Jerza: Don't quit fighting, Jellal!

Part two.

Note: I haven't wrote in so long so this isn't going to be as long as I want it to be... :(

Warning: this includes a bunch of swearing (I couldn't help it - i love angsty fanfic.) and a bunch of triggers like suicide mentions, self harm mentions and anxiety.

"I'm quitting fighting. I give up. I'm not useful whatsoever." Jellal stated. Erza was shocked, she didn't believe what was coming out of his mouth.
"Wait... Jellal, what's wrong?" Erza asked Jellal, she was worried if someone had said something to him to make him think that way, if they did then who the heck was it because they was about to get beaten up.
"I just feel like I'm completely shit and useless, I mean I lost against Jura..." Jellal stated almost in tears. Erza sighed and walked up to Jellal - they were right were they almost had there kiss but got interrupted. Erza walked over to Jellal and slapped his cheek. "Jellal, stop being stupid. You're an amazing fighter and I'm so glad that you rescued me when we was kids. Jura is one of the ten wizard saints, do you really expect to beat him? Plus, you wasn't even fighting properly. I could see that. You was in pain." Erza simply stated, kneeling down next to Jellal. It's true, Jellal was in pain but how could Erza see that?
"How did you know I was in pain?" Jellal asked. Erza sighed again.
"Jellal Fernandes, I have known you since we was like - what? like 10 years old or maybe younger or maybe older. I have known you for so long and you expect me to know when you're not in pain? Pft. You're such a idiot, honestly. You was in pain cause you was more focused on fighting against the person who was controlling the grand magic games, Jellal. You was more focused on protecting us - protecting the whole Grand Magic Games and I, personally, think that's amazing. You was fighting to protect people you love. Don't you think that's amazing, Jellal?" Erza asked, staring at him and smiling. Jellal noticed her smiling and started speaking again,
"Well yeah of course I do but that doesn't make me a good fighter... "Jellal stated.

"Okay, first of, who cares if you're a good fighter? Certainly not me, and if your friends did - well there some shit friends. Sure, you're going to get haters in the world, but guess what! Everyone does and everyone will because people will not like certain people for certain things. But, guess what? That's a-okay. Everyone is different and unique and all you have to do, is stay strong, okay?" Erza said, almost in tears. She knew how this felt, to not feel good or feel wanted and she definitely did not want Jellal to feel like that cause Jellal was special to her. Erza wiped her tears away - trying to not cry but honestly it was really hard.

A few seconds later, Jellal stood up from the rock he was previously sat on and walked back over to Erza, as soon as they was facing each other, he brang her into his arms and hugged her and wiped away more of Erza's tears which lead Erza to cry even more. "Thank you, Erza Scarlet." Jellal stated.
"You're welcome, Jellal. I'm always here for you, okay? Don't give up." Erza replied,

"Hey Erza, can I say something?" Jellal asked, his voice was hoarse - he was about to say a big thing. Erza nodded as a symbol for 'carry on' - "A few months ago, I was thinking that the world would be better off without me and I even tried to kill myself, when I was fighting with someone - I didn't fight with them properly and thought that - there it was, there was my death and it had finally come. I was happy. Something stopped me however. Something called out to me." Jellal stopped for a second. Erza's face was wet, she had tears flowing down and grabbed Jellal and hugged him for a good 5 minutes, "Jellal..." She murmured.
"I heard something calling out to me, it was you - Erza. A voice whispered to me 'Stay strong, Jellal.' so I thought that I should get up and continue fighting the guy. I'm glad I did because I got to see you again, Erza." Jellal stated whilst smiling. Erza smiled back, "Let's fight your troubles together, Jellal." Jellal nodded.
"Mhmm!" Jellal replied. They held hands and just stood together for a few minutes, as long as they were with each other they both knew it was going to be okay.

Believe in yourself,

Don't give up.

Stay strong and trust your instincts.
