Requested by
ItzLeeeev
I've seen your request quite a few times for Erza, so here it is ^^. Let me know what you think! Don't be shy! I might come back to change some of this in the future.
I think that this idea I had was really cute since the reader would be super protective of Erza when Jellal is in the picture.
Btw, this is a male reader ^^.
And also, if any of you guys love Harry Potter, why don't you request on my Harry Potter x Reader? I honestly love Harry Potter so much and I've grown a bit bored of writing so much for Fairy Tail to be honest.
Sorry that I have such a short attention span ^^.
Oh and I've finished a new anime recently and I've honestly fallen in love. It's Kuroko no Basket ^^. I really want to make a one-shot book on that or something, but what do you guys think? I know I have a lot of books but my attention span is just super short...

~~~ Start ~~~
A figure walked out of a shop and headed towards the Fairy Tail guild. In his arms were multiple boxes stacked on top of each other.
None of that hindered him as he walked on. People on the streets walked past, barely sparing him a glance as though it were a normal occurrence.
The giant door to the guild was kicked open and he slipped in.
Somehow, the male managed to dodge all the tables and chairs thrown around the guild. Perhaps it was because of the number of times he had done this.
He set the stack on the table the red-headed female was sitting at. She looked up from the slice of cake she was eating.
Stars immediately appeared in her eyes as she recognised the boxes. She beamed like a child.
"Strawberry shortcake for Erza Scarlet," the [Hair Colour] haired male smiled.
From the table next to theirs, Wendy's mouth watered as she looked at the number of cakes Erza had.
"Wendy, don't be like that... Erza's going to glare at you if you stare any longer," Lucy patted the younger girl's hair, her eyes never leaving Erza and [Name].
"You have no room to talk Lu-Chan, your mouth is watering too," Levy cried from her seat.
Most of the girls in the guild looked enviously towards the two as they all complained around the table.
"Why can't Gray-sama treat Juvia like that?" Juvia cried as Lisanna handed her a handkerchief.
[Name], as though he heard their complaints, turned around to face them. All of them immediately pretended as though nothing happened.
There was an amused smiled on his face as he caught the girls looking away.
As Erza continued to not pay attention to anything else but the cakes in front of her, [Name] stood up and took the box at the top of the tall pile.
He walked over to the table where the other girls were sitting and set the box down, all without dropping his smile.
"It's no strawberry cake but I've heard that it's still quite delicious," [Name] told them as he opened the box for them.
The girls watched in awe as they stared at the beautiful cake he placed in front of them.
"See Wendy, that's what the perfect boyfriend looks like," Lucy whispered to the young dragon slayer.
"It's so not fair, all the good guys are always taken," Levy muttered under her breath.
"But Levy doesn't like good guys, does she? She goes for guys like Gaj--"
"Shut up!"
Compared to all the other guys in Fairy Tail, one could say that [Name] was the best candidate to be a potential boyfriend.
Amongst all the unruly cavemen, he stood out alone as the perfect gentlemen.
However, he was already taken by Erza.
Though no one disagreed, for the two were perfect together.
[Name] sat back down opposite Erza, smiling as he watched her go through cake after cake. He reminded her to slow down to avoid choking.
"Made for each other,"
"Gray-sama..."
"Please don't start crying again!"
The commotion of the guild continued like normal. As always, it seemed impossible for it to be completely silent. Sweet moments like these were always interrupted one way or another.
It didn't matter what day of the week it was. The couple could never take a break.
"Oi! [Name]!"
[Name] sighed as he ducked the burning fist with ease. He turned his head to face the pink haired dragon slayer on the ground.
"What is it this time?" [Name] asked in a mocking tone as he smiled pleasantly.
"Fight me!"
"I rather not," [Name] simply said.
But of course, Natsu didn't listen. Fire surrounded his fist again as he launched himself at [Name] once again.
A sword appeared out of nowhere and smashed Natsu's face to the ground. Erza simply took another bite out of her cake with her left hand as the sword disappeared from her right hand.
[Name] smirked slightly at the sight as amusement danced in his eyes.
"Erza? [Name]? It's time," Mira called from where she stood behind the bar.
"Alright. Thank you, Mira," Erza stand, standing up.
[Name] did the same and glanced towards the stack of cakes that Erza had already half finished. He quickly gathered the remaining boxes to place in the back.
This year's S-Class trials were definitely going to be interesting, to say the least.

After the catastrophe that happened at Tenrou Island, Fairy Tail had three months to train before the start of the Grand Magic Games.
But we all know that those precious three months were wasted by those who trained by the sea.
[Name] watched silently from the sides as he loosened the front of his cloak, seeing them all wallow in despair at the time they all lost.
He didn't speak up until he noticed a bird flying towards Erza's head.
It suddenly stopped moving, its wings outstretched, as it seemed to be stuck in time. It was in midflight and yet, it was unmoving. Even its breath seemed to have paused.
Everyone turned to [Name] when they spotted the abnormality, their eyes asking him to explain.
"It has a note attached," the boy casually stated, walking over to remove the note tied to its leg.
He unfurled it, reading its contents as Erza looked at it from his side.
"What is it?" Gray asked, growing impatient from their silence.
"It's asking us to meet them at a suspension bridge in the west woods," [Name] answered, frowning slightly.
"Then let's go!" Natsu yelled, heading off.
Everyone, although some were hesitant, eventually followed him. [Name] folded the sheet of paper before sighing and following them.
He didn't like the feeling he was having.
They arrived at the broken bridge not long after. Upon seeing its state, [Name] was just about to turn back by himself when the bridge started to repair itself.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he caught up to Erza.
When the three mages appeared in front of all of them, [Name] knew that his feeling was right.
When they were children, they used to be the best of friends, though that all changed when Jellal changed.
They both had feelings for the scarlet-haired girl. [Name] knew that she like Jellal and not him. He started growing a dislike towards him, but never really showed it.
[Name] thought that he was only being unreasonable, so he accepted the fact that he would never win against Jellal.
But now that they've grown up and things have changed, he's found a reason to not like him.
Erza had feelings for him when they were children and now, he fears that she would choose Jellal over him once again.
History would repeat itself. She would take Jellal's hands instead of his own.
She used to talk to [Name] about it all the time, asking for advice and telling him everything she liked about Jellal.
He would be on the sides once again.
[Name] stepped slightly in front of Erza, glaring at Jellal.
Even when their talk with Crime Sorcière was over and they had started heading back, his guard never let down.
When Erza went to talk to Jellal, [Name] silently followed them, leaning his body against a rock as he listened to their conversation.
"[Name] won't ever forgive you," he heard Erza mutter.
"I know. And I wouldn't forgive myself either," Jellal answered. "I killed a friend and lost my best friend."
"But that wasn't you. Can we treat you the same as before?"
"I would be glad if you could. But about Simon... I understand if you don't want to have anything to do with me," [Name] would barely hear Jellal. "I've prepared myself for death if you or [Name] wished to seek revenge."
Upon hearing that, [Name] clenched his fist, feeling them shake.
No matter what happened, he knew that he couldn't truly hate Jellal.
He didn't know why.
Perhaps it was because Jellal was once his closest friend. They were just like brothers.
Or perhaps it was because Erza loved him.
There was once a reason he tried to be perfect. He only wanted to impress Erza. To prove that he could be better than Jellal.
He loved her and only wanted to help her.
"Has he told you his feelings?"
"Quite a while ago. I was surprised," Erza admitted. "But I'm more than happy with [Name] now."
"I see. I wish you the best of luck in the future,"
"Thank you."
[Name] heard their conversation end and he made a decision to walk towards them.
He took a breath before taking his first step.
"Erza. It's getting cold, you shouldn't stay out for too long," [Name] called.
Both of their heads turned to him and he could see Erza smile slightly.
"I'll be fine," she told him. "But you're right, let's go Jellal."
"I might stay here for a bit," Jellal said instead, casting his eyes away.
"Alright,"
[Name] pulled off his cloak and set it around Erza, leading her away from the cold wind outside, his hand on her shoulder.
"Just... don't die," [Name] muttered for Jellal to hear. "I really won't forgive you if you did."
Jellal looked up in slight surprise at his words but smiled slightly nevertheless.
"I won't."
Erza smiled brightly when she heard [Name]'s words and held onto his cloak.
Things may never go back to how they were, but she honestly wouldn't mind.
She's fallen in love with [Name] over the years, her feelings for Jellal long forgotten.
If they could all start anew, then that wouldn't be too bad either.
From how things were looking now, everything seemed perfect.
