''Z-Zeref?''
The dark mage was only 6 feet from her.
Lucy felt her hand reach towards her keys. But it felt a wave of pain from the cutting.
Lucy clutched her chest and hissed at the burning pain.
Zeref's eyes flashed in concern and tried to walk towards her.
Lucy looked up at him, ''Do not come near me...'' She muttered.
Zeref felt his chest tense from those harsh words. He sighed. I'm always doing something wrong...
Lucy felt some tears fall from the immense pain. She needed to cover up these scars.
Zeref's heart skipped a beat when she saw her crying. Why would such a beautiful angel cry so painfully... Only someone like me should do that...
He gulped, ''If you don't mind, can I...'' He bit his lip. ''I can help you...'' He murmured the last part.
Lucy widened her eyes at the dark mage. How could someone so dreadful and horrible have an expression so innocent as that? I don't get it...
Lucy sighed and let him do the work. He ripped off a piece of his white robe with his mouth and wrapped it around her dried-but-bloody, scarred arm.
He hesitated a bit. ''Who did this to you?'' He murmured afraid not to make her run away from his words.
Lucy looked away and took a deep breath. ''Myself...''
Zeref widened his eyes. ''Why would you-''
''It's none of your business... And why would someone so horrible like you would care so much about someone like me?! I'm weak, powerless, useless, and I could go on... J-Just leave me alone!'' She screamed.
Zeref flinched at her poisoning words. His charcoal eyes stared at her chocolate ones.
''Who would make you think that?!'' He demanded in a hoarse tone.
''My team, my nakama, what I thought was my family...'' She felt her throat sink even more.
Zeref could not stand this. All he wanted to do right now was to pull her into a tight hug. But she would hate him even more for sure.
''D-Don't listen to them...'' He sighed.
''It's not that easy.'' She muttered.
Zeref stood up.
''I may be horrible, but if what you call friends are even more horrible... I may be physically horrible... But trust me... Become my angel for now on.'' He said in a soft, yet powerful tone. He reached his hand out to her.
Lucy stared up at him. She wanted to burst into tears. No one had comforted her like this before.
She slowly raised her hand that wasn't as injured and rested it on his hand.
Zeref hadn't felt such warmth in his life. Lucy was definitely going to be his angel.
