This chapter took me sooo long to do. Please excuse me if it was too crappy. Please Enjoy :D

Lucy stood at the doorstep of Fairy Tail, reluctant to keep moving. Erza was behind Lucy, seeing if Lucy has enough courage to go in herself. She could see slight trembling coming from the blonde.

"Lucy. Are you ready?" Erza asked.

Lucy looked over her shoulder to look at Erza. "Do they know?"

"Know what?" There were couple of things that raided Erza's mind that was possible for the guild to know about Lucy, possibly about Erza as well.

"My memories and such."

"Don't worry. They've been informed on what had happened. I'll make sure they won't overwhelm you."

Lucy sighed. "Are you going to open the door?"

"Don't you want to go in first?"

"...I'm scared."

Erza tapped Lucy on her shoulder. "It'll be fine. Fairy Tail is your home, your family."

Lucy takes a deep breath and stares at the redhead. "When will you open the door?" Lucy wanted to get this over with.

Chuckling, Erza stepped forward and opened the door. Lucy stayed behind, reluctant to move, opting to watch behind the door as Erza moved to the center of the room. Soon, the attention was directed to Erza, seeing that she has something to say.

"Erza. Good to see you. How's Lucy?" Mira smiled as she approached Erza.

"Lucy? She's right-" Erza turned, expecting to see Lucy by her side, but finds that she was nowhere to be found. She looked back and sees Lucy still outside, peeking through the door.

Erza sighed.

Mira followed her gaze and sees Lucy. "Is she okay? Why is she hiding?"

"Let's just say that she had second thoughts about coming here." Erza said as she made her way back to Lucy.

"Lucy. I thought you want to meet them." Erza whispered.

"Well...there are some scary people in there." Lucy said, as she eyes a man with a scar on his face, or the pink-haired boy from earlier.

"They're good people. I promise you." Erza smiled, trying to reassure the blonde.

Mira approached them with her famous smile. "It's good to see you again, Lucy."

Lucy cowered from her. For some reason, her smile terrified her. "You're creepy." Lucy murmured.

Erza immediately covered Lucy's mouth with her hand nervously, hoping that Mir would not snap. Thankfully, Mira was still smiling, looking unfazed. But Erza knew better. Mira was probably shocked on the inside. Erza agreed with Lucy as well. Mira's smile can be...terrifying at times.

Erza also recognized that smile...her matchmaking smile...that not's a good sign. The world will soon end...She doesn't know...does she?

"I'm sure Lucy didn't mean that. She's scared right now." Erza nervously chuckled, hoping that Mira would not pry into the situation.

Realizing her mistake, Lucy moved Erza's hand from her mouth. "Sorry if I offended you."

"That's fine, Lucy. I'm glad you're okay." Mira kept smiling.

Erza grabs Lucy's hand and dragged her inside, much to Lucy's discontent.

Soon Lucy was surrounded by the people that were good friends with her. Levy, Cana, Lisanna, Natsu, Gray, Happy, Elfman, Jet, Droy, Wendy, and other members surrounded Lucy.

Though they know of Lucy's condition, they couldn't help themselves, asking her questions and talking to her, glad to see her back home, safe and sound.

"Lucy!" Natsu jumped forward, landing in front of Lucy with a big grin.

Lucy recognized him. He was the one that barged into the room when she had woken up. She was told by Erza that Natsu was an idiot and doesn't think of the consequence. Now, she begins to wonder...

Natsu attempted to bring Lucy in for a hug before an armored fist connected to his face, sending him across the room.

Natsu stood back up, unfazed by the attack. "Oi! What's the big deal!?" Natsu yelled, glaring at Erza.

Erza did not say anything. She only glared at the dragon boy with petrifying glaze. Natsu sweated a bit under her glaze. No touching...Natsu mentally noted. But he wondered why he couldn't hug his friend.

Lucy was soon bombarded with questions, if she was okay, if she remembers some stuff...

Lucy hesitantly replied to each of the questions thrown at her. She realized that were holding back, trying to keep their distance.

Erza stood next to Lucy, throwing daggers at everyone to have tried to approach Lucy at a certain distance. She doesn't want anyone to take her away, nor steal her away...

Couple hours later, it was almost nighttime, the sun setting down, illuminating the town in a beautiful glow of light. All the while, Lucy sat at the bar in the guild, quite exhausted from the Guild's persistent bickering.

"You feeling okay, Lucy?" Mira asked, cleaning some cups from behind the bar.

Lucy turned to Mira. "Hm? Oh, yeah...I'm fine. I think the guild is fine." Lucy turned to look around the guild, only to see couple of brawls. "Is it normal for them to be fighting like this?"

Mira smiled. "Of course. Fairy Tail wouldn't be the same without." Mira had a moment of de'ja vu, explaining to Lucy about the guild when she ha first joined.

Lucy sighed.

"Lucy!"

Lucy turned and sees Erza with two plates with strawberry cake on it. She handed one to Lucy.

Hesitantly, Lucy takes the plate and set it in front of her, and watched as Erza sat next to her, immediately eating her cake.

"Thanks..." Lucy muttered.

Erza paused, looking at Lucy with a smile. "It's the least I can do. It's good to have you back."

Even though Lucy knows what Erza meant...she couldn't but help but think that Erza's still waiting for her to regain her memories.

"Erza..." Lucy started, looking at Erza who was stuffing down the cake in her mouth bite by bite at an alarming rate. Is she even eating them?!

After couple of bites, Erza turned to Lucy with curiosity in her eyes. "Yes?"

"Are you...only with me, waiting for me to regain my memories?"

Erza paused for a second, hesitating on how she should answer. "Partially."

"You...I may not even remember..."

"Perhaps. But, that does not matter." Erza responded.

"That's not the point. I feel like you're waiting for something...waiting for me to remember something."

Erza sighed as stood up, grabbing Lucy, and carefully dragging her out of the guild. "We'll talk about this privately." Erza said, while gingerly tugging Lucy to her apartment, their cakes solely forgotten.

Perplexed and curious, Lucy allowed Erza to take her back to her apartment.

After closing the door behind her, Erza turns to Lucy who was looking at her with curiosity. Erza guided Lucy to sit down on a couch and sat next to her.

"Lucy...even if you don't remember, you're still the Lucy I know." Erza started, looking Lucy in the eyes.

Lucy stayed silent, silently gesturing Erza to continue.

"I'm not...really expecting you regain your memories. The doctor even said that you may not regain them."

"Ok...I feel like you have something else to say." Lucy assumed.

Erza gulped, clenching her fists "...I'm being selfish here. Lucy, please don't hate me." Erza leaned closer to Lucy and wrapped her arms her, bringing her close.

Lucy was tensed, she wasn't expecting any physical contact from the redhead.

"Lucy...ever since you had left...or kidnapped. I've been having these dreams, dreams that made me realize something. I soon regretted not doing it sooner...regretted not to keep you safe." Erza whispered, her voice starting to crack from incoming tears.

Lucy listened, and soon could hear a soft sob from the girl that was hugging her. "Erza..." Lucy never thought Erza was the type to cry...

"Lucy...I'm sorry..." Erza repeated over and over, tears falling down her cheeks, staining Lucy's shirt in the process, and hugging Lucy tightly, making sure that Lucy was close to her.

"Why are you so sorry? I'm still alive..." Lucy murmured, not understanding why Erza was making a big deal out of it. Lucy hesitantly wrapped her arms around Erza to calm her down.

"No..." Erza sniffed. "It's just that...I never had the chance to realize what my feelings were before you were kidnapped. I only wished...that I realized it sooner...and maybe...you wouldn't be in this situation..."

What...what are you talking about...? What did Erza realized? Lucy gently pushed Erza away so she could look in Erza's puffy red eyes. "What were you're feelings?"

Erza wiped her tears away and grabbed Lucy's hands for reassurance. Soft... They're so soft...

"Lucy...I love you." Erza whispered.

Love...? Motherly love? No... "Erza...I don't even know you." Lucy said, now knowing what she meant.

Erza smiled and brought Lucy in for another hug, holding her gingerly and tightly against her. "Then you can learn who I am...I can wait for you to return these feelings. Just...don't leave me again."

Lucy let herself to be hugged. It felt similar to her mother's hugs. It was warm and gentle. A knight in shining armor...that's what the letters said...is it really a metaphor? Or is it this redhead who wears armor all the time? The knight in shining armor that Lucy had fallen in love with before she lost her memories...

"Lucy. I promise you...I'll be better in protecting you...I won't let anyone hurt you again." Erza muttered, drowning herself in the warmth of Lucy's touch. She loved the embrace of the blonde, she felt happy, being close to Lucy, being in her warmth...If only...

Lucy felt awkward...knowing that Erza lo-likes her...and that she does not even know Erza. Just what does Erza wants from me?

Couple minutes later, the weight on Lucy became heavy.

"Erza?" Lucy called out, wanting the weight lifted off of her.

No response.

"Erza?" Lucy called out again, shaking the girl a bit.

No response.

Is she asleep? Lucy pondered before carefully moving and setting Erza on the couch. "Yep...asleep." Lucy confirmed, seeing Erza's eyes closed.

Lucy stood, towering over the sleeping redhead. She must've tired herself, crying herself to sleep. Lucy stared at the redhead, thinking if she really meant it, the words that she had said.

She's kinda cute... Lucy smiled to herself. "Where can I sleep?" Lucy mumbled, looking around.

Lucy sees a bed and walked to it. "Erza wouldn't mind if I slept in her bed...would she?" Lucy thought to herself.

Lucy sees two set of blanket and decides to take one for Erza. She walked back to the sleeping redhead and draped the blanket over Erza so she won't catch a cold. It was the least Lucy could do...after everything Erza had done for her, though she does not remember...

After Erza was nicely covered, Lucy walked back to the bed and sat on it.

She stared at the sleeping redhead, thinking of the words she had said. Is she expecting me to remember...or expecting me to fall in love with her? I really don't know. But Erza is a nice person. Gentle...maybe, if she wants to be. A maniac for strawberry cakes. That's all Lucy knows about Erza.

Lucy looked at her hands, seeing bandages wrapped around it. Erza said that there were knifes sticking out...The doctors said I had almost died...from a wound where a giant knife was sticking out of my back.

Lucy sighed. It was a bit...skeptical and scary for her. For it to happen and not remember it all.

Lucy carefully laid down and tried to rest her eyes. Couple minutes later, Lucy opted to stare at the ceiling above her. She couldn't sleep. Everything's all over the place.

First, she finds that her father had been dead for a long time. She had amnesia. She used to belong to a guild called Fairy Tail. Then there's Erza...saying that she likes her.

How should Lucy feel? Should she try to remember? Should she start all over again?

Lucy stared at the ceiling, letting thoughts of uncertainty cloud her, questions forming, making her more confused and lost. Soon, Lucy found her eyes drooping, soon slipping off to dreamland.

...

When Erza woke, she was hysterical. I don't remember falling asleep at all! Where's Lucy!? Erza bolted straight up, realizing that there was a blanket on her. Lucy? Did Lucy place it on me?

Erza stood up and looked around. It was still dark out. Erza turned to what time it was, seeing that it was not even midnight yet.

Erza looked around her apartment to find Lucy. Soon, a small smile soon crept on her when she sees Lucy in her bed, sleeping peacefully.

She walked to the bed and kneeled in front on the sleeping blonde, opting to study her features...chanting on how breathtaking beautiful Lucy was.

Erza was numerously stopping her enticement of touching Lucy's cheek, or kissing her. She wanted to do it badly. But she doesn't want to scare her away. So she fought her temptation and stared at the blonde, watching as her chest rose and deflated within each breath.

Couple minutes later...or 10 minutes later, Lucy stirred a bit, moving slightly before opening her eyes. It took her a few moments before realizing that Erza was staring at her with a smile.

"Hey." Erza smiled.

"...How long had you been standing there?" Lucy asked.

"Only a few moments." Erza lied, not wanting Lucy to know that she was staring at her in her sleep for a long while, like a stalker would do.

Lucy sighed as she slowly stood up, careful of her injuries.

"What do you want to do?" Erza inquires, sitting on the bed next to Lucy.

Lucy looked at her, thinking on what to do. "I don't know..."

"For starters, are you hungry? I know it's late. But you haven't eaten anything."

"Maybe." Lucy mumbled.

Erza stood back up. "Want to take a bath first?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah that would be nice." Lucy stood up and tried to go to the bathroom, but a hand grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks.

"I have to go in there with you." Erza said.

Lucy blinked couple of times. "Why?"

"I need to make sure the wound on your back isn't irritated by the water. We don't want it to reopen." Erza explain.

Lucy nodded. "I...guess?"

Erza followed Lucy into the bathroom and set the water, and waited for it to fill the tub. Halfway through, Erza quickly quipped out of her armor and clothes, becoming completely naked. She turned to Lucy who was only in a towel, covering her chest and womanhood.

"Ready?" Erza inquired.

Lucy nodded. Stepping into the bath with the towel, only getting rid of it once she was in the water. Erza did not say anything as she joined Lucy in the bath.

The girls faced each other. Lucy hugged her legs, and Erza sat there, watch Lucy with a concerned look.

"Everything's okay?" Erza asked.

Lucy looked up and sighed. "It's just...that having boobs is annoying than I thought. It's so heavy...and why is it so big?" Lucy said, still hugging her legs, thus covering her boobs and such.

Erza chuckled a bit. "So, I'm guessing it freaked you out? Waking up on day and all the sudden, you have a big chest?"

Lucy felt heat rushing to her face. "Y-Yes."

Erza smiled. "There's nothing wrong with it. You shouldn't be ashamed of it."

Lucy sighed. "Whatever."

"Want me to wash your back?" Erza asked, trying to change the topic, seeing that Lucy does not want to talk about it anymore.

Lucy hesitated before nodding. "If you want."

"Then turn around." Erza ordered, grabbing a nearby soap and crawling to Lucy with her back to her.

Erza first looked at the wound on her back. It had been a week since she found Lucy. The wound on her back is still fresh, but with stitches. Erza made sure to carefully rub the soap around it, not wanting to irritate it. She then washed it off with some water, avoiding the wound.

"Alright...Lucy, can you clean yourself with the wounds on your hands?" Erza asked, waiting for the response.

She got no response. Erza gently grabbed Lucy's shoulder and repeated her question. Lucy was still quiet.

Erza moved so she could see Lucy, only to find that she was fast asleep. Erza chuckled before picking Lucy up bridal style and set her down on the tile, wiping her dry.

Erza fought with every fiber in her being to not touch her.

After drying Lucy with a towel, Erza picked Lucy up again and walked out of the bathroom and gently laid her down on her bed.

Erza walked to a dresser and picked out some random clothes and walked back to Lucy. She grabbed an oversized shirt and gently weaved the shirt on Lucy. Then she grabbed an underwear and guided them through Lucy's legs. Lastly, Erza weaved a short through Lucy's legs, making Lucy completely clothed for the time being.

Erza stepped away with a loud sigh, trying to calm her racing heart. Erza glazed at Lucy with a smile before climbing over Lucy onto the other side of the bed and covered both of them with a blanket.

"Goodnight Lucy. I love you." Erza whispered grabbing one of Lucy's hand and held it as she fell asleep.
