Chaos was nothing new for the guild of Fairy Tail. Getting new members wasn't a new thing either. When it was both at the same time, it was fine.
When the latter came with the arrival of Jellal Fernandez, well… the former was inevitable.
The ruckus of the Fairy Tail building made the prisoner pause. Well, he wasn't a prisoner anymore, not really. A criminal, certainly, but a prisoner? No. Fairy Tail made certain of freedom.
Erza touched his hand with surprising tenderness for a stranger. But she was not a stranger to Jellal, no matter what his lack of memories told him.
"Welcome home."
They are words that neither, in any of their memories, could think of ever saying to one another. But she had promised to be there for him in whatever he needed. And now she was.
"He is in the custody of Fairy Tail," she had declared. "Please allow us to decide his fate from this point forward."
To everyone with no understanding of government, that had been that. And yet it was so much more. Still, Fairy Tail operated on simplicity.
"I'm home," he said, and he wasn't quite aware of the gravity of that statement. Not yet.
A/N: To tide me over while i think about OT3 feels. I love this series.
