"Miss Loxar , his Highness is able to see you know." Juvia stopped tapping her shoe on the ground , and turned to King Ivan's royal servant , a man by the name Boze . Juvia's body turned rigid. A man! She thought. What was King Ivan thinking when he sent Boze, couldn't he sent Sue instead? Sure she broke the rule and saw a male before in her life. However that didn't stop her form acting strange around them.
Trying to keep her cool. Juvia stood up and put her book close to her chest "Very well ." She said. "I suppose you will lead the way?"
"Of course." Boze gestured for Juvia to follow him, and she did. After four miles, it seemed, of confusing hallways, stairs , and awkward silence. The two reached their destination. "This is it." Boze said monotone, opening the door for Juvia." His Highness should be waiting behind this door."
Juvia politely thanked him and stepped inside the poorly lit room. Nervous about her appearance, Juvia patted down her black pencil skirt for unwanted creases and wrinkles, then tucked in her white blouse for about the seventh time this day. Tucking a loose blue curl behind her ear, Juvia then started tapping her shoe on the ground repeatedly. It was a habit of hers she was trying to quit.
Losing patience, Juvia looked around the room she was in. She was pretty sure it was the King's study room. Or perhaps it was a Library, she thought eying the all the shelves filled books on each wall of the the room. Suddenly a voice called out behind her.
"Enjoying my collection of books, miss Loxar?" Juvia whipped her head around to see the one and only King Ivan. " Your Highness" she said, bowing her head down.
"Now Juvia no need for that." He said , chuckling. Changing the subject he lead her by her waist to the highest bookshelf there was ,"Pick any book you would liked. I'll let you keep it."
Twitching at his hand on her waist. Juvia politely declined his offer. However he wouldn't take no as a answer "Maybe that black haired friend you have might want one. So take it for him?"
"Gajeel?" Juvia questioned. "Yes Gajeel was his name!" King Ivan Smacked his fist to his palm. "How could I ever forgotten he is my favourite spy!"
Seeing Juvia wincing at the word spy. He smirked evilly and quickly he added in,"After you of course."
Not looking into the king's eyes Juvia nodded mutely. "So want a book?" He asked again. Sighing inwardly. Juvia nodded. She knew they wouldn't be discussing business anytime soon without picking a book. Juvia closed her eyes and moved closer to the bookshelf. Closing her eyes she stuck her hand out and pulled out a random book.
Opening her eyes she saw King Ivan smirking at her. "That's quite a racy book." He said, eyes dancing with amusement. "Are you sure you want it?"
Juvia blushed and nodded without saying a word
"HE WHAT!?" A black haired teen roared. sitting on a nicely made bed he stuffed his face with another handful of freshly baked cookies.
His blue haired friend Juvia , cringed at his loud voice and put her hands over her ears. "Gajeel!" She hissed."Not so loud! Don't you know what will happen if they caught you here?"
"Yeah, yeah I know." Gajeel made a cutting motion towards his neck. For a second he almost forgotten the number one rule in Magnolia, females and males living in the land of Magnolia must never see each other, under no circumstances .
"But still." Gajeel added. "How could the guy forget my name!?"
Juvia sighed and reached for a cookie from her own plate. It was a gift from King Ivan , since he had to interrupt their meeting to go to a another.
"So did you talk business?" Gajeel asked.
Well..." Juvia said, fumbling her hands together. "Before we could talk business. "He had to go to a another meeting, before we could talk."
Gajeel made a annoyed face, which very hard to do with his face filled with cookies. "The cookies were from him." Juvia added in nervously, trying to make things better. Although she made it worse.
Gajeel spitted out the cookie that was recently in his mouth, on the floor. He grabbed a near by water bottle and rinsed his mouth with it. "These cookies were from him!" He shouted, with his tongue out. "He could of poisoned it! The guy is evil! Remember?"
Juvia nodded in agreement and spitted the remaining soggy crumbs of the cookie she had eaten in a tissue she grabbed earlier. "Sorry Gajeel I'm so sorry I never thought about the possibility." Juvia said. "But out of curiosity. Why would Ivan poison us?"
Gajeel ,still rinsing his mouth of that disgusting yet delicious cookie. He answered Juvia gruffly. "We are spies for him." He said. "We know what he does to people for fun. Why wouldn't he do the same to us?"
"Yeah." Juvia added in numbly. Tears started to dribble from her eyes down her cheeks."We are disgusting worthless spies. Why wouldn't he do the same?"
Eying Juvia sadly. Gajeel patted her back awkwardly, ( he wasn't the kind to show much affection).
"Don't feel bad Juvia." Gajeel said , trying his best to sound soothing. "You only chose this job to protect the ones you love. And it's working."
"Thanks Gajeel" Juvia said. Smiling sadly she gave her friend a small hug. "If anything is bothering you. You can tell me. I'll do my best to comfort you."
"Actually there is one thing.." Gajeel smirked slightly. "That book you brought in.."
Cutting him off. "Not you too!" Juvia groaned.
Gajeel raised his hands in mock surrender. "I was only going to ask can I borrow it!" He laughed.
Juvia blushed for the second time that day.
A/N Tah Dah the first chapter to my story. At first I was originally going to start the story with two different characters. But then I was like why not give Gajeel and Juvia's friendship some love.
As you can tell so far from the this chapter that Juvia and Gajeel are both spies for Ivan and that the no seeing people from other gender rule doesn't apply to them. I know there is a lot of gammer and punctuation mistakes don't worry I'll fix them later. Bye for now
