This song is from last year and when it was released it was called "a stalker song" and for good reason. This is Markus Schultz featuring Ana Diaz, Nothing Without Me. Google it and give it a listen!


At one point in time, Gray had considered giving Juvia a formal rejection.

It wasn't that he didn't think she was pretty (she was gorgeous), or that he had another girl he like (he did think Lucy was cute, but the flame-haired idiot had dibs on her and you could cut their mutual romantic tension with a knife.) He was attracted to her, and yet repelled all at the same time in some ways,

It's because she could be downright scary.


They were in a corner of the guild when he told her.

"Juvia, I'm sorry. I just don't see you like that. I cannot accept your love."

"Gray-sama...?" The looked of pained confusion on her face hit him like a punch to the gut.

He looked away, gritting his teeth. He'd made this decision for both of their own sakes. He needed normalcy, and she needed to learn better socialization skills before she had a real relationship.

"I don't love you, Juvia," he said, probably lying to both of them at once. "I never will."

Thunder rumbled in the distance. Her eyes had glazed over. Her joyful grin, the grin that she reserved just for him, faded into the cool mask she had worn as one of the Elemental Four.

"Juvia hears the words from Gray-sama," she said softly, and Gray felt a huge aura of magical power building up around her. "But Juvia does not understand them."

Too late Gray realized that he was being targeted in her Water Lock.

"Shit, Juvia," he said, struggling to escape. He attempted to freeze the bubble of water, but she had gotten stronger since the first time they had battled, and his attempts were futile.

"All Juvia is," she said, her voice calm and deadly, "all that Juvia knows... is now hanging by the thinnest thread."

He felt a shiver run up his spine.

"If Gray-sama leaves, Juvia might as well be gone too. Be dead."

She peered close to the Water Lock bubble, and then opened it up with her hands, her body turning to water as she merged with it. Gray was still unable to move, but she grabbed his chin with one impossibly strong water hand.

"Juvia, don't do this," he pleaded.

"Juvia can be bad," she reminded him, and pinched his cheek so hard that Gray knew there would be a bruise later. "Juvia is the waterfall in your head. Juvia will never leave you alone."

She embraced him, her watery body somehow solid and firm within the prison where she held him.

"Juvia, snap out of it," he cried, struggling against the unearthly hug.

"Gray-sama knows we belong together. We are only strong together." The hug abruptly ended, as did the Water Lock, and Gray was dumped unceremoniously on the guild floor. He landed in a graceless puddle, rubbing his lower back. Juvia, however, remained as a towering monstress of water, as if the ocean itself had taken form to vent its wrath upon him.

He was speechless as she grew in volume, her watery body filling the volume of the guild, washing away all the Fairy Tail members who had been around him.

"If Gray-sama runs," she said ominously, "he'll be on the run forever. Juvia will haunt your mind forever."

Gray was floating away, drowning, as the suicidal flood Juvia had created in her rage reached a crescendo.

"You are nothing without me!"


"Ack!"

Gray screamed as he woke up from the nap where he had dozed off on the table. The rest of the guild looked at him in surprise; he usually didn't have nightmares when he napped in public.

"Gray-sama?" a gentle voice said beside him, and there was Juvia, back to normal, her face wreathed in concern. "Is everything all right?"

He stared at her dully for a moment. This mild and meek woman was nothing like the monster his sub-conscious had conjured up.

The brief thoughts he had entertained of giving her a formal rejection fled. He couldn't hurt her like that. He was her first love, for whatever bloody reason she had fallen for him, and he felt obligated to at least respect her feelings.

Their mouths had been creeping closer, and he studied her features – smooth skin, little bow mouth, lovely almond shaped eyes, and that hair which was currently styled the way he liked it best, flowing down her shoulders in gentle waves. She was beautiful, and her lips hung partly open, revealing her pearl white teeth. He wondered what those lips might taste like.

I will haunt your mind forever. You are nothing without me.

No, that wasn't Juvia of Fairy Tail. That had been Juvia of Phantom Lord.

Juvia of Fairy Tail was kind, gentle. Still strong, still terrifying to her enemies.

But most of all Juvia loved Gray, and if he rejected her, she would accept it even though it broke her heart.

Rejection was the farthest thing from his mind as he leaned in closer, fascinated by the faint shimmer on her lips. Chapstick? Would she taste like berries? Or warm and salty, like the ocean?

"Juvia," he murmured, and only when he realized how quiet the guild had grown did he remember that they were still in public. He froze.

"Kiss her!" someone (who sounded suspiciously like Erza) yelled from the back of the room, immediately killing the mood. Gray flushed red and scooted a few feet away. Juvia, too, looked away shyly, but her flaming red face indicated that her mind was filled with dozens of impure fantasies.

No, Gray decided with a sigh and a faint resigned smile toward the beautiful water mage. There was no way he could reject her.

After all, that would imply that he didn't love her back, terrifying stalker personality and all.
