Julian's POV

It was hard being two people. One, the true me, and the other, the personality under the cloak. I knew that she would never love the real me, only the one under the cloak. She could never know that it was me. It would ruin this, this friendship, between the cloak figure and the ice queen. It was the closest I hd ever been to her. I liked our relationship the way it was. I would arrive early, sit next to her mostly. Sometimes we talked. I would dodge a few hood flips, and I would leave before the guild members arrived. I would take off my cloak in the men's dorms. I would enter after 2-4 hours of sleep. She never suspected me. At least I hope she didn't. If she did, she didn't show it. Not that I ever got close enough to tell. I always looked at her from a distance, but still in plain sight. I was in the guild, though most people didn't notice me. I was pretty good friends with everybody, (especially Luke, even though sometimes I thought he had and eye on Graya), but I was very unnoticeable. I had almost no worries that Graya would find out about me. Erzo was the only person who knew my secret, and he promised not to tell. But when he grinned at me while talking to Graya, I wasn't so sure.

Graya's POV

I was getting closer to this 'Hooded Man'. We met up about three times before I decided to do some detective work. No one I knew could relate to any part of my past, and all girls were eliminated. The shadow figure was obviously a man. And the only man I knew with blue hair was Macao, and it wasn't turquoise. I would sometimes feel like someone was watching me, but when I turned around, the only thing I saw was either white fur trim or blue hair. I was getting frustrated.

"GRAYA, GRAYA, GRAYA ARE YOU LISTENING!?" Erzo yelled. I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Umm, eh, you see..." I murmured. Nobody liked an angry Erzo.

"What seems to be the problem?" He asked, suddenly very calm and eating a piece of strawberry cake (where it came from no one knew!) and looking at me very closely.

"Well, there's this guy, and well, he is always in a cloak, and uh, he won't tell me who he is..." I stuttered. I might as well tell Erzo the truth, because if I didn't, he might find out and try to kill me.

"Hmmm..." He set down his strawberry cake.

"I know who it is." He said. He picked up his strawberry cake and started eating again.

"WHAT? Who is it tell me NOW!" How could he know who it is from a tiny bit of information?

"Yes it's true. I know exactly who it is and..." Erzo looked over my shoulder and winked. I swiveled around in my chair. A coat lay on the floor. I swiveled back in my chair.

"A coat.?" I asked. "What the hell."

"Oh no, there was a person sitting on that coat. He just became chicken and ran away." I turned back around in my chair and the coat was gone. The man I meet isn't much of a chicken...I thought.

"Please tell me who it was!" I said, whining. I needed to know so that I could talk to them without having to look into a cloak hood and actually look into their eyes.

"No. You're closer than you think to finding the answer, you just never actually look around." And with that, Erzo walked away, leaving me much more confused then I was when I woke up this morning.

~Yawn~ I've been working so hard on these chapters! So more coming either later today or tomorrow around 5:00...
