Zervis one-shots (Book One)

Forever Yours

This story might be sad, but I will try my best to not make people cry. Alright, on with the story

~~~~~~~~~~~

I need to make sure I got everything for her. The roses, her favorite bear. Am I forgetting anything else?  I have what I need in one hand and my keys in the other. Taking one last look in the mirror,I head for the door. I pass by the little table we set up to hold the things we know we always forget about. I smile when I see the card that I bought for her sitting there.

"Of course, how could I forget this."

Picking it up and reading the cover, I see past it and notice the picture hanging on the wall. I remember this day. It was her birthday and I took her to rose garden show then dinner afterwards. She got really embarrassed when she tripped in front of everyone. A smile forms on my lips when I see her red face. It feels good to smile again.

Leaving the house, I lock the door and head for the car. The car is just simple black, but on the passenger side is some dents and scratch marks. I stop, just to look at it one more time then get in on the drivers side. Why couldn't I get rid of this car? Setting the objects in my hand in the passenger seat, I start the car and head to where she is. I hear thunder in the air along with lighting brighting up the grey sky. It's going to rain soon, just like last time.

Soon the rain starts to fall is small amounts. The rain was always her favorite. She would run outside and pull me along. She wouldn't wear her shoes at all and her toes would alway turn red. I'm still not sure how she ever lost any of her toes. The was the first time we kissed, it was pouring outside, she ran outside and looked to the sky. She held her hand out to me with a kind smile on her face.

"Come on, grab my hand silly."

Her hair was sticking to her face, she never looked so beautiful. I took her hand and made her look at me. I saw how doughy her eyes were, how her lips are a shade of pink with a tint of blue on them. Slowly I bend down and brush my lips on her. I'm so nervous. I get the nerve to kiss her for real this time. It was the greatest moment that we shared together. Happier times.

I finally make it to her place and take the long path to the entrance. I see the little both where the young man sits and read his paper. I pull up and he looks into the car. This man was here the first day she came here and he might even be here when it's my turn.

"Oh Zeref, it must be that time again, you're early this time."

"Yeah, I like to take extra time with her. Tell her how things are going you know?"

"I'm sure she loves when you come and see her."

I know she does. "Well I'll open the gate for you. Tell her I say hi." I smile and nod at him. I start up the small hill that leads to where she is. I park my car on the road and grab her gifts. I heard towards the path, that leads to her. Every time I walk this path, it feels longer than the last time, like my feet need to walk faster.

I see the familiar trees, with the few leaves on the branches still. The many headstones marking the names of passing dead one. The angels praying, the pictures of mothers and sons, and then in the center of it all is hers. I walk right over to it and stand in front of it. I touch the top of her grave and hold back tears. Hey there. I crouch down and look at the picture I picked out.

It was the day I proposed to her, The day I decided to make both our lives into one. That was suppose to be the best day for us, till we formed others, but that beautiful day became a nightmare for me. If that guy saw where he was going and didn't hit us, we wouldn't be here. For a long time I blamed myself, if I was more carful then I could have slammed on the brakes.

I'm getting myself worked up again, I look at her picture and see her bright smile, all the anger and regret disappears. Now I'm left sad and alone.

"Hey... Mavis.. I know I came early this time, but I just want to spend some extra time with you. You know what today is? Today is the day we were gonna get married...two years ago. I went out after the funeral and got my wedding ring. I'm wearing it right now see."

I show her the ring that I had to place by myself. I know she's seen it before, but I want her to know that I still love her and I'm still her's.

"The man at the booth says hi again. I know he's taking good care of you when I don't come around...You know I still can't believe that this happened. I keep thinking this is a dream and your really off writing stories in the park or out getting some fun things for us todo."

My throat is closing up and I'm starting to lose my hold on my tears. I can't cry, not again. My hand trembles when I touch her picture. It feels cold and fake. It doesn't feel the same.

"I'm so sorry...I'm sorry I didn't see that guy and I'm sorry that you ended up like this. I'd rather no one got this fate and we can go one with out plans. The wedding, the kids, the place where we settle down in...but now, it was taken so suddenly."

The rain starts to pour on us now, I'm getting soaked, but I don't care. It always rains when I'm here and I'm not sure why. I did have this idea that, its her crying, she always hated it when I was upset.

"Mavis there's no need to cry. You shouldn't be crying where you are. You need to be happy, You don't know how badly I want to hug you and tell you that everything will be fine, but I can't do that right now. All I ask is you wait for me, and when I get up there, I want to see that smile of yours."

I let go, all the tears roll down my face. I cry like I did that night when they took her off life support. I held her limp body in my arms and cried into her hair. I refused to let her go, It took Zera, Natsu and Lucy to get me away from the hospital. They took care of me for a few weeks till I felt like I was ready to live alone. For the longest time I didn't move anything she touched last. Her notebook had a thin layer of dust and the piece she was working on remains unfinished.

"I have to go now Mavis...I'll come back soon. I brought you some things to have that I hope you'll like and read over. Till then Mavis, I love you and I will always love you till my last breath. Then we can begin our forever like we promised."

I stand up and lend down to kiss the top of the headstone like alway. I smile weakly and sniff. See you soon. I start my walk back to the car leaving her with her new things. Every time I leave I feel like she's sitting, watching me leave. I swear the last time I was here, I heard ' I love you too' in her voice.

"Hey Zeref, when our kids grow up and we get old and gray, are you still going to thing I'm pretty?"

"What kind of a question is that, of course I will. You will always look so beautiful to me no matter what."

She leans up from the couch and past the seat next to her. I go over and sit down next to her as she cuddle up next to me. "Zeref, I can't wait to start our forever."

"Me too."
