A/N: Here's Chapter 4! I wanted to make the most of the last week of my summer vacation, so I worked on this story. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, especially because of the last parts. *Winks* So, yeah. Again, please feel free to leave a review. On to the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.

It was past noon as Team Natsu arrived in Weatherby Town for their job. What they saw completely shocked them. There were destroyed buildings, the rubble scattered on the streets.

Happy stifled a laugh. "Aye, this looks like something Natsu would do."

"What the hell do you mean by that, Happy?! I don't destroy buildings all the time." The irritated flame mage replied.

"Sure, like anyone would believe you," Gray smirked.

"You three, stop it! We're here for a mission, so stop fighting," Erza commanded.

"A-aye sir!" The flame mage, ice mage and blue cat squeaked.

Zeke frowned. "So this is the work of the Wyverns, huh?"

"I feel sorry for the people who live here," Lucy said with sorrow.

"Don't worry, we'll beat these Wyvern guys up, no sweat!" The flame mage exclaimed confidently.

"Look, there are people over there. Let's ask them for more details," the lightning mage suggested. The four other mages agreed and they walked towards the crowd.

A woman noticed the approaching mages and approached them. "Are you the mages who accepted our request?" They nodded. "Oh, thank goodness! The mayor is waiting for you. I'll bring you to him." The woman sighed in relief.

"Thank you, ma'am," the lightning mage responded. The Fairy Tail mages followed the woman and she stopped in front of an old man wearing a brown suit. "Mayor, these are the mages who accepted our request," the woman spoke to the old man.

The mayor noticed their guild mark. "I see, so you are from Fairy Tail. Thank you for accepting our request," the old man smiled.

"We are honored to meet you, sir," the Titania said politely. "May we ask for details regarding your request?"

"Ah, yes. These past few days, the Wyverns have been attacking our town. There were three of them and the mages of our town tried to stop them, but couldn't.

"It left us no choice but to seek help from stronger guilds. Luckily, they decided not to attack our town today. Apparently, they are now staying on top of that mountain," the mayor pointed to a mountain nearby. "We would really appreciate it if you get rid of them."

"No problem, gramps. We'll beat them up good for the sake of your town!" The flame mage exclaimed.

"Thank you so much for your kindness. We will give you your reward when you have accomplished your mission," the mayor bowed gratefully.

"All right! Time to beat up those Wyverns up!" The flame mage punched his palm.

"Hang on to me guys, I'll use my Teleportation Magic to bring us to the top of the mountain," the lightning mage said.

"Hey, Zeke. Why can't you use your Teleportation Magic to transport to other towns? I mean, it'd be easier that way for us plus we don't have to pay for train rides," asked Natsu.

"In other words, it's so you wouldn't have to experience motion sickness anymore. Right, Natsu?" Lucy giggled.

"Yeesh, Lucy! Cut it out!" The flame mage blushed in embarrassment.

The lightning mage laughed. "Well, I still haven't completely mastered it, so I can only teleport to nearby places. Unless you place a member of Fairy Tail in every town in Fiore, I can't teleport to every town," he explained.

"Yes, since his ability also allows him to teleport to anyone with the Fairy Tail guild mark, no matter how far they may be," Erza added.

"But the downside is that my magical power drains more quickly with the more people I bring with me, and the farther the place I teleport to. So, I only use it when it's absolutely necessary. Although, in this case, the top of the mountain isn't that far, so it's fine if I use it to bring us there," he shrugged.

"Hmm, I don't really get it, but whatever," the flame mage grinned.

"Well, we better get going before the Wyverns decide to attack the town. We don't want to risk more townspeople getting hurt," Gray said.

"You're right," the lightning mage nodded. "Hang on, everyone!"

In an instant, the Fairy Tail mages were teleported on top of the mountain.

"That was quick," the ice mage commented.

"They don't call Zeke the Lightning mage for nothing," Lucy added.

"Head's up, guys!" The lightning mage shouted as he pointed behind the others.

They ducked as they saw the Wyverns flying toward them.

"Ice Make: Lance!"

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!"

"Open, Gate of the Bull! Taurus!"

"Requip: Heaven's Wheel Armor! Blumenblatt"

"Lightning Magic: Thousand Blades!"

Their attacks barely hit, as the Wyverns decided to take flight.

The lightning mage saw scars on the Wyverns' wings. That must be their weak point. If I manage to paralyze their wings, they won't be able to take flight and we'll be able to take them down easily. He thought. He decided to relay this information to the others.

"Guys! I saw scars on their wings. That must mean that it's their weak point. I'll try to paralyze their wings, and then we'll start attacking them at once!" He commanded.

"Got it!" They yelled.

"Lightning Magic: Lightning Surge!" A surge of lightning burst towards the Wyverns, but because of their speed, they managed to dodge the attack.

"Dammit! They're too fast!" He exclaimed.

"Man, are those things quick!" The ice mage fell back.

The mages sent one attack after another, their spells barely hitting.

"What the hell's up with these guys?! Our attacks are barely hitting them at all!" The flame mage complained.

Then the lightning mage had another idea. He would teleport behind the wyverns, and use his magic to paralyze their wings. "Hey! Try to dodge their attacks as best as you guys can. I'll teleport behind them and paralyze their wings!" He commanded.

They nodded, dodging the Wyverns while attempting to hit their wings.

He used his teleportation magic and got behind one Wyvern. "Lightning Magic: Lightning Blast!" He cast the spell. And it hit its target, bringing down the first Wyvern. He used the same tactic with the remaining two, and in a matter of seconds, all three Wyverns dropped to the ground, their wings completely paralyzed.

He dropped down to the ground. "Alright guys, let's bring them down for good!" He exclaimed.

"Yosh!" They shouted.

"Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!"

"Ice Make: Hammer!"

"Blumenblatt!"

"Lightning Magic: Lightning Burst!"

"Go! Taurus!"

After the barrage of attacks from the five mages, the Wyverns were left dead.

"Alright! We did it!" They cheered.

The lightning mage grinned. "Alright, let's go back guys. Hang on to me," he said.

They held on to the lightning mage and in an instant, they were back in the town. They headed to the mayor to report that the job was done.

"Sir, we've taken care of the Wyverns. They won't be attacking your town any more," the lightning mage reported.

"I see. I had faith that you would be able to take care of it. Here is your reward, and all of us would like to thank you for a job well done," the mayor handed the reward to the lightning mage.

"It was our pleasure to be of service to your town. And we also thank you for the generous reward," the Titania added.

The mayor smiled and waved, "Take care on your way home! And please feel free to drop by again anytime when we're finished reconstructing our town."

"We will! And thank you again!" The Fairy Tail mages smiled and waved back.

They turned around and headed back to the train station.

"I'm glad the job took place on top of the mountain. There was nothing to destroy, so we received our reward in full," Lucy said happily. The other mages laughed.

They boarded the train, their seating arrangement the same as when they were headed to Weatherby Town; but this time, Erza was sitting beside Zeke and she requipped into her normal outfit.

"That was a good strategy you thought up back there," the requip mage complimented the lightning mage.

"I wouldn't have been able to think it up if I hadn't seen the scars on their wings," he said modestly.

"You're too modest," the requip mage smirked.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" He quirked an eyebrow playfully.

"It's a good thing, of course," the scarlet-haired mage laughed.

The black-haired mage laughed back. He loved the way she laughed; it was music to his ears.

A cold breeze entered the window of the train, and he felt the requip mage shiver.

"Hey, are you feeling cold?" He asked in concern.

"A little, yes. It must be the cold air going in through the window," the scarlet-haired mage replied.

The black-haired mage took off his jacket and placed it on the scarlet-haired mage.

"Feeling warmer?" He asked with a smile.

"But you'll feel cold," she protested.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me," he reassured her.

"Thank you, Zeke," she mumbled and leaned her head against his chest, feeling his heartbeat and the rise and fall of his chest. He feels so warm. She thought. She now realized that she had completely fallen in love with the black-haired mage. The last thing she felt was his arm, wrapped around her as she fell asleep.

The black-haired mage noticed that the scarlet-haired mage had fallen asleep in his arms. He smiled at her sleeping face, thinking how beautiful and peaceful she looked. He stroked her hair, wishing the moment would last forever. He had to thank Lucy afterward for letting the others sit with her in separate seats, be it intentional or not.

It was dark when Team Natsu arrived at Magnolia, and the air was chilly. The mages went their separate ways, except for Zeke and Erza.

"Wow, it's still chilly, even here," he commented. He turned to Erza and said, "Here, I'll teleport you home. I wouldn't want you to stay out in the cold any longer."

"You should be more concerned about yourself. You're just wearing a shirt," she scolded him.

The lightning mage just grinned. "Don't worry about me, I can manage. Besides, I can teleport right back home, so it's alright. Now, c'mon." Then he held out his hand.

"Honestly," the scarlet-haired mage just smiled and took his hand.

In an instant, they found themselves in front of Fairy Hills.

"Thank you for accompanying me again, Zeke. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness," the scarlet-haired mage smiled warmly at the black-haired mage.

"Anytime," the black-haired mage smiled back.

The scarlet-haired mage realized that she was still holding his hand. She didn't want to let go, and now that she was sure of her feelings for him, she wanted to confess. She placed his hand on her face. The black-haired mage seemed surprised by her action. "Erza?" He asked, looking shocked.

"Zeke, remember what I said on the train when we were on the way to Weatherby Town?" She asked.

"The one where you said that there was someone you were slowly beginning to love?" He asked in reply.

She smiled, feeling glad that he remembered. "The truth is… that person is you. I love you, Zeke."

He smiled. "Then, do you remember when I told you that I was in love with this girl?"

"Yes, I do," she replied. What if it wasn't her? She was panicking inside her mind. But wait, if he's smiling at me, then that means… She trailed off in her mind.

He placed his other hand on her face. "Well… that girl is you, Erza. I love you, too. I always have, and I always will."

Erza blushed and placed her hands on his waist. He pulled her closer, their faces inching closer to each other. Finally, they kissed. It was magical for both of them. They pulled apart, and he asked the question he wanted to ask her for a long time. "Erza Scarlet, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked in a soft and loving voice.

"Yes, Zeke Bolton. I will be your girlfriend," she smiled.

He smiled back, pulled her in again, and they kissed passionately. After a few minutes, they pulled apart, giving each other room to breathe. They smiled at each other, both feeling happy.

"I'll see you tomorrow. Is it alright with you if we go to the guild together? I'll be waiting in your dorm's lounge," he whispered in her ear.

"Yes, it's fine by me," the scarlet-haired mage smiled.

"Alright. Good night, Erza. Sweet dreams. I love you…" He said softly.

"Good night, Zeke. I love you too…" She whispered and smiled.

"You better get in now, I've been keeping you out in the cold for too long," he grinned.

She smiled and said, "You better teleport home now, as well. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow," he waved and vanished.

She went inside her dorm and went to her room. She noticed that she was still wearing his jacket. Oh, I forgot to return his jacket. I'll just return it tomorrow. She thought. She then lay in bed, and wrapped his jacket around her, feeling its warmth. It's warm, just like him. She smiled and dozed off.
