Eight Members (A NaLu, GrUvia, JeRza, GaLe Fanfic) [COMPLETED]

Epilogue: Mavis Dragneel

{Zeref’s POV}

“I’ll get it ready, just wait a minute.” Jellal replied to the person he was speaking with on the phone, constantly checking his watch as he hurriedly climbed down the flight of stairs, his phone sandwiched between his shoulder and ears.

“Yes, that’s all for the dessert.” Natsu put up an index finger in the air, glancing up and nodding as if the person sees him on the phone.

“Black...” Gray muttered, fixing his hair in front of the mirror to look presentable.

Gajeel’s eyes were fixed on the window. “The car? Yes. We’re about to go... Zeref’s hair, don’t worry.” My hair? What are they even talking about? “Shrimp, calm down. You’re not the one getting married... okay.” Gajeel shuffled and pressed something on his phone, and I realized he put it on loud speaker.

“Ahem. Zeref! Hurry up!” She screeched. Since Gajeel’s speaker was loud I had to cover my ears. “Mavis here is getting—” The line went dead suddenly.

Gray stopped fixing his hair and eyed me. “Mavis is probably anxious right now. You know, it’s not like she’ll mind your physical appearance. The important thing is that you’re there as her groom and you didn’t ditch her. Now, speaking of ditch, you may now want to go to the wedding before she does.”

Everything he said had a good point. “Okay.” I inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm my nerves down. In anything I did to calm me down, nothing worked. It all seemed to fail. Marching to where the car was and after a drive for about a good ten minutes, we reached a not-so-large garden. Yeah, it wasn’t anything you’ve thought of. A church wedding, beach wedding... it’s a garden wedding. Mavis told me that we should have a wedding like that since she wanted it simple.

“I can’t believe it. My brother is getting married.” Natsu muttered under his breath.

I snickered at this. “You’ll have some wedding too, with her.” A blush crept on his cheeks, looking away. “Aw, li’l bro is blushing.” I teased, poking his ribs.

“Oh, would you shut up?”

I greeted my family and my closest friends as they each gave me pats, bro fists, smiles and a few words of congratulations. My hands started to sweat as I passed by Mavis’s parents. Her father motioned for me to come near him. We were going to have the talk.

“Hey. Take care of my daughter. Hurt her in any way and it’s your end of the world.” I grimaced when he squeezed my shoulder in a painful manner that I bit my lips just to prevent myself from yelping.

“The bride is coming!” Natsu shouted. Mavis’s father nodded at me and I proceeded to position myself in front of the mini altar. That’s when the mini door of the garden opened.

To say I was speechless is an understatement. Just... just look at the girl in front of me, wearing a white dress in a white veil looking all pretty with her bouquet of flowers, her dad who had tears welled up in his eyes accompanying her to where I was standing.

Wait. She’s about to come to me.

I quickly closed my mouth as she neared me, expression too vague for me to see.

Mavis looped her arms on mine silently and we faced the priest who nodded at us gracefully, signalling the start of the event. Breathe in, breathe out. Calm down, Zeref. This’ll be just for a little while.

The ceremony dragged on for what felt like forever, but I did wait patiently for the time that Mavis and I will actually be called a married couple or in short, Mavis Vermillion will be referred to as Mavis Dragneel. All this time I was preparing for the sweetest kiss I’ll give Mavis.
