A/N: I am loving all your positive reviews. Thank you so much. As well as the follows and the favorites! I'm so blessed.

To Cassiesensei: yes, I came up with the italic parts on my own, thank you for the compliment!

And now, let us continue...

According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.

Until we find our second half, we wander the world, lost and alone, until we are found.

Gray's POV

I sat in the deserted senior lounge. It was just me in there, Natsu and Lucy left, no doubt to have some "fun."

I sighed. This evening was especially tough. Erza was always a handful, but tonight was extrememly rocky.

Sure, I loved her, I really did, but it's hard to have a relationship with someone you've had your entire life. We knew eachother so well, there were no surprises in our relationship.

And what's a relationship without surprise?

I sighed and put my head in my hands. Lately, I felt like Erza and I were slowly growing apart. It was hard. Part of me wanted to hold on, but another part of me was still looking for something, something else.

Erza would kill me if she knew my feelings. But I couldn't help it. Part of me knew that it was best if Erza and I stayed friends. As much as I hate to admit it…

Suddenly, a tall girl with long blue hair entered the lounge, her dark blue eyes searching the room. They fell on me.

"Excuse me," she said in a clear, sweet voice. "Have you seen Lucy Heartfilia?"

I gawked. Who was this gorgeous beauty? Pale, porcelain skin, long, shapely legs, curvy body. Her short back dress only emphasized her curves. I hoped to god I wasn't drooling.

"Lucy's probably with Natsu," I said, trying my best to remain calm. Meanwhile, my heart was going a thousand times a minute. "You're probably going to have to find her in the morning."

"Oh, Juvia was hoping that Lucy would tell her more about the school," she said, gesturing to herself.

So she speaks in third person, I thought to myself. That's actually, kinda cute.

"You must be Jellal's sister," I said, noting the blue hair.

She smiled happily. "Yes, Juvia is Jellal's younger sister. Juvia is a junior. And you must be a senior."

I raised my hands. "You got it."

She giggled and sat down next to me on the couch, smoothing out her dress. "Well, since Lucy is not here, would you like to tell Juvia more about this school?"

I stared into her deep blue eyes, my heart pounding. I'm surprised she didn't hear it.

I found a smile spreading on my face, and heard my voice say, "Sure thing. Not a problem."

She smiled.

Wendy's POV

I was walking down the school halls with Chelia. We were coming back from the cafeteria, snagging some last minute popsicles before heading to our respective dorms.

"I love this school," Chelia sighed blissfully, sucking on her orange-creamsicle popsicle. I had gotten a lemon flavored one, and I sighed happily. "The ice cream is amazing," I agreed.

I looked up just in time to see a young boy, about my age, walking down the hall towards us. He had dark hair, coming closer I could see that it wasn't black, but a very dark purple. He also had very dark blue eyes. On top of his black jeans and navy blue shirt, he looked like the night sky. His eyes stared right at me. I blushed and looked away. Chelia looked at me, then giggled, noticing my reaction to the very cute boy walking towards us.

"Looks like someone has a crush," she whispered. I jumped. "No!" I murmured back, my heart pounding and my face red. "Chelia, it's not-"

"It could be love! Why don't you talk to him? After all, I think Romeo likes you" She pressed, her eyes dreamy.

I gaped, my face literally steaming. "C-C-Chelia!" I stammered. My eyes slid over to Romeo, who still had his eyes fixed on me.

Suddenly, without a warning, she gave me a shove, sending me flying into the arms of the boy. Chelia giggled. "Oh Wendy, I'm sorry about that. I just realized, I need to run. Romeo, will you show her to her dorm?"

"Chelia, wait-" I began, but she took off down the hall with a wink. I turned and looked up at the boy who was holding me to his chest firmly, interest in his dark blue eyes. "Your name is Wendy?" He asked.

I blushed and nodded.

He smiled, and ran a hand through my hair. If I could have blushed any more, I would have. "I like it. Well, Wendy, my name is Romeo. It's nice to meet you, under the circumstances."

I laughed, and a smile came to Romeo's face.

"Why thank you, Romeo. You are certainly a gentleman."

He smiled, and I pulled back from his chest. He grabbed onto my hand, making me blush. Again. Only for the millionth time.

"How about I do as Chelia said and get you to your dorm? It'll give me the chance to talk with you more." He said, a hopeful look in his eyes.

I smiled, a warm feeling building in my stomach. "Ok," I murmured, glancing down at our intertwined fingers. He turned.

"Alright then. Let's go."

Jellal's POV

It is said that when the two halves finally find each other, there will be an unspoken understanding of one another. Together in unity and utmost bliss, they would rejoice in their reunion, knowing no greater joy than that.

I walked towards Erza, my heart pounding, my palms sweaty, my mind reeling. I walked until I was a foot away, until I could see the confusion and yearning in her beautiful brown eyes.

"Erza," I breathed.

"Jellal," she whispered a few tears running down her cheeks. I frowned, concerned. "What's wrong, Erza?" I asked gently, hating to see her in pain.

"I'm confused," she murmured, in a small voice. "I have feelings for you even though I'm with Gray. I'm confused at why you won't let me know why you're hurting so much. I'm just so confused."

My heart pounded. "Erza…" I began.

She slid down to the floor. "It's hard for me to be with Gray. We've known each other for so long, there are no surprises in our relationship. I do love Gray, but I believe we're better off as friends."

She looked at me. "And then I met you. Right away I felt a connection with you, but you're hiding something from me."

She put her head in her hands, hiding her face from me.

I sank down to my feet across from her. Her shoulders shook, and I could tell he as crying.

I pulled out my guitar, from where I had it slung over my back. Hesitantly, I strummed a few chord.

It had an immediate effect on her. She raised her head, and stared at me, her eyes red.

I looked deep into her eyes, willing my emotion out to her. I feel it too, I thought.

Then I opened my mouth and began to sing.

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words

You got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

Something about you now

I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

I looked at her. Tears were streaming out of her eyes, but her eyes were full of happiness. I smiled tentatively at her

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

And me and all of the people with nothing to do and nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive.

I played the last chord. When I stopped, Erza sighed "Jellal.." she murmured.

"Erza, there is another reason why I can't socialize with others," I began. "it all started after my parents died. And I never told anyone this."

Erza grabbed my arm until I was sitting next to her. I leaned my back against the concrete wall.

"I had a hamster, probably when I was around 8 years old, just three years after my parents died. One day, after I got home from school, I found it, struck dead. And it was only a year old. And that's not all. My aunt died about three weeks later, followed by my grandfather. Two years after, my uncle died from a car crash, my cousin survived, but she was in a coma. She never woke up. She died a week later." Retelling these stories were hard, I could never bear to bring them up. "Everyone I loved started dying. I was so scared. I began to push Juvia and Wendy away because I was afraid that they would die too. Juvia came close to it once. She was walking on a road and someone almost hit her. They came up out of nowhere."

I looked at Erza desperately. "That's why I'm so afraid to being close to you. Erza, every one I love ends up dying. I don't want you to be one of them." My voice choked up, and I closed my eyes, dropping my head into my hands.

"Jellal," she murmured.

I shook my head, not looking up.

"Jellal," she said, a bit more forcefully, grabbing my chin and forcing my head up. I stared into her eyes.

"I know you think that you're cursed, but you're not. Fear has made you believe that you are. Don't let it hold you back. Don't let it prevent you from making friends, or finding love. Don't let it shut me out from your life."

I gasped and grabbed onto her arms, pulling her into my chest. She gasped, but relaxed, falling into my hug. I buried my face in her hair, breathing her in.

She pulled away, only to lean back and rest her head on my shoulder. "Don't let fear rule your life," she whispered.

I opened my eyes suddenly. I blinked. I was sitting in the girls hallway, a heavy weight resting on my shoulder. I looked down.

It was Erza, sleeping soundly, her hair falling in her face. I looked down at my watch. 2:30.

I sighed. We fell asleep, I thought to myself. I looked at Erza. Better get her in bed.

I hesitantly held her and sttod, picking her up into my arms. She murmured, but didn't wake up. Her form fit perfectly into my body, melding perfectly to my chest. Like she was made to be my perfect other half.

I opened the door to her dorm. Inside, it was furnished with a bed, a desk, and a bookshelf, full of dog-eared novels. I noticed a few: A Tale of Two Cities, Catcher in the Rye, The Odyssey.

I gently placed her down on her mattres, grabbing a blanked and throwing it over her. I turned to go.

Suddenly, her hand reached out and grabbed on to my sleeve. I blinked, then turned back to her.

"Sing to me," she murmured. Just until I go to sleep."

I nodded. I quickly went out to the hall and grabbed my guitar, then reentered her room, closing the door softly behind me. I made my way to her bed, my throat dry.

I sat down next to her side, and placed my guitar on my lap. I began to play softly for her. Her eyes fluttered closed, but I could tell she was still awake.

You touch these tired eyes of mine

And map my face out line by line

And somehow growing old feels fine

I listen close for I'm not smart

You wrap your thoughts in works of art

And they're hanging on the walls of my heart

I may not have the softest touch

I may not say the words as such

And though I may not look like much

I'm yours

And though my edges may be rough

I never feel I'm quite enough

It may not seem like very much

But I'm yours

I trailed off, noticing she was asleep. I set my guitar down. "Thank you, Erza Scarlet." I whispered, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. She murmured, but didn't wake.

I leaned back on her bed, watching her sleep. She was so peaceful. Her long lashes fluttered in her sleep, and her face looked like an angel.

Maybe it was the darkness, and the late hour, not to mention Erza's beautiful face, that I started to feel drowsey. My eyes closed, and I faded into unconsciousness.

It is a wonderful time when two halves join together again. A moment of pure joy and happiness, knowing that you have found you other half, and that you will never be alone again.

A/N: ok, so the first song was "You and Me," by Lifehouse. Number two was "I'm Yours," by The Script.

I hope you liked it, leave me your thoughts in a review!,
