Hello! This is my second story so I am still a bit nervous. Tell me what you think about it. For if you haven't read my first story, I should tell you I have dyslexia and English is not my first language. Please don't mind any grammar mistakes or wrongly used words. I´m planning 3 till 5 chapters for this story. Please enjoy reading!
Chapter 1: My confused heart.
.
.
"Are you sure you are ok Juvia?" Levy asked. She and Juvia were walking through the hall in Fairy Hills. Juvia nodded. "Juvia is just a bit confused now. She will take a shower before heading to bed." Levy looked at her a bit worried. Both off them just came from a party in Fairy Tail. Team Natsu just returned from a long mission an Juvia was happy to see Gray-sama again. Everyone was drinking an cheering. Juvia was looking a bit down while opening her door. Her room was still dark and she could barely see. "Goodnight Levy-san, Thank you." Levy smiles at her and waved her goodbye. "Goodnight"
"Aren't you going to greet him, Juvia?" Cana asked her while hugging a barrel of alcoholic liquid. It was already starting to get dark outside. Juvia waited all day for Gray to return from his mission. He has been away for almost 3 weeks and Juvia couldn't stand the wait. She had been on four missions while he was gone and she couldn't get used to it. The guild just wasn't the same without him!
"Yes" Juvia said while looking at Gray. He looked different. Well, he had the same looks but he was looking down. He looked sad. Gray was walking towards the bar and sat down next to Cana and Juvia. "Welkom back Gray-sama!" Juvia said sweetly. "Are you ok? You seem a bit down."
Gray looked up. "Hi Juvia, I am just a bit tired." Juvia knew he wasn't lying. He had deep gray bags underneath his eyes. "Did you had trouble sleeping?" Juvia asked.
Gray was shaking his head. "I am just grabbing a drink and then I am going to bed."
Juvia blushed. "Then, would you like to have a drink with Juvia?"
Her eyes were wide and she almost couldn't get her smile while waiting for her answer. She was so nervous. Her mind was spinning. Please say something Gray-sama! Her heart was beating fast. She was afraid for another rejection.
Gray's face turned into a smile. "That would be nice." Juvia was glowing and her smile was so wide she couldn't believe it fitted on her face.
Juvia switched on the light and closed the door behind her. She looked through her bedroom. Her Gray-doll resting on her bed. She walked in to her room slowly thinking about the what happened today. Her head was still spinning.
She walked towards her closet and took out a nightgown. A little light blue one with lace on the bottom. She took it with her towards her bathroom. Gently Juvia lead down the nightgown on the counter while she started to undress herself. Throwing her clothes into the laundry basket. Looking at herself into the mirror. She was completely naked and ready to take a shower. Juvia felt a bit sad. Putting her hands on each side off her hips. Turning a bit around. 'Is Juvia pretty?'
Gray and Juvia were sitting alone on a table. They were just sitting next to each other for a while now without saying anything. Juvia thought it was nice. She understand Gray was down and had no need for talking. And she was fine with it. Gray accepted her request to have a drink together and she couldn't be happier.
"The mission went really well." Gray said while staring at his drink. His look were dark and depressed. Juvia stared at his eyes and it made her feel a little sad too. But she couldn't help but wondering. If the mission went great, what was bothering him.
"You know, Lyon is in town." Gray said still staring at his drink. "He said he wanted to see you."
Juvia turned her head a bit in surprise. "Lyon-sama is in town?" Hearing that Gray's body shakes a bit.
"Gray-sama? Are you alright?" Juvia said softly while gently putting her hand on his shoulder.
Gray turned his head away from her.
Her heart was hurting and tears filled her eyes. What happened to him?
The ice mage signed and turned her way. He couldn't look her in the eyes. "Lyon said he will take you away from me. I don't know what gotten into his mind. Since we clearly don't have anything together."
Juvia's heart was slowly breaking. But she tried to stay strong.
"He can do with you what he wants for my part. I mean as long as you're ok with it."
Juvia almost couldn't hold back the tears. He was clearly not feeling the same about her as she felt for him.
"But he has to make this all so complicated." Gray said while angrily putting his drink on the table.
Juvia looked up at him. "Juvia doesn't understand."
A few tears were falling from her cheeks as the turned on the shower. Hot water was pouring down. And steam was filling the room. Juvia held her hand under the water to check the heat. It might be a little too hot, but Juvia didn't care. She stepped under the stream of water. Letting the heat flowed over her body.
'Juvia couldn't help Gray-sama. Maybe she isn't worthy off his love.' She thought as tears where flowing off her cheeks.
She wiped away a few tears and leaned on the bathroom wall.
"But she just doesn't understand!"
"Juvia-chan!" Lyon screamed thought the guild while running to her. "How are you my beautiful?" Juvia turned completely red and Gray turned away from the two. "Don't call Juvia that!", she said. Gray was obviously annoyed and growled a bit.
"What is your problem GRAY!" Lyon said and Gray turned to him quickly. "What is your problem walking in like that!"
"I was just greeting Juvia, and you obvious had problems with that!"
Gray gritted his teeth angrily. "No I don't. Do whatever you want!" He screamed and walked away from them, out of the guild.
"Gray-samaaa!" Juvia yelled being left behind. Worried about what just happened. "Don't worry about that jerk, Juvia-chan!" Lyon said standing awkwardly close to her. "I am here for you, always! You deserve so much better than that emotionless basterd." He hugged her while Juvia was staring at Gray walking away from their almost date.
A raindrop fell down Juvia's cheek.
'Levy-san was so kind to walk home with Juvia after that.' Juvia was washing her face know. Her head facing into the hot beam. 'Would something happened between Gray-sama and Lyon-sama earlier that day?'
Juvia turned off the shower and grabbed a towel.
'Juvia wishes to see Gray-sama soon. That everything is normal again.'
Juvia stopped drying her skin for a moment. "yes, Juvia rather has Gray-sama happy again then him accepting any off her invitations."
She put on her blue nightgown and started drying her hair. Maybe she just needed some sleep. She signed and walked back into her bedroom.

"Did you have a nice shower Juvia-chan?"

"KYAAAAAAA!" Juvia screamed while seeing the silver haired ice mage standing in her room. She fell backward and sat on the floor. "Why are you here?!" Her eyes where wide and her body was shaking.
"If come to take you with me my beautiful Juvia." Lyon said while walking towards her. He smiled as he kneeled down before her. He stroked her cheek gently. "My love.."

"Juvia, are you ok?" Levy screamed while slamming open the door. But there was no Juvia. She walked through the room while screaming her name. But she was nowhere.
There was an open window. Levy slowly walked to it. But there was nothing to see.
