Let the Past Stay Behind

#1

"…As Juvia was saying, it is not required of me but an utmost chance like the one present here, shouldn't be ignored. Lucy-chan, I need this. It might be one chance to learn more about-"

"Hey, Juvia." A certain dark haired figured said, approaching the table where the two women sat.

The Blue haired water mage made a slight gesture of exasperation, not turning toward the man she was supposed to be head over heels for.

"Yes. Hello Gray-sama." She answered, still focusing on Lucy and spelling out each word slowly as if she was explaining something to a small child. The blonde, getting where the situation was going, pursued the conversation.

"…Right. To learn more about that. I get it. But don't you think that's going a little too much overboard? Who knows if your lead is… well if it's genuine. I mean, Juvia, you really shouldn't rush things, it might be-"

"Watcha talking about?" Gray asked, completely blind to the fact that he was cutting them for the second time.

He earned another sigh from the water woman. What was with her today? Whenever he came to sit by her, she would literally drop unconscious… and right now, her conversation with LUCY seemed more important? It annoyed him a little, but completely ignorant as he was about feelings, he shrugged it off.

"Juvia's birth parents." Lucy groaned at him.

"Oh."

"Don't Ohme, Gray Fullbuster. Family IS a sensitive subject here!"

Shit, now he had annoyed her. Lucy went on and on about how in Juvia's case, wanting to understand her parents' death was important and-

"Phase of what?" He interrupted.

The blonde was surprised to see that he might have ACTUALLY listened to what she had said, and it caught her off guard.

"W-Well, it's not like it concerns you anyways."

In Gray's opinion, it did. He didn't talk much with Juvia but she was still a nakama and he cared about her. She was as important to him as all Fairy Tail was. He tried to investigate further more into the problem but only got rejected when Juvia stood up, and turned to leave.

"I'll see you Lu-Chan." She said in a whisper.

"Wait. Juvia!" Gray called.

She turned around and smiled for a brief moment.

"See you later Gray-sama."

And she walked out of the Guild.

"Tell me one thing."

"I don't wanna talk to you."

"It's important."

"Like I care."

"Lucy! Stop fucking ignoring it!"

The celestial mage turned around.

"And why is it exactly that you are focusing on Juvia's feeling now of all times?"

Gray shifted. He was loosing is patience and his chest felt like it burnt. He took of his shirt.

"Because."

Lucy flinched at the sight his bare skin, but snorted at his answer.

"That girl, is my friend. She's been in love with you for as long as I can remember, you've never even looked at her once with the same feelings. Now? All I can say is find out yourself Gray!"

The ice mage murmured a "whatever" and turned to leave.

"And Gray?"

"Yeah?"

"For the love of God, put your pants back on."

"SHIT."

HEY YOU GUYS! I'm so happy, this is kinda my first FF about Gray and Juvia. It mostly focuses on Juvia searching for her past (Ik it didn't happen like that, but meh…) and Gray trying to figure out what to do with an issue that bothers him AUA. Also you'll probably cry in this story… but that is just emotional-me guessing.

Anyways! I hope you like it!
