A/N: I love the GajeelJuvia friendship. Totally awesome.

"Still stalking that damned ice stripper?"

She placed her mug down, slyly turning her attention to Gajeel. "Juvia does not stalk."

A snort. "Sure."

"She does not," she repeated again, blankly. "Juvia prefers the term 'intense research on an individual'"

Gajeel gorped. "Stalking."

Juvia wore a serious look. "Just because Juvia happens to know how many boxers Gray-sama owns, does not mean she stalks him."

"Not that he wears them anyway." He concluded, chewing on some random iron.

"Gray-sama? Pantless?" She blushed, "Gajeel-kun, I-I can't-"

Gajeel attempted to speak intelligently, yet settled with grimacing. "Tsk, yer a good for nothing crazed Rain Woman. Quite the stalker, and heck, naturally weird too."

She snapped out of her satisfying daze. "Gajeel-kun. You know Juvia doesn't like being called names." She looked stern. "Besides, she can make it rain on you."

He only grunted in response.

Her eyes sparkled. "You wouldn't like rusty iron."

"Nice point," he agreed, changing the subject. "You ain't getting nowhere stalkin' around, though."

Juvia chewed her bottom lip, deep in thought. "Juvia could try kidnapping him."

"-And that would most likely result in him getting a restraining order on you." He snorted at her stupidity. "Talk to the damn idiot, idiot."

"Juvia is fascinated." She stared deeply in his eyes, a prolonged gaze. "How is Gajeel-kun so good at giving love advice?"

A smirk. "I have my ways."

"It's Levy-san?"

He promptly choked.

A legible smile escaped her lips. "You like Levy-san."

"You like that stripper." He countered. There was no denial, though.

"-And Juvia is proud about it."

It was true, she was far proud, and honest. Yeah, she wasn't ashamed. Her imagination was far fetched when it came to Gray. Definitely didn't help that she stalked him either. Or researched him, whatever suited her. Either way, Gray was still oblivious, and she was socially awkward.

He shrugged. "Well I ain't said I wasn't proud about Shrimp."

Before she had time to interrogate their relationship, a pantless Gray and an angry Natsu came flying over.

Natsu pulled himself up. "Put your pants on before saying anything!"

"Gajeel-kun!" Juvia turned her attention to him, he overtly avoided her eyes. "Gray-sama is wearing boxer number 37! He received them as a Christmas gift from Erza-san three years ago!"

Gray froze. Just how the heck did she know that?

This swiftly resulted in Gajeel falling off the barstool. "Fucking stalkers." He muttered.

"I do not align my boxers." Gray coughed, trying and failing to get anyone's attention.

"-Intensive research," Juvia corrected, still fawning over Gray's abs. He willingly chose this time to run away.

And Natsu stood, laughing at the scene, while Cana showed up and made several bets on how many different underwear Gray owned.

Casually, Juvia won.

A/N: No really, she stalks.
