"I lied," the words echoed through the air and finally Gray speaks

"You... Lied?"

"I'm sorry... I told a lie... But this feeling," Gray looks away than looks back giving a rather nervous and awkward laugh "you got me..." Juvia looks down "For this one moment..." She looks at their hands that are pressed together and blushes, Gray stares at her still shocked

"it belongs to me.. This hand I hold tightly. It's very... Even though its very embarrassing, if I can convey to him that I want to stay by his side. How nice that would be... If I don't start saying something... Ah..."

She felt sweat forming on their hands and she pulls away, flustered. Gray stares at her slightly confused but turns away as she wipes her hand.

"Are we going back?" Juvia looks at him and nods though wishing they could stay longer. They walked past a takoyaki shop and Juvia gazed at it picturing the two of them eating it on a bench together. She buys a box and tugs on Grays sleeve, he looks at her as she holds it up "I'll pay," he says while holding up his wallet.

Juvia shakes her head no than bows, Gray runs off leaving her alone but comes back seconds later with a candy apple. He holds it out and she takes it, briefly touching his hand. Gray picks up the box of takoyaki from her hand and they sit on a bench, he eats a couple and Juvia eats her candy apple. Gray holds out the box and she takes one.

"July 31st, wearing masks and watching fireworks together, eating takoyaki, the candy apple he gave me is very... Sweet." Juvia looks at Gray to see him spacing out "During summer vacation, one day..." Her mouth pulls up in a light smile "I made a memory with Gray-kun" he looks over at her

"Thank you," she says quietly, he stares at her and holds up the half empty box of takoyaki

"Ah, no, I should be thanking you."

"Today I was very happy," Juvia said looking down at her apple, Gray nods still shocked

"If you were happy, than that's good." The crowd started gathering and they slid on their masks "lets go,"

Gray and Juvia walked back to Lucy's house and bowed to each other. The raven haired boy left and finally Juvia took off her mask, revealing her to be blushing.

The sun burned brightly as the three girls walked into school

"it's... SOOOO HOOOOTTTT!" Levy groaned fanning out her shirt "It's not even school time yet!"

"We only came back for a class meeting," Lucy said, the short bluenette turned around to see Natsu and Gray "ah! It's been awhile!" The pink haired boy looked at Juvia

"Hitode-chan..." He started but than shut up, boys started talking in the background

"Hey did you hear?"
"Hitode-chan was seen with a boy at the festival!"
"WHAT!? No way!?"

Ultear ran towards Gray smiling and waving "OHHH Gray-kunnnn~~"

"It must be a lie!" The girl stopped "Hitode-chan acting lovey-dovey with her boyfriend at the festival is just unbelievable!"

"Head shake-chan... Boyfriend... Festival... Lovey-dovey... No!" Ultear walked towards Juvia

"You... Who did you go with?" Juvia turned away ignoring her, Lucy looked-more like glared-at the gossiping boys

"Juvia doesn't have a boyfriend!" Ultear started shaking the blue haired girl

"Who did you go with, if it's not you're boyfriend!?" The black haired girl whispered to her quietly "the let me just make sure, it's not Gray-kun right?" Juvia stares for a second "right?"

The bluenette shakes her head, meaning it was him. Ultear went white in the face almost looking dead.

Later in the day, Gray and Natsu walked down the hall ways. "Can't believe Hitode-chan has a boyfriend. I wonder what kind of guy he is..."

"That person is her boyfriend just because they went to the festival together?" Gray asked not making eye contact but Natsu looks at him shocked

"You bastard! You don't even care about this stuff! Who else could it be other than her boyfriend?"

"How can you be so sure," Natsu thinks for a moment

"...it's the yukata, she went out of her way to wear one." He said looking at his raven haired friend "Do you think Hitode-chan would go to the fireworks festival with just anybody?" He returned the gaze still slightly confused

"If it was you, you wouldn't go with just anybody right?" Gray looks away blushing

"I wouldn't..." Natsu pouts

"See," he stomps off but Gray felt someone looking at him, he turns around to see a stone faced Ultear. But what made his eyes go wide was seeing Juvia standing there staring at him, Ultear felt her knees weaken but she still stood

"That... This is..." She looked at both of them to see identical faces. Shocked and extremely red "Ehhh?!"

And that is it! Cliff hangers~
