Sleeping Beauty (Jerza Edition)
A few months after Fairy Tail had disbanded, Erza was heading to the Magic Council. She took a detour and stopped at Crime Sorciere's (temporary) base to see Meredy, talk to Angel, spar with Cobra-alright, alright! She only went to see Jellal, but she would die before admitting it.
And while she and Jellal were having a nice, pleasant conversation about random things, all of the other members mysteriously disappeared (Meredy and Angel had drag Cobra since he wouldn't cooperate and Hoteye and Racer had to carry a sleeping Midnight out) until they were left all alone.
As night began to set in, Jellal, who was exhausted since Crime Sorciere had taken down a dark guild earlier that day, ended up falling asleep in Erza's lap.
Erza blinked in surprise and looked down. She couldn't help but notice how…peaceful Jellal looked in his sleep, unlike other times when he was too busy being worried or guilty about something or the other to simply give himself a break. Blushing slightly, she began to run her fingers gently through his azure hair. It felt so soft and silky.
Her hands moved from his hair to his face. Smoothing out creases on his forehead, Erza barely noticed when her fingers moved downwards and traced his lips.
Cautiously, Erza lowered her head slowly until their lips joined in a gentle kiss.
Jellal stirred slightly as he felt a pleasurable pressure rack through his body. He opened his eyes and they automatically widened when he saw Erza's face mere inches from his own, her eyes tightly closed. Her lips were pressed against his and her hands gently combed through his hair.
Every rational part of his brain was screaming at him to push her away. He didn't deserve this, he didn't deserve her love, her warmth and he certainly did not deserve her kiss. And yet…Jellal still felt reluctant to do so. He had already pushed her away once. And that had been painful enough.
He closed his eyes once more.
They would enjoy this moment, while they could.
