Well, I know juvia wants to date me but i'm just so…. Undateable. So what did I do? I wrote a song and am going to sing in front of the guild today.

As I walk the streets I feel a sudden tense feeling,

"What if the guild hates me after I sing that?" i think. "No! They would never do that!" my stage fright is getting the best of me again. I brush off those negative thoughts and open the guild doors.

The natural smell and look of our guild hits me and washes away all the anxiety I had about them hating me. As I look around I can see the natural scenery of a usual day in fairy tail, cana drinking, elfman yelling manly things, jet and droy questioning their life since levy got with gajeel the usual stuff. I head to the bar and sit next to lucy and natsu. To my luck I haven't seen juvia yet.

"Good morning gray!" mira says to me in her usual cheery fashion. "Morning." I sigh back

"Hey gray? If you don't mind me asking, do you have a musical instrument inside that bag?" lucy asks me. Before I can reply mira suddenly gasps and say " oh my gosh are you gonna play something! That's amazing!" oh great now the whole guild heard.

I want to say something but can't think of an excuse my social anxiety is rising and so is my stage fright. Suddenly like some sort of sick joke juvia comes in the guild and sees me carrying a bag shaped like a guitar.

"Gray-sama wrote a song? Is it a love song for juvia? Oh gray-sama I love you so much!" she says and runs up to me. Before she can reach me in time I get out of the way and finally speak up as I go to the stage. "No juvia this is not a love song. Not for you, not for anybody. In fact this is the very opposite of a love song.".

I set the bag down on the stage and get out what's inside it. A symphony ukulele. I take it with me to the stool and speak up seeing the whole guild looking at me with intense eyes. "Juvia I know you really want to date me. But before you do here's a song that explains why you shouldn't " I say before starting to strum my uke

So you want to be my date

I guess you would call it fate but

Here's a list of reasons why

You'd wouldn't date me again...

My room's a mess

I usually dress

Like I am twelve years old

My temper's bad

I'm mostly sad

I complain when I'm cold

I'm usually on missons

Usually boring

Enneagram 4

I lose my keys

You'll never see

My bathroom floor

I cry every day

I'm always late

I chew my pens

I can't operate ovens

Not great with dogs

I monologue

I pick my skin

Drink too much gin

Leave you on "read"

Have a loft bed

Never unpacked

Always jetlagged

Insufferable

Uncomfortable

Incapable

Undateable"

As I finish singing I see the guild looking at me dumbfounded. After a few seconds of silence I finally say "so yeah don't date me. Just go with someone better for you Like lyon" as soon as i say that I grab the bag and run out of the guild as fast as I can.

The following night I hear a knock at my door groggily I go open the door. Coincidently who else would be there but juvia just great. She speaks to me "gray-sama why? Why don't you like juvia?" oh god she thought that song was supposed to have THAT meaning I say back "juvia I do like you, you're a really sweet girl. You are, but I just can't date you. For many reasons. Please don't take this the wrong way. But i'd rather love you like a sister not a potential partner." she nods to me looking depressed I feel myself tense up as rain starts pouring down. "Juvia understands. But if gray-sama want to be friend then we'll be friends. If gray-sama is happy then juvia will be." she says to me and smiles. After a few seconds she turns around and heads back to fairy hills. I sigh and shut the door. While going upstairs I think about what she said. I hope she finds someone to love.
