A/N: I originally planned this story to be on a comedy but it ended up a bit angsty instead. Sorry!
Not wanting to appear too eager, Lyon had left his kiss chaste. To Lyon, it was amazing as he thought it would be. Yet at the same time, he couldn't shake the feeling that Juvia had thought of someone else while he was kissing her. Probably his rival, Gray.
Noticing his surroundings, Lyon sighed. I was too impulsive, Lyon thought regretfully. This wasn't really the ideal spot for a first kiss. Kissing Juvia in front of the house of his rival? That was pretty much an invitation for Juvia to think of Gray.
"Let's go," Lyon said, as he gently led Juvia away from Gray's house.
Gray seemed to have a significant advantage so far, Lyon thought. Lyon hoped he could start turning things around over lunch. Being from a different guild, he needed to make every moment count. Lyon glanced at the woman who had stolen his heart. It appeared that one kiss was not enough to change her feelings toward Gray. He would need something more. But what?
Juvia was silent as she walked beside Lyon. Lyon's brief kiss had left Juvia confused. Was her heart beating so fast because she had kissed Lyon? Or was it because she had kissed the man who had kissed Gray-sama? Why had she been disappointed when Lyon had pulled away? Was she only interested in kissing Lyon because of Gray-sama? Perhaps after lunch, she should ask Lyon to kiss her again. Just to make sure.
Gray stared at the retreating figures of Lyon and Juvia. His heart which had been pounding so loudly earlier was now silent and constricting painfully.
Wanting to get some fresh air to clear his head, Gray had gone to the window to open it.
To his great shock, Lyon was still outside and was leaning down to kiss Juvia. As Gray watched, Lyon's lips slowly descended on Juvia's. One hand cradled Juvia's cheek and the other held her hand. More surprising to Gray was the look on their faces. Juvia's face was flushed and she looked excited to be kissed by Lyon. And Gray had never seen Lyon's face wearing such a gentle expression.
Lyon's kisses to Gray had been pure showmanship. He did it to prove to Gray his superiority and mastery. There was no feeling in those kisses.
Lyon kissed Juvia like she was something beautiful and precious. The kiss was brief but it expressed everything that had been missing in Lyon's kisses to him.
As they pulled apart, Gray ducked, not wanting to be seen.
Gray clutched at his heart. His chest hurt but he couldn't figure out the reason.
He remembered Juvia had once asked him, "Gray-sama! Who is it you really want? Me or Lyon-sama?"
Was he jealous of Lyon? For kissing Juvia? Or was it… Gray didn't want to think of the second option.
Wanting to erase the past couple of hours from his memories, Gray threw himself back onto his bed and tried to go to sleep.
