Alright so the story officially begins here! As for those wondering yes this will be a NaZa pairing but the story will work towards that. I've kinda always paired them together since the Tower of Heaven arc so that was my main reason for writing a FanFic. Hope you enjoy the first chapter!

As a reminder I don't own any of the characters that are in the Fairy Tail Anime or the Manga that are made by Hiro Mashima.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! Rates and reviews are appreciated!


Slowly her eyes opened as the sun's rays beat down harshly over her bed. Erza rubbed her eyes as she sat up, pulling back the rough sheets that nipped at her chin. She looked down at the man next to her still sleeping peacefully in the warm bed. She smiled sheepishly down at him as her mind wandered.

'Two months.' she thought. In the days following Fairy Tail's triumphant return to Magnolia Jellal had finally confessed his love to her and they hadn't been apart since. Erza felt glad to be with him, but somewhere in her heart she felt conflicted over their newly found love. Sighing heavily she let her head fall back into the pillows behind her. 'I should be happy.' Erza brought her hand to her face as she thought 'What's the problem? This is what I've always wanted... right?' A knot began to form in her stomach as she contemplated her worries.

"Erza... Erza... ERZA!" Her eyes widened in surprise at the sudden interruption. "You spaced out Erza." Jellal said softly as he stretched.

"Sorry... I was just thinking." Erza replied as her face flushed red. Jellal wrapped his arms around her bringing her head to rest against his warm chest. She smiled and moved her hand feeling the slow beat of his heart.

"I'm glad." Erza said to herself "I'm glad I finally have you." A smile crept back over her face.

"Hey what's with that look?" Jellal asked her teasingly.

"Oh uh... Nothing! It's nothing." Erza responded looking away from Jellal "I was just thinking about what we could do today… you know we haven't really had a day to relax since we got back." Since they had returned to Magnolia the guild had been partying a lot. As for her and Jellal they had been going on quite a few jobs but Erza was tired of working.

"It would be nice to rest a bit!" Jellal said smiling widely "We can go grab some lunch and then go for a walk in the East Forest! How's that sound? Er-Za!" Jellal brushed her hair back as he looked down into her eyes.

"Yeah, that sounds nice!" Erza laughed shyly. She still wasn't completely used to being in a… A relationship? 'Is that what we're in?' Erza wondered. Swinging her legs out of the bed she walked towards the shower to get ready for the day.


"Good morning Natsu!" Lucy called happily as Natsu entered the main hall of the guild.

"Yeah…" Natsu replied quietly. He wasn't in the mood for niceties today. Natsu worked his way through the table rows as he moved towards the guild entrance.

"Hey."

Natsu kept walking towards the door. "I said… Hey!" Gray said loudly as he reached for Natsu's shoulder. "I heard you." Natsu said coldly. "What's with you?" Gray inquired "Run out of flames? Salamander?" Natsu again began walking towards the doorway. "Ice… Make…" Natsu turned quickly and brought his fist hard into Gray's gut before he could finish his spell. "Happy now?" Natsu asked as Gray fell to the floor coughing as he clutched his stomach. Lucy rushed over to Gray "Natsu! What was that for?" Lucy inquired angrily.

"Sorry, thought he could take a punch." Natsu answered stiffly as he left the building, the guild members looked on in shock at his exit.

"How come Gray didn't fight back?" "They usually get into huge fights?" "He stopped Gray with one punch?!" the chatter around the hall grew as Erza entered the building.

"What's going on?" Erza asked Gray and Lucy.

Sluggishly Gray pulled himself up onto one of the nearby benches. "Damn Natsu, I don't know what's with him lately." Gray told Erza as he rubbed his bruised stomach. "Ever since we got back he's been acting like a little…" Erza sat next to Gray "What do you mean?" she asked. "Well… he won't go on jobs, he stopped eating with us. He's been spending most of his time down at the East Forest lake." Gray informed her. "It would appear he stopped wanting to fight with you as well." Lucy teased. "I'll go talk to him." Erza said as she stood up moving towards the door.

"Don't talk to Natsu right now." A voice said quietly "He doesn't really need comfort." Erza turned looking for the person who spoke. She looked down surprised to see Happy standing at her feet. "Please Erza! He just needs some time!" Happy begged as he pulled at her leg. Erza was taken aback to see Happy away from Natsu. "What's going on with him?" Erza asked as she picked Happy up. "Just give Natsu some time to think and he will be okay!" Happy replied as he struggled to get loose from Erza's grip. Erza sighed as she released the cat "Alright if you say so Happy." She smiled. "Gray, Lucy, you two leave him alone for a bit as well." Gray and Lucy nodded as Erza exited the guild.


Her thoughts wandered to Natsu as she walked towards the park to find Jellal.

'Why is he acting like this, where's the usual excited, over the top Natsu?'

Erza stopped as she neared the Southgate Park. Jellal was waiting there for her. They had planned to walk in the East Forest, but Natsu was there, at the lake, and the three of them would likely cross paths if they went to the forest. Erza felt the knot in her stomach coming back.

'Why do I feel this way when I think about Natsu…? Or about being with Jellal.'

She bit her lip as her thoughts raced. Gradually she began walking towards the park again. 'I'll deal with this another day, I should at least try to enjoy the day off.'

The sun tucked itself behind the hills as Erza entered the park. It was a perfect day. A cooling breeze rolled in from the sea and the day's heat had subsided to a perfect point. Erza looked up at the large tree that sat in the center of the park; birds flew around its large branches as if dancing in the golden glow of the setting sun.

"Hello beautiful." Erza turned to see Jellal carrying two juice packs. He handed one to her as he approached. "Ready to go?" he asked as he wound his fingers through hers. "Yeah… Let's go." Erza replied squeezing her hand around his a little tighter as they walked off towards the forest.


Sorry if my writing style is a bit strange. I put the breaks in to signify scene changes a little more clearly instead of lumping everything together. So I hope it's not too much of a bother!

Anyways I will be working on new chapters and will look to release chapter 2 and 3 together.

Again feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions or concerns!
