A/N: I am going to put a lemon in this chapter, you have been warned.
"Take care of my brothers…both of you." Erza gave him firm nod and Wendy followed
Jellal's eyes opened and he groaned everything still hurt, but he had a feeling like he had succeeded in protecting his family, Everything was white almost blindingly so as he looked around he had the feeling he was floating on his back in a pool of water. 'So this is hell? Or did I get into Heaven? He thought wryly 'I expected a little more than this.'
His stomach rolled as he felt like he was falling, his hair whipped around him and he closed his eyes again the feeling suddenly stopped and his eyes cracked open, he was looking at an intricate white stone carving, he frowned and looked at his hand's 'Why am I wearing white gloves?' He questioned 'Why am I alive?' followed that question in his mind quickly.
The ground shook and he looked around, he spotted a woman dressed in a short white kimono a gold sash tided around the waist, he hands raised in the air and a dim white light enveloping them, he growled as he vaulted the ledge he currently stood on, Enveloping himself in gold light as he slammed his shoulder into her side, sending her across the room, she raised her head slowly and was apparently very surprised to see him.
"You certainly area disobedient pet." She taunted
Jellal's eyes narrowed and he shot at her, grabbing her around the neck and lifting her into the air "It was you! The whole time! I am going to kill you for this!"
She smiled cockily at him, before melting away in his hand, he closed his fist and flared at the spot where she had been standing, his knuckled whitened underneath his gloves as he clenched his fists.
"Siegrain! I think it's time you explain yourself!" The voice made him raise his head.
'Siegrain?' He thought with a frown.
Natsu gritted his teeth and splintered another tree in the centre of the East forest of Magnolia, He was angry, no that's was an understatement he was lived, he wanted to rip anything apart and that is why he was currently annihilating half a forest, it had been almost three weeks since they had gotten back from the tower and what do the piss-poor excuse for a council do? Ban Erza himself Raken and Wendy from missions for the next three months, he didn't have time to grieve he would let Raken and shoulder it, the same way he shouldered everything on his own.
"Natsu." Erza voice was almost too quiet to get his attention as she approached him, he hadn't realized she was there.
"How long have you been there?" Natsu said a little more harshly than he intended.
Erza sighed "Long enough to see you are hurting."
"I'm fine." Natsu replied flatly.
"Yeah, that's what I tell everyone else too," Erza fired at him, placing a hand on his shoulder "You don't have to do everything alone."
The dam broke, Natsu fell to his knees and just stared at the ground his shoulders shook slightly "I couldn't do anything! Just like when you got taken by Lullaby I tried to do it alone and I nearly died! I couldn't get us out of the tower when we were children! I told Raken we would save him, what kind of savior let's the person he is trying to save die?" He gritted his teeth and hit the ground with a closed fist.
Erza lowered herself down beside him "You know you aren't helping anybody by pretending to be fine, We know you better then you think we do…And beside the point I don't think the forest has enough tree's for you."
Despite everything, Natsu chuckled, just a slightly faster exhale but it was better than nothing "I don't know what to do."
Erza half smiled "I don't think there is a right or wrong answer." She leaned forward and planted a quick kiss on his cheek.
"Glad to see you tow are as mushy as ever," Natsu stayed still, the voice was so familiar he thought he had imagined it, he glanced at Erza, the color of her cheek's suggested she didn't really like getting called out and that also meant. Natsu whirled around and jumped to his feet, in front of him stood Jellal, only dressed in white like Siegrain did.
"Natsu." The blue haired man nodded.
Natsu stomped towards him and hit him, really hard in the face, he flew across the small clearing and slid along the ground, getting up a little slowly and holding onto his jaw "I think I deserved that."
"You think?!" Erza snapped standing beside Natsu "You are supposed to be dead!"
"Surprise?" Jellal held his hands out to the sides.
Natsu just glared at him "What happened? There better be a good reason you didn't try and talk to us at all."
"I am a civilian know, I don't have access to any message systems faster than myself," Jellal answered "So I walked here."
"Why are you alive?" Natsu demanded.
"Truthfully, I don't know…I was dead, or at least I think I was and then I was just in the magic council building all I remember is it felt like I was falling." Jellal explained what he knew.
"So the council wasn't happy with your trickery?" Erza asked
"Obviously," Jellal replied "But it was determined that I was under some kind of ancient spell or something so my actions were not my own."
"So you were demoted and removed from the council." Natsu finished
Jellal nodded "But I do come bearing gifts." Jellal smiled as he tossed a small letter to the pair in front of him.
Natsu raised an eyebrow at it before breaking the seal and opening it.
Natsu Dragneel,
It has been decided, you and your four man team for going above and beyond the regular Mage in both power reaction and for saving countless lives with the Tower of Heaven Incident, That you all we named as members of the wizard saints in recognition for your accomplishments. You are also cleared for missions.
The Magic Council.
Natsu just looked at the note in his hand and then back to Jellal "All four of us?"
Jellal nodded.
"This better not be a joke," Natsu glared at him "I swear to god if this is I am going to kill you for real this time."
Jellal raised his hands outwards "It's not a joke, I promise it is 100% authentic, look here." He flicked a pair of small cross medallions to them signifying their new rank "See?"
Natsu turned the thin over in his hand before fixing it to his collar, the three walked back towards Magnolia in relative silence only the sound of footsteps resounding in the tree's.
Jellal broke the silence "Forgiven?"
"Nope, I am still mad as hell." Natsu responded flatly.
"I'm sure Raken will forgive you though, he is a lot nicer than Natsu." Erza couldn't resist.
"Jellal you should find Raken at the guild hall, I would like to speak with Erza alone." Jellal looked at him with a frown before jut nodded.
"I will likely talk to you two later." Jellal nodded and took his leave, disappearing down the street.
Natsu turned his attention to Erza, she cocked her head to the left and raised an eyebrow in question, he smiled almost evilly and she frowned as he closed the distance between them leaning forward slightly so his mouth was close to her ear "I can be nice too," He purred into her ear seductively, his hands closed around her waist and pulled her closer to him, she let out a startled yelp before he pressed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss, which she promptly succumbed to, after a few seconds he pulled back, Erza placed her hands on his chest to allow herself to breath.
"That's," she paused to breathe "Not fair."
Natsu just smiled "And sniping me is? I think this is fair revenge."
Erza opened her mouth to retort, but ended up in another more aggressive kiss, she didn't mind exactly, in fact she thoroughly enjoyed the kisses, Natsu was surprisingly good at it. She pulled back when oxygen became a problem.
"You know, the house is not far from here." She winked suggestively.
"I do recall a promise made in a hotel I never made good on." Natsu replied tapping his finger against his chin as if in thought before raising a suggestive eyebrow.
She rolled her eyes and grabbed his wrist before practically dragging him their house, he kept her pace easy enough as the pair ran though the steadily darkening streets of Magnolia.
"Why did they ban us from missions?" Raken complained, his face on the wooden table and his hands laced underneath his nose, his voice was slightly muffled, Wendy sat beside him equally as irritated at their mission ban.
"They probably have some high and mighty 'We are the magic council and this is what happens to troublemakers' reason." Wendy replied.
"Didn't was save heaps of people and we didn't even break anything this time!" Raken's head shot up.
"I know, I know," Wendy responded "Not like we can do anything about it anyway."
Raken put his head back down "I wonder what Natsu and Erza are doing."
"Getting steamy I am sure." The pair's heads snapped to the newcomer and familiar voice.
No sooner had the door closed in Natsu's bedroom had the jacket's been discarded and Erza crashed her lips against his, he ran his hands up and down her sides as her lips gave his tongue access to her mouth, she moaned as he squeezed her breath lightly through her shirt before th pair pulled back for air, Erza's shirt came off her head in a flash and Erza being impatient just tore Natsu's shirt in half as they clashed together in another passionate lip lock engaging in fight for control in ht others mouth. Natsu pressed her backwards until her knee's hit the bed and her knees bent allowing her to lay back on the silken sheets hair sprawled out behind her as Natsu left a trail of kisses along her collar bone before going to the spot where her shoulder met her neck and nibbling on it slightly eliciting a loud moan from the dragon slayer.
Natsu's hand came to her chest and he squeezed and massaged them in a small circle in the palm of his hand, Erza's moan increased slightly in volume before he captured her mouth in another kiss, he pulled back and ghosted along her jaw line and down her neck, placing a kiss on her collarbone before taking an erect nipple in his mouth and flicking it with his tongue, she let out a surprised gasp at the feeling before another moan followed using one hand to prop himself above her, the other snaked down her upper body resting dangerously close to the hem of her pants, before snaking into her panties and moving the small bundle of nerves at the top of her womanhood in a circle with his forefinger, she moaned loudly and rocked her hips against his hand and he slipped a single finger into her core and pumped into her slowly continuing to swap from breast to breast with his mouth, she felt the coil tighten in her stomach and she moaned louder as the pressure built in her more and more before the coil snapped and her body went tight with her first orgasm of the night, she breathed heavily and her nails dug into Natsu's back slightly, Natsu didn't move for a few seconds before his hand left her still dripping womanhood and pulled the pants and panties off completely, Erza finally regained control of her mind, as Natsu leaned forward to place another kiss she used his weight to flip him over, straddling him with her hip's and placing them both fully on the bed, she deepened the kiss before leaving a trail of kisses down his body before stopped and pulling his pants off leaving them both completely naked.
She rocked her hips against his member and he let out a loud moan at the contact, she clashed against his lips again before sliding down his body, stopping slightly above his member, Natsu raised his head in surprise "E-Erza you don't have-" She silenced him with a finger to his lips.
"Think of it as revenge." She taunted vaguely as she moved her mouth above him, giving the tip and experimental swirl with her tongue, before closing her lips over the tip of his piece, Natsu used every ounce of his control to keep from driving his hips forward, she placed her hands on his waist and moved her head up and down slowly swirling her tongue around his shaft, he let out a moan and she inwardly smiled at her apparent knack for this, she didn't hate the taste of him, in fact he was oddly sweet to her and she couldn't explain why, she increased her speed and put more of him inside her mouth, Natsu's hand coiled around a clump of her hair the other gripped the sheets tightly still trying to reign in every urge to thrust his hips forward, She took him as far as she felt comfortable and hummed, the vibration causing another pleasured moan from the boy, before her name tumbled from his lips as he held her in place and released a loud down her throat, she swallowed it quickly and raised her head wiping the side of her mouth.
"Sorry." He managed to get out "I should have said something."
"It's alright," Erza reassured, swallowing once more just in case before capturing his lips in hers again, He rolled them over and positioned himself above her, before pushing into her folds in one quick movement, Erza moaned as the sensation of being filled hit here, her legs locked around his waist and her hands around his neck as he pumped into her at a moderate pace, filling the room with her moans as he slowly increased his pace, hitting into her harder and deeper her arms went limp and fell on the bed beside her as she struggled to keep her volume as indoor level only. He gripped her thighs tightly as he pushed into her, the coil began to tighten in her stomach once more and she moaned even louder as he found that spot that made her see stars, Natsu moved slightly and rammed into the same spot over and over again, Erza couldn't contain her wails of ecstasy as he did.
"N-Natsu…I'm going to-" She cut off as the coil snapped and she tightened around him tightly, causing him to let out a grunt as his release hit him, The pair laid completely still as they fell into blissful oblivion. Natsu was the first to move, slipping out of her and rolling over pulling the blankets around the two as Erza managed to rotate and fit snugly into his arms with a contented sigh, He left a lingering kiss on the back of her neck.
"I love you." He said warmly, she smiled but fell asleep before she could respond, Natsu following quickly after.
