Omake 4: Would You Love Me Again?
It was never a tough decision when it came to the fire dragon slayer, he was rash in his decisions, always making bold ones and would never hesitate to put any plans he had into action. He knew his imprudent actions may cause him to repent for his actions but he never gave it a lingering thought. Why would he? Igneel told him to live life to the fullest, and to him, it was all about living in the moment, not dwelling over incessant memories lurking at the horizon of the past, it just seemed unnatural to him, the blonde mage seemed unnatural to him.
She was always thinking. Always hesitating. She was one of wits and would always think through her actions before carrying out any form of plan, she wasn't rash, she was cautious, for fear she would do something she would be filled with grief and remorse for later on. She had never had actually jumped into a situation before, it was all part of her mentality, it would never change.
Until they met each other.
Total opposites, in a city called Hargeon. When their eyes met, it was as though fate had decided to entwine the two in a never-ending journey.
His ignorance to any dire consequences rubbed off onto her a little, allowing her to be more care-free in making her decisions. Her circumspection rubbed off onto him as well, causing him to be able to make wiser decisions.
They completed each other, they were two pieces of a puzzle, waiting to be fixed together.
Until, that day befell.
It was excruciating for her to watch. Him, fighting Zeref, when he clearly knew what everything would lead to in the very end. Even though she told herself it would be okay, even though she told herself that his decision was his, she could not bear the weight of watching this battle. She didn't care who won, either way, her soulmate was going to…come to an end.
Why was she even allowing this?
Yes, she wanted to respect his decision.
Yes, she had a magnificent depth of affinity with him.
Yes, she was suffering from a huge case of cognitive dissonance facing such a huge crisis.
Yes, she loved him.
But she couldn't move.
Her hands, shaking.
Lips, quivering.
How could she move?
She bit her lip as the red, vile liquid oozed out, dripping onto the cold dirt, seeping into the Earth with its crimson touch.
Then, it happened. He defeated Zeref, but the question in my head was "Was he the victor of his own life?".
She could only move when her body screamed for her to rush towards his limp body, seemingly starting to drain of existence. His body started to emanate a glow, as he drifted off into the sky, whispering into her ear,
"If we met once more, would you love me again?"
The tears coursed down her cheeks in huge abundance as her lips parted to say, "Of course…of course I would…forever and always…"
She shut her eyes shut as more saline liquid ran down, cascading like a beautiful stream, however, she never realized how beautiful she looked, with tears bringing out the sparkle in her eyes, with her hair being blown in waves, to further contrast her blonde locks to the cold atmosphere in that very valley. And her radiant skin glowing, from whatever of his remaining life source.
But what was the most mesmerizing thing of all?
Her hugging the white scarf ever-so-tightly, it seemed as if she would never let it go, even through the flow of never-ending time.
If you listened close enough, you would hear her melodious voice weeping convulsively, muttering, "I love you…I really do…"
