Okay...so looking back at my plans I realized it'd be cruel I ended it the way I wanted to. So...I'm thinking of giving an alternate ending. Sort of a little added chapter to the ending I intend to give. Just thought I'd say so before you got into the next fluffy part. You probably skip this...okay. Enjoy. Thanks for reading.

Erza's POV

I look around the manor trying to find Lucy. We were playing hide and seek. I look in all the bedrooms and even in her dad's office. I check the garden and in the kitchen. I check behind the living room couch and in the den. But I can't find her.

I look in the library and look around. I hear a giggle as I pass a chair. I look behind and I see Lucy curled up. I sit next to her and hug her. "I found you," I mumble. I hated hide and seek. I didn't want to keep my princess out of my sight. Lucy liked being called either Lulu or princess. I was her knight or Zaza.

"Very good, my knight. Here's your prize." She holds up a pendant on a silver chain. The pendant had a constellation engraved onto it, it being the stars. It formed the constellation Arphodite.

"It's beautiful."

"To show our betrothal. I thought you'd like it. For my pretty knight." She smiles and puts it on my neck. "One day I want to love you…"

"I'd like that…"I place my hand on the pendant and smile at her. "I'll have to get you one."

"Okay."

"I'll have a sword engraved into it. To show that your knight will be there to protect you."

"Yay." She hugs me. "My hero."

I puff out my chest proudly and grin. I feel safer around Lucy. A knight needs her armor but with her, I feel secure without such things. I could take on anything with her and be okay. I'd feel secure.

Lucy's POV

I walk around the manor, unable to sleep. I'm not supposed to leave my room but I couldn't sleep.

Nowadays Erza is around as much as she can. Sometimes we go to her home. Sometimes she and one of her parents sleep over so we can play more. Usually her mother is with her.

I walk through the balcony like hall that overlooks that ballroom. I see two figures. It's my mother and Erza. Erza is dancing around and giggling. She's dancing with my mommy. They are close, they have become like so over the time Erza has been around. I found out that my mother is her godmother and Erza's mom is mine. Though I barely have gotten to be around Mrs. Flora. She's quiet and reserved. I guess Erza got that from her mother because she was like that at first. I hope I can make Mrs. Flora open up soon. I want her to like me so she won't be bothered when I'm her daughter in the future.

I walk down. Erza sees me first and runs over to me. She blushes and bows. "W-would you like to dance, Lucy?"

I blush and nod. "I would love to." She pulls me close, the way a man would pull a woman in for a dance.

My mom looks at us with a small smile. "You two are so cute together," she says kindly.

Erza takes the lead in the dance. I barely know how to dance, just starting lessons, but she knows it quite well. "You're good…"I whisper.

"It's not that hard, the moves in fencing are more of a hassle," she says casually. "And ballroom dancing lessons have been part of my life since age four."

Soon momma leave us, going to get a book from the library so she can read me back to sleep. I hope she reads Key of the Starry Heavens. I love it when she does.

I'm left with this girl who holds me close and looks at me a woman looks at her husband, with love and care. I wonder if she'll always look at me like that. As we grow older and know each other better, draw closer to the day I marry her.

She stops dancing and just holds me. I can feel my heart speed up. She looks me in the eyes. "Lucy…"She rests her forehead against mine. I blush to the shade of her hair. "I…May I…do this…"She presses her lips to mine. I've seen adults kiss but I've never felt a kiss. It's warm and her lips are soft. She hugs me closer and keeps our lips together for another few seconds. I pull away. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't h-"

"Shut up, dummy." I hug her. "You weren't supposed to kiss me for a while."

"I couldn't help it."

Momma walks back awhile later. "You two should be heading back to bed," my mom says.

"Yes ma'am," Erza says.

"I can't sleep," I whine. "Can Erza sleep with me? Please mommy. Pleeeaase."

"Alright, if she wants to."

Erza smiles. "It's okay with me."

Momma takes us to my room and tuck us in. After she turns off the lights it's silent. I'm not next to her but I still can feel her body heat. "Lucy…"she says, breaking the silence.

"Hm?" I sit up.

She turns and looks at me. Her eyes sparkle. "I'm cold, can you come a bit closer?"

I know she's lying. Her skin would at least have some chill to it but all of her is so warm. I just allow her bluff and scoot closer to her. She hugs to me. I feel like a butterfly in a cocoon when she holds me, so wrapped up and safe. She doesn't have to be a wizard and she doesn't have to be a knight. Either way I know, with her, I'm safe.

"Erza…"I look up at her. I smile sleepily at her. "I love you."

She blushes madly. "I-I…"She hugs me tighter and buries her face in my hair. "I love you, too."

"Really?" I smile softly.

"So much…"

We've known each other for a few months. We spend almost every day together. She travels a lot to see me. I guess she really does love me. It was a matter of time we fell in love…but it was so fast.

I snuggle up to her and fall asleep. I can't wait to marry her.

Final note: Thank you for reviewing, following and favoring if you have. I'm surprised I have 10 follows for this story on the first two chapters. It's not much but it makes me really happy seeing you take interest in my stories. Thanks.

And if you haven't done either of those things, it'd be very much appreciated. I may not PM a review but seeing what you all think makes me happy and knowing you want to see more is just as amazing.

I hope to have the next chapter up soon. Depends on how much work I get from my teachers tomorrow or the rest of the week. So outlook so far so good. Have a nice day.
