Chapter 16: 11 Years Later

-Third Person P. O. V.-

It's been 11 years since Mavis has been master of the guild. A handful of wizards has joined the guild since then. Yury finally married a woman named Rita. They were going to bring their newborn son by soon. Warrod also accomplished his dream of becoming a wizard saint, though he had begun to grow... wooden. Not fully a tree man, but starting to. Mavis has grown up a bit, still keeping her small stature and flat chest. Zeref also grew older, though he kept his robes and slight muscles. He went to Fairy Tail every day and spent every day with Mavis. He wore his cloak and hood every time he visited and went by the alias "Ivan." (A/N: Not being lazy. Remember this. It will be important.) The two were so happy together, though they haven't made much progress on their relationship. Until this day... the day where everything changes...


-Zeref P. O. V.-

"Hey there, Ivan!" a guildmate called. I looked over at them and nodded as I past by them. I went upstairs into the master's room. Mavis' room.

She smiled at me, looking up from her debts. Yury was right. This guild was reckless. "Hello Zeref, my love!" She hopped down from her seat and came over. I took off my hood and she kissed my cheek. I kissed hers back as we sat down on a couch she bought for when she needed to speak to groups privately. She had a bit of furniture. Her desk with her chair. The chair across from it to speak to a guild member, one on one. Three couches, enough to fit a medium group of people.

I smiled at her. "Hello Mavis, my love and my light."

She giggled. "Zeref, it's been years since we started all this! You can leave off the 'light' part." She took my hand in hers, we blushed lightly. "You've already found a new life. A reason to live. A person to love..."

I hugged her. "Thank you, Mavis." I looked her in the eyes. "I have a surprise for you when you get home. I'm preparing it now. It will be ready when you get home tonight!" And with that, I kissed her goodbye, put my hood back up, and left before she could beg me to tell her. It was going to change  everything...

-Mavis P. O.V.-

As soon as Zeref closed the door and left, I blushed. A surprise? What could he mean? Something to do with the apartment? We've sleptin that same apartment in that same bed for 11 years now and he hasn't done anything. What could he be pla- Mavis' entire face turned a deep red. No! He couldn't possibly want to do... that... B-but, w-we aren't even... Oh dear, what do I do?!  Suddenly, a knock at my door snapped me out of my panics. "Y-yes? Who is it?"

Warrod's voice came through the door. "Sorry to disturb you, Master Mavis, but one of the wizards set the guild on fire."

I practically screamed. "WHAT!?"

He laughed, opening the door. "That was a joke." I sweatdropped. (A/N: Most Fairy Tail fans and/or fan fiction readers should know what this means and looks like.) He had started to develop a tendency to joke around. Right about the same time he started to grow branches. "Yury and Rita are here with their baby."

I nodded. "Okay. What about Precht?" I asked.

"He's out on a job. He'll be back later. You should come see the baby. The Dreyars really want to see you."

"I'll go down now." He left and went downstairs and I followed. I spotted Yury's family at a table and went over to them. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Dreyar!" I said happily.

Yury smirked at me as Rita held their baby up for me to see. "Proud of my newborn son, huh Master? Rita was so happy that we both got what we wanted."

Rita looked at me. "We both agreed that we wanted a son. We were overjoyed that our wish came true." She spoke with a gentle, calm tone.

I smiled at the couple. "What's his name?"

Yury nearly fell out of his chair as Rita giggled. "We haven't decided yet. We thought maybe you could help since if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have met or married."

I smiled wide and leaned over at the baby. His face looked innocent. He looked like he'd grown into a responsible man who would live a long life, though I had a feeling that Yury's parenting would result in a drinking habit or a perverted side. Then I realized something. He looked... familiar. Like this prince I read about in a book that Zeref got me. His name was Makarov. Makarov. "His name shall be Makarov!" I exclaimed aloud.

Yury nodded and smirked. "Makarov Dreyar, huh?"

Rita smiled. "It's beautiful."

I smiled. "I have a feeling that this boy will grow into a great man someday!"


-Several Hours Later-

I had left the guild for the apartment. It was really late. I couldn't stop thinking about the newborn Makarov. It really was a beautiful name. I went to open the door and froze. What if Zeref really wants to have... I gulped and walked inside. I walked upstairs and entered the room. Zeref was sitting on the bed.

Wearing his cloak over his entire body... Not a single piece of his clothes peeking out from under it...

He smiled when he saw me and stood up. "Finally. You came." He hugged me. I tried to see if I could feel his clothes under the cloak, but I couldn't tell. "Are you ready?"

I blushed deep. "R-ready for w-what?"

He took a step closer. "For this." I closed my eyes as he took over his cloak to reveal...

His clothes... But he was holding a small box. "Mavis Vermillion."

He got down on one knee. I started to realize what he's doing and tears started to form in my eyes.

Tears of joy.

"I've known you for 11 years. For 11 years, you've kept me alive. You've kept me happy. You've kept me on the path of light. But, there's something missing. There is a dark piece that I can feel in my heart. It won't turn light. It only glows when I'm near you. I want to be near you for the rest of my life. I want to wake up next to you every morning, and even though we do, I don't want to wake up every morning next to my girlfriend. I want to wake up next to my wife."

He opens the small box. A small ring. The perfect size,  I can already tell.

"Will you marry me?"

He slips the ring onto my finger. Just like I thought, the perfect size. I'm speechless. I'm crying tears of joy. I'm only able to say one thing.

"Yes. I will marry you, Zeref."

Then I fainted.
