Second Chances
Mavis Vermillion, the first master of Fairy Tail isn't happy with her life anymore. Nothing can help her cope with the coming feeling of being abandoned. That is until a certain dragon slayer comes along. Natsu X Mavis one shot.
AN: Well then, I felt like trying something new, and here it is! Hope you enjoy this somewhat short one shot.
'I can't do this anymore.' (Insert Shia "yes you can!" meme) thought a blonde haired girl. This girl was Mavis Vermillion. She was the first master of Fairy Tail, and had been stuck in the realm of the living. The only ones she had contact with, were the ones from the guild that she had started.
She knew though.
All good things will come to an end eventually. This outcome is inevitable. You can't escape this. Mud humans have seen this with marvelous ancient civilizations such as the Greeks. Eventually, that too will happen to us as a whole.
Mavis was afraid. She was afraid that her guild would eventually fade into nothingness. Forgotten from the world. She wouldn't have anyone to talk to.
She was currently sulking at the guild hall of Fairy Tail.
"Master Mavis, you seem… Troubled. Can I help you in any way?" Natsu Dragneel, the one considered the heart of the guild, asked the technically old woman. "Do you want me to be completely honest with you Natsu? I assure you, if I tell you the truth, you won't be happy." The blonde haired girl said.
"Well, if it'll help you, I'm more than willing to sacrifice my happiness for my family. For specific reasons, that is." Natsu said as he took a seat near the first guild master. "Natsu… I'm… I'm scared." Was all she said. "Of what? You're an immortal being, so nothing can really hurt you." The dragon slayer said, confused. "That's the problem Natsu." She said sadly.
"You see, immortality is both a gift and a curse, but mainly a curse." She told the dragon slayer. "Immortality let's you see the wonders that the world has to offer. What after that? Nothing. Nothing happens after you've seen everything. The real sadness hits when everyone around you, loved ones, or innocent ones, die around you. You can't do anything to go along the path of life with your friends." The woman explained, trying to keep herself from crying, though was clearly failing.
They all die Natsu. That's why all I want to do right now is just die." Mavis said, now openly sobbing as Natsu brought her into a hug to comfort her. "Master, it… Everything will be fine. If you want, I can… I can try to research a spell that brings spirits back to life. That way, you can also move along with your friends." Natsu said, still hugging the smaller girl.
"Y-you'd take the time and effort to do something like that for me?" She asked, feeling a warm sensation that wasn't physical. "Well, families do help each other, right? I'd do anything for anyone from this guild!" Natsu said with a grin. "O-okay… I really am sorry if I'm messing with your schedules." She said. "Nah, don't worry about it! I got nothing planned, and I have enough jewels to buy food for the next 3 or more years without having to go on anymore jobs." He informed her.
Her eyes immediately shot open. "T-three years?" She asked in disbelief. Back in her time when she was an active mage, jewels were worth more than they were now. This was because they hadn't found a very efficient way to get the jewels. To hear that he had three years or more worth of food in jewels, surprised her. This was ridiculous.
"Well yeah. I got nothing else to spend it on, so I just save it. I've got maybe 6 million jewels or more." He said nonchalantly. "S-six million?" Mavis asked in disbelief as Natsu got up. "Well yeah. I told you I save it. Now, let's get going. We've got some research to do!" He said cheerfully as he waited for the now smiling girl to get up.
And research he did.
1 Year Later
It was a year since Natsu began his research for resurrection magic. The only spell he found, was a forbidden spell. It was forbidden because of what the caster had to in order to resurrect the person. Natsu was aware of the risks, and was completely willing to perform the spell if it meant that Mavis was happy.
"Mavis, I believe it's time to do the spell." Natsu said to the girl. "But Natsu! That spell is forbidden for a reason! You shouldn't know how to perform it! Not just that, but you wouldn't be able to find that person. The one special to you. This spell would-." Mavis said before being interrupted.
"I've made my decision. I just need your confirmation if you want to go through with this." Natsu said sternly. "W-well, I want to, but-" "No buts. Yes or no." She hesitated a bit, but finally caved in. "Y-yes." She said.
"Forbidden Magic: Soul Binding Technique: Spiritual Resurrection!" Natsu yelled as he felt a part of him being ripped out, and Mavis felt herself feeling… Normal again. She could actually smell the air. She could actually feel the warmth radiating from the dragon slayer.
She could actually feel her love for the dragon slayer.
"Oh my god, it feels like something was ripped out of me…" Natsu said with a groan as he got up. "Natsu! It worked! I'm actually breathing again! I can feel everything again! Oh, thank you so much! I can't ever repay you for what you've done for me!" She said happily. Unexpectedly though, she then ran at the dragon slayer and brought him into a hug and a kiss.
The kiss caused the two to feel very warm inside. Something that they had never felt before. Jolts of lightning struck throughout their bodies as they melted into the kiss. When they finally broke apart, they noticed something.
"Since when did you grow?" Natsu asked. "I think your age would be the cause of that. Since I'm a part of you now and we are technically lovers, I think your soul changed me to physically look like a 21 year old. The only real change that had happened to her, was that she had grown taller, and her breasts had grown bigger. They were at just the perfect size. Not too big, not too small. They sort of matched Erza's.
"Wait… Natsu, how are we going to be explaining this to Makarov or the guild?" Mavis asked nervously. "Oh, I told him what I was doing. He gave me a very thorough talk, and said that if I died, he would die later and come haunt me as a ghost. It seemed pretty weird. A ghost haunting a ghost? Like, how does that even work? Either way, he approved of me using the spell as long as you were okay with it. He was completely knowing of the sacrifices needed, and he made me promise that I would keep you happy." Natsu said as they got to bed, exhausted from the process.
"I really don't get why he did that though. I mean, why would I purposely try to make you sad or mad? That's something only idiots would do, and despite how much of an idiot I am, I'm a caring and loving one. I wouldn't even think about trying to make you sad." Natsu said with a smile.
Soon enough, the two drifted off to sleep. Both with smiles on their faces.
AN: Well that was short in my standards. I've always liked Mavis's character design. Her hair is absolutely amazing. How'd you like the fic? If I get enough people wanting a second chapter, I'll make one. See ya!
