the two quickly nodded "Good, I'll be back later" Erza said with a huff as she walked away from them as they let out a breath of sweet relief of not being disciplined by Erza "Come on, lets go" Erza said walking past Jellal who waited patiently for her
Jellal chuckled softly as he turned to Makarov "I'll be seeing you later" Jellal said as he picked up his luggage and started walking away when he heard Makarov laugh under his breath
"That is if Erza doesn't keep you to herself that is" Makarov said with a chortle Jellal blushed when Makarov said that and walked a little faster out of the guild
Jellal walked out of the guild still feeling the heat on his cheeks as Erza looked back at him curiously "What's wrong?" Erza asked
"Nothing, nothing at all" Jellal said quickly
Erza stared at him for a moment before shrugging "So there are two hotels in magnolia that probably has room for you. Where do you want to go first?" Erza asked with a smile as Jellal shuffled in his footing
"Well truthfully I, well" Jellal said bashfully with the blush on his face returning as he looked away from Erza
"What?" Erza asked softly
"I. . I wanted to know if it was too much if I could stay with you, you know like we did as kids" Jellal said bashfully as Erza's cheeks turned red as well
". . . . . Well it wouldn't be too much of a hassle" Erza said looking away while covering her mouth to hide her smile at the thought of living together with Jellal
"G-Great" Jellal stuttered as he didn't expect her to agree, the most he would've expected was a flustered 'no' coming from her
"Well, come on" Erza said leading her to the girl's dormitory "You're going to have to be quiet because guys aren't allowed in the dormitory" Erza said as they reached the hill where the dormitory Fairy Hills was located on
"I understand" Jellal said a little too serious as he was incredibly nervous and was wondering if it was too late to actually look for another place to stay the week. Erza walked up to the entrance and opened it as she made sure the coast was clear. Erza signaled him to follow as she entered the dormitory. Jellal took a deep breath as he entered the girls dormitory.
Jellal felt like an intruder, worse, a pervert for sneaking into a girl's dorm. Jellal followed Erza towards her room as she opened the door and walked in. Jellal followed after and closed the door behind him as he soon took in the entire room
"Did your room get bigger since I was last here?" Jellal asked as he didn't remember her room being so big when they were kids
"I rented out the surrounding rooms next to mine so I could make room for my weapons and armor" Erza said leading to another door she opened to reveal a hallway of armor and weapons
"You gotten quite a few more additions since I last seen them" Jellal stated as she gotten at least three times as many suits of armor he seen her own. Some of them he didn't even know she owned
"Well I always see something I want so I work hard to get it. Besides, I love wearing them and feeling the magic of the suits effecting my fighting style" Erza said as she walked up to her Heavenly Armor which looked odd because from what Jellal remembered people saying is that armor was very flaunting with expose flesh when worn but he sees it with multiple improvements and additions that hid that modest amount of flesh away
"Aren't these supposed to be somewhat revealing?" Jellal asked as Erza scratched her cheek with a faint blush on her cheek
"Well, I just don't want people to look at me like that" Erza said surprising Jellal as he never really thought of Erza being modest "Besides, I rather only let you see me like that" Erza told Jellal with a smile before noticing his jaw dropped stare and reddening face. It took Erza a moment before realizing what she just said to him "I mean, I meant I rather let you see me in such seductive armor than others- Wait I mean!" Erza exclaimed quickly as Jellal's thoughts went into Erza wearing such scandalous clothing caused him to have a massive nosebleed "Are you okay!" Erza exclaimed when she saw the blood
"I'm fine, let's just move on" Jellal said quickly as he walked out of the armory as the nosebleed finally stopped
"Take off your jacket" Erza said suddenly as Jellal jumped up when she said that "I'm going to have to clean it before it gets stained" Erza continued as Jellal relaxed a bit as she was just mentioning the fact there was blood on his jacket
"Alright, here" Jellal said taking off his jacket and handing it over to Erza. Erza took the jacket before noticing a symbol on it
"When did this happen?!" Erza exclaimed in both shock and awe at the Wizard Saint symbol
"I just got it today, that was the main reason why I was given a week off" Jellal said scratching the back of his head
Erza smiled and gave him a peck on his cheek "I'm proud of you" Erza said with a smile. Jellal stood stone face before moving towards
"Erza" Jellal breathed out as Erza looked at him curiously before feeling his lips on hers. Erza froze at the sudden action before melting into the sensation as she kissed back with equal amount of vigor. After a good moment the two broke the kiss breathing heavily as they did
"You have no idea how much I wanted to do that in the guild when I saw you" Erza breathed out as Jellal rested his forehead against hers
"Same, god I haven't seen you in over a year and you gotten so beautiful" Jellal said looking into her eyes
"And you gotten quite handsome since then as well" Erza said with a light giggle that sent his heart aflame in hearing her melodious voice after so long
"I'm sorry for not coming to see you sooner but I had so much work, even with Simon's help" Jellal apologized as Erza shook her head
"It's alright, I know you're busy and I can't just take time out of your busy schedule just when I feel selfish for just wanting to go up to you and having you hold me in your arms" Erza said softly as Jellal did as she said with a smile
"Sometimes I think I made a mistake joining the Council" Jellal said softly as Erza pulled back her head with a serious look
"Don't say that" Erza said sternly "Look at what you done because of it. You're now one of the most influential people in Fiore and now considered one of the best Mages as well. You wouldn't have done that if you stayed" Erza said with a soft smile
"Yeah but, it's not really worth it if I'm not with you" Jellal said with a sad smile
"But you are with me Jellal, just. . Not that often" Erza said as her smile faltered for a second
"That's why I'm going to spend this entire week focusing just on you" Jellal said with a smile as Erza leaned in for another kiss as Jellal gladly accepted it
Jellal woke up in the middle of the night not feeling tired. He looked to his side to see Erza curled up against with one arm wrapped around his waist and a cute smile on her face.
Jellal at first didn't want to bother Erza by taking her bed so Erza made a compromise. The compromise was they were to share the bed and it was a good compromise in his opinion.
Jellal smiled softly as he gently push a strand of hair away from Erza's face. Jellal leaned down and kissed her forehead as Erza's smile grew bigger as she held onto him tighter before opening her eyes slowly
"Is something wrong?" Erza asked softly with a yawn
"No, just thinking" Jellal said as he caressed her arm
"Want to talk about it" Erza asked while moving her head to a better position to look at him
"Should we tell them, about us I mean" Jellal said as he meant telling Fairy Tail about their relationship
"I don't know, I know they won't say anything but that doesn't mean one of them won't blab in the future" Erza said with a slight frown
"Natsu" Jellal guessed
"Natsu" Erza confirmed with a tired huff "He knows well but I can't just help but feel that he may say it out loud in some random town and then the gossip would spread and, oh god I don't want to think about it" Erza said with a groan before sighing
"I know you want people to know about us but it'll put to much pressure on my position if they find out I'm with you and helping out your guild. I'm a councilman, I'm supposed to be fair and neutral with the guilds. Not put all my effort on one woman and her guild because I care about them" Jellal said sadly as Erza frowned before tightening her grip on him
"Hey, look at me" Erza said as Jellal looked at her smiling face "We'll deal with this one step at a time. Sure we may not tell them now but maybe in the future. It won't be hard, just have to be assertive in saying they can't say anything about us" Erza said with a smirk as Jellal chuckled a bit
"I guess so, but for now let's just enjoy what we have now" Jellal said softly as Erza murmured in agreement "Hey" Jellal said after a moment
"Hm?" Erza murmured
"I love you" Jellal said softly as Erza smiled brightly at him
"I love you too" Erza said lovingly as she kissed him "Come on, let's go back to sleep" Erza said as the two pulled away and snuggled closer and fell asleep as their worries are for another as for now they have each other and that's all that matters
