Update 13-04-2017

When Juvia woke up for the fourth time since she had started her stay with Natsu, Natsu was lying flat on his back next to her in the bed she had been sharing with him for the last four days now; she had started to getting accustomed to waking up with a man next to her in bed again.

She looked over to the pink haired male that was laying flat on his back right now. She let her eyes roam over his body as he silently snored away; his slightly tanned skin rippled over those muscles with every little movement, his chest slowly raise and fell again with every breath he took. As she lowered her eyes to his boxers, that were concealed by the blankets though, she noticed something making a small tent in the blankets. That was when she realised that it was his morning wood standing up. She blushed but knew that this was only natural with guys; Bora had gotten them before too.

She tore her eyes away and reminded herself once more that this body wasn't meant for her and she couldn't possibly fall in love with Natsu. For he was still in love with his former wife; Juvia still reminded what he had said when he had that fever. He had hugged her close and whispered 'I love you' with the name of his wife right after.

But she had to stop pondering about all this. She would never have a chance with him either way. She didn't even have special feelings other than friendship for her pink haired friend. She got up and silently went downstairs. Once she was downstairs, she found Happy watching TV and said "Good Morning. Is Happy-kun hungry?"

Happy nodded firmly and Juvia looked at the clock. It was almost noon already.

She decided that she would make a small brunch for the three of them as she looked into the fridge and found eggs and bacon.

Natsu slowly woke up to the scent of eggs and bacon and sleepily made his way downstairs, practically sleepwalking. When he arrived in the kitchen, he found Happy eating toast with eggs and bacon and Juvia standing in front of the stove finishing the last of the eggs and bacon. He noticed a plate set out for him with eggs, bacon and toast, accompanied by his 'World's best dad' mug filled with coffee. He smiled and said "You really went all out."

"Juvia guessed she could at least make the two of you a nice brunch as a thanks for letting Juvia stay here," she said.

"Don't worry about that. You can stay here for as long as you want," Natsu said as he started stuffing his mouth with the food "This is really good!"

After they ate, Juvia told the two of them "Juvia will be needing to leave for her house today again guys."

"What!" they both yelled in unison. They had started to get accustomed to having a female accompagnion in their house and lives to make everything just that little bit easier. But now she was leaving again!?

"You can't just leave us alone Juvi-nee!" Happy told her and Juvia just answered him "Juvia has to. Juvia needs to get everything up and runnng for the company by Monday. And seeing it is now Saturday, she will need to rush to get everything ready in time already." she explained and watched Happy's smile drop "Don't worry. Happy-kun still has Natsu-san to care for him. Natsu-san has always been doing a good job taking care of you so Happy-kun shouldn't be sad. Juvia will come and visit from time to time," she said as she started seeking her stuff together to leave. Natsu, for a weird reason, felt his heart crumble.

Had he fallen in love with her after all?

She said "Well, goodbye then. I'll see you at work Monday Natsu-san." as she took her bag and left. And when Natsu heard the door close again, his smile dropped and he got up from the kitchen table "I'm going to sleep some more." he informed Happy as he made his way upstairs.

For just one moment, Juvia had hoped for a sign; a sign that Natsu loved her, that he'd stop her from leaving and tried to have her stay at his place for some longer. But he didn't. Her heart sank down in her shoes but she looked up again and smiled, like she had done so many times before; even when she was still with Bora. She was really Happy that starting Tuesday, she would officially be divorced from that asshole, he had done nothing but make her life a living hell for as long as her pregnancy had started.

Happy had noticed in the blink of an eye how Natsu had felt about Juvia leaving and knew that his dad could use all the comfort Happy could possibly give him right now so the little blue haired boy sneaked up the stairs and creaked open the door to his father's bedroom. He saw the form of his father concealed by the blankets and walked into the room. He closed the door again and climbed on top of the bed.

Happy lifted the blankets and revealed Natsu's face, tears dried on his cheeks and new ones in his eyes already. Happy used his thumb to brush the tears away and then kissed his father's cheeks. This was what Natsu always did to Happy when he was crying. Natsu looked into his son's eyes and smiled, muttering a soft "I love you" to the blue haired boy before pulling him into his chest.

Happy managed to turn around in the grip of his father and look him in the eyes "What's wrong daddy?" the innocent boy asked. He had no idea how it could hurt to love someone you shouldn't love; to love someone that couldn't possibly return your love because you ruined her relationship with her husband and her kids, to love someone that you could never even let know how you felt because you were too scared for rejection. It hurt, a lot.

"It seems you were right all along buddy. I did like Juvia after all." Natsu told his son whom's face lit up. "That isn't a moment to be crying then right. Being in love is supposed to be a happy thing, right?" Happy asked. "It is, but love is very complicated Happy. To be happy you sometimes need to shed tears first. You wouldn't understand, you're too young." Natsu explained Happy who nodded in understanding and just snuggled up against his father's chest to comfort him.

Soon the two of them had fallen asleep, curled up against each other and didn't wake up again until way past noon; deciding it was too late to go out and do something so just watching TV on the couch instead.

Even though it hurt that his love would never be returned to him by Juvia, he would always have his own son to return his love equally.
