♏3rd Person's P.o.V:♏

"She just needs rest to replenish her magus particles.."Caster says as she finishes checking Lucy who was fast asleep..Gil nods,"Thanks.."

Caster flinches as she quickly runs out,'T-The King of All Heroes..T-The Prideful Gilgamesh..JUST SAID THANKS?!!'

"Sigh..You're such a pain in the ass.."Gil stated looking at Lucy..His eyes widen slightly as he caught a glimpse of Enkidu caressing her forehead..

'What was that?Another surge?'Gil thought as he silently stares at the now empty bedside..

"Enkidu..Don't leave me.."

This time, Gil's eyes really widen as he hears the name of his precious and only friend in Uruk..He immediately goes to her bedside and tries to wake her up but it seemed like she was having a nightmare attack..

"E-Enkidu..I-I don't want to be alone!"Lucy cried as she shifts in her bed, sweating bullets..Her eyebrows were knitted together and pain was written all over her face..

Gil's eyes darkened before taking Lucy's hand and clutching it with his,"Calm down..It's just a nightmare.."He whispered as he gently caresses her forehead with his free hand..

Lucy was now slowly calming down..This made Gil sigh in relief..Her butterfly lashes fluttered open as she sat up and looks at Gil..

She blushes slightly,"I-I'm sorry!I-It was just a nightmare!I-I didn't mean to..I--"

"It's fine..Everything's fine.."

Her face turns red as she was enveloped in a hug..

"You can cry now..I know how hard it is to keep it all inside..So just let it all out.."Gil says in the most gentle voice that would surprise those who knew him..Who wouldn't?The prideful and insensitive king who always talked coldly was now melting as he is with a woman..

Lucy let her tears out slowly as she grips his jacket sobbing..

"I've always been alone in this world..As everyone ages..I still remain the same..As they die, I get left alone watching as their bodies are put in caskets and buried in the graveyard..I am all alone in a dark sea with only a small cherry blossom lighting my way that is slowly withering in my hand.."
