"Juvia, are you ok?" Someone asked, their voice pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked down and saw Wendy standing beside the table I was at."Yes, Juvia is ok. Thank you Wendy?" The truth is I wasn't. It's been a week since I went on that mission with Lyon, and the events were still replaying in my mind.

*Flashback to her mission*

"LYON!" All I could see was Lyon's body go flying across the clearing. As I ran towards him a beam of dark magic shot in front of me, preventing me from going any further.

"Now that the buzz-kill is out of the way, why don't you and I have some fun." The dark mage yelled as his tendril-like magic wrapped around me, pulling me closer. "Ngh.. LET...GO...OF..HER!"I looked around to see Lyon running full speed towards us, preparing to attack.

"Hmm, you're still standing after that attack, maybe you aren't as weak as I thought, I guess no fun for us right now sweetheart," the dark mage said as he dropped me from his grip and sent it flying at Lyon. I looked over at Lyon, who seemed like he was dodging the attacks with ease, like they were going in slow motion. He was closing in on the mage when he yelled his attack, and sent ice flying at the mage, encasing him in a shell of ice.

"Lyon!" I shouted, running towards him, pulling him into a tight embrace. "Juvia-chan!?" Lyon pulled away, his face completely flushed. "What's wrong Lyon? Oh no, you were injured, right? That's why you're so red. We should get you and this one back to the village," I suggested, pointing behind me to the trapped mage.

After we handed the dark mage over to the mayor we went to the inn for the night. Upon entering the room, we discovered that there was only one bed. I guess Lyon saw my concern. "Juvia-chan, it's ok. I'll sleep on the floor," he offered, looking into my eyes. I felt my face heat up. "No, no, no, you are the injured one. You get the bed," I said firmly, placing my hands on my hips. "Now, what kind of man lets a lady sleep on the floor when there is a bed that is big enough for two people to sleep a comfortable distance from each other..."he reasoned, trailing off.

"We'll figure that out in a little bit, but I still have to look at your wounds, so you're going to have to..um... take off your...um... Shirt." I said nervously, looking at the ground, a little embarrassed. "Oh.. Yeah... Um sure." Lyon seemed just as embarrassed. What he was embarrassed about I have no idea. I mean, he was an attractive person. But I had to admit, just thinking about seeing him shirtless made me hot, with his chiseled features from his toned shoulders to the V muscle leading to his- Oh my goodness what was I thinking? I can't believe what I just thought. I'd never thought of Lyon that way. I mean I guess since Gray-sama has been ignoring me, I should consider Lyon, since he seems to care about me. I wish Gray wasn't so confusing. He doesn't seem to like me, yet every time I'm with Lyon, he gets really mad at me.

"You're thinking about him, right?" Lyon's voice brought me out of my deep thought.

"Wha.." I looked up at him as I came out of my contemplations.

"Gray. You're thinking about him right?" He asked, looking hurt. Did I do something to upset him? Why was I so concerned with making him happy after looking at his sad eyes?

"Yes, but not in the way you think Lyon,please don't be upset," I pleaded.

"How can I not be upset?" he demanded. "You think you're in love with some jerk who treats you bad. Juvia, you deserve someone who can care about you, and wants to see you smile and laugh, and never to see you sad or crying. Gray doesn't deserve your love." Lyon looked away after his outburst with a slight blush on his face. All I could do was smile at how much he cared about me. "Why are you smiling?" he asked, looking up at me.

"Oh, nothing. Now lets get you all cleaned up so you can get some rest," I said with the biggest smile I had. It seemed to cheer him up slightly, but I could still see he was upset. I walked over and realized he didn't take his shirt off. I reached for the bottom off his shirt and started to lift it up and off his body. "JUVIA-CHAN!" Lyon shouted in embarrassment, pulling his shirt down. "Lyon-sama, why are you getting so nervous? You always take your clothes off, and it's not like I'm going to do anything bad. I just need to clean and wrap your injuries," I explained with a small giggle. Reluctantly he released his hands from his shirt and allowed me to lift it over his head. His face was flushed, and I thought it was just the cutest thing ever. Small giggles escaped my mouth despite my best efforts to stop them. After I removed his arm from the shirt, I turned to place it on the table beside the bed. When I turned around I felt all the blood in my body rush to my face. God, I was glad there wasn't a doctor in the village. I got to take care of him and have an excuse to stare at his body. Looking at him, I realized that he was more muscular than Gray.

It took a some effort, but after pulling my attention to his wound I winced slightly. The wound wasn't a deep puncture wound, it was a long slash that went from one side of his abdomen all the way to the other. I reached into the first aid kit and pulled out the hydrogen peroxide and some gauze. After setting them aside on the bed, I went to the bathroom to get a towel. When I returned I had him put the towel under his lower back, and made him lay back down on the bed.

"Lyon, this is going to hurt a little bit , just squeeze my leg ok?" I told him as I placed his hand on my thigh. "O-Ok?" I took the cap off of the peroxide and tipped it enough for a small stream to pour out onto his wound. As soon as the liquid hit him he inhaled deeply and squeezed my thigh slightly. 'Oh god, maybe that was a bad place to put his hand. Mmh but it felt so goo- Wait no! Bad Juvia!' I mentally slapped myself in the face.

When I was done cleaning him up, I had Lyon sit up so I could bind his injury. After about a minute of close body contact I was finished wrapping him. Jeez, any later and I would have lost control and tackle him.

"Juvia-chan?" Lyon asked, back on the bed. "Yes Lyon?"

"Umm... I was wondering what the sleeping arrangement was?" He looked away immediately, like he said something wrong. A light blush adorned his face 'This is my chance!' I yelled to myself. "Well, since we both refuse to let each other sleep on the floor the only option is to sleep with each other..." My eyes went wide. I looked up to see Lyon smirk a little. Oh, god I was embarrassed. "No that's not what- What Juvia meant was.. th-that...um." I couldn't find the words to explain anything. "Why are you stuttering, Juvia-chan. Is something wrong?" Lyon asked with smirk as he got up and walked towards me.

With every step forward he took I took one back. This went on until my back was against the wall, and Lyon had me pinned to it. "L-Lyon, w-what are y-you doing?"

"Me? I'm just trying to walk so I'm not sore in the morning." 'Bullshit' I thought.

We had a staring contest for what seemed like forever, waiting for the other to give in. Sadly the one to give in was me. But I didn't look away. Oh no, I didn't give up. I glanced down at the part of his body that wasn't wrapped and then looked back up at him. I could see the confusion in his eyes, and I knew I had him right where I wanted him. Without hesitation, I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him down to me as our lips met. It was gentle at first, because Lyon was still confused, but then he began to kiss me back. His hands went from being on either side of my face on the wall to snaking around my waist, pulling me close. I could hear him suppress a moan, and I allowed one of my own to escape my mouth. When we parted for air Lyon looked at me. "Juvia... We can't..." He looked down and pulled away. I caught his arm and pulled him to look at me. "And why not 'Lyon-sama'?" I asked, putting extra emphasis on his name. He looked shocked and then went to bed and said goodnight. 'Really! I kiss him and practically melt in his hands, and he just says "we can't" what the hell is wrong with him' I thought, fighting back tears. I crawled into bed as close to the edge as I could get without falling off and drifted off into a restless sleep.

*End of flashback*

I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn't realize Gray-sama was talking to me. "JUVIA!? Hello? Are you ignoring me?"

In truth, after I was brought out my thoughts, I was trying to pretend he wasn't there. Apparently he wouldn't leave without getting my attention. He began poking me trying to get me to react. Finally I snapped. "WHAT GRAY!" I shouted causing him to flinch back a little. "Juvia.. What's wrong?" I could hear the pain in his voice. It kind of confused me. "Nothings wrong with Juvia, Juvia is fine. Juvia actually thinks there's something wrong with Gray."

"What do you mean 'you think something's wrong with me?" Gray was looking at me, eyes full of confusion. "And, not that I care, but why aren't you calling me Gray-sama?"

"For your first question, Juvia think something's wrong with you because every time Juvia get back from a mission with Lyon-sama you focus all your attention on Juvia until you get the information you need and then go back to ignoring Juvia. To answer your second questi-" I was cut off by Gray standing up, his eyes shadowed with rage. "What did you just call him?" He growled at me like an animal. "W-Wh-What?! Umm..." Thinking back, my eyes widened. 'I called Lyon...Lyon-sama!? That was the second time.' I thought. "Umm... Juvia called him Lyon-sama..." I got as quiet as possible when I said his name. Gray didn't say anything, he just walked away.

"Juvia, what was that about?" I looked up to see a very concerned Lucy.

Looking into her confused eyes, I let out a depressed sigh. "Juvia went on a mission with Lyon-sa...chan..." I said, stopping myself from saying it a third time.

"So why is Gray mad? Did Lyon do something to you? If he hurt you, I will see to it that he is unable to walk anymore, so help me, Mavis!"

I giggled at my friend "No, no, no, Lucy-chan... It's actually the complete opposite..." I saw her perplexed expression and realized that I had to explain. I told her about the mission and how I was oddly attracted to him. I also told her about the kiss. When I finished, her eyes were wide and she looked like she was going to burst any second in excitement.

"Wait so you told Gray!" Lucy went serious.

"NOOOOO! Of course Juvia didn't. Juvia just called Lyon, Lyon-sama and he snapped."
