Chapter Four: Eagle Winged
Erza groaned and her hands fisted in the bed beneath her as talented hands worked out years of missions and stress from her body. She could feel her stress melting away with every pass of the strong hands.
Why in the world hadn't she done this sooner? This was heaven!
"See, Erza. Isn't this nice?" Lucy sighed from her position next to the red haired mage. Her voice was muffled from begin pressed face down into the message table, but Erza understood her nonetheless.
Erza opened her mouth to compliment Lucy on picking probably the best place in the world, when the misuse hit a particularly tough knot and she felt her insides liquefy.
Levy giggled from the other side of Erza as the mage let out a low groan. "I can't believe you've never done this before! Lucy and I make it a point to go at least once a month."
Erza turned her head so her cheek lay on the table and opened her eyes to look Levy. "I just never thought of it. I had other things on my mind."
"Like becoming the strongest mage?" Lucy asked.
Erza nodded. "Exactly."
"Well tonight, you're not Fairy Tail's mage Erza or Titania," Levy said around a sigh. "Tonight, you're simply Erza, a girl who is having a relaxing night with her friends."
She closed her eyes in thought. Just Erza. She hadn't been just Erza for as long as she could remember. Everywhere she went, her title went with her, not that she minded. She had spent years working on becoming as strong as she was. She had spent years running from her memories of Gerard and all that had happened before she'd come to Fairy Tail that she forgot what it was like to simply…be a girl.
Well tonight, she thought with resolve. Tonight, I will not think of missions, Gerard or training. Tonight I'm just a girl having a relaxing night.
At the thought, she felt a weight lift from her shoulders that she hadn't even known was there. She felt she could do anything and it was glorious.
