"I win again!"
"Whatever, I'll win next round."
"That's what you said ten rounds ago."
"Shut up!"
Gray brought the game back to the character selection menu and began looking for whomever was going to whoop Juvia's butt next. They were playing Street Fighter V on the videogame console at his house for the weekend, and Juvia had never played before. Gray had never been the type to take it easy on beginners (everyone could thank Levy for that; she had learned the combos in five seconds and then proceeded to execute them with cruel efficiency the first time she played, and he vowed to never underestimate a rookie again).
Juvia chose a different character that she was better with and killed him in the first round, but Gray won both rounds after that with a grain of salt. He gloated, never being one for modesty in victory either.
"Hah! That's what, my twentieth win today? In a row?"
Juvia tossed her controller aside, truly done with Gray's attitude instead of the game. "You're such a jackass when it comes to games." she pointed out.
Gray shrugged. "What can I say? I'm competitive."
"If by 'competitive' you mean 'a total jackass,' then you're right." Juvia picked up her phone and started to play Candy Crush.
Gray went onto story mode. Juvia spent the night.
Juvia lost her phone somewhere in the house the next day and asked him to call it. It rang for a while before he finally found it under the couch. He was relieved to have found it because Juvia was beginning to get a bit anxious, but his relief halted as soon as he saw the screen.
"Haah?"
The phone, still ringing, read "Jackass" with his phone number right beneath it. There was no mistake.
His contact was "Jackass."
"Really, Juvs?"
As soon as Juvia saw what he was so pissed off about, she laughed.
"Well, you're a jackass. I think I've found my nickname for you," She said with a pensive look on her face, like she was seriously considering it. Gray knew that she was.
"Wait, I'm sorry about the game! I didn't really mean it!"
Juvia mimicked his typical shrug, a coy smile on her face. "That's what you get for being a jackass."
