"Why did you do that?"
"Why not? You should be thanking me that I let her have second place. She is nothing more than trash."
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt her that badly. I just had to prove to my father that I'm stronger than her.'
"I don't care if you are the strongest guild in Fiore, you picked the wrong guild to anger."
'If only you knew, you would have done the same, Titania.'
(Minerva had stabbed Kagura and released Millianna from her magic)
"What happened to her?"
"You two were taking a long time with your fight so I entertained myself by hurting her."
'That's not true. I had a mental breakdown when Lector and I were arguing about what he had told my father in front of our guild and blasted him. I didn't realize I had done then your cat friend joined in and was on Lector's side. Out of rage I attacked her and saying that it wasn't true, saying that relying on others was another sign of being weak.'
(When Erza is in her Nakagami Armor)
"I want to pay you back for hurting my friends."
"N-No! Stop! I-"
'Please! I can't bear to lose! Anywhere but here! I never meant to hurt them it's just that-"
Minerva was hit. Later on after the Games were over Minerva was sobbing as she laid on her side with her dress so badly torn.
'It feels just like before...please...I didn't want this...'
(In the Sun Village after their fight.)
"Let's leave our fight right here for now, Erza. We can pick up where we left off on a better stage."
'You're letting me go to a place I don't want to return to. You just like the others.'
"Don't let the darkness corrupt you! You're better than this, Minerva!"
'You...give me a chance to show you who I really am? Maybe next time. If I win, you'll be mine but if I lose well I'll figure it out later.'
(On their last fight.)
"My fist is crying because it hit you. What is the meaning to this fight?"
'You have beaten me, three times now. I can't do this anymore.'
"The meaning of this fight is no more now."
"Why?"
"I want you to take that fist and kill me."
'Please Erza, just put me out of my misery. I have harmed your friends, almost killed them and you. I can't go on like this anymore.'
"You are who are Minerva. I'm not going to kill you."
'Why not Erza? Why won't you?'
"I'm sure that there are people who want you to come home."
Dream End
Minerva woke up from that dream then she sat up on the bed.
"Thank you, Erza."
She blinked when she noticed that she was the only one in the bed and to her surprise she saw white bandages that were neatly wrapped up then she got off the bed.
"Erza? Are you still here?"
She soon arrived to the living room only to find Erza eating strawberries. What shocked her even more was that Erza was able to see because she had looked up with a strawberry in her mouth. Minerva was overjoyed that she tackled Erza to the floor. As she was on top of Erza she stroked Erza's face.
"Erza, you have all of your senses back."
Erza just looked at her then Minerva hugged her firmly.
"I'm so happy."
Minerva leaned over and kissed Erza who had brought a hand up to Minerva's shoulder. Minerva didn't seem to be bothered with Erza putting both hands on her shoulders as they were kissing. When they were done kissing Minerva looked at Erza who just looked up at her.
"...Min...erva..."
"Yes, it's me."
Erza then placed her hands on Minerva's cheeks then spoke.
"Are you my demon guardian?"
Minerva smiled.
"Something like that."
Erza smiled then brought Minerva down for another hug. They stayed like that then Minerva got to her feet and helped Erza to hers.
"I must take you back to your guild, Erza."
Erza blinked in surprise.
"Why?"
Minerva looked at her.
"Your master only wanted me to look after you until you recovered."
Erza looked like she was about to cry.
"I don't want to go back, I want to stay here with you!"
Minerva just looked at her. She honestly didn't want Erza to leave but at the same time she didn't want to get in trouble. She gently placed her hands on Erza's shoulders.
"It's going to be okay, Erza. If they let me I'll visit you while you're back in the guild."
Erza looked at her.
"Promise?"
"I promise."
Erza hugged her and Minerva returned the hug, rubbing her head.
"I love you, Erza."
"I love you too."
"I love you more."
"I love you more than cheesecake."
Minerva was amused by that but she remembered that Happy had told her that Erza will kill anyone who even touched her cake so she made sure that when Erza had gotten her taste sense back she would give her cake.
"That's some serious love right there."
Erza giggled then Minerva kissed her forehead.
"You are my light, Erza."
The End.
AN: I didn't want the story to end! It was fun to write it though. I hope that you all enjoyed it and thank you for reading, reviewing, favoring, and following. Hopefully I could think of another ErzaxMinerva fanfic! Take Care!
