"Home," Erza sighed, standing outside the doors of Fairy Tail, Jellal standing at her side. They had just arrived from their journey. Natsu and the others had run ahead to notify everyone that they were back.

"Do you think we'll be ok?" Jellal murmured, looking anxious. After all, he still was a wanted fugitive.

Erza nodded, and took his hand, lacing her fingers through his. "I know we'll be ok. We're together."

He looked at her, turning his head just as she rose on her tiptoes, kissing his lips softly.

She quickly turned away. "Come on," she said, beginning to push the doors open.

Jellal smiled and looked inside, ready to greet the rambunctious guild.

They were met in silence. Jellal blinked, his eyes focusing a tall figure standing in the middle of the guild, surrounded by the Fairy Tail mages.

Lahar.

Jellal froze. Beside him, Erza tensed, gripping her sword tightly. Lahar held up his gloved hand. "Peace," he said, pushing his glasses up his nose. "I have not come to arrest Jellal. I bring news from the Magic Council."

Jellal gritted his teeth. "Continue," he ground out.

Lahar cleared his throat. "Jellal Fernandes, you are hereby pardoned from all your crimes due to your work in defeating dark guilds, and your recent encounter with Death. You are...free," he finished.

Jellal stood, frozen in shock. Beside him, Erza gasped. For a second, all was quiet. Then...

"Woohoo!"

"Jellal's free!"

"Erza can be happy now!"

The whole guild erupted into noice, cheering and laughing. Makarov sat at the bar, silently drinking his beer with a smile on his face.

Lahar walked past Jellal, pausing briefly to give him a silent stare, then walking out of Fairy Tail and disappearing into Magnolia.

Erza took Jellal's hand and dragged him into the guild, a wide smile across her face. Seeing her smile, made Jellal relax, and soon, he was smiling too.

The guild had calmed down to its usual ruckus, leaving Erza, Jellal, and Mirajane at the bar. Mira pulled out the Fairy Tail emblem and gestured to Jellal. "Where would you like it?" She asked sweetly.

"I'm joining the guild?" Jellal exclaimed, confused. Mira nodded. "Lahar told us that you had to join Fairy Tail to be freed. We can watch you, make sure nothing happens."

Jellal nodded in agreement. "That sounds like a good idea."

Mira pulled out the stamp. "What color, and where?" She asked.

Jellal smiled. "Over my heart, because you guys have really changed my heart in so many ways. And...Scarlet."

Erza blushed when he said that, and Mira giggled and winked.

Jellal unbuttoned the first 4 buttons of his shirt, exposing his chest. Mira leaned forward and pressed the stamp to his chest. It glowed red, and when Mira pulled away, the Fairy Tail emblem shone on his chest, as red as the hair of the woman he loved.

Finally, he felt at home.

Makarov came up to Jellal an hour later. He was still at the bar, alone this time, Erza left for Fairy Hills to go and change.

The master poked Jellal. "Come with me, boy," he said, ambling away. Jellal got up from the bar, following Makarov down a dimly lit hallway. They stopped at the first door.

"Natsu and the others found her on the way to you. They sent for help, and Jet came and retrieved her. She's injured, but she'll be ok." Makarov said, opening the door and showing a pink haired girl laying in the infirmary.

"Meredy!" Jellal exclaimed, stepping forward. Makarov put his hand out, stopping Jellal. "Don't wake her. She's very tired and still weak. You can visit her one she's awake."

Jellal nodded his thanks. "Thank you master, for everything."

Makarov smiled warmly. "It's not a problem when it comes to family."

Jellal returned to the main hall. He looked around, but couldn't spot a familiar redhead. He saw Lucy, sitting with Natsu, discreetly holding hands. He walked up to them.

"Lucy, have you seen Erza?" He asked. Lucy blushed. "She's still at Fairy Hills." Jellal smiled and thanked her.

I better go see how she's doing, Jellal thought to himself. He quickly exited the guild and began making his way to the dorms.

Jellal reached Fairy Hills just as the sun was setting, turning the sky a brilliant shad or orange. He quickly entered, going to Erza's room. She had shown him the way, once before, long ago, and he was surprised he could still remember.

He reached her door and knocked gently. She opened after a minute, revealing herself in a short white dress.

"Jellal?" She asked, her face turning as red as her hair.

"May I come in?" Jellal asked. She nodded and stepped back, allowing him to enter.

She closed the door, then walked past him to sit on the bed. "Jellal," she breathed, holding her hand out to him. He swallowed nervously, then walked forward.

He sat down on her bed next to her. She held his face in her hands. "I love you, you know? I always have, and I always will." He croaked out. She smiled, then leaned in and kissed him.

She grabbed her wildly, making her gasp, and crushed her against him. Their lips locked, tongues clashing, hardly breathing. Jellal leaned back until he was lying down, her straddling him. He gently traced her curves, reaching down her thighs to up her back. She shivered, hands going for the buttons on his shirt. Once they were all undone, she slid the shirt off his shoulders, dropping it on the floor.

Jellal slid his hand up her smooth legs, grasping her dress. He looked into her eyes, asking permission. She nodded.

He pulled the fabric off her body, leaving her in a lacy blue bra and matching panties. Jellal ran his hands up her body, and she trembled. She leaned in for another kiss, and suddenly, Jellal rolled over, pinning her to the bed.

Erza ran her hands up and down his smooth chest, tracing the lines and planes of his well defined chest. Jellal grasped her hips and pulled her against him. She moaned, passionate with lust. Jellal pulled away from her well loved kiss and buried his face in the crook of her neck, breathing her in. "Erza... I love you."

He pulled away and looked at her. She stared up at him, lust in her eyes. "I love you too, Jellal Fernandes."

His lips touched hers just as the sun went down, and the moon came out. Tonight was their night, wrapped in each other's embraces. A night of loving, and being loved. They wrapped themselves around eachother, breathing eachother in. This was a moment of bliss and euphoria, a moment that they'd never forget.

This was the life given to them, a life that would be never be taken away.

While the couple lay basking in their own love for eachother, tangled up in skin and sheets, a huge deer, the color of a forest, stood, miles away, looking up at the full moon.
