When Juvia and Gray entered the lunchroom, everyone noticed. Erza's table looked at the odd couple, with confusion and wonder. Natsu's table looked at the odd couple, with bewilderment and shock. Both of their faces were red as they walked to their table.

"Juvia, what happened? You were late to lunch, and we were worried. Now we see that you were fooling around with Gray?" Erza said, trying not to smirk.

"W-We weren't fooling around. He didn't go to lunch, so I stayed with him." Juvia's face looked so red, it could pass for a sunburn.

"Yeah. Right. I'm not stupid Juvia. It's okay if you were. Lucy and Natsu already-" Erza stopped herself, remembering they haven't told the girls yet.

"Erza, I'm serious. Gray and I didn't do anything." Juvia reassured her, hoping the boys couldn't hear the conversation the girls were having.

"Well... I believe you. I mean, if you did do something with Gray, you would be hot and sweaty, with a fire in your eyes." Erza said, laughing.

Juvia blushed, and she looked down at the bento that she made.

"Oh, Lucy. Isn't there something you would like to say to the girls?" Erza asked Lucy, almost bursting with anticipation.

Lucy sighed and said "Yes, there is. I have to tell you girls something."

"What is it?" The girls leaned in to hear what the fair haired beauty had to say.

"Natsu and I... We're a couple"

"KYAAAA! ~" The girls' screams were so loud, Erza and Lucy almost fell back out of their chairs. Then, the girls started asking questions.

"When did you start going out?"

"Is he a good kisser?"

"Does he have abs?"

Lucy laughed at all of these questions, and then answered "We started going out yesterday, yes, he's an amazing kisser, and he has abs."

'And muscles, and strong hands, and '- Lucy started to become fetish, so she quickly brought her mind back to her friends.

"So, you finally fell for the dumbass" Cana said, with a hiccup.

"Oh, Lu-chan! I'm so happy for you and Natsu!" Levy exclaimed, clasping her hands together.

Lucy smiled and said,"Well, that's not all that happened..."

Suddenly, the girls were silent. After what seemed like an hour (it was only 5 minutes), Bisca spoke.

"W-What do you mean Lucy?" She asked.

"Um... W-Well... You see..." Lucy was fumbling, trying to get the words out. After what seemed like forever, Erza shot out out of her chair.

"Ugh! You take long Lucy! I'll tell them. Lucy and Natsu slept together." Erza quickly said.

...

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ~~~~~"

This time, the girls screamed so loud, the whole lunch room looked at them. They immediately sat down and tried to calm themselves.

"Oh my God! Lucy! Really? Is it true? You slept with Natsu?" Juvia said, shocked and happy for her friend.

"Well, yes. It's true." Lucy said, putting her head down because her face was red.

"Wow Lucy! So you're no longer a virgin? How exciting." Mirajane said, her eyes sparkling.

"So you're finally a soiled dove eh? And by that hot head too." Cana piped up, looking at the boy who was arguing with Gray about his hair color.

"Oooh Lu-chan! How was it? Was it passionate and romantic? Mysterious and Exhiliarating?" Levy asked.

"Oh, it was amazing. All of the above. My adrenaline was racing, and my heart was going a million beats per second." Lucy said, her face becoming hot and flushed. "And then, when I woke up, I could feel his warm arms around me. Oh, it was a night I would never forget."

All of the girls were looking at her with happiness and smiles.

"So, I guess he already told you that he loves you." Mirajane said.

"Oh, well, he said 'Good morning my love' when we woke up." Lucy said, nonchalantly taking a bite of her ham sandwich.

"Wait. He hasn't actually said 'I love you' to you yet?" Erza said, her eyes turning red.

"Um, no." Lucy said, replying in a calm voice.

Suddenly, Erza stood up and charged to Natsu's table.

"BAKAAAAAAAAA!" Erza raised her fist and punched him in the gut. Natsu flew across the room and hit the wall.

"Erza! What was that-" Suddenly, Natsu shut his mouth as soon as he saw Erza's death glare.

"E-Erza? W-What happened?" Natsu said shakily, praying in his mind that he was too young to die.

"Go outside." Erza hissed, her teeth gritted together. Natsu got up and went outside obediently.

"Lucy, please stay here." Erza said, looking at the young girl's worried expression. Then, Erza stepped outside and cornered Natsu, her eyes looking like 2 black pools.

"Are you insane? Why haven't you told Lucy that you love her?"

"W-Well, I don't know if she feels the same way for me. I mean, she's beautiful, smart, and thoughtful. And I'm just..."

"A jackass for not telling her that you love her?" Erza finished.

"Okay. I'm stupid for not telling her. But she's out of my league. If I tell her I love her, then I'm afraid she might break up with me for moving things too fast."

"Oh yes, Natsu. You slept with Lucy, and if you tell her you love her, that's moving too fast." Erza said sarcastically. She slapped the back of his head.

Natsu rubbed the back of his head."Oh. Um, good point. But, I wanna tell her somewhere special, I-I guess. The beach, or a restaurant, or something."

"Who are you and what have you done with Natsu?" Erza asked, with a confused expression.

"I'm still Natsu, but just a bit different."

"A bit? More like a different person. Lucy has really changed you."

"Of course she has. She's changed my whole life. I would be lost without her. Yesterday when I woke up next to her, I felt like the luckiest guy in the world. No girl could ever compare to Lucy. She's perfect. I love her." As Natsu was rambling on and on, he didn't know that Gray and Juvia were right outside. Since they were late to lunch, their group decided to tease them and send them both to eavesdrop on Natsu and Erza. They were still a bit embarrassed about what happened, but they forgot about that once they heard what Natsu was saying.

"Holy crap. He's turned into a fucking wuss. What the hell is he saying? 'She's perfect. She changed my whole life.' And a whole bunch of other sappy stuff." While Gray was becoming sick with all of this love talk, Juvia was impressed.

"Oh, how romantic. That's so sweet. If only I could find a man who would say all that about me. That would be so wonderful. Gray, wouldn't it be fantastic to find your soulmate right here in high school?"

Gray turned to look at the bubbly 17 year old girl. Suddenly, he didn't know why, but when she smiled like that, his mind went blank.

"Oh. Um, y-yeah. I guess." Gray mumbled, looking down so she wouldn't see his blushing face.

"G-Gray? Are you okay? Was it something I said? I-I didn't mean anything. Um..." Juvia felt flustered and embarassed. 'How could I say that in front of Gray-s.. Gray? Oh, I made such a huge mistake.'

'Ah, shit. Now she's sad. I hate seeing girls sad. Especially her... Wait. What the fuck am I saying? I don't like this girl! Sure, she may look cute. And yeah, her eyes are really pretty. And of course she has beautiful hair, but I don't like her! She's obsessed with me! I will never like her!'

As Gray was trying to organize his thoughts, he decided to look Juvia. He regretted it immediately.

Bright, sparkling blue eyes. Hair a beautiful royal blue. A smooth, creamy complexion, and small, peach lips which covered her straight, pearl white teeth. She was tall, thin, and looked a little like an ice or water fairy or something.

The last thing he noticed was her smell. Normally, girls smell like flowers, sweets, candy. Juvia smelled like a rainforest. Right after a rainfall, and the freshness of leaves. Almost like the smell of a waterfall, gushing out cool, pure water. It smelled intoxicating.

"G-Gray?"

Suddenly, he was knocked back into reality by her voice. Her voice. A perfect, small voice, that still sounded firm and strong. He went back into a daze until Juvia touched his forehead.

"Gray? Are you ill? Should I take you to the nurse?" Juvia said, worried and anxious that she actually had the courage to put her hand up to his forehead.

"Huh? Oh. Um, n-no. It's okay. I was just... uh... thinking about something. It's nothing." Gray wanted to slap himself for acting so stupid.

"Oh, alright. I-I think maybe we should sit down now. I'm pretty sure Lucy and the girls would want to know what Natsu and Erza were talking about." Then, she quickly walked back to her table.

Gray was still dazed, because he felt Juvia's hand. 'Her hand... It was really soft... Damn..

...I think I'm falling for her.'
