Can't believe I'm on chapter 12 already!

Hope you enjoy!

The rain trickled as Gray and Juvia ran through the rain, the bluenette never letting go of his polo. They ran until finding a small cement canopy that was connected to the closed entry of a coffee shop. Gray patted his shirt getting rid of excess water, he than folded is arms and looked ahead. Juvia still stood there with her hand holding his shirt, her eyes looked down and blush was creeping up her cheeks.

Gray shifted uncomfortably "So..." Juvia looked at him as he turned his gaze away from her "Extra lessons?" Juvia lets it process than she looked away shyly not saying anything due to embarrassment, Gray looked at her shocked with a bit of blush. Juvia sees a poster taped to the wall, she reads it silently and her eyes widen

to see it's the same fireworks festival Levy was talking about.

Juvia tugs on his shirt and points to the poster "What should... I say..." Gray stares at her as her hand slackens and her gaze goes south "Exactly.." The rain starts to clear up and everything goes quiet, Gray starts to walk forward but turns around. He bows slightly as a goodbye and continues walking.

Juvia grabs his shirt again yanking him back "hey." Gray looks at her to see she's pointing at the poster again, her arm started shaking making Gray's eyes widen

"Wanna go?" Juvia said, Gray stares at her lets his mind process. Juvia looks down and lets go of his shirt "I said it..."

Two guys walk past them and see Juvia they stare at her "Hey look at that girl"

"Super cute!"

"Never mind, that guy must be her boyfriend." Gray glances at them frowning "that guy is so lucky..."

"Those places..." The raven haired boy started "are really crowded. It's better that we not go..." Juvia watches as he starts walking away "...I'll walk you home."

They walk together towards Juvia's house, the bluenette started walking a bit ahead and Gray trailed behind. Soon he was quite a bit back and Lucy walked towards them

"Juvia! You're back."

"Yes... Gray-kun walked me be back..." Juvia said faintly, the blonde looks back at him

"Thanks Gray. I couldn't walk her back myself cause I had work, sorry for the trouble," Gray nods and walks off making Juvia stare at him with melancholy eye's. Levy comes out of nowhere and hugs her

"Juvia! Good job!" She lets go and rubs the back of her hair nervously "...Sorry we saw everything" Juvia blushes "Don't be discouraged, It's alright! But you only said a few words... Maybe he misunderstood!"

"Eh?" Lucy said "What do you mean?" Levy puts two fingers up

"What Juvia said didn't imply 'Two people going together.'. He must have thought that Juvia was going to go alone to the fireworks festival"

"How do you know?

"Eh..." Levy thinks about the time Gray obviously stopped Natsu from seeing the smiling juvia "Because..." She also remembers the 'it's very dangerous' comment from him when she brought up going to the festival "because... If Juvia legitimately invites him, there wouldn't be any reason to reject her.." Levy finally says looking down

"Why?" Lucy says still slightly confused

"I'm sure that all she needs is a little push!" Juvia sighs

"I already tried so hard..."

In the course of the next couple days, Juvia and Levy worked hard on studies ate lunch and watched as Gray was about to eat but Ultear would rush over to him and try to force him to eat her homemade bento making the other karate members ohh and ahh at him. Gray would reject it but still the girl would persist to make him eat with a smile making Juvia turn away blushing. Finally the lessons were about to end, Levy and Juvia sat in the classroom listening to cicada's chirping. Levy fanned herself with the fireworks festival advertisement while Juvia stared outside

"Extra lessons end today." the short bluenette said but the other one just listened to Ultear shouting for Gray. Levy stopped and rested her head on the palm of her hand "is it okay like this?"

Juvia looked over to see her friend writing on the back of the fan "...Look," Levy held up the fan "Just give him this..." In cute handwriting it said 'Let's both go to the festival together' Juvia took it and stared

"Both of us... Together..." The beauty remembered the last time she asked making a small blush form on her cheeks.

Gray turned the water off sighing in relief, in the corner of his eye he saw a certain bluenette watching him from behind a bush. He looked over there to only hear a rustle and Juvia going down. Gray stared in shock, a small pale hand sticks out from the bush holding a circular fan, he jumps and starts walking over slightly confused

"Thank you..." he was about to take it but

"Gray-kun!" Ultear shouts from behind the said guy leaps over the bush and lands next to Juvia. Gray looks over to see her arm still in the bush, holding out the invitation. He grabs her wrist and pulls it out, Juvia blushes right at contact. She looks at him as he sighs in relief, Juvia notices how close they are, just a couple inches apart. Gray still held her wrist lightly but didn't even notice, Juvia felt bubbly and nervous. She dropped the flyer making Gray look over at her, he blushed and let go of her wrist. He grabbed the fan as Juvia stared at him slightly sad. Gray started fanning himself as he panicked, he saw a flash of writing and stopped.

The raven haired boy saw her message, Juvia shifted and looked down as she felt herself blushing "Fireworks.. Wanna go..." Gray looked over at her "both of us... together..." The boy blushed and looked forward, speechless

"Ah..." Gray swallowed nervously and looked around, finally Juvia looked at him making Gray drop his head

"Okay..."
