Request: Hello :3, Can you do a drabble of Jellal's Death? (like those rumors that he'll die protecting Erza ;A; )

One-Shot:

She was frozen, the flashes and screams all around her fading to nothingness. All she saw was the body of her lover falling, slowly, towards the ground, burgundy blood splattering across the exposed plains of his chest.

It was as if someone clicked the 'play' button on the remote that controlled her body; his name fell from her lips in a broken crescendo, and she was running towards him, caution thrown out the window.

Gray, Natsu and Lucy were all yelling one thing or another, but she paid no heed, because in that moment all that mattered with the cold hand she was grasping, the man who was trying to bring back to life. Alas, she knew, it was impossible.

Pain spread through her like a wild fire, pain like she never knew. Crying out, she let her head fall forward, the porcelain white of her skin stained with the deep red of Jellal's blood. His name flew off her lips, again and again, but there was no reassuring, baritone whisper to tell her that he was okay. That he wasalive.

As the world around them crumbled, Erza could only clutch his broken body to herself, the scene replaying in her head again and again; a shot had been sent to her unprotected back, and Jellal, in the haste to protect his angel, had thrown himself in front of her, taking on the full force of the dark magic that could only destroy. Before she knew it, he was falling, a last smile sent in her direction.

A smile that she knew, simply knew, said: 'Maybe in another life, we'll be together.'
