He couldn't breath. His lungs felt like they were caving in, and he began to shake.
"Hah..hah...hah". He fought to put air into his lungs. They were working fine, but in his current state, he couldn't feel it. He sat up, beating his chest to get rid of the clogged feeling."Hah..hah...hah". His stirring woke his wife who was cuddled up beside him. "Jellal?" Erza got up, sat cross-legged over the covers over his legs, and put her hands on his shoulders.
"Erza..hah..hah, I'm..hah..having an attack...hah..hah..."
"Sssssh, I know . I'm here for you. Take a deep breath, hold, 1-2-3-4-5, and exhale, 1-2-3-4-5."
Jellal followed her instructions until his breathing went back to normal, and he slumped backwards, feeling a bit better."I don't know what I'd do without you. I really don't." He gave her a tired smile, then sat up and kissed her on the smiled back and swept him into a hug. She felt the fabric of his long sleeved pyjama shirt against her bare arms. It was soaked with sweat. They held each other for a minute until she broke the embrace. "Hold on a minute, I'll get you a towel." While she went, Jellal peeled off his sweaty top, and threw it on the floor at the side of the bed. He'd get it in the morning, Erza would have a go at him if he did'nt. She padded back into the room and handed him a towel, stopping for a minute to take in the gorgeous view of his chiseled upper body. Jellal noticed her staring as he toweled himself down.
"Did I miss a spot?" he enquired.
No, just checking out that six-pack. Hellooooooo Nurse!"
"Pervert!" Jellal retorted, lobbing the damp towel at her. She managed to catch it, and she threw it on the floor.
"Well, I'm your pervert." she giggled. "Shall I get you a top?"
"Nah, I guess I'd better stay like this if the lady likes the view." he grinned at her.
"Wise choice young man." she smirked back at him. She climbed back in beside him. "But seriously, are you feeling better?"
"I'm a bit shaky, but apart from that, I'm fine." he reassured her. "However, there is one thing that would make me feel better"
"Hmmm?"
He leaned towards her, and kissed her gently on the kissed back, opening her mouth slightly and letting his tongue in to play. They tongue battled passionately until their need for air interrupted their makeout session. They broke apart. Jellal was gasping for air again, but this time in a good way. He moved in again and gave her a quick peck on the cheek before burrowing under the duvet and resting his head on her chest, her breasts making him a soft pillow. "I love you, Erza." he murmured. Erza snuggled down and smiled. "I love you too, Jellal..." she whispered softly, caressing his cobalt coloured hair until they both drifted off to sleep.
