Protect You

It was a cold dark place.

Erza had been taken as bait for Jellal to reveal himself to the world that he was alive. She didn't eve think he would come.

But in the darkness of the night he did. Erza was drained of her magic.

These people took away magic just to power their weapons. And sadly Erza gave them enough power to almost destroy a city.

Really they wanted Jellal's power because he could cast the most powerful spells.

She didn't know what happened but he did come but he didn't fight back. He gladly gave up his magic just to have her set free.

Which, didn't happen.

As Erza woke up she was back in her room. But this time she wasn't alone.

"Je-Jellal!" She shouted seeing him on the wall. He was chained up and she wanted to get him out.

"I'm fine Erza." He said. She ran to him and hugged him. Nuzzling his face.

"Why did you come for me?!" She asked.

Jellal laughed. Even though he was in pain. "I'll always come for you." He said.

Erza tried to get him out of the chains but they were tight.

"Don't...waste your time." He said. "They need me for their weapons. I'll gladly do it as long as you get yours back." He said.

"But! No! I can't let you do this!" She was crying. "Not again." Just like when they were young. He was always there for her.

For everyone. Jellal did everything to protect them.

"It's fine." Jellal said. "Anything for my Fairy." He smiled.

Erza looked up at him. He still looked out for her. He still loved her. And she loved him. "Jellal!" She hugged him again tears fell down her cheeks.

"Please Erza. Don't cry." He said. "I still can't stand to see you cry." He remembered what he did. Simon. He killed him. All because he loved Erza. Because if he didn't let darkness control and consume him, he wouldn't have nearly killed her.

"Please." He said softly.

Erza did stop crying. But only to look at him in the eyes. "I will can protect myself now. I'm a big girl." She smiled. "But thank you. My dear friend." She she said.

Jellal head back his own tears just to look cool. But it didn't work. It never did for Erza.

"Erza. Sing to me." He said. "Like when we were kids." He wanted to hear her voice. Burn it into his brain.

"Alright." She said. She sat on the ground next to him and started to sing.

"Don't you cry, my little boy. You don't need to be a soldier now.

I'll be right here always, protecting you through everything.

And if something happens to me, I'll still be here with you dear.

I'll be the sun. You be the light. I'm in the dark. You become the night.

I'll protect you. I'll protect you. I'll- I'll always, protect you, my little soldier boy."

Over the next few days, Erza sang Jellal that song. And she sang it to herself when he was taken away.

She wished, prayed, that someone would come for her.

For the both of them.

And finally, someone did.
