Hey Dark Gothic Lolita here!
I know, I did just as I said. I pumped out the next chapter as soon as I could because you guys have gone quite a while without seeing me. Usually, even when I don't post, I still PM people, but this time I was too busy to even do so! I was GONE from the site! And I apologize! But this does mean that you won't get the chance to guess the next few letters!
We all know the disclaimers (they get boring to write after a while)
ENJOY!
I love you in 26 different ways
F is for falling
If there was one thing that Juvia hated doing, it was falling. She had proven to be quite the clumsy human and falling down would cause some major embarrassment. She didn't want to be embarrassing anymore. She wanted to be taken seriously dammit! She wanted people to know her name again whenever she went on a job! She didn't want to be that person that people laughed at or made jokes at! She was going to regain her status as the 'rain woman' once more!
So from now on, she was going to stop doing things that would cause sheer embarrassment. That meant she wouldn't be over the top with her daydreams, not outrageous in her choice of clothing, have logical thinking and the hardest of all, know that Gray just wasn't going to love her the same way that she loved him.
That was the hardest one to overcome, but after almost a year now, Juvia could now happily say that she was not in love with Gray anymore and she never felt better. She realised that her life as a single girl was pretty fun really and that love was something that should come to her, not make her force it. She still found fun in not being tied to one person, even though she was most definitely open to the idea of being in a relationship as well.
So it's the King's birthday and Juvia is wearing a beautiful blue silk dress with matching heels. She sips gently on her champagne while her eyes take in everything around her. She smiled before seeing Meredy somewhere over in the corner. Her eyes brightened up before deciding to make her way over her before she had to get away from the scene again.
Just as she took a step, her heel slipped and she found herself tumbling forward and her glass slipped from her hand. She gasped as it smashed and she knew that she might land on the glass as well. Oh well, not like that would hurt her, but the fall was definitely going to hurt her pride and dignity. Maybe she should just turn into water and seep through the floor. She knew everyone's eyes would be on her, so she closed hers and braced herself for the floor.
That was until she found herself standing upright once more, someone's arms around her waist to support her up. She opened her eyes and found herself staring into Natsu's dark eyes. She could see the amusement in them as his grin lingered on his face. She found herself forgetting how to breathe and the blood in her body made its way up to her face. She remembered the last time she was this close to him, he made a promise that he was able to keep and now was seen as useless because she didn't love Gray in that way anymore.
"You're so clumsy Juvia. But hey, if I get to catch you, I don't mind." He was then gone quicker than he came and Juvia looked about as she tried to find him. There he was, causing havoc with everyone around him and Juvia couldn't help but feel stunned. Why was she feeling weird from when Natsu held her? Her mind was blank as though she couldn't believe that he had just caught her.
So how was that? That was just a little bit of humour to relieve you guys of the sadness from the last two chapters. I hit you guys a bit too hard with that one! Sowie! But really, how did you see this chapter? Was it good enough? I hope it was!
Don't forget to rate or hate, flames or floods! Review and I'll love you!
