Her feelings were just too much.

Chapter 1: Juvia's Dilemma

It was a fairly normal day at Fairy Tail. Everyone was busy occupying themselves with the usual things.

Cana was scandalously seated atop a table chugging down a barrel of rum. The Raijin Tribe was fangirl-ing, (or for Bixlow's and Freed's case, fanboy-ing) over the indifferent Laxus. Happy was handing over a fish to Charle, while Wendy was chatting with Romeo. Erza, as usual, was leisurely eating her strawberry cake. And on the far corner of the hall, Natsu is arguing with Elfman about something manly.

"AAAAAAHHHH!" screamed the frustrated Juvia loudly before pounding her head on the bar counter.

Mirajane, not even surprised with Juvia's outburst, eyed the water mage intently.

"Any problems, Juvia?" the white-haired mage asked, her motherly side taking over.

Juvia momentarily stopped injuring her brain and stared at Mirajane, eyes flowing with unabashed tears. "Ju-Juvia is in despair!"

Mirajane laughed softly while looking at the younger mage. "You know," she started with a coy smile, "Gray-sama will be back any minute now." She teased, definitely enjoying Juvia's rants.

The blue-haired mage blushed tremendously. "Mira-san!" she squeaked out of surprise. Her wide blue eyes turned daggers when she realized something. "Does Mira-san like Gray-sama as well?" she asked, her tone, reproving.

Mira waved her off playfully, dismissing Juvia's malicious thoughts. "Please. Gray is like a little brother to me. Besides, no one would dare steal him away from you."

As if on cue, Happy came flying to the two girls.

"I miss Lucy!" he whined to no one in particular.

Mira reached down the bar counter and served Happy a plate of fish before saying "Lucy and Gray will be back from their job today. No need to sulk, Happy."

And that was Juvia's biggest dilemma.

Her Gray-sama went on a job with her love-rival, Lucy.

And to celebrate the painful reality that her one true love is with another woman, Juvia cried an ocean, literally.

"Gah! I'm drowning!" Droy screamed.

"Fat-ass! You're floating!" Jet shouted back.

"Charle, grab my paw! I'll save you!"

"I can fly, stupid."

"Is this the beach?"

"Crying is manly!"

"MY. CAKE."

Mirajane sighed. Here they go again.

A/N: Hi, this is Patty! First of all, I want to thank you for taking interest in my first ever fanfiction story. You just made my day.

Lastly, I love GrayxJuvia, and I know you do, too. Why would you read this if you're not, right? *nudge nudge wink wink
