A/N: I promised Gruvia, so here's Gruvia! The unison raid and jealous Gray were born from the idea of one reader and I would like to thank him for that. Enjoy!

Juvia was standing in the arena with Gray, Lyon, Milliana, Eve, Drake, Pluto and Coral. This round in the games was called 4 way battles and Juvia honestly had no idea as to what it was.

She silently cursed Meredy for pushing her into a round in which Gray of all people was participating.

"In this round we split the 8 participants into two teams. Team 1 will consist of Juvia, Coral, Eve and Lyon. Team 2 will consist of Gray, Milliana, Pluto and Drake. In the first part of the game, both the teams shall fight against each other until one team is completely out of members. In the second part, the members of the winning team shall fight against each other to have a winner."

The participants assembled into their respective teams and waited for the signal to begin.

BEEP!

Gray had to admit that both teams were equally strong and determined. From his team, Pluto was eliminated and from the other team, Coral was eliminated.

"Crap!" Gray cursed. He created a hammer that took down Eve. Now there were only Lyon and Juvia standing.

"It appears that team 1 is losing. Team 2 has three members remaining while team 1 only has two!" The announcer was clearly excited. "Can the combination of water and ice defeat their rivals?"

Lyon created multiple ice geysers that took out Drake and Milliana.

"What the fuck?" Lyon cursed. Gray was still standing.

"Team 1 is back on track leaving only Gray to be eliminated." The lachrymas showed a pissed Lyon and Gray and a determined Juvia.

Juvia smirked at Gray before grabbing Lyons hand.

"Don't tell me…" Gray was shocked.

"… Juvia and Lyon are going to perform a unison raid!" The announcer blared.


Gray was losing focus on the battle. He was more concerned with the fact that Lyon and Juvia were too close with each other both physically and mentally. Mentally because unison raids couldn't be performed without close bonds. What was even worse was the fact that Lyon had his arm around her waist and that his bare chest was pressed against her breasts and that she could probably feel his abs. The position was exactly similar to the time when Juvia and Gray had done their first unison raid together. He gritted his teeth and could hear Natsu yelling at him to defend himself from the attack. But no. Gray had to be mad enough to slice Lyon into pieces right then and there because a unison raid of water and ice was Juvia's and Gray's thing. Like caramade franks were their food. Unison raids were their thing. And just because he was too busy handling his thoughts on how cruel life was, he was taken down and all went blank.


Juvia was shocked when Gray didn't try to block their attack. She was even more worried when Gray was hit by the attack and fell to the ground. The magic was quite strong and Juvia was worried about Gray. So she took out the anger for having hurt Gray by defeating Lyon and decided to go visit Gray who was in the infirmary. She knew that Erza would be there too. She and Erza had talked when she'd gone to visit her after her fight with Ultear and Erza.

"Juvia-Chan!" Lyon ran towards her waving. His face had a smile that he always wore and Juvia smiled back. "The fight was amazing." Lyon complimented her and Juvia laughed.

"Anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to go for dinner with me tonight. L-like a date. What do you say?"

"I'm sorry Lyon. But I can't if it's a date. But I will come as a friend." She smiled.

Lyon sighed. "Is this about Gray?" he asked. "It's been five years Juvia! Freaking five years! Are you still waiting for him? A coward who can't face his own emotions?" His voice was rising and Juvia was glad that they were outside.

"It's not about Gray, Lyon." Juvia replied in a very calm voice. "It's about you. I can't fall in love with you because you're like a friend to me. And I'm sorry. But that's all you'll ever be to me." She turned away and walked a few steps before stopping and saying "You asked me if I was still waiting. You waited for me for five years, didn't you?" She smiled to herself before walking away again, leaving a thoughtful Lyon behind.

Juvia walked into the white infirmary. The only thing not white was a few red roses in a vase on a side table. She saw Erza on one bed smiling and holding hands with Jellal. She smiled at the scene before going over to the next bed separated from Erza's space by a curtain. This one was crowded and Juvia knew that Gray was there.

"You idiot! How could you lose to Lyon of all people?" Natsu was jumping up and down with flames in his mouth. "Calm down Natsu, He's resting. Don't wake him up." Lucy was trying quite unsuccessfully to calm him down.

"Is Gray all right?" Juvia asked causing her friends to turn and smile at her.

"He's all right." Mirajane said with a smile. "Just tired." She glared at someone behind Juvia and smiled at Juvia again. When Juvia turned around not one her friends were in sight. "Oh dear, I need to go see someone now. But I can't leave Gray alone…" She smiled at Juvia again. "I know! Why don't you stay with him until he wakes up? Bye!" Mirajane walked out before Juvia could reply.

Juvia couldn't leave without someone else coming to see Gray and she had a feeling that no one would. She really needed to learn to decode the meanings of Mira's smiles

She sat down on a chair next to the bed and played with her skirt for a while. She looked at Gray's sleeping face and realized that he looked like an angel. She giggled and noticed that Gray was stirring.

Don't wake up now! She was panicking even though she could leave when Gray woke up. She shut her eyes out of fear.

"Juvia?" Gray asked. She opened her eyes very fast. He was shocked to see her there, but was happy that she had come to see him. She still cares. Gray thought.

"Hey Gray! I-I need t-to leave now." Juvia stood up with an awkward smile but Gray caught her wrist.

"Help me sit." He commanded, kindly.

She complied and propped him up on a few pillows so that he would feel comfortable.

"You got a lot stronger." Gray complimented her with a smile.

"Thank you." She gave a tiny smile. An uncomfortable silence followed.

"Gray?"

"Hmm?" Gray looked at Juvia who was playing with her hands and looking at her skirt.

"Why didn't you defend yourself from the attack?"

Gray thought about it. He didn't want to tell her the truth, but didn't want to lie either. So he said "It reminded me of something and took away my concentration."

Juvia nodded.

"You know Juvia, I missed you." Juvia was shocked. He missed me?

"And I guess that I understood that I like you more than just-"

"Please stop Gray." Gray looked at Juvia who had tears in her eyes. He wondered what he had said wrong.

"I should leave now." She left the room and Gray couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart because the girl had left with tears both the times he had spoken to her.
