She was getting tired of his solemn behavior towards her. It was getting draining. Its her nature to show her love and care openly because she had nothing to hide. She gave herself a bench mark. She'd set him aside after she formally asked him how he really felt about her. She had to move on if he wasn't going to love her in return. "After all I'm still very young and Lyon seemed really interested in me, maybe I'll give him a shot" she thought

She admitted to herself… keeping dolls of him and always going freakish around him was creepy but that's because she truly loved him. "First things first I have to get ride of all these dolls."

After clearing out her room she decided to go to the guild and let the cat out of the bag in a civilized way… she wouldn't want to creep him out.

On getting to the guild hall. She started wiggling at the first sight of him. "I guess old habits die hard, I must be composed" she made herself aware of every of her movement. She wouldn't want her body going freakish on her.

"Gray?... can I talk to you privately for a second" she asked quite normally, this made Gray think she was in trouble or something he answered immediately "sure…"

They walked to the back of the guild making team Natsu look at them suspiciously.

"I wonder what that was about…" Lucy said to Natsu

"it's probably nothing…" Natsu said stuffing his mouth with food.

"You're probably right" she said looking at their 'retreating' form in not so much as a convinced look.

"what's up juvia…hope you are good?" Gray asked afraid by the tone she spoke in.

"Yes I'm fine, I just wanted to know something."

"Kay..I'm all ears" he said. "Do you love me… I'm not asking as a friend… Do you love me as something more than a friend?" she asked him making cringe at the question.

He thought about what Erza told him during the games. This was his chance to tell her how he felt without hurting her too much now that she seemed somber but for some reason he found it hard to say. She had grown on him and he wasn't sure if he loved her or not. But he could tell she really wanted an answer and that answer could be detrimental to their friendship.

"you are one of my best friends juvia… if not my best friend I know I love you as my very good friend…but what you are asking…" he said.

She looked so sad by how the conversation was going… she knew his answer and she wasn't going to back down now she was going to let him go.

She teared up, before he could comfort her she leaned in and kissed him. She didn't expect he'd kiss her back… out of shock she broke the kiss… she found it hard to focus, when she finally did she spoke..

"I'm sorry… I know you don't like me like that, it will never happen again. I promise I'll just be your friend from now on. Nothing more nothing less. Thank you for your time" she said then stormed off probably to go sob somewhere.

He wanted to go after her but he couldn't seem to think straight. Something in his head told him. Their friendship wasn't going to be the same.

She was more than devastated but deep down she had a feeling this was going to be the outcome. She was going to aspect their new relationship.

She was going to be someone new so she went shopping. She didn't get blue outfits or hats. She got different colors of clothes like pink, red, green, white…she got mini skirts, shorts crop tops and tanks. She even got a new pair of bikinis but also not blue. She wanted to be born anew.

When she got back to her dorm room she tried on her new clothes. They we're pretty but not her color, she didn't really mind though.

Tomorrow she was going to act differently.
