"Just kidding!" Juvia laughed at his panicked expression.
Natsu glared at her. "You're mean!"
"And Natsu's gullible!" she stuck her tongue out at him.
"It's not funny!"
"It's a little funny!"
Natsu walked into the kitchen, sitting on the counter as she washed the dishes. "I though you hurt yourself, Juves."
"Natsu, even if Juvia cuts herself with the knife, her body is water so she'd be fine after a while!"
She hummed as she finished the dishes.
"Yeah, but you say it like getting hurt is no big deal."
"Natsu gets himself almost killed in every mission he goes to!" she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah, but I'm different; I'm a dragon slayer-"
"And Juvia's a Water Mage who can take care of herself." she crossed her arms, walking to stand in front of him.
"That's not what I meant." He looked up at the ceiling. "I'm just…" he chuckled "I forget you're not like Lucy."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Don't get me wrong, Lucy's my friend and I trust her to hold her own in battle; but without her keys, she has little chance of success. I've spent so much time with her, I forget not everyone has to depend on me every now and then."
"Your point?"
"I used to always be there to save Lucy; I still am, and will always be. But you don't need me for that; not really. Your whole body's a weapon and you can summon the rain if you really focus on it. I'm more like a plan B kinda thing." he gave her a hopeless grin. "I like to think you're invincible; maybe not in Erza and Gildarts's level, but still pretty high up there!"
"Juvia's not." she rolled her eyes, a smile on her face.
"Even so, you don't really need me."
She walked over to him and pulled his face down to kiss him. "Juvia will never stop needing Natsu. Maybe she doesn't need him to kick someone's butt," he shook his head at her mocking tone. "but she needs him to keep her company as she folds clothes, and so she doesn't sleep alone, and she needs someone to have dinner with."
He laughed.
"Juvia also needs you for kisses and…" she got on her tippy-toes to whisper in his ear. "Other fun stuff she likes to do."
Natsu hopped off the counter, wrapping his hands around her waist. "What kind of fun stuff?"
"Natsu know's what kind of stuff."
"Only if I get the gold controller."
"Nope!" Juvia ran off towards the living room.
"You used it last time you little-"
"Here!" She threw it at him, pulling him into another kiss as he tried to not drop it.
"Thanks Ju-"
She snatched it away with a wink. "Just kidding."
