Chapter 1: The Return

It had been a long ten years since Zuri had left on his mission, and Fairy Tail was buzzing with excitement as they prepared a grand celebration for his return. The guild hall was adorned with colorful banners and the air was filled with laughter and anticipation. Everyone was eager to see their friend and comrade once again, but there was one person who had missed him more than anyone else - his wife, Erza Scarlet.

Erza stood near the entrance, her heart pounding with a mix of nervousness and excitement. Her hair had grown slightly longer over the years, cascading down her back in fiery waves. She wore a new set of armor, a testament to her growth and strength during Zuri's absence. As she anxiously waited for him to walk through the doors, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions welling up inside her.

Finally, the moment arrived. The guild fell silent.

Zuri, now wearing a Blue Gi, stepped into the hall, a wide grin on his face

Zuri, now wearing a Blue Gi, stepped into the hall, a wide grin on his face. Cheers erupted from every corner, and Erza's eyes lit up with joy. She rushed towards him, her armor clinking with each step, and threw herself into his arms. Zuri caught her effortlessly, spinning her around in a tight embrace.

"I missed you so much," Erza whispered, her voice filled with love and longing.

Zuri's eyes softened as he looked into her eyes. "I missed you too, Erza. More than words can express."

The celebration began in full swing, with Master Makarov leading the charge. He raised his glass and made a toast to Zuri's safe return, telling him that he was forbidden from taking any more decade-long jobs for the foreseeable future. Zuri smiled and nodded, his gaze never leaving Erza.

"I'm perfectly fine with that, Master." he said, his voice filled with warmth. "I'd rather spend my time with my beloved wife."

Erza blushed, feeling a surge of happiness wash over her. She had waited patiently for ten long years, and now her husband was finally back by her side. She couldn't ask for anything more.

As the night wore on, Zuri regaled everyone with tales of his adventures. He spoke of the battles he fought, the friends he made, and the challenges he overcame. Erza listened intently, her eyes never leaving his face. She was captivated by his every word, hanging onto his every syllable.

After the celebration, Zuri turned to Erza with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Hey, Erza, remember how we used to go on missions together? Just the two of us?"

Erza's smile widened. "Of course I do. Those were some of the best times of my life."

Zuri grinned. "Well, how about we go on a mission together again? Just like the old days?"

Erza's heart skipped a beat. She had missed their adventures, their shared moments of danger and triumph. The thought of going on a mission with Zuri once again filled her with excitement.

"I would love that," she replied, her voice filled with anticipation.

Zuri's grin grew wider. "And after the mission, how about we have a date? Just the two of us?"

Erza's smile turned into a seductive smirk. "Oh, Zuri, you have no idea how much I've missed you. When we get home after our date, we're going to have some fun."

Zuri blushed, his eyes sparkling with desire. "I can't wait," he whispered, his voice filled with longing.

And so, as the night drew to a close, Erza and Zuri left the guild hand in hand, ready to embark on a new adventure together. Their love, stronger than ever, would guide them through whatever challenges lay ahead. And in the quiet moments they shared, their love would ignite, burning bright like a flame that could never be extinguished.
