Dancing.

Juvia couldn't remember the last time she'd had this much fun.

Who would've known that Gajeel would actually form a band? And that they'd actually be good. The girls of Fairy Tail were all up in front of the stage dancing with each other. It was one of the only times Makarov would allow such a thing, especially since they'd been successful on a big job that most of the guild had taken.

"Time to slow things down a bit." Gajeel's unusually smooth voice said through the microphone.

A soft melody began playing throughout the guild and people began pairing up. Mirajane took Levy and danced with her since Gajeel was occupied playing up on the stage, Natsu and Lucy lingered in the back of the room dancing secretly, leaving Juvia to stand in the middle of the room by herself.

A light tap on her shoulder caused her to spin around, finding Gray standing in front of her, a small smirk on his face and a red tint to his cheeks. He offered Juvia a hand, raising an eyebrow at her. "May I?"

Juvia's heart began racing, her own face flushed as she placed her hand in his, letting him pull her against his body. Juvia felt heat spread through her chest. She moved to wrap both arms around his neck, but he took hold of her wrist, sliding his hand up hers until their fingers laced together, his other hand resting on her waist.

Juvia blushed even further, her hand shaking slightly on Gray's shoulder. Gray led them around the room slowly and almost expertly.

"Did someone teach Gray-sama how to dance?"

"Ur thought it was pertinent that Lyon and I both knew how to dance properly." He gave a small smile, making yet another warmth spread through Juvia's chest.

The two spun about, having mindless conversation about the outrageous things that they'd seen that night.

"Did you see when that girl jumped on stage and tried to make out with Gajeel?" Gray laughed. "Elfman had to drag the poor girl away."

"Juvia didn't see that part." She admitted, holding back laughter of her own.

"How could you miss it?" Gray gaped. "It was louder than the music!"

"Juvia was too busy laughing at Levy-san's reaction and Lucy-san's comment." The water mage laughed, her head resting on Gray's shoulder.

"Excuse me." A soft voice came from Juvia's right and she looked up, staring into the dark eyes of Lyon. Juvia gasped, Gray's hand tightening around her own. "Juvia, my love, may I steal you for a dance?"

Juvia was so utterly stunned that she missed the growl that escaped from Gray. "J-Juvia is-um-" Damn this stuttering! She wanted to say that no, he could not steal her, because she was busy dancing with her Gray-sama.

Lyon reached for her hand, but Gray quickly pulled their joined hands away. "Back away, Lyon."

Lyon glared at Gray, preparing to say something to his elder, but Juvia cut him off.

"Juvia wishes to dance with Gray-sama."

Shock was prominent in Lyon's expression, his hand falling limply to his side.

Gray smiled, squeezing Juvia tighter against him. She giggled, and Gray pressed his lips to her temple.

When it came down to it, no one could compare to her Gray-sama.
