Fear Of Always Hiding
The next morning, in the early hours where the sun was still trying to wake itself up, one soul stirred and sat up in the solitude of his and his lovers cave. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked over at the fragile looking woman that laid, still asleep next to him, and smiled, knowing that she was faithful and loyal to his damned soul. A smile graced his face as he looked at the woman who, for some reason, chose him over everyone else.
-Acnologia's POV-
I looked at her fragile body, the way her steady breathing of her sleeping state, the way her body was curled ever so slightly to fit the way that I slept next to her. I looked underneath me to see that I was laying on part of her pants, and a little bit of his cloak that Melody was using as a pillow from the night before.
I knew that it was wrong, but I gingerly slipped my fingers into the pocket of her pants that was facing me, only to discover a small hexagon like shape with a small bubble in it, curious, I carefully pulled it out of her pocket, watching her intently to make sure she stayed asleep. My face paled when I noticed that it was the container for a single pill, and there was only one thing that was running through my mind, Plan B.
'But, why would she be carrying Plan B with her?' I thought as I looked at it somberly, before I regretted the memory of the night before. 'We rarely use condoms, that's why.' I scolded myself for not remembering something that simple. Then, a small groan from next to me snapped me out of my thoughts as I looked over at Melody as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"G'morning Acnologia." She said to me as she sat up and rubbed her eyes, then gave me a light smile as she looked at me. Just then, her face paled and her eyes went wide as she looked at what I was holding. I glanced down as well, then looked back at her with sad and somber eyes.
"Plan B?" I simply asked as she snatched it out of my grasp and held it close to her chest like it was a precious jewel of some sorts.
"It's not like we can have kids you know!" Melody explained quickly as she popped the little pill out of its casing and held it in her palm for a second. "Besides," she started, "it's not like I don't want to have a kid with you, it's just that we can't have kids because I'm supposed to hate you like everyone in Fairy Tail does." She finishes while still looking at the little pill in her palm.
I watched the woman that I loved shed a few tears as she popped the pill in her mouth as swallow the pill fast. It hurt me that it had to be this way and that we couldn't have a family, but I knew that she was right about this one. It was wrong of me to try and force her to keep the kid when a lot of people would wonder who the father was, including their own kid.
"Maybe someday then?" I questioned, wondering to myself just how long I could keep being the bad guy in everyone else's story when all I wanted was to be with her all the time. She looked at me with her deep, dark blue eyes that were wide with shock, and her short black hair matted around her face, and her peachy lips parted ever so slightly. "We could have a family together someday. You and I, isn't that what you'd like?" I asked her.
Her blue eyes started to sparkle with tears as she nodded her head. "Yes!" She breathed out as she threw her arms around me in a tight embrace, which I graciously returned to her. "That's honestly all I've ever wanted." She said as we hugged.
"I'm glad to hear that, because," I said, letting out a sigh over her shoulder to try and calm my nerves, "I seem to have this irrational fear of always having to hide our love and one day losing you because we kept hiding." I said, my voice failed me as it shook and cracked as I felt tears prick the corners of my eyes. Then, I felt a thump on my shoulder and I pulled away slightly to look at her face, in which her cheeks had puffed up slightly, showing her anger in a kiddish way.
"You'd never lose me silly, I love you too much to give you up for anything in the world." She said, then she covered her mouth as her cheeks turned 50 shades of Erza's hair. I could feel my own cheeks heating up a little as well.
"You, you love me?" I questioned, holding her naked shoulders in my hands for a moment as she nodded. I pulled her into a tight embrace, in which she had happily returned. "I love you too my sweet gravity master." I whispered into the crook of her neck. In the two years that we had been sneaking around together, neither of us had told each other that we loved the other. I thought that I would scare her off or that she just wasn't ready to say it yet, that's why I never told her first. But I am so relieved that she loves me back.
We stayed there for a while, naked and hugging, until she finally pulled back and started to get her clothes on, in which I followed her example and put mine on as well. Afterwards, we laid down and curled up together, and fell back asleep holding each other close, not wanting to forget the feeling of falling asleep next to one another.
The last thing on my mind was how I couldn't wait for the day where we could be together like this in a house together with little kids running around the house. Unfortunately, that would all have to wait a little longer because I was still seen as the bad guy. But one day, one day for sure, everything would work out perfectly for both of us.
