Regarding the review saying Lucy's mom is dead: Yeah I know that Lucy's mom (Layla) is dead. But in the beginning of Fairy Tail, Lucy still wrote letters to her mom even though she was dead. She wrote her letters, but she never mailed them. Remember when her friends found all her letters? She wrote letters to her mom because it felt like her mom was still there.

Anyways please enjoy this chapter c:

Chapter 6: The Repaired Heart

As if she was a ghost herself

"Drip drop. Drip drop," said the person standing behind the tree.

"Who's that?" Lucy asked Gray. She gently hugged his arm.

"You don't want to know," answered Gray. He could tell that Lucy was worried.

"Drip drop. Drip drop," the girl repeated.

It started to rain, but it didn't feel like any other rain before. The rain drops hit their skin like knives. It seems as if the person who was causing the rain was in pain.

It started to thunder. The thunder was as loud as a dragon's roar. Lucy froze. She was terrified by thunder.

"Lucy, stay right here," Gray looked at Lucy. He could see the terror in her eyes. At first he thought that she was scared of the person behind the tree, but it seemed like it was something else. He decided to grab her hand and squeeze it softly. The terrified look was still remained on Lucy's face.

"It's going to be okay," he said softly.

As he walked away from Lucy, he couldn't help but to think about her. "God dammit, why did this have to happen tonight? Out of all days, it had to happen on my first date with Lucy." He looked behind him; instead of seeing a cheerful blonde, who was always filled with life, he saw a girl who was so pale as if she was a ghost herself.

Lucy eyes were wide open. Her skin was pale blue, and she just stood there. Frozen. As if someone had pulled her off switch. He turned back away and started to walk towards the person. Little did Gray know that Lucy is terrified of thunder storms; she always has been ever since her mother past away.

Gray finally approached the person. Her aura was dark and gloomy. The only thing she said was, "Gray-sama," she repeated, "Gray-sama," several times.

The person was no other than Juvia Lockser.

"Gray-sama," Juvia looked up at Gray, "Gray-sama is Juvia's not Lucy's. Juvia has been in love with Gray-sama ever since Juvia met him. Gray-sama is the reason why Juvia joined Fairy Tail." The rain began to pour down harder.

Gray was speechless. Juvia was an amazing friend, but he loves Lucy. He didn't know what to tell her. He just wanted her to move on and love someone else. But now that he thought about it, if Lucy was to ever reject him, he would be devastated as well. Would he have move on? Or would he just keep chasing her? Moving on would be tough for Juvia, but it was possible.

"Juvia…" Gray started, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset. Juvia, you are an amazing friend, and you will always be my friend, but nothing more."

He heard Juvia whimper.

Gray didn't want to see Juvia cry, "I'm sorry Juvia, but I love Lucy. And I will always love Lucy. You have to accept that. You shouldn't feel sad or angry because of my decision. You should feel happy. This is just a stepping stone for you."

Juvia looked confused, "Juvia doesn't understand."

"This is a stepping stone for you because now you can realize that I am not your true love," Gray explained. It may sound corny, like some cheesy fairy tale, but he meant every word.

"Juvia now understands," Juvia said, "But Juvia cannot move on because Gray-sama is Juvia's only love."

Gray realized that this was going to be tougher than what he thought.

Gray took a deep breath, "Juvi–"

"Juvia will never give up on Gray-sama," interrupted Juvia. "Gray-sama still loves Juvia, so Juvia will always love Gray-sama."

The rain began to fall lighter than before.

"Wait Juvia, you're not understanding what I'm trying to say. I do love you, but only as a friend. Like friendship love, I guess. It's hard to explain, but I love you like the way I love Wendy; in a friendly way not like a romantic way." Gray tried as hard as he could to explain their friendship.

"Gray-sama still cares and loves Juvia!" exclaimed Juvia. She was no longer upset.

*Juvia's romantic fantasy*

Gray: Juvia, I love you. You are the only one for me. I love you romantically. Let's get married and have 30 children. Please promise me that you'll never leave my side.

Juvia: Awe Gray-sama, Juvia loves Gray-sama too. Juvia will marry Gray-sama and have 30 babies with Gray-sama. Juvia will never leave Gray-sama's side. Juvia will never give up fighting for Gray-sama.

*end of Juvia's fantasy*

The sky was clearer than before. It was no longer a cloudy, gloomy night. The starry night was now visible again.

He was relieved, well sort of. He tried to let Juvia down again without hurting her feelings, but now it seems like he did the complete opposite.

Juvia was smiling, swaying back and forth. It seemed as if she was lost in thought.

Gray couldn't help but smile.

"Juvia?" Gray smiled, "You should head home and get some rest; it's been a long day."

Juvia snapped out of her previous stance.

"Okay, Gray-sama," Juvia responded, "Juvia will always listen to Gray-sama."

Before Gray could say goodbye, the repaired heart Juvia was already running home, taking her "Gray-sama's" advice.

Thinking about what just happened, Gray laughed. While he was laughing, he suddenly remembered the frozen blonde. Gray started to run back to where he last saw Lucy. He was kind of confused about what happened to her. It was like she became a totally different person. As if she transformed from a lively human being to a ghost. He reached the spot where Lucy was at. She was no longer frozen in shock or fear, but instead she was sitting on the grass, smiling at the sky.

Gray exhaled, "I'm glad that you are back to normal."

Lucy looked away from the sky and her eyes were now on Gray.

"Sorry about that," Lucy apologized.

"There's no need to say sorry, Luce," comfort Gray. He sat down beside Lucy and wrapped his arm around her. "By the way, what was wrong with you? You were completely frozen while ago."

Unsure about whether or not she should tell him, Lucy hugged Gray tightly. She felt like the reason why she was frozen was embarrassing. She took a deep breath.

After a few seconds, Lucy finally spoke.

"Promise not to laugh, okay?" Lucy warned.

"Okay, I promise," Gray said confusingly.

"Okay… Uhm I'm afraid of thunder. I every time I hear it, I stop everything that I was doing before and just freeze. It's like I'm unable to move my body when I hear thunder," admitted Lucy.

Gray opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, but Lucy wasn't finished.

"Yeah, I know that it's stupid. I mean, I belong to the strongest guild in Fiore, but yet I'm afraid of thunder. Something that is unanimated, something that can't kill me, something that can't even touch me," ranted Lucy in a depressed tone. "I've helped fought against evil wizards, giant monsters, I even battled against the Oración Seis." Lucy chuckled a little, "I'm pathetic, right? Imagine if I was supposed to fight while it was thundering? I would lose instantly. Sorry for all that rambling, but long story short, I've been afraid of thunder ever since my mom died."

Gray had to admit, being afraid of thunder was kind of funny, but yet he didn't want to laugh at her fear. He wanted to laugh at the reason why she thought she was pathetic.

Gray chuckled, "Pathetic? Luce you will never be pathetic a day in your life. You are the strongest celestial wizard living right now. Hell, you are in the strongest team in Fairy Tail. We wouldn't be a team without you. Being afraid of thunder doesn't compare to your strength." He was hoping that his little prep talk would cheer her up. He had no idea what to say about her deceased mother. His mother died as well. He thought that it was better not to think about the dead, and to focus on the living.

Lucy shed a tear, but she wiped it quickly before Gray noticed.

"No wonder why I love him," Lucy thought, "He understands me and he always make me feel safe and secure."

She felt herself blushing.

"And…" Gray continued, "If it ever thunders during a fight, I'll be there to protect you." He gently kissed her forehead. "I love you, Luce."

"I love you too, Gray," Lucy replied. She just remembered something, "Uhm Gray?"

"Yeah Lucy?" Gray responded.

"Who was the person staring at us earlier?" Lucy asked.

"Oh, don't worry, she is just a friend of mine," answered Gray.

"Oh okay," Lucy said curiously.

"Are you jealous?" Gray smirked.

"N-No, of course not," Lucy replied back shakily.

"Don't worry; I think that jealously is pretty hot." Gray flirted, as he pulled Lucy closer to him.

Lucy's face was as red as a tomato. Instead of replying with a snappy remark, she just embraced Gray's comfort and snuggled her head on his chest.
