Chapter 487 - Aftermath

(Jason's POV)

"Jason!" I heard a voice call out

I opened my eyes, "Uggh…." i groaned as the light that shone through the window hit me, "Huh??"

I was laying in bed, my entire body feeling sore as hell. Every muscle was throbbing like crazy, It was driving me crazy. Other than that, it wasn't too much.

"Jason, wake up." Mavis called out

I watched as Mavis walked through the door holding Erion. She was wearing a casual white dress, much different than her usual one. This was much more simpler and only reached to her knees. She had her long beautiful hair tied back to a ponytail which made her gorgeous face stand out even more.

I blinked, "Uh…" I said while staring at her,"Wow…"

She blinked as Erion sucked on his thumb, "What?"

I shook my head, "Nothing." I said, "You just happen to be pretty."

I saw as she blushed slightly, "Oh…you…" she said, "Uhm listen…"

I raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

"Makarov wishes to speak to you at the guild." She said, "There's a meeting with the Magic Council and the King. Some sort of celebration party or something like that."

"Huh." I said, "How about that…"

Its been a week since the War ended on a very terrible note. I mean, some God decided to step in and just call it. He took Irene and Zeref as "compensation" for me sealing Acnologia and relocated the entite armies of Alvarez back to the west according to reports. After all was confirmed, I had several drones and machines operated by Felicity begin rebuilding while many civilians helped after they got out the safety vaults. The country is still in recovery all things considered.

I have no idea why something like this would even happen, a God ending the war. All it did aside from giving us a breather was open up more questions.

I mean….why would he care about this War? What's the deal with him and Acnologia? What balance was he referring to? What did Zeref have to do with him? Why was me sealing Acnologia such a huge deal for him?

It makes no sense to me.

I mean, Zeref was going to reset the world and all. What did he mean that as long as Acnologia was untouched?

I have no clue.

All these questions give me a headache.

Mavis was staring at me, "You okay?" She asked

I nodded, "Fine…" i said as I got out of the bed, "Did he eat yet?"

I was referring to Erion who was staring at me the whole time.

Mavis smiled, "Yes." She said, "For a baby, he's got quite the appetite."

"Good." I said walking up to her while smiling, "That's good."

She raised an eyebrow, "What is it?" She asked

I shrugged, "Don't you think we should have Lucy or Erza babysit him for a night?" I asked, "Have some time for ourselves?"

She frowned, "It wouldn't be fair to Lucy." She said, "After all, she confessed to you. And don't think I forgot about Kagura."

I chuckled, "Well, Erion only lets Lucy or Erza hold him." I said, "And come on, we haven't had a night for ourselves."

She blushed a bit while closing her eyes, "Your body was recovering from the effects of this so-called contract, Jason." She said, "So I let you rest while I took care of your son. That said, are you implying that we are official?"

I frowned, "Aren't we?" I asked while crossing my arms, "I fought a war for you. As shitty as it ended."

She opened her eyes and looked at me, "As long as you're alive and well, I don't care how it ended." She said

I placed my hands on her shoulders, "What? You want me to say it?" I asked her, "The magic words?"

"Uhm…" she stammered, "It would be nice…"

I sighed, "Okay." I said, "Mavis Vermillion…"

"I love you."

************************

"What? Is Erion not with you?" The old man asked me

I was standing in front of him while he sat on top of the counter. I was at the guild hall; I came to see what the old man wanted, something about a meeting from what Mavis said.

"Nah." I said, "Mavis is going to ask Erza to babysit him for tonight."

"Tonight?" Makarov said, "Jason, you have a meeting with the King and The Council tonight."

"I don't care." I said scratching my cheek, "I'm spending it with her."

He cleared his throat, "Alright." He said, "I would like to let you know that reconstruction of the cities affected by the War are going well. According to your Warmind, it'll take another 2 weeks to complete."

I nodded, "Alright." I said

"So." I heard a voice say

I turned to see Laxus was leaning against the counter.

I raised an eyebrow, "What?"

He looked at me, "I may have overheard what you and Lucy spoke about yesterday." He said

I nodded, "So you did." I said, "I did sense a presence, didn't know it was you."

"Not to intrude on your relationship." He said, "But what was that about?"

He was referring to Lucy letting her feelings out yet again yesterday. She was in love with me and wanted to be mine. But some things bothered her.

"I don't know." I told Laxus, "She said something about her being the last and final one of my women. Who knows…."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Makarov asked

I shrugged, "You tell me." I said, "I guess people believe I am the type of guy to willingly take multiple women in relationships."

"Aren't you?" Laxus said

I snapped my fingers, "That's where you're wrong, my friend." I said, "I'm merely satisfying my lust. I don't intend to permanently make them mine. But unlike you believed, or still do, I don't do it to spread debauchery."

Laxus shook his head, "To be honest." He said, "I still haven't figured you out."

I chuckled, "Yea, there's things about myself even I haven't figured out." I said, "But Lucy said she was serious. But she didn't want to leave the guild for me since I don't wanna join it. So she'll hold off on a relationship with me."

"Do you not have the First, Jason?" Makarov asked

I shrugged, "I guess I do." I said

"And that Kagura chick." Laxus said

"Nothing 100% official." I replied

"And you're not going to choose between them?" Makarov continued

"Like my Magic…" I said crossing my arms, "Why choose one when I can have many?"

"I ain't complaining."
