No matter how obvious a pairing may be, it's unlikely that they'll ever get confirmed before anything happens - especially by the author himself.

I love how easily rumours spread in the Fairy Tail fandom, I remember recent cases of both that fan-made picture and fake translations of the Volume 32 extras plan are both examples.
