"Gray-Sama…"
The blue mage whispered out into the dark, her body hidden away under the many layers of blankets.
She sniffed a little, rolling over as she stared at a blank space she knew was the man she spoke to; even though she could not see; she could always feel the boy's presence if he were around.
"Eh? What is it?" Gray grumbled, the sounds of lack of movement proving that he did not turn his head to listen to Juvia.
"Juvia can't sleep." She said matter of factly, her hands clutching the blanket up to her chin, it was a cold night and she was glad about having the bed with so many layers; she just wish she had a person to cuddle.
That person being her dearest Gray.
"If you close your eyes, it might work."
"Juvia had fun today, Gray-Sama looked spectacular."
He laughed slightly, that awkward laugh he often did when she complimented him these days.
In fact she was glad that he was here with her; they had bonded so well these past couple of months. Living together, eating together, training together. That's what made the two of them particularly tired that night, the water mage had practised all day; trying her hardest.
At first, she had been interested in impressing Gray with her training, but the more times they trained, the more they merged, and she began to want to improve for herself as well.
After all, what was better than knowing how to protect those who she loved?
Her mind wandered then. Wandered to something that she knew Gray was always thinking of. They had become her family too, and it wasn't right without Fairy Tail to return to; as much as she really did love spending time alone with Gray.
But she knew it's what was bothering him.
It bothered her just as much.
"Juvia is too worried." She admitted, speaking once again.
"Worried?"
She usually liked the sound of his voice, but this time, the words came out a little surprised and she felt concern.
The water mage heard the covers ruffle at that; and she tilted her head; becoming uncomfortable with her ponytails that she had decided to wear that night.
"Juvia has been wondering…" She replied, her voice gentle in the night; "If Fairy Tail will ever come back together."
Gray went very quiet at that, even his breath had come to a stand still.
He cleared his throat, the covers ruffling as he rolled back over.
"Juvia would be lost…. if… Gray-Sama left her too…" She whispered, holding the blanket close to her face, almost muffling her words.
The dark haired boy didn't reply though, the room quiet as they both lay in their beds.
Perhaps he had fallen asleep, it was late after all.
Juvia hoped.
"Gray-Sama…"
The blue mage whispered out into the dark, her body hidden away under the many layers of blankets.
Suddenly her heart sank, as she listened to the quiet patter of the rain that had become like a sorrow lullaby, the realisation that Gray still hadn't returned.
It was true.
She felt more lost than ever.
