A/N: Oh my gosh thank you so much for all the nice reviews! They made me so so so happy. So, this chapter has some Bora in it. I hope he isn't too OOC, I haven't really seen his character in a while bc I watched the Fairy Tail anime a few years ago and he was only in a few episodes. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 4 — Boyfriend

Finding out that Juvia had a boyfriend was pretty shocking, but Gray got over it after a day or so. It's not like he had any feelings for Juvia, anyways. But for some reason, he felt himself getting mad when he saw Bora and her holding hands in the hallways at school. He wasn't sure why it bothered him so much, but it did. When Juvia hung around the club, she usually didn't bring Bora with her. She would talk about how it was healthy for couples to not spend every second of every day together. Gray had to admit, she seemed happy with Bora. Hopefully Bora wouldn't pull anything to make her upset. Otherwise, he'd probably be answering from a very angry Gajeel.

After a long day at school, Gray was ready to pass out right then and there on the couch. Something caught his attention, though. He saw Juvia sitting out in the driveway again. What was with her and driveways? The raven-haired decided to step outside and make his way over to her driveway. She looked up at him and immediately smiled.

"Hello, Gray-sama," she greeted.

Gray nodded. "Hey."

A moment of silence passed before Juvia patted the spot next to her on the driveway, indicating him to sit down next to her. He obliged and decided to rest his back against the pavement. Juvia stayed where she was, sitting upright and looking upwards at the sky while Gray did the same. The stars looked as they usually did, extremely bright and all over the place. After a while, Juvia decided to lie against the ground as well. It felt peaceful there with her, he had to admit.

"Juvia?" he heard a voice say. It sounded familiar.

The bluenette sat up quickly, her face lighting up. "Bora!" she cheered before standing up and joining her boyfriend on the sidewalk. Once she reached him, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Gray sat up soon after, but stayed where he was on the concrete. He examined Bora, trying not to glare at him.

"Oh," Juvia said once she remembered that Gray was still there," "Bora, this is—"

"Gray," he interrupted her, not wanting to find out how Bora would react when she called him Gray-sama. Gray stood from where he was seated and walked over to the two. He extended his hand out to Bora. "Nice to meet you."

Bora stared down at his hand before taking it leisurely. "The pleasure is all mine."

Jesus christ. Gray hated him already. He seemed so cocky and condescending. Why would Juvia want to date a guy like him? She'd brought him around the club a few times, but Gray had never actually spoken with him. Now that he has, Gray didn't want anything to do with him. He had seen him walking around school a few times before, and knew of his status as a player, so why the hell didn't Juvia know that? Gray released a silent sigh, deciding that he needed to get away from this situation as soon as possible.

"Juvia," Bora said suddenly after a few minutes of silence. "I came over because I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date tonight."

The bluenette smiled. "Juvia would love to, Bora."

"Then I should get going," Gray suggested. Bora gave him this face and Gray absolutely did not like it. "Have fun."

As he was walking away, he heard Juvia say something. "Bye, Gray-sama!"

He could see Bora's eye twitch. His expression screamed anger, but calmed down after a few moments. Thank god he wouldn't have to deal with him tonight. The last thing Gray needed was to get in a fight with someone over the way Juvia says his name. He waved carelessly while walking into his yard. Finally, he made it to the porch. Before opening the front door, he looked back at the two he just left on the sidewalk. They weren't looking his way, obviously; they apparently had started making out once he walked away from them. Gray rolled his eyes before quickly going inside and slamming the door behind him. The couple had probably headr him, since they were pulled apart from each other when he looked at them slightly through the curtains of his window. This was only for a brief moment, however.

Once he left the window, Gray went towards the kitchen. He wasn't even hungry, he just found himself being drawn to it. Like there was something he needed in there. As he entered the kitchen, he found his mother sitting at the kitchen table. Her hands were clasped together in front of her. She looked up at him knowingly, as if she was waiting for him.

"Mom..." Gray groaned. It's like she already knew what he was thinking. Even if he wasn't her flesh and blood, she still had a mother's instinct that she shared with all of her children. Adopted or not, she knew when something was troubling them.

Ur put a hand on the chair next to her, urging him to sit down. Gray rolled his eyes before pulling the seat out and taking it. He had no idea exactly why Ur felt like he was even upset. What kind of vibe did he give off? Was it really that obvious that he wasn't… fond of Juvia's new boyfriend?

"I knew we'd have this conversation one day, Gray," Ur told him suddenly.

He raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What conversation?"

"You know what I'm talking about," she said. "Ultear said the exact same thing when she started having trouble with girls."

Gray scoffed. This was definitely not the same as Ultear discovering her sexuality. Besides, he's had plenty of girl trouble before. It just seemed that he never exactly told his mother that he was having it.

"This isn't like that."

Ur just grinned. "I can see the jealousy in your eyes."

The boy glared at his mother. He definitely did not want to talk about this with her. What would she even tell him?

"Who is she?" she asked simply.

Gray huffed, crossing his arms. "She's no one."

"Sure she is," she spoke sarcastically. He knew he was being completely obvious, but he couldn't bring himself to admit it. Gray didn't even knew what his jealousy could mean.

He decided it was because that he really hated Bora.

"Her new boyfriend's just a complete asshole. I don't want to see her get hurt."

Ur looked towards the ceiling, deep in thought. "Have you thought of warning her?"

"If I did, she'd just accuse me of liking her," he told her.

It was true. She would definitely do that. And how could he possibly get out of that situation?

"I think we're ignoring the obvious question," Ur claimed. "Do you like her?"

Gray's eyes widened slightly. He quickly stood from his seat. "What? No!"

Ur just grinned. She nodded, but he knew she was thinking something entirely different. He rolled his eyes and walked towards the refrigerator. Opening the fridge door, he grabbed a bottle of water and quickly fled the room before his mother could say anything else. Gray rushed upstairs to his bedroom and shut the door silently. He turned around, then, facing the door. His head rested against the smooth wood. Maybe Gray should warn Juvia. Even if she accuses him of liking her, it's better than finding her crying because Bora did something terrible. He really didn't want that happening to her; she didn't deserve it.

Gray decided he would talk to her about it tomorrow. Until then, he'd have to hope that Bora didn't already make his move. It seemed shallow to think so poorly of her boyfriend, but the stories he heard of Bora were not pleasant ones. The girls he previously dated would say that he would take advantage of them in any way he could, whether it be for sex, money, or anything else. After the damage was done, he would drop them the very next day. Gray felt his chest tighten. Would Bora do that to Juvia? Surely he would, but Gray couldn't imagine it. She was definitely smart, and would most likely understand when he confronts her tomorrow.

Heaving a sigh, Gray grabbed his backpack and set it down next to his desk. He sat down in front of it before pulling out his textbooks. This was usually when he did homework with Juvia, but she was on a date with Bora. For some reason, the thought of it made his blood boil. He convinced himself it wasn't jealousy, though, it was just worry. He was definitely worried about Juvia.

He shook his head and rid his thoughts of the situation. This wasn't the time to dwell on the possible endings for Bora and Juvia's relationship. Right now, he just needed to make sure that his homework was done before he went to sleep. It would surely be a difficult task to complete, but he needed something to distract him. He decided to start with astronomy. Astronomy was undeniably one of the toughest classes he had right now, but it the difficulty was usually eased because he had Juvia to help him out. Without her his homework would probably take forever to complete.

Gray sighed and tried to get through his homework, but it took longer than he wanted it to. Once he finished everything, he looked at the clock and saw that it was past midnight. He groaned and threw his completed homework back into his backpack. Before going to bed, however, Gray decided to get another water.

As he was making his way downstairs, he noticed something outside. It was Juvia, sitting in her driveway. What the hell? It's past midnight and she thought it was the perfect time to stargaze? Jesus christ, Gray had to admit she was pretty weird. He walked towards the front door. Before he opened it, he knew he shouldn't go out there. He knew that he should just leave her be until he could speak with her the next day, but now was not the time to give her space. She needed to know who Bora was and what he was capable of.

He finally opened the door, which caused Juvia to sit up and turn towards him. He could see her smile, the street light shining down on her. He tried to smile back, but found it to be tough. After standing there for a few moments, he saw her wave him over. Sighing, he made his way to her lawn and took no time in sitting down next to her on the concrete.

"Hi, Gray-sama," she greeted.

He nodded in reply. "What are you doing out here? You know it's after midnight?"

Juvia released a breath. "Juvia just wanted to sit out here for a few minutes before going to bed."

Gray looked towards the sky then, his gaze falling upon several stars. It was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The sky had never truly looked like this before. He now understood why Juvia was so obsessed with this driveway, with the sky. It was a sanctuary.

"Juvia is really happy," she said suddenly.

Gray looked back towards her. "Huh?"

"With Bora," she explained. "He makes Juvia very happy."

The raven-haired sighed. Great. "About that," he told her, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible. "Bora really isn't what he appears to be. He uses people, and he'll probably do the same to you."

"What?" she asked, obviously confused by the accusation made of her boyfriend.

"I don't think you should be dating him. He isn't as good of a guy as you think."

"Gray-sama..." she whispered. "Could you be saying this because you're jealous of Bora and Juvia?"

Gray's eyes widened. "What? Why would you think that?"

Juvia shrugged her shoulders, and lied back down against the pavement.

"I'm not jealous," he said, his voice louder than it should have been. "I'm worried about you."

"You don't need to worry about Juvia. She can take care of herself." Her voice had risen vaguely.

Gray sighed. "I'm just trying to help you."

"Well, don't." she told him cruelly. "Juvia doesn't need your help. Bora treats Juvia in every way she wants him to, and she knows he would never do anything to hurt her. Think before you accuse someone of such things."

Before Gray could say anything, she stood and left him there on the pavement. He heard her front door slam. Releasing a long sigh, Gray finally got up from where he was sitting and walked back towards his own lawn. It was hard to find it believable that Juvia just yelled at him like that. They haven't known each other that long, but she's never raised his voice towards him before. Gray decided to just shrug off what happened, going back inside. He suddenly found himself feeling extremely tired.

Gray groaned as he walked up stairs to his bedroom. Right now, all he needed was a long night of sleep. He obviously wasn't going to get it, since it was almost 1 AM, but he could still get a somewhat decent amount before he had to wake up.

He fell into his bed as soon as he made it to his room. It didn't take long for a much-needed slumber to consume Gray.
