I'll Always Remember.. (GrUvia)✓

Epilogue

(Music: Cue.)

Every story has a beginning and an ending to it. Ours (Gray and I) just happen to end so quickly...

A Few Years Later...

I step out of the train with my best friend, stretching. He flashes a smile at me before carrying our stuff. The little Exceed flew above us as we take a walk.

It's been six years since Gray had died. Well, seven if you count tomorrow. Every one of those six years, Rogue, Frosch, and I would go to the cliff near the Summoner's Rift top lane; that was where I spread his ashes. We would just stand there for a while before tossing a flower down the cliff.

Every year, the flower is different. Like the first year, it was the peony, and the following year was a lotus, and so on.. This year, I picked out the white stargazer lilies...

"Juvia." A familiar pigeon in golden armor waved at me.

"Hey Azir." I waved back. "How are you?"

"I'm fine. I managed to build my empire again, that is thanks to Sivir." He said as a few sandmen pass by.

"Oh? That's nice to hear." I said as they bowed the Emperor of Shurima. "I'll see you around."

Azir went back under the sand as Rogue, Frosch, and I kept walking. After a long walk, Rogue offered to hold the lilies for me. I nodded, handing him the flowers as we reached the bottom lane of the Rift.

We can see a game going on, rockets flying around as with invisible jack-in-the-boxes popping out of nowhere. I sigh, continuing my journey towards the top.

"Can you hold my hand?" I asked Rogue when we arrived at the top lane while looking down the cliff. He shifted the flowers to his other hand, gently taking my hand. We stared down for a while, me mumbling a silent message, him just standing there, and Frosch sitting on my head.

I pulled out a sticky note from my pocket, words written all over, and a lighter from my other. After taking a deep sigh, I flicked the lighter on, a small flame dancing in the wind. Carefully leaning over the cliff, I hovered the sticky note over the flame and let it go, making contact as the note burns to ashes.

"I miss you.." I whispered softly. "Forever and always... I love you.."

I turned to Rogue and he nods. We each take a petal from the white stargazer lilies. I handed him the lighter as he burns his first. He lets go of the flower, disintegrating down the cliff.

Rogue then hands the lighter to Frosch. He lights his petal, activating his wings on the way. He flew above the edge and dropped his petal.

Frosch flew back and handed me the lighter. I lit up my petal and watched it turn into ashes as I let go.

"I love you too... Forever and always.."

The voice of my deceased boyfriend echoed in my mind...

"Rogue. Can I have another petal?"

"Are you going to burn it?"

"No.. I just.." He nodded as he pinch the petal, giving it to me. "Thanks.."

Rogue took hold of my hand once again. Butterflies fluttered around us. We felt a light breeze that's just making its way across our shoulders. I let go of the last white petal, placing a hand on my heart while the wind picks up the petal, free flowing with the butterflies...

The End.
Thank you for reading!! ^-^
