Summary: Erza isn't like most Sleeping Beauties….
Pairings: Erza/Jellal.
YouTube Prompt: A general Fairy Tail tribute to 'Never Ending Story' by Within Temptation. Just fits.
Erza had fallen into a blissful dream.
After a hardworking day in which she had to beat up Natsu and Gray for being morons ten times, convinced the mayor to pay their reward (and that Natsu had nothing to do with them…which was really difficult as he began to cling to Lucy's leg and begged her to pay attention to him), and then she had to put an end to a brawl when she arrived home, deal with Mira who was trying to match make Juvia and Gajeel of all people, and then get the girls to clean up the kitchen in the dorms as they left dirty plates all over the place! A long soak in the tub and a peaceful sleep was definitely in order.
And the dream that resulted was the best yet. Jellal was taking her out on a date, and they ate lots and lots of cake in a meadow filled with flowers, and he picked one for her and tucked it behind her ear, before he then grazed her cheekbone with his beautiful, long, fingers, and then he grabbed her chin and pulled her up into a kiss –
She felt a very real pressure on her lips midway through her dream kiss. Someone's actual lips were on hers and her warrior senses went haywire as something told her she was no longer alone in her bedroom.
Oh my God! Someone was trying to rape her! How they got past the booby traps the girls had put in place the foyer after Lucy found that peep hole, she doesn't know but she was going to fucking murder them!
She suddenly shot up, banging her head against her potential rapist, which sent him backwards onto the floor. And as he cursed under his breath, she summoned her most terrifying looking sword. "WHO DARES ATTEMPT BIRSMIRCHING MY VIRTUE?!" she screamed furiously. "NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH MY BODY LIKE THAT!"
"Erza!" her attacker cried out. "Calm down. It's only-"
She took a swing at him but he ducked, and therefore she took another, and another, and another, all of which he managed to dodge, until she feinted, whirled round, and kicked him hard in the stomach. So hard that it sent him soaring across the room. In fact she had managed to send her attacker flying out of the window.
"ERZA!" Jellal screamed as he hurtled down towards the ground. "IT'S MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-"
THUMP!
"Jellal?!" Erza cried out horrified as she suddenly realised it was her boyfriend's voice screaming out for her. She hurried to the window to find her boyfriend crumpled on the ground looking mildly dead. "Are you all right?!" she asked worriedly.
Jellal barely managed to smile and lift up a thumbs up to her before fell completely unconscious.
And that was how Erza almost killed her boyfriend for the fifth time that month.
Honestly, you would think Jellal – being an intelligent man – would have learnt his lesson by now. But sadly no….he never could resist the sleeping beauty that was Erza.
