A/N: Hey guys, sorry for not updating recently/consistently. I had a summer class I needed to focus on xP
This chapter will be focusing on the what happened when Happy and Gray wanted to go check on the girls at the dormitory and who knows where Gajeel went...
Yup!
- - - - - -Enjoy
Happy wasn't entirely convinced with Natsu's answer about Carla and Wendy not being sick since they Wendy never got sick. She was the sky dragon after all, and she has healing powers. Perhaps Carla wasn't sick either since Wendy will always be more than willingly to heal her. But Happy wasn't going to stop worrying until he actually sees that Carla was fine.
Using his super max speed, Happy flew to the Fairy Tail dormitory, which was only ten minutes away from the guild. The girls dormitory sits on an upper hill on the left side of the guild, opposite of Natsu's house which is much closer to the guy's dorms.
Even though the flying Exceed did not know which room exactly was Carla's, it couldn't hurt if he searched the whole dorm.
Reaching the front door of the dorm, Happy landed on his feet, breathing slowly and knocked on the door. He had heard stories of the landlady from the girls at the guild. They described her as the sweetest grandmother who took care of them like they were their own daughters.
She should love me. I am a cat after all.
The double doors opened slightly, an old lady popping her head out, looking left to right. And once again when she didn't see anymore standing there. She failed to notice Happy who stood in front of her, frantically waving.
"Oba-san! Here, here! I am here!" Happy began jumping up to meet her gaze. Finally, she looked down, pushing her circle lens up to inspect the talking cat.
"Ah yes, and who may you be, cat?"
"Aye! I am Happy. I want to meet with Carla. It's important."
"Fairy Tail?"
"No no, I just want to meet her."
The Oba-san shifted her glasses once again before closing the door slightly, making it impossible for Happy to slip past her.
"That will be impossible. You see, there are no boys allowed in the girls dormitory."
"Aye! But Happy is a cat."
The Oba-san nodded her head, disagreeing with the cat, "A male cat."
"B-but I'm worry about her. Please Oba-san!"
Happy begged with teary eyes, ready to use his secret weapon.
"No! And if this is it, then that's my final answer. Leave."
If you're going to be like this, then- Happy quickly presented her his secret weapon, he offered it to her gently, "Will you let me in if I give you my fish?"
The Oba-san smirked, "Carla hates fish, by the way."
"No she doesn't! Carla is a cat just like I am."
"Oba-san?" A young girl's voice came from behind the doors, "Who is it?"
The door slowly opened wider as a blue haired girl came into view, standing beside the landlady, having not seen the blue cat yet.
"A male cat wanted to come in to visit Carla. Male, Wendy."
" Male' cat? Happy?" Wendy finally looked down at the cat who was in the process of eating his rejected fish.
"Aye, hello Wendy."
Wendy smiled at the lady sweetly, "Don't worry Oba-san, he's a friend of ours. I'll go get Carla and we'll hang out at the gazebo. I won't let him in."
Oba-san considered it for a moment before agreeing, trusting the girl's words. "Fine, you can do that Wendy. Actually, I'll go get Carla for you. You can head to the gazebo. And cat," The lady bent down to her knees stroking Happy before pinching his cheeks tightly, "I said, Carla didn't like fish. Not me. You owe me a fish, blue talking cat."
Without another word, the lady turn and left to go find Carla.
"Sorry about that Happy, Oba-san doesn't like the idea of any male invading her ho-" Wendy looked at the cat, "Happy?"
Happy slouched to his side, his fish forgotten while he held his cheeks tenderly. "My cheeks... that hurts..."
Wendy sweat dropped and stepped onto the porch, making sure to close the door behind her.
"We should be heading to the gazebo, wouldn't want to make Carla wait for us, would we?" Wendy snidely said, making Happy stand up immediately and grabbing his fish to continue his nibbling.
"Lead the way, Wendy."
Gray frantically leaves the guild in a hurry, slightly worrying for Juvia.
I'm just worried about a nakama...
Gray kept telling himself as he ran towards the dormitory. He too had heard stories about the dormitory landlady from the female residents in the guild. That she's the sweetest grand-
"Stop!" A voice came from the porch where an Oba-san sat in a rocking chair, slowly rocking forward and back, knitting.
Gray froze in midstep. But his sudden stoping caused him to be unbalance and fell forward, earning a loud sigh from the lady.
Who is this Oba-san...
"What do you want, boy?" The lady shouted from the porch, rolling her eyes as Gray got back up on his feet.
"Uh I... Uh... I want to see Juvia." Gray said flusteredly, dusting his clothes.
"Why is it that all the boys are coming here today..." The Oba-san muttered to herself, frustratedly, without stopping her knitting.
"What was that, Oba-san?!" Gray yelled from his spot, not moving even a step.
"What do you need her for?"
"Is she... okay?" Gray struggle to find the words to describe what he wanted to say.
"Yes, now leave." Oba-san said without looking up from her knitting masterpiece.
Gray sighed loudly, "Look, if you can't Juvia I'm here, then can I come in?"
"No."
The short response earned a vein pop onto the side of his side. "Then can I talk to the landlady?"
Oba-san simply smirked, "I am the landlady."
Not wasting another moment, Gray rush to the porch, skipping several of the steps until he was finally in front of her. "Then where's Juvia? Why can't I come visit?"
Gray looked down on the lady, demanding answers. He was growing frustrated with this Oba-san's short and indirect vague answers. He wanted answers and he was going to get them at that moment.
"Hmph. A boy who can't admit his feelings have no right to see a lady of this household."
"Excuse me? My feelings are none of your business! And what are you talking about!"
Oba-san slowly stood, examining her now finished scarf, "Honestly. I don't know what Juvia sees in a boy like you. She could do so much better. She could love someone who actually loves her back."
Gray gritted his teeth at what she said. It was the truth. Juvia can get someone better than him. Someone who won't waste time denying his feelings for her. Someone who'll cherish Juvia and her feelings.
There was so many times when he wanted to tell Juvia those three words back to her. There were so many times when he'd regret he didn't. And yet everytime he was given the chance again and again, he never did say it.
But Juvia is her own person. It's up to her to decide who she loves, who she has feelings for. It's not up to him to deny Juvia of any of her feelings for him. And Juvia never deny her feelings for Gray. Everyone knew about how Juvia felt about Gray. It wasn't him that didn't know what he felt for her. Heck many times the guild members would tease of Gray and her becoming a couple. He'd brush it off, saying things like that conclusion was impossible or he would denied having feelings for her.
Though in reality, it was the opposite. Everytime he goes back to the guys' dormitory, he'd go in his room and think about all the possible ways he can tell Juvia his feelings for the next day. Most of the times, he never got the chance to.
When Lyon showed up and declared it was love at first sight with Juvia, his heart nearly broke at the possbility that Juvia could be tired of him denying her advances towards him and move on...with Lyon. He'd get jealous at the thought of Juvia going along with Lyon's advances. But even though that happen, he never was able to tell her his feelings.
And Juvia, lovely Juvia, even after all this time, she never got tired of liking someone like him.
Honestly, I'm such a terrible person to do something like that to someone I lov-
"...ove... I love her... And Juvia chose to love me..." Gray widened his eyes in shock, covering his mouth instinctly, earning a cold stare from the lady.
Telling Juvia his feelings was one thing, but actually telling her he loves her was another. It's been difficult for Gray to say those three words out loud. He never got the courage to even when he was practicing saying it in front of the mirror in his bathroom. Being able to say the words out loud sounded differently than what he had imagined in his head. It was full of emotions rushing through his body. Now able to say the words, Gray had become confident in being able to finally tell her those three words which she so oftenly said to him. But this time, he'll be saying them to her.
"Oba-san, quick, where is Juvia?"
The lady shifted her gaze from the ice mage to the direction he came from, "She left saying she was going to go visit you at the guild a couple of minutes before you came. You two probably missed each other."
Gray cool down his urge to have an anger outburst but instead stripped his shirt and winked at the lady, "Thanks Oba-san. I'll owe you one!"
With that, Gray headed in the direction he came from.
"Tch, really. What does she see in someone like him?" Even though the words seemed cold, Oba-san picked up Gray's fallen shirt and folded it neatly, placing it in her knitting basket while watching the ice mage's disappearing figure.
Wendy had excused herself to go get refreshments for the three of them, asking Carla promptly what tea she'd like and left the two cats,
The gazebo was at the end of the a flower garden which takes up one third of the backyard. A great view can be seen from above the waters.
Happy continued to nibble on his fish, avoiding Carla's questioning eyes who sat across from him, folding her arms.
"If you called me out to just sit here in silence to watch you nibble on that fish, then this is a waste of time." Carla began to stood, however Happy grabbed her arm gently.
"It's not like that Carla. I was just worry something happened to you."
Carla glanced down on Happy's paw on her arm, "Why would you think that?"
"Because I didn't see you at the guild today and you and Wendy are always at the guild by a certain time. And asked Mira if you two went on a mission and she said you didn't."
Carla began to push Happy's arm to let go, but he only tightened. "Why do I have to report to you if I'm going to the guild... Why are you worrying about such a small matter whether I go to the guild or not... It's none of your business."
Unsuccessfully removing Happy's arm, Carla turn around, her back facing Happy. Happy reluctantly stood up as well.
"Carla... Do you really not know why I do these things? Why I worry about your safety... or why I offer you my fish as a present... Do you really not know why?"
Carla began to panic a little. She wasn't ready to admit these feelings she had for that cat yet. It had only been a short time she had realized what these types of feelings were. And she hadn't even gotten accustomed to it. Telling the cat her feelings while feeling unsure, would only him more. Escpecially if these feelings turned to be something else. Like appreciation, or admiration...
"Really, I thought I was obvious in showcasing my feelings for you. But," Happy pulled on Carla, bringing her closer to him to hold both her hands, her back still facing him. "Carla, I love you. I've always have. Since the day I met you at Blue Pegasus til now, I never was able to stop liking you more and more until I realize that I couldn't live without you even for a day. Did you know Carla? I always make sure to go to the guild super early to wait for you so we can spend more time together. While I wait for you, I make sure Mira has lots of your favorite tea so you wouldn't be upset for the day. Rose tea, is your favorite. And whenever we'd run out, I'd go to your favorite tea store and buy it for. And yeah I hate tea. I hate the bitterness and would rather much have fish, but you seem to like it, so I've been practicing drinking it so that maybe we can have a tea party some day again and I wouldn't be left out. Did you know Carla, that even though I was raised by Natsu, I'm not as dense as he is? My head may be hard to break, but I'm carrying around a rock in my head. I'm a lot more expose to what it means to love someone than Natsu is. Natsu thinks he only loves Igneel but really, he doesn't even know what the true definition of what love is. Because if he did, he and Lu-"
Carla turned briskly around to face Happy. Shock at the sudden moment, Happy let go of her hands and instantly regret it but it didn't last long. Carla grabbed onto his hands, looking at him in the eyes, "Really, I thought this was suppose to be a love confession for me, how did it turn out to be about Natsu's romantic problems."
Happy's ears perk up, "Carla..."
"Really Happy, say it again."
Carla stood closer to him, close enough to hear breathing against his ear, his fur bristle at her closeness.
"I love you, Carla. Only you."
Carla smiled. And whisper in his ears, "I love you too Happy."
Screw the doubt that she had in her feelings for the male cat. She has always trusted her instincts and gut feelings so why couldn't she do it now for herself and for Happy? She can give advice to others about romantic relationships so why couldn't she take advice too? She's always played safe and stayed in her comfort zone. But this time, it'll be different. For her own happiness, she'll trust her heart and make her own decision. She'll be able to put her trust into Happy that he can make her happy.
-Wendy-
Wendy naturally walked to the back door before slamming it shut and peer out the window, having no intentions to go back out. Carla has been with her ever since she was young. It was Wendy and her other villagers who raised Carla together. The feline had always been cold and hard to open her heart to anyone. It had taken quite awhile for her to open her heart to Wendy and that's when they became friends. Carla had a mother character, one that Wendy had never had. Although the villagers took care of her needs, it was Carla who truly understood her.
Being given the chance for Carla to be happy, Wendy wasn't going to let Carla decide not to take the chance. If she still refuse to trust her heart, Wendy decide she would talk some sense into her...
But looking at Happy and Carla hugging tightly and closely, Wendy decide it was best to give them their privacy and skip away.
Gajeel leisurely walked the streets of Magnolia. After the talk with Salamander, his questions were still left unanswered. Lily walked the same pace as his partner, wondering where in the world they were going.
Clearing his throat, "Gajeel, just where are we going?"
The iron man didn't even bother to answer. Actually he didn't even hear what Lily had asked. He was too busy trying to figure out where shrimp went or if he could catch her scent if he walked around a little more.
Where can she be... Where does she like to go... Come on man, think...
"Gajeel, I said, where are we going? We're not just walking around aimlessly are we?" Lily chose to take plan B into action by transforming and shaking him.
"Huh oh. Lily," Gajeel addressed when he snapped out of his thoughts, "I'll be walking around a bit. You're free to follow or leave."
Without waiting, Gajeel kept walking, leaving Lily behind.
Bewilder at what Gajeel's thinking to keep him so absentminded, Lily was just about to follow when a child was clinging on his leg, crying out loud.
Lily decided to stay and help the crying child. "Where's you momma huh?"
Gajeel kept walking until he was at the center of the town. There, he kept making right turns, walking around in circles, trying to smell anything. Suddenly a lightbulb clicked in his head.
"Of course, of course! Why didn't I think about it til now?" Gajeel laughed while running into the one place where he had followed Levy so many times now. The one place she had introduced to him when she realized she could trust him. The one place where there was a million of things of those books she loved so much. It was the boo-
Gajeel rounded the corner, coming face to face with a person. At his speed, Gajeel didn't have time dodge the person and braced for the impact, bumping into the other person.
"Are you alr-"
Levy dressed in a short skirt and a t-shirt sat on the ground with fallen books around her. "Ta ta ta, that hurts." She hadn't even realized that it was Gajeel who she had bumped into.
"Oi Shrimp, you watch where you're going because you're so small." Gajeel kneels down beside her, picking up and stacking the books. "It's because you're small that I have to protect you. See what happens when you're not by my side? You get hurt." He mutters without looking at her.
Levy simply smile, blushing a little bit at the sudden words he was saying but appreciated them. "Yea..."
Gajeel helped the script mage up, offering to carry her books to her destination which Levy thanked him.
"I was going to go to the giant cherry blossom tree."
Gajeel immediately knew where that was and instantly felt his sweat becoming cold. They had never talked about what happened when he first attacked Levy and teammates. He never wanted to. It was something he regrets and still feel guilty whenever he walked past the tree and the alley where he brutally attacked the members.
He never told anyone, but the thought of it still makes him grimace. Especially since he cherishes Levy right now.
For Levy, it was different. Of course the tree held memories she's not fond of, but it was also where Gajeel defended her from Laxus' lightning attack. A good memory replaced a bad one.
Deep down, Levy knew Gajeel avoided going to that place whenever he can, but Levy thinks that if she can replace a good memory for a bad memory, then maybe he won't keep thinking and feeling guilty about it. Then they can enjoy the view together. It was another one of her favorite places. She just hadn't told Gajeel yet because of what he feels.
They had reached the root of the tree, and sat next to each other. Levy breathes in the fresh air while Gajeel sits rigidly.
Noticing this, Levy asks if he was alright.
Gajeel turn to glance at her, "To be honest, no. This is harder than I thought."
He stood up and moved away from her, leaning against the tree, without looking at her.
"What, what's harder?"
"This! Sitting here with you pretending that I didn't beat and hang you up in this very tree branches!" Gajeel seethed, glaring at anything in his view, folding his arms tightly. He looked menacing, like a real dragon.
"But that was then, you're different now!" Levy too got up and stod in front of him. But it was no use, she was shorter than him and he kept looking over her head and straight forward.
"Don't you get it shrimp? I'll never forget! It's a sin, what I did. I can never forgive myself."
"I already FORGAVE YOU!"
Gajeel shook Levy shoulders slightly, his eyes widening, "How can you? I''ve hurt you." His voice cracked at the end. She could feel his body trembling slightly.
Levy shook her head slowly, "But you also protected me."
"Protect'?"
"Remember? It was at this very spot where you protected me from Laxus' lightening."
Gajeel pulled Levy close, bodly. "It's not enough to replace the bad things I did to you. I hurt you, Levy. I regret it so much. Every. Day."
Levy breathed in his scent, "Then you can make it up to me. Every. Day."
Gajeel tightened his hold on her, "C-Can I?"
"Yes... I... Iove you Gajeel."
Tears trail down his cheeks landing onto Levy's shoulders. In a blink of an eye, Gajeel spn Levy around so that her back rested on the tree and he looked down at her, searching her eyes for any lies to what she just said.
Levy took a sharp breath in, staring up at Gajeel's frantic eyes, waiting for something. Anything to let her know he feels the same.
"Is... Is this true, Levy? Y-you lo-love me?"
Levy nodded, a blush spreading her face. Gajeel had never called her by her name before, it was always the nick names he had for her. Hearing him say it for the first time... made this moment extra special. Not being able to take much of his stare any longer, she looked away. But was only brought back to look in his eyes again as Gajeel rested one hand on her cheek, the other on the tree behind her.
"Oh Levy. I love you too." Gajeel gulp before moving closer to her face, waiting for any sign that she didn't want him to do what he was about to do. Levy's body filled with happiness as she felt him bring his face closer and she knew what he was going to do... And she wasn't going to stop him. She had only read about it in books and Lucy's novels and dreamt of it happening to her one day... And that one day has finally come.
I'm sorry Lu-chan.
Levy closed her eyes, feeling Gajeel slightly press his lips against her. His cheeks wet from his tears... but maybe these tears are happy tears.
Juvia decided to forego her usual route to the guild and decided to take a detour instead. She wanted to feel warm sand underneath her feet and smell the fresh salty air of the ocean. The place where Phantom Lord fought and lost against Fairy Tail was now a public beach for all the people to come and enjoy a fun day. Sometime at the start of the seven year gap, as a momento of Fairy Tail's lost mages, the people of Magnolia had all pitched in to clean the beach of garbage and made it into a proper beach which was nice since Magnolia didn't have a beach to begin with. It was after the battle that the rocky cliffs became unstable and started to take on a different shape.
Now, the beach is a regular hang out place for anyone who wants to go to the beach. Juvia had left the dorm in a hurry to meet Gray but along the way, Juvia started to think about her feelings for him and the day she met in... Gray... the person who helped Juvia in so many ways more than one.
The beach was also special in a way that just before the 'beach' ends, there are rocky paths and a cave. Only those with a Fairy Tail guild mark will be able to walk along the rocks. Juvia, being the rain woman, used the ocean's water as a walkway to the cave.
The cave was inside a magic shield, protecting the inside from storms of the ocean and also keeps it clean. The path to the inside of the cave started with rows of flowers leading to the core of the cave. Along the walls were torches, lighting up the dark cave. As Juvia walked, the brighter the cave became until she reached the end, coming to a tombstone with all the names of Fairy Tail's mages that had gone missing on Tenrou Island.
Among those names where hers, right next to Gray's. Oh how well did the guild know her. Around the tombstone were many pictures of the members, individuals and candid ones. Everything was among a field of flowers, forget me nots, roses, daisies, all these flowers had a message.
We won't forget. We love you guys. We'll be waiting for you to come back.
During one of their many stories telling session, Romeo had talked about the cave on Magnolia beach just below the guild, a couple yards. The members were interested in seeing the cave. When they got there, tears and hugs were exchanged among the guild members. The seven years without the core members had been rough on them, taking a change for the worst.
The guild members had decided to leave the cave as it is. Mostly because they were lazy to clean it up or turn it into something else. Either way, the cave have become one of Juvia's most comforting spot for when she needs to be alone. Even though she wants to hurry to guild to see Gray-sama, a heavy thought weigh her mind.
Will Gray-sama ever have feelings for Juvia?
Perhaps it was the front that Juvia shows off in front of people, but people does not actually know that Juvia too has her insecurities and weaknesses.
Gray-sama does not hate Juvia... but Gray-sama does not love Juvia either...
"But Juvia loves Gray-sama..." Juvia whispered while staring at a candid picture of her and Gray laughing, one of those rare times that Juvia forgets everything else and just enjoy her time together with Gray.
Outside the cave, rain drops have begun to slowly form a small scale storm. Juvia is sad. Sad that Gray doesn't know how he means to her. It's not that he was a handsome ice mage who made the rain woman body hot whenever he looked at her.
Juvia had always dream about doing a unison raid with her significant other. She had always dreamt of finding a partner who matches her magic well. She is the rain woman. Gray is the ice mage. Together, they had an equal balance of combination of power during unison raid. It was beautiful and powerful at the same time. Elegant but destructive.
"Juvia!" A voice called out to her at the entrance of the cave.
Juvia wipe her tears away quickly, "Juvia must be truly delusional... Juvia just heard Gray-sama's voice!"
"Juvia! JUVIA! JUVIA!" The voice called out desperately. The most desperate tone she's ever heard the voice in. As the voice came closer to her, Juvia turn to see a panting ice mage, clutching his knees to keep from falling over. And, he wasn't wearing a shirt.
"G-Gray-sama!" Juvia's back faced Gray, hiding her eyes and blush from Gray. "W-What are you doing h-here?"
Gray's erractic breathing finally became normal again, a determine look cloud his handsome facial features. "Juvia."
Just hearing Gray say Juvia's name was enough to send shivers along her body, her heart burning with different emotions.
"Juvia. Look at me." It was demanding yet gentle at the same time. Feeling an invisible pull to look at him, Juvia turn to face him, her blush still red and slowly spreading her face even more.
Fidgeting with her fingers, Juvia waited for Gray to say something. Anything really. The silence was deafening. The only sound was the rain drops hitting the salt water and the outer rocks of the cave.
DRIP DROP DRIP DROP DRIP DROP
Gray made no movement, not even a sound. He simply stared at her, blinking every once in a while. Juvia appreciated silence. But this kind of silence was slowly killing her. Silence meant she was left to her own thoughts.
Why is Gray-sama here?
Why was Gray-sama panting as if Gray-sama rushed here to look for Juvia when Gray-sama first came?
Why isn't Gray-sama saying anything?
Why is Gray-sama staring at Juvia?
What is going on?
Should Juvia speak first?
Not taking the silence anymore, Juvia broke eye contact with Gray and looked down to the gound. "Wh-"
Before she can finish her sentence, Gray move in front of her, so close that she can just reach out and cling onto him like she always did.
"Gra-"
Again, Gray moved. This time, he gently wrap his arms around Juvia, pulling her close so that her chin landed on his right shoulder.
It looked awkward. But to Juvia, she was dying of happiness and shock.
Gray was doing this unscripted. During the time it took to find Juvia, he was listing ideas of what he wanted to do, to tell Juvia when he sees her.
But when he finally found her, he couldn't help but stop and admire the woman he had fallen for. She's beautiful, and strong, and elegeant, and not afraid to show her emotions, she's everything.
Something inside of Gray told him to hug Juvia and that's what he was doing right now. Somehow, the hug turn into a tight embrace.
Having Juvia with me feel so good. Since when did I start feeling like this...
Gray was thinking too much. He decided to empty his mind and do the things he's been wanting to for Juvia.
"Juvia, why are you here?"
Wait what?! I didn't come all the way here to ask her this!
Juvia sigh into his embrace, loving the way his arms felt against her. She felt safe and protected.
"Juvia was going to go to the guild but something led Juvia here. Juvia wanted time alone to think."
"Think'? Think about what?"
Gray whisper into Juvia's ear, producing goosebumps.
The same happen to Gray, "Juvia wanted to think about Gray-sama without Gray-sama with Juvia. Juvia wanted to go and somehow think if Juvia deserves to stay by Gray-sama side."
Gray tightened his hold on Juvia, "Why would you think that? You deserve anything you want, Juvia."
"But Juvia does not have Gray-sama. However, Gray-sama already has Juvia."
Gray shook his head on Juvia's shoulder, "You're wrong, Juvia. Since long ago, you already had me..."
Shock and suprise, Juvia pushed against Gray's bare shoulders, wanting to look at his face and confirm what she had heard.
Juvia is being delusional right now! Juvia heard something that Gray-sama would never say!
Juvia is strong. If she couldn't compare to Gray's physical strength, then she'd use her transforming body.
And that's what she did. She turned her body into water, and slipped from Gray's hold to stand behind him.
Gray try to grab hold of Juvia again, feeling a sudden emptiness. Turning around, Gray let his hands drop to his side.
"Juvia is being delusional, Gray-sama. Juvia heard something else! Please repeat what you said Gray-sama."
Gray didn't say anything, keeping his silence, confirming that what he just said was not a part of Juvia's fantasy.
"Gray-sama... Juvia... Juvia has always loved you!" Juvia, returning to her self, flung onto Gray, knocking him against a wall.
Juvia began to sob quietly, letting her tears fall freely. Somewhere outside the cave, slow rain drops began to multiple and beat against the surroundings.
Gray held Juvia's hand and flipping around so that she's now trap between the wall and himself, he kissed both Juvia's cheeks before settling on her lips.
After what seem like an eternity, they finally parted. Gray rested his forehead against Juvia's looking lovingly into her eyes, breathing hard.
"G-Gray-sama...?"
Gray barely manage to say, "I love you Juvia" before kissing her lips again.
They kissed until Juvia's lips became swollen and kissed more after that.
Somewhere outside, the rain had stopped, producing a beautiful rainbow that covers the skies of Magnolia Beach. The Magnolia town residents all step out to admire the beautiful rainbow and the sunny, cloudless sky.
A/N: Yup yup! Hope you enjoyed! xD
FINALLY, NEXT CHAPTER, THREE CHARACTERS WILL MEET.
Heheh.
P.S. this chapter has 5,700+ words. WHOO!
