Distances

Erza was missing him. It had been like this every night, ever since the end of the GMGs. She would sit outside and wonder how he was doing, what he was doing, or where he might've been at the moment. She just wanted to see him, nothing more.

Jellal missed her. Erza, the person he had hurt so many times, the one person he loved. If he could see her, just once, he wouldn't need anything else.

After recently defeating a dark guild, Crime Sorciere was resting in the outskirts of Magnolia. Ultear and Meredy knew what Jellal was thinking, and they knew how much he missed her. If there was one thing they could do for him, it was this.

Sending out a pigeon with a note attached, straight to Fairy Hills and... To Erza. They were doing this for him. For Jellal.

Erza looked up at the sound of a tap on her window. She saw a pigeon, and on it's foot was a note. Erza opened the window, and took the note. Erza carefully unfolded the note, and read it.

Erza,

We are currently in the forest outside of Magnolia. We will be here for only a small amount of time, but if you would like to come visit us, you may. A certain someone misses you.

From, Ultear and Meredy

P.S. Send a reply back via pigeon.

Erza never would've thought she would be so lucky. She missed him, so she knew she had to go.

Quickly, she wrote a reply.

Ultear and Meredy,

I will be arriving shortly. Hopefully I am not too late.

From, Erza

Erza folded the note and tied it to the pigeon. She opened the window again, and the pigeon flew off towards the forest.

She smiled. She knew that soon she would see him.

The pigeon arrived in a forest clearing. Meredy looked up, and grabbed the pigeon. She grabbed the note from it's foot, and read through it.

Ultear looked up at her, silently asking for information. Meredy smiled, and showed her the message.

Ultear grabbed Meredy's hand and went to find Jellal.

Jellal was sitting at the edge of the forest, staring up at the moon. His thoughts soon drifted to the scarlet haired knight again. Oh, what he wouldn't give to see her.

Ultear and Meredy approached quietly, not wanting to disturb him. Ultear lightly taped him on the shoulder, causing him to cautiously look around. His eyes fell on Ultear and Meredy, and he instantly calmed down. They looked at him with a smile, and he just stared at them.

Erza was approaching the forest's edge. When she reached it, she stopped. She saw Jellal, sitting there with Ultear and Meredy. Did he know she was coming?

She stepped out behind him. Jellal, hearing the noise, turned around. He saw Erza, and any other thoughts disappeared. He just stared at her. 'Was this real?' He thought to himself.

He looked at her, and she looked back. Neither of them knew what to do. After so long, they finally saw each other, but here they stood, completely frozen.

Breaking the tension, Erza ran over to him. With tears in her eyes, she hugged him close to her.

Jellal smiled. If there was any moment he could stay in forever, it would be this one. He knew that he loved her, but he also knew she was forbidden to him.

Erza knew this as well, but she didn't care. She loved Jellal, and nothing could change that.

Without either of their conscious selves knowing, their faces were slowly moving closer together.

Seconds later, Jellal realized this. But he didn't care. He wanted to crush the space between them.

He pulled her even closer to him, and kissed her.

Erza didn't think something like this would ever be possible with Jellal. But now it was, and she felt as if she was dreaming. They had sealed the distance, and it would stay that way.

And that is my ending! Short and sweet. I like this story. ^-^ Again, thank you Lightmoon54! I hope you like this! ~Mini
