Chapter 2

Beautiful

Beautiful

That was what best described Erza Scarlet, Titania. She was strong, courageous, beautiful and best of all, kind-hearted.

She was a leader in many ways. When the guild was down without their master, she was the one who step in charge...even though she was a little bossy. When Natsu didn't know how to read, she was the one who taught him...even if her methods were a little too extreme. She was a role model, a older sister, teacher, nakama and rival to Gray and Natsu.

She would gladly throw away her life if it means saving a fellow human or nakama. This was one of the qualities that inspired Natsu to surpass her, to gain her respect.

She would stand up when she falls. Wipe away the tears that she cries and take her sword to fight once again. She had a never-say-die attitude that rubbed off her from Natsu.

She would smile and be strong for others even though she was broken inside. She was never one to show weakness. Another quality that Natsu loves.

Even though she is a monster most of the time, she is still a girl by nature. She screams like one, she eats like one, she packs like one, she loves things that the next girl loves. Yada yada...Almost everything that Erza is, Natsu loves.

When Natsu saw how Jellal and his minions had deeply hurt Erza, he has made it his life mission to make she she wouldn't shed another tear. Erza would laughed at his silly logic and ruffle his pink hair.

Natsu didn't like people laughing at him and his thinking but...when Erza laughed for the first time since the whole tower of heaven scenario. She simply looked dazzling.

Her pearly whites shone like milky pearls. Her long beautiful scarlet hair shone with radiance. Her eyes that once were dull, lit up with joy. And it was all thanks to him.

Natsu felt something he never thought he'll feel again. His heart thumping in his ribcage. Lisanna did this to him when they were young. Now when he saw her again, not a fragment of romantic feelings were left. Only sibling love.

Natsu sworn on the ' grave' of Lisanna that he would not let anyone dear to him die. But as Natsu watched helplessly as Erza entered the lacrima, he realized how close Titania was to his heart and his heart shattered into a million pieces. Erza was going to die. He had failed in his promise. His nakama was going to die because he cannot do a bloody thing. As Lucy said " What's the use of magic if I can't use it to protect my friends?"

Maybe that was what drove home to stand on his two keys and pull Erza out. It was no easy feat mind you. Not that Erza was heavy, she was pretty light. It's just that the lacrima was rejecting him as he was not strong enough. Even with Jellal the bastard's help.

As they sat in the river bank. Natsu made Erza promise she will never do such a thing ever again. Erza almost never break a promise. Almost. If she had a say, she wouldn't. Her pride is at stake here.

Natsu thought Erza was going to kiss him as she rest her forehead on his. But blast it all. His and her nakamas just had to ruin that.

" Beautiful..."

Erza's head snapped up in shock. Her eyes wander around the room and landed on a certain fire breathing pinkette. Did he just say...no...that's not possible...this is Natsu we're talking about...he probably doesn't even know what 2+2 equals to!

Her eyes traced the outline of his body. It was covered with bandages...all because of her. He just had to do the noble thing and come in to the battle between Jellal and her. She rescued her like a damsel in distress from the lacrima.

Since she was a little girl, Erza had oftened dreamt of her prince in shining armour, coming in to sweep her off her feet into his loving embrace. Natsu was so not the prince she had in mind. But she was thankful and grateful.

' Damn that Natsu...' Erza placed a her over her heart. It was beating at a accelerated speed. Her face was flushed and she was breathing lightly. Ohmigod. What is wrong with her?! She-

" Erza...so...b..bea...uti...ful...*snore*..I...swea r...you...won't...e..ver...cry...a..gain...*yawn*y ou...are...p...precious...to...m...e..."

Erza blushed crimson. Natsu...that idiot! Does he even know what he is talking about?! The effect of his words to her?!

But still...her heart melted at his little declaration...it's just in his nature to make people happy...silly little Natsu...that sweet little honey dragon of hers-I mean ours...

Erza bent down to natsu's eye level. She smoothed down his hair that is obstructing her view of his handsome face...did she just say handsome?! she rested her head on his bed. Staring at his sleeping figure. His chest moving up and down deeply. He was drooling...he must be thinking about food...hahaha...so typical of Natsu. She smild faintly. " Natsu...I haven't yet thank you properly for saving me...for coming to my aid when I needed you most...so...thank you Natsu Dragneel...my fearsome Dragon who just so happens to turn out to be my prince in shining armor..." she then rested her lips on his for a moment.

As Erza retraced her lips she briefly heard a sigh and " Mmmm...taste just like strawberries...Erza's favorite..."

The nest chapter will be C for Captive/captured. Erza might be a bit of an IOC.
