Those rumours come from "They are about the same are" and "They look cute together"... that's more than enough for some shippers.

Remember that Sting x Lucy was also quite popular at times... times at which the only "interaction" between them was when Sting laughed his ass off about Lucy almost being tortured to death by Minerva.... yeah, great basis for a romance. ^^

But shippers gonna ship.
