Thank you for the faves, follows, and reviews~! x3
Mavis' POV
Continuation
"Z-Zeref!" I call out.
...
...
...
Huh?
...
...
...
"Zeref?" I was already in front of him, but...
...
...
...
...I see.
...
...
...
He can't... see me...
...or hear me anymore.
...
...
I try to hold back my tears, as memories of the day I decided to kill myself rushed through my eyes...
...
...
...
"...Zeref."
...
"I can't take this anymore!"
...
"It hurts so much to remember what happened on that fateful day..."
"...I wish I died that day."
...
"I'm sorry, Zeref..."
"I can't wait for you anymore."
"Seven years..."
"..is already too painful for me to wake up everyday and keep remembering, replaying what happened that day."
...
"All the time... everyday... always... I was waiting for you..."
"...but I'm tired now."
"Too tired. Too desperate."
..
"I wanna see you soon..."
"...I made a potion that will instantly kill me..."
"...so that I won't feel anymore pain... no more suffering."
...
"I... hope we can meet again... someday."
"...maybe in the afterlife."
...
"Farewell."
...
"If death is the only way..."
"...then death it is."
...
...
...
That's right.
'Stupid me.' I told myself while tears started pouring out from my eyes.
How could I forget?!
I'm a spirit now...
...and he can't see... or hear... me.
...
...
...
Heh, and there I was... thinking that death would end my suffering...
...but it only made it worst.
...
...
...
Zeref wasn't the one who broke his promise...
...it turned out that I really was the one who did.
...
...
...
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." I whispered to him, even though I knew that he won't hear me...
...at least I tried... to apologize... for breaking our promise... and killing myself.
...
...
"I'm... sorry..." I hugged him from behind.
...I knew he won't see, he won't hear... but still, I've missed him a lot...
...even just this once after all those hundred years...
...just this once... I want to hug him... like how I've done before... when I was alive.
...
Just this one time... and at least whisper my words and apology to him...
"I was impatient... I wasn't able to endure... the long years of waiting for you when I was alive..."
"...and now look what happened?"
"It's all my fault!"
"I shouldn't have killed myself... I shouldn't have!"
"Maybe if I just endured the pains I've felt... If I've just endured all those memories of that fateful day replaying over and over again everyday..."
"...maybe now we should've been reunited again..."
"...maybe now we should've gotten a happy ending..."
"You know, the ending where on this part, we should've seen and heard each other - not just me seeing and hearing you, but you also seeing and hearing me... On this part where we should've been happy to be reunited once again."
"But I guess my fantasy is really nowhere real to our reality..."
"...the reality right now."
"The reality that we really are star-crossed, heh..."
"...where we can't really be allowed to be happy together."
...
...
...
"Just..." I sighed, knowing the painful truth that there really wouldn't be any chance that he could even hear me.
"...always remember..."
"...that..."
"...I love you..."
"...and I always will..."
"...for all our eternity."
I wanted to stay on that position for all eternity, but I know that it's not possible... I pulled away from hugging him, and started walking, aiming to go somewhere, someplace to wander around and perhaps calm my head and think more clearly... I can't bear seeing him like this... not with that current face of his... I've been busy crying as I was whispering to him and hugging him, and hadn't noticed that he was crying, too... until when I pulled away. His eyes were filled with sadness and tears, and I can't bear looking at him like that.
Then, just after I've taken a few small, slow steps, I heard him say my name.
"Mavis..." he muttered.
I looked back to see what he was doing... He was still facing my grave, which put down my hope that he'll ever see me... But then he continued...
"It's okay..."
"...it wasn't your fault."
"If I came back sooner, that wouldn't have happened."
"Well, it can't be helped... what's done is done."
"Just always remember something for me, okay?"
"I love you, I always will, for all our eternity."
I wasn't sure whether he really had heard me or not, but that doesn't matter... He was still talking to me - well, maybe my grave, but it's still me. And we've made our promise...
"We'll love each other, always, and for all eternity."
T^T Sorry it took me long before I completed this story... I've been busy lately...
Yeah, it ish weird that my GaLe fanfic "Wish" was finished earlier even before this one (which is much shorter) was finished... o_O
Well, anyway, I hope you enjoyed the story x3
What do you think about it~? Feel free to review :3
P.S.: I'm planning to update one last chapter for this story (even though I've already marked it as complete) for Zeref's POV on this last part... what do you think~?
