In a strange bed

I woke up slowly, wasn't quite sure where I was. Lifting my hand to my face I felt sluggish like I was woken from a long nap. Touching my forehead with my index finger and thumb I tried to rub out something, but I'm not sure what that something is. Sitting up I look around me, I'm not in my room, I'm not in the guild, I'm not at my dads, so where am I? I turn to get up off of the bed and in doing so a dull ache courses through my body. "what the hell?" I whisper to myself, "what happened last night?". I slowly stand up from the bed and a lightweight white sheet that I didn't know was on me fell to the floor. 'oops I better make this bed, I don't want to be a rude guest'. I fixed the bed nice and neat and then made my way to the door, I hesitated for a second, 'who's house am I in? I don't remember ever being in a room like this before.' so wracking my brain I went through each and every room that I had ever been in from all of my family in Fairy Tail. Levy? No, there isn't a book and bleach smell in here. Lucy? I would know if I was in her apartment and this room looks nothing like Fairy Hills.

I equipped a small knife into my hand and my speed armor underneath my PJs Incase I needed to fight. But once I did I felt an enormous rush of power, power that I have never felt before, far surpassing my own, yet it was my own. 'I can't be distracted by this now.' I thought, ' I have to stay focused.'

I very quickly opened the door and dashed into the room, attempting to land behind the couch where nobody would see me. What happened I was completely unprepared for. Everything went wrong from the beginning, the door I threw open slammed through the wall and was flung off of the hinges, the door knob was crushed like play dough in my hands and was violently removed from the wood and was sent rapidly out of the window. I crashed into the couch with such speed that I sent half of it through the window leaving the other half completely unmoved like nothing happened. Picking myself up and dusting myself off I was now fully awake.

"What the hell just happened." I said aloud, "I have never moved so fast in my life. How did I get Like that?" At that moment I heard a whistling like an alarm and by reflex I through a cutlass that I pulled from my storage at the sound with impossible speed, dashing through a door and through many walls until it reached outside as I was able to see from the successive holes. "I need to hold back until I learn where this insane strength has come from."

Right then I see a piece of paper on what looks to be an extremely fancy coffee table, this could have been in the King Fiore's castle for how it looked! And a big black pane of glass just hanging on the wall. Now that I think about it everything in the house is very unfamiliar to anything I have ever seen. No Lacrima fire, or lamp, or fan. No lacrimas at all. I picked up the note slowly and I immediately recognized the handwriting, how could I not? I taught this oaf how to write.

Dear Erza, 'really dear? Wow I think that's the only greeting he know.' I had to step out for a while to get some cream for tonight's cake but I will be back in about 20 minutes and I hope you don't read this because then that means you woke up before I was back in that case you are reading this which means I didn't get back in time which means that you woke up while I wasn't there so that will be a problem so I need to be there quickly and ughhhh if you read this site down on the couch and wait for me. ~Natsu. Please don't get mad.

"Wow." I said aloud. 'He has no idea what punctuation is and it looks like he wrote this in 5 seconds. He even left the door open when he left. Wait.' I walked to the door and then looked back at the room. 'This isn't Natsu's house, I have been there before. What is going on?'

Right then I heard footsteps rushing up some stair and again I instinctively threw my sword as this person reached the doorway.

"Woah Erza what are you doing?" Natsu said as he easily caught my sword even though I had thrown it at least 5 times as fast as I usually throw.

"I, I'm sorry Natsu, I am a little confused at the moment, what is going on? Why am I so strong? And… why are you wearing that?" I said after noticing his strange clothing. It was a T-shirt with strange markings going in a circle around and upside-down until meeting again with the start, and inside the circle was some kind of instrument that I have never seen before with a weird guy sticking his tounge out in some kind of pose. Below the belt was this fabric that almost shone, it was glossy black and looked extremely comfortable. The only thing I recognized were his sandals that he has always worn. But these looked, better?

"Ah Erza I thought you might notice, Levy said this would happen. So I went first a couple weeks ago so you could deal with it first."

"What are you talking about Natsu? What's going on?"

"Erza, we aren't in force anymore."

"OK so where are we?"

"Not where, when." I started at him blankly before he continued. "Thought that might freak you out, sit down I'll make you your favorite tea and I'll tell you all about it." Natsu walked away and I slowly lowered myself into what was left of the couch.

As Natsu walked away my eyes trailed his movements, that's when I saw every thing that I broke, start to burn. As he walked past what I destroyed they burned rapidly until there were nothing, not even dust. Looking down I realized the couch had been burnt as well, very accurately and the cushions were no longer spilling the weird itchy substance. Even burnt and broken this was by far the most comfortable couch I have ever sat in. If I wasn't so on edge I would just fall asleep right now.

"OI?! Erza what the fuck did you do to my tea kettle?! You got me this for my birthday!"

I jumped at his outburst, "huh? What do you mean?! Is that what was screaming at me?"

"yeah I guess so" mumbled a disappointed Natsu, "I wanted some flaming ghost tea. OK Erza I guess we do this now" Natsu exclaimed taking a seat on the floor in front of Erza, leaning back on his hands so his shoulders pushed up near his ears, 'He is more flexible than he used to be.' Erza thought.

"What's going on Natsu I want a straight answer."

"OK Erza, Dragneel. You're my wife, and have been for over 1200 years."

"Stop lying and tell me the truth!" I yelled as I threw something out of my space at him, but he put out his hand and equipped it into his space, but for some reason I felt that the book was in my space again, strange.

"I'm not lying Erza, you're my wife and I'm your husband, we were never able to have any kids though, and that's my fault, so we were kind of the day care couple at the guild, I kinda wish Gajeel and Levy were a little less impulsive because we have babysat at least 50 generations from them. All of them the same crazy bunch".

"OK just to entertain the idea that you're telling the truth, how do I not remember any of this?"

"Because it's a side effect of removing your guild mark." Franticly I checked my left arm.

"WHAT?!" I screamed. "What happened to it?!"

"You removed it. Since defeating Zeref we have been immortals, unable to age, change physical appearance or die, however our skills and magic power as well as strength can be augmented further with training. We stopped training 500 years ago and we are still at this level."

" why don't I remember this? Why is this room so strange and new?"

"Erza, we are some of the last people left from the fairy tail you knew, Biska and Alzak chose the mortal life, Grey and Juvia died together in their sleep almost 1000 years ago, the master never held immortality, Jellal died in my battle with Zeref, Evergreen and Elfman split up after 100 years or 2, and evergreen had to remove her mark, mira and Lucy actually tied the knot, nobody saw that coming."

"haha! really? You didn't see that coming Natsu? Mira can turn anyone lesbian, and Lucy has always been a little curious."

"OK then, we'll Laxus never really took up a wife, he roamed like Guildarts, who is still alive, but got tired of this life about 300 years ago when electricity was finally invented."

"What do you mean? We have always had electricity."

"we didn't know about it at the time, but Alvarez had a failsafe Incase Zeref ended up losing the war, they detonated a planet wide face bomb, killing many species that needed magic to live and making guilds almost useless."

"But I still have magic, lots of it!"

"yes but you were under the protection of Fairy heart at the time and with infinite magic ours could not be destroyed. We have lived as a sort of police for major wars and events for over a millenia. But we grew tired of this life and wish to let it slowly end. A side effect of removing the immortality is a temporary loss of memory, it usually only lasts a day and last week you finished teaching me how to handle you when it was your turn."

"Natsu, this is a lot to take in." I don't know if I can believe it."

"You told me you would say that, it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, in a day you will remember it all anyhow.?" now how about we go take a nap? I have been up since 3 and you look like you could use some relaxing."

"Yeah sure, just no sex yet because I don't remember our last 1200 years of it." ha. Good he laughed, this is the Natsu I know. I only remember barely falling for him, now we are married? For 1000 years? I look the exact same. A nap does sound good.

We crawled into bed and he wrapped his arms around me snugly, 'I always wanted him to do this again.' I thought.

"Hey."

"Yes, Erza?"

"What did you mean when you said that we were never able to have any kids?"

"When Igneel was creating the antibodies for dragonification in my body it made me temporarily vulnerable to magic overflow. When Igneel died he granted me the remaining of his magic contained within him, which was 100 times what I was capable of holding at the time. So I f was stored in my soul until I could use it. But all of the time I had to hold it in my most sensitive organs to magic were damaged, my testes. And so I became infertile. And you tried to get sterilized to escape an eternity of periods but your skin wouldn't stay open long enough for surgery and when they did fix you you healed within hours."

"Oh. I'm sorry Natsu." I said as I drifted off into sleep, confused yet comfortable, in Natsu's arms.

Ok guys what do you think?! Modern AU with the remaining Fairy tail members and I will be telling the story in flashbacks as Erzas memory regenerates.
