Thank the Wyvern

Rewritten. Ending changed as well as rating! I kept a lot the same since it was my first story and I don't want to completely rewrite it.

Still totally OOC though XD

You can totally tell where I completely rewrote pieces. XD Oh well. Enjoy

Jellal groaned as he finished yet another coughing fit. He lay in his bed at Crime Sorceries' headquarters in the middle of winter. He was stuck with the flu while his teammates were out hunting dark guilds without him. He shivered as the strong wind of their mountain hideout's daily weather burst open a window. As he tried to sit up to close it another fit of coughing left him weak and tired. He fell back into bed and threw the covers over his head; huddling in a ball as he shivered in a failed attempt to keep warm.

Meanwhile Erza was hiking in that very same mountain on a mission hunting down a snow wyvern that had been eating the surrounding town's livestock. As she climbed the steep winding path up the mountain a fierce growl stopped her in her tracks. Erza turned around to be nose to nose with the beast. She leaped back reequipping in midair into her Heaven's Wheel Armor and sending a circle of magic swords straight at the wyvern. As it flew upward to dodge, one struck its back foot causing it to roar in rage and send an icy blast of frozen fire from its mouth. Erza blocked the roar with two of her swords. The collision causing a cloud of frost to appear. She used the explosion to her advantage and as the wyvern was confused and trying to find her blindly she struck. Erza sent a sword straight through the back of its neck. With a final growl the beast fell to the ground and died. Erza took one of its scales to show that the beast was truly dead to the citizens. Just as she was about to turn around a blizzard set in. Knowing that there was no shelter farther down the mountain she continued up it.

Jellal groaned as another icy blast came through the now fully open window. He had heard the fight and had assumed that a guild wizard had come to slay the wyvern that lived nearby. Now that all was quiet he hoped the mage would leave and he would not be discovered. Unfortunately, a blizzard began. Jellal sighed as another round of coughing exhausted him. He fell asleep hoping the wizard would not find him

Erza shivered as she continued her treacherous climb. She stopped as she saw a light in the distance. A house? She asked herself confused. She ran faster and a fort like building came into view. As she walked to the front door she saw the Crime Sorceries' emblem on the side of the building." Jellal?!" She exclaimed. She quickly opened the door and let herself in. It was cold inside so she lit the fire. Erza heard coughing coming from up the stairs." Jellal? Ultear? Meredy?" She called out. Only silence met her. Erza went upstairs, following the sounds of coughing, and opened the door to where she found Jellal. She closed the open window sighing at his carelessness until she walked over and saw him. Erza took in his pale face and obvious fever. She guessed that his team was out on a mission and being sick, he stayed behind. Erza frowned as Jellal shivered and whimpered in his sleep. She sat down on the edge of the bed and rubbed his arms. They were freezing. Erza got up and took a blanket from the room over. As she put it on him and tucked the edges in closely he stirred. He slowly opened his eyes and when he saw Erza they widened." Erza?" He croaked out.
"Yes Jellal, it's me." She replied.
"How?" He asked as he tried to sit up but could not find the strength so he gave up and laid back again.
"Don't strain yourself. "Erza ordered; putting a hand on his chest in emphasis forcing him to fully lay down. He nodded and she answered his question.
"I was on a mission to kill the wyvern that had been terrorizing the town below the mountain. Just as I was about to leave this blizzard set in and as I tried to find shelter I stumbled upon your hideout. "He nodded in reply.; relaxing and closing his eyes. "There is a spare bedroom down the hall. You can sleep there tonight if the blizzard doesn't stop by nightfall." Jellal told Erza. She nodded and got up and headed down the stairs to the kitchen.
Erza opened cabinets searching for medicine. She figured Jellal needed some to get better but would not have the strength to get it himself. When she finally gave up and realized there was nothing medicine related she grabbed a towel and a bucket of cool water and returned to Jellal's side. He had fallen asleep. Erza tried to get her courage up. She knew that with no medicine she would have to use traditional tactics; hence the towel and water but she was embarrassed. She felt nervous to touch Jellal even if he was sick and needed her help. She was in love with him after all. Even if she hid it.

Another whimper from said man convinced her. She took the towel and dumped it in the water. She twisted it to remove excess water and placed it on his forehead. Erza dabbed the towel across his face trying to cool him off so that his fever would go down. Erza noticed fairly soon that his temperature had remained unchanged. She would have to take it up a notch. She took a deep breath and started moving the towel from his forehead to his cheek and down his neck. By now she was blushing. She continued this path seeing if it would help.

She placed her hand on his forehead and sighed in relief. The fever had gone down a few degrees but not nearly enough. She would have to do more.

Erza pulled the covers down to Jellal's waist. She frowned when he whimpered and curled into himself. She hated to see him sick but another part loved to see him this vulnerable. Erza attempted to get him to lie down straight so she could help him but he was too stubborn even in sleep. She let out a sigh and got on the bed. She straddled him and pinned him down. Erza took the helm of his shirt and hiked it up to his neck. She soaked the towel in the bucket once again and twisted to get the extra water out. Then she placed the towel in Jellal's chest. She trailed it across his collarbones, down his stomach and over his ribs. His temperature dropped steadily as she continued this circuit. Erza was blushing madly but continued since it was helping.

However, when she accidentally trailed it over his nipple he gave a half groan half moan and Erza quickly jumped off the bed in shock. His temperature had gone down to almost normal about a minute before. Erza had wanted to be certain so she had not stopped.

Once she got her breathing to steady she realized he was still asleep. Her curiosity was killing her. She was not experienced in romantic things so his reaction had surprised her. She kind of wanted to get him to make that noise again.

She walked back over to his sleeping form and placed her hand on his stomach. She trailed her fingers over his abdominal muscles memorizing the muscles and glided her hand over his heart. She smiled when he sighed in his sleep. The steady beat soothed her just like when they were children and she would sleep with her head on his chest. She traced his collarbone and the contours of his neck in appreciation. He really had grown into a fine man she thought to herself affectionately. Now with more confidence she circled his nipple and grinned mischievously when he quietly groaned. She scraped her nail over it and to her surprise he moaned loudly and arched his back slightly off the bed. His face was flushed not with fever but something else. His azure hair was stuck to the sweat on his face and his eyes were squeezed shut and his breathing had become uneven. Erza chuckled and repeated the motion and to her delight he reacted the same way once more. She could not help but watch his reactions triumphantly and with awe. He was beautiful to her.

Suddenly his emerald eyes opened and he looked at her straight into her brown eyes and said her name. Erza back peddled and landed with a thud on the floor. "Oh my god! I am so sorry! I don't know what came over me!" She started to get up sprouting apologies but stopped when he interrupted her.

"Erza come here." Jellal stated calmly. She looked up in shock to see him sitting up completely shirtless with his arm outstretched to her and a slight blush on his face. Erza got up and took his hand and to her surprise he pulled her flush against him into a hug and buried his face into the crook of her neck. "How long where you wake?" She asked timidly." I never fell asleep once you got here." He replied. Erza looked at him in shock. "Why didn't you stop me?" She demanded. "Three reasons. One I knew it would help my fever, and two I trust you with my life. "Jellal stated. Erza smiled and then realized he had only said two reasons. "What was the third?" She asked. He blushed a dark red and she looked at him quizzically. "Well... Um... The third reason was… uh… well... I didn't really mind." He half mumbled out. "Didn't mind?" She asked confused. He took a deep breath, his face turning a darker shade of red. "I enjoyed it." Erza looked at him in shock. "Really?" She asked." Well yeah, I mean you saw how I reacted..." Jellal trailed off not looking her in the eyes. Erza suddenly broke out into a fierce grin and pinned him down by straddling him once more.

"Jellal. Why did it feel good?" Erza asked him with a glint in her eye. He gulped in response. "Well because it was you doing those things to me". He said quietly. "Why because it was me?" She probed smiling. Jellal sighed and looked up at her.

"Because I love you." He whispered. Erza smiled down at him. "I love you too." She told him. Then leaned down and softly kissed him. He kissed her back. When they stopped he looked at her strangely. "What?" Erza asked. "I don't understand it. Why do you love me? After everything I did to you... I mean I love you because you have always been there for me and you never gave up on me. I love your strength and kindness and your beautiful spirit. That makes sense to me but I don't get why you care about me at all much less love me. Shouldn't you hate me for what I've done?" Jellal asked her. She pulled him in for another kiss. She pulled back a second later and answered him. "I love you because I know what you did was not your fault and you were fighting Ultear's control in the tower. I know that if you had not been Natsu would have lost within seconds and so would I have. I love you because you are a fighter and always have. I love your sense of justice, your loyalty, and everything about you. That's why I love you Jellal." She said with finality.

"Erza..." Jellal stuttered looking at her in awe, emotion swirling in his eyes. There was a single tear sliding down his face. He flipped them over fiercely kissed her, pouring his emotions into the kiss. She eagerly returned it and threaded her fingers through his hair.

Jellal pulled back after a second." We should stop. I don't want to get you sick too." He states, slightly out of breath. Erza smiled, it was obvious that he really didn't' want to stop and was just trying to be responsible. "Well. I don't care. Kiss me." She demanded. Jellal's eyes widened but then he smiled. "Very well. He returned to kissing her, but she noticed he seemed to be struggling to remain above her. His fever may have broken, but he was still weakened. She quickly flipped them around, her thighs pressing into his hips. The abrupt movement made her push up against him and he groaned deeply. She blushed when she felt his arousal. But soon a mischievous grin took over. She purposefully wiggled her hips against him and he gasped. "Erza." He groaned out. "You're killing me." He groaned again as she began to blatantly grind against him.

Erza fully removed his shirt and began to unbutton his pants. His hands caught hers on his belt. "Are you sure?" He questioned, looking into her eyes. "Yes." She stated firmly. He nodded and brought his hands to her waist. His fingers dug into her skin as she removed the rest of clothing from his body. He turned bright red and looked away as she trailed her eyes over him. All the way from his head to his toes. Erza grabbed his chin and forced him to look at her as she reequipped out of all her clothing. He gasped and it was her turn to blush as he looked at her. "Gorgeous..." He seemed to whisper to himself. She chuckled and laid down flush against him, his arousal digging into her hip. He kissed her again as his hands explored her body. Running over her sides and back, and then palming her breasts as she sat up. Jellal brought his mouth to her and began to leave marks over her neck and collarbone.

"Jellal!" Erza cried out as he took her breast to his mouth, tonging the sensitive flesh. His movements were controlled and thorough as he flipped them over and settled between her thighs. Erza looked at him confused before he nipped her thigh and made his way to her womanhood, licking and teasing her. She gasped as he slipped a finger inside. "So wet." He commented hoarsely. "Jellal, more." She whispered and in response he skillfully brought her to the edge. His tongue and fingers reaching deep, as he quickly found where she was most sensitive. "Please." She begged and he nipped her clit. Erza screamed his name as she flew over. Jellal pulled back and kissed her once again, his tongue slipping into her mouth. "Erza." He groaned as she pressed herself against him. Once more flipping them over, Jellal settled beneath her. "I think you may need to do the majority of the work." He stated, trying to catch his breath. He was obviously still fatigued.

Erza nodded and getting over her surprise at the sudden change of positions, she decided to take advantage of the opportunity. She leaned over and marked his neck with her teeth. He gasped in pleasure as she continued to leave marks on his skin, steadily trailing down his body until she stopped in-between his legs. Smirking she swiped her tongue over his shaft, making his eyes role back at the sudden pleasure. Grabbing him at the base, she started a steady pace as she continued to tongue his head. She scraped her teeth gently against him and he threw his head back at the mix of pain and pleasure. "Erza. Please!" He groaned. Smirking she stopped suddenly, making Jellal groan. "Wh..Ah!" His question was cut off as she quickly sheathed him inside her. "Oh, Jellal." She purred after the initial pain left. Jellal was still in shock and could only respond with a strained moan. Adjusting quickly, Erza set a pace as she rode him fiercely. It was all Jellal could do in his weakened state to hold on to her hips and try not to come immediately. Her inner muscles began to squeeze him and Jellal was a goner. He threw his head back and gasped. Erza followed him over the edge.

Afterward found the two curled up against each other. Giving Erza a gentle kiss on the forehead, Jellal settled with her in his arms. "I love you." Erza states simply, pressing a kiss to his heart. Jellal's arms tightened around her. "And I love you Erza." He responded and the two fell asleep.

So still not satisfied with this, but it's better than it was.

Second lemon ever. Not great. Eh… Thoughts?

*Goes and hides in a corner of shame*
