Chapter 2 • Forever

Previously:

"Who are you?" I asked and he stepped back. I stepped forward and put a hand out. "I won't hurt you... My name is F/N L/N, daughter of Mavis Vermillion. Now tell me, what is your name?"

At first he looked scared but then he softened up and spoke, "Zeref."

Now:

"Z-Zeref..." I murmured. My eyes widened. "As in the Black Mage Zeref." I put my hand down and hung my head. "The man who created Deliora and the Death Flute...and several more deadly creations... You killed hundred - no...thousands of people!" Warm, salty tears dwelled up in my eyes.

"Yes... But I do regret it. I now wish for people to stop dying because of me." My ears perked up and I looked back up at Zeref while still crying. He began to cry as rage filled me.

I clenched my hands causing my knuckles to turn white, "Like hell you are..." A dark aura surrounded me and black sparks came from me. I could tell Zeref was scared at the moment because of his short and shallow pants. I stayed how I was for several minutes until I was drained of energy. As soon as my magic disappeared I collapsed while still being conscious. My breathing quickened as I began to panic. I was lying weak in front of the most dangerous mage. I noticed he cringed and held his head. "Z-Zeref..." I murmured.

"Pl-Please don't follow me!" He ran away screaming and I watched him. As soon as he was out of sight my head fell to the ground and my world faded to black. Allow me to explain why I ran out of magic so fast. As a child I always struggled with my magic because no one knew how to use if. Eventually I learned there is only one other person with the magic I have. Sadly the person whom I shared my magic with was deadly. His name was Zeref. My dreams of becoming a good wizard were crushed. How could I ever become a good wizard if I can't even use my own magic? To top that off, when I would adventure I came across a dragon. This dragon taught me his magic, but not how to use my magic power effienctly. After I learned about Zeref I gave up on using my magic. I only used it when I truly needed to (which was practically never).

But now I've come across him. He's the only way I can grow stronger. I knew I had to convince him to teach me my magic. The magic in which I never could learn. The magic that killed thousands of people. The magic of darkness, the magic of death. The magic I possessed was the biggest threat to the world. It was the not thing that could destroy all life on Earthland. I just hoped that Zeref could teach me my - no our magic. Our magic was the only thing that connected us. Or at least that's what we thought.

I woke up to a blazing sun pouring light onto my eyes. I rubbed my eyes and sat up then went to brush my hair. As soon as I was about to strip down to bathe I remembered Zeref was here. I stepped out of my tent fully clothed. "Z-Zeref..? If y-you're here please c-come out... We n-need to talk..." Why was I stuttering? It made no sense. I just felt different around him but I knew it wasn't fear nor sadness. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Zeref enter the clearing. "T-Teach me the magic w-we possess..." I turned to him with a slight smile.

He shook his head, "It's too dangerous F/N. I will not risk innocent lives." He said and turned around but I grabbed his sash.

"I-I don't care!" I teared up and then grabbed his hand and dragged him to the pond. "I need to become stronger. You're the only one who can help me Zeref..." I whispered as I turned to the water crouching down and playing with it.

He sighed and sat next to me. "You could die..." I nodded knowing this. "I haven't talked this much since...forever." That word stuck out.

"Forever..." I repeated as I took off my shoes and socks, rolling up my pants, and putting my feet in the water. "You're immortal?" He nodded which spiked my interest. "Tell me more about you, and I'll tell you more about me in return." I smiled at him my H/C hair being blown by the wind.

"Deal." And so he began.

After several hours of talking it was sunset. About noon we ate some food I brought with me and drank water. I began to open up to Zeref and visa versa. Somehow I even managed to make him laugh once in a while which cheered me up. We smiled and I hugged him blushing. He blushed as well and I quickly pulled away only to be splashed by him. I squeaked then splashed him which I found quite hilarious because he had this expression like: What the fuck? and I was like: Karma's a bitch~!

We laughed and he pushed me into the water. I screamed as I became submerged but soon popped back out. I grabbed the edge of Zeref's robe then realised I shouldn't get it wet. "Don't worry F/N." He said as he stood up undressing himself down to his boxers. I squeaked and immediately blushed and covered my eyes until he joined me in the water. To be honest he had a nice body. He wasn't too scrawny but not too buff. He laughed at my red cheeks and I turned my back to him. "Aw... Don't be like that." He said into my ear making me shiver and back away blushing deeply. I couldn't have been developing feelings for him, right? As I was thinking a pair of pale hands lifted my body into the air and threw me slightly.

"AH!" I screamed and hit the water again. I resurfaced and pouted. What I didn't realise was that Zeref was blushing madly and I couldn't tell why. "What? Why are you blushing?" He pointed for me to look down and I noticed I was in a more shallow part so my chest was out of the water and he could see my bra through my soaked white shirt. My eyes widened and I blushed. "Eh... No point and keeping on this shirt anymore. It was getting uncomfortable." Zeref's cheeks darkened more as I somehow 'sexily' took of my shirt and put it on the land. Was Zeref developing feelings for me too?

Our smiles grew as we continued to play around until it was dark out. I got out of the pond and went to the fire to warm up. A cloth draped around me as I was shivering. I looked up to see Zeref smiling down at me and his white sash over me. Somehow it was extremely warm. "Thank you..." He nodded and sat next to me to warm up himself. "What would you say if I came to stay on Tenroujima Island?"

For a moment he was silent, thinking critically. "I'd be happy because I can have a friend around me." I blushed and nodded. "Why?"

"Because," I started, "I'm going to be living here." Zeref and I knew everything about each other in that point in time. His smile grew and he hugged me this time making his sash fall behind me and my breasts to be directly against his bare chest. I blushed but hugged back hoping my bra didn't make it too uncomfortable. When we pulled away I laid my head down on his lap slowly falling asleep. Zeref's hand stroking my wet H/L H/C hair and a smile spread across my S/C face. It made me happy and calm. Little did I know, I'd be this age and look this way forever.
