Request: How about Jellal and Erza as kids in the Tower talking about their dreams for their futures?
One-Shot:
Jellal held Erza close as they stared out the small window, eyeing the distant stars. It had been a particularly gritty day, and both children were worn out in both body and soul.
"What do you want to do in the future, Erza?" Jellal decided to ask, trying to coax the redhead into a light conversation.
"I want to save people," she responded quietly, leaning into the boy's side. Immediately, he wrapped an arm around the girl, pulling her close and letting his warmth wash over her.
"You'll be great at that," he smiled at her, glad when the gesture was returned in thanks for the compliment.
"What do you want to be when you're older, Jellal?" Erza asked, her amber eyes wide with curiosity. He beamed at her, already having a solid answer in mind.
"I'm going to protect you forever and ever!"
