Gray and Natsu sat quietly next to each other at a table with Erza, Lucy, Levy, and Wendy.
"Did you two finally get tired of hitting each other?" Erza asked from their lack of fighting.
"You could say that." Gray stated. Natsu laughed.
"Meaning..." Erza pressed on.
"What do you mean?" Natsu asked in confusion.
Erza sighed.
"Nevermind, at least you're quiet for once."
Once the girls turned to talk with Levy, their hands intertwined under the table, and taking a brief look around, Gray kissed Natsu's forehead. He giggled and ran his thumb across Gray's knuckles. Lucy glanced back in time to see Natsu plant a kiss on Gray's cheek. She smiled and whispered to Erza, who glanced back with her. They watched to boys repeat a few times before Juvia burst into the guild. The two boys jumped away from each other and Natsu hurried to the other side of the bench before Juvia tackled them both. Fortunately for Natsu, Gray was the only one tackled to the floor by the water mage.
"Hi, Juvia. Is something wrong?"
"No, I just couldn't wait to see my darling Gray~" She answered in a sing-song tone. Natsu glared slightly, and the girls seemed to notice.
"Well, can you get off?"
She pouted, but did as her 'darling' asked.
"Do you think we could go on a mission today, my darling?"
"No, Natsu and I are going on one later today."
"Can I come with you?"
Gray glanced at Natsu. Judging by Natsu's face, that was a 'no'.
"Sorry, Juvia, but this is a mission for the two of us. Maybe next time."
Natsu's glare diminished and Juvia sighed with her head down.
"Alright, Juvia will wait until your next mission. When are you leaving, so I can wave Natsu-san and Gray-sama off?"
"A few hours. Come on, Natsu, we have packing to do!"
"Okay!"
Natsu and Gray ran out of the door together; smiling widely as they went.
"Don't tell me Erza and I were the only ones who saw Natsu and Gray's interactions before Juvia came in?" Lucy asked the guild with a laugh. hey shook their heads and smiled at the door.
"You know what they say," Levy started. "Opposites attract."
"But why would they hide it from us?" Bisca asked.
"Who knows? But whatever, they'll tell us when they're ready. Then we can tease them about how we'd known for however long." Cana stated.
"What are you talking about?" Juvia asked suspiciously.
"How were Natsu-san and Gray-sama 'interacting while I was away?"
"Easy!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Hand holding under the table, and sneaking kisses in the guild."
Juvia then fainted.
"J-Juvia, are you alright?!"
Levy, Wendy, Mira, and Lucy rushed over while the others snickered. Juvia just laid on the ground, muttering 'gray-sama' 'natsu-san' and 'love rival'.
