So he made his way to the city. The day was drawing to a close, so he walked into a small candy store and bought a strawberry cake. Following this, Aidan went in search of Erza.

In the beginning, he wanted to ask the guild about it, but this was not required. Passing the park, he noticed a small river, and next to it a lonely silhouette. In the setting sun, her scarlet hair seemed even darker, lonely, and, beautiful ...

Slowly climbing up to Erza, Aidan sighed and still sat down next to him. The sound of the river was soothing, and he involuntarily relaxed:

- It's beautiful here.

Erza did not answer, remaining silent and completely oblivious to him. The guy remembered about the cake and pushed it to the girl:

- I didn't know which one you like, so ... Here.

Erza followed the gift out of the corner of her eye and then turned back to the river.

Aidan sighed and realized that perhaps he was in a hurry and should have waited. Therefore, after a moment he got up and was about to leave, but the sorceress finally sighed:

- I shouldn't have ... Well, - the girl turned away: - Sorry.

- Hmm? - the guy turned and asked in surprise: - Is it not I who should apologize?

- Well, - Erza lowered her head: - I think we are both to blame ... You shouldn't have put up a fight over such nonsense.

- Yes? Aidan chuckled, but didn't mention Natsu and Gray. Yet he did not come to swear. Therefore, he returned to Erza again and sat on the other side.

After a moment of silence, the girl asked:

- Where did you learn your magic?

Aidan leaned back on the grass and looked at the sorceress.

- It's hard to say ... I was just lucky.

"Hmm, if you don't want to talk, then you don't need to," the girl turned away, from which her pigtail lightly touched Aidan's face. He smiled again.- You almost won, do not be so angry.

- Almost does not count, - the girl muttered: - If I had mastered the rearmament completely, I would not have lost!

- Well, yes, of course ... - Aidan accidentally picked up her red pigtail and said: - I think you think about it a lot. We are from the same guild, no matter who is stronger. The power of magic is not easy to measure.

At the same time, nearby in the park. Gray stopped abruptly and hid in the bushes. Today he wanted to talk to Erza about the newcomer and cheer her up, but then it turned out that this newcomer was already here! It looks like he's not that bad, however, he still seemed too familiar, too suspicious! Curiosity got the better of him, and Gray began to eavesdrop. But as soon as he got into the bush, someone immediately threw him out:

- Oh you...! - Gray abruptly closed his mouth and sat down:

- Who are you?! He said in a half whisper.

A small old man got out of the bushes and hissed:

- Shhh! I'm watching, don't bother Gray!

- M-master! - the guy again covered his mouth and asked in a whisper: - What are you doing here?

- I'm watching, - Makarov grunted: - This kid is not so simple, his magic is too suspicious.

- Um, why don't you just talk to him?

- Oh you! I myself know which is better, but now shut up and sit still!

The two returned to the bush and continued to eavesdrop.

After Aidan's words, Erza turned again and pulled her hair out of his hand.

- Chat as much as you want, but losing to a newcomer is not at all the same as losing to old comrades!

- Eh ... - Aidan got up and sighed again: - You can assume that I'm your old friend, is that better?

- Not better.- Oh, - the guy rubbed his head and suddenly remembered something: - Exactly!

Erza turned in surprise, and the guy immediately grabbed her cheeks:

- I know how to make you happy!

- Y-d ... What are you doing ?! - pushing him away, Erza blushed and drew her sword: - Stop pawing me!

The guy laughed and waved his hand:

- Come on, I'm not pestering. I just figured out how we can solve our problem.

- Yes? - the girl frowned suspiciously and returned the sword to its sheath: - And what is it?

- Come to me!

- What ?!

- No, - Aidan waved his hand: - You need to read less vulgarity ... Just sit next to me, I promise you I will not do anything wrong and I will not pester you. Here I give my word, I will never bother until you yourself ask me! Agree?

- What more! Erza snorted and still sat down opposite the boy. A slight blush still did not leave her cute cheeks, but the guy did not touch them anymore, he just drew attention to the blindfold and squinted:

- I can get him back.

- What? - Erza suddenly became serious: - What are you talking about?

Even Makarov in the bushes gripped his cane and began to look closely at the situation. It was these oddities that he expected! The guy seemed to him not easy for a long time and he certainly would not say something like that. Even Gray frowned and watched.

The sun had already disappeared behind the horizon, and a bright moon lit up the earth.

Aidan gently touched Erza's hair and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.

- I'll give you back your second eye. My magic is enough. You just need to trust me. - in the moonlight, his determined gaze seemed too irresistible. Erza nodded involuntarily, not even realizing what she was agreeing to. She just trusted him ...

At the same moment, Aidan concentrated even harder. He knew that Polyushka would return the eye to Erza soon, but if he did, then there could be no question of enmity! Of course, they weren't in a fight after all anyway, but if he manages to reclaim such an important part of the scarlet-haired sorceress's life, perhaps he will face pleasant consequences! The magic itself pushed him to this, to do something worthy and significant. Perhaps, a desire to make someone happy and, at the same time, to feel someone's gratitude leaped in him. Partly selfish, but he so wanted to see the happy smile of this little cute beauty. Feel her light, her joy of life and the warmth of happiness. Unconsciously, he felt her loneliness and remembered himself ...

In the new guild, he wanted warmth, without any resentment and enmity, he wanted to find a home and stay in it. Therefore, he did not hide his magic of life and the snow-white light quickly transformed into gold. Aidan slowly removed the bandage and gently touched the girl's right eye socket, at the same moment the golden glow only intensified. Erza immediately closed her eyes, but Aidan only narrowed his eyes, he could not lose even a moment of concentration! A couple of weeks ago, he was confident in his abilities for recovery magic, and even more so now. But using it on a person still seemed to be a serious test for him. He was not going to retreat, he will reach the end and give her sight!

Even Makarov narrowed his eyes, watching this bright glow, he saw such a bright glow only from the legendary spells of the Fairies, but they also seemed to be different. Shock and surprise mixed, and Gray could not understand why the Master was so surprised and what this strange guy was doing at all!
