A/N Heeyyyy, so here is another FT fic. This one's actually going to be a couple chapters long I think, not sure. But I'm finally doing one of the stories on the "Stories I want to make" board, haha. So here it is. I'm excited for it. It's not going to be a big project, maybe only one or two chapters longer, but hey, I said Human was only going to be three and it doubled that so don't listen to me. XD anyway, please enjoy.
Zeref glanced up at Natsu's wide eyes and then back down at his own hands, soaked in thick, blood. "Natsu…" Zeref whispered softly. "What did I—" Zeref cut himself off and put his pale, blood-soaked hands to his face to muffle a strangled cry of heartache, surprise, and fear.
It grated on Natsu's ears, made him drop down beside his brother. "Hey, it's okay." He whispered. "You didn't mean to."
"But I did!" Zeref screamed, entire body wracked with trembled. Natsu's words were muffled by the own pounding of his heart and the blood roaring relentlessly in his ears.
"You didn't." Natsu repeated gently. "We have to go now. We have to go."
"If I didn't mean to, if it's all okay, then why do we have to go? Why do we have to run if it's okay?"
"They won't understand that." Natsu said and silenced his brother's whimpers with a finger to his lips.
"You have to stay, you didn't kill her, I did." Zeref said fearfully.
"Shh, none of that. If I don't come with you, who will keep you out of trouble,"
What a joke, Zeref had always been the one to keep his little brother out of trouble. "Now come on, let's go." He pulled his shaky brother to his feet and supported his weight. Glancing over his shoulder, Natsu glared at the lifeless woman, this was all her fault. Long, bloody blonde hair strewn around her in what once were lively, bouncing waves. Child-like hands pale and limp with her forest eyes glazed over, almost like a porcelain doll.
And it was her fault this was happening to them. Odd to blame a dead woman, odd to blame his brother's former lover, but Natsu needed someone to blame. And that someone sure as hell wasn't going to be his brother.
"Natsu," Zeref said, his voice strained, "I don't want to go. I don't… want to live."
"You have to." Natsu immediately snarled back. "You have to be strong, Zeref, you can't leave me here, I won't let you leave me here! I won't. Now, come on!" Natsu grabbed his brother's arm and started dragging him towards the bedroom. We'll get you a clean shirt, grab some cash, and run.
"We're never going to make it. We'll look guilty if we run."
"We are guilty!" Natsu shouted. "And we are going to make it, you'll see. Now put on this green shirt!"
"Natsu," Zeref said softly as Natsu tore his other shirt off. "Natsu!"
"What!" Natsu screamed, turning to him, tears threatening to spill down his cheeks.
Zeref's face was blank, all signs of hysteria almost nonexistent. Natsu would've thought his brother was already over it if it weren't for the occasional tremble that wracked his body.
"It's okay. Just sit," Zeref patted the space beside him.
"Zeref, we have to get out, quickly! We have to leave, have to run, have to—"
"Shh, sit." Zeref said again, pulling Natsu down onto the bed. "Just breathe."
Natsu's breath was quick, a contrast to Zeref's calm, steady breathing. "They'll come for us."
"Yes, the will." Zeref said. "But it's okay, I deserve it."
"It's both our faults."
"No, it's mine. I drove the blade home, it's my fault."
"You only did that because of me." Natsu said, tears finally slipping, his bottom lip trembling. "I was the reason you had to do it, had to kill her. It's all my fault!"
"No, it isn't. It's mine. I decided to do it in a split-second decision."
"But you did it for me. If you hadn't been trying to cover up what I had done, Mavis would still be here, you wouldn't have killed her."
"Listen, take deep breaths." Zeref whispered. "No one heard what happened, the police won't be coming for a while yet. All we have to do is blame someone else."
"How?" Natsu asked. "And isn't that wrong?"
"As if we aren't already damned to hell. It doesn't matter what we do now. And don't worry Natsu, I have a plan." Zeref said his eyes calming and gentle, "So just breathe."
