Gray groaned in bed, whispering the whole time he was asleep. "I will... kill... Zeref... Natsu... Silver..." Juvia had ignored it all with a worried face. Ur had to sleep because Juvia demanded she needed rest. Natsuki was right beside Gray, holding his hand.
Natsuki had listened to every little whisper he said, hoping that it would help. So far she mainly heard Zeref, himself, and Silver mentioned. She grit her teeth. "I feel so useless.."
Juvia turned to her worried. "Natsuki..." she sighed. "I can't just watch him take after his father! I just know Zeref is responsible for this" Juvia walked over to Natsuki and hugged her.
"You're not the only one to feel like that... Remember what you told Juvia when we had trouble with Lyon"
"Juvia, your concern for them comes to the point where you become a nuisance. If you know that they need space, give it to them"
"Juvia was really shocked to have someone really say it to her. No one has ever told Juvia so it gave Juvia quiet a shock" Juvia smiled at Natsuki. "She want to thank you for that"
Natsuki hugged her back with a huge grin on her face. "That was just a guess I took" Juvia nodded understanding.
"But Natsuki, you do realize that after your kiss with Gray-sama, the spreading of the tatoo has slowed down. Thank you! Juvia bets you did something to help!" Juvia put her hands to her chest.
Natsuki sweat dropped and blushed. "You don't say... I guess you could say it was the power if love!" She said with a glint in her eyes. Juvia laughed and lightly punched her. "Don't play, Juvia's trying to be serious"
"Better try harder" Natsuki stuck her tongue out. "Natsuki, you're such a tease" Juvia pouted. Natsuki blushed at that. "What are you trying to say?"
Juvia questions the blush but thought about what she said. • • • "Kya! That's not what Juvia meant!" Juvia stood up.
Natsuki laughed and turned to Gray. "That's fine" Juvia stared at Natsuki's hurt face and took her hand. "Natsuki, can you make Gray-sama happy?"
Natsuki turns to Juvia in shock. "Juvia?" Juvia had tears in her eyes. Natsuki smiled and wiped the tears. "If I wanted to; Yes"
Juvia sniffles and replied, "What do you mean by that?" Natsuki slapped Juvia's cheek lightly. "You will soon find out..."
Juvia giggled and wiped the rest of the tears. "Sorry for asking such a personal question" Natsuki grinned. "I see nothing wrong with it"
"Oh... and I want to apologize about something" Natsuki blushed and looked aside.
Juvia titled her head in confusion. "What would that be?" Natsuki closed her eyes and shouted, "I-uhm- I-I'm sorry for seeing Gray naked!"
Juvia blinked. Naked. Naked? Gray-sama naked. Natsuki saw... Gray-sama naked?!
"Ehhhhhh?!" Juvia looked at Natsu with wide eyes and a blushing face. "N-N-Na-Natsuki, s-s-saw Gray-sama n-naked!?" Natsuki turned away nodding. Hiding her flushed face.
"J-J-Juvia will kill you!" She brought up her hands and grabbed the nearest object to her, a vase. Natsuki put her hands up in defense. "O-Oye, it just a coinsedense that he was the shower when I went in"
I'm such a fucking liar! Juvia pouted as she put the vase down. "Did you touch him?" she whispered. Natsuki shook he head, nervous. "Have you never seen Gray completely naked? Even with his stripping habit?"
Juvia shook her head. "No, Juvia had almost did at the beach, but Lyon had pulled Juvia away before she could see. Then there was that one time Juvia came over his house and tried seducing him. Juvia had took off his shirt and pants, but he had fell asleep"
Natsuki gawked at Juvia. "You tried seducing him?!" Juvia smirked and nodded. Natsuki pouted. "Cheater..."
Juvia giggled an leaned over to Natsuki's ear. "Then how about when he wakes up... then pull... he will surely... after that... then finish off by calling him..." Natsuki blushed red. "Are you sure?"
Juvia gave her a thumbs up. Natsuki stratched the back of her head nervous. "Yosh! I'm all fired up!" She put her hands up excited.
Juvia smiled. "Natsuki, can Juvia ask you something?" Natsuki turns to Juvia and nodded. Juvia breathed in and swallowed. "A-are you, maybe, Natsu-san?"
Natsuki's eyes widened. She probably told Ur! No way, how'd she find out?! And so quickly! "W-w-what are you talking about? I know no one called Natsu, who would name someone after a season. That's ridiculous. Hahahahahaha!"
Juvia sighed. "Says the girl with the name 'Natsu-ki'" Natsuki sweat dropped. "You have a point..." Juvia stated at Natsuki carefully. "...Yeah, I just didn't want to rush it. Gray is such an idiot not being able to tell it's me..."
Juvia hugged her again. "Juvia's so happy to have you back, Natsu-san..." she sighed. Natsuki gripped her arm and shivered. "You won't tell, right?"
Juvia nodded. Natsuki sighed and jumped on Juvia. "Thank you so much! For everything!" Juvia grunted and laughed. "Yeah, Juvia wants to thank you as well"
"Would you mind if I call you Juvi again?" Natsuki said rubbing her face in Juvia's boobs. Juvia blushed and answered, "Y-yeah... Kyaa! Natsu-san, not there!"
Natsuki questioned the cry and looked at her hand. It had groped her thigh. Natsuki backed away with a face of shame. "My bad!"
Juvia stood up and walked out. "It's fine..." She practically ran out. Natsuki slapped herself for having make Juvia leave.
After a while of slapping herself, Natsuki stared at Gray again. Natsuki smirked as an idea came to her head.
She standed up and walked over to the bed Gray laid in, and started the get on a cuddle. If Gray doesn't like me, I'll just force the feeling to come out.
She held his hand, snuggled into his chest, made him wrap an arm around her waist, and his legs caught hers and tangled.
Natsuki smiled to herself and relaxed herself. "Good night my stripping idiot..." Natsuki muttered while dozing off into sleep.
"Natsu-san..." Juvia sighed as she walked down the hall. "Ever since Natsu-san's been here, all Juvia has seen him do was create smiles" Juvia smiled to herself.
"Stupid stripper!" Natsu stuck his tongue out to Gray. Gray laughed and punched him.
"Uwaa! This looks awesome thanks Ur" Natsuki grinned. Ur smiled and hugged her. "Anything for you, you adorable Sakura-chan"
"Ultear, can you mind telling me why you wear these clothes?!" Natsuki shouted while pulling on the dress. Ultear turned over to Natsuki, she smirks. "Because it easy to run with out having something pulling at me, you were just fighting with it so I see you had no problem"
"Lyon, you pervert" Natsuki slapped Lyon as he woke up. Lyon grunted and laughed. "I already explained it was an accident"
"Juvi, thank you so much!" Natsuki smiled.
Juvia sighed again. "Gray-sama, Juvia hopes that Natsu-san will give you pure happiness" "Well, who else do you expect to make him to feel that way?" Ur walked towards Juvia with a beer can in her hand.
"Juvia never actually expected anyone to do it... except from you" Juvia smiled sympathetic. Ur cringed. "What are you trying to say with that? Did you want me to marry him?"
Juvia gasped and turned red. "No not at all. Juvia just wanted Ur-okasama to stay close to him, you know, Mother ideal" Ur balled her hands and shouted at Juvia. "Juvia! You know I can not replace Mika! I never tried nor will I ever!"
"Juvia knows that, but still him not having anyone to support him is unbearable! That's why right when Juvia met Natsu-san and made Gray-sama laugh and smile, it was a shock. Juvia hasn't seen Gray-sama smile like that since that day. For Juvia to accept their love is unavoidable, so she can do is help Natsu-san capture Gray-sama's heart once more" Juvia cried.
Ur frowned and patted Juvia's head. "We all will do our best to support them, well maybe not all of us..." Juvia looked up confused. "What does Ur-okasama mean?"
Ur turned away awkwardly. "Well I hardly believe that Lyon would support it that much" Juvia was still confused. "Why would Lyon-sama not support it too much?" Ur scratched the back of her head. "Well..."
"What was her name?" Lyon smiled, groaning in bed. Ur chuckled. "Natsuki Dragion" Lyon stared at the ceiling and chuckled. "Natsuki, huh. What a pretty name"
"Don't tell you fell for her, too?" Ur rolled her eyes. "Idiot, I still love Juvia, but I can say that I'm interested in Natsuki than normal women. And her abilities also surpasses Juvia's, amazing" Lyon sighed.
Ur leaned her head on her hand and hummed. "She is a keeper isn't she" Lyon turned away embarrassed and nodded. Ur smirked and tackled Lyon. "Awww! My little boys are so grown up!" "Ack, Ur! You're hurting me!" Lyon grunted.
"... Lets just say that Lyon has his own thoughts about Natsuki, but not Natsu" Ur explained. Juvia sighed happily. "Well that's okay too, Juvia guesses"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SLEEPING NEXT TO ME?!" a shout was heard throughout the house. Ultear was heard groaning, Lyon in the room laughed, Ur and Juvia sighed. "YOU'RE GOING TO BLAME ME?!" another cry was heard.
Both Juvia and Ur walk in to see Gray against the wall with a face of disgust, with Natsuki pouting and shouting. "Who else do you want me to blame?!" Gray yelled. Natsuki stood up and glared at Juvia for a sec, then faced Gray once more. "Never mind, I'm wasting my time with you. Ur, is Lyon better?"
Ur flinched and nodded. "Good, I wanna invite him some where to eat" Natsuki grins. Gray felt as though he had been stabbed as she said that. Juvia frowned and pulled on Natsuki's arm before she could walk out.
"Why would you care about Lyon-sama when some one else was the main objective?" She hid her face with her bangs. Natsuki sighed and took her hand. "Juvia, answer me this; will you support me with him?"
Juvia nodded letting tears fall. Natsuki ruffled her hair and walked out while saying, "Then trust me on this"
"LYON! Squinty-eyed bastard! Stripper's brother! Cold-ass-fuck idiot! Come with me somewhere! I need to confess something!" Natsuki shouted waiting for a reply.
First, she heard a thump upstairs. Did he just fall? Then, rustle of clothes. After, the steps became louder as he walked down the stairs. "Fine, I might as well go with you. It just happens to be the time I go out for a walk"
"Lyon-sama, you don't go out for walks?" Juvia told him. He froze for a couple of seconds and reverted back, nervous. "Juvia-chan, you were never in my presence when I did" Gray walked out of the room buttoning his shirt. "No, maybe not her, but I've been with you for most of my life and I was the main one to leave the house"
A vein popped out of Lyon's forehead. "Let's just go Natsuki-chan" Natsuki sweat dropped. "Yeah, but first I need to ask Ultear something" She ran upstairs.
Lyon walked over to Gray, pulling his collar. "What the hell was that?!" Gray stared at Lyon coldly. "I see nothing wrong in telling the truth" Lyon glared. "Speak your mind out when people care, okay!"
"I don't want to hear that from you!" Gray glared. Lyon snickered. "Of course, I get it now. You're jealous Natsuki-chan is going on a date with me instead of you" Gray blushed and barked back, "O-Of course not. Who would fall for that pink-haired, tomboyish, reckless, and unattractive woman?!"
"Who the hell are you calling a pink-haired, tomboyish, reckless, and unattractive woman, ne Gray~?" Natsuki growled. Both Lyon and Gray flinch. "N-Ne, Natsuki-chan you wouldn't think of going out with a boy like Gray, right?" Lyon questioned.
Gray stared at Natsuki's face change from furious to flushed. "W-What nonsense?! Let's just go Lyon" Natsuki hid her flushed face and took Lyon's arm and raced out the house. "Wait, Natsuki!" Gray reached out. Wait, what was I going to ask her just now?
"Argggg! I'm such an idiot!" Gray yelled. Juvia and Ur sighed as they watched Gray. "Go Natsu-san" Juvia whispered. Ur walked over to Gray. "Don't tell me you have an interest in her?" Ur smirked.
Gray blushed and looked aside. "Maybe..." Ur blinked for a while. Maybe... "Ehhhhh?! For real?!"
