The blue haired water mage sighed as she took off the hat of hers that she was wearing from her head. "This is getting out of my hand" she was sitting down on her big room reading a letter that she had just received. Juvia looked around her to find Gray everywhere around her. The bed cover, the closet and even there were toys. She frowned at seeing them. She didn't know what was really wrong with her? She was acting weird around Gray. That's right that she still has the feelings of love but she was already tired of the chasing and the stalking game. She finally decided to give up on the stalking and stays away from him. That would make the both of them better than before. She looked down at the ground grabbing the letter that she held awhile ago and started to read it again.
Dear Juvia-chan,
"I have been really attracted to you for awhile and you know so. I really need to know more. If you accept my request to go on a date.. that would make me better. I know that I received your answer months ago but, I think I need another chance.
Answer me!
Hayato.
Hayato was one of the people that lived in the city that confessed to Juvia his love before around 4 or 5 months ago but she felt really bad to refuse his feelings because she always hated to hurt people even when they gave the chance to say yes or no. But, Hayato saw Gray and how he acted towards her. He was ignoring her and avoiding her in some times and even he is rude to her. So he started to realize how much that affected her and how it hurt her so much. Hayato decided to give himself a chance to ask her for the second time and hopes that she agrees. Juvia sighed looking at a toy that she had put beside the wall imagining Gray smile to her. She looked away rubbing her head. "That's true that I love Gray-sama but, Juvia can't live her life like that. Juvia is a girl and she needs to be cared by someone" and with, Juvia decided to give Hayato another chance and toss Gray's toys, covers and the closet away. The blue haired grabbed her hat heading out from her room to meet the rest of the fairy tail's members.
"Good morning, Mira-san" stated the water mage waving her hand to the white haired as she went to the bar and sat down on a chair.
"Oh, Juvia good morning" Mira answered back as she continued to do her work. Mira raised her head to see that the blue haired was chatting with Lisanna and totally was ignoring the black haired mage that sat in the table that was behind her. She felt strange thing going around. For the first time of her life Juvia came to the bar without stalking Gray. She said she would ignore it for now and think about it later and that would be better for now. Mira continued to clean the table's wood and greeting those who came.
The rest of the day was the same, Gray comes to talk to the people that Juvia is talking to, and she wasn't giving any reaction. Gray talks to her and she speaks with him like she is talking to anybody else. That made Mira go crazy and decide that she have to speak to her and know what was wrong with her.
"Ne, Juvia" Mira called while the blue haired was putting the chopstick inside her mouth eating the food that she was served. Juvia swallowed and stared at her. "What's wrong with you today?"
"What do you mean?"
Mira looked right and left making sure that no one was having their ears with them. She came down closing the distance between them making her confused. "I mean you and Gray, what did happen?"
"Nothing, really nothing" she answered as she grabbed the chopstick again as she began to eat.
"What do you mean by nothing? You are acting completely weird around him, did he do something?" she asked making the blue haired pause and stare at her food while the chopstick was touching her mouth.
"Juvia can't take it anymore" she finally said shocking the demon. "I simply hate to be ignored and avoided" she said putting down the chopstick. "I'm feeling that I'm jailed inside a circle I can't get out from"
"J-Juvia"
"I can't deny the fact that I love him" she looked at her closing her eyes and forcing a smile on her lips. "I love him so much but,.. I won't continue looking at him from far away. I need to be loved" she said as she looked down at the table while the bangs covered her eyes.
"J-Juvia, I-I believe that Gray feel the same but" she paused scanning the blue haired's face ".. he is a little shy" she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. This was the first time to see the blue haired really down and say things that not shows her character.
"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine" she looked at her face. "I even.. decided to go in a date tomorrow" she said shocking the white haired more and more.
"Date?! With who?"
"Hayato" stated Juvia scratching her own nose. "I bet you know him, he confessed to me months ago but I refused and he asked me again in a message" she said then she stood up. "I will be heading off, thanks for the food" she said leaving the barmaid in a shock.
Juvia walked glancing at the ice mage who was sleeping while crossing his hands in some random table. As soon as Gray felt that the blue haired mage wasn't here anymore he opened his eyes.
"A date! You have got to be kidding"
"What are you doing?"
Juvia twisted her body to look at the guests that came into her room. She smiled when she found that it was the redhead Erza and the blue haired little girl Wendy. "Erza-san, Wendy" she said while she was trying to put on the earring in her right ear.
"Hi"
"You didn't answer?"
"Ah, I have a date" she said while looking at herself in the mirror.
"A date? Gray asked you finally?" Erza smiled and crossed her arms looking at the blue haired mage from the back believing that the blue haired mage's finally became true.
"No" after a silence. "He is not a mage, his name is Hayato" she said looking at herself at the mirror. "Perfect" she smiled then twisted her body to face them "what do you think?"
"You are beautiful, Juvia-san" the little girl said looking at her bigger friend. Juvia grabbed her bag and patted the blue haired's head and giving them farewells to head out. Erza stayed in her place while she was crossing her arms and looking down at the ground.
"There's only two reasons for Juvia to do so, one that Juvia wants Gray jealous and the other one is that Juvia had given up"
