Zervis: PURITY (Book 2)

Chapter 4: More Than That

Normal POV

1 week later...

Ever since the incident at school, Mavis has been the talk of the system. Girls would gossip about Zeref and when he would return. The sluts are readying themselves to get Zeref's attention and the guys were ready to glare at him since they felt as though their egos have been bruised just by his existence. Mavis wonders why Zeref hasn't been there to take her to school nor fetch her after school. Her and Zera would do the usual routine of either walking or riding the school bus to and from school. Zera feels glad that Zeref wasn't around but Mavis all of a sudden feels lonely without him. She mentally slapped herself for thinking that way. Why should she want him with her when Zeref is just a disgusting pervert. Yet even he was like that, Mavis seems to enjoy his presence.

Right now, She had stopped right in front of Zera's house to drop her off. They were walking since the school bus was full and they hated to wait for the next one. "I'll see you tomorrow Mavis." Says Zera.
"Yeah..I'll see you.." Mavis whispered. Zera could tell that something was bothering Mavis and she knew exactly what it is.
"You should be happy Mavis. He hasn't been around for a while. Isn't that great?" Zera hopes that Mavis hasn't fallen for that maniac. She is just worried for her best friend.
"I know Zera...I know..."
"Then why won't you smile?" She waited for Mavis to answer.
"...I don't know as well..." Mavis does know but she would never tell it. Zera only sighed.

Mavis arrived home feeling tired. What was she tired about? Something just didn't feel right at the moment or this past week. She was happy hat Zeref wasn't around to distract her but she felt sad that he wasn't around...with her. No she did not mean she missed his sexual touches...what she missed was HIM. Mavis missed his presence. It felt so wrong yet right. Mavis sighed, she just can't understand why she is feeling this way.
Opening the door to her house, Mavis smelled something burning. Automatically, she went to the kitchen where the smoke was coming from and was met with Lucy wrestling with a dirty pot. The place was a mess. Natsu was on the side cleaning her sister's mess.
"What's going on here?" Mavis asked.
"Oh hey Mavis. It's okay, the soup is done. You can bring it to Zeref today." Natsu said. Mavis had no idea why.
"Wait, what do you mean I can bring it to him?"
"Some girlfriend you are sis." Lucy mumbled. She finished cleaning the dirty pot. "Zeref has been sick...the whole week and you never once visited him. What kind of a girlfriend leaves her boyfriend sick and alone like that huh?" She ranted.
"Are you done with your lecture?" Mavis replied to which Lucy pouted. "Also, I didn't know he was sick."
"Neither did I. I thought he was just sleepy because of work. But then he started looking like a zombie with those baggy eyes and that creepy drunk walk. I realized just last night that he was sick and never told me. For a grown adult, he sure is acting childish." Natsu stated.
"Look whose talking." Mavis replied. Lucy cleared her throat.
"Anyways, Natsu and I are going over at Levy's house for a group project. That means you are going to give him the soup." Lucy put the clean pot of soup on the table and pushed it near Mavis.
"Why do I have to go?"
"I'm not the girlfriend here. Besides, don't you miss Zeref?" That question silenced Mavis. To be honest, she did miss Zeref but would never admit it. And she is kind of worried for him. Mavis thought about it for a moment and sighed.
"Fine. I'll take the soup to him...but only...the soup. I'm not staying over." She crossed her arms.
"Why not? C'mon sis, give your boyfriend some cuddle time. It always works." While saying that, Lucy had wrapped her arms around Natsu's neck from the back. Natsu in return, leaned to her touch. Somewhere in Mavis' mind, she wants a love like Lucy and Natsu have. That will have to wait. The perfect guy isn't just gonna come knocking at her doorstep. While she's waiting, she has to deal with a pervert of a boyfriend here.
