Disclaimer: I Don't own Fairy Tail


Juvia is back to her old habits again: stalking. Not Gray-sama, but Natsu-san. Juvia is trying to figure out Natsu-san's daily schedule. Juvia has the perfect plan to get back at Natsu-san for sending Mira-san that embarrassing photo, she gave Juvia lots of trouble. Juvia will invade Natsu-san's house when he is not there and find dirt on him. It's been four days since Natsu came back from his quest, and a week since Juvia's fishing trip. Juvia used up the time to think of the perfect plan to find Natsu-san's secret.

Juvia was hiding in a bush near Natsu-san's house. Juvia made sure to mask her scent with local berries smothered against her skin, she soaked her clothes in the juices too. Then Juvia sprayed water lightly on her body to dilute the scent. Natsu-san should be coming out soon. Natsu-san starts his day at eight. Juvia made sure she wasn't sticking out.

Natsu-san finally came out! Juvia was off by five minutes, but that's why Juvia is stalking him for a few days to get enough sample data. Happy-san bursts out of the door a few seconds later, carrying a fish wrapped with a ribbon. For Carla Juvia bets.

"Happy! Let's see if there are any good quests for us today."

"Aye sir!" Juiva's hope rose, if they find a quest, Juvia won't need to stalk them.

"Let's go!" Natsu-san ran past the sign that he made—which Juvia finds cute—and towards the guild. What Natsu-san doesn't know is that Juvia is with them. It should take them fifteen minutes to arrive. Juvia will follow them through the river, that'll allow Juvia to arrive faster than Natsu-san and give her time to mask her scent.

The bustling of the street will cancel Natsu-san's great hearing. Juvia is now walking towards a perfume shop five minutes before Juvia's target arrives. Juvia already changed her clothes to something less flashy: a pearl jumper with murky green Capri trousers. Juvia also put on a grey beanie along with a black, silk scarf to hide her hair.


After walking pass many busy stores ran by charming owners, Juvia reached her destination. Juvia walked into the perfume store and headed to the flora section. Bottles of perfume ranging from blue to red were arranged into an expensive rainbow. Seeing the slow transition from colour to colour still surprises Juvia of how there is so many types. Juvia picked up a bottle of pink liquid labelled: Peach Blossom. Juvia went with that because some girls at Fairy Tail uses the same scent and because there wasn't much time.

As Juvia made her way to the guild, she put on the perfume—just a light coating. When Juvia made it to the guild, Natsu-san wasn't there yet. Juvia gave her greetings to a couple of people and hid behind a pillar that had lots of people around the tables placed near it. Ahh! Natsu-san and Happy-san is here! Juvia will make you regret making an enemy of Juvia Lockser, Natsu-san.

"Good morning!" Natsu-san voice echoed throughout the guild. Followed by a thunder of noises, Juvia smiled at the liveliness of the guild. Natsu-san scanned through the hall, Juvia hid. Natsu-san then started to walk in Juvia-san direction! He spotted Juvia!? How? "Gildarts! Fight with me!" Ohhh…it's just Gildarts-san, Juvia panicked for no reason. Juvia should have more confidence as a stalker. Wait…it that sad?

"Again Natsu? Can't you see I'm talking to Master?"

"Who cares? It's probably just about women anyway." Natsu-san really isn't interested in women huh? His face looks bored and uninterested. What a shame.

"What do you mean 'just'? Women are great! Just look at Mira and tell me what you think of her."

"Just fight me." Natsu-san whined.

"I know! Natsu, win against Erza, and I'll fight you."

"Really?" The light came back into Natsu-san's eyes.

"It's a promise between men."

"Alright! I'm fired up now!" Natsu-san was already talking out loud about how he should fight Gildarts-san, Juvia's got a bad feeling about this.

"Hey flame brain!" Gray-sama's voice and he's half naked! Juvia's heart is racing, not as fast as it used to… "Why don't you just give up on beating Erza, you can't even beat me."

"What? I beat you before."

"You just got lucky!"

"Is that right? Happy! How many times have I won against Gray?"

"Ummm…out of the thousand times you two fought," That many times? "Natsu won fifty times." Natsu-san has a smug grin right, Gray-sama is still composed. "But, Gray also beat Natsu fifty times, the rest were draws or Erza stopped the fight." Natsu-san and Gray-sama butted heads at once.

"Hear that? We should settle the score."

"Just what I wanted! You're going down stripper." Natsu-san sent Gray-sama flying. Resulting in a series of chain reactions. First, Gray-sama crashed into Elfman-san who was talking to Jet-san. Elfman-san got enraged, transformed, knocked many people over. Second, Gray-sama sent Natsu-san into another crowd of people, pissing them off for ruining their meals. Finally, Juvia couldn't see who did it but, someone knocked over Erza-san cake. Which reminded Juvia she has to bake a cake for Erza-san.

This is how Natsu-san starts his day. Around one, Natsu-san will get lunch. Until then, Juvia has to dodge the flying bodies coming Juvia's way.


Only the strong remained of the brawl, thankfully Gajeel-kun isn't here so we have one less problem. Natsu-san and Gray-sama was standing on top of a pile of unconscious guild members. Erza-san and Mira-san was picking up the more injured ones to the infirmary. Gildarts-san and Master were…still talking about women. Juvia heard every! Single! Word! Dirty old men…

"Today is the day you go down!"

"Not so fast flame brain! You can barely stand right?"

"And I thought you had something to say. It turned out you're trying to back out from the fight."

"Never in your life!" Juvia wanted to warn Gray-sama a-and Natsu-san of Erza-san that was climbing up the mountain of bodies but, that would give Juvia away. Did someone just say 'Step on me more'? Juvia's skin is crawling.

"That's enough! What did I say about fighting?" The rivals paled seeing the red demon in front of them. Natsu-san and Gray-sama placed an arm over each other and started dancing.

"We're not f—fighting right Natsu?"

"A—aye!"

"I see," Erza-san believes that!? "Well, as punishment for causing this, both of you can't eat lunch until everyone has woken up."

"Noooo!" Natsu-san wailed. Stalking Natsu-san has been so much fun!


Today is the day! Juvia will invade Natsu-san house and find that dirt. Natsu-san just now left his house. Even though Juvia is at Fairy Hills, Juvia has a complete grasp on Natsu-san schedule. Natsu-san will stay at the guild for at least seven hours, nine if a fight happens between Gray-sama. Gray-sama, Juvia is counting on you. Juvia rushed out of the house with one goal in mind: make Natsu-san pay.

Sneaking past Natsu-san was an easy task, Juvia wore nothing but clothes with camouflage patterns on it plus, her scent was masked. Now facing Natsu-san house, Juvia got nervous. This is the first time Juvia visited a boy's house. Gray-sama always locks his windows and bars his doors so Juvia couldn't get in. Gray-sama even blocked his chimney! Juvia was half-way done with her tunnel…wait, this doesn't matter.

Just according to Juvia's plan, Natsu-san door swung open easily. What is this!? So messy! What did Natsu-san do to make this house so messy? Juvia can't see the floor, it was covered with plastic bags, paper scraps, clothes and fish bones. The walls weren't any better, stains were everywhere…was that blood? Juvia's intincts to clean kicked in, it's the least Juvia could do with how much Natsu-san has helped Juvia. P—plus it makes it easier to find dirt on Natsu-san. And Juvia's quest to clean began.

Just before Juvia started, Juvia spotted the only place that looked maintained regularly, a billboard on the side of a wall with a table underneath it. Curiosity took over, Juvia walked over to examine the spot. A bunch of quest requests were stuck on the billboard labelled with messages of the adventures Natsu-san had with his friends. On the table, it was filled with curious trinkets and random things that didn't make sense to Juvia until she read the labels. A warm, bubbly feeling rose from deep inside Juvia, Natsu-san really cherishes his friends… What's that doing here?

On the table, was the two photos of Juvia, framed and labelled 'Fishing with Juvia.'. So that's why Natsu-san took those photos. It's wasn't for a stupid prank, Juvia was wrong about Natsu-san, she should apologize to Natsu-san. With renewed vigor, Juvia started to use her magic and whisk every piece of junk away. A whirlpool carried away the trash, Juvia made sure not to touch any of the things that were a part of Natsu-san's memories. All the objects are gone, now Juvia just has to clean up the stains. Juvia filled a bucket with water and got to work, grabbing a rag that someone used for cleaning. Juvia has no idea who but is grateful for aiding Juvia's job.

Cleaning the walls took the most time, as most of the stains were soaked by the walls. Even after cleaning it, Juvia can still see faint marks of where the eyesores used to be. Natsu-san will have to paint it if he wants them gone. The floor was made of glossy wood, so the mess came off rather easily compared to the floor. By the time Juvia was done, golden rays were shining through the windows. Juvia lost track of time again! Sunset is here, how troublesome, at least Natsu-san won't come here for another couple of hours. Ahh! Juvia is tired, stupid Natsu-san for making Juvia clean up his mess. Juvia found a hammock while cleaning. Natsu-san wouldn't mind Juvia sleeping on it right?

Juvia climbed into the hammock, it was her first time sleeping on one, so it took some time to stop the wobbling. Once Juvia got comfortable however, she noticed a few things. It was a faint smell, the same smell Juvia noticed when Juvia was on Natsu-san's back. A combinations of different tree smoke wafted into Juvia's nose. Subtle, yet inviting. Another thing Juvia picked up was how soothing it felt to sleep on one of these. Juvia just might take a nap here. Just a short one…yeah…


Night fell over Magnolia when Juvia woke up, she let out a yawn and stretched. Natsu-san isn't back yet? Still an hour left. Then, Juvia will cook for Natsu-san. Juvia started a little hum as she bounced off the hammock and made her way to the kitchen.

When cleaning, Juvia was surprised to find a complete kitchen. Now, she was thankful for it—only the fridge looks used though. Swinging the door open, Juvia was delighted to find lots of ingredients, vegetables, fruits, meat—lots of the vegetables looks like the ones Lisanna-san and Mira-san grew and gave away. Time of get cooking! Juvia will impress Natsu-san with this. Shame that there isn't an apron…Ahh! The maid outfit Lucy-san wore for a quest, thank you love rival!

Should Juvia wear the entire thing or just the apron? Learning from last time's blunder, Juvia decided to save time by just wearing the apron and got to work.

Half-way through the cooking, Juvia remembered why she came in here in the first place: to get back at Natsu! However, looking back at the things Juvia cleaned up, there was nothing Juvia could use! Everything was too wholesome! And the ones that can be used are nothing but trash and junk that has no particular meaning to it. It was when Juvia was cooking a steak when Juvia figured out a compromise: to be a bit cheeky with the cooking! So Juvia reached for a huge pile of mint…

"I'm back!" Natsu-san voice! Juvia left the kitchen along with the finished food and made her way to Natsu-san.

"Natsu, why do say that anyway? No one else lives here."

"It's a habit. Back when me and Lisanna played house, I would greet her with 'I'm back!' and she would say—"

"Welcome back!" Juvia shouted, bowing a little. Juvia always wanted to say that! Juvia expected to say it to Gray-sama and not Natsu-san but...this doesn't feel too bad either.

"J—Juvia!?"

"Why are you here?" Happy-san asked.

"Juvia was planning to find some dark secret on Natsu-san to get back for the picture but ended up cleaning up and cooking diner as well." Juvia lied, hoping he won't notice.

"Juvia, could it be you're an…idiot?" Happy-san covered his mouth while stifling a laugh. Juvia blasted Happy-san out of the house with a torrent of water. At least Juvia's cover wasn't blown.

"Juvia was a fool for thinking you would be thankful."

"Sorry." The soaking cat said. Juvia smiled seeing the cat regret his actions.

"As long you're really sorry, Juvia will let you eat."

"But Juvia you really didn't need to do all of this for us." Natsu-san interrupted. "Just cleaning the house must've been a hassle, Lucy gave me an earful."

"So Lucy-san cleaned the house before Juvia…"

"Yeah why?"

"N—nothing! Anyway, let eat." Juvia dragged Natsu-san to the plates of meat, vegetables and other things Juvia cooked. Did Juvia go overboard?

"You cooked all this by yourself?" Natsu-san's mouth is watering, huge success.

"Thank you Juvia-sama! Natsu-san torched my fish on the way back."

"Let's eat before the food gets cold, don't waste Juvia's efforts."

""Aye sir!""

"""Thanks for the food!""" Juvia didn't eat yet, she was anxious to hear Natsu-san and Happy-san opinions.

"Delicious!" "So good!"

"Juvia's glad you liked it." Now relieved, Juvia started to eat, being very careful not to land in the landmine Juvia made for Natsu.

"But still, I'm surprised you made this from the stuff in the fridge."

"Natsu-san what do you normally do with the food?"

"Eat them raw. The meat, I roast them, that's it."

"That's so plain!"

"That's why I eat at the guild." Natsu said, just missing a meatball mint bomb.

"Then how do you still have room?"

"I fought the ice princess before coming back."

"Who won?"

"I did of—"

"Erza stopped the fight." Happy-san interrupted.

"Hey! I was winning."

"Juvia, you should've seen it, Natsu looked so scared when Erza arrived."

"I was not!"

"You were!"

"Was not!"

"Liar!" Juvia has come to enjoy their antics, it's so absurd.

"Juvia, what's wrong?"

"Hmm?"

"You got a weird smile on." Juvia didn't realise it until Happy-san pointed it out. Juvia was resting her head on her hand and smiled at the two. How embarrassing!

"W—well…that's right! You two can have some of Juvia's food, Juvia is already full." Juvia laughed dryly, hoping they'll buy it and move on.

"Juvia is the best!"

"Aye!"

Juvia hasn't had this much fun in a while…what should Juvia do…about Gray-sama? Just then, Natsu put a bomb in his mouth. He instantly recoiled at the intensity of the herb, throwing himself back on the chair, sending it along with himself to the ground. Natsu proceed to roll around the floor in agony. Seeing the pain Natsu was in, Juvia felt really bad, so she rushed to cradle his head in Juvia's arms and tried to comfort him in what way Juvia could.

"Sorry, Juvia was trying to get back at you for the picture you took. Please forgive Juvia"

"Man that was strong!" Natsu held his hand over his mouth, not wanting to breathe through his mouth or drink water.

"Sorry…Juvia didn't think that…sorry…Juvia will leave." Natsu grabbed Juvia's wrists, holding Juvia in place.

"It's fine…I had worse."

"But still! Juvia did something so horrible."

"Don't worry too much about it. Besides, if you leave, how am I supposed to tell what else is dangerous? Stay."

"If you're fine with it…" Nothing else happened after that, Juvia removed all the bombs and even eating one herself as an apology—the worst decision of Juvia's life. No matter how many times Juvia said sorry, Natsu brushed it aside and said that Juvia was forgiven. Though Juvia knows that, Natsu won't be a big fan of the smell of concentrated mint from now on. Or regular mint for that matter


Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! This one was super fun to write. I have a chance to focus on description but couldn't do too much since it's a first-person story. Unless the character is a poet, I really wouldn't use too much romantic words and phrases, only simple words.

One thing I hope you guys would notice and help me with is whether the slow transition of Juvia's feeling is subtle enough. I didn't write Juvia blushing much since Juvia wouldn't really notice if she blushes or not unless it's really serious. If you want, put in your own imagination and put in blushes according to what you think is appropriate.

Finally, I hope I maintained Juvia's quirky character, if I ever stray a bit, please tell me.

Again, thank you for reading, I look forward to your feedback!
