A/N: Okay, okay, I admit, my work ethic is sub-par at best, but I'm trying (somewhat) I have about 4 things in the works. A genderbent Gray x Lucy which I'm working on now, a Maid-sama! which I am working on (kind of) a silly Erza x Jellal and a Kagura x Erza because the world needs more good Kagza lemons. Anyway, I hope all you have accepted the Hanako x Erza cuz its happening soon, sorry for misspelling and OOC-ness (P.S. Most of this chapter is in Erza's perspective, not Hanako's)
Erza's Story
Let's go;
As Hanako and I settled in for bed after the crazy vulcan fight, me lying next to her, I began thinking.
I started thinking about my lost partner, Yuuko Mori. Yuuko was my partner, both in and out of battle, which made her fall to thr evil l side of magic all the more painful.
She worked for Tartaros for many years before the battle came. I, gladly, never had to fight her. However, once everything settled down, a guild mate had informed me they had seen Kyouka murder her after she attempted to disobey orders and visit me while I was in that dank, musty torture chamber. I couldn't believe what I had heard. Sure, Yuuko was now part demon, working for Tartaros, and killing children for fun, but why would she disobey rules like that just to see me? She was such a high ranking officer too.
I never understood.
After about a month, Hanako showed up out of nowhere, unconscious, in the middle of a park.
She reminded me of Yuuko so much I had to help her.
After finally waking her up, I realized it couldn't have been Yuuko, Yuuko had black eyes and super long hair. Hanako, however, had piercing blue eyes. She did have long, black hair, however half was dyed an electric blue.
Their magic was the same, but I really don't see that as any reason to assume the two women are related. Mainly due to personality.
Yuuko was loud, always so protective and determined. Never afraid to speak up. Never one to care about what anybody thought, even me most of the time.
However
Hanako seems more like the person who doesn't speak up, stays low amd tries to be nice, always worrying about others feelings. Like she is afraid to say the wrong thing. Yeah, that may be because of the amnesia, but I really do not believe so. She really seems like she cares a lot about people other than herself.
It is an odd but welcome change.
They're similar too, despite the many differences.
They both work hard. Both don't give up. And most importantly, they're both people I care for.
These years without Yuuko have weighed so heavily on me. I kept blaming myself for her fall. I still do.
Hanako is just so much like Yuuko, she's making me almost forget my guilt.
Sleeping beside someone so much like the woman I love, I just couldn't help myself. Feeling another person's warmth next to me made me feel so happy.
So, pretending to be asleep, I grabbed the thing that made me feel things I hadn't in years .
It had been less than a week, but maybe it was her similarities to Yuuko, or maybe it was just her personality, but I knew I was falling for her, hard.
Hanako had never said a word about me holding her either of the times I did it. I figured she either didn't know or didn't care.
Then, the night after the encounter with the Vulcan, something insane happened.
Pretending to be asleep as usual, I wrapped my arm around her.
And she moved closer to me.
My heart was beating out of my chest as she grabbed my arm and wrapped it tighter around her waist, her hand on top of mine. She moved closer still and let out a satisfied sigh.
Does she feel the same?
I pulled her closer and put my chin on the top of her head. She stiffened.
Hanako's perspective
I pulled Erza's strong arm closer to me and I moved closer to her, loving her warmth.
I have absolutely no idea what made me fall for her. She seems like she is so familiar, but so different.
Her strength, courage, integrity, and her amazing smile just drew me in. We haven't known each other too long, but she is just amazing. Her body isnt too bad either.
Still believing she was asleep, I let out a sigh in contentment.
The red haired mage set her chin on the top of my head and pulled me tighter.
She was still awake
Damn it!
I stiffened, fear temporarily paralyzing me. I was insanely scared. She could feel the same way. That one thought changed everything that night.
I flipped around to face the woman behind me. Even in this room, lit purely by the dim light of the moon, I could still see a light blush on Titania's face (I heard someone call Erza "Titania queen of the fairies" on the train).
She ended up letting me go when I turned to face her, so I put my arms around her and pressed my face into the base of her neck.
She grabbed my shoulders gently and pushed me back a little bit. I loosened my grip and looked up at the Erza's soft features.
"Hanako, what are you doing?"
"I'm not even sure myself. I just know that... t-that I really like you" I looked down, embarrassed.
Erza looked away and a sense of dread filled my being.
"Hanako..." -no...no no no no no!-
"I-..." "Erza, stop." I sat up and was about to walk out before she could reject me.
All of a sudden I stopped. Erza had grabbed my wrist. "Hanako...don't go" I looked down, I had no idea why she would want me to stay, she may have hugged me at night, but she was sleeping.
I looked down, tears blurring my vision, sadness pulling on my heart, and started to pull away. She let go.
I kept walking, planning to leave, not even sure where I was going.
I thought I got out the door, I could have sworn I slammed the door. But before I could register anything. I was in Erza's arms, her lips on mine.
My eyes widened and my body stiffened momentarily before I relaxed into the kiss.
After a moment Erza pulled away and looked at me.
Unlike earlier, Titania's blush was heavy. Turning her face the color of her hair.
"Erza..." was all I could manage to get out
"Hanako, I-I had and still have no idea how to react to your confession... but that's only because" she looked away, her blush becoming deeper still "Because I feel the same way"
I stared, shocked, at the red head standing before me. Thinking back, I shouldn't have been so surprised. The woman had just kissed me, but my mind still had issues comprehending the idea the queen of fairies could like me back.
When I didn't say anything after a moment, Erza hugged me again, pressing my head into the top of her chest.
I felt heat rush to my face for 2 reasons. One, she wore a very low cut shirt to bed. Two, she didn't wear a bra so my face pressed directly onto her bare breasts.
I pulled away and looked at this woman, a woman I had barely known. Somehow, despite the limited time knowing her, I already knew I had strong feelings for her, love, even. I couldn't explain it.
"H-hey, Erza" she looked at me I wat to be with you forever and I have no idea why "we should go to sleep."
She looked at me, puzzled for a moment, before realizing what I had said.
"Wha-? Oh, okay"
I turned around and jumped back onto the bed, landing sprawled out on my stomach like a starfish. She laughed and laid on top of me. Not fully though, she probably would have crushed me. She had her leg between mine and her head next to placed next to my own, her arm draped over my shoulder blades.
"Ah, Erzaaa" I complained. I enjoyed the position more than I probably should have, but I figured we should sleep so we'd be ready for the guild the next day.
She flipped off me and I put all my limbs back into the correct positions. We then got back under the covers and Erza grabbed me again, but this time I knew she was awake, so it meant so it meant a lot more.
We fell asleep in each others arms, smiles on our faces
A/N: I'm so sorry for not uploading in forever. I realize I made apromise, but I also realize I suck at commitment... Either way. Sorry if Hanako already knew the nickname Titania. I sort of forgot.
Once again, thanks for reading!
See you next time!
