Zeref sat by a base of a large boulder, his fingers combing through the grass as he silently stared into the distance.  Almost three hundred years had passed since him and Naomi had re-met again.

Though it was easy to see they had both changed.

Naomi had slowly become more reserved, yes, she was still loud and made jokes sometimes; but, when it came to stating opinions or asking genuine questions she'd not answer or change the subject.  Zeref guessed it was because of what he'd done, creating E.N.D., and technically reviving his brother.  She'd been there to witness it.

Countless times did she tell Zeref to not do it, to allow him to pass on peacefully- but he hadn't listened.  Nor did he regret it.  He was beyond overjoyed when he saw his little brother's eyes open from inside the capsule he'd been kept in for so long.

Naomi had peered from behind him, her eyes were so big when she had seen her little friend again that tears had almost immediately stared to fall from her eyes.  Cautiously she had made her way past Zeref to gently press her hands agaisnt the capsule and shakily smile down at him, "Hey, Natsu." Was all she'd said.

Him still being drowsy had just slowly looked up to look at his brother and friend, giving Naomi clear view of his earring.  She cried all over again knowing he hadn't just thrown it out.  Natsu had looked confused when he saw her crying, but he was just too tired, and closed his eyes to sleep again.

"Do you see now why I had to do this?" Zeref had asked, looking down at his friend who was rubbing her eyes- as if it would stop her from crying.

"It's still wrong," she'd answered, "You're erasing his memories about us by doing this- if you'd just let him go I could have taken care of him," Naomi had never wanted to have the power to hurt a living being so much, to hit Zeref for being to cruel as to do such thing.  "He would have remembered."

"He is the only one who can kill me," the male explained quietly, placing his hand on her shoulder, "When he does so, we will both die, we will both come to you."

"How could you do that to Natsu. . ?" Naomi asked, peeling herself away from him, "With how you made E.N.D. there's no way he'll even remember us until possibly his last moments."

"Trust me."

"You know I can't do that unless you tell me now."
