AN: Ohayou! Or.. konichiwa! Depends on what time you're reading this haha!

*SMACK*

Me: Hey! Who did th—Oh.. you're back. *mutters* unfortunately..

Lexy: What does that supposed to mean?!

Me: Nothing. So, how was the trip with the master and Laxus?

Lexy: Eh.. it was okay. Could've been better if SOMEBODY didn't threw away all the bait!

Me: You went fishing?

Lexy: Yes. Callum tried to hand over the bait until he opened the lid and saw a bunch of worms! He screamed like a little girl and drops the whole thing in the river! Worst. Brother. Ever.

Me: Oh come on! There's a bunch of brothers out there that are waay more annoying than him!

Lexy: WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM?! Ugh.. whatever! LyonAndJuviaForever does not own Fairy Tail and blabla blabla.. I'm going to my room.

Me: Uh okay? Enjoy! And sorry for not updating for so long! Been lazy and had a temporary writer's block. But, here it is!

Chapter 8

Juvia's standing beside Natsu in combat mode. Natsu's panting and Juvia is holding a brown box tightly to her chest. Juvia wiped a sweat off of her forehead and Happy hid quietly in Juvia's bag. The opponent is laughing loudly and wiped a spot of blood off of his lip. Juvia grunted and gripped the brown box even tighter than before.

Natsu clenched and unclenched his fists, "Just give me the box fellas and nobody has to get hurt!" The man finally spoke out but Natsu just replied with 'tch' sound. "And why should we give you the box anyway? Our client told us to protect it from a crazy hooded man with dog breath. I'm guessing the crazy hooded man with dog breath that he was talking about is you." The man scowled and charged at Natsu.

Natsu backflipped and quickly dodged the attack. Juvia gritted her teeth and attacked the hooded man with her water slicer. The man falls back on his head and whimpers in pain. Natsu chuckled slightly and charged at him, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" The hooded man got hit once more and his head got hit by a tree behind him.

Juvia's grip on the box gotten tighter and she prepared herself to cast her water cane. The man stood up and rubbed the back of his head. He was covered in bruises and he was basically coughing up blood. The man sprints over to Juvia attempting to snatch the box but once again, he failed.

"Water Cane!" The man got hit and hit and hit and hit until finally, he gave up and ran away. Juvia and Natsu high fived each other and Happy got out of Juvia's bag.

The both of them walked through the forest and it reached night time.

"Yawn.. mm.. Juvia, maybe it's best if we uh.. set up camp here for the night. I mean, it's pretty dark and it would be quite dangerous to keep moving. Don't you think so? Juvia?" Natsu looked around but saw no signs of Juvia. Natsu gulped and started to panic,

Not only did Gajeel and Gray just threatened to kill him if he lets anything bad happen to Juvia again but also because well.. Natsu just doesn't want her to get hurt again. Natsu searched around screaming her name but still no signs. He mentally kicked himself and tears started dripping until,

A sight of a blue haired girl sitting by a river was seen. Natsu approached the girl and tapped her shoulder, "Oh! Natsu-sama! Uh.. Juvia's very sorry to have ran off like that! Juvia just saw the pretty river and just had to come and sit. Once again, Juvia's very sorry!" Juvia stood up and bowed thinking that Natsu would scold her. But instead, Natsu hugged Juvia for a minute and pulled away, "Just don't ever do that again! You understand?!"

Juvia gasped but a smile formed on her face, "Yes, of course Natsu-sama!" Juvia hugged Natsu and he blushed like crazy. They pulled away once more and glanced over at the flowing river, "It's beautiful. Isn't it, Natsu-sama?" Natsu slowly nodded and looked over to the water mage. She looked so beautiful in the moonlight, her hair was flowing in the breeze and her eyes shined brighter than the stars.

Natsu got out of the daydream and cleared his throat, "So.. erm.. shall we set up camp?" Juvia smiles and nods cheerfully. Juvia and Happy sets up the tent while Natsu starts a bonfire. Juvia walks over to Natsu and giggled. Natsu looked back and saw the giggling Juvia and couldn't help but feel happy and irritated at the same time.

"O-oi! What are you laughing about?!" Juvia stopped and steps closer to Natsu, "Nothing. Juvia just thought that Natsu-sama looked cute!" A blush crept up on Natsu's face and he could here Happy mocking him in the background. "She liiiikes you!" Natsu groaned and focused his eyes on the blue exceed, "Shut up, you darned cat!" Juvia giggled again and Natsu blushed even deeper.

"Hey! Stop laughing! Ugh, whatever! I'm going to sleep." Natsu got in the tent and hid his face with his hands and tried to hide the blush. Juvia sighed and got in the tent as well, "Natsu-sama.. Juvia didn't mean to upset you! Juvia's sorry! If you want, you can join Juvia sit beside the river and watch the stars." Juvia waited for a response but sighed after 4 minutes without one.

She sat beside the river and looked up to see the bright and beautiful stars. She smiles widely after hearing footsteps from behind. Natsu sat next to her and looks up as well. "Look, it's okay. I guess I was just.. embarrassed.." Natsu admitted and Juvia looked at him confused, "What do you mean by that?" Juvia raised an eyebrow and Natsu sighed. "I-I-I like you, okay?! Happy now?! I just felt scared and embarrassed that if I told you this, I would ruin our friendship." Natsu looks down and Juvia comes a bit closer to him.

"Natsu-sama.. Juvia likes you too!" She comes closer and closed her eyes, their lips meet and they started kissing passionately for a few minutes until, "You liiiiike each other!" The two of them stops and glares at the blue exceed with irritation. "Oh! Uh.. sorry! Please don't kill me!" And with that, Happy runs away and went in to the tent.

Juvia's deep blue eyes meet with Natsu's dark eyes. They both blushed and looked at each other once more. "Uh, It's really late! I'm uh.. gonna go sleep.. you coming?" Juvia nods and both of them heads in the tent.

The next day,

Juvia yawns and smiles finding herself next to Natsu. She shook Natsu over and over in hopes that he will eventually wake up. After 15 minutes of pointless attempts to wake Natsu up, Juvia grunts and went out to grab a bucket of water.

She grabs a bucket of water and pours it all over Natsu, causing him to wake up. Natsu blinks and rubs his eyes, "Eh.. what time is it?" Juvia shrugs and Natsu searches for the brown box. After that, they went off to deliver the box to their client.

Natsu yawned and scratches the back of his head. Happy walks beside Juvia making sure that the box is still in Juvia's grip. Juvia hums quietly and bites her lower lip.

Her mind wanders off to last night. She could still remember Natsu's soft lips and his warm hug. She could still remember what happened. Although technically, this wasn't their first kiss but still, this one is different. This one is more warm, more magnetic, more.. intimate. It felt so different than the first time.

Juvia places a finger on Juvia's lower lip and a blush crept on to her face. Natsu looks over to Juvia and couldn't help but blush as well. He smiled and his mind drifted off to think about the water mage even more but,

He also thought about what the guild might say if or when they find out about Natsu and Juvia's crazy relationship. Wait.. why was he thinking about that?! Once more, Juvia and Natsu are just really close friends that also makes out with each other time to time. No more, no less.

Juvia tried so hard to think about Gray instead of Natsu but, all she could think about is..

How dreamy Natsu looks, how warm and soft his lips were, how his pink hair is so… manly *sarcasm*, how he looks like when he's embarrassed.

And then she only remembers that they just confessed that they like each other last night. Juvia's heart paced faster and her cheeks were burning. She tried so hard not to kiss him on the spot! Juvia never felt this way before. It might sound crazy but she never even felt this way about Gray.

She felt something similar to what she felt towards Gray but this one is different in a few ways..

This was,

Pure love..
