By the time the group got back to the camp, it was well into the night. The sky was pitch black. The only source of light were coming from the pale faced moon and the stars that were dotted across the night sky, glowing gently on the earth below. When everybody left their cars, they trudged heavily further into camp. Considering the days events, everyone was beyond tired, so they all agreed to get checked by the camp doctor, Porlyusica, before jumping into their beds. There were no arguments on the way, or fights. Everyone were too exhausted to bother, including Natsu and Gray where even they were struggling to keep their eyes open.
After getting the the all clear for infections and major injuries, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective huts. Everyone, except Erza. Instead of going back to her hut, she went to the empty training grounds, where in the day they would train the young to defend themselves from any and all types of enemies. Erza stood in the middle of the desolate grounds as a cold, night breeze blew and played with her fiery locks. She sighed heavily as she closed her eyes for a second before turning her gaze to the stars. She couldn't sleep. There were so many questions swimming around her mind. Too many questions. Questions with which she had no answers... and the very core of those questions were rooted to the man she loved and thought she had lost all those years ago...
'where have you been all this time?'
'What happened after that day?'
'how were you able to survive all these years?'
'Why didn't you come back sooner?'
These were only some of the many questions that plagued the red heads mind. Her eyes began to brim with tears as she remembered all of the pain and the suffering over the years after Jellals "death".
"is this really reality? Is Jellal really here with me again? Or is this all just some horrid dream?" Erza whispered to the stars as though they had the answer to her question. It was a conversation that was meant to be unheard by her comrades ears, but unbeknownst to the red head, the very man who had been plaguing her thoughts all this time. Was stood a few feet behind her. Watching as stray tears flowed down her pale cheeks.
The longer that Erza stayed standing under the light of the stars and the moon, the harder it was to contain her tears. More and more began to escape and soon the waterfall Erza was trying to contain would come flooding out and follow them.
"Damn it!" She groaned as she tried to wipe away the tears. Suddenly she was engulfed by strong, warm arms. That wrapped around her from behind. The red heads tears eyes widened as she realised that the arms belonged to Jellal.
"What are you doing?" She questioned the blue haired male, but she got no reply. He only held on tighter and a long silence stretched out between the 2. Neither of them knew where to start, both were hesitant to break the silence and relieve the steadily growing tension in the air. Finally the silence was shattered as a single word slipped from his lips...
"Sorry..."
Sorry?
