Chapter Two: No Nothing

Gray woke up first this time, holding Juvia. It was rare that she didn't wake up at the crack of dawn. He wanted to get up but he uldn't. Gray couldn't let her go, he wanted to stay like that forever. Gray planted a little kiss on top of her head.

"Gray-sama…" she whispe

red softly. Juvia turned to her side so she was facing him. She stared at him, and examined his face. "Juvia must go to the bathroom." she said as she kissed him gently on the forehead and got out of bed. Juvia looked for at least a bra and underwear. Their clothes were scattered all around the room.

Just as she was about to leave the room, they heard the front door opened. Juvia's heart dropped.

"Gray, I'm home!" screamed Loke. Juvia and Gray shot each other a look. Gray bolted up and put on his striped boxers. They could hear footsteps and they were coming closer. Gray looked around for a place that Juvia could hide in. But before he could, Juvia ran into the closet, and just in time, too. The door opened and in walked Loke, love oiling slightly hung over.

"Dude, you won't believe it but that girl I was with last night? Already slept with her. I didn't even know until she told me after, that's crazy," Gray just nodded as he listened to his words, praying he didn't hear or see Juvia in anyway, "anyway, I'm getting lunch, want something?" Gray nodded.

"Surprise me. Also, Juvia is coming over to study, get her something too. I owe you." Loke was about to leave the room, still unfazed by the clothes thrown everywhere, as it wasn't uncommon for Gray to throw his all over the apartment, but Loke turned around at the mention of her name.

"You and her, what's going on? Do you still have feelings for her?" asked Loke. Gray went red and so did Juvia, who was still inside the closet.

"Uh… um…" Gray was at a loss for words, a very rare occurrence.

"I'm fucking with you!" he said while laughing, "Hope you like gyros." and as he finished his sentence, he shut the door. Juvia exited the closet, still a little pink from Loke's comment. The two just stared at each other for a moment, unable to say anything. Juvia broke the ice, finally.

"Feelings? For Juvia?" she asked. Gray couldn't respond. He had been with girls but Juvia was different. She had always had a crush on him and she was the first girl Gray had mutual feelings for. He didn't know how to express his feelings for her, but now is a good a time as any. But Gray's a chicken and didn't say anything.

Juvia walked towards him, and wrapped her hands around his waist and buried her face into his bare chest.

"You may not want to tell Juvia right now, but when you want to you can, Gray-sama." He kissed her forehead, "Juvia will go home and change, see you soon." Juvia put on her outfit from last night, and left the apartment. She took the elevator down and exited the building. She had a little extra bounce in her step that day. Nothing could ruin it.

"Natsu! Hurry!" yelled Lucy, while looking back at Natsu. The couple has just been on a shopping trip and Natsu, like a gentleman, offered to hold all the bags. He didn't think Lucy would buy so much stuff. His legs and arms were tired. The pink haired bouy clearly was no longer in the mood.

"Lucy, you don't need this much stuff." he complained. Lucy shot him a look of anger, almost. They continued walking down the street when they came across the building that Gray and Loke lived in. Lucy glanced at the building for a second, but something caught her attention. A blue haired girl had just walked out. 'Is that? Noo, it can't be.' she thought. The blonde stayed in her place and just looked at the blue haired girl across the street, who was still adjusting her belt.

"Natsu, is that Juvia?" she said as she pointed to the girl.

"What?" he replied, clearly surprised by the question.

"IT IS! She just left Gray's building!" the couple followed the girl with their eyes before she turned the corner,"Oh my god! Do you know what this means?!" she asked, all excited, while she turned around to face him.

"She left his apartment at," Natsu checked his watch, "12:45 in the same clothes as last night. So what? I wear the same outfit two days in a row. Who cares?" Lucy rolled her eyes at Natsu's cluelessness. He was dumb, adorable.

"First of all, that's why we're shopping for you, so you can get new clothes–"

"Half of these are for you, Luce." Natsu clarified.

"Don't interrupt me. And, second of all she left in the morning in the same clothes as the night before, it's obvious she slept at his place. It's the only logical answer." she said. It took Natsu a minute to get what she meant, "I need to find out more. I'll call her later, but, not now. I just saw some cute jeans over there. Let's go, babe." she said as she ran off, Natsu sighed and following behind her.

Later that night, Juvia, Gray and Loke studied together in their apartment. Exams are in a few weeks and the group needed all the extra study time they could get. It had been dead silent when Loke's phone caught everyone's attention. Loke checked who it was and then turned his phone to show Gray.

"Dude, I have to go. She's never been single for more than like three days and I need to get it in now." he said. Gray sighed and rolled his eyes. His hand motioned him to go. Loke quickly packed up his books and ran to his room to put on better clothes. Juvia shot Gray a look and he winked back.

"I love you, bro!" they heard from the other room.

"Shut up." retorted Gray. Juvia giggled at their little conversation.

Within a minute Loke was out of the apartment and once the door shut they two put away their books in unison and Gray almost jumped on top of her. They started to make out. They were so into it. Juvia's shirt was off in a second. They couldn't hear the doorknob turn, somehow, because when Loke walked in they both turned around in horror to meet his gaze. He just stood there, wide eyed, stunned.

"I-I forgot something but I think you might need it more." he said.

"Loke-san…" said Juvia as she push Gray off her. Loke has always known something was up with them but he didn't expect to catch them in the act.

"I'll just stop at a drug store." he said as he was about to leave the apartment a second time, but turned around, "Also, I'm all for you guys doing it, but not on the couch. People sleep there, especially me and my girls." and with that, he was gone. Juvia and Gray shot up from the couch in disgust. The horrible things Loke could of done with those girls made them both shuddered.

Juvia sat on the floor and put her face in her hands, she was very embarrassed after that awkward encounter.

"Only Loke knows. It's okay." said Gray as he rubbed her back, trying to calm her.

"Lucy called earlier. Her and Natsu-san know also."

"What!?" he shot up, "How?"

"They saw Juvia walking out of your building." Gray ran his hands through his hair and sighed. They just studied on the floor for the rest of the night, since their friends always barge in their apartment and they didn't want more people to know. It was lucky that they did. Cana came in to grab some liquor, since she ran out. Then a very pissed off Natsu walked in to grab his 'stolen' video game. This resulted in a short argument that was interrupted by Lucy before things got out of hand. She basically dragged a screaming Natsu out.

It had been an hour since the Natsu incident. It filled with a lot of silent studying, Juvia finally spoke.

"Gray-sama, what are we?" she had had that question on her mind for a while, but she didn't ever ask. Finally, she blurted it out. It surprised both her and Gray.

"W-We're having fun, Juvia. Nothing m-more, nothing less. No feelings… Right?" he said. It was the best thing to say as he wasn't quite in touch with his soft side. He hated to admit he was falling for this girl. Gray hoped she understood.

As he said those words, Juvia felt a strange feeling in her stomach. Like she wanted to vomit at the sound of those words. She was on the verge of tears.

"N-no feelings. That is r-right." she said while forcing a smile. Juvia had always wanted more, but if he felt differently about it, then it's time that she did too, "Juvia must go." and with that she packed up and left, only a cold goodbye, no kiss, no hug, no nothing. Gray was baffled by her acting so cold. Juvia would always hug him, no matter what was going on between them. 'I fucked up.' he thought.

The whole way home she had been fighting tears. It wasn't until she got home that she finally broke down. 'He used Juvia. How dare he?' She was a mess. Her sons were loud and she had cried off all her makeup. After she had calmed down she put on a movie and tried to forget. Halfway through the movie her phone buzzed. She lit up hoping it was Gray, but it wasn't. It had been this guy from work who has been hitting on her for months now. She had never given him a shot but after tonight she decided to. Juvia didn't know if it was the vulnerability or subconscious want for revenge on Gray, but she gladly accepted. This made her feel better. Someone liked her, to say the least.

Author's Note: This concludes chapter 2! Can you guess who is that mystery guy who hits on Juvia;)?
