Chapter 2: Jealousy
Gray immediately went inside the Lamia Scale Guild without warning. The Lamia Scale Wizards got shock upon seeing the strongest team of fairy tail together. Natsu and Erza were trying to stop him but he didn't listen to them. Just thinking of Lyon and Juvia together makes him want to destroy everything.
He felt this before but he dare not put name to it until now. He now knows that he is jealous and he's afraid that Lyon might take Juvia away from him.
"Where's Juvia?" he roared causing the wizards inside the guild flinch in fear. He's giving off a very dark aura around him.
No one couldn't answer him and when he saw Wendy and Chelia coming out from a door he immediately approached them.
"Gray-san?" Wendy was surprised to see him there.
"Where is Juvia? Is she inside that room? Is she okay? How does she feel?" he rained question to the sky dragon slayer.
"G-gray-san…" Wendy felt scared on how Gray is acting plus he's giving off this dark aura and it terrifies her.
"Gray! You're scaring, Wendy!" Erza boomed as she pulled his shoulder and made him face her.
Upon realizing what he did, Gray felt guilty.
"I-I'm sorry." He apologized to the sky dragon slayer. "Where is she?"
"She's inside that room with Lyon-san." Wendy answered him and he felt like he was kicked in the gut.
She's alone with Lyon?
Bad images are now forming in his head and he really, really don't like it. But he calmed his self. Lyon is his childhood friend. But knowing that Lyon is in love with Juvia and he could be doing or saying things to Juvia that might change her feelings toward him makes him want to destroy everything he sees.
Gray! Calm down! Calm down! He shouted mentally.
He can feel the darkness inside him seeping out slowly and he knew if he doesn't calm down he might do things he will really regret.
He breathed hard and began to talk to the door.
"Gray…" he heard Natsu's voice.
"I'm okay." He said and he turned the knob.
He can feel his heartbeat getting really fast. He hadn't seen her for more than six months and anticipation is killing him. He really wanted to see her. He missed her like hell.
He pushed the door and images of her smiling face flashed in his mind. Juvia's smile... Juvia calling his name sweetly.
But he felt his world crushed down on him when he saw Juvia and Lyon hugging each other passionately on the bed.
"LYON!" He roared.
The said man looked at him with visible surprise in his face. He dare not look at Juvia. He feels really, really angry right now.
How dare Lyon touch Juvia? How dare he touch HIS woman?
In an instant he was next to Lyon and he punched him hard square in the face sending him flying through the wall.
He heard Juvia shouted Lyon's name with worry and it angered him more.
Does she care about Lyon?
His anger tripled when Juvia approached the now unconscious Lyon on the floor. He doesn't know what he was doing but he really wants to freeze Lyon right now. He wants to freeze every cell in his body!
"Lyon-sama! Lyon-sama!" Juvia was trying to wake Lyon but the poor guy is totally knocked out.
His nose flared and he grabbed her arm harshly and he yanked her away from Lyon. He can't freeze him to death with Juvia close to the bastard. He doesn't want to take the risk of freezing her too.
He stepped closer to Lyon and a dark blue magic circle appeared on the ground where he was standing and where Lyon was lying unconscious.
He smiled when he saw his childhood friend slowly being consumed by ice.
But suddenly he was surrounded by water. Juvia's Water Lock.
What Juvia did pushed his anger to the limit. Now he wants to freeze everything! He froze Juvia's water lock and he went close to her.
He can see fear in her beautiful face as she looks at him.
Why would she fear me?
He stepped closer to her and she stepped back. That shocked him. Juvia never did that before. Usually, she was the first to approach him. Sometimes he would get shock because she jumps at him. But why is she walking away from him now?
Is it because of Lyon? Does she love Lyon now and doesn't care about him?
Juvia was now trapped between him and the wall. He doesn't understand why would she look so scared of him? He would never hurt her.
He tried to touch her face but she flinched.
He balled his fist and gritted his teeth in anger. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" He shouted at her.
She flinched again when he shouted and he instantly regrets what he did.
"I-I-"
"You're not Gray-sama."
He barely heard her. "What?"
Tears are now streaming down her eyes before she looked at him directly in the eyes.
"You're not Gray-sama."
He grabbed her shoulder. "What the hell are you saying? Of course I am Gray!"
Juvia struggled to be free from his grasp but he's too strong for her. "No! You are not Gray-sama! Gray-sama would never hurt his nakama!"
He felt like he slapped in the face hard.
Of course he would never hurt his nakama. He would never hurt his family!
"You hurt Lyon-sama! Lyon-sama is like Gray-sama's brother… he would never try to kill him!"
What he heard shocked him to the core. He releases his hold on her and he glanced at Lyon. He got terrified when he saw that half of Lyon's body is frozen.
Did I do that to him?
His breathing became faster. He just remembered how he wanted to kill Lyon when he saw him hugging Juvia. He remembered how pleased he is when he saw his childhood friend slowly freezing. Goddammit!
He immediately undid the spell he cast on Lyon.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"
"Of course you meant to!" Juvia shouted at him.
He was surprised to hear Juvia talked not in third person.
"You tried to kill Lyon-sama! You are not my Gray-sama!" Juvia exclaimed.
"No! Juvia! This is me! I'm Gray! I've come back. I'm here to fetch you." He tried to explain but the water mage shook her head.
"You're not Gray-sama… Gray-sama is not evil. You're evil." The bluenette cried.
"I'm not e-" he stopped in midsentence when he saw his appearance in the mirror behind Juvia.
The marks on his body has spread now covering half of his face and his hair was up it gotten longer than usual.
No wonder Juvia don't believe he was Gray.
He closed his eyes and tried to suppress the dark magic inside him and luckily, he successfully did.
"Juv-"
"I'm so tired."
"-what do you mean? Juvia I-"
"I'm tired of waiting… I'm tired of loving you, Gray-sama."
And Gray felt the whole universe crushed on him.
