Ok for all you people who say Zervis doesn't make sense just think of it like this. For Mavis it started off as a little crush when she saw him bathing in the river and then since she knew of his curse it began to grow into a sympathetic kind of love (you know like seeing a lost puppy). Then for Zeref just remember this guy has been wandering around for 400 years all alone wanting nothing more than to die (or kill everyone) so for the first time he finds someone who is kind to him and that would want to come near him even after knowing what his curse was and then later come to understand him completely. Of course he was going to fall in love (although if she hadn't died i think it would have become the overly possessive kind of love). And thats how there love makes sense to me, also I have a very over active imagination so yah thats how there love makes sense to me.
