Disclaimer : Owning Fairy Tail would be awesome, but I don't ... Yet

Day: 3

Prompt: love

Everyone was happy about the new member joining Fairy Tail. The most cheerful mage was Erza because finally Jellal had joined her guild. He was no longer a fugitive because he was forgiven by the magic council in exchange of destroying most of the dark guilds in Fiore. So,him, Meredy and the former Oracion Seis members joined the guild of Fairy Tail. They could finally enjoy their lives as wizards in the guild. Everyone knew Jellal from his frequent visits and Meredy too. But the Oracion seis members were very new and it would be a while before they would be totally accepted by all the members.

"I am very happy for Jellal. He has finally forgiven himself and he can have the happiness he deserves. Though it will take time to adjust to this new lifestyle, he'll thoroughly enjoy it, I hope. And everyone else can also enjoy their lives now, because now they have a lot of friends who will always be there for them." Erza thought to herself.

Jellal came in the guild hall to find the usual stuff happening, Gray and Natsu unknowingly destroying half the guild hall, Lucy sitting with Levy discussing her novel, Mira working with Lissana serving drinks, the Thunder Legion sitting together with Laxus, Meredy talking to Juvia, the Oracion seis mixing with the rest of the crowd and Erza sitting in front of the counter having her favorite dessert, strawberry cake. So, Jellal goes to sit with Titania, and says " hey Erza, I wanted to speak to you could we go outside for a bit?" Erza nods and follows Jellal outside, and the next thing he says earns quite a reaction from Erza."Erza I don't think I deserve all this love from everyone, though they have forgiven me, I cannot forget all the horrible things I have done to many people, especially you" there is silence for a moment and then Jellal is left holding his left cheek after Erza slapped him with full force and left. For the next few hours Jellal looks for Erza everywhere, only to find the red head in the park of Magnolia. She was siting there on a bench, deep in thought, he walks till there and quietly sits down."Erza I.." Jellal started to say something but is interrupted by her."Jellal.." She started sternly," why do you do this?, think that you do not deserve affection, happiness... Love? Why can't you understand that you have already suffered enough, there are people who care for you, comfort you,who love you with all their heart, Meredy, Ultear, Milliana, all our friends... Me! But you just push them away most of the times."she shouted the last part. Jellal just stood there, shocked by her sudden outburst. After a moment, he embraced her to stop her sobbing that had started. She thought his embrace to be very comforting, and comfortable. "I... love you" he said, staring at Erza's beautiful brown eyes. Almost immediately he felt a pair of lips on his own. Erza kissed him, for real, then he kissed her back. They pulled away after a little bit, panting for breath, it wasn't too intense, short and sweet. "And, here I got this for you, as a sorry gift" said Jellal, holding a box to Erza. She took it and opened it and was delighted to find a white frosting cake, decorated by a bit of pink frosting and strawberries. " there was no need for this, but thank you" she said cheerfully. They sat at a nearby cafe and had the cake, and astonishingly Jellal actually got to have a whole slice. But they didn't know that a certain matchmaker Strauss saw everything from behind the scenes and she had something planned for both of the lovebirds. They went back to the guild the next day in the morning and not many people were there as expected. Mira was there and she looked extra hyper that morning. Erza and Jellal talked to each other for some time until more people arrived. Erza asked Lucy "do you know why Mirajane is acted so, extra cheerful today?" " no idea, she has been like this since yesterday evening!" Answered Lucy and went off to join the other girls." Yesterday evening huh something's going on" Erza thought to herself. And so later, Mira's plan was revealed, when she called Erza and Jellal and announced their relationship status to the whole guild. That was a shock to both of them, both of them sharing equally confused looks and it struck them and they both turned their gaze towards Mirajane who just innocently said " I might have just spied on your 'little moment'. They both mentally cursed themselves for not have noticed her. And so they were caught by their friends and congratulated, given hugs that didn't allow them to breathe and a lot of embarrassing things more.

But they both knew, this was the way their friends showed their love. And no doubt they liked it a lot.
