I want to thank Redwindstorm for being my soundboard of ideas and helping me choose!

Jellal took a few steps from Erza. "I'm sorry, you will be okay and you should continue on your path of light and I will walk the path of darkness. Our paths will cross again one day and by then, I hope you will shine bright enough to erase our existence."

Erza grabbed Jellal's arm as he turned, "How dare you! You put me through hell, then you come back, put me through more hell then think you can run off and pop into my life whenever you feel like it! And then think you can skim off a lame lie like having a fiancée!"

Jellal's eyes widened as Erza stood inches from him. "I love you. I always have and I always will, you saved me… More than once, give me the chance you subconsciously think I deserve. Don't push me away again…" Erza pleaded with him as his surprised gaze seemed to soften at her request.

"I will never fully atone for my sins, Erza." Jellal closed his eyes pained. "I don't deserve you. I want to, but I don't." As he finished his sentence a cloud of cold hit the back of his head dropping snow over the two of them. Erza and Jellal turned to look behind them to see Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Loke all standing there. Loke snapped his fingers a couple more times as Gray conjured up more snowballs.

"If you don't just shut up and kiss her and come home to FairyTail where you belong, I swear I'll hit a wizard saint… Again… With the snow of course!" Loke gave a brash, proud smile as Lucy giggled.

Erza just smiled and let a soft laugh turn into a full loud cackle. Natsu smiled and gave a thumbs up, "You've more than earned a place with the most destructive guild!"

Gray nudged Natsu, "Tell him what you were rehearsing the whole time before we got here."

Natsu turned to Gray yelling, "Hey! Shut up okay! I'll get to that! Jerk!"

Natsu pulled back and swung a mighty punch forward, "Open! Gate of the Ram!"

Aries came forth and was knocked in the backside with Natsu's punch, "Wah! Oof! Why Lucy! I thought we were friends!" Aries cried out.

"We are! Oh my gosh! I'm sorry, Aries, it's just you're so fluffy and cute it's so hard for anyone to be mad with you around! And you're so fluffy! I thought it would be perfect! I'm sorry! Forgive me! Can we still be besties?!" Lucy bowed several times in her speech.

Aries smiled and hugged Lucy, "Of course, it's okay, you did it for the best of everyone, and like you said! I'm fluffy! So, it only kind of hurt."

Lucy squealed, "Oh! I'm so sorry! Totally doing spa night for us!" Aries nodded excitedly and hopped happily.

"Okay! Call me when you ready! Oh! And!" Aries leaned in and kissed Loke's cheek, "See you later, Sweetie."

Loke blushed and waved her off. "Okay! Natsu say your god damned piece without hitting anyone or you're next! If my girlfriend gets punched again you're going to cry!" Loke waved his fist threateningly. Lucy giggled.

Natsu stared at Loke, "You got it! Hey Jellal! Look man, you're not a complete disaster. If anything you're pretty cool, I… We would really like it if you came to FairyTail!"

Jellal gave a soft laugh and held his hands up, "Well, I have the four scariest wizards cornering me and forcing me into acceptance… Do I have much of a choice from here?"

Erza smiled widely and grabbed his hands, "No!" She dragged him along to the rest of her group, "Besides… Mystogen went home, we need another S class."

Jellal smiled to himself as he stared at Ezra's hand holding his and watching the group excitedly talk amongst each other. He looked up to see the sun had come out from behind the clouds, the bright rays casted over the land almost blinding him. As they arrived at their guild hall a awkward hushed wave of silence over came the hall as Jellal crossed the threshold. "Wow, the years weren't kind. But, here everyone is… Does anyone else feel really uncomfortable?"

Laxus stepped forward, "What is HE doing here?" Jellal flinched a little at the giant's request.

Gildarts stood up, "Finally, a level head keep those three from destroying the world and keep Erza from having a nervous breakdown." He held out his hand, "So, you are here to stay right?"

Jellal gave an uneasy smile and took his hand, "Seems that way." The hall erupted in conversation, some cheers and some whispers.

Gildarts roared loudly, "Enough! He's here, deal with it or find the door!" He turned to Jellal, "We are actually glad you're here."

Erza smiled and took his hand, "Welcome home."

Mira smiled and bowed as Makarov came out of the back room and dropped his tray, "Fernandas?!"

Jellal sheepishly waved, "Please don't hit me, you're grandson already terrifies me. I'm afraid he'll sit on me." The hall erupted in laughter once again including Laxus.

Makarov folding his arms, "You're alright… Just don't give me a reason to hit you, damnit I'll hit you just as hard as the rest of my kids! You're not special! Erza is a wizard saint as well and I wouldn't think twice to swat her upside the head if needed! You keep your nose clean you'll be fine, boy…" He pulled Jellal down to his level, "You treat her right, you hear? It's not her you'd have to worry about," he pointed at the guild hall full of members, "her family is far scarier than she'd ever be. Do screw this up." He gently patted Jellal's cheek. "You'll be okay." He smiled and hugged Jellal, "Welcome home, Son."
