Friendship: Team Phantom
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail

When all the hope if gone,
I know that you can carry on
We're gonna take the world on
I'll hold you until the hurt is gone
I'm gonna be all of the way
I won't be missing one more day.
(~Never gonna be alone Nickelback~)

After the current events, the guild turned into normal quickly again. Juvia had settled in with living with Lucy. She had to admit that at first she had been a bit perplexed by the whole Team Natsu suddenly showing up at random times of the day, but since it gave her time with he Gray-sama she did not complain. For many it still was weird to see the usually cold persona of Gray be so comfortable with Juvia's craziness.

Instead of calling every female (or male for that matter) who dared to look at Gray, a love rival, she threw them a bragging grin. An old man was so startled by that that he jumped. After apologizing to the man, who had just looked at them because they looked so 'full of youth' together, Gray turned to his girlfriend, shaking his head. He knew If he said something about it, Juvia would most likely start to cry.

Once they had reached the guild, Gajeel called out for Juvia. Rain woman. Job.", was all he muttered, Levy rolling her eyes at him. "Gajeel, please at least pretend that you have manners.", which was ignored by the Iron Dragon Slayer. Juvia only laughed and reluctantly let go of Gray's hand before stepping over to the request board with Gajeel.

"That one should really not take too long for Gajeel-kun and Juvia to complete. The saying's good, too and we used to complete such missions before, easily.", Juvia bubbled pointing to a job. Had it been any other male on earth, Gray would probably have been jealous, but he knew that Gajeel was something like an older, protective brother to Juvia. This was also a reason why he trusted him to go on a mission with Juvia alone. Gray might not look like it be he close what was dear to him and did not like leaving Juvia alone.

"Sounds like a deal. Oi! Demon Girl! The Rain woman, Lily and I'll be taking this mission.", Gajeel waved the paper at Mirajane, who smiled and wished them good luck. Then Gajeel turned to Juvia "You have 10 minutes to say goodbye to the Stripper, Rainwoman.", he ordered and demanded to 'speak' his 'shrimp' in an empty broom closet.

Gray pulled Juvia into an empty corner of the room. Unsure of what to do he simply stood in front of her. Juvia only smiled at him shyly. She knew he wasn't good at saying good bye, even if it was only for a couple of days. She was just about to open her mouth to say something, when she was already pulled into his arms. Her hands were pressed up against his bare chest, one of his hands was in her hair, pressing her face against his shoulder, his other arm was around her waist.

She felt a blush creep to her cheeks and looked up at his face. Their eyes met. Storm gray and ocean blue locked, and then Gray pulled Juvia even closer for a kiss. The moment was perfect, until a certain pink haired idiot decided to destroy it.
"Ice pants and Juvia sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-", when a gush of hot water and an ice hammer dropped on his head. The couple had not even parted, both had just opened an eye, that was now closed again.

It had actually taken Gajeel 15 to be finished with Levy, and he literally dragged Juvia away from her beloved Gray-sama. Half an hour later Both Gajeel and Juvia were sulking. Juvia because she was dragged away from Gray, and Gajeel because he was sitting in a train. The second it started he slumped against the window, green in the face. Lily, in his small form, had taken his place next to Juvia.

It was only when Juvia pulled Lily onto her lap and began to pet him like a real cat that Gajeel focused enough to realize she was going to disguise herself. Shifting a bit, so her guild sign was hidden, Gajeel leaded the shoulder his was on against the window. "Oni-chan? When will we reach oba-chan's place?", she asked telling the other two that dark magicians were on the train with them. Their mission to destroy the dark guild Hydra Head had just come into focus.

Gajeel muttered a "Half an hour.", before trying to listen in on the dark guild's conversation. The guild members complained about all the regular guilds and talked about the moon, as if they were obsessed by it. Gajeel ignored that talk.
Once the dark mages noticed them they immediately set on them as their bullying goal. "Oh look what we have here. Some passengers? You're not wizards are you? Because if you were, that would happen.", one of them growled showing the Fairy Tail mages a beat mage. Juvia pretended to be shocked "We-We-We're just on our... on our way to-to-to visit our o-o-oba-chan. We-We're not wi-w—wizards.", she stuttered, hoping they would turn away from them. They could not get into a fight with them, just yet. What if one of them escaped and informed the guild.

Juvia was just thinking of a plan to get them to avoid their attention from her team, when the door to the compartment opened and another black mage came in, to tell his guild-mates, that he had found a wizard in the first compartment.
Feeling a bit uneasy because she did not want the other wizard to get hurt Juvia fiddled shyly with her skirt. "Stop the squirming, Rain Woman. Better them than us.", Gajeel murmured before preventing himself from hurling. He could not wait for the train to stop at their destination.

I've been wanting to write a Team Phantom/Gavia friendship arc/story for so long. My beloved brotp.
Samiii (Guest)- Gray-sama did nothing wrong! He just followed the orders of a mission... Gomen my Inner Juvia was glaring at you for saying you haven't forgiven Gray yet. As you may have noticed right now the next few chapters will more or less focus on Gajeel's and Juvia's current mission.
Neko-chan2604- Yeah it was about time right?
