"I'm breaking up with you," Erza said in a whisper, head facing downwards unable to meet the girl's piercing eyes. She felt guilty but it was the truth, she had to do it before she went to another country for a better education and long relationships are out of the questions, none will last through the end.
The silent was awkward and the air felt heavy, Erza thought that it was time to break the silent so she took a deep breath and exhale. "I'm really sorry, I-" She cut off my sentence with sadness lace within her.
"I know," She paused, finding words to communicate better. "I know from sometime that you were distancing yourself from me but I'm trying to hold on to whatever I can," Her voice broke and evidently trying not to cry.
"I'm selfish, I can't let you go," she sobbed, her tears are slowly flowing out. "I want to feel your warmth, your kisses, your terrible jokes but I can't do anything of it now can I?"
Erza wanted to protest, telling her that she love her but it was too late as Erza was going away next few days. So, the only things she can do was hug her tightly and she did. Tears were running down on Lucy's face uncontrollably, wetting her shirt but she didn't mind at all. Erza slowly rub her back as a sign of comfort.
After a few hours, Lucy's tears started to dry but she was still whimpering and holding the hem of Erza's shirt tightly.
"Will I be able to see you again?" Lucy spoke softly, now playing with Erza's hair.
"You will, I promise," Erza said as she slowly separate herself with Lucy and reach for the nearby drawer and took a long leather box. She handled it to Lucy.
Opening it, Lucy found herself looking at the most beautiful jewelry that she had never seen before, a necklace. She gasped quietly and looking at Erza's loving eyes. "Do you know how much this is? It seem really expensive and I can't take this!" Lucy close back the small box and handled back to Erza. Erza denied, she raised both hands and push it back to Lucy.
"Anything for you Lucy, this jewelry is a promise. When you're sad or lonely, hold this tightly. I'll be always there with you in your heart." Erza said pointing to Lucy's heart and continued. "I got your bracelet, so when I'm lonely I'll do the same,"
"But," Lucy hesitated.
"No buts, please Lucy," Erza gave her the puppy eyes hoping it would work and it did.
Lucy sigh. "Help me?" She tilted her head slightly and gave the necklace back to Erza.
"Anytime princess," Erza smiled and did exactly what she asked. She got to say the necklace look exceptionally beautiful on Lucy. The necklace was shining under the moonlight and gave out a light blue color.
"Please do not break up with me, please," Lucy begged. "At least don't say goodbye to me,"
"I won't," Erza said firmly. "But I'm setting you free from now. You can date other girls," She paused. "Or boys,"
We stayed quiet for a little while just enjoying the silence and the comfort from each other. But good times must end soon and it was time to go home.
"Kiss?" Lucy tugged Erza's shirt once they reached the front door. She tilted her head slightly and use her index finger to tap on her lips. Erza find her way of asking was cute, too cute. So she close the remaining distance between them and gave a soft, passionate kiss, trying to convey a message and apparently Lucy understood.
"I love you," Lucy mumbled leaning on Erza's neck, smelling her scent one last time so she could remember forever.
"And I love you too, my love," Erza replied playing with Lucy's hair. Lucy was trying not to think about what's going to happen next and just enjoy the moment.
"I promise to send you a letter every week?" Erza trying to cheer Lucy up and indeed it did. Although they were not going to do long relationships but that doesn't mean she will cut of their relationship or friendship. It took years to build and she will not let it crumble.
Erza took one last look of Lucy when exiting Lucy's house. She was smiling sadly and gave a small wave at Erza. Erza smiled and mouthed a 'I love you' and Lucy did the same.
It was not the end, Erza hoped. Maybe in the future, she will reunite with Lucy and maybe just maybe they would be together again, married. But this is all only her dreams, wishes. She does not know what the future had installed for her.
