Chapter 13:
Tears and Feelings...
Gray was sitting on the edge of a bed located in a dark room that displayed the lights of the town from a window half-covered by a curtain. The thin ray of light was projected into his eyes which were looking at the outside wishing that he could be there. Outside.
Usually the sound of trickling water helped him in calming down. However, it seemed now to add to the ants in his pants. The boy sighed and his hand went through his hair tousling it and wondered if anyone can envy him for his current situation. He was in a girl's room. His girlfriend's room with his 'girlfriend' currently showering to prepare for what seemed to be the next activity which was going to take place on the bed that Gray was sitting on. Yes. Some men would kill to be in his place in the company of a very beautiful and sexually attractive woman.
When he asked Juvia to have sex with him, he wasn't sure that the girl would accept after being such a jackass with her earlier. However, he still seemed to be unaware of how much Juvia loved him and it added up to the guilt he was currently feeling.
He really wanted to see it for himself. He wanted to see the cut and dried truth. If it is sexual desires he longs for, then it should be satisfied with Juvia and not a boy, and Natsu for that matter. The reason of his anxiety wasn't because he was about to have sex with Juvia. It was because of the horror that will follow this action if it disappointed Gray's perspective of positive results. This is it. This is how he clarifies for himself all sorts of feelings and frustration that he has been suffering from for the past month. And it was the Fullbuster way mind you. Gray has his own way of solving his problems, effectively.
The water sound stopped and Gray's heart seemed to calm down when it was supposed to be jumping out of his rib cage.
The blue-haired girl came out into the dark room and sat slowly next to Gray.
Gray could feel and hear her heart. He wasn't Natsu with a super hearing sense, but he could tell that she was obviously happy and nervous at the same time. Gray slowly looked to the side and saw her blushing and hot face, her flawless white skin the was glowing in the dark with redness and beauty, and her clenched hands on top of her hips. She was just wrapped in the showering towel and she, obviously, didn't see the need of wearing any clothes.
He almost chuckled at how she was extremely nervous. She was always attacking him with hugs without his permission, and yet, she was expecting him to make his move first. Was it lack of self-confidence? Was it anxiety? He didn't know, but it was… in a way, cute. Girls, after all, are cute beings.
He reached out and almost patted her hair, but her slight flinch stopped him for a second, then he smiled and patted her head slowly.
"Relax." He spoke in a very soothing voice. The kind of voice which Juvia had imagined from her many, many fantasies.
She nodded, but he still could feel her trembling under his touch. "Juvia… If you are not ready for this-"
She shook her head interrupting him. "Juvia… feels so happy that her heart can give up any minute. Juvia wanted Gray-Sama for a long time. Juvia… can't believe it."
Gray suddenly felt a bang in his heart. He should be happy hearing those honest sincere words. Why did he feel so guilty and cruel? He told her he had someone in mind. He was honest with her, but still, she was giving him all her heart, and all of her existence without an atom of regret which amazed him. He couldn't imagine anyone doing that for him other than her. Even if he tried to imagine Natsu being his partner (assuming that Gray likes him), would Natsu give Gray that much dedication?
No. Gray didn't think so. And he was a fool to feel things for anyone other than Juvia who gave her all.
"Juvia… If this doesn't work out… would you hate me for it?" He asked feeling nervous.
There was silence, and he couldn't feel her trembling anymore. Suddenly he found himself pinned to the bed on his back and soft delicate lips were pressed on his ones. His eyes widened in shock, then she pulled back with a huge blush on her cheeks.
"Juvia… will never hate Gray-Sama. She can't, Gray-Sama." Then she slowly backed away, feeling suddenly sheepish.
Gray's eyes were still looking at the dark ceiling and somehow… He felt he was in trouble.
Natsu's eyes fluttered open. He groaned because of the light that came into them, then he tried to look around, but found his neck in an unbelievable pain. He was after all, sleeping on a couch.
"Shit." He got up slowly rubbing his eyes, "How long was I asleep?"
He expected an answer, but when none came, he raised a confused eyebrow. "Gray?"
Natsu removed the blanket on top of him slowly, then walked in the house, searching for his friend who seemed to not be there. He was confused. It was very late at night. Where could he possibly be?
Natsu went to the kitchen to get some water… and he didn't know why, but… his heart felt so heavy all of a sudden.
He shrugged. Feeling that he couldn't sleep anymore, Natsu decided to wait and see if Gray will show up.
Gray sat on Juvia's bed tangled in the sheets that covered his lower half while Juvia sat on the wooden floor, her bare chest covered with a portion of her bed sheets. Both had their bangs covering their faces. No one could tell what were they thinking.
"I screwed up big time, didn't I?" Gray's cold voice was clear.
Juvia looked up with sad eyes, then got up and sat next to Gray. Her gentle hands patting his back. Gray felt angry.
"Stop treating me this way Juvia. Stop it, and I might feel a little less guilty."
Juvia smiled then hugged him. She could feel his hot tears on her bare breasts and was glad that he held onto her more.
"I am sorry… I really am…" His face gotten deeper into her chest, finally cracking and Juvia's own eyes teared up. Never once she did see or hear Gray crying. Gray-Sama is one of the most powerful wizards she had ever seen. No matter what happened, he would stand up all high and mighty, but now it was different. Juvia then knew how much of a friend she meant to Gray. His guilt and love for her as a comrade pushed him to the end of his rope.
"Gray-sama… I am not mad. Juvia is sad yes, but… she understands." Her lips quivered and more tears rolled down while Gray's hold on her tightened. He never wanted to let go. He was scared that he might lose her.
"Juvia will always love Gray-sama. Always."
Both of the magic users sat in Juvia's living room, with their clothes on. Gray's shirt was missing as usual, and Juvia settled for a night dress. She was making a hot drink for them. The light was out, and only a few sweet-smelling candles lit up the room creating a soft relaxing atmosphere that Gray needed for a long time now.
Gray was in front of the fire chimney sitting on a sofa when she came holding a tray with cups filled with green tea.
"Thanks Juvia."
She smiled and kissed his forehead then sat on the floor leaning happily on his legs. "Juvia never got the chance to be this close from Gray-Sama before. Friendship is the best."
"So what? We weren't friends before?" he grunted and caressed her cheek gently.
"Hmm, We were friends. But not as close as Gray-Sama is with Lucy, Erza and…" She stopped for a minute then smiled, "Natsu-San."
"I beg you. Stop knuckle-sandwiching it into my face." He sighed.
She kissed his fingers then snuggled closer to his leg like a little cat. Gray reached to grab the cup and took a few sips.
"So… when did Gray-Sama begin to like Natsu-San?"
Gray swallowed then returned the cup to the tray on the small table. His face looked thoughtful for a moment then he shrugged. "I don't know. In fact, until hours ago I wasn't sure that I even did. And-"
"Gray-Sama." Juvia stopped him and he looked at her surprised by the scolding tone. "Juvia can see that you care for him. If not, you wouldn't be feeling this way. Juvia knows that you don't want to hurt him, but that doesn't mean you have to deny your feelings for him."
Gray smiled and leaned down to kiss her cheek. "I must be a really horrible person for not falling in love with you Juvia."
"Kyaa! That's what Juvia imagined Gray-Sama would say in her fantasies everyday!" She blushed heavily and Gray sweat dropped. But he had to admit, he could get used to having someone by his side. He never imagined it to be Juvia. If anyone, he imagined Lucy for that role. And he hated himself because he never knew Juvia that well before.
She asked again, "So when are you planning on telling him?"
Gray again took a few sips then returned the cup. "Oh, not now. Not ever."
She looked surprised. "Why not?"
He rubbed his forehead feeling some headache forming. Must be the want for sleep.
"Juvia… I nearly destroyed everything we had. I hurt you so, so bad. I don't want to repeat the same mistake again."
Juvia blinked then held Gray's hands tighter. "It's true that Juvia is so sad now, but Juvia is glad that she finally got an answer. When Juvia came to Gray-Sama's house today and found Natsu-San with you, sleeping so soundly, she thought 'Ah, they look so nice together' as friends of course, but now, knowing that Gray-Sama likes Natsu-San that way, I think Natsu-San would be able to understand like Juvia. He would-"
"No Juvia. He's nothing like you. I don't know if he can 'Understand' fully what he means to me. So I will not risk it."
"Gray-Sama-"
"Nah-uh-" He placed a finger on her lips stopping what she was going to say, "-I will not risk it."
Juvia looked at Gray with hopeless eyes and Gray returned to drink his tea, almost feeling the tears returning to his eyes.
"Gray-Sama, how long do you think you can run away like that?" She asked pouting.
He huffed and rubbed his forehead looking at the soft fire that was burning in front of him. "I honestly don't know. I don't think I can hold on much longer. Just… thinking about his smile… about his dumbness, everything. It makes me lose my self-control slowly, and I need a solution."
"Waaii~ Juvia likes seeing Gray-Sama's caring and loving face!" She rubbed her cheek with his hands and he laughed.
"Man, you are one crazy girl."
"No. Juvia just loves Gray-Sama."
Gray smiled and leaned down slowly, then kissed her lips softly turning her cheeks into a dark shade of red. "I am sorry Juvia."
She pouted, then smacked his forehead. "Gray-Sama. You should stop doing that to Juvia or Juvia will not let you go that easily."
Gray nodded and backed up. "I probably should bounce now. It's getting so late." He stood and gently patted her hair then went to put his shirt on and grabbed his keys.
"Goodnight, Gray-Sama."
"Um, Juvia." He started, "I am… always here. I know I am one lousy boyfriend, but let's be good friends. It's not like I will bite if you come to talk to me."
She stood up and hugged him then nodded. "There was this cake shop… Juvia wants Gray-Sama to taste from it because it makes super awesome cakes. Will you go with me someday? Friend to friend?"
He smiled and hugged her back. "Sure, why not?"
"Promise?" She asked suspiciously.
"I promise." He sounded sincere.
"Okay. I'll leave you for now." Her smile was wide with happiness then she let go already missing Gray's warmth and so-manly tempting scent.
"Goodnight Juvia."
She waved goodbye to him and watched until he was not in her sight anymore. A wistful smile was placed on her face and she went inside her house going to the bed to sleep, but before she does, a few more tears fell on the cushion, tearing her heart apart from pain.
"Gray-Sama…"
The black-haired boy saw the light on his way home coming from the guild, and was curious. He didn't see any harm done if he took a look inside. Pushing the doors open, he found Mirajane reading a book and a few guild members playing cards. He went to speak to Mirajane.
"Good evening. What's up? Why didn't you go home?" He asked.
"Hello Gray. I was just out of ideas for the dare haircuts. None of the male guild members are giving me enough inspiration."
"Mira… You creep them out." He sweat dropped at the girl's statement.
"But… This time I am sure it'll be amazing! I just need someone brave for it."
"Good luck with that-"
"Gray."
This was bad. Gray could feel the dark aura consuming him, and Mirajane's cuteness didn't help one bit.
"Pleaaaaaaaaaase?!" She clasped her hands giving him her big puppy eyes.
"Mira… You're not good at doing male haircuts. Give it a break, alright?"
"Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?! I swear I will make it up to you if I screw up."
"Alright, how?" He inquired with amusement on his face for seeing flustered Mirajane.
"Um… I dunno! What do you want?" She asked with an embarrassed blush on her face.
He thought about it for a minute, then shrugged. "I dunno either. But if you screwed up, then you owe me something in return. And you'll do it whenever I ask you to, so do we have a deal?"
Mira almost cried when she saw Gray's dark evil eyes that screamed 'Deal-with-the-devil' but she was so out of inspiration models and Gray seemed to be her only solution at the moment.
"Ok, fine. But leave mine and sister's body out of this deal."
"Gah! Why would I need both of your bodies?! That's plain low."
"Really? Ok! Deal! And I won't screw up, you'll see! I'll make you Magnolia's hottest prince."
"It's just a haircut…" He sweat dropped again.
"Not just a haircut! It's Mirajane's ultimate haircut!"
"Fine, fine. Just tell me when do we start?"
"Tomorrow, whenever you are free. I am here all day."
"Then after I finish work with the magazine, I will come."
Mirajane looked at him suspicious, "Be brave and show up or else." And gave him a smile that crept him out.
"Sheesh, I am no coward, I WILL show up."
"Yaaay! I did it!" She clapped her hands happily and he smiled.
"Come on, I will walk you home."
"Thank you, Gray."
"Most welcome, my lady."
"Oh, you're very polite today. Something good happened?"
He shrugged. "Let's say I am happy I cleared up something for myself."
"Alright. Magnolia's hottest prince, let's gooooo!"
"We're still not sure about that." He smirked when she took his arm acting as the princess.
"Have faith Gray. Have faith."
Natsu woke up the next day suffering from the same pain in the neck and cursed himself for dozing off on the couch, again. He stretched noticing that it was morning already, and heard some noise in the kitchen. He crept from behind the couch to see Gray cooking breakfast.
He stretched one more time and got up removing the blanket from on top of his body.
"Why didn't you wake me up? This couch is a neck-killer." Natsu groaned rounding his neck trying to get rid of the stiffness.
Gray turned around and gave him one mocking look. "We have to talk. Go to the bathroom and do your thing while I'm done with this."
Natsu shrugged. "Ok. Oh! By the way, where were you last night?"
"None of your business." Gray replied without even looking.
"Che. Grumpy bastard."
He went to the bathroom quickly before Gray could throw the heated pan on top of his face.
Natsu washed his face, then shrugged and placed his whole head under the faucet. He trembled a little when cold water ran through his locks of pink hair, but he began to enjoy it a while later. After about five minutes he pulled back and dried himself then went to change his clothes. Sally would pull his hair out if he found Natsu coming to work with clothes that seemed to be coming out from a dog's mouth. Natsu huffed and put on simple dark jeans and a red t-shirt and headed out where Gray placed the plates of the morning meal on the dining table. Natsu couldn't help but to notice something strange about his friend today.
"What are you doing? Hurry up, we have to work today, remember?" Gray called and Natsu walked to sit and eat.
Gray sat down and watched the idiot eating for a while, then took a deep breath. "I have something to tell you."
Natsu grunted. "Like we have time for a chat. Our asses are on fire, remember?" Natsu mocked and continued eating.
"No, this won't take long, just hear me while you're eating."
"Ok, talk." Natsu nodded and took a bite of the toast in front of him.
"I need you to get your home back from Gildarts and get out of my house by tomorrow."
Natsu coughed a few times suffering from the piece of bread that got caught in his lungs. After he drank water and settled that issue, he squeezed his lips shut for a moment, then raised his eyebrows questioning the matter. "Any particular reason?"
Gray shook his head. "No. I'm sick of you staying here. I don't think I can take it any longer." Gray was sick of seeing Natsu everyday trapped with him in the same house, and not being able to do anything (Mainly, to touch him, kiss him, hug him, etc.) He was losing self-control and he wanted to get power over his desires again which was so damn difficult with Natsu waltzing around.
"I see." Natsu said as he slammed the spoon on the table and got up heading to take his backpack. He went to the room and stuffed his clothes in it angrily, cursing while carrying his belongings and taking his keys and before he got out of the room, he found Gray standing at the entrance, arms crossed while leaning on the door.
"I didn't tell you now. I said by tomorrow." Gray huffed.
Natsu got close to the entrance that Gray Fullbuster was blocking and raised his hand giving him a warning. "If you didn't want me to go bananas on you today you'll move, right now."
Gray tried to ignore the threat. "I don't want you to think I am kicking you out. Our existence together in the same room is just-"
"-Yeah, you're totally right. In fact, I think this country is not big enough for you and me. Move." Natsu grunted while wearing his sneakers and double checking that he has his keys with him.
"Natsu-"
"-Gray. I don't need more of your lies. Now, move. Please."
"Ha? Lies? What do you mean by that?"
"You think I will seriously buy the whole excuse for you wanting me out? I know you're hiding something. Now, if you don't want to talk about it, then fine, but I won't tolerate this. Final warning. Get. Out. Of. My Way."
Gray raised his hands up and made way for the angry pink-haired male, but stopped him midway with a statement. "You weren't exactly honest with me either. If you wanted to go to your home long time ago, you would have talked to Gildarts about it. But you didn't. Why?"
Natsu's head whipped around followed by his body. "Is it wrong to like to stay with a friend instead of being alone? Go ask Lucy why do I attack her bedroom every now and then. Oh-no, maybe because I have some stupid bedroom complex! Damn right!"
Gray's eyes widened at the angry outburst, but then he shrugged. "You have a stupid bedroom complex."
Natsu gritted his teeth, and cracked his knuckles feeling the strong urge to hit Gray's jaw. "WHATEVER!"
He stormed to the door and slammed it shut behind him.
Lucy and Erza were standing with Gildarts discussing the photo shoots that were going to take place shortly in the room they were standing in. Gildarts seemed to be super excited, for no obvious reason, but both mages standing with him, knew why. His attempts at making both Natsu and Gray lust for each other were just despicable. And mean. And heartless.
And Hot. That's why they agreed on going along with the plan with him, following him like the faithful soldiers they are. And they didn't expect Gray to come and object about posing nude. When they tried to negotiate with him, he threatened to kill himself on the spot if he had to. No more jokes, he was serious and Gildarts seemed to sympathize. So instead, he had them both taking off their shirts. Poor fans, they will be more frustrated and Gildarts didn't mind. Part of his job, was to leave his fans wanting more… Huh? Must've mixed up things. In flirtation, you leave the other party wanting more. Silly him, but the same concept works for this issue.
The same camera man who was knocked out cold last episode of shooting was standing looking at both mages perfect bodies, and again… he would pay anything to have sex with any of them. Oh wait, he was already having sex with his eyes and camera. So he won't complain much.
Gildarts and all the camera crew thought that taking this photo shoot was going to be the most torturing thing they'll ever do after trying to get both to hug, and being intimate which was the biggest pain in the ass. They both refused to click with one another. Gildarts prepared himself by taking a pill for headaches and doing a short yoga session for calming his nerves down, because (And he swears to god) if Natsu and Gray decided to go stupid on him all day long, he'd disassemble the whole magazine building. And no one would want that right?
The shooting started. The theme was for them to appear in such poses that shows the beginnings of making love. All the lust and desire and whatnot. Lucy and Erza stood baffled while the cameraman was currently having a severe nose bleed.
'Now… that wasn't expected.' Gildarts muttered to himself.
They were attacking each other. Silently. Natsu was frustrated as hell from Gray Fullbuster and when the bastard tried to dominate him (like he always does) Natsu flipped the tables and was on top glaring intensely at him and Gray didn't like that very much, so again, he tried to fight back and dominated the other on the bed. Natsu blushed a little from the proximity their faces were, but he didn't give up. So they were practically showing how wild and fierce lust could be without knowing they are actually doing that while trying fight silently with one another.
And ah-they were panting alright and sweat was forming on their bodies, and after being tired of doing that for a whole twenty minutes (Of paradise to the camera crew and Gildarts) Gray was on top of the pink-haired who glared at him venomously while panting. Gray gave him this you-are-dumb-and-you-know-it look and when Natsu decided to kick his ass, Gray pinned him to the bed and hugged him. It didn't help Gray in any way possible. In fact, he was having trouble with his lower half.
"You get off of me now, or I will remove the word 'Man' like Elfman used to say from being with you in the same damn title, you DAMN asshole!"
Gray's eyes weren't visible, but slowly, he buried his face in Natsu's hot skin of the neck and took in the scent that screamed 'Natsu' making the other party feel like a hot mess.
"Y-YOU!"
"I am sorry." It was a barely audible whisper in the ear followed by a soft peck on the shoulder.
"Cuuuuuut!" Gildarts shouted. Then the camera crew did a small victory dance while others cried giving the wrong idea of winning a civil war. YES! No more devastating migraines for the day! They did it!
"THAT WAS PERFECT!" They cheered and people were hugging each other.
Natsu froze in his spot and thought he heard something wrong (even though he's got the most powerful hearing sense) but…
"I am sorry."
There. He heard it right again.
With absolutely no control over his body, Natsu circled his arms slowly around Gray's neck having Gray after a while pull back gently.
Gray stared at Natsu's sweaty face before Natsu slowly stares at the side of Gray's face with a confused look.
Gray, for a moment, thought that he should lean down and ravish all of Natsu, but no. He was stronger than that. So he just took Natsu's arm gently and pulled it away as he stood up to get his shirt.
It sucked, no doubt.
…. Chapter Ends…
Author Note:
I know it took me so long, and I apologize. I first searched for a beta reader, and second I was still putting the pieces of this story together.
An Important Announcement: Ok guys, I'm sure you'll be happy to know this or…. Sad, I dunno, depends. This story is almost close to the official end. Unlike all of my stories (Which are completed) this one will have two ends. An official one, and then some extras combined in one or two more chapters. I don't know, just saying, might as well check my brain on how it works CAUSE IT'S FREAKING KILLING ME THESE DAYS! Ok ok, I promised myself I won't go postal on my readers, but anyway, there you go.
Thank you so much for your continuous encouragement. If you have any questions or any thoughts about this, then be my guest, and shoot.
Until then, Take Care!
Love,
Flame-Belt
To my lovely adorable bunnies-I mean-Reviewers:
donotinquire
"I do not know how advanced you are with the new chapter, but if it isn't too late, please, make Gray remember Natsu and be unable to do it."
Aww, Now when I read this before yesterday, I was like… My poor reader. I'm such a horrible person for doing that to all of you last chapter, but anyway, the chapter was already written and believe me, Gray is such an asshole, but I won't let him do something like that, so I hope you're satisfied now. I'm glad you found the story amusing, and I wish you follow it all the way with me.
Thank you very much!
MadameQuill
"Oh damn. Don't do it Gray. I will kick your ass."
So simple as a sentence, but it made me laugh as a child. 'I will Kick your ass' is an expression that will never ever get old. It always succeeds in making me grin. Well, thanks for following my stories, I really appreciate it. I wish this chapter was good enough as I've given it to a beta reader first. I hope some of the things are optimized now.
Have a good read!

"I'm gonna murder gray fullbuster if he seriously fucks Juvia... Dang it natsu... Wakeup and smell the future sex god that is called gray fullbuster"
Great lord. You're so right, in fact, you made me want to hit him so hard. Hehe, thank you elex-San for following this story in addition to all of my stories, you made me happy. I wish this chapter wasn't a disappointment, and that you'll wait for the next chapter eagerly. Thank you very much for the comment.

"someone PLEASE explain Natsu all the PERVY stuff ;3"
Gahahaha! Weeee, that was awesome! Just please, don't worry, Natsu will understand those 'Stuff' soon enough, or poor Gray, let's pray for him, he'd be not be able to do anything to him.
I liked your comment. Very nice, as well as your comments to my other story, 'All our Children Dreams', if I'm correct. Thanks for following both. I'll be waiting for your reaction as well.

"Oh god noooooo! Gray don't do it! Not with Juvia! Poor Natsu's going to break even more if you do..."
See? This is what I'm talking about, people worrying too much about Gray having sex with Juvia. In fact, he didn't, and I'll explain that next chapter. So don't worry for now, nothing happened. Ahaha, I feel like a bastard.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that! I'm glad you are following this with me, and I'm glad I got myself a new reviewer! Enjoy!
BohemianRebel
"Oh I loved this chapter liked seeing the natsu point of view like this. This update made me happy :)"
Thanks! I wish you like this chapter as well, and let's wish that kiss is soon or you're going to go bananas on me, hehe. Well, I really don't mind if you're late reviewing. I'm glad you're following it with me, so I wish you had fun reading this one.

"Can I stab Gray-nii in the face instead? How dare he take Juvia-chan's virginity.. *innocently smiling* I have my katana ready.. or should I use my gun instead? *smile*"
Great lord, that's so scary. If Gray heard you, he'd probably flee from the country. Don't worry ahaha, he didn't take her virginity or anything, and I'll explain that next chapter.
Gray is a very handsome man, and trust me, you don't want to lose him. You think about that…. (Uslessly trying to get you feel guilty…)
Enjoy!

"I feel so bad for Natsu in this chapter! He has so many feels... I wanna hug him. He's just starting to understand his feelings for Gray, and then that bastard has to go and ask out Juvia! This is gonna make Natsu even more confused and complicated... Damn you Gray! You're lucky you're simply meant for Natsu or else I'd kick your ass!"
My lovely beta reader. Gothpandaotaku-San, thank you so much for your help, of course, you saw the chapter before it was posted, but I would like to thank you once more. And oh! I bet Gray is the tortured one now, but I still don't mind you kicking his sorry ass.
Well, thank you so much!

"Just watch your grammar in a few parts of your writing. I only really notice this because I have the same problem XD."
Thank you so much for reviewing. Honestly, I wasn't paying attention and I thought you didn't read it before, but when you reviewed I was like 'Oh… Seriously?' Haha, something like that. Of course it's a good thing, but you just had me surprised.
Ah yes, about Grammer issues and stuff, I think I got myself a beta reader, and this chapter was beta-ed, so I guess it's better? Even a little? I don't know, but I'll do my best, so thanks for the big advice. And I wish you had a good read this chapter.
Enjoy!
Guest: O u O
"May I suggest getting a beta reader or someone to read it before you release it? I'm finding a lot of grammar mistakes and misused words. Your wording of the situation is confusing at times too. AAh, I know no one likes a critique like this but I'm not saying I hate it. I look forward to your next chapter all the same."
Hello there. I would like you to know that, on the contrary, I don't refuse advice. I pretty much welcome it, and that's why I searched for a beta reader, and that's why it took a long time to get this chapter done, so thank you very much. I really benefited from your advice, I find that all of the authors should have editors at some point.
Well, I hope this chapter didn't disappoint you and PLEASE, feel free to point out any mistakes, questions or anything that you want, I'm very open to these things.
Well then… Enjoy!

"Author-san, I have a maybe-mainstream-idea, how about when Natsu & Gray will pretending doing 'that', Gray will be too frustrated, angry, & embarrassed, so that he escapes & destroys some of the Magnolia's Shonen-Ai magazine building ? Then, Natsu will be soooo sadd ! And in just the nick of time, Gray will meet Natsu personally & says sorry to him to escape while pretending doing 'that' because actually he's to embarrassed (Gray comes to Natsu due to the help of our lovesick cupid Jesse *?*). And then, and then... *fainted*
Anyway, update faster, love this fic, GBU, & sorry for my stupid idea XD"
Listen here, MISS, no one has 'stupid' ideas here but ME! AND ME ALONE! Hehe, well I liked your idea so, very much, but the problem is that I attempted to make their ending together… because they wanted it to be done. You may not understand that, but believe me, you'll do once this story reaches the final line which is very…. Soon.
Ok, I said enough! I hope you enjoyed this one, and thank you so much for the lovely review. It always brightens my day.

"update soon. n if possible, do send me d next issue of d magazine. :3"
Oooooh…. My magazine lady, is so very expensive, so how much will you pay? Personally I think, the Gray/Natsu goodness deserves a fortune, so if you are willing to pay me, you know where to find me. *Winks!*
Hehe, thanks for the lovely review. I wish you liked this chapter.

"No Gray NOOOOO! X'( I'm glad you put in rules... But now THAT?! Nooooo! You should be with Natsu, doing stuff like... whatever couples do! :P I've never gone out with somebody yet, so I haven't experienced what happens during dates..."
Ooooh…. Hmm. What people do during dates? Well, let's say I can't tell you kiddo. When you do date someone you kind of know what to do without getting instructions. Haha, no I'm not that old if that's what you're thinking about now, I'm just giving you what Gildarts told me to say, so sue HIM.
Ok, thank you so much Yol-San. I'm happy you are following this with me. I wish you enjoy this one too.

"Ok, I think my name will show up this time (in the guest who you wanted to show a name) sorry my account randomly logs out alot. I LOVED this! I still want a kiss, and maybe a little jealousy from gray ;))) thanks for the shout out!"
Haha, it's ok, even though you might submit a review as a guest, you can write on the title your name. I just want to be able to thank you properly since you're one of my regular reviewers. Okkk, people asked for the kiss more than one time, and seriously… I'm beginning to hate myself! What if it wasn't special and people wanted to throw me with potatos? T.T Ellie-San…. I'll try my best!
Thank you for the lovely review again!

"Love this chap 3 (as always) and they're both beiing idiots (as always) and I can't wait for the next chap 3 asking for too much again (as always)"
Hello there. I'm sorry this chapter was late, and I wish it was worth the wait. Hmm, you're totally right. both are so much like idiots, but I promise, this will end soon. Hehe, ok! Enjoy this chapter!

"If only I could get a picture of Gray drying Natsu's hair!"
Hmm. Again, how much will you pay? I'm sorry mam, but this is classified property and it worth millions, so if you made up your mind, you can call.
Haha, well, don't be angry at Juvia. The problem is Gray here, and let's wish for the best in next chapters shall we?
Thank you for being such a very great reviewer! (Hugs!)

"I HATE YOU JESSE! I mean, at first I only thought you were annoying, but now I realize you're the WROST PERSON EVER. IF YOU LAY ONE FINGER ON GRAY-SAMA I WILL MARCH MYSELF INTO THIS FIC AND SHOVE A SWORD UP YOUR BUTT SO HARD IT'LL COME RIGHT BACK OUT YOUR MOUTH. ... Sorry... Am I being too violent? Heh..."
Great Lord… When I read that, I was like "OUUUUCH!"….. You seriously succeded in freaking me out. Haha, thanks for the lovely long review. I kind of understand why is everyone not cool with Jesse, but you got to bear with me until the end of this fic, Ok? And NO SWORDS OR GUNS OR ANYTHING, UNDERSTAND?! THESE ARE MY PRECIOUS CHARACTERS!
Ne?~ Ok, Enjoy!

"HEY JUVIA LETS HAVE SEX IN THE BED BY FRIEND LIKES TO SLEEP ON. YEP. THAT WON'T MAKE ANYONE UNCOMFORTABLE. ALSO MY FRIEND HAS A GOOD NOSE, SO HE'LL BE ABLE TO SMELL OUR SEX IN MY ROOM FOR LIKE A WEEK OR MORE. HAHA LETS DO IT ANYWAYS. WOOHOOOOO I THINK THIS THROUGH"
Wow…. Ok, hahaha. I understand why you are so pissed of, but believe me, no way in hell was I gonna make them have sex in Gray's bedroom. So yaaaay! That's so cleared up!
Ahem, Anyway, they didn't do it, so don't be angry, and I'll explain that next chapter. Thank you so much for the review! I'm glad I have you following this with me.
Enjoy!

"WHAT! Did Juvia really just…*sigh*. And knowing Gray (the asshole) he'll probably do it. And probably think of Natsu during it."
My first reviewer of the last chapter! Oh thank you very much! Hehehe, and looks like what you said was true. Well, I'll explain that next chapter! I was so amused from the your shock, I'm after all a sadist.
Thank you so much for reviewing. I'm lucky to have you!
Thanks for all. You have my love!
