Hey, Dark Gothic Lolita here!
I've made better timing today haha. I hope everyone's been good this last week. Mine's been more hectic than usual, but that's because I've finally decided to take my health serious. Hopefully you guys will have a healthier Lolita!
As per usual, I don't own Fairy Tail and sorry for any poor spelling and grammar!
ENJOY!

Chapter ten
Juvia was pacing up and down in the living room and Meredy and Lyon were both snacking on some crisps as they watched her do so. They found it amusing, seeing her all like this. She could sense them looking at her and she sent them both a very cold look.
"Stop grinning like that. The both of you look like creeps."
That made them grin even wider. She wasn't even looking at them, but she could feel them basking in her nervousness. They were so mean. Meredy then said three simple words that set Juvia off.
"Just calm down."
"JuSt CaLm DoWn. Was Meredy-chan calm when she went to her first dinner at the Fullbuster's?! Yeah, Juvia didn't think so!"
Lyon snickered when Juvia mimicked Meredy and the girl glowed red when she remembered that she practically wet herself at the dinner table. It wasn't really something she wanted to be reminded of.
Lyon snickered as he had to step in and mediate. "Okay, okay, no need to get at each other's necks. Juvia, stop pacing up and down, you're gonna wear down your carpet and babe, have some sympathy for her. She's going to her fake boyfriend's house to meet his parents who don't know that it's a fake relationship. All because she couldn't keep her lips to herself."
He smirked as he said that and Juvia stared at him horrified. She grabbed a cushion and came to attack him. "LYON-KUN, THAT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!"
Ding dong.
The three of them paused as they stared at the door and Meredy pushed Juvia out of the way, running down the hallway like a little child, ready to answer the door. Juvia could feel her very soul leaving her body as she didn't want to move. She glared at Lyon the moment he shoved her, but he ignored it and pointed at her to get out. She nodded and grabbed her jacket and made her way to the door.
"Oh, here she is! Have her back between tonight and tomorrow night. Maybe you guys can get together and tonight and come back after work tomor-"
"SEE YOU GUYS LATER, BYE!"
Juvia sprinted past Meredy and slammed the door in face, not even wanting her to say anything more that would embarrass the hell out of her. She huffed before turning to face Natsu and they both paused as they looked at one another. Juvia didn't know exactly how casual or smart this dinner had to be, but she wore a navy blue turtleneck, a black miniskirt with a pair of tights on her legs and black boots on her feet. She had even gotten Meredy to french plait her hair.
"Wow, you look really good."
She felt her face warm up. "Oh, thank you! Natsu doesn't look too bad himself."
"Or smell bad."
He looked amazing in his crisp white polo shirt and light brown chinos. He still had that scent on him that made it seem like he had just gotten out of the shower. His hair was fresh and it looked like he just left it to air dry. He held out his hand and she reached out for it like it was second nature. Sometimes it was really hard to forget that they weren't actually dating.
"I know you're probably nervous about tonight, but trust me, they'll love you. There's no need to worry about anything. We have our story straight, so if my mum asks you anything, don't be scared to answer. I'll be next to you the whole entire time. Also, knowing how crazy my mum is, she'll definitely pull out the baby book. I'm not ashamed, just exasperated."
Juvia couldn't help but giggle at his attempt to make her relax. It worked. She felt her shoulders loosen up and she was ready to take on the world. They got to his house and Natsu pulled out the key that he still had to the place. It was probably for times where he didn't have anything to eat and he could easily come and steal some food when his family weren't around.
"Natsu honey, that you?!"
"Yeah it's me mum!"
"Ooooh, I'm coming down!"
Natsu ushered Juvia into the living room, whispering that his dad was most likely there, which he was. The man looked up and Juvia's eyebrows popped up into her hair. They actually looked the same! It was so easy to see where Natsu had gotten his looks from. They had the same sharp eyes and pink hair. Although the man's pink hair was a little duller than Natsu's, probably from where he was going to start graying soon. She could feel herself clamming up.
"Ano, hello sir. It's so nice to meet you. Thank you for allowing Juvia to have dinner with you all."
She bowed a little bit and his dad stood up, a huge Natsu-like grin on his face. "Wow, aren't you polite! It's nice ta meetcha too! I hope your niceness rubs off on my boy here! He could do with a really nice gal like you!"
He slung his arm over Natsu, much like Natsu always did to Juvia and he grinned while Natsu elbowed him on his side.
"Get off of me, ya old man! MUM, COME AND SAVE ME!"
"I'm here, I'm here! Oh darling, don't embarrass him in front of his girlfriend! Oh my goodness, aren't you just the most beautiful girl ever?! Are you sure you want to date my son?!"
Natsu's jaw dropped as Juvia giggled. "MUM, HOW COULD YOU?"
She laughed. "Oh you know I'm just joking honey!"
Juvia smiled, feeling at ease. They were just as crazy as her family and that made her feel right at home. "It's nice to meet you, Mrs Dragneel."
"Oh please, call me Hikari. Or even mum."
She winked at Juvia and both Juvia and Natsu blushed as his parents just laughed with one another. They heard another set of footsteps coming down the stairs and it was Wendy who beamed at Juvia.
"Oh, if it isn't my sister-in-law!"
"Wendy," Natsu threatened under his breath and Juvia was immediately overwhelmed. She could see where Natsu got his liveliness from. His whole family was crazy. Honestly, she should have been used to it. Her family was the EXACT same. She doesn't wish to be caught by her mother and then drag Natsu to one of her family dinners, because she was sure her heart wouldn't be able to take it.
Natsu's dad bellowed out his laughter as they all made their way to the kitchen. Wendy had already set the table and Natsu raised an eyebrow when he saw six places at the table were laid.
"You guys expecting someone else?"
The moment those words passed through his lips, he heard the front door open and his eyes widened, before both him and Wendy shot off. Juvia stared at them before looking over at the parents who smiled simply.
"Their big brother is back. He told us not to tell them that he's coming back today. He's going to be here for Christmas! I'm so happy, he hasn't had Christmas off in a few years."
Juvia smiled when she saw the Dragneel parents grin at each other and soon, the three siblings came back into the dining room. Natsu's grin was wider than usual as he was next to his brother. Juvia noted that he got his looks from their mother and so did Wendy, although the blue hair wasn't from either parent.
"Mum, dad. It's so good to see you guys after so long."
They hugged him the moment Natsu and Wendy released him and they were all wearing grins. Juvia couldn't help but stand awkwardly. She felt like this was the wrong time to be invited to a family dinner. They were practically in the middle of a reunion!
Soon, Zeref's eyes fell on her and he looked a little surprised, before he turned a sly gaze to Natsu. Natsu caught the look and he couldn't help but look a little flustered. Juvia was just glad that she wasn't the only one feeling this way.
"Oh? Aren't you going to introduce us?"
"R-right! Juvia, this is my older brother, Zeref. Zeref this is Juvia...my girlfriend."
Wendy snorted from Zeref's left hand side as she went to her seat. She was the only one who really knew what was going on, but she dare not say anything. Natsu ignored her as Juvia smiled a little bit and bowed her head.
"It's so nice to finally meet you, Zeref-san. Juvia has heard quite a bit about you."
Zeref suddenly looked excited, as if he were happy that Natsu had chosen a girl with manners. "Oooh, she's cute too! Natsu, you've done really well!"
"Why does everyone keep saying that?" he growled out.
Wendy smirked a little bit, ready to join in with the teasing of her big brother. Natsu was a hard person to tease as he never really felt embarrassment. She wasn't going to let this moment pass her by, despite knowing that they weren't even dating. "Because you have. Juvia-chan, are you sitting next to me?"
Natsu frowned and shook his head. "She's sitting next to me."
"Um no, she'll be sitting next to me. I need to get to know my daughter-in-law after all. Come Juvia, come and sit! Wendy, get up and help me start dishing out the food! Juvia, I'm so sorry that I forgot to ask Natsu what your favourite dish is. I hope my dinner will be up to your standards?"
Juvia nodded as she sat down. Natsu's dad was sat down at the head of the table and guessing from the position of where Juvia herself was sitting, Natsu's mum was going to sit at the other head of the table.
"Juvia is sure that whatever Hikari-san makes will be absolutely delicious."
The woman beamed and Natsu's family laughed. Their mum loved it when her cooking was complimented.
"Mum, Juvia made the perfect hottest meal for me the other day. She used a scotch bonnet."
Natsu's dad perked up. "A scotch bonnet? What's that?"
Zeref spoke. "It's like a bell pepper but a lot smaller and a lot hotter. It's so hot that it practically shrivels itself up! I'm surprised you've never had it dad."
The man shrugged as he held his plate out for Wendy to fill with food. "You know your mother doesn't like hot food. Still, you must really have feelings for my son if you're cooking for him already."
Hikari nodded in agreement. "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. That saying has rung true when it comes to my son and my bonehead husband."
"Hey! But you love me!"
"I do honey."
They shared a kiss and the four of them turned away, with the siblings pretending to vomit at how nauseous their parents were making them. Natsu turned his head to Juvia to apologise for the scene and found that Juvia was looking directly at him. She blushed at the fact that she was caught, but it just made Natsu grin at her as he held her hand underneath the table.
Her fried nerves calmed down immediately, it was magical. The power that Natsu had on her, she wondered if he felt the same way. He must do to an extent, right? She tried to think back to all the minimal times that they had hung out in the past and tried to think whether or not he was this touchy feely with Lucy, or if he was only this way with her.
Soon enough, everyone was sat at the table, laughing and eating before the questions started being asked.
"So Juvia, how did you and Natsu meet?"
This was a very simple question to answer and Juvia was more than happy to answer it. "Ano, we met through Gray. Juvia went to the same university as Gray and Lyon-kun and we had a huge hangout back in the first year of university. We weren't really close, but we got close because of work."
Hikari nodded, impressed. "So you guys now work at the same company? Same department?"
The bluenette shook her head. "Oh no. Same company yes, but Juvia works in sales."
"Nice. I hope Natsu's been treating you well?"
Juvia beamed and nodded her head at Kasai. Natsu was right, it was so easy to lie when there's the element of truth in it. "Yes sir! Natsu treats Juvia in the best way possible. We also like introducing each other to our hobbies. Juvia got Natsu to ice skate."
Wendy's jaw dropped. "Shut. UP! No way did you get Natsu to skate! WE should go skating too!"
Natsu groaned at his sister, but she expertly ignored him and Juvia smiled and rolled her eyes at Natsu's behaviour. Zeref watched in amusement.
"We should! Natsu has already invited Juvia to Wendy's next competition. Juvia would really like to see Wendy-chan in action."
The girl blushed and nodded, getting out her calendar on her phone. "I'll get the date of my next meet and hopefully you'll be able to make it. I would love to have you there!"
Juvia smiled happily and Natsu couldn't help but smile because of it. She slotted right in with his family and it looked like she really belonged there. He knew that she was nervous, because he was nervous as hell too. It didn't matter though, he knew his family would love her.
"So if you took Natsu skating, I'm guessing he took you to a sumo match?" Zeref asked curiously. He had known of his crush on Lucy, who just so happened to be his girlfriend's cousin, but she wasn't a fan of most things that Natsu did. Sure, she appreciated that they were his hobbies and as a best friend she would never knock him down for it, but she herself couldn't get into it. He also knew his brother bent over backwards to do the things she liked but it was never reciprocated.
Juvia turned to face Zeref, an excited gaze in her eyes. "Yes! It was amazing! Juvia tried her best to learn some of the rules beforehand so that she wouldn't bother Natsu during the match, but Natsu still helped Juvia out anyway. The guy that Juvia was watching on lacrimatube to try and learn the sport was the same guy we went to go and see! It was amazing, Juvia would love to go to more matches."
Hikari grabbed Juvia's hand, her eyes shining like stars. It was the same for Kasai and Natsu wanted to die from embarrassment. His parents were freaks sometimes.
"Natsu, you MUST marry this girl! We're a sumo family here you see, so any girl who loves sumo is loved by us. Aww, I hope the two of you never break up!"
Juvia blushed deeply before turning to face Natsu. They both had the same expression on their face. Embarrassment laced with worry. They were both fucked.
~x~
After dinner, everyone headed to the living room to watch a film. Juvia was dragged into it and she was shocked that she was invited to do so. She thought that she would only be here for dinner, but they clearly weren't done with her. Even Natsu was looking a little worried.
"Guys, don't forget we have work in the morning."
"And I'm sure that just one movie won't hurt. Besides, Juvia lives down the road! Oh, but you are NOT to stay around her place young man! You guys need to keep the boundaries, you're not married yet!"
The two of them blushed deeply as they couldn't believe what she was insinuating. That was the last thing that they were going to be doing together!
They just followed the rest of the family into the living room, while Zeref was loading up the dishwasher. Juvia took one look at the set up of the living room and she felt herself panic. Where was she going to sit?!
Natsu's parents sat on the loveseat, Wendy took the beanbag and Zeref was probably going to take the single seater. There was another loveseat that everyone was definitely thinking that they would take.
Natsu sat down on it and patted the space next to him. They made eye contact with each other, and Juvia could instantly tell that Natsu was trying his best to comfort her yet again. It was working, because soon enough, she was sitting right by his side. She needed to stop being so nervous, it wasn't fair to him.
Everyone was grinning at them and Natsu leaned over to whisper in her ear, "ignore them. They're just super happy to see me with a girlfriend. I'll make it up to you, I promise."
Juvia gave him a confused look. "Make it up to Juvia? For what, why?"
"I didn't mean for you to get roped into meeting my family while we're lying. I know you're not comfortable."
Juvia reached out for his hand and smiled as she squeezed it. "It's okay. Juvia doesn't mind it at all, and your family is really nice. But thank you."
Zeref came back into the room as they found a film channel to watch. Four of them screamed that they wanted to watch the dragon chronicles and Juvia found herself rolling her eyes with a smile. She found it hilarious that the siblings plus their dad was eager to watch it.
Hikari gave Juvia an apologetic look. "We're all big fans in this house as you can see. Sorry in advance if you don't enjoy it."
"It's fine, Hikari-san. We're all fanatics in Juvia's house too."
Natsu lit up as he spoke to his mum. "Juvia has a water dragon tattoo! It was her older brother who did mine!"
Wendy gasped and clapped her hands as the rest of the family looked intrigued. Juvia ended up rolling up her sleeve for them all to marvel at it. "I want the air dragon tattoo! Can your brother do it?"
Juvia laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "Juvia doesn't see why not."
Wendy had stars in her eyes. "Your older brother is so cool, doing tattoos and stuff! Meanwhile, both of mine are useless."
Zeref threw a cushion at the back of her head and Natsu threw one at her face as she pouted at the both of them. Juvia laughed and Natsu put his arm around her shoulders. Juvia bit her lip as she looked up at him. He wasn't looking at her, but he wore an easy grin on his face, almost as if he were really happy that she was here. She decided to live in the moment and lean into him. She didn't know whether or not she would get this chance again with him.
Half way during the movie, Natsu's hand started running up and down Juvia's arm gently. Her breath was caught in her throat as she sucked in a deep breath, but she made sure to not grab anyone's attention.
"You alright there?" Natsu whispered softly under his breath. Juvia nodded quickly in response, not trusting herself to speak. She knew that she would end up saying something that would embarrass her.
"Relax," he practically hissed out into her ear.
"Juvia was until Natsu started doing this!"
"You've been so tense since I put my arm around you. You want me to pull my arm back?"
"Juvia has?"
"No, it's fine. Juvia didn't realise she was so tense. Sorry."
Natsu chuckled lightly. "It's cool. I don't wanna make you uncomfortable."
Juvia found herself relaxing as she smiled. "Natsu could never make Juvia feel uncomfortable." Her shoulders laxed, leaning her head on his shoulder. Her breath came out in puffs against his neck and she felt him shiver as she chuckled. She felt like he was more in her presence. She could smell him now and his body heat was coming off in waves as she felt herself relaxing even more.
"Juvia's feelings are so strong now."
~x~
"It was lovely to meet you Juvia!"
"Juvia is happy that she got to meet you guys too! Thank you for such a wonderful meal."
Hikari awwed before hugging the girl. Kasai raised his hand in a wave as he pointed at his son who had made his way to Juvia's side.
"You guys look cute together. Don't be a stranger, y'hear? Hikari will pop up at your front door if she feels like it's been too long since she last saw ya. Sorry you have to put up with ma son, but thank you for takin' 'im off our hands!"
Juvia giggled and nodded her head as Natsu gave his dad the bird. "Juvia is happy to take Natsu off of your hands. Juvia will make sure not to leave it too long so that Hikari-san comes to hunt her down. Goodnight! Goodnight Wendy-chan, Zeref."
The siblings waved and Wendy made sure to get the older woman's number so that she could text her herself about her figure skating competitions. Natsu rolled his eyes, but even Juvia could see the joy in his eyes when he saw her getting close to his family.
Natsu walked Juvia back to her house. They stopped on her doorstep and Juvia turned around to face her crush. He was grinning down at her and she smiled back at him, feeling a little shy. She was used to being close to Natsu, but tonight was on a whole different level. Arms around her waist, brushing her arms and even her thighs at some point. She was ready to combust at the memory.
"Thank you for inviting Juvia tonight. Juvia had a lot of fun meeting Natsu's family and having dinner with them."
She watched as Natsu grinned at her and shook his head. "Nah, thank you for coming. I can imagine that you musta been pacing about before I came to get you earlier."
Juvia's jaw dropped as she looked at him. "How did you know that?!"
Natsu laughed. "I heard you guys screaming and shouting when I came to get ya."
Juvia hit his arm lightly and pouted. "Juvia was just so worried! Juvia didn't know if she would be able to lie and hide the fact that we're not dating from Natsu's parents! But we were natural, huh?"
"Damn straight. We were so good at acting that I completely forgot that we're not actually dating! But I told you that they will love you. I mean, I do. Who wouldn't love ya?"
Juvia immediately turned red. She wasn't expecting that at all and she didn't know what to say. She thought that maybe he would correct himself and say something else, but he didn't. He looked at her almost expectantly, as if waiting for her to reply to that. She did what she did best and acted like it didn't affect her.
"Hmm, Juvia would say that Gray doesn't feel the same way that Natsu feels."
"Idiot, why mention him?!"
They both laughed out into the night. "Yeah well, we're not the same. Like I'm way better at everything than he is. I'm also way hotter than him."
His voice dropped a few octaves as he stood closer to her. Sometimes, she couldn't believe how tall Natsu was compared to her. His voice sent a shiver down her spine, but if anyone asked, she was ready to say that it was the night time chill that made her shiver. He made his voice deep and ripple through her at will and she hated how much power he had over her.
"Oh is that so? Hmm, Juvia isn't so sure she can see it."
They were always teasing each other. Sometimes though, Juvia wasn't too sure if it would get the both of them in trouble. What they were doing right now was getting really dangerous, because she wasn't sure if they were playing now or if they were being deadly serious. The sexual tension was crazy.
"Well that's because you left your glasses on the desk at work. Maybe when you get them on you'll see just how hot I am. Right now you can probably only see 25% of my hotness potential."
Juvia giggled at his cockiness as he shot her a smirk. "Wow, Natsu's ego is bigger than his love for the Dragon Chronicles."
He smirked and shrugged at her as if it were no big deal. "Go big or go home."
"Natsu's right, he should go home. It's getting late and we've got work in the morning. But seriously, thank you."
Her heart couldn't stop pounding. The citrus smell of his shower gel had mixed in with his cologne and it had controlled her olfactory for the whole night. She found herself almost leaning in just to sniff him.
She watched as Natsu's hand came up to her hair and she almost smacked his hand away, thinking that he was going to do what Gajeel always does which is ruffle her hair. However, he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and sighed out of his nose, giving her a grin.
"You're amazing, you know that? Thanks for going along for this crazy shit and now even being forced to meet my parents. Even for doing the project with me and being my friend. Thank you."
Juvia smiled in confusion. "Not like Juvia's complaining or anything, but what's brought this on? Juvia feels like there's something more that Natsu isn't telling her."
He chuckled and moved his hand away from her head. "Nah, it's fine. I just wanna show you my appreciation. But you should go inside. I'm not leaving until you're in."
Juvia nodded and tip toed up. She placed a kiss close to the corner of his mouth, her lips lingering a bit longer than the usual kisses that she had given him before. She was pretty sure she had seen Lucy kiss Natsu's cheek, so hopefully he saw it in a friendly kind of way. So far, he probably did because he wasn't turning her away for doing it. It was funny that it was the kiss on the cheek that got them in this situation in the first place.
"See you tomorrow, Natsu. Get home safe," she whispered.
"Yeah...see ya...now go!"
Juvia laughed as she nodded and opened the door. She waved at Natsu once again before heading inside and closing it behind her. She couldn't help but lean on the door, smiling as she felt giddy. She then rolled her eyes when she looked and saw Meredy peeking her head from the top of the stairs before she ran down to her.
"So come on! Tell me! How did it go? What happened? You were gone for quite a while. Don't tell me that when you finished dinner at his parents' house that you went back to his place and-"
"NO! Nothing like that happened! We started watching a film and played a few games! It's a thing they do whenever they have dinner together as a full family. Juvia got to experience it with them. It was fun. Juvia is still innocent, don't worry."
"Aww, Juvia. My poor baby. I bet you almost shat yourself with all the nerves."
Juvia rolled her eyes at her friend with a smile. "Lyon-kun's gone home?"
"Yep, he has. Ultear-senpai has him doing his own project tomorrow, so he wanted to go home early and sleep. I can just feel that she's going to work him to the bone."
They both giggled as they headed upstairs. Juvia was going to take a shower and get ready for bed. She was exhausted. She had mentally drained herself from worrying and stressing over whether Natsu's parents would like her or not and now that the adrenaline had left her, she could really feel how much her energy had been depleted by.
"Ultear-senpai is a slave driver to her brothers. Juvia guesses that's why Gray didn't want to work at the same company where she's a manager. Juvia does miss her though."
"Yeah, why did you end up going to the one you're at now? Please don't tell me it was because of Gray."
Meredy had a pleading look in her eyes, as if to tell Juvia not to say it, but the moment Juvia looked away was the moment Meredy sighed with disappointment.
"I should have known."
Juvia felt like she needed to argue her case. "To be fair, Juvia did want to work there. They're just as good there. But yes, Juvia did go mainly for Gray, even though she knew she wouldn't even get to see him anyway. We aren't in the same department as we didn't even study the same things in university. It's fine though. Juvia has finally stopped pining over him and Juvia...Juvia likes Natsu now."
She glowed when she said that. It was sometimes so hard to believe that her feelings had really shifted over to Natsu. Definitely no one would expect it as Natsu and Gray are so different. Despite them hanging out the whole time, anyone who knew Juvia would be surprised if she told them she liked Natsu. Good friends were all they had ever shown to everyone, not a potential girlfriend and boyfriend situation.
Meredy smiled softly at her friend, happy that she had found someone that she likes. "You should ask him out."
Juvia gave her a panicked look. "What? And Juvia should embarrass herself?! Been there, done that, it's not fun."
Her friend crossed her arms. "You had no problem asking Gray out like every day for three years straight."
"Exactly, and look where that got Juvia. Two years on and we're not dating and Gray even forgot that Juvia works at the same company as him. Juvia will not be doing that again."
Meredy rubbed at her temples and Juvia knew that she was making this difficult, but she just couldn't get hurt again. Ever since Gray had told her a year ago that him and Lucy were dating and that she should back off (he was drunk, so she let the rudeness slide), Juvia had pretty much sworn herself off of love. It wasn't for her and she clearly had a lot of maturing to do before she should get in a relationship. Sure she found men passing by her attractive, but she hadn't actively liked anyone. Well, that was until Natsu came into her life..
"Juvia, you shouldn't be afraid. You're different now, at least when you ask him out it will pretty much be a one time thing, right? It's not like you're a love struck puppy now and you won't badger him. You'll respect his wishes. But that's only if he says no and I'm 100% certain that he's going to say yes."
Juvia sighed, standing in front of the bathroom. "Juvia appreciates what Meredy-chan is saying, but Meredy-chan is a marriage counselor, not a love expert. Juvia wants to believe what Meredy-chan is saying but...she's nothing special. Why would Natsu go for her?"
She wanted to believe it, she really did. But yes of being put down by guys, being called creepy and gloomy and people being frightened of her really does knock down a person's confidence. She might be different now, but old habits die hard and she was pretty self-deprecating at times.
Meredy stepped forward and hugged her best friend. Juvia hugged her back, feeling like it had been too long since they did something like this, despite having Sue round just last week to have a catch up.
"It's annoying, because no matter what I say, you never believe me! I want you to know that any guy who has you in their life is lucky and I bet Natsu knows that too. Trust me, if you're not going to ask him out, I have a feeling that he'll do it."
"That would be great, but Juvia knows he's still trying to get over Lucy-chan. Juvia will at least give him some time."
Meredy sighed, but was otherwise happy with her response. She understood that at least. "Well if you say so then. I'll leave you to go and shower. I love you."
It was something they said every night before they went to bed, as if they were sisters. They might as well be, they knew each other inside and out and their families loved each other.
"Juvia loves Meredy-chan too."
"Should Juvia ask out Natsu-san? Juvia will maybe wait and see."
So, how was that chapter? I hope it was what you guys were expecting! Loads of you guys have been waiting for this sinner scene and here you go! We don't really have any names for Natsu's parents, so I made them up. Pretty basic but oh well. I didn't want to use Igneel in this case.
Loads of you guys are also after my head lmao. I know I'm taking this story a little too slowly for your liking, but that's the beauty of it! I love seeing you guys squirm at the fluff and boil at how long it's taking them to get together.
Please don't forget to rate or hate, flames or floods! Much love to everyone, make sure to keep clean, safe and sane!
Lolita-chan
