Day 3 : Savior

He was her savior, whether he knew or not, was another issue.

He was nothing to her, but also everything to her at the same time. From her childhood, he had been her best friend. He was her age and...he intrigued her. He was smarter, kinder, and she picked up her leadership qualities from him. And she had missed him, all these years. Then she joined the guild, and she gave it her everything. But she knew that somewhere her heart still yearned for him.

And it broke her, in the tower, looking at what her dearest friend had become, that he wasn't the Jellal she had looked upto anymore. The one she was waiting for didn't exist.

The second time he had managed to break her was when he had rejected her at the beach. She knew he was lying about his "fiancee" of course. She had understood that he didn't want her, but that didn't make it any less painful. So she let it go, she cared for him deeply and she always would, but she wouldn't dare push herself onto him.

The miraculous thing about these incounters were that they managed to break her, reduce her to tears, but they filled her with relief. Relief that he was alive and well. And regret, that she couldn't free him from the guilt that he battled within everyday. She had forgiven him a long time ago, the question to be asked though , was when would be he forgive himself? She wanted it to be soon. Because by simple existing, he helped her live. By speaking to her, like he owed her something, it saved her from the loneliness, the pain. And she believed that he would see sense soon, and live with the one he loved. He was a pure soul, a beautiful one. And she wanted him to be happy, like he was supposed to be...like he deserved to be.


She was his savior, whether she knew it or not was another issue. She would never admit it but was a fact that without her interference, he would be in a worse condition than just a escaped prisoner. Maybe he would still have been in Zeref's evil clutches, or dead. He owed a lot to Erza Scarlet, more than he could ever repay.

She had saved him from killing himself that day. That day when he had foolishly claimed to have a fake fiancée. He still had conflicted feelings as to what he should have done, did he do right by lying? Or wrong? His reasoning, of Erza walking the path of light was more to convince him, rather than others. She was a pure soul, no to be corrupted by his darkness. That is what he told himself, to keep away.

He was not worth it, all her energy, all her attention that he had gotten when he was possessed. He had destroyed her, killed her love, one who had done a heavenly deed by sacrificing himself for her, Simon. He held himself responsible for his death. But she had forgiven him, she had told him to live.

She had saved him, by every word she said, everything she did. But she did not know that very well.

"Perhaps I'd be better off dead"

He had gotten a slap for that, a well deserved one at that. She wanted him to live, and she had told that to him in a string of words, forever etched in his memory.

"Coward!"

"I'm not as strong as you are..."

"So you're just going to stop living because you are not strong enough?"

"Besides that's not true..."

"Being alive...is a sign of strength"

She had taught him a lot that day. Including the fact that he wasn't allowed to die any time soon. He was to live for the one he loved. And he would, definitely.

He would live for her, just like he had promised.
