Chapter 6

Gray's POV

I hate this situation the most in my life. Why this happened?

"I dunno…." I replied. Then I feel a great emptiness, feel useless that I can't do anything.

Powerless.

My legs are shaking, and I crouched. I tried to hold my tears, but I failed.

Now, I know why I feel uneasy and unusual.

It's because Juvia's not around.

Normally, she's energetically wandering around Fairy Tail, shyly, blushed when our eyes met, but we're pretending not to see each other, because we're too shy to talk. And I used to bbe happy that way, enough for me.

Withour her, my days are feels so bland.

Why I didn't realize it earlier?

Why I must prioriting my ego? Not to talk her because I'm getting scared if that firebreather will mock me.

And, painfully, I realized it now, that….

.

.

.

.

I loved her…

.

.

.

.

.

But why I must realize this feeling, so late?

"Juvia… what should I do?" I talked, half cried.

"Gray…" Lucy sighed.

"Get up, droopy eyes. It's not your usual self!" Natsu grabbed my shoulder and pull me up.

"Shut up. I'm not in a mood," I said.

"Maybe we should brought her to Master. He might have some ways to revive her," Erza said. "It's a shame that we knocked that two unconscious," she punches the ground with a bitter face.

"But how?" Lucy asked.

"Cracked the icicle below her feet? Or maybe melt her ice?" Natsu asked.

"THERE'S NO WAY YOU'LL DO THAT IN FRONT OF MY EYES!" I hissed.

Everyone surprised.

"Hey. What's with that reaction?" Natsu asked.

"I…I won't allow you to touch her with any forces. Never! Because… I… I… I loved her!" I yelled, blushing furiously.

But it was a real thing. I won't deny it any longer.

They're surprised more, after hearing my confession.

Juvia, magically, started to have a shade of pink on her petrified face.

Is she heard me?

"Juvia?" I surprised.

The sunset has come, so Erza decided to stayed overnight.

They're asleep when I finally decided to go out, and stepped closer to juvia's sculpture and stroke her cheek gently, suddenly my stomach breezing.

"Juvia…." I called. "Juvia… I'm sorry… I can't help you when it's needed….", I started.

"Maybe you can't hear me, or you can? But I wanna say this to you : I love you, Juvia… Maybe it's awkward, but that's my real feelings… sorry for being unable to realize it earlier… Hmm, seeing you around me, only that way can makes me happy, so…. I want you back like that time.. and.. I missed you…." I felt that one tears comes out from my left eye.

"If that's so, why don't you say it earlier?" Natsu's voice heard.

I turned, erasing my tears. Natsu and Loke's there.

"What are you doing here?"

"I ask: why don't you say it earlier?" Natsu repeated his question.

"That's not your business. Go away," I said firmly.

"I SAID: WHY?" he repeated it once more.

And he's triggered my anger.

"IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU, PUNK! I KNOW YOU'LL MAKING FUN OF ME EVERYTIMES IF YOU KNOW IT!" I burst my anger out.

"DID YOU CRAZY? Don't you see about me and Lucy? I almost lost her this evening, so I DID tell her about my feelings that time so I won't regret it!You FOOL!" he shouted.

WHACK! He punched my face.

And I accidentally hit Juvia's sculpture. Smacked her lips with mine.

Loke's surprised, yet Natsu looked quite guilty about it.

But Juvia's sculpture is shining, brightly that night.

And the ice is watering… melted down unto water, with a bright, shiny flow….

"It's beautiful…" Loke commented.

After the shine's gone, Juvia's standing in front of Gray, blushed, and surprised.

"Wha.. What happened?" she asked shyly.

"Looks like my strongest spell has broken," Lyon's voice popped out. He's awake, and still tied with the cloaked woman.

Gray hugged Juvia tightly, graced to met her back.

Yaay! Chapter 6!

Gray finally realize his feelings.. While having a deep thoughts about Juvia… kyaaa~ XD

Finally, it's all over… Let's head back to Fairy Tail!

Let the magic begin!
