(A little Author's note) Hello all! And I'm not referring to myself. I am Sol. Allmaster Sol. I'm new to and this is one of the first fanfics I've posted on here. I may not be one of the best writers but I hope whoever reads this will enjoy it. So here it is, a NaZa fanfic!

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'


There he stood, holding her in his arms, having just having saved her from a choice that could have caused sadness amongst their guildmates. 'Natsu…' thought Erza as she looked up to the dragon slayer. 'I was lost in that sea of magic energy and you were still able to find me…' Natsu fell to his knees as their friends started running over to see they had survived. Erza had tried to sacrifice herself to save her friends from the Tower of Heaven exploding by using her body to become part of the lachrima that was the tower and shooting the overflowing magic energy skyward to prevent an explosion that could have wiped out her and her friends. Natsu had saved her and they now knelt in front of each other. "I feel the same way…" Natsu managed to say as he started tearing up. Erza thought back to what she had said to Natsu as she was entering the lachrima. "I can't imagine my life without you and all the others in Fairy Tail" she remembered. "Don't do anything like that again…" said Natsu through his crying. "I won't…" said Erza as she felt tears welling up. "Promise!" yelled Natsu. Erza was touched at his concern and his tears over her. She smiled softly and put her hand on his cheek and pressed her forehead to his. "I promise… Natsu…" she replied. It was in that moment she thought back to a conversation she had with Mirajane.


(Flashback)

"Sooooooo Erza," Mira said. "Have you ever considered finding a boyfriend?" Erza blushed and sighed softly "No. I just don't have time to find someone" she said returning her attention to her strawberry cheesecake. Mira tsked and sighed "Erza there's always time to find that someone special." Erza shook her head. Why did the guild's matchmaker have to try and set her up with a guy? "Besides," Mira continued "you may not even have to look for someone. The perfect guy may be closer than you think."

Erza blinked. She didn't really think about having a boyfriend, let alone finding one. She thought about the romance novels she read for a moment. Maybe she could experience the things in the books … she blushed heavily and shook the thoughts from her mind 'No Erza.' She thought. 'you can't be thinking about those books right now' Mirajane grinned at her blushing. She was making progress. "Have someone in mind?" she asked. Erza blushed more "N-No… it's nothing…" she said, trying to hide her blush. Mira smiled "Well I have someone in mind for you." She said. Erza looked at her, slightly intrigued "R-Really?" she asked "Who?" Mira smiled softly "Natsu" she stated. "Natsu?" asked Erza. Mira nodded "Yes. Natsu. Come on Erza you like him don't you?" Erza blushed more. "I only think of Natsu as a friend… Nothing more than that." Mirajane huffed "Lies! I know you like him. You just don't know it yet." Erza sighed softly "I think I would know if I liked Natsu." Mira sighed and pinched Erza's nose suddenly, catching Titania by surprise and shaking her head side to side "You like Natsu. Admit it. Just think about him. Only about him. What he's like, how he looks. He's perfect for you. Think about him. DO IT!" she yelled as she released Erza's nose. Erza blinked as she rubbed her nose. Mira was obviously fixated on this. She sighed "Alright. I'll think about Natsu for a little while … just never do that to me again." She said giving Mira a little glare.

Mira smiled sweetly "Perfect. It has to be 5 minutes of Natsu thoughts." she said. "F-Five minutes? You said only one!" said Erza as she blushed. Mira tapped her nose "What are you talking about Erza? I said 5." she said innocently. Erza sighed "You're really set on this aren't you…?" she asked. Mira nodded with a twinkle in her eyes. Erza shook her head "Fine. 5 minutes" she said a little defeated. Mira giggled. "Only thoughts about Natsu." "I know…" she said and started thinking about Natsu. Natsu. He was a talented fighter. She knew someday the strength hidden inside him would come out. He cared for his friends in Fairy Tail. He was strong and kind hearted. He had a well-toned body. She was sure he was loving …. Any girl would be lucky to ….. Wait, what was she thinking? This is Natsu. He wouldn't think of women in any way like that … would he?

She blushed making Mira grin and giggle "See? You do like Natsu." Erza blushed more "N-No I don't…" Mira grinned wider "Oh really? Then why did you stutter? Why are you blushing?" she asked. Erza got up "I don't have time for this… I'm leaving" she said as she walked away. Mira giggled "Three… Two…" Erza came back and got her cake "And I'm taking this with me." She said as she went off again. Mira giggled again. "One. And Erza!" she called. Erza sighed "What?" "When the time comes you'll know how you feel!" Erza sighed. She didn't think a day like that would ever come. Little did she know that day would come.


Here, at this moment, Erza finally understood what she meant when Mira said that. Natsu had defeated Jellal, save her from a nightmare she long had endured, and saved her from death, and being here in this touching moment with Natsu, holding his face in her hand and pressing his forehead to his. She knew how she felt right now. She loved him. She loved that pink haired idiot. She smiled softly. She wanted to tell him how she felt. "Natsu I… Can I tell you something?" she asked, though a bit quietly. She wasn't used to doing things like this. "Anything Erza…" replied Natsu. "Natsu I…. I… I love you…. I… I guess… I always have… I just never realized up until this point…" she said softly as she pulled Natsu in for a hug. He was so warm. "Hey Erza?" asked Natsu. "Y-Yes Natsu?" Natsu smiled softly and pulled back from Erza's arms. "I love you too Erza"

Erza stared at him. He loved her. "Oh Natsu…" the feelings were overwhelming as she pulled Natsu in for a passionate kiss. Much to her surprise he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly as they kissed, kissing her back with equal passion. Then as they kissed, Natsu surprised her again by pressing his tongue to her lips. A little unsure about it, she opened her mouth letting Natsu slipped his tongue in. Erza shivered a bit and moaned softly at his taste. He tasted surprisingly good. She moaned softly as their tongues battled for dominance. Then in the middle of their passionate deep kiss Natsu pulled back making Erza groan a little.

"Hey Erza, I need to talk to you about something. It's important if were gonna have a relationship." Natsu said. Erza nodded. "Of course Natsu. What is it?" "Well … when dragon slayers find someone love, they have to mark them as their mate. And the mating thing is for life. Would you be okay with that?" Natsu asked. Erza nodded again "I'm okay with it Natsu. I … I want to be with you…" Natsu smiled "Okay then. Thank you Erza. I'm going to mark you now, it uh… it may sting a little. So brace yourself." Erza nodded. "Alright Natsu but … What about the others?" she asked. Natsu looked behind them. Lucy waved over "Don't mind us! We'll just go back to the hotel… Just uh … Keep doing what you're doing. We'll … We'll leave now" She called over as she grabbed Gray and Happy and dragged them off. "Damn, does this mean Erza's only gonna beat up on me now!?" shouted Gray.

Erza giggled "Well I suppose we don't have to worry about them now. Natsu grinned "Now on to the marking." he said with a grin. With that he bit into Erza neck. Erza winced a bit as a small burning sensation rose on her neck. It took a few minutes but then the sensation went away and Natsu let go of her neck and smiled "There. All done. Now you're my mate. I'll be honest, I didn't think you'd decide to become my mate so soon." He confessed. Erza smiled softly "Well I supposed that this would be better than a regular relationship." Natsu nodded. "Yeah. Mating is for life you know." Erza smiled more "I guessed as much. But I'm happy with it. I'd get to spend the rest of my life with you." Natsu smiled softly and kissed her "Yeah… I love you Erza." "I love you too Natsu" Erza said smiling. "Now Natsu, can we get back to that kiss we were having before you stopped us?" she asked. Natsu nodded "Of course. Anything for you my beloved mate" He replied. Erza blushed a little at that but smiled and kissed Natsu passionately again and they continued the kiss they had before. It was truly one of the happiest moments in Erza's life. 'Oh Natsu … I love you' she thought as they deep kissed happily into the night.

(A little author's note) Well? How was that? I'm thinking about adding more to this but I'm stuck on whether or not to add more to the story or leaving it as a oneshot. Let me know what I should do in the reviews, any ways I could improve my writing (making the stories longer and such) or what I should do with this fanfic. Many thanks to all of you. Allmaster, signing off.
