A/N: New chapter! Yay! I wanted to thank CabbageGir99who is the writer for the amazing work we find in this chapter. Anything you see in italics is hers and I have to say, I laughed the entire time I was reading it. I hope you all enjoy! Let me know if you like the chapter!
Lyon watched with narrowed eyes as the spirit pulled Gray to his chest. How dare he hurt Juvia! Gray was well aware of the way Juvia felt about him and what did he do? Throw it in her face that he liked someone else! And a man, on top of everything!
It was despicable. To think that Gray would pass over Juvia for someone like…that.
"What?" Gray demanded, apparently noticing Lyon's eyes on him.
Lyon didn't get a chance to respond as Juvia grabbed onto the lion spirit and forcefully attempted to pull him away from her "beloved Gray-sama!" Gray turned away from Lyon and focused on the fact that the lion had tore his arm away from Juvia and turned to glare at her. "Loke-" Gray muttered, barely loud enough for Lyon to hear, "don't bother."
How dare he!
"Gray-sama! Come sit beside me! If you are cold, Juvia will help warm you up!"
Gray looked at the girl, his brows furrowed as the lion – Loke- laughed. "Juvia, I'm an ice wizard. I don't get cold."
"There's no need to talk to her like that, Gray," Lyon cut in, earning himself a glare from two people across from him, "with the way the cat is hanging off of you, anyone would assume otherwise."
"Cat?" Loke said quietly, his eyes flashing behind his glasses.
"My darling Gray-sama must not be feeling well! That would explain why he is letting this filthy thing touch him!"
"Thing?" Loke snapped, turning to glare at the rain woman. "At least Gray doesn't run away whenever I'm around him."
"Loke-"
"Gray-sama is just shy! He knows our love will withstand time! Loke is now Juvia's love-rival…"
"Juvia, stop!"
"Go ahead, Gray. I'm sure you and the cat would be great together. I'll take care of Juvia-"
"Shut up, Lyon!"
"Ooh!" The argument broke off as the four turned to the stage, startled at the loud squeal that had broke into their argument. Mira was staring at them, a bright smile on her face. Lyon glanced around quickly, realizing that the demon wasn't the only attention they had drawn. He crossed his arms over his chest and turned away from the gazes. "I have a perfect story for this!"
"What?!" Gray said, swiftly getting to his feet. "You just read something about me! Dammitt, Mira, this better not have anything to do with-"
"What if it does?" Mira said, her voice suddenly dropping an octave as she stared down the younger ice make wizard. "What are you going to do?"
Gray froze and Lyon found himself silently telling the other to take his seat before the demon attacked. Surely Gray was intelligent enough to realize it wasn't worth it.
Well, this was Gray. He shouldn't think too highly of him.
Gray slowly sank back into his seat and Loke instantly moved closer to him while Juvia continued to glare and mutter about love-rivals and her precious Gray. Lyon bit back a snarl. When would the rain woman realize how much better things would be if she turned to him instead? He would make her happy. Happier than she would ever be with Gray.
It was a cold day in the depth of winter, but for some the cold could barely be described as bothersome. The handsome and strong Gray Fullbuster, for example.
"Handsome and strong?" Natsu cut in, laughing loudly and earning himself a punch in the gut from the mentioned boy. "Fight me!"
"Back of Natsu!"
For him, this weather was hardly a nuisance. It was when the beautiful mage felt the strongest and could beat any enemy or rival in his way.
But it was also when he felt the loneliest.
"Poor Gray," Lyon mocked.
Oh, how he longed for a pair of arms to hold him, or a soft mouth to kiss him when he wasn't feeling strong. Not the cold of this weather, but the cold of his heart continued to bother the considerate and passionate individual. There weren't a lot of people in his life that could chase away the cold. Some were too afraid to come close to the brave and charming man, but he could always count on his beloved to save him.
Lyon felt himself gag. Did people really see Gray – the same Gray sitting across from him – like this? It was obvious whoever wrote this had built Gray up in their fantasies to the point that he was almost unrecognizable. Most likely a person who had seen him in the Magic Games and had never met the boy in real life.
If they had, this story would be written very differently.
"Oh," He exhaled throatily, the eyelids to his sparkling deep-sea aquamarine blue eyes fluttering. Gray ached for the alluring body next to him, desperate to feel its warmth.
And he was gagging again. At least this time he wasn't the only one. "Ew!" Natsu yelled, moving as close to Lucy – and as far away from Gray – as he possibly could. Lyon noticed that the cat did the opposite, pressing himself closer into the ice mage and saying something Lyon couldn't hear.
He decided that was probably a good thing when he saw the way Gray jerked and his cheeks stained red.
He broke from his thoughts when he heard a loud gasp. His eyes flickered to the rain woman, only to sit up straight in surprise when he caught a glimpse of her face. Her cheeks were even darker than Gray's and her eyes were flickering from Gray, to the floor, then to…him?
"Why don't you come a little closer… Ice boy," He heard, the whisper barely audible. The dazzling mage looked up to the person hovering above him.
"Gladly," He breathed, a smile breaking through his face as he moved closer to his companion.
"Stop!" Gray broke, his hands covering his ears. "This is ridiculous! Cant you pick on someone else?"
"Yeah, I don't want to know about snowflakes sex life!" Natsu agreed loudly.
"Please don't say those two words together," Romeo said, looking slightly nauseous.
"I don't mind," Loke cut in mischievously.
Said companion, with glittering hair as white as the snow surrounding them-
What.
-and gleaming dark eyes that left many wondering at their secrets, took Gray in his arms and snuggled him tightly.
What.
"Gray… I've missed you,"
"How much?" Gray asked breathlessly while he pressed his stunning face against the hard but soft chest of the man in front of him.
"Man?" Hibiki asked, looking slightly uncomfortable as he quickly glanced at Loke and Gray. "Well, it seems it isn't enterily wrong."
"What did you say, Pretty Boy?"
"Aw, thank you, but you aren't my type."
"Words can't express it… I've thought about you every day since I left to finish a request, my beloved. I could never leave you…"
"Every day, huh? Naughty boy," the passionate male replied. "I've thought about you too… Lyon."
Time seeped to freeze around him. He didn't hear that. He must have been imagining it. Not that he would even remotely imagine himself in that position, but there must have been a mistake. Maybe the demon read it wrong. There was no way-
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Gray exploded, once again jumping to his feet. This time, the cat didn't try to stop him. Actually, the cat seemed to be just as irritated as Gray. Lyon noticed with interest, still feeling somewhat detached from what was going on around him, that Loke's hands were now on the table and clenched tightly. He vaguely wondered if he had claws like his namesake and if they were currently digging into his palms…
"Aren't they brothers?" Sting asked, looking slightly confused.
"NO!"
"Ah, so you dated?" Rogue cut in.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
Lucy giggled uncontrollably from her spot beside Natsu, who just seemed to be looking back and forth between himself and Gray with his mouth hanging open. "Well, that was unexpected," Levi said, giggling with Lucy.
"It kind of makes sense," Lucy added.
"Lucy!"
"So many things make sense now," Shelly said brightly, making Lyon turn to her sharply, "the reason you lost on Galuna Island was because you wanted to give him your love."
"No, it really wasn't," Lyon finally spoke. He turned to Juvia and saw the girl was blushing even more brightly than she had been before. "Juvia, my love, I would never betray you like that."
Lyon shivered. The joy of hearing his name come out of the other's lush lips would never cease. He pressed Gray even closer before he picked him up and cradled him in his arms. "Let's go to my apartment, my beloved ice prince?" The delicate male in his arms trembled in anticipation.
"Seriously? Mira, stop reading!"
"Lyon…"
His lustful lips neared Lyon's, and the older mage held his breath in expectation. He could feel the younger mage's cold breath on his lips as they neared his…
"I swear to god, I'm going to freeze this entire room…"
Lyon agreed. If they worked together, he was sure they could act quickly enough to surprise everyone and make their escape.
"Wait," Gray suddenly cried out as he pulled away dramatically. "I can't. I belong to the beautiful Juvia. She has the key to my heart. "
Mira paused, obviously waiting for a response. Lyon himself blinked, trying to catch up. So…this story…Gray refused him…for Juvia?
"Gray-sama-"
"No."
"So, Gray's bi then?" Eve commented.
Lyon was dumbfounded for a moment before the splendid man came back to his senses. "You're right, my beloved. We miss the fair maiden Juvia-chan in our company!"
"WHAT?!"
"Mira, what the hell are you reading?" Laxus finally asked as a scowl overtook his features.
"Isn't it cute?" Mira asked, her smile wider than ever.
"No, it isn't!" Gray snarled.
The striking blue hair, much longer than Lyon's, for Gray to tangle his fingers in, with gorgeous blue eyes, much bluer than Gray's, for Lyon to stare into.
There she was, standing in the distance! She became shy with the eyes of the handsome men on her.
"Of course she's there," Lucy muttered, "the girl follows Gray everywhere."
"What was that, love-rival?"
"Nothing!"
"Juvia, my darling! How was I so blind?"
"Juvia-chan, marry me and we'll have 33 babies!"
"But Gray-sama and Lyon-san… You cannot both have me?"
Gray moaned loudly, sinking back onto the bench and, for the first time, placing his head on Loke's shoulder. "Make it stop."
Lyon felt his eyebrows raise as the cat moved his hand to bury in Gray's hair, holding his face into his shoulder as he turned to glare at the woman beside him. What exactly was going on? Not that he would complain if Gray decided to date the cat – Juvia would be all his then!
"Both of them?" Natsu asked, confused. "How can she have both of them?"
Lucy blushed brightly, "Ask Erza later!"
"But-"
"Oh, my Juvia, your heart is big enough for both of us!"
"I have to disagree, I would not be able to share my precious Juvia with anyone, especially not Gray."
"You can have her," Gray muttered.
"Gray-sama!"
Juvia blinked rapidly. Two beautiful men, a marriage and thirty-three babies? It was too much to resist! She blushed.
"Thirty-three babies? Where have I heard that before…" Lucy mused out loud. She blinked suddenly, pointing to Juvia. "You always say-"
"Love rival!"
"It does sound like one of Juvia's…daydreams," Levi said, continuing Lucy's train of thought.
Lyon turned to the rain woman in surprise. Juvia daydreamed about him? About having thirty-three babies?
"If you think so… Gray-sama…"
Lyon and Gray showered her and each other with kisses.
"Oh, Juvia and Gray… I've never been so happy in my entire life! Please love me forever, and marry me!"
"Yes, I do!" She swooned and Gray nodded viciously while he held her in his arms.
"Bedtime… my darlings."
"Wait, that sounds like something Juvia would-"
"Do you think she-"
"Could it really-"
"Yes!" Juvia said loudly, standing up and placing her hand on her chest, "Juvia wrote that wonderful piece! Juvia wanted the world to know about her love for Gray-sama and wanted him to know that she would do anything to make him happy! Even if it meant being with another person as well!"
"I would be with Gray if it meant I was also with you!" Lyon declared loudly, also getting to his feet.
"I don't want anything to do with either of you! Leave me out of it!"
