A Man's Pride

Jellal was a man of pride. He had confidence in anything that he did and said. Coming from a rich family helped with his pride, of course, though he was not as arrogant as some people believed him to be. No, he was an avid supporter in all things right for the world.

Then came along Erza Knightwalker the viciously lethal red head that was a sexy as she was deadly, so of course she and Jellal butted heads-all the time. She was easily his biggest rival in all of Edolas when it came to matters of pride and confidence.

Though, he supposed, that was why they were such a good couple. While despite his pride he could still act upon his emotions, though that did often lead him to trouble, she acted solely upon logical thought and dead set reasoning. Seeing as Jellal's family was political, every first born in their family went on to help govern the country of Edolas, she served as the perfect woman he needed. When he needed to make sure he was on track she would argue with him and only except the most well thought out and set in stone reasoning he had to offer, nothing less would suffice. The Knightwalker family also held a high standard, coming from old noble blood that dated back centuries; their families had befriended each other once the Knightwalker family had moved back. They, the Knightwalker's, had to move out of Edolas for Erza's father to delegate foreign affairs. Though he was the leader of Edolas' army, Jellal's father trusted no one else as much as he had trusted her father so he had him take charge of those matters.

Now, Jellal lay hunched down close to the ground as he surveyed his surroundings. Gun fire and explosions went off around him as he struggled to look for her. If she found him then he would be a goner, and he was not about to go down. Not with what was at stake here, no he couldn't risk be defeated. He heard Sugarboy call out to him, yelling out his code name- Mystogan, which he only did when she was near.

"Damn, where is she?" Jellal yelled loudly inside of his head. He just needed to make it a bit farther and then he'd meet up with Sugarboy at their base and back each other up. Erza had Hughes on her side, but he was an easy kill. He had died hours ago, and all that remained was him, Sugarboy, and that damned hunter Erza. Hughes had only managed to get onto the deadly force called Erza's team by beating the other two boys at a game of "rock-paper-he-knows-he-cheated-damn-it".

Suddenly he was shot, and he let out a loud cry. It was straight in the chest, and he looked up to see her maliciously grinning over his dead body.

"Amazing Erza, you got him again!" Hughes yelled with booming laughter. The red haired demon that Jellal called his "girlfriend" looked over at him, smirking at his grimacing face.

"I thought you said you were a beginner?" Jellal glared at her while he spoke.

"What can I say? I'm a lying, horrible; murder some girlfriend who finds joy in viciously killing her boyfriend." She shrugged before rising to her feet. Erza stretched her arms above her head and Jellal appreciatively raked his eyes up and down her scantily clad form. All she was in was a black bikini-top and a piece of cloth that shouldn't be called "shorts". He smirked a bit as her long hair slipped over and her scarf moved just enough for him barely see the hickey he had left there. It was fading and that just would not do for him. Those lecherous men at their school needed to know that she was his, regardless of the fact that they (save for the three of them there) were scared shitless of her.

"Better watch your back, Your Highness; she might just off you one day." Sugarboy teased and threw an arm around Jellal's shoulder. He shook his head at his friend's antics and rose to his feet, though he knew that Sugarboy had a valid point. He looked over to see Erza sauntering away, heading towards his room- which she claimed for herself when she came over despite how he said it should just be "their" room since the majority of the time she was at his house anyway- and turn to throw a coy look at him.

Jellal smirked, knowing that look all too well before turning to his friends who were already heading out the door. Jellal walked over and wrapped his arms around his Erza's waist calling out to his friends about how they might want to leave. Right as Sugarboy was leaving he became scarred for life.

"Horny ass bastard," She said while hitting him Sugarboy guessed since Jellal grunted.

"You know you like it." He replied. Sugarboy couldn't get out that door fast enough.

Poor Sugarboy xD I love this ship so much that you have no idea. Besides Jerza they are my top OTP. Jerza and Mystowalker both tie for the top place.
