Summary: Jellal experiences sympathy pains during Erza's pregnancy….well, sort of.
Pairings: Implied Jellal/Erza and general other friendship feels.
YouTube Prompt: A Natsu/Lucy video to 'A Million Dreams' from The Greatest Showman.
They were all counting the days for Erza's pregnancy to end.
It was to be expected really seeing as Erza could make a grown man breakdown into tears and then beg for his life on a normal day. So on a day when she was cranky due to morning sickness or the fact she craved vegetables or that her ankles were swollen and her back was sore and the baby was playing football with her bladder, it was actually a miracle the world itself was still intact.
It didn't help that currently Levy and Lucy were also in various stages of pregnancy and now the entire male population of the guild wished they were anywhere but home.
Regardless though none, not one single jolt of it, excused the fact that the eight month pregnant Erza suddenly stood up, waddled over to Jellal, and suddenly sank her fist into his stomach.
"Neugh!" Jellal groaned as he doubled over.
The rest of the guild gazed in Erza in absolute horror. Jellal had never been touched by Erza in her usual violent manner and the fact that she had just punched her one true love felt like a sign of an apocalypse on the horizon. If she was willing to hit Jellal of all people then no one had a chance whatsoever.
"ERZA!"
This came from the horrified girls, who were all a little braver when it came to Erza, as all of their jaws dropped wide open. Lucy and Levy in particular looked extra aghast as they clutched their steadily growing bellies.
"What?!" Erza snapped back irritably. "The baby took a shot at my kidney. Its sympathy pains!"
The guild (apart from the likes of Natsu who merely blinked in confusion) simply sweat-dropped in unison at that.
"Erm…Erza…." Lucy said hesitatingly, "I don't think you have fully grasp the concept of sympathy pains."
"No, no, it's all right," Jellal said hastily though he was still doubled over in crippling pain. "Trust me," Jellal wheezed out as he till clutched his stomach, "I am very sympathetic right now."
So was the rest of the guild…..for Jellal.
