Hello my dearest readers. I know I haven't been active lately. But with me graduating high school, trying to secure a job and thinking about college, I'm uber busy. Plus my writing career is something I want to accomplish, instead of it being "the one that got away "I'm super excited for when Jellal comes back since Angel has appeared. Anyways, in celebration of my 4-year anniversary on Fanfiction. I shall write a long Jerza one-shot, granted while it may have a lemon or two, they won't be good, I want to save the really juicy, really intimate love for my upcoming Vampfic. And though my anniversary was on July 13th of last year, I'm going to do my very best. Even though I'm just now getting back to this
R&R.
The first part of this one-shot will be in Jellal's perspective and transition from his and Erza's relationship. Also don't kill me if this makes you super pissed, or seem like Mashima's work.
Oh. And this first part in italics is Jellal's narration on the past. The one taking place currently will be in normal.
Okay enjoy~
Jellal's POV-
Ever since I was a small boy, I've lived a well-off life. My mother was really the only ones besides my maternal grandparents that really gave a damn about me. My mother, Evelyn Fernandes was a beautiful woman, whom I inherited most of my looks from, from my azure hair to my unique green-brown eyes. Even the unique birthmark over my right eye, my mother hailed from a wealthy family, the Fernandes were a family of successful entrepreneurs and businessmen and women. I was an only child but wasn't spoiled. I loved my mother very much.
It was a peaceful and happy life. But problems can always arise in the worst ways.
The problem was my father. My father was someone who claimed that he loved my mother very much, but that was all a farce to get money. My mom believed in him up until I was approximately three years old, when she caught him and a mistress in bed. What was worse was that later learned that they tried to poison me. She called the police and took me to the hospital where I was thankfully saved. My mother soon divorced my 'father' and we were set to move from Crocus to Magnolia to live a more peaceful life.
Alas… not all things work out as one plans them to. My wretched father hired a hit man to take revenge on my mother for getting him 25 years to life. It happened in a car 'accident'. Oh how I hated my father. I was only six years old when I saw my mother hit by the assassin's car. Civilians helped get us an ambulance. The doctors tried all they could but it was unfruitful, my mom died after three hours in surgery.
At the funereal I cried for hours. I gave a farewell speech to my mother. We buried her in Magnolia where the family moved to. I promised I visit her as often as I could and tell her all my problems.
I was devastated. I hated him. I really hated my father, he's brought me nothing but sorrow and pain. After that I fell into a state of depression. I refused to attend school because it was too painful to leave my room most times. So my grandparents hired tutors for me. This last until I was thirteen when I was set to start middle school. My grandparents believed that it was high time I got back In touch with society and enrolled me in Fairy Tail Academy. It was somewhat both a public and private school. It tended pre-K to 12th grade, I was nervous, since it's been a long time since I actually socialized with people outside rich kids at parties who were snobbish and didn't know pain. I hated them.
I was convinced that I would be happy. Kids saw me as a rich kid who would cause problems right off the bat. So I sat alone at lunch, never really talked to anyone, even took the brunt of delinquents like Destructive Goth Macbeth 'Midnight; Prayers, corrupt rule follower Lahar Era and his lackey Mest Gryder, and older delinquent track star wannabe Sawyer 'Racer' Tracks. They use to push me down the stairs during break, beat me up and wrote humiliating things on the board and my desk. No one, not even the teachers, would lend me a hand. So for the next two months, I endured. I convinced my grandparents to rent me an apartment, it was nice but very lonely.
One day when I was sitting in the library reading a book on astrology. I've always loved the stars and all stuff like that. They can create such great centers for stories and myths. I was enjoying a particular book on a story about a Goddess of Light named Mavis Vermillion and her star-crossed relationship with a Cursed God named Zeref.
It was getting really good and I was really into it when I heard the voice of Macbeth speak loudly, though not enough to get scolded by the librarian, he seemed agitated. "Come on Titania, why don't you ever want to hang out with me? We could have a great time together!" He said rather suggestively. I normally would mind my own business and hope the jackass didn't find me. I wanted to help the mysterious maiden but I just got kicked in the stomach by Lahar for 'being a tad late to gym. So like a coward I hid in the shadows.
It was then my fate's time started ticking. I heard the sound of a slap and someone falling down. I winced, from the sound of it, the girl hit pretty hard, I heard some cursing and then two steps of footsteps, one getting farther away and the other moving closer. I prayed that it wasn't Macbeth. No doubt that he would take his frustration out on his favorite punching bag. The result… was much more than I could ever dream of. I believed in heavenly bodies, but seeing this angel-no, Goddess made my heart beat faster than a Japanese bullet train. Coming near me was a divine entity. She had long scarlet hair that was braided, beautiful chocolate brown eyes with golden specks. Her face was contorted into an expression of annoyance and agitation. But…she still looked stunning.
Realizing I was staring an awful lot, I blushed redder than a tomato and buried my nose back into my book. The unnamed Goddess walked behind me to the bi-section on foreign myths. I kept my head forward because I didn't want her thinking I was some kind of creep. I was still minding my personal business when I heard a creaking sound. The ladder she was using was starting to give way. She didn't seem to notice but that didn't last long when it scooted back too far and she was falling. It was a high fall and I acted on instinct and tried to catch her. The result was... not one I was expecting. I did catch her, just not in the usual way… she fell on top of me, most specifically my face.
And she was wearing a skirt.
She seemed stunned for moment, wondering how she was mildly uninjured till I gave a groan. I could see everything! I closed my eyes after that realization. I was not a pervert! I heard her squeal and quickly get off me. I opened my eyes when I again heard her melodious voice.
"Excuse me. Are you okay? I'm really sorry." I opened my eyes to see her extending a soft, porcelain, delicate hand out to me. I gulped. She was beautiful and kind. Nobody's been so kind to me since I came here. Sure the teachers didn't bully me, but they also didn't exactly help me.
Unsure of what would happen if I agreed to this girl's gesture, yet willing to take the risk because she was just so, so, ethereal. And normally girls would slap the perv who saw their 'unmentionables' and then the poor sap's life would go from bad to rotten. However…
This girl looked so sincere and kindhearted that I had a feeling that this might be my requiem. My salvation.
So I took this girl's hand. She told me her name was Erza Scarlet. A perfectly fitting name seeing as her scarlet tresses were the most beautiful and her eyes were a perfect match.
She soon introduced me to her friends; Lucy Heartfilia and her boyfriend Natsu Dragneel, Juvia Lockser and her boyfriend Gray Fullbuster Levy McGarden and Natsu's Cousin Gajeel Redfox and Levy's boyfriend. The Strauss siblings Mirajane, Elfman and Lisanna. Their respective boy/girlfriends: Freed Justine, Evergreen 'Ever' Gorgona and Bixlow Kurono. And finally Erza's adopted older brother Laxus Dryear and his girlfriend Cana Alberona. I got along with them pretty quickly. Natsu and Gray fight like fire and ice. Lucy, Levy and me bonded over our mutual love for astrology and literature. Gajeel was also a bit of a troublemaker and often fight with Natsu. But Levy always managed to turn him into a giant teddy bear. The boys, especially Laxus were really surprised skeptical of me but eventually shrugged it off.
Soon I began hanging out with them daily. My grandparents were elated when they learned I had made a group of friends. I accidentally let it slip about how I met Erza. I was expecting a terrible scolding. But my grandfather just laughed it off and just told me that 'when I get the courage to tell her how I felt, and if we decide to take the ultimate leap to just be careful' I blushed when he said that and even more when I thought of me and Erza being intimate.
As time went by and we entered our junior year of high school I realized how much I loved Erza. I loved everything about her. Her beautiful scarlet tresses. Her kind and gentle eyes. Her strong independent yet shy and protective personality. But most of all. How she makes me smile. She's my light. I'd give everything to be with her.
That is what I held deep in my heart. I just wished my life didn't take this turn.
Hey. I'll upload the next part soon. And I will work on my other works. A Celestial Mage promise to that.
