"Mavis, I don't know why you think you, of all people, can hold your liquor down."

I hold her by the waist, her arm held in my hand. She's speaking in words that don't even sound like english let alone real words. The bottom of her heel scraps across the pavement, she reaches for my face but I pull back some. 

"Th-That was soo mean."

She gets out of my grasp, crossing her arms over her chest she sticks out her bottom lip. I was getting frustrated at this point. First she goes off after work with her girlfriends to drink knowing full well she can't handle herself alone drunk and now she's getting mad at me for helping her. She's mean, Hmp. I stick my hands in my pocket and look for any sign of a cab to get her home quicker.

"What are you...Oh no."

She goes to a near by bush, holding her hair back to let the night come out of her. Me being the gentlemen that I was, I held her hair and looked away. It wasn't till long after that she came up for air, wiping away what was left on her lips. She was shaking, dry heaving too. I saw some pink on her cheeks, I thought she was embarrassed but she looked right over to me, with a simple giggle escaping her lips, I froze up on the spot. 

"W-What's so funny?"

"I don't remember eating crackers, haha."

Even with some left over bits on her lips and hand, she's still the most beautiful goddess I've ever seen. I grab her clean hand and help her walk the rest of the way home. Upon nearing her place, I can tell she was getting tired, her heels were making more and more noise and she was getting a lot more quieter. 

"You need to get some rest, keep some water near your bed."

She looked up to her window, it was open slightly than back to me. She hugs me chest while mumbling. With stiff arms I hug her back, inhaling the smell of her shampoo. "What was that?" 

"Stay over."

"I-I ca-."

"Please, I want you to stay. What's it going to hurt?"

She runs her hand down my back, making shivers go down my spine. I've always dreamt of staying over at her place. I pictures it to soft and comfy and pink plastered in ever corner of the room. "Alright, I'll stay but only to help you feel better." When she looks up at me, her eyes are glossed over with sleep and even more, some of my shirt has some left over vomit that didn't get cleaned away. 

"Come on, let's get some rest."

5 years later 

"Shhh, mommy is sleeping. She had a long night with our new baby. Get your stuff ready for school."

It's been 6 years sense that night I stayed over at Mavis', that night felt like forever and I never wanted it to end. The next morning, her and I haven't been inseparable sense. I asked her two years ago today to be my wife and soon after we discovered we were going to be having our little family. It all hasn't bee rainbows and roses, we've had days were we didn't want to talk to each other. Those days sometimes turned into week but, when you're in love all you ever want todo is make the other person happy. 

We got thought it, had our beautiful daughter, then a son a year later. A few months ago we had one more son. He was our surprise, the best surprise any two people could ask for. I help the little ones get there jackets on, put there bags on and send them on there way to school. They wave from the window till I can no longer see them. Heading back inside, I make a simple breakfast for Mavis, scrabbled eggs, toast with jam and some coffee. 

Tray in hand, I open the door with my door, peering in to see her on her side facing the baby, who is still peacefully sleeping. I put the tray on the table, climb the bed some to kiss her on the forehead. Her eyes move slightly before fluttering open to look at me. A sleepy smile comes to her lips, the action makes my heart leap and makes me want to take her into my chest just so I can kiss her all over but, we have to be quiet.

"I made you some breakfast, coffee is also here too."

"That sounds perfect. It's just what I needed."

She sits up, spreading out the covers so I can place the tray over her lap. The way she eats her food, small bites and big smiles reminds me of the day I first made her eggs. She was kinda sick still from the night before but I'll never forget what she said to me when she took her first bit. 

"These eggs, they can cure about anything. Hangovers, sadness. I swear, these came from heaven."

From that day on, I would make these for her when ever she was sad, upset, or anything. If it meant that I get to see her smile and be happy once again. Leaning up against the door frame, I watch her eat, the smile gets bigger. The baby squirms in his bed, small cries form before a full on cry attack arrives. I go over to rock him back to sleep. I tell her I can handle it and she can just eat and rest a little long. 

I rock our son, talking to him about how much he needs to sleep if he ever wants to play with his siblings and how us boys need to take care of mommy and his sister. "You need to rest, we want to see who you look like more me or mommy. I think you look like mommy more because you're so beautiful, I can already see her nose on your face." For the rest of the day we all played outside in the water and eating pizza. It seemed just like that night when I stayed over. I never wanted it to end.

Many years later.

"Mavis, it's all going to be okay. I've lived a long life and it was the perfect like a man could ever ask for."

I've always hated the hospital, its cold, the food is gross and the blankets they give never cover you right. I've been in here for a few days and I can already feel something is wrong, I know what comes next but I just want to focus on Mavis. Her hair is still the lovely blonde, her eyes greened than ever. I don't think she aged at all. She climbs into bed with me, not caring if she gets in trouble with the nurses. 

"I'm staying here tonight again. The kids are going to stop by and bring me some extra clothes."

Stroking her hair, I feel a wet spot forming from her tears. We've been married for 65 years, and I have to say, I wouldn't trade any of those days. "I'll be good as new, you'll see. Im your strong boy remember." She tries to laugh but more sniffs come out. Neither of us want to admit what is going to be coming, we just want to enjoy what we have right here.

So much has happened that I'm going to miss. Not seeing my grandkids grow up, seeing my own kids every weekend for game night but what I'll miss most is not waking up seeing Mavis next to me sleeping, kissing me or even hugging me. No more birthdays, date nights, no more I love you from her. I was never much of a crier but that last thought hit me the hardest. 

"Zeref, do you wanna know something?"

"What is it?"

"That night when you helped me go home. Well my friends weren't the ones to call you. I told them to call you. I said, if I want anyone to help me get home drunk then I'm picking him cause he'll take care of me and look you have. Thank you so much."

Wrapping my arms around her, I bring her to my chest. I had a feeling back then it was her idea to call me but, to hear her actually conform it made my heart flutter. Kissing her forehead I drink in her features, I want this to be the last thing I see. To have it in my head for all of eternity. 

"Mavis, I have one last question. Can I find you again in my next life and make you my wife once again?"

"Zeref...I thought you would never ask."

With a one last kiss on the lips, I think back to the first night her and I kissed under the moon. It was just as beautiful as it is now. We put our forehead together, taking each moment we have left to tell each other for the final time how much we love each other and how I'll be watching her from heaven.

"I love you forever Mavis. I'll see you soon."

"I love you too Zeref, alway. I'll be come to you soon."
