Zervis one-shots (Book One)

Admiring from afar

Modern AU

-----

Gym class has to be the worst class ever invented in the history of school. What's so good about it anyway? You get all sweaty and you play games you don't even care about. Really gym is for guys to show off to other guys on how manly they are, while the girls stand in the corner and talk about how hot the guys look.

I'm standing with my own group of friends, they each have there own boy there looking at except for Zera and I. Zera doesn't like any of the boys in class, for me I can't help, but like one of the Dragneel brothers. Lucy comes over and bumps me on the shoulder with her own. I look up at her and see her wink at me.

"What Lucy?"

"I see you like looking at a Zeref."

She point over to him, messing around with his brother Natsu. It was shirts against skins in a basketball game and lucky for me and most girls, both of them were on the skins team. That whole time of the game I don't think I stopped looking at him. Even when he wasn't playing and was off to the side, I was still watching him.

"Mavis!"

"What!"

Lucy laughs at me as I just pout to myself. The coach tells us to all hit the showers and change. I follow everyone in and hurry over to my locker to change. I want to get out of here as fast as possible so I can get a spot next to Zeref in our next class. I wave bye to all of my friends an exit the locker room. As I opened the door I hit something followed by a "ow"

I look around the corner and see Zeref holding his nose. Oh my gosh, what have I done.

"I'm so sorry."

"No, you're fine, I wasn't watching where I was going."

He moves his had away from his nose and thankfully there's no blood. I sigh to myself, but then remember he's standing right in front of me. He looks down at me and gives me his best smile ever, me on the other hand attempted to smile, but fair terribly.

"You were really in a hurry to get out of the locker room."

"Well, I'm just really excised to get to my next class, and I'm not gonna let this door stop me."

Mavis, shut up. I laugh awkwardly and start walking away from him, but he grabs my elbow cause me to turn an at him. He's never touched me before, well willing. It's always been when we pass papers back and we accidentally touch fingers. I start freaking out on the inside, but try to keep my cool on the outside.

"Uh, yeah Zeref. Do you need something?"

He gets wide eyes and let's go of me. He puts his hand behind his neck and starts rubbing it. I must be imagining things, but I swear I see him blushing.

"I-I was wondering...do you wanna walk to class together?"

Okay Mavis, just say something, you're standing there like an idiot.

"Yes." I say in high pitched voice.

"Really? I mean yeah okay."

Both of us start walking towards the exit if them gym. He opens the door for me and I walk out and he follows right after. As we walk towards class, all the girls have to say hi or try to give him their number and they completely ignore me or if they do see me, they give me some death stares.

We reach class and lucky for me there's two empty spots just waiting to be claimed by two people. Zeref goes and sets his stuff down and takes the first seat, I'm about to put my own stuff down, but something get's by me causing me to fall and land on butt.
