FIRSTLY CAN I JUST SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE READING!!!! IT MEANS A LOT. NOW BACK TO THE STORY!!!

The night was now warm and comforting as Zeref and I walked side by side. He had both his hands in his dark grey hoodie. My parents were going to be worried about me once again, but oh well. I'm safe, and happy. There was this weird sort of feeling bubbling inside of me, it's hard to describe. It's all tingly and makes you a bit sick to your stomach while also cheering you up, making your energy high.

"So, sorry to bring it up, but you said you were losing friends. You mean Lucy, Erza, Levy, and Juvia. Right?" He asks me, staring off into the distance. His black hair covering his eyes. I feel a blush rise in my cheeks starting at him. Why's that? I didn't quite feel that way before...

"Oh, yeah. But don't go on this whole rant thing where you say 'oh you should leave me, I'm not worth this trouble' sort of things. Because," I take a breath, "if they really were my true friends, they wouldn't make me choose between you." That's just how I think of things anyway. It may not be the point of views of everyone else, but it's mine.

"Fine, I won't rant. But can I at least say I'm sorry about that?" He turns in my direction, facing me head on. It's hard to stare at him. Not because he's ugly, the exact opposite really. I never really noticed how handsome he was.

"Oh." I realize I was starring and not speaking, "yeah, but don't feel down on yourself. It's ok. I still have you."

"Yeah, we got each other." He stares up into the star filled sky. It's, sparkling. I feel my eyes widen. I didn't even realize how clear and shining the sky was tonight!

Zeref Pov.

Mavis had stars dancing in her vivid green eyes. She was... Beautiful. Well, that wasn't anything new. My heart was braking inside me. I knew this would happen too. That's why I tried to avoid it, but with out knowing I ran head first into it.

I didn't want to loose Mavis. Ever. She was right when she told me that. She was my only friend right now, but, that can't last. I could lie forever, but I don't like doing that. Someday I will have to tell her, what I've done. She won't like it, she'll hate. And then, I'll be all alone. Again. I can feel a tear stream down my cheek.

Mavis, why? Why did you have to approach me constantly, and show me your smile? Show me kindness. This was getting really difficult for me.

"Let's just stay together from now on, ok?" Sure, she said that. But she doesn't know. Damn it! Mavis clings to my arm, her face was glittering in starlight.

"Are you ok?"

Mavis Pov.

"Are you ok?" I asked him. Zeref just turned to sadness. He had a tear trail down from his eye. What was hurting Zeref? Cause something with out a doubt is. But, I don't think it's me. Or at least I hope it's not.

"Yeah, fine. Don't even worry about it." He wipes the tear away with his finger, smiling at me. It's weak, but it always startles me when he smiles. I'm not use to it. His expression is usually just so blank and tired.

"A- are you sure?" I asked him.

"Yeah. I'm sure. Now come on, your house isn't that far." He says, starting to speed up the pace. "so, are you sure your parents don't mind you being out this late?"

"No they mind. I'm going to get in trouble again. But oh well. It was for important reason." I speak truthfully. My parents worried like crazy, and once I tell them everything... Well... I'll be grounded. Last time I just got off with a warning, but committing the same thing twice is a lot different.

"Mavis, I'm really sorry, honestly, if you can think of anyway I can make it up to you, please tell me. Because I'll probably do it." He tells me with his serious charming eyes. Wait charming? Ugh stop thinking all weirdly Mavis! God!

"Um. Actually, I ugh-" I stop what I was going to say realizing that it probably crossed the line a bit.

"What?"

"Nothing. Never mind. I'm happy enough right now." That was pretty true. I was happy right now. He was with me.

"No, tell me. I want to know." His voice is so fluent every time he speaks.

"Well, I really wanted to visit the park this Saturday. It sounds really beautiful, but my parents are to busy to take me there. So is it possible you could? Or at least know a drive. But you don't have to..." I was talking a bit to rapidly, nervous asking him this. I don't want him to feel he has to do anything for me.

"Ugh, well I only have an old motorcycle. I haven't used it in awhile. But it can fit two people. So if that could be of any use to you." He offers me a ride.

"Whoa! That sounds awesome! But are you sure you don't mind?" I ask again to get proper knowledge.

"Nope. Not one bit. So Saturday?"

"Yeah! Thanks Zeref!"

Zeref Pov.

Well that settles things. If everything goes alright at the park... I'll tell her. I'll tell her the whole thing. Oh god... This isn't going to be easy.

Mavis Pov.
As we reach the door step of my house, I look up at Zeref considering he is a fair bit taller than me. I look like a child...

"Thanks for walking me!" I said cheerfully. I was super happy, I mean, things were just sort of going well for me. I had to smile. Sure, I lost a few, but gained something more important.

"It was no problem. I had fun." He grins back at me. That alone make my heart beat rise. I can't place what it is that's wrong with me.

He then pulls me into a hug for the second time this day. My face buries into his chest to hide my red cheeks. He... Smells nice. Like mint leaves. Of course it's cold, but fresh as well. I like it. And being right here.

"Good bye." He says quietly, his chin resting on the middle of my head. That's us. It's how we hold each other.

"Bye." I say, as he let's go of me. Sadly. I wave good bye enthusiastically. High energy rushing through my veins. It takes not to long for him to exit from my sight. Out of grasp.

I enter my house letting the heated air greet me. Ahh so nice!

"So, who was that?" My mother asks me. Her expression held this inner smugness to it. Oh don't tell me she thinks...

"That was my friend Zeref." I explain.

"Oh, your friend. Huh?" She's smirking, snickering as well. I cross my arms, already knowing I'm blushing madly.

"I'm just saying, most friends don't hug like that." She says. Yep, she think we're dating. But we're not, unfortunately. Wait wait!!! Unfortunately??? You're going insane Mavis. He has some past trauma to deal with, he doesn't need a little girl gawking over him. He really doesn't. And you don't like anyone! Got it?

"Well, we do." I concluded, walking upstairs to my room. I probably just need some sleep... Yeah. That's it. And tomorrow I'll be at the park, and I can enjoy all the scenery with my friend. And afterwards when my father gets home from his business trip I'll get in trouble for this again. Fun.

I gazed off at the night's sky. What is wrong with me? I don't know.... Ok I sort of know. But it's the wrong time.
