AN: Sorry for not updating for a while. I had a lot of stuff going on. But hey I finally had some time! I hope you like this chapter.
"Wait a second! Juvia needs to get kidnapped?!" Gajeel was regretting not looking into the mission more. He glanced at Juvia and saw her fidgeting nervously. He couldn't see her face because of her bangs. Taking note of his friends discomfort Gajeel was ready to turn down the mission and head back to the guild. 'Screw the fancy food and chairs!' "Were lea-" Juvia suddenly jumped up and Gajeel stepped back in surprise.
"Juvia's never been to a fancy party before! Juvia's very excited! Gajeel aren't you excited." Gajeel's jaw had hit the floor. Juvia's bright eyes and happy smile made Gajeel force a nod. Juvia was spinning around. 'Did she not hear the kidnap part?'
"Via, isn't it dangerous to use you as bait? What if something happens?" Gajeel placed a hand on her shoulders to interrupt her celebration. She spun around to face him with a huge smile.
"It's fine! Juvia has Gajeel! Juvia and Gajeel make a good team! Juvia wants to eat fancy cakes and stay in a big house! It makes Juvia feel like a princess! Isn't this wonderful Gajeel?!" Because of her excitement Juvia had forgotten what personal space was. Gajeel blushed at how close her face was to his. He tried to back up but there was a table behind him.
"U-uh yeah! Thatnsounds great Via! Well I need to go to the restroom!" Gajeel slid past her and rushed to the bathroom. He stared at himself in the mirror. 'Why is my face red? Damn it! Why do I get nervous so easily!'
After dinner, Juvia and Gajeel headed of to the guests room. Juvia grabbed Gajeel's arm as he opened his door.
"Are you lost already Via?" He raised his brow as Juvia fidgeted.
"The mansion... Is so quiet and big... If Gajeel didn't mind could Juvia just stay here?" Gajeel knew his cheeks were most likely red so her turned his face away from her to open the door. They had shared rooms together before on past missions. But with all of these 'weird' feelings he had lately it made him hesitate.
"Alright, I guess it's fine." Juvia brightened and hugged him. Gajeel stiffened and stood there frozen as Juvia jumped on the enormous bed. 'What the hell? Why can't I breathe?! It's like I'm dying. What the fuck is this feeling? All she did was hug me.'
Gajeel snapped out of his trance and went to get ready for bed. Juvia took a shower first and Gajeel went after. When he exited the bathroom Juvia was already passed out on the bed. She was sprawled out everywhere. Gajeel sighed and lifted her up and moved her to one side. He layer down on the other side and turned of the lights.
As Gajeel was about to drift off to sleep he felt something warm press against his back and Juvia's arm wrapped around him. Gajeel's eyes shirt open and his heart stopped for a second. 'Agh this feeling again! Via why?!' She tried to scoot away but Juvia just hugged him tighter. Gajeel turned to see her peaceful sleeping face. 'How am I supposed to move her?' After a while Gajeel wrapped his arm around her. This wasn't so bad. He was actually beginning to like the feeling he had whenever he was with Juvia. Suddenly Juvia started to mumble in her sleep.
"Gray Sama..." She whispered. Gajeel felt a pain in his chest and started to move away from Juvia. She rolled back a little. Gajeel stared at her. 'Of course she still loves the damn stripper.' Gajeel put a blanket between them and moved as close to the edge as he could.
Juvia was the first to wake up the next morning. She sat up and started stretching her arm. She looked and saw a blanket rolled up next to her. 'Why is that there? Did I kick Gajeel?' Gajeel looked close to falling of the bed so Juvia got up and pushed him back. She smiled and went to change. When she finished she saw that Gajeel had woken up.
"Good morning Gajeel kun!"
"Stop adding kun. Morning Via." He yawned and entered the bathroom. Juvia started folding the blankets up. She rearranged the bed until it looked neat.
"Juvia is going to breakfast first!" Juvia received a loud grunt as an answer and exited the room. She scaned the hallways. "No which way was the dining room?' Juvia. Spotted a guard walking towards her.
"Do you need help?"
"Yes, which way is the dining room?" The guard smiled at her.
"It's down that hall, but let me walk you there." Juvia nodded and fell in step besides him. "What's your name?"
"My name is Juvia. What's yours?"
"I'm Gave. Are you with the other guy."
"Yes Juvia is on the mission with Gajeel." The guard chuckled at her. Juvia stared at him not understanding what was funny. The guard stopped walking and Juvia stopped with him.
"Are you dating him?"
"No Gajeel is just Juvia's best friend!" Juvia reddened and flailed her hands around in nervousness. All of a sudden the guard got closer to her. Juvia backed up into the wall.
"I'm glad you're not dating him. You're very beautiful. Do you want to have some fun with me?" He tilted Juvia's head towards him and leaned in close. Juvia was holding her breath and getting ready to water whip him. Suddenly the wall behind them shook and broke into pieces and the guard was sent flying down the hall. Gajeel dusted off his hands and grabbed Juvia's arm.
"I thought you were going to breakfast. I didn't know you went to flirt with some guard." Gajeel growled, he tried to make it sound humorous.
"Juvia got lost. He was helping Juvia go to-"
"He was forcing himself onto you! Why didn't you do anything!" Gajeel's anger was flaring.
"Juvia would've but he was a guard so I didn't expect that... Sorry Gajeel." Gajeel sighed and his anger dissipated,
"Whatever. I'm starving woman."
After they ate they discussed with their employer on the plan. They spent the whole day preparing for it. Finally it was time for the party.
Gajeel stood outside of the room pulling on his tie. "I can't fucking breath. Why do I have to wear this stupid suit.' He had been waiting for Juvia to get changed for the last 10 minutes. Gajeel pounded his fist on the door.
"Oi! Via, are you done yet? Hurry up it's almost time!" Gajeel slumped back against the wall.
"Juvia is almost done!" Gajeel waited for a few more minutes before the door finally opened. "How does Juvia look?" Juvia had her down in waves with a crystal head band. She wore a long sky blue sleeveless dress. Gajeel was frozen for a few moments but he managed to snap himself out of it.
"I guess you look alright, it sure took you a long goddamn hour though." Gajeel was blushing and Juvia pouted.
"Juvia only took 20 minutes! What do you mean! Juvia tried so hard to be fast!"
"Alright let's go already."
Gajeel was supposed to guard Juvia throughout the party. He just had to wait for someone to snatch her and then he could beat them to a pulp. However, the longer he stood there the more necks he wanted to snap. 'Why are all these guys dancing with Juvia?! What are they staring at her for?! Who do they think they are!? Just wait till I get my hands on them!' Gajeel stood at the drinks table fuming as one after the other random guys in suits went to dance with Juvia. 'He looks like an asshole. He looks like an idiot. I don't like how that guy smells.' Gajeel ended up scrutinizing every single one of the guys that danced with Juvia. He was glaring at someone as they finished dancing that he didn't notice Juvia walking up to him.
"Are you okay Gajeel? You look you're about to kill someone."
"You're damn right I am! I'm about to kill every single guy here!" Juvia laughed his outburst.
"What did they do to Gajeel?"
"I just don't like them. Anyways it's already been an hour since the party started. Where is this guy were supposed to catch?" Juvia shrugged at Gajeel's question. Another guy approached Juvia and asked for a dance. Gajeel glared at him. Suddenly someone pasted his shoulder.
"Excuse me, do you want to dance?"
"What?" Gajeel turned to see who was interrupting him from his thoughts.
"Come dance with me!" She had blue hair and bright green eyes.
"Sorry I have better things to do." She traced his line of sight towards Juvia.
"Do you like her." Gajeel had quick heart attack.
"No she's just my best friend." She pulled him towards the dance floor. 'Her hair looks like Juvia's.'
"My name is Kyra."
"Hey look, I really don't want to dance." Gajeel tried to pull back his arm when suddenly the lights cut off for a second. He heard a window break and all the guests started screaming. Gajeel ran frantically around in search of Juvia. The lights turned back on and Gajeel bumped into someone. He saw blue hair and grabbed her shoulder.
"Thank god you're safe, I was worried." Gajeel turned her towards him and was met with those bright green eyes. "Dammit."
