"Juvia. I'm done, you can shower now" Gray left the bathroom with just a pair of boxers on and was drying his hair with a towel. It wasn't such a big deal anymore, Juvia was used to it, although she could never rip off the blush out of her cheeks whenever it happened.
"Okay Gray-sama. But i still think we could have saved some water showering together."
"Go take your shower already" Gray couldn't help but blush.
"Yes Gray-sama!" said the bluenette with the happiness that characterized her.
Gray waited some minutes and closed his room's door, took his lacrima-phone and pressed the "Code Red" button.
"Code Red here" said Erza on the other side.
"Yo. Erza…" Gray was almost whispering, he didn't want Juvia to hear him..
"Gray, everything is ok? The plans is almost ready to start."
Juvia opened the bathroom's door… She was always naked ever since she got the striping habit from Gray, so for her birthday a blushed Gray gave her a corset… The one she was always fighting when she wanted to take it of.
"Gray-sama! would you please help Juvia taking the corset off?" She was about to open Gray's door but she heard his voice…
"Yes it's just… I really need to tell Juvia I'm leaving" Behind the door Juvia was keeping her breath. Her Gray-sama was leaving their home? She couldn't remember doing something wrong. Yes, she as always used to tease with him, but that never bothered him that much, maybe was about Silver, maybe Gray remembered everyday she was the one who killed his father. Before she knew there were tears falling from her eyes.
"Gray, we talked about this. Is for her own sake, I know she'll be sad about it, but i prefer her sad than dead. This is a mission we cannot allow us to fail."
Gray keept his breath. Erza was right, it was really hard leaving her, after all, she was his nakama right? The thought of telling her went away as soon as he heard the word "dead". There was no way he'll let anyone beloved to him death once again. And if he told her, there was a high percentage she'll follow him.
He sighed. "Yes, you are right. There's no chance I'll let her take a danger like this one"
"You really love her, dontcha?" Erza smirked on the other side of the line.
"Sh-shut up. See ya" There was the blush again. It was scary to him, but he was getting used to it and even liked it.
"See ya"
Juvia smiled, even when she had tears in her eyes. She understood and she wouldn't be getting in his way, it hurted like a thousand of knives were in her chest, though. "Juvia will be strong Gray-sama" she whispered, going back to the bathroom.
