Not Your Average Lovers
@ft-wwtdp Day 7 Prompt: “Isn’t love all we need? Is it love?” (prompt and other lyrics are from the song Honey by Kehlani)
I like my girls just like I like my honey; sweet A little selfish I like my women like I like my money; green A little jealous
There seemed to be this stereotype that every woman-who-love-woman out there was soft and in turn looked for that softness in their partner.
They were the opposite of that.
It was bond to be like this given who they were.
One was Titania, Queen of the Fairy Tail Guild and One-Woman-Army
One went by M'Lady, the Mistress of the Sabertooth Guild and daughter of a tyrant
And one was the She-Devil, the other reigning Queen of Fairy Tail and one of the deadliest women alive
The amount of trauma shared between the 3 of them explained why some nights were spent sleepless staring up at the ceiling joking about scars and near-death experiences to chase away the pain of the past.
A good night for them meant all 3 of them being under the same roof sleeping in the same bed with minimal fighting over positions and covers absent from any nightmares.
Erza could count the number of times that happened on one hand.
But when they did happen, when the 3 of them shuffled into Erza's large bed lazily touching before Minerva's snark and Mirajane's teasing threaten to drag the night out longer so Erza tells them both to shut the hell up and lays on top of them until they settle down and sleep, those nights were worth having to listen to each others snoring through lacrimas worth it.
And yes, their relationship was unconventional, even to Fairy Tail and Sabertooth standards.
When Lucy talked about her girlfriends she speaks of them as if they hung the moon and stars in the sky
When Mirajane talks about her girlfriends she mentions that she'd sell them both for 5 jewels
When Yukino worries about not being enough for her potential partner Minerva scoffs and says,
'If those two can land someone like me then miracles can happen. If you need advice on getting with someone you think is out of your league, those two are experts'
When someone asks Erza how her girlfriends are the redhead shows them a new scar from their past sparring and tells them joyfully how she can't wait for the two to get back from their jobs so she can kick their asses again
So no, their relationship was not your typical soft sapphic romance.
But was it love? Hell yeah
And it was all they ever needed
