~Y/N POV~

"What's your name?" I ask closing the book shut.

I had finally finished the book and it had taken me a couple of hours. The sun had begun to set making the sky change colors. Red, orange, yellow danced in the sky to say goodbye to another day. Looking down at the book I run my fingers on the back, the context was difficult to read but I had finally managed to understand most of it.

Turning my head I see his eyes are closed and his face looks peaceful. I smile at the sight before carefully moving away. He doesn't stir nor make any movements. The sunset casts a beautiful light across everything and I look around.

Most people don't realize the value of being about to see or hear. It's the little things in life that count the most. Closing my eyes I feel the heat of the last rays against my face and the cool breeze that whisks away the hair from my face.

I quickly open my eyes and crouch down next to the boy. I hadn't even learned his name but that didn't mean I didn't care.

I quickly shake his shoulder. "Hey, wake up sleepy head. The sun is going down." I say. Groaning he slowly opens his eyes and blinks before taking everything in.

"Look at the sunset." I say grinning and pointing to the horizon. "It's beautiful isn't it? It's the little things in life you have to enjoy. You may never get a second chance at life. So just enjoy everything. Ok?" I say softly before smiling slightly and looking over to him.

He's already looking over at me with a smile of his own and this makes me widen my own. I blush before closing my eyes and hearing everything.

"What's your name?" I ask leaning back with my eyes closed. I do this occasionally. Just feel everything instead of seeing.

"Zeref. My name is Zeref." I hear him say quietly. I stop and open my eyes. The name had sounded familiar but I didn't know from where.

"It sounds familiar but I can't remember from where." I say with a frown and my eyebrows furrowed. After a moment I shrug and smile. "Oh well. My name is Y/N."

I go back to the tree where he is sitting and take a seat to his right.

"What's your favorite color?" I ask curiously. His eyebrows furrow as he frowns at my question. "My favorite color?" He repeats. I nod.

He waits a few moments looking around before stopping and looking at me in the eyes. "Green." He says simply. I bob my head at his answer. "Why do you ask?" He says to me curiousness in his voice.

I simply shrug."I was just wondering. I think you tell a lot about people by their favorite color. I'm not sure how to explain it but it makes sense to me. I just have this sixth sense or something." I explain mumbling at the end. Most people thought I was weird for thinking the way I did and so I wasn't always popular.

"I think I understand." He says softly. I look up to see him smiling slightly at me. I blush furiously making my heart beat fast.

He looks away and stares ahead at the now diminishing sunset. The sky has turned dark with the stars shining down casting a beautiful soft glow. The moon is full and shines brightly giving everything a dreamy look. Fireflies start to flick in the night making everything beautiful and the only noise you can hear are the animals and the rivers flow.

"It's beautiful." I whisper. I pull my knees up toward my chest hug them. Laying my head on them I close my eyes enjoying the noise of the night. I hear a shuffle to my left before I open my eyes to see Zeref on his knees I front of me.

I blush at the closeness before scooting backwards till I was pressed tightly against the tree trunk. "Umm.." I mumbled before swallowing the lump in my throat. He crawls closer to me before stopping directly in front of my face.

He is expressionless but his eyes hold curiosity toward me. His head tilts to the left and slowly he lifts his hand to my cheek before his rubbing it with his thumb. My cheeks inflamed and my heart racing out of my chest so fast I felt he could hear it.

"What makes you so different?" He mumbled more to himself then to me. "You are pure. You are kind. You enjoy the most simplest of things in life. You value life and everything in such beautiful way. You take everything in as if it were your last with a smile. You speak with such tenderness it's as if nothing were cruel in this world. So tell me, how can someone be pure in world so dark? Filled with hatred, disgust, and such utter fear of anything different then them." He says to me. My heart melts at his words and I find myself struggling to respond to him. It's as if my brain has stopped working by his words and my mouth opens and closes with nothing to say.

Finally I sigh and look into his eyes which seem to hold emptiness and sorrow. "Yes the world is very dark. With greed, malicious, hatred. .....But that doesn't mean everything has to be that way. " I say taking my hands and holding his face. I gently caress his cheeks with my thumbs before smiling a little at the tint of pink. "This world can be very bright. It can be filled with joy and happiness. It's beautiful and has many people who are accepting and kind. You just have to look. I won't promise you that everyday you live will be bright but I can promise you that there will be other days that seemed worth living through. Just be happy with what today brings. There will be other days that are worse or better but everyday is worth living. Just look around for a reason." I finish saying while looking into his dark eyes. Tears appear at the corner of his eyes and I gently wipe away the ones that escape and fall down.

"You've been through a lot of pain.....You don't have to tell me.... I can see it in your eyes. It's ok... Everything's going to be ok. You don't have to go through it alone. No one does." I say gently.

Suddenly a smile breaks on his face and it makes me grin. The hand that was on my cheek moves to the back of my neck before it pushes me forward. I blush as he leans and places his forehead on mine. My forehead starts to tingle where his is placed and my heart begins to race erratically. My face is heated as his eyes hold mine in place and there's nothing I can do.

"I think I found my reason to live and love everyday." He whispers before closing the distance and pressing his lips on mine.

I tense at first before kissing him back. His lips are soft and fit perfectly against mine as we kiss and I completely forget about everything. It's as if my mind had shut down and I couldn't think of anything except for the kiss. I had never been kissed before but it's as if my body knew what to do. Zeref smiles into the kiss before pulling back. Giving me one last quick peck he leans his forehead on mine once again.

"Don't leave me." He tells me a little out of breath from the kiss. His lips are slightly swollen and shade darker. I bring a hand to lips feeling a buzz on them. Everything seems hazy as I stare at him but I force myself to respond.

"I won't leave you." I whisper before smiling. This makes him grin pull me into a hug. I am pressed against him and it feels as if nothing can hurt me as long as I'm in his arms. "Thank you." He says in my ear making my hug him tighter.

He deserved to be loved. And not just by me but by the world.
