A/N: Sorry it's a day late, I got a headache and hit the sack earlier than I usually would, I don't appreciate getting called a 'lying cunt' for something outside my control, well whatever, hope you enjoy this chapter anyway.
She turned and the bright headlights of a large delivery truck caused her to lift her hand in front of her eyes, she wanted to move, dive, get out of the way, but her legs wouldn't do what she wanted them too, it was too late…
The next thin she knew was a roiling sensation in her stomach, she was falling? Something warm held her tightly there was a sudden jolt and a groan of pain, it took a few moments for Erza to realize she had closed her eyes, they opened slowly, she stared at the dark black coat that held the scent of someone she cared about, her eyes trailed up to his face, his eyes were tightly shut and he held onto her for dear life, She pressed on his chest, he had saved her, again, he always saved her and now he thought he had too.
His eyes snapped open and he stared at her, when he didn't let her go she hit him lightly on the chest "Let me go!" She shouted "I don't need you to save me!"
Natsu blinked at her, his grip slackened slightly before his hands came to her cheeks, he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and pressed his head forward, pressed his lips against hers, she was surprised at first so she just froze there, the kiss ended all too soon for her, she stared at him blankly all her arguments flew from her head and she had trouble getting them back, her heartbeat so hard against her ribcage she swore he could hear it.
"I'm sorry," Natsu closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against hers "I never realized that was what you thought," She opened her mouth to speak but words failed her "I don't care what happened to you in the past, I am not going anywhere and I am not going to let you quit on me either, you know what my plans for college life were? Pick a focus and try to get a job, I never thought about getting a friend, leaving the pit of loneliness I had been living in all my life, I am sorry I so royally screwed up, I never should have made you go to that club, I'm sorry I tried to change everything, I was an idiot." She smirked despite the situation.
"But I love you, Erza Scarlet, I love everything about you, your smile makes my day better, the way you always win our arguments makes me smile like a fool. so you better get used to having me around, because I don't plan on going anywhere."
She should have said something, but the exuberant smile and the overwhelming happiness that swelled in her chest took most of the thoughts she had. So she did the first thing that came to her mind, she leaned forward and kissed him, she poured all her feelings into the kiss and hoped they would reach him and judging from the way he responded they did. She pulled back as oxygen became scarce, she was almost saddened from the lack of warmth Natsu provided as she got to her feet, Natsu got up slowly, and stood wobbling slightly, she frowned at him, then she remembered hearing him groan, Did the truck clip him? Her eyes widened in worry and she darted to his side "What happened? Are you Alright?"
Natsu tested his right ankle tenderly, he winced as the toe hit the ground and recoiled from the ground "I think I landed funny." He answered truthfully.
She chuckled "Well, that's what you get for jumping out into traffic, didn't your mother ever teach you to look both ways?" She pulled his arm over her shoulder and supported him as they hobbled home in the pouring rain, by the time they arrived their clothing was soaked through and shivering.
Erza helped Natsu into his bedroom and he hopped over to his closet, using the wall as a crutch as he rummaged around with one hand, he pulled the same clothing Erza had worn last time she had gotten stuck here and tossed it too her "You use the shower, I will use the heater." He called after her.
He slowly began peeling his own soaked clothing off himself, a process made painful by his ankle, he wasn't sure if it was broken or sprained, but he knew it hurt like hell. After getting into dry clothes, he hobbled his way to the couch and pulled the small heater close to himself rubbing his hands together as the hot air blasted him.
Erza emerged from his shower a few minutes later, she carried a blanket out of his closet and wrapped it around him before sitting opposite him on the single couch, she stared at him for a few minutes as if trying to figure out what to say.
"What's eating you midget?" Natsu asked flatly.
"What are we?" He frowned but she elaborated before he could speak "I mean, I don't think regular dating rules really apply to us, I mean we aren't the most traditional of people."
He leaned back and rubbed his chin in thought "Well, that's true I mean you aren't really 'girlfriend' material." He smiled jokingly at her and she rolled her eyes.
"You are lucky your hurt, but don't push it, you aren't the most flattering boyfriend either, you giant flower." Erza retorted.
Natsu chuckled.
"But this is what I mean," Erza gestured between them "I don't want to lose this because we are…together."
"Well, this is what we do," Natsu responded "I mean I don't think I would stop proving you wrong for the world."
He pushed a little to far and she kicked him in the stomach, he grunted but the hit didn't hold any malice behind it, she smirked at him "Well how about this, you are my Agitator."
Natsu laughed "I think it suit's us."
Erza nodded in affirmation, before getting up and pulling the blanket around herself and leaning her head on his chest "You want to know the best parts about our arguments now?"
"Hm?" Natsu hummed in question.
Erza placed a hand on his cheek and turned his head, she leaned forward and placed her lips on his again, he returned the kiss fervently, she tilted her head to deepen the kiss and his tongue brushed against her lip, she opened her mouth and went on the offensive engaging his tongue in a battle royal for a few minutes before pulling back due to lack of oxygen, she leaned her head back on his chest and smiled.
He placed a soft kiss on the top of her head, in between her ears "I think we need to argue more." He joked.
She chuckled against him before falling asleep, she purred silently against his chest before Natsu got tired and leaned back slightly before falling asleep.
A/N: So? How was it? I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and just as a small piece of trivia, Natsu's confession was pretty much word for word my own XD, it's kind of tacky but it was the best I could do at the time, once again hope you all enjoyed! Peace!
