Title: A Simple Statement

Pairing: Erza x Juvia

Requester: anonymous

Prompt: no prompt


Juvia stared blankly up at the sky, with Erza snuggled into the sleeping bag with her. The redhead was already fast asleep, her arms wrapped around the water mage. A soft smile adorned the requip mage's faces, and every once in a while she let out a mumbled, happy sleeping noise and snuggled just a little closer. How in Earthland closer was even possible at this point was a bit of a mystery to Juvia, and yet here Erza was, managing it.

Well… Erza was Erza, after all.

The thought brought a smile to the water mage's face. Sometimes it seemed like the phrase was a cop-out. As if everything that didn't make sense about the woman holding her tightly could be neatly summed up or explained with such a simple statement.

But it could. It really could. Because wasn't that the best definition of everyone? They were who they were. Lucy was Lucy. Wendy was Wendy. Natsu was Natsu. Happy was Happy. Gray-sama was Gray-sama.

And Juvia was Juvia.

It didn't mean that none of these people could change. It didn't mean that they hadn't.

Juvia turned slightly, draping an arm across Erza's midsection. A soft sigh was her response, and the requip mage wiggling even closer. Juvia smiled and closed her eyes.

Erza was Erza.

And that was fine with Juvia.
