Draw the Scarlet in Erza

She never knew her parents; never knew her second name. She meets Jellal, and he gives her the second name that sticks with her for as long as she remembers.


JeRza-centered!

Enjoy, JeRza fans. c:

But...

Warnings!: AU. Expect OOC (mainly from Erza). Erza's perspective.


"Hey, Erza, how did you end up with the name Erza Scarlet?"

I look up, pausing as I then set my fork down.

"It's a long story. Make sure you are prepared."

My friends nod vigorously, and I shuffle at little in my seat.

"Well, then..."


My name is Erza.

Just Erza.

I don't know my parents.

I didn't know anyone until that day when I was put into an orphanage and everyone tells me their names.

I tell everyone,

"Erza. My name is Erza."

Everyone then asks me,

"Where's your second name?"

I tell them,

"I don't know. For now, my name is just Erza."

Everyone always gives me the cold shoulder after that, but I don't mind.

I merely ignore them and pay them no interest.

After all, I don't want to tell them about my past of not knowing my parents.

A group of what seem like 5 people then walk up to me one day, being led by a blue-haired man that I don't recognize.

He asks me,

"Your name is Erza, right?"

I nod, timid as to what were to happen to me.

"I am Jellal. This is Milliana, Sho, Simon and Wally," he said, the said people smiling and waving at me.

Suddenly, I felt a wave of security, and I smile at him.

"Do you... all have... last names?"

My smile slowly falls when their eyes slowly darken.

"I'm Jellal Fernandez."

Tears well up in my eyes, but I still smile at him.

"I see. That's a nice last name... Jellal," I let out, ready to walk away from him.

I walk away.

He catches my arm at the last minute and I wince at his grip.

I realize he notices and loosens his grip on my arm.

Seconds later, he is caressing my hair and my face bursts into flames.

I hear him say,

"Scarlet."

I attempt to turn around to face him, but fail.

I speak,

"What?"

He smiles and looks at him, still caressing my hair with his fingers.

He repeats,

"Scarlet. Erza... Scarlet."

My face bursts into flames once more.

I repeat his words,

"Erza... Scarlet?"

I see him smile at him, and I smile at him back.

"Yeah. Your name. Erza Scarlet. That way... I'll never forget, right?"

His hands pull away and I turn back around.

I say my new name aloud,

"Erza Scarlet."

For the 50th time, I smile at him, my face slightly flushed.

I whisper to him,

"Thank you."


I conclude my story, looking at the others around me.

I stutter,

"W-What?"

They sit up straight, a terrified look on their faces as I stare at them.

"N-Nothing!" they squeak.

I smile at them, warmly, and stand up.

I say, walking past them and getting the phone,

"So, do you guys want some pizza for dinner?"


Asdfghjkl, my first JeRza fic. Not exactly... UK... but... whatever xD

Maybe a bit of a fail, but I'll imrove on Erza/Jellal's characters in the future.

Well, uh... what did you think?

I thought I'd take a break from NaLu for a bit and focus on some other couples...

Gruvia will probably be next, so... yeah. c:

Um, review?
