"We lost. To Lamia Scale. FUCK!", Gajeel exclaimed, and he looked at Juvia worriedly. He knew of the bet. The bet that stupid stripper made with the other stripper. Not only did the stripper made a bet to make Juvia leave, it was his fault that Fairy Tail had lost, too. Gajeel felt like punching ice-pants' face until his eyes would be too swollen to see anything until the next Daimato-Enbu!
He may never openly admit it, but Juvia was Gajeel's best friend. Because of her he was in Fairy Tail. He knew that Gray was not the only reason for Juvia to join Fairy Tail. The stripper may have played a big role in her decision. But Juvia also wanted a family. She never had one. Gajeel had Metallicana once. He had a father. A family. Juvia was an orphan. Because if the rain no one wanted her. She was always alone. And when she thought she found someone, it always turned out as the wrong decision. Phantom Lord. Bora of the Prominence. Even when they were still in Phantom she had no one.
Totomaru, Sol and Aria let her be with them as a part of the element four. But they underestimated her. Thus they treated her as a weak child. Gajeel knew, she was not a weak child. An emotional one maybe, but she was more mature than most others.
Well to say she had no one was a lie, he had to admit, when she did not want to be with the three idiots, Juvia came to him, as he always sat alone.
At first Gajeel thought of her as a nuisance, he wanted to be alone. But soon he found how refreshing it was to be near the Rain-woman. She always had a good piece of advice for him. She was a great help on difficult S-Class missions. She knew when to shut up and let him have his alone time. Soon she formed a team with him more often than with the rest of the Element four. He became her family. Then the fight with Fairy Tail came, after which she entered Fairy Tail, and wanted him to be part of the guild as well. Her- No their new family.
Of course Lamia Scale seemed to be a family, too. But Juvia was happy in Fairy Tail. Gajeel had never seen her smile so much. An now because of a stupid bet, she would have to leave?
The strippers had bet on her. And Gray lost against Lyon! That defeat was the point that Lamia was ahead of Fairy Tail in the end. A rain drop met Gajeel's face and he saw red. Next thing he knew, was three bluenette's screaming for him to stop. He felt his fists hitting on bones and flesh.
"Gajeel-kun! Stop!", he heared the Rain-woman's voice call out to him and a cold swift of water met his face. Gajeel looked up.
Gray's nose and lip were bleeding, his left eye was swollen."That fucking IDIOT!", Gajeel growled and Juvia shook her head. "Juvia is touched that Gajeel-kun reacts this way, but it is Juvia's fault that Gray-sama lost. She wanted to help him, but her plan backfired and she distracted Gray-sama. " "But because of the fucking bet you've got to leave Fairy Tail now!"
"Juvia and I never agreed to the bet. It was only Lyon. Juvia and I actually talked about the whole thing. As long as neither her, nor me agreed, it was no bet. We simply let Lyon in his believe, that he could win Juvia.", Gray tried smirking, which was hard due to the fact that his face hurt. He had been so surprised by Gajeel's assault, that it was not possible to defend himself.
Juvia was at his side quickly with a wet cloth. Carefully she wiped away the blood on Gray's face. He flinched when the cloth met an open part of his lip. "Juvia is sorry, Gray-sama. She did not want to hurt you.", Juvia apologized, but Gray only shook his head. The two smiled at each other for a second.
And Gajeel understood. "How long has this been going on?" "The evening after the Naval battle, Juvia was down. She had the feeling, it was her fault that Lucy-san was hurt so bad. If you remember the night, it rained all the time.", Juvia smiled and Gray answered "I figured she felt down and went to cheer her up. One thing led to another.", he shrugged and Juvia blushed. All Fairy Tail members cheered. It seemed like none of the other guilds had noticed what was going on, because soon Lyon came along.
"Juvia-chan are you ready to come to Lamia Scale.", the white haired male puulled the bluenette into his arms. "Juvia is sorry Lyon-san. Juvia does not remember agreeing to the bet, or that Gray-sama agreed. Lyon-san was the only one believing there was a bet going on.", softly she removed herself from Lyon's arms. "But Juvia-chan! I won!", and he tried to force a kiss upon her. When a bucket of water streamed over his head he let the girl go in confusion and shock.
"That was a got one, Rain-woman!", Gajeel laughed and Gray smirked "That's my girl!". Juvia giggled and blushed and threw herself into Gray's arms, leaving Lyon even more confused.
Later that evening Juvia approached Gajeel. "Nee Gajeel-kun, Juvia wants to thank you." "For hitting your stripper boyfriend?", the Iron Dragon Slayer raised a pierced brow. "Yes. Well No. If Gajeel-kun says it like that, it sounds weird. But by doing that, you showed Juvia that you care for her. Juvia wants to thank you for that.", and she hugged Gajeel quickly. "Oi, Rain-woman! Stop it. I don't want your stripper boyfriend to get jealous.", he muttered, and Juvia laughed. "He will not be. He knows how much Juvia loves him.", and she bounced away to meet her boyfriend.
