Erza POV

After I knocked natsu and gray out I returned to my seat. My leg is throbbing right now and it really hurts. I probably should not have done that but I did.

Too bad. I start eating my strawberry cake when lucy come up to me. She sits opposite of me.

"Hey Erza can I ask you a question." (Lucy)

"Yeah, sure what is the question?" (Erza)

"Why did you do that?" (Lucy)

"Why did I do what?" (Erza)

"When you saw wendy was about to get hit with a table why did you cut your cast off and punch the table into pieces?" (Lucy)

"Because I am the one who invited her her. I am the one who dragged her into this mess of fights and danger so it's my job to protect her." (Erza)

"Kinda like what natsu does with me?" (Lucy)

"Yes, kinda like that. Except his motives and my motives are a little different. But we both feel the need to protect you and wendy because we are the ones who dragged you into this mess." (Erza)

"What do you mean his motives are different?" (Lucy)

"And we all thought natsu was dense." (Mira)

"Wait when did you get here mira!?!" (Lucy)

"I have been here long enough. Now if we are finished talking about Nalu aka Natsu and Lucy's love life let's talk about erza and jellal." (Mira)

*while they have been talking a guild fight started again and no one or so they think can hear them*

*Lucy blushes* "there is nothing going on between me and natsu." (Lucy)

"Suuuurrrreeee." (Mira and Erza)

"Now what is this about you and jellal, erza?" (Lucy)

*erza sighs* "There is nothing going on between me and jellal. Mira just cant accept the fact that he doesn't want me. And no I am not going to force him into a relationship with me because he will be unhappy because he said he found a fiancee I know that was a lie . But I am okay with because I know he will have a happy life and that's what I want even though my feelings for him aren't reciprocatedthat does not mean I can'tbe happy for him . I just wont be a part of his happy life once he finds it." (Erza)

"That's really sweet erza. That also explains why you aren't at the guild hall when you know crime sorciere is going to be here. Because you dont want to pressure him." (Lucy)

"Yeah, if he wanted to see me he knows where to find me but he obviously doesn't." (Erza)

"I never thought of it that way but I wont abandoned my jerza ship until I have to." (Mira)

"Ok just don't pressure jellal with it like you do to me the next time they come to visit." (Erza)

As soon as the last words left her mouth erza disappeared.
