Tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her mouth with both hands, breathless. It can't be…This…
"I've sealed some of my guilt into this lacrima, Erza." He said, calmly. She shook, tears streaming down her face. Her stomach dropped.
Somehow, she had an inkling of what he was doing…
Jellal tore a thin strip of gold out of the wall behind his throne, telekinetically. It drifted over to him, through the air, and he used his magic to superheat it. The molten metal shimmered, gleaming, and he formed a small ring from it.
She gasped, strangled; choking, her eyes drifted up to his face. Her breathing was harsh and ragged. She shook, tears streaming down her face, dripping into her lap. Her thoughts flashed through memories of him, and her gaze trailed from his eyes to his cheek.
He floated the glowing crystal lacrima down towards the ring, and touched the metal to the diamond. Her shoulders slouched, and her legs splayed beside her, rocking in place, on her ass. She bit her lip, chest heaving with her heavy pants.
The wizard saint dissolved his body into a frigid mist. He reached out with a formless hand, and grasped the ring; it's gleaming metal hissed, cooled, and Jellal re-materialized his physical body from the cloud of icy air.
Erza whispered something, with both hands clenched tightly against her breast. Dizzied, she watched him face her again, glancing over to meet her eyes.
"You are my reason to continue living." He said, eyes flashing. She shifted, scooting breathlessly towards him along the floor. Her pulse thudded inside her, violently.
She saw a memory of their first kiss, their time on the beach. She saw herself say "Your fiancée…Will she be your reason to continue living?"
She saw herself smiling softly, warmly, at him.
Jellal floated the ring over to her, silently. Erza reached out for it with both hands, trembling desperately. Tears streamed, endlessly, down her cheeks.
She closed her fingers around the ring, holding it tightly. Erza clenched her fist around it, and pulled it into her chest, eyes drifting shut. Tears leaked down into her lap, onto her thighs.
The redhead shivered, sobbing. Jellal raised one hand, grinning, and the flames around them flickered up.
A small noise escaped her as she panted heavily, lashes hovering low over her eyes. She shook, choking, and her fingers stroked the side of her face tenderly, holding the ring tightly in both hands. She sank lower, feeling her heart bursting, wracked by love and disbelief; she could feel his love and passion, his soul, his pride and his grief in the ring under her fingers. She could feel his infinite power and authority, sending shivers down her spine. "Jellal..."
Memories of his pain and regret, his evil, flashed through her mind. Erza opened her eyes, slowly, looking up at him. She savored the memory of his villainous deeds, breathless and speechless, crying. She bit her lip, recalling the evil he did and cherishing it, because any memory of him was priceless to her. Scarlet hair fell over her shoulders, framing her face, wet with tears and blood, with sweat.
He stared at her, calmly. Jellal reached a hand up, resting a palm on his shoulder. His silent charisma was overwhelming her, she couldn't take it, and her body quivered in place, stomach churning; She was almost nauseated by the intensity of her love and longing.
She looked away, blinking, chest heaving. Erza choked pack a wringing sob, pining. "Am…Am I your fiancée?"
He seemed to consider this, grinning. He turned slightly away, a moment later. His eyes drifted shut. "Can you stand?"
Erza felt a frigid breeze blowing past, and squinted. Her blurred gaze gradually cleared, as rays of brilliant light from the golden flames around them filtered through the room. She kept the ring in one fist, pressing a hand to her forehead as she grit her teeth. She adjusted herself on the floor, weakly, and managed to rise up a few inches, knees wobbling.
She collapsed immediately back down onto her ass, exhaling. Dizzied, she mumbled something before clearing her throat. "Errr…No." She admitted, peering sheepishly away, bright red. "I can't."
He smiled faintly, meeting her eyes. Turning his head, he flicked a wrist and two fingers. Erza felt herself being lifted off the floor, by his magic. Jellal set her gently down on two feet, and she tottered a bit, rocking back.
Her hair rested gracefully to one side, exposing her neck. Dried blood and sweat trailed down her, along her chest and torso. His eyes traced her body, down her legs; musing, he appraised the fresh wounds he'd inflicted on her. His lust boiled over inside him, tingling through his chest.
She hugged herself, and gave him a small, shy smile. A faint blush darkened on her face, tears still teeming in her eyes.
He took a step towards her; She leaned into him, tears leaking down her cheeks. He held her arms, and pressed his forehead against hers. Her eyes drifted shut, fidgeting, choking on her breath. Her heartbeat raced painfully in her chest, and she pressed herself tightly against him, holding his shirt as if for dear life.
He reached a hand up, brushing her cheek with his fingertips. "I Love you, Erza." He wiped her tears with his thumb, as she looked up at him, strangled. "My life belongs to you."
She trembled. Her breath hitched in her throat; Erza exhaled, bright red, before slipping the golden band onto her ring finger. Her face flashed up, peeking at him with wide, wet bright eyes.
Her tiny breaths were hot on his skin, and His thumb brushed the corner of her mouth. Jellal wound his hand into her hair, behind her head; He stared into her face through half-lidded eyes.
She looked up, leaning into him. Tears dripped down her cheeks, and she closed her eyes. He set his mouth on hers, and she opened her lips, breathing.
She melted into him, into his embrace, and whimpered softly, as he pulled back for a moment, separating them. A thin wire of saliva connected them, and dripped down the side of her chin. Erza rolled her hips against his, voice trembling. He grit his teeth, and she panted. Furious, building heat surged through her, arcing tenderly between them. She dug her hips into his, as he closed his mouth on hers again. Jellal's hand slid down to the curve of her back, crushing her against him. Her eyes snapped open as he grasped her firm backside, driving her closer; he pushed her harder into him, and the heated, delicious friction made her head spin. Her eyes flickered shut, kissing him with all her heart and energy.
They pulled apart again, and she gasped, chest heaving. Her breathing was harsh and ragged, and he grinned, a guttural growl escaping him. It echoed through her, in her chest…Erza bucked her hips against him, swiveling them on his manhood. She flushed, breath mingling with his. He held her tightly, trapped in his arms; His eyes flashed, ravenous, when she met his piercing gaze.
He kissed her through her salty tears, slanting his mouth on hers.
