Chouchou Yosei 15
3/4 or maybe 5, I don't know!
Last one was pretty short, sorry!
Anyways, ENJOY~
Gray stared at her, red faced, while Juvia stared back shocked. Ultear just looked back and forth, Natsu turned around to them when he noticed Gray wasn't walking with him
"Hey, Gray. What's wrong?" The silence rang on for a bit longer before he turned to his friend and ran off. Juvia blushed the more she thought about his words, making Ultear grab her shoulders and shake her violently
"YOU GUYS ARE FRIENDS RIGHT!?" The bluenette still had the same blank look on her face "ARE YOU LISTENING!? Say something! Since when did you talk!? Quit acting like this!" Ultear stopped "Don't tell me you're already dating?"
"Juvia doesn't have a boyfriend!" Lucy said as a group of boys started coming closer "This has nothing to do with you!" The three friends started walking off "God boys are so annoying!"
"Don't pay any attention to them Juvia-Chan!" Levy said smiling "but it seems like you're already used to that! What a relief!" Juvia nods happily, still thinking about Gray's words
"Yosh!" Levy said as they walked out of the school campus "Lets earn some money for the remainder of the summer! I'm going to a relatives cafe to work." Lucy rolls her eyes
"There's only 3 weeks left. It's too late."
"Summer... I cant see Gray-kun anymore..." Juvia listened as her two friends talked about making plans " 'I have to go.' Even if... It doesn't have any meaning..." She looks up at the hot blue sky blushing slightly "Even just casually replying to a conversation. Just these kind of things make me happy."
Gray tightens his belt around his waist, and gets to work. He puts his legs in a wide V and stretches down, he pauses for a moment with a poker face than bangs his head on the floor. A depressed aura surrounding him as he remembered that Juvia heard his proclamation, Natsu looks over and stared at him in shock once he noticed that Gray was in a rather, uncomfortable, position for a boy.
"Oh wow." Natsu says slightly impressed but when Gray stayed like that for more than a minute, the pink haired boy looked at him a little worried "Gray?"
The said boy rapidly sits up a fake smile on his face as sweat covers his face "No one would go to the festival with just anyone." Natsu jumped slightly than pointed to himself, Gray got the memo than went to push his friend on the back to help stretch.
"At that time..." The raven haired boy said to himself, remembering as the three of them stood in the hallway, remembering Juvia's shocked face that was staring straight at him "What was she thinking about?"
"Stop..."
Gray stared into outer space not even noticing his friend was in pain from resting his arm on Natsu's painfully flat back.
"Stop!"
"...Before that... Why did she invite me?"
"SAVE ME!" Natsu said flapping his arms, Gray was pulled back into reality and looked at him
"Ah... Sorry..." He stopped and stood up, they started punching the air and Natsu was glaring at Gray the whole time
"I told you so many times to stop!" The pinkette notices his friend is just blankly staring ahead "Oi! Demon Gray. Are you even listening?"
The raven haired boy stared at his fist remembering that this was the hand that held Juvia's. Gray's eyes dilate and he erases the memory as he shakes his head crazily, Natsu looks at him with confusion. He stops and pants lightly with a a bit of blush, Gray closes his eyes and furrows his eyebrows.
Ultear sat in a cafe sipping at a fizzy drink silently, she looked up when she saw Meredy run towards her.
"Ul-chan! Long time no see!" The said girl frowned as she sees Meredy had a new, glowing tan
"You tanned...!" The pink haired girl sat down and rolled her eyes
"I went to Okinawa with my family during the holiday. And god, You're albino." Meredy said "Hows it going with you're boyfriend?"
"Ha?" Ultear said slightly confused
"Umm... Gray-kun..."
"Since that time, I haven't seen him all summer." The black haired girl said as she propped her arm up on her hand
"EH!? There's not much time left in Summer vacation. Are you giving up on Gray-kun?"
"... No." Ultear said sighing
"You have no energy, Ul-chan." the raven haired girl said looking away sadly
"Energy..." Meredy gulped nervously and smiled hoping to cheer her up
"I-it'll be alright! Ul-chan is cute!"
"thanks..." She said blandly "But the rival is even cuter than me..."
"Lets work even harder now!" Meredy said enthusiastically
"yeah..." Ultear said unenthusiastically "Against those kids, huh?"
"YOSH! I'll treat you to some apple pie!" the pinkette runs off with her wallet, when out of sight Ultear looks down sadly
"I also... Wanted to go to the festival with him..."
Juvia laid on her back with her arms outstretched in front of her, and in her hands she held the heart mask from the festival. She stared at it happily and fell asleep, letting the mask fall to her side. Juvia wakes up and sets it on the floor, after a moment she picks it back up and holds it to her chest.
That was Juvia's every night, the days went in a blur. They were full of visiting Levy at work, studying in her room, baking lots of delicious foods with Lucy, and eating watermelon when all three of them did homework together.
"Faster...faster... I wish school would come faster."
-_-_-First day of school-_-_-
Lucy and Juvia all walked into school, listening to people chatter on how tired they are. The boys already saw the gorgeous blue haired girl and they already started talking, saying she's grown more prettier. They weren't lying, Juvia's lashes have grown along with her hair. Her skin earned some color, and she looked more refreshed.
"About what happened at the festival, I still have no idea what happened." one boy said as they huddled together. Lucy sent them a menacing glare but Juvia just stared at them blankly, four different boys met gave on accident but quickly averted with blush.
"I can't look at her in the eyes..."
The two girls walked down the hallway to be greeted by Levy, she was smiling and was being her usual bubbly self. When a very familiar pink haired boy started walking towards them as he talked to some other friends, Levy spoke
"Ah! It's Natsu-chan!" The said boy turned to them "Natsu-chan, Good morning."
"Oh..." He said when he saw Juvia standing there, he waved happily "Morning!"
"You're not with Gray-kun?" Levy said
"Ah... If you're talking about that guy..." Natsu gestured behind himself and their eyes followed to see Gray looking over at them he nods to Juvia, making her blush. Gray stared into her gorgeous blue eyes making Juvia bow deeply, he bowed back and walked past the group of girls and one guy.
All of them stared at him but only Juvia caught the little bit of red on the apple of his cheeks.
"Wait up, Gray!" Natsu said as he chased after him, Juvia followed him but Gray caught her in the corner of his eye and he walked faster. Juvia stopped and watched the retreating figure of Gray.
-_-_-Lunch!-_-_-
"Ah we're here!" Natsu said as he walked onto the roof where three girls were already sitting at "Feels like we haven't been on the roof in a while."
"Doesn't it?" Lucy said. The four people watched as Gray sat down and opened his lunchbox, he started chowing down his food silently.
"How was everyone's summer vacation?" Natsu said but than he saw Juvia, he remembered the festival than quickly added "On second thought, never mind!" Gray packed up his bento
"Natsu-chan and all have been doing club activities?" Levy said making conversation
"Y-yeah... We're nearing the competition."
"Ewww... Sounds tough," Gray stood up making Natsu jump
"Eh! Gray?!"
"Since we're nearing the competition, we don't have time to leisurely eat like this." Gray said heading for the door
"Ha? What's with that?" Juvia stared at Gray
"I'll go practice for a bit." He slammed the door making Natsu sigh
"...He was only here for a minute." Levy said
"He's a Karate idiot!" Juvia stared at where he sat than her eyes went wide when she saw his chop stick container, she stood and picked it up. Juvia opened the door to see Gray right on the other side, his eyes went wide when he saw her with his box.
"Ah!" He snatched it out of her hand "Thank you." Juvia watched Gray jog down the flight of stairs, sadness clouding her eyes when she heard the sound of his steps vanish she turned around and returned to her friends.
Gray made it to the bottom and turned the corner, he leaned up against the wall and sighed in relief. If he stayed there any longer everyone would see the blush forming on his cheeks.
