A/N: Well, this will... kind of confirm people's desires? Maybe? Sort of. I'm not making sense. Please read and review!

Natsu doesn't love her.

The guy in the crystal loves her.

Natsu can see it, now that he has no memories. All they have to do is say her name and Jellal looks up. He's a dog, so much hope and yearning and curiosity. He looks, expecting her to be behind a guard or next to Natsu, but she's not. It's like when Natsu started looking for Igneel.

Except it's worse somehow, because Igneel is a dragon and he's too smart to be caught. Erza shouldn't bother to hide.

He hates seeing the bastard because it's all his fault. Or it should be. But here he is, with a clean slate, locked in a cell for something he doesn't remember doing, and Erza's... somewhere.

Not here, not answering him.

And damn it, she should be here.

Because Jellal loves her, and Natsu thinks he kind of gets that.
