The Same Sound [Grayza]

Heya there!

This is the fifth to the last chapter of The Same Sound. It's been fun writing an AU, but I really do miss being able to write fight scenes with magical stuff in them. But I'm happy that I managed to put in some details from Fairy Tail to pattern it like:

- 7-year timeskip
- Jellal being a villain to being a friend
- RoWen *aggressive wink*
- Simon dying (I love Simon tho, I still believe he would have become a better love interest for Erza than Jellal, but no better than Gray of course)
- Makarov in a wheelchair
- Laxus and Ja---

Well anyway, CVSF!

Byeonara~!

Five months have passed since I last saw Erza. We went back to Crocus after the wedding and the honeymoon, and it was back to reality for me and the hotels. I worked harder and harder just so I could forget her, but whenever I had the chance to check up on her, I'd drop everything.

First, I stayed in touch with Wendy, and apparently, Erza's classes had been earning more and more students, much to her delight, after the anonymous promotion... which I had done through one of the employees, whose kid was actually enrolled there.

"Miss Erza really enjoys having a lot of students around that she spends morning to afternoon every Saturday here," Wendy says into the phone. "We're getting short on staff, but Romeo comes around sometimes to help."

"That's amazing," I reply while reading the monthly report on earnings. "I'm glad that she's enjoying it. Kids should really put music as one of their primary passions in life."

"Definitely. I haven't told her you were the one who offered the promotions, though."

"Yeah, don't worry about it."

Then of course, there was Jellal whose life was filled with music, so he'd stay during gig nights at the cafe to search for new and upcoming talents. He and Gajeel also seem to be searching for Laxus's love life.

"Dude," Gajeel says as we SeeTime, "you gotta come around sometimes. Erza's killing it at these gigs."

Jellal pushes Gajeel and faces the screen, saying, "Come on, Gajeel. He hasn't even forgiven himself for what had happened for the seven years. That's kinda impossible to do in five months."

"Y'know, you guys are just the real examples on why I should die single," I tell them, sighing.

"Definitely not Laxus, though," Gajeel replies, grinning widely. "He's hung up on some brunette he met at Kardia, and he's waiting for her to arrive at the cafe."

"To the point that he had me promoting the cafe's gig nights just so she'd find herself in one of them," Jellal adds before drinking some beer.

I sigh again. "Just check up on Erza for me, okay?"

"Will do," Gajeel answers before raising his thumb.

"Absolutely," Jellal also says.

And of course, one thing that made me keep going back and forth from Magnolia to Crocus consistently was because of a very big announcement.

"WE'RE HAVING A BABY!" Natsu shouts as soon as I get into the car.

"GOOD FRICKIN' MAVIS, WHY ARE YOU--- did you just say you were having a baby?" I ask.

"Mhm," he answers, nodding with a bit of tears in his eyes. "I mean, I knew it some months ago, but I just wanted to tell you in person—yes, just today—because we're finally figuring out the gender!"

"Today?!" I ask, yelling even louder before Natsu's phone rings and he puts it on speakerphone.

"Hi, Hubby!" Lucy greets him. "And Gray. I know he'd put it on speakerphone."
