Fairy Tail X Gender Neutral Reader - Tumblr Posts

Hi, I have a scenario request! So Erza has been noticing that the reader has started acting strange around her, stuff like leaving the room whenever she enters, staring at her and immediately turning away when she notices, jumping at the sound of her voice. After she’s had enough she corners them and demands to know what their problem is. With this, they actually confess that they’ve had a crush on her for awhile and have been avoiding her because they think they “don’t have a chance in the world to be with someone as amazing as her”. How does she react to all this? (Sorry if this is too specific, I’m just starving for Erza content)

Of course! This is a little short but if you'd like more or a part two lmk! :)

Erza x Reader - No Chance

Erza had simply had enough. She was starting to get really annoyed by you constantly avoiding her. What had she done wrong?... Had she done something to offend you?

You had been avoiding her for about a month now, and she had really started to worry that she had scared you off or something, because every time she had entered the same room as you by coincidence or had joined a conversation that had involved you, you would dart off in the opposite direction.

She had already spoken to Mira about how much it had bothered her, and how she can barely even catch wind of you, let alone apologise for what she might have done. It really had put a damper on her mood, and it had started to affect her during missions. She would be distracted and quiet, and less charismatic and confident. Even Lucy could see that soemething was wrong.

In reality, you were just crushing on the redheaded mage. And badly. She was so sure of herself all of the time and she always knew what to do when the pressure is high. You couldn't help but be attracted to someone so strong and brave and pure of heart, honestly you think that there would be something wrong with anyone who doesn't melt at the very sight of her.

You hadn't realised that she'd had her eye on you too. Her eyes would scan over your form whenever she had the chance to look and she so desperately wanted to talk to you, to see more of your personality, your strength, trying to guage just how you would fair in a battle of wits and resolve.

She'd finally had enough when she had caught you looking dead at her from across the guildhall, with a look of wonder in your eyes, only to snap your head away and take off from the table you were sitting at when Erza had looked back. She furrowed her eyebrows and slammed her hands on the table, the chair behind her scraping against wooden flooring loudly as she got up in persuit of you. You're not getting away this time.

For the first time, she catches up to you, staring you down and forcing you to tear your gaze away as she stops you outside of the guildhall, bombarding you with questions while she looks at you impatiently, her arms crossed as she waits for an answer.

"Why have you been avoiding me? I would like to apologise if I have done something to offend you, but I can't think of anything I've done to deserve the cold shoulder... We've barely spoken and yet you seem to be angry with me."

You were genuinely shocked. You thought that she would have absolutely no interest in talking to you outside of missions and things, so you had completely avoided her in an attempt to stave off a heartbreak and forget the feelings that you have. It wasn't working but you have the right to delude yourself if you wanted to.

So now that she's standing in front of you, asking why you've been avoiding her, you practically melt into the floor. Your cheeks have turned bright red as you have no other option but to look directly into her eyes, and you suddenly find yourself too weak to lie to her.

"I- I'm so sorry, Erza! The truth is that I think I might be in love with you! -I know this is sudden and it's unproffessional, but I can't stop myself from feeling the way I do- so I've been avoiding you because I could never live up to the standard of your ideal suiter. Someone like me could never- would never have the chance of being good enough for you-..."

At some point you had averted your gaze to the ground, too ashamed to face the one you had grown to fall in love with, so you're truly surprised when you're met with Erza's soft voice, regarding you with the kind of fondness that she saves for close friends. It has your heart thumping in your chest and your stomach turning as she speaks.

"... Idiot... You could've at least told me that you liked me. This would've been much easier then. I truly don't know why you think so low of yourself when I think the world of you... Maybe we should talk more over something to eat..."

Did you just hear that correctly? Is she asking you on a date?!

Maybe you aren't as hopeless as you thought you were...
