"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

"Don't bump into me!"

"What's wrong with you, crashing into someone?"

"Sorry," The boy muttered.

Zeref Dragneel was blind. Permanently blind. He could not see anything, even light. His life was complete darkness.

He tapped the long, wooden cane on the cement ground, making sure nothing was in his way. He was on his way home, and the poor boy still had another kilometer to walk. Everything went smoothly, all until he tripped over someone.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" A high pitched voice squeaked. Two small hands wrapped itselves on Zeref's, lifting him up and helping him keep his balance.

"It's okay." He murmured before he began to search the ground for his cane.

"Here." The voice said, handing over the long stick to Zeref.

"Thank you."

"I see, you're blind. My name is Mavis Vermilion. What's your's?" Mavis chirped.

Zeref hesitated then answered, "Zeref Dragneel."

"You seem to have trouble journeying home by yourself. Shall I escort you?"

"Doesn't it bother you?"

"Not really. I was heading in this direction too. So, where do you live?"

"Thirty-four Mildian Street, Magnolia."

"Magnolia? I live there too! Although my house is in Tenrou Street." Mavis held Zeref's free hand. "Let's go then!"

Mavis bravely led the way, from Margaret Town to Magnolia. Thankfully, Zeref didn't bump into anyone, nor did he trip.

The one thing he loved the most was her singing. Mavis sang an unknown song throughout the entire journey, and Zeref loved it so much, he began to hum along somewhere in the line.

"What's the song's name?" He interrupted.

"Snow Fairy. I'm in a little club named Fairy Tail, and the members created the song there. It got stuck in my head, I can't stop singing it!" Mavis answered enthusiastically.

"Fairy Tail? My brother is a member there. He was trying really hard to become a VIP member."

"What's your brother's name?"

"Natsu Dragneel."

"The pink haired one? He brawls all day with a boy called Gray Fullbuster." Zeref chuckled.

"His family is quite close to ours. He strips everytime he comes over."

"I know, I know. Natsu often calls him stripper."

"And Gray calls him Flamebrain." They both laughed. Zeref was surprised at himself. He never laughed truly, not after his mother's death.

"We're here." Mavis declared. Zeref couldn't see anything, but the familiar scent of Magnolia proved he was home.

"So, Mildian Street, was it?" He nodded. The girl guided him to the first Street on the left, where someone greeted the blind teenager.

"Oh! There he is! Found him dad!" A familiar voice called his name. "Oi! Zeref! Where were you? We were worried!"

"More work. Ajeel and Yajeel was absent, God Serena threw glitter everywhere, Brandish went mad after Dimaria ate her mango, Neinhart refused to cooperate, Eileen was away with her family, August was crying after Jacob decided to rip his music sheet, Bradman destroyed Acnologia's flute..."

"Okay! Okay, that's enough. And...First! What are you doing here?" Zeref looked confused for a second before he realized Natsu was referring to Mavis.

"I met him on the way. He tripped over my foot." Mavis said sheepishly.

"Okay...? Whatever. Dad's waiting. Let's go in Zeref!" Natsu grabbed Zeref's wrist and tugged.

"Mavis! Can you meet me tomorrow again in Fairy Tail? I want to listen to your songs again."

Zeref did not know, but the short, blond-haired girl was beaming at him.

"I'll play the music for you!" She yelled.
