A/N: Sorry for not updating... I had a busy week because my grandpa passed away so I had a few things I had to do. But, now I am here and ready to update! Chapter Four will be out tomorrow. I promise! Anyways, here is the chapter.
3- Thinking and maybe even feelings?Gray's POV
When I pulled away from the hug she looked up at me. I could tell I really hit a part of her that meant a lot. Her eyes filled with pain and pure agony. Am I falling for her, I don't know, but whatever this is I will help, even if that means hurting the people closest to me. She may even be making me soft, I want that to happen. But I also don't want to get close to anyone. Not with the crap I have been through.
She noticed me staring and looked away. I was a bit panicked, "Sorry, Juvia. I mean you have been through hell and back, literally. If you need anything, or you just want to talk, come to me. Ok?" I know one day I am going to regret saying that but I need to live in the moment.
"Ok, just don't leave me like everyone else does...please, I can't go through it again." She was trembling a bit and I didn't want to let go. I have this part of me that says I shouldn't let go. I don't know what is going on but I will just go with it.
"Why would I ever leave, why? You can't leave me either, you hear me?" I hugged her making sure that she fully understood what I meant. I sound bipolar but I don't know what my mind is making me do. I….. I just don't want to be hurt. Nor do I want to hurt someone again.
"Yes Gray-Sama, I hear you, loud and clear." She snuggled her head close to me. I could tell she felt safe. I was happy about that and felt myself smile. I never do that. Especially to others. But at least she trusts me now, finally, I have someone I can break my walls down with, all of them.
After she left to go lay down on her bed I decided that I should get some sleep too so I went to the bed and laid down. I thought about everything I have been, though, maybe one day I'll tell her, one day.
Juvia's POV
When I laid down to go to sleep I couldn't help but feel like he may have been through some tough times too. Maybe one day he'll tell me, I mean I really want to help him, but I don't want to pressure him. Maybe it is better off that way, you know, letting him do his thing and me there to back him up. I think that is a good idea.
****Morning****
I woke up early and made breakfast for Gray and I. I made an egg, sausage, potato, cheese breakfast bowls for us. I was almost done making the breakfast when I felt strong arms wrap around me, "Morning sleeping beauty. How did you sleep?" I said as a shiver went down my spine and up again.
"Yea actually I did, what are you making?" He let go and sat on the counter by where I was making the food.
"Just the best breakfast you have ever eaten!" I was being stupid as I was trying to sneak peeks at Gray-sama. I don't know why but I just had to. I felt like if I didn't then I would miss out on something.
"Ohh really, I was thinking about going to the canteen and eat there." He said leaving me sad, "O-oh, ok I guess." Did he actually mean it, is he just going to leave me? Just like everyone else.
"Don't be sad I was just kidding." He said. My response was taking some of the cheese I was sprinkling on the bowl and threw it at him, and hitting him in the face. He decided to take some on the cheese and drop it down my shirt. The next thing I knew we had a food fight, no shock. When we were done we went and ate what was left of the food.
**** In the classroom****
We got to Health and sat down. Everyone was talking and having fun until Natsu and Gray started fighting, like usual. Except this time it seemed to be worse, why? Ugh they should really get over themselves before something bad happens to them. Mainly because of Erza. She can be so scary sometimes, really. As I thought this I looked around to hopefully find her, but she was nowhere to be seen. Maybe she hasn't made it to the class yet, I mean it is understandable since she is the class president and she has a boyfriend. Her and Jallal, her boyfriend, are both seniors but are in the same class since this is Health.
A few minutes later she walked in and Gray and Natsu stopped fighting and put their arms around each other's shoulder. They even started acting as though they were best friends, honestly that was really cheesy because we all know that they hate each other. She actually bought it though, I thought that she was smarter than that but I guess I was wrong. She walked over to me and said,"Were they fighting? Be truthful"
Ummmm what do I say?! "Noooo, they were totally being best friends... ugh what am I saying, yea they were fighting, sorry Erza for lying."
He face grew evil….. "It's ok, just don't do it again, ok Juvia?"
I nodded and said, "Ok, good luck with those two!" I said as she walked away and started, literally, killing them.
After she was done murdering them I walked over to Gray and asked if he was ok. "Yea I am ok, just a little hurt all because of the titania."
I chuckled and responded, "Ok I will take you down to the nurse if you want." I looked at him concerned.
"Nah I'm fine. Let's just sit down and get ready for class." He was trying to act all tough.
"Ok, let me help you," I said and reached my hand out.
"I'm fine I can get up on my own" He stood up and started walking but stumbled and fell on me... he was on top of me and I was being straddled by him. As this was happening Erza came back in, since she left to go to the office, and yelled at Gray,"Are you wanting a death wish?!" Oh crap….
"No, god, I fell ok? Don't kill me again sheesh!" he responded and got up from underneath me. When he got up he held his hand out for me take ahold of so he could help me up. Which, with me embarrassed, didn't take it, instead he bent down and carried me to my chair, and when he carried me it wasn't in a pleasant way either, he had me slumped over his shoulder.
After he placed me down Erza went to the front of the classroom and announced that the Health teacher was not here today, and that we would have a free period instead. Everyone around me started to cheer since we don't have to talk about body systems. She also said that she was in charge and all the other boring things that I didn't really care about.
When she was done Gray came over to me and sat down next to me. "Hey," I said. "Hey, sorry about earlier," he said and cleared his throat.
"It's ok at least it was you not some weird stranger," I said then tried to fake laugh.
"Yea, well what do you want to do?" That's a good question. "Umm I was planning on going to the library, is that ok? I mean you can join me if you want to." I said and looked down.
"Ok that sounds good, let's go" We walked out of the classroom and head downstairs to the library.
