Desires 3: Noticeable

Juvia only wanted to be notice by Gray; sure he sees her in the guild everyday, but she wanted him to notice her in a different way. She wanted to realize that her feelings for him isn't not a silly crush. Her feelings for her him is a strong, loving yet painful love. It hurts Juvia if she watches Gray talk to some other women. It really does hurt her; she doesn't understand why can't Gray have feelings for her too. Why can't he notice Juvia more than anyone else? That's what all she wanted from him.

Juvia sighed quitely as she watched Gray talk with Natsu and Erza. She wanted to go over there and smack him upside the head, but she didn't want to do anything reckless. Juvia kicked the floor, stubbornly brushes her boot, and drum her fingers on the desk. She bit her lower lip. Her eyes watching Gray like a hawk, like she just found her cute-little prey.

"Something wrong Juvia?" Juvia looked up at the sudden perky voice. Lucy was standing in front of her, arms at her sides, and eyes clouded with concern. She titlted her head to the side and looked towards Gray's direction. Lucy only gave Juvia a nod before taking a seat next to her.

"Gray, isn't it?" Lucy asked. Her head at the palm of her hand. Juvia nodded at the blonde, biting her lip in appraisal. Lucy pursed her lips, crossing her legs as she waited to hear Juvia's problem.

"Its just that - why can't Gray notice me," Juvia said. Her voice held sadness yet anger at Gray. She so many attempts to get himto notice her more. She did her very damn best. All she asked was for a little effort for him to lay eyes on her. Lucy collapses her fingers together, certainly intertwining them.

"I know how you feel," Lucy said staring at the water mage, "that's how I think for Natsu."

Juvia narrowed her eyes at her, in a very dangerous matter. "But you two are dating right? I heard your conversation with Levy. 'Oh Levy, have you heard, Natsu kissed me. Amd he was a very good kisser for an idiot'."

Warmth filled Lucy's cheeks instantly. She did had mean retort, but she decided to shut her mouth.

"Enough talking about me," Lucy sputtered her face still blushing madly. Juvia smirked, for she knew she scored a point. "Anyway, Gray, maybe he did notice you but have a different way of showing it." Juvia couldn't help but raised a curious eyebrow. Her heart hammering in her chest and cheeks blishing madly. His gaze was like a driven sword rammering into her very soul. Juvia held the gaze; she was trying her best to stare at him too, but she just habe these urges telling her to pull away.

Juvia didn't hear a word Lucy was spouting on about. In the corner of her eye, she did see Lucy's mouth srill moving. But she decided to ignore her for a little while, and stare at Gray (since he was staring at her first), so her blue eyes held compassion.

Gray gave her a small smile before landing his gaze back to Natsu. Juvia felt sadden; she wanted him to look at her more.

"Juvia?"

"Juvia, did you heardy statement? Juvia," Lucy said, huffing in annoyance. She may be fuming inside. Juvia stared at her. Her mouth wide open, but twitching into a graceful smile.

"He stared at me. He stared at me, Lucy," Juvia said her voice helding excitement.

Lucy eyes widen before speaking, "Eh-hhh! "

Gray smiled bashfully; he heard Lucy and Juvia's conversation. They speak so loud, but he was glad he heard. Natsu grimaced at Gray. All he can thinka bout was that smile. Gray smiling is creepy to him. Gray smirking is another horrible thing he'd rather not see.

"Why the hell are you so smiley, ice-pricess?" Natsu asked. That led Gray's smile dropped. He stood up from his seat; his clothes magically disappearing.

"What did you call me, flame-brain?!"

And so, this stupid conversation or questions led them into a fight. But during the fight all Gray can think about was Juvia's eyes.

Her eyes were like hearty sapphires cutting deep into his soul.
