"How long are you going to attempt to defeat me for?" Erza taunts blocking my attacks with her blades. "Until I beat you!" I grit my teeth continuing to slam my fists into her blades.

"I admire your persistence but I doubt you can do it" She leaps backwards at a speed I can't keep track of. "Your attacks are weak and your movements are slow." Erza observes.

"That's why I want to improve!" I growl still trying to land a hit on her. With a swift swing of her sword I'm knocked to the floor. A bruise forming on the back of my head. "You're too tired. You need rest." She says somewhat coldly.

I sigh realising that she is right. "Same time tomorrow?" I ask heading to the baths.

"If you want to improve then yes." She states.

"Of course I want to improve." I slump my shoulders. The back of my head already hurting and my eyes just as badly.

Yawning I step into the bath. Everyone seems to be on some big quest today, leaving me to submerge myself alone. Not that I mind, bathing with everyone else has always been an alien concept to me.

Hearing someone open the door I look towards it. "Erza what are you doing!?" I ask in shock seeing her in nothing but a towel. "I was going to bathe." She states walking over to the bath.

"But I'm already in here." I explain covering my eyes. Even though I did want to look.

"I just thought it would be easier." She says and I hear her climb into the bath. I sigh knowing it's hopeless arguing. 

"Do you really think I can improve?" I ask averting my gaze from Erza.

"I think if you keep practicing you can." She states relaxing on the opposite side of the bath. "Your persistence is your grandest trait Y/N. If you can keep using it like you have, you can achieve anything. Fight any enemy, complete any quest, have any woman..."

"I suppose I could. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with the training I'm receiving. As for my persistence, it's never helped me in the past. Especially not with women." I chuckle relaxing a bit more.

"Don't make yourself out to be so insignificant, there are many women out there who'd love to have you." She insists.

"I'd love to believe that. But honestly the evidence speaks otherwise. Remember that time I told you I liked someone and you told me to go for it she'll definitely say yes. You didn't realise it was Lucy did you? She said no of course." I smile weakly. 

"It was Lucy that you liked?" Erza asks with a confused look on her face.

"Yes, I don't know what I expected to happen. You probably thought it was someone more my level, right?" I close my eyes and sigh.

"I-I thought it was me..." Erza says suddenly, my eyes open widely seeing her right in front of me, only a few inches away. Her breath hot on my face.

"Erza-" She interrupts me by pushing herself onto me, her lips embrace mine and her tongue explores the inside of my mouth. Erza's breasts press against my chest and she sits on my lap, my erection pressing against her rear. 

"I'm sorry." She mumbles moving away from me. Reacting quickly I hold onto her shoulder.

"No. I'm sorry I didn't notice." I kiss her again and move my hand up her thigh. Reaching her wetness I slowly rub my hand against it, moans escaping from her mouth. While I do this her own hand starts to pump my member, using my mouth I gently suck on one of her breasts and massage the other with my free hand. "Y-Y/N, don't tease me." She begs, lifting her onto my lap she inserts my length inside her.

Erza starts to bounce on my member filling herself up with me. "Erza!" I groan kissing her neck and chest. "Harder!" She orders forcing me to speed up and increase the power behind my own thrusts. Moving my hands down to her hips I push them down to meet my every thrust. 

Erza tightens around me as she cums, soon after she cums again bringing me to my own climax. Pulling out of her I shoot my load into the bath. I chuckle as Erza collapses on top of me. "Seems your own persistence paid off." I pant my head resting on her shoulder. She smirks in reply wrapping her arms around me.

"I love you Y/N." Erza whispers in my ear.

"I love you too." 

Author's Notes - Recently my creative juices have been spread thinly leading to many unfinished chapters that are UNDER CONSTRUCTION so have this one shot to fill in the space between my next upload. Zenith Out...

(Sorry for the short chapter. But as I said, I'm spread thinly.)
