You know, there are some oneshots I write that I absolutely hate because I had zero inspiration. Guess what category this oneshot comes under.
[Not Edited]
~~~ Start ~~~
After the everything in the Tower of Heaven was finally resolved, it was time for Erza and her team to return to the guild.
However, Shô, Wally and Milliana wished to sail elsewhere. They, unlike [Name] did not wish to join a guild. Join Fairy Tail.
And so... [Name] was left to chose. Her sister? Or her closest friends?
It hurt [Name] to chose. It can be considered unlucky that she even had to chose. The thought of never seeing her sister ever again scared her. But the thought of leaving Shô frightened her as well.
[Name] sat on a bench, head in her hands as she struggled.
A twin who she hasn't seen since childhood, who she missed dearly? Or her friends and crush, who were always there for her and she'll miss?
It was almost impossible, and at that moment, [Name] wished that she could just not chose.
But she was too afraid to not chose. She didn't want to be alone.
"Are you alright?" Someone sat next to her, causing [Name] to look up. Erza.
The one who she viewed as a sister since they met. The strong Erza who always protected her. The kind Erza who always helped her.
"Tell me, what's troubling you?"
"I-I don't know what to do" [Name] muttered, leaning back on the bench. "I want to see Cana again... but I don't want to leave S- I mean, my friends"
She stopped herself, blushing red. Erza smiled, catching on to what she was about to say.
"Do what you believe is right. I'm sure you'll see the other someday" Erza told the girl, patting her hair.
"But I don't know what is right" [Name] pouted, frowning the slightest. "Can't you decide for me?"
"You have to make your own decisions [Name]. Just like you decided to find your mother's friend that night" Erza smiled at her, standing up. "You should make your decision soon. But just know that whatever you chose, I will support you"
"Alright... thank you" [Name] said, bringing her legs on the bench. "I'm going to think about it some more"
"Alright then, I'll tell the others where you are"
[Name] sighed, nodding as she looked up at the bright stars in the dark night sky. A sky that she had seen throughout her childhood.
"[Name]! [Name]!"
She looked up, seeing Shô running towards her.
"What is it?" She asked, a smile appearing on her face.
"What are you waiting for?" Shô asked, holding a hand in front of the girl. "Let's prepare to sail"
"You know... remember the promise we made as children?" [Name] suddenly brought up, eyes glued downwards as she took his hand.
"Of course, we're going to sail around Earthland. I'm going to help you find your sister"
Upon hearing his words, [Name] froze, eyes widening.
That's right... she hasn't told anyone about her sister being in Fairy Tail.
Now that lead to another decision.
Tell him or not?
What are the outcomes?
"Hello? [Name]?" Shô asked, bending down and looking up into her eyes.
"Oh, sorry about that" [Name] smiled sheepishly, blushing the slightest.
All this time, she thought that he had forgotten. Forgotten their promise. Broken their promise.
And in that split second, [Name] made a decision that influenced her path.
"Let's go then, alright? We'll travel the world and see all sorts of places!" [Name] smiled brightly. Just like she had done when they were forced to work in the Tower of Heaven.
"Yeah, I can't wait"
[Name] made the decision to go with her friends. Perhaps if she was lucky, she would see Cana soon as well.
[Name] didn't want to disappoint Shô. He seemed so excited to help her. She didn't want to ruin it.
Because [Name] was always the one who helped him stand. Shô always wanted her to see him as strong. He wanted to be the person [Name] would rely on.
Since they were children, [Name] was always just like Erza. When Erza was forced to leave, it was [Name] who motivated everyone. [Name] who helped them all stand and find light once again.
It was hard to believe that she was ever so depressed at all. After she was separated from her sister, she was so sad. She was the one who everyone else helped.
After meeting Shô, [Name] decided to become strong. To become the one everyone else relied on. Because she wanted him to smile. To smile and be happy.
Cana was happy at Fairy Tail, with her friends. Why can't [Name] be happy with her friends?
"Great, then let's go" [Name] grabbed Shô's hand, dragging him towards the beach, where she knew Milliana and Wally were waiting.
"I'll keep my promise [Name], alright? I'll make sure that we find your sister" Shô reassured her.
"Thank you Shô, I truly am grateful that you're here." [Name] told him, happiness evident in her voice.
"Then promise me that you'll stay with me? Even after you've found your sister?" Shô cautiously asked, as though he thought that [Name] would leave them once she's found her sister.
"I don't need to do that" [Name] muttered, suddenly stopping. She dropped Shô's hand.
"W-Why?"
"Because... don't you see Shô?" [Name] turned around, looking up at the taller male. "I've already made that promise. No matter what happens, we'll be together right?"
"Of course"
"Good" [Name] hugged Shô, and he eventually wrapped his own arms around the girl, a blush visible on his face.
"You know... we are unlucky to have been forced into completing the Tower... we are unlucky that we had to go through that hell" [Name] started off, voice muffled. "But... I guess I am sort of lucky. Because I got to meet my friends now. Because I learnt magic. But most of all, I got to meet you. So, I'm really glad"
Neither said a thing after that, as they made their way to the boat later on.
They may have been unlucky before, but guess they can be considered lucky because of the bonds they formed during their time in the Tower of Heaven.
