You And I

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL!~(sadly)~


Okay! First of all, sorry for updating so late. I only have one word for you. Homework. Secondly, a guest requested NaZa, so this chapter is gonna be Natsu x Erza. Now, I'm not used to this pairing, so sorry if it's bad. Enjoy?


Normal POV-12:30AM

"Oi! Natsu, we're going on a mission!" The scarlet-haired Titania.

"With Ice Princess and Luce?" The pink-haired-ahem, salmon-haired-boy asked.

"No. Lucy got a cold and I ordered Gray to take care of her. I chose a mission already," Erza answered.

Natsu turned deathly pale. Him? Go with Erza? Alone?

"Damn it! Does the universe hate me?" Natsu thought miserably.

"Natsu. Are you okay? You turned pale all of a sudden," Erza pointed out.

"Eh…Erza…Do I have to go?" Natsu asked nervously.

"Are you questioning my decision?" Erza thundered.

"No!" Natsu shouted.

Erza nodded her head in approval. "Good. For the mission we have to defeat 30 Forest Vulcans. The reward is 250,000 Jewels. Lucy's rent is also due next week so we can pay it for her and a little extra. We will give 50,000 Jewels to Gray and 50,000 Jewels to the both of us."

"Okay. When's the mission?" Natsu asked Erza.

"It's at 2PM. If you're late, I won't hesitate to punish you severely," Erza warned him. Natsu nodded hastily.

"Good. See you at 2," Erza said before walking out of the guild.

"Damn it…I'm a dead," Natsu mumbled.

Erza's POV

I got to me apartment at Fairy Hills and lay on my bed. I could just re-quip my luggage at the train station.


Time Skip: 45 minutes later-1:15PM

I got up from laying on my bed and decided to buy a strawberry cake at the guild. I walked out of my apartment and walked to Fairy Tail.

Once I got there, I headed straight for the bar counter. "Can I have strawberry cake?" I asked Mira. She smiled and nodded at me, getting out a cake out from a freezer.

"Here, Erza," Mira said, handing me the plate of cake.

My eyes lit up like stars as I took the cake. "Mm…Good as always!" I stated after I finished taking a bite.

"Thanks," Mira flashed a smile. I ate the cake slowly, savoring the flavor.

"Delicious…" I thought in pure bliss, closing my eyes. I take another bite from the cake. Strawberry cake…So good!

I finished off the cake and opened one eye. "What time is it, Mira?"

"It's about 1:41PM. Do you need to go somewhere?" Mirajane asked me.

"Oh, I gotta go!" I exclaimed, fishing out the amount of Jewels for the cake. "I'm going on a mission with Natsu!" I ran out of the guild, not glancing back.

Mira's POV

"Hmm…Alone with Natsu…I wonder what this could lead to," I mumbled, fantasies of Natsu and Erza in my head.

Erza's POV

I got to the train station at 1:56PM, just in time. Surprisingly, Natsu was already there with his pack.

I re-quipped my luggage and stood beside him. Three minutes later the train comes and we get on the train. We find a booth and at next to each other. Natsu immediately gets motion sick and I knock him out cold and put his head in my lap.

I stare out the window. It was strange without Gray and Lucy here. Different. Still, it felt nice, in a weird way. I unconsciously fingered Natsu's hair as I stared out the window. What was this feeling?

Natsu's POV

Mm…Turkey…Bacon…Fire Chicken…Get up…Wait-Huh? I opened my eyelids slowly and saw Erza trying to shake me awake.

"Finally! Now, let's go!" Erza said. I nodded and dragged myself out of the train. I found a garbage can to throw up my insides. When I was done I found Erza.

"Let's go to the town we're supposed to meet the client," Erza ordered me, dragging me. "We're going to Sunny Town (MADE UP)." I nodded as she dragged me along. We walked through some woods.

"Are we there yet?" I whined.

"We're here," Erza stopped in front of a farm. Now that I think about it, wasn't this whole town full of them?

"Can I stand now?" I asked. Erza nodded. She let go of me and I dropped onto the ground.

"Damn…That hurt!" I mumbled, my butt aching.

Erza knocked on the door of the farm. A teenager dude opened the door. He had blond hair, a cocky smirk on his face, a jersey, sneakers with mud packed on the bottom, a white t-shirt with dirt stains, and baggy jeans.

Erza's POV

"What?" The teen asked rudely. I narrowed my eyes. I disliked him already.

"We're here to take the mission with the 30 Vulcans," I told him icily.

"Okay. A dude with pink hair and a girl. I doubt you'll be able to do it. Bye," The boy snorted and started to close the door on us, but I held the door open with my hand.

"Do not underestimate Fairy Tail mages. You needed help? We are here. Now let us in before I kick down the door and knock you out for being rude," I glowered at him. He visibly gulped and opened the door fully.

"Thank you," I said, my voice filled with venom. I only wanted to scare him a bit.

"Who's at the door, Shin?" A gruff voice yelled. I raised an eyebrow in amusement. His name was Shin.

"Fairy Tail mages who want to take the job," Shin replied.

"Well, waddaya waiting for? Let 'em in!" A woman's voice shouted. Shin sighed and Natsu and I let ourselves in.

The inside was dusty and the floors were shrouded with dirt. I wrinkled my nose in distaste. Didn't these people know how to clean?

There were wooden cupboards attached to the walls that looked pretty old. There were three windows with white curtains. There was an old rocking chair in the room we entered, a couch, and a single chair (Like a couch, but one seat). The table was wooden with a tablecloth over it and six chairs. A mat was in front of the door inside-I don't know why, their floor isn't even clean.

Natsu and I took a seat at the table in front of the lady and the man.

"My name is Jemma and this is my husband, Jimmy. That's our son, Shin. We need you to defeat some forest Vulcans. They've been destroying our crops," The polite woman named Jemma introduced.

"Nice to meet you Jemma, Jimmy. I am Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail," I introduced myself.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail," Natsu introduced himself.

The three's eyes widened. "Titania and the fire dragon slayer?!" They shouted.

Shin's eyes looked as if they were going to pop out. His jaw was dropped. "You regret thinking we couldn't handle it?" I raised an eyebrow in question.

Shin recovered quickly and sneered, "Just because your Titania and he's a fire dragon slayer, it doesn't mean you can handle 30 Vulcans."

"Shin!" Jemma scolded him.

I raised a hand. "Do not worry, Jemma. Why don't we make a deal, Shin? If Natsu and I beat the thirty Vulcans in less than an hour, I get to punish you for being rude. Deal?" I cracked my knuckles.

Shin smirked. "Fine. Deal." We sealed the deal with a handshake.

"Let's go, Natsu." I walked out, Natsu trailing behind.

Once we were outside and the door was shut, I turned to Natsu. "Can you smell any Vulcans around here?"

Natsu sniffed. "Wait…" He walked around and kept sniffing.

I cracked a smile. "Like a dog…"

"Got it!" Natsu shouted and started running off. I ran after him, soon running next to him.

"Why don't you think before running off, idiot?!" I muttered.

Natsu stopped abruptly, sliding roughly against the dirt of the woods. I stopped too, roughly skidding on the dirt ground. My eyes searched for any movement, any shadows. My eyes passed over the area quickly, yet carefully. My eyes swept across something and I pulled out my sword.

Natsu must have sensed something because he got into his fighting stance. Shadows loomed over us. Vulcans. I quickly counted the forest Vulcans. I smiled deviously. They were all here-All thirty.

"Pretty…" They murmured. My smile turned to distaste.

"Ready Natsu?" I asked my partner. He nodded. I smiled evilly this time and he grinned, cracking his knuckles. We lashed out at them without a warning.


~49 minutes later~

I swung my sword and sheathed it onto my belt. Natsu had his arms crossed behind his head. The Vulcans were too easy for my taste.

We walked back to the farm and I knocked on the door. Shin opened the door and I smirked.

"Well? Let me guess. You couldn't defeat the Vulcans and you've come back to admit defeat?" Shin smirked.

I narrowed my eyes dangerously. I thumped him on the head and he collapsed. "Tch. You are very conceited. If you keep acting like that, no one will like you-As a friend or more," I told his collapsed body. I dragged him by the neckline of his jersey and entered the farm.

I dropped him on the single-seated couch as Natsu shut the door.

I went to the table where Jemma and Jimmy were waiting. "We've defeated the Vulcans. Our reward, ma'am?" I put out my hand and Jemma placed the sack of Jewels in my head.

"Thank Jemma, Jimmy." I began to walk away but paused. I turned halfway. "You should teach your son some manners. He is conceited and rude," I advised. Then Natsu and I left, shutting the door behind us.

We began to walk through the woods. Natsu was right on my heels.

Suddenly, I felt the floor underneath me give out. I looked down quickly and cursed under my breath. It was a pitfall. I shut my eyes automatically, waiting for the ground to hit. Surprisingly, it didn't. Instead, my hand was grabbed and I found myself being pulled into someone's chest. I looked up and saw it was Natsu. We stared into each other's eyes and he lightly brushed his lips against mine before letting me go.

"Eh…Let's go back to the guild!" Natsu mumbled quietly, running to the train station through the woods. I stood there, surprised. I slowly touched the spot where Natsu's lips touched mine. I started to smile lightly and ran after him, my head down.

"You and I, huh?" I chuckled silently to myself as I caught up to him.


Anyway, hope you enjoyed! The ending was Erza saying that line because Natsu would OBVIOUSLY NOT say or think it, being the dense idiot he is.

R & R! If you want me to write a pairing, PM me and I'll do it! Ja'ne!
