Hip Hip Hooray! A new story! This is one that was promised, so hopefully you like it. ZerefxMavis was always a bit interesting, but wouldn't really work out in the original Fairy Tail Universe, So I'm just trying something in another universe (FT High).
Mavis: Yipee! Another Universe!
Turbee: M-Mavis?! When did you get here?!
Natsu: We're all here
Turbee: What?!
Gray: Yeah, whenever you do this little thing, all of us get teleported.
Turbee: O-On to the show guys. -_-.
Zeref POV:
I'm non existent in this school. Sure, people notice me for a day after I win an award or get 100% on a mid-term, but nobody really makes social contact with me. My brother, Natsu, (A/N: Kind of a spoiler if you aren't current on the Fairy Tail Manga, sorry.) talks to me often enough, but he's always hanging out with his friends, Gray and Elfman, and his girlfriend, Lucy. I'm okay with not having any friends, it's just, having one would be nice. I was sitting down in the grass, reading one of my favorite books. The final period happened to be a free one, so what's a better way to spend my time then reading my favorite book? I heard the bell ring. I guess it's time to go home. A few seconds later, my brother and his friends came out of the school, talking and laughing about the day's contents. I smiled at Natsu's well being. Natsu didn't get incredible grades, which is why dad scolds him at times, but I think it's his personality that counts. Then, after them, another group of friends came out. There was Levy, Wendy, Mira, and Carla (A/N: Human form. Sorry, but I needed one more girl, and Lucy was already taken.). And in the middle of this group, was Mavis Vermillion. A girl with golden beautiful hair, and incredible green eyes. I would never try and talk to her. How could I? We're practically opposites, as she is one of the most popular girls in school. I hid behind the tree I was reading under, to make sure she couldn't see me. Truth be told? I didn't really want her to notice me. Sure, I have a crush on her, but I don't know one boy who hasn't. Why would I be any different from them? It's not like I have the looks or the personality. So, under my calculations, I would just embarrass myself and Mavis. There's no point to it. Once I was sure that she was gone, I came out from the tree. I sighed in relief.
Let's see, Mom and Dad wouldn't be home right now, and Natsu's probably at Lucy's house, so why don't I go to my special spot? I got up, and walked around the school. The forest should be at the back. I went deep into the wooded forest, looking for a very special spot. It was a small dirt area near a ditch and a small lake. It's not exactly special, but it's a nice place I can read at. I'm shaded by trees, and the only sounds are birds, the wind, and me laughing at times. I sat down right in front of the ditch and opened my book. Ah, a nice spring day, as usual. Minutes passed as I flipped through each page excitedly. I was completely absorbed. So absorbed, that I didn't notice the small footsteps walking near me. I smiled as I got to the climax.
"So, I'm not the only one that comes out here, huh?" A female voice states. I'm startled. I'm not used to people coming here, not even Natsu comes down here. Startled, I accidently lean towards the ditch, falling and hitting my head on a root.
"Ow…" I mutter. The girl bows for forgiveness
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to surprise you! I'm really sorry!" The girl begged for forgiveness. That voice, that's…Mavis! When I opened my eyes, sure enough, there was the golden haired girl I've been obsessed (A/N: I don't know if "obsessed" is the right word) with. I felt a tint of pink go on my face. I snapped back into reality.
"I-It's okay. Sorry I didn't notice you, I was just reading my book." I assured her.
"Hey, wait a minute! I know you! You're Zeref Dragneel!" Mavis exclaimed. I was completely shocked.
"Y-y-you know my n-name?" I stutter. How? She nods.
"I know everyone's names! Even in the middle school! There's Wendy, Romeo, Chelia…" She went on and on with names. "But I've never actually got the chance to meet you," She explained. "Here, let me give you a hand." She held out her hand to help me out of the ditch. I grabbed it and climbed out.
"T-Thanks. And I'm sure this really isn't a shocker but, you're Mavis Vermillion." I stated. She nodded.
"You know what?"
"What?"
"Let's be friends, Zeref! I think we'll get along just fine," She said. I was shocked by the matter. She wanted to be friends with me? No one ever wanted to be friends with me!
"S-sure! Let's be friends, Mavis!" I replied. Her smile was so warm. I tried to do the same, but it ended up as one of my trademark soft and distant smiles.
"So, Zeref's a funny name!"
"O-Oi! It's not like Mavis is usual too!"
"Calm down, it was just a joke." We both laughed on and on. Maybe… this really could work out.
Time Skip, Half an hour later. Dragneel Residence.
I got back from the forest a little while later. I ran up to my room and plopped myself onto my bed. I'm sure Natsu was doing the same thing in the other room.
"Mavis Vermillion," I let the name go through my mouth.
"What about Mavis Vermillion?" Natsu asked. Wait… Natsu?!
"Natsu, how did you get in here?!" I yelled. He pointed his thumb to the doorknob, which was conveniently burnt to smithereens.
"So, what about Mavis Vermillion? Do you like her? I bet you like her!" He went on and on about it. I guess that's just my little brother.
Chapter 1 is done! I hoped you liked it! Here, let me explain the changes I made to this alternate universe in comparison to the main one.
Change 1. Natsu was supposed to be 5 right before he died.
Change 2. I adapted this story to be in High school, so Zeref is in 11th grade along with Mavis, and Natsu is in 9th grade with the others.
Change 3: According to Fairy Tail Zero, Mavis was supposed to meet Zeref in the woods and he was supposed to teach her dark magic to defeat a dark guild.
