Fairy Tail Drama

Chapter 6: Issues

General POV

Lucy sighed and shook her head. "Juvia, do you want to stay?"

Juvia shook her head happily as soon as she heard that, "With Gray-sama!" Gray looked at Juvia nervously, "Uhhh. I'm sure I can sleep by myself," he quickly said before Juvia could say anything else.

"You can sleep in my room, Juvia," Lucy offered. Juvia stared at Gray intently with the 'puppy-dog-pout' face.

"We're female and male, y' know," Gray quickly made up an excuse. Lucy watched them share faces until she couldn't take it anymore; she grabbed Gray's arm and ran out the apartment. "Gray, come with me, I'll show you my job!" Only way to break the tension, Lucy had thought. They arrived at Pub Crater and went in.

"Hey, Lucy!" the green-haired waitress shouted as soon as she saw Lucy, "We really need your help right now!"

"Okay, got it!" Lucy ran to get changed. Gray looked around, I've already been here once but I hadn't really looked around. They look pretty perverted, he thought, observing the men at the pub. Lucy went around taking orders while Gray pulled out a seat and sat, and ordered a Crescent tea. He got his Crescent tea and peered down at it. It was green with a lemon in it shaped like a crescent moon.

"Moon tea is rare here since its pub," a female's voice informed. Gray turned around, facing a girl with short green hair smiling widely, "Do you like it?"

"Uh-h-h—h," Gray hesitated, not wanting to say anything bad about the tea, "It has a unique taste to it," he finally responded. He looked down at the moon tea, viewing his reflection. Gray picked up his cup of tea and swirled it around, watching the way the tea was moving and drank it. He put it down and watched Lucy work. He grinned seeing the way Lucy was taking orders.

Suddenly, a bearded guy reached out his hand and grabbed Lucy's butt. "You should watch whose butt you're touching!" she angrily shouted and kicked the guy in his stomach. With one swift move, she flipped the guy over her head, twisting his arm. Gray winced and walked over to her.

"Have you been training?" he asked, looking down at the bearded guy who was lying on the ground, aching in pain.

She nodded, "On Sundays, I train in the mountains." She dusted off her hands and put on her apron.

"That explains it," he nodded approvingly, "Well, I'm going to go look around the town."

"Okay, by the way I recommend the Ice Cream store down the street," she suggested. Gray gave a thumb up and walked out. Lucy beamed and went back to work.

Meanwhile With Juvia and Michelle..

At Michelle's workplace—A Library

"What do you think is happening between them right now?" Juvia stuttered and bit her handkerchief.

"Wait, between whom exactly?" Michelle questioned, clearly confused and reached up to pull a book out of the top shelf. She put the book on a cart and pushed it to the next lane. She jumped up and down to put a book on the top shelf.

"Gray-sama and Lucy-san," Juvia replied. Juvia followed Michelle and helped her put the book up.

Michelle turned around and gave Juvia an eyebrow, "What could happen between them?" She took a book out of the cart and searched around to see where the book belonged. Juvia stared at her intently, "Well," she stopped biting her handkerchief and imagined what was happening between them and shivered at the thought of it, "Um, never mind."

Michelle giggled and handed Juvia a book that she had taken from the shelf. Juvia peered at the book 'Sea Alliance'—it had read. "Juvia does not like to read books," Juvia explained.

Michelle responded with a small smile, "You'll like this book; I picked it based on your point-of-view."

Juvia took the book from her unsurely and sat down to read the book. Juvia turned to the first page and read quietly while Michelle went back to working. Michelle hastily completed her work; she came and sat with Juvia.

"How do you like it so far, Juvia-san?" Michelle interrogated.

"Juvia loves this book," she said with a pleased face.

Michelle smiled, "I knew you would like this book, especially since it relates to water princesses and ice princes."

Juvia beamed at Michelle and replied, "Thank you Michelle-san!" She continued reading.

Time Skip: Night time – Michelle Lobster's POV

Click, the door next to my room opened. I sat up and listened. Why would Juvia be up this late? I questioned myself. I waited until she was downstairs and grabbed a sweater. I quietly closed the door to my room and tippy-toed down the stairs, following Juvia-san.

I noticed how she was in her normal clothing; she went outside. I followed her quickly so I wouldn't lose her. She strolled through the town and entered a café. I watched her sit down and order something. She looked as though she was waiting for someone. Could it be Gray? I sat at a table behind a flower pot and took off my sweater. It was pretty warm in here.

"May I get you anything?" a waitress came and asked.

"I'll take a cup of warm coffee," I answered.

"What kind of coffee?" she asked.

"French Vanilla is okay," I finally answered.

I waited until the waitress left and peeked out from behind the flower pot. The bell chimed as someone entered the door. She had long scarlet hair and wore armor with a sword at her waist. Erza-san!

Erza found Juvia and sat with her. She looked quite happy, probably because of the strawberry shortcakes.

She happily ordered something and chatted with Juvia. I tried to make out the words Juvia was telling to Erza. Work….Crater…..Pub….Street…. The waitress came and gave me the cup of coffee. I thanked her and added sugar in it. I cupped my hand on the drink, feeling warmer and took a sip of it. It burned my tongue but I could still taste it. The sweetness of the coffee spread over my tongue, followed by a pinch of bitterness. I glanced back at Erza and realized she had also gotten her cake. Juvia observed the café and glanced in my direction; I quickly hid behind the flower pot.

"What happened?" I heard Erza exclaim out loud.

"Nothing, Juvia thought she saw someone watching us. It was probably just Juvia's imagination," Juvia quickly replied.

"The café is closing," a waitress said. I quickly put my sweater back on and drank my last bit of coffee. I heard Juvia and Erza get ready to leave. I sprinted back home and tried to be as quiet as I could be. I hopped on my bed, hurryingly and pulled the blanket over my head. Juvia came in and closed the door; she went in to her room. I waited until there was no sound from her and got up, sighing. I thought about what had happened back at the café. It's probably nothing, if it is, I'll tell Lucy, I decided. Closing my eyes, I dozed off quickly.

General POV: Morning

Lucy came to the dining room to find everybody already sitting at the table, eating their breakfast. "Why didn't you wake me up?" she asked and sat down.

Juvia came out of the kitchen carrying a tray which had a glass of shaved ice on it. She took the glass of shaved ice and put it in front of Gray. She smiled at gray and sat down staring at Gray with a dreamy look. Gray thanked her and started 'digging' in.

"You shouldn't eat something so cold in the morning," Lucy frowned, "It'll mess up your stomach."

Gray chuckled at her, "I spent my childhood in the mountains with Ul, training in the cold with just underwear on, I can take this."

After they had finished, Lucy went upstairs and got everything ready to go to her job. Lucy was about to leave when Michelle blurted, "Lucy-Nee-Chan! Wait, I have something to tell you." Michelle got up and quickly went to Lucy, leaving the apartment. Which meant Gray and Juvia were alone.

Gray and Juvia sat at the table, nervously exchanging eye contact.

Oh boy, Gray thought.

Hey guys. I'm getting very slow in updating this fan fiction because currently I'm working on another project. I'll also be replying to reviews.

The Infamous Smile of Mona Lisa: Haha, yes, it WILL be NaLu, once Natsu finds Lucy, or maybe not. I also support NaLu but I want to make this interesting. Btw, don't think fo lucy as a player-although she does seem like one…..

Juana Dragneel: Thanks for reviewing. It'll take a lot of persuasion to make Lucy come back and I have to make just the right moment for it.

amyskywalker: I'm actually a fan of NaLu and Gruvia. Tee-hee. Because if Gray goes with Lucy, who'll be with Juvia? Juvia so awesome! She deserves gray, I mean, water and ice? Dur.

Mkay, thanks for reviewing guys. I'll update quicker so you guys can read more.

R&R. I should've said that at the beginning of the chapter but oh wellz. YOLO RITE. .

I have a bad sense of humor. ._. Nigahiga?
