15 Chapter 15// Fallen Angel
"Aki still hasn't woken up yet? It's been a week already!"
"A-Aki's gonna wake up right...?"
"Of course! Aki's strong! Believe in him!!"
"...It's our fault Aki is in a coma...we couldn't protect him.."
Grief, anger, restlessness, all kinds of negative and repressed emotions filled the room. In the middle of it was a white-hair young man, unconscious of the outside world.
His whole body was covered in bandages and gauze and there was not a single place that was not covered with bruises and cuts.
Even though his face was also covered with ugly green and purple bruises, this does not take away his beauty, in fact, it made him look more like a fragile beauty...that can easily be broken with just one touch.
His whole form bathing in the gentle sunlight, defining each and every strand of eyelashes and making his red beauty mole even more obvious and intoxicated.
It was as if an angel has descended from heaven, but the demon broke his wings so he has no choice but to be with the demon.
Fallen angel
Yes, everyone wants to own this fallen angel.
Some want to own this fallen angel and treated them with love and care.
Some want to own this fallen angel and worshipped them, to be their only believer.
Some want to own this fallen angel and hide them from the world, only want their names to be breathed from the angel's soft, tender lips.
Some want to own this fallen angel and torn apart their wings so they can never fly again, cannot survive without them, cannot live without them.
This was the destiny of a fallen angel who is loved by many people.
Destined to be trampled under the believer's belief.
The guild members stopped blaming each other and themselves upon getting a glare from Erza, and only silence and melancholy remained in the air.
Erza punched the wall and cracks immediately appeared underneath her hands.
"Damned it! Damned it all!" Erza gritted her teeth, self-loathing filling her eyes.
"Erza! Control yourself, you could hurt A...", Gray's eyes widened and he shut his mouth upon seeing tears falling from Erza's eyes.
"Erza...", Gray uncomfortably shifted his sight away from Erza and he unconsciously looked toward Aki.
Aki's face looked very pale as if there is no more blood flowing inside him. Those hideous bruises on him make him look paler and corpse-like.
A thought suddenly popped inside Gray's mind, 'Aki is not going to wake up. Look, he looked so peaceful laying there.'
"Shit shit shit!" Gray then stormed off the room.
Lucy took everything all in and worriedly asked the unusually quiet Nastu, "...Is Gray okay?"
Natsu calmly looked at Lucy and answered back, "No, neither am I."...Or everyone else really
Because Aki is the heart of fairy tail.
Lucy looked down, her eyes filled with guilt, and remorse, "I..I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If only.."...I didn't come to fairy tail..
"Hey, look up", Lucy heard Natsu's firm voice above her head. She bit her lips and slowly looked up only to feel the sudden flick on her forehead.
She dumbly touched her forehead and looked up only to see everyone focusing on her, "u.umm.."
She then felt Natsu touch her head, "You're one of our own. It's our right to protect you or anyone from harm."
"Natsu is right, Lucy. We'll gladly do it again and again for our family."
"Master..."
"Yes, besides Aki would be angry when he woke up and found out you are blaming yourself like this" Natsu wistfully smiled.
"Yes, Yes", other guild members chimed in, "Remember Fairy Tail's Number one ironclad rule-"
"Never made Aki angry!"
"Never made Aki angry!"
"Never made Aki angry!"
Lucy looked dumbfounded for a moment and crudely wiped the tears that comes out without her wish and chuckled, "What's up with that"
Mother, I really love Fairy Tail.
I love my friends.
I love my family.
Please rest assured, I'm going to live my life to the fullest.

It's time you wake up Aki. You've slept long enough.
