"No."

"Erza…"

"No, Natsu! I refuse to accept this! You can't just give up!"

Natsu raised Erza's chin and looked into her eyes. She was doing her best to hold back her tears, but the pools in the corners of her eyes betrayed her.

"I'm not giving up." He defended. "I have to stop Zeref. Otherwise everybody is going to die. You, me, the guild, nobody's going to survive."

"But why does it have to be you?!" Erza shouted. "There has to be another way! I can't let you do this alone! I won't!"

Natsu looked past Erza to their friends, nearly all of them were unconscious. Others were struggling to their feet or tending to the wounded. Even Erza was on her knees. He was the only one still standing. "I have to end this on my own."

"Why?!"

The redhead's anguished scream nearly broke him, but he smiled through the pain both in and out of his heart. "Because he's my brother."

Erza, realizing that nothing she could say would persuade him, looked down at the ground. When she started to sniff, Natsu bent down and pressed his forehead to hers.

"You're a fool." She sniffed. "A complete and utter fool."

"Yeah." Natsu smiled apologetically. "I know. I'm sorry." Natsu took off his scarf and wrapped it around Erza's neck. "I'll come back for this. So hold onto it for me alright?"

The redhead nodded in acceptance, tightly clutched the scarf as if it were going to float away. "You better."

Natsu gave her one last smile before turning to face Zeref.

Tried to make this one a little angsty and a little ambiguous. The best thing about these drabbles is I can write them on the fly, but that can also be a little hard without the right subject. Hopefully it was effective enough.
