It is almost nightfall but Gray still ran after Juvia beneath the rain. Gray stripped his shirt off for he thinks this would help him faster and make him comfortable. He continued to call out her name, a dozen times already, but still has no luck.

Juvia hid herself behind a big, plump tree's trunk, leaning her back on it, panting and sniffing. "Juvia!Juvia!" that voice echoed and reached to her ear, she can clearly hear it. She blushed but at the same time, was alert of it. "Gray-sama? You're still looking for Juvia?" she sneezed and noticed that Gray's voice is coming closer and closer towards her, and it stopped. The Water Mage wondered so she decided to peek, sliding her back sidewards , and moved her head to the direction where Gray's voice is.

Juvia spotted Gray resting his hands on his knees, panting and soaked wet. Juvia couldn't help it but blush faintly of what she had seen. Juvia returned to her original position, she heard his footsteps are getting closer to her, so she was alarmed, but Gray just leaned his back at the tree where Juvia is hiding and at the same time, placed her right hand on her chest cause her heart skip a beat.

She forced herself not to cry but this made the rain more harder than before, but Juvia managed to withstand it for she was sheltered by the trees twigs, branches and it's leaves. The fellow Water Mage did not utter a word or make any sound which can cause Gray to notice her presence. She thought to herself, "This is bad, if Juvia is seen by Gray-sama, Juvia is doomed!" and she started to tremble in fear and at the same time, nervousness.

"Juvia…." Gray called her out softly, her hear beat fast again but she calmed down.

"Juvia…" Gray called out to her again, the more he calls her name, the more her heart beats faster and the more her face is flushed. Juvia tries to bear with it and try to listen of what he will say. Gray looked at the dark sky, the rain pouring down to him, covering his face with his bangs, and interrogated ,"Juvia, you're really confusing me right now, We had fun first back at Magnolia and now you are running away from me? What's gotten into you all of a sudden?" He reached his right arm to the sky and put on a sad face.

It seems like Gray was talking to the rain since it reminds him much of Juvia. Gray the crossed his arms, still leaning his back on the tree. He then continued, "But that's one thing I find cute about you, You want to get people's attention, and you want me to come after you" he then laughed softly. Juvia was surprised, she had a disappointed face, "No, Juvia isn't like that, it's just-"

Gray raised his voice a little and continued,"You also tire me Juvia, letting me chase after you in thus rain, making me desperate to see your face, it makes me want to grab you and never let go."Juvia's blush was already pure red, she was speechless: Are those words true, Gray-sama?:Gray decided to sat down on the wet ground he fixed his bangs, preventing them to cover his face, and he gaze again at the sky, "But….thanks to you, I've realized something while chasing after you " He stood up again and shouted, "I've come to realize, after a very long time, I've come to Lo-"

*CRACK!*

Gra stopped and turned around, alert. Juvia looked down and found a twig beneath her foot, split into two. She cursed herself for stepping it and rapidly ran away. However, it's too late.

Gray spotted her, he directly grabbed both of her wrists, Juvia yelped a little when he glued her to the tree's trunk. Gray seems relief and he grinned at her, "Oh, finally found you. People sure shows up when someone talks about the, don't they?" His tease or jokes made Juvia blush more and more. Juvia tried to avoid his gaze, so she looked down. The two of them were silent for a moment that was until Gray mae the first move. "Oy Juvia, why are you trying to run away? Espescially fom me?". Juvia did not respond, she still looked down. Gray is sslowly losing his patience so he tightened the grip on her wrist. "Ow…" she says hands began to shake and Gray saw this. Juvia responded to his question, "Gray-sama, Juvia is sorry but she can't tell you."

She directly raised her head and looked at Gray straight in the eye and shouted, "Juvia is scared Gray-sama! She wants to run away from it! Juvia is ashamed for Gray-sama see her like this…" tears started to come out, the rain has gotten stronger and Gray started to worry, "Juvia, Hey calm down-" but Juvia ignored him, she keeps on yelling."Gray-sama must hate Juvia now, but It's okay to hate her, Juv-" but she was cut off for she felt something warm on her lips and she couldn't believe it.

Gray Fullbuster kissed her!

Her prince stole her first kiss, it was beyond her imagination. She felt like her heart was about to explode. But, she knew it was just a forced kiss, a kiss that would let her calm down and be quiet, Gray's close eyes were closed while hers were still wide opened. Still, this didn't stop her from escaping so she made a quick plan to herself: Since Juvia's body is made out of water, she can easily turn her hand into water, push Gray-sama away and escape!: She closed her eyes and activated it although their kiss still didn't end.

Gray felt something wet in his hands, he opened his eyes feebly and saw Juvia trying to escape from his grip. Juvia's hands are slowly slipping away from his but he fought back. He used his Freeze Magic to stop her from escaping him :Sorry Juvia but I won't let you:

Juvia didn't expect this to happen, at all. Both of her hands are frozen, temporarily. She can't move an inch, even she used her Sierra Magic, it's useless since the ice won't melt. She can't think of any other plans since she is so distracted of Gray and his body. Gray leaned closer to Juvia to deepen the kiss, "Hmmm.." Juvia moaned, thinking it's too much to handle. It was no longer a forced kiss, It's already a passionate kiss. Juvia couldn't take it anymore, she kissed Gray back by leaning her head towards him and so did he and her tears bagan to fall again.

Gray's P.O.V

What's wrong with me? Why it is my heart is beating faster every time I see her. I can't stop myself kissing her, Her face, her taste, her touch,Jeez everything about her turns me on. I want this moment to last.

Juvia's P.O.V

Juvia feels dizzy, she cried too much. But, being kissed by Gray-sama is a dream come true. He may be so hard on Juvia but he's gentle deep inside. Juvia can't take it, I can't help it but to be in his moment. Perhaps Juvia is just carried away.

Normal P.O.V

Their kiss lasted about a minute, when both their lips were already separated, Gray at the same time release Juvia from his magic and both of them are heavily breathing.

The kiss they just share was already too much for them to handle, Juvia rested her hans and head unto Gray's xhest while Gray extended his arms on the tree's trunk and rested his head on Juvia's shoulder, both were still breathing hard. Gray slowly reached his lip to Juvia's ear and whispered softly, "I never knew that kissing woukd be sweet". Juvia finally reached her limit, she passed out and collapsed but Gray caught her, he sighed as he wiped the tears of her face and he fixed her bangs, averting it from covering her innocent face. He poked her right cheek, smiled at her and said, "Sorry, I guess I crossed the line" He carried Juvia(like a princess) in his masculine arms and let her head rest on his bare chest . he walked and started to head back to the orphanage with Juvia in his arms, both were soaked together in the rain.

However, someone deep in the forest saw the whole thing happened, his dark aura was already tremendously growing, he clenched his fist very hard, his eyes glowed and shouted out,"Gray Fullbuster, you bastard! Juvia is MINE and MINE ALONE!" and thunders and lightnings were roaring in the sky.
