Ohai theeeere~ I just wanted to thank you all for the reviews and compliments it means A LOT to me / And thanks for sticking with the story so far :3 and sorry for all the mistakes q_q

Love stands for ... Trust ...

Everyone has their secrets . Little ones , big ones . Secrets are a part of ourselves , a treasure of our soul . It's up to us , whom we trust . Friends or family or sometimes even strangers . You just got to find the person , who keeps your secrets as a precious gift , a part of your dear treasure . But before you share secrets , you must share your story , your past . Because secrets are also pieces of a bigger and greater puzzle . If you give one , also give the other and choose the right person . And after all , in love we trust .

So here they were , after Juvia's crying session . Walking through the town , looking for a good ice stand . Gray was very picky , when it was about ice ... or slushies ... or frozen yoghurt ... or anything related to ice or freezing temperatures . God knows why , Juvia surely didn't . While the fuzzy ice eater Gray was looking to his right and left , his fellow companion hummed a melody . It was Juvia's favorite song . It was cheerful , lively and something Juvia held onto . Why , you ask ? Gray did too .

Share your secrets ...

From the corner of his eyes , Gray observed Juvia . It was like she was in her own world , with that smiling expression . It looked calm and happy , which made him smile too .

Even though she was only humming , Gray could tell , that her voice was pretty . She would make a fairly nice singer . And then she woke curiosity in him . The melody she was humming , kept on repeating itself . He liked it . It was catchy and he was about to hum it too .

"Oi , having fun singing ? Maybe we should place a hat in front of you and make you sing on the streets . Would be good money" , he grinned and turned to her . Her expression snapped from one moment to the other , as her face flushed and it became burning red . You could almost smell how she felt , since every pore of her body discharged embarrassment . "I .. Juvia ... Is .. Sorry .. " , she clutched her hands and tried to hide her face . Cute .

The popular ice mage put his hand on top of Juvia's head and ruffled her hair lightly . "If you tell me what song that was , I promise not to make fun of you .." , he smirked and gave her the 'and what are you going to do' look . The bluenette looked at him quite shocked of how much of a blackmailer he was . "But.. But Juvia is embarrassed ... She never told anyone about .. her singing habit .. ". "Well then it's time , no ?" . The young woman looked at him in disbelief ... He really wants to know ? The grin stayed on Gray's face , as he eyed her waiting for an answer .

Her face caught an even deeper red , while she tried to bring out some words . "I... It's Juvia's favorite s...song . From her childhood ." , the shy girl stuttered . "Aha .. Further?" , Gray asked with a questioning look . "Wha... What further?" , she said hoping he wouldn't ask her more questions ( Her hopes got smacked right away ) . "How did you learn it , who taught you , what does it mean to you , why are you singing it now and stuff you know ." , he shrugged .

The streets were full of people and it was pretty loud . Not the best place to share ones secret . So in all the trouble and losing each other at least 5 times , they decided to move into a side-street , in which they found a small , but lovely café . They sat outside , since it would be a pitty to miss this great weather . He pulled the chair out for Juvia , like a real gentleman , while she focused on all the answers she had to give to all his questions . After ordering their favorite sundae , they continued their talk .

"Ummm .. Juvia used to have a nanny . A really nice one . She always took care of her , since Juvia could think . Whenever her parents weren't around , she was . Her name was Lillian . Lillian was one of the kindest people Juvia has ever met ! She taught Juvia 2 important life lessons , which she'll never forget . And one of them was "There will always be sunshine after the rain" . Juvia wouldn't quite believe her , so Lilly even wrote a song for her , which Juvia still remembers till today . And she would always hum or sing it , when she felt down or happy ... to remind herself that Lillian's words were true ... and .. and that's how Juvia started singing ."

As the waitress brought their ice cream bowls , Gray was still starring at her . In that moment he realized how few he really knew about Juvia . He didn't know anything about her parents , her family , her former enviroment , how she got into phantom lord ... but he wanted to . The ice mage wanted to know it all , even though , he didn't know why . So he asked her questions and Juvia would answer them all honestly , sharing her memories with him .

Share your past ...

After a long talk , Gray leaned back and folded his hands behind his head . Too much information for his head . Gray wanted to keep all those informations , wanted to remember them and he tried really hard . After squeezingg out the last drop out of Juvia , he didn't have any questions anymore , but she did . "Can .. Can Juvia ask a question now ?" . "Sure .. Why not . Seems fair ." . She played with the edge of her skyblue summerdress as she bit her lip . The bluenette wasn't sure , if she should really ask that . "Go ahead . I won't bite ." ... "What were Gray-sama's parents like?"

He sat still for a moment , while the painful memory was piercing his heart . But he'd answer her . "My parents died , when I was very young . I can't tell you much , but they were great people ... " . And immediatly Juvia felt guilty . How rude of Juvia to ask such questions ... She should have thought of it ... And suddenly his voice appeared again , much more calming and soft , than usual : "But I had a great foster mother ... Her name was Ur . To me she was the kindest person on earth ... giving me shelter , giving me love , teaching me magic . She was the greatest gift in my life ... And then she died ... for me" . And so his heart filled with sadness , which was about to freeze it completely again . All those memories , all those feelings he tried to deny were back .

Juvia noticed that . She noticed by his expression . Because Juvia also wore that expression a lot . And she felt with him , because no one should feel such pain . "Does Gray-sama have his perverted stripping habit from her ?" ... Gray looked up suprised , a little bit shot back by that question . A fairly weird one ... and funny . He smiled . She smiled back . "Yes .. She made Lyon and me do that ... first i thought she was some kind of predator ..." Juvia laughed . And it made Gray feel warm again . That's what Juvia wanted . So she kept asking questions about Lyon's weird personality , their rivalry , stripping , longs nights out in the snow and all the snowball fights . And while they did so , they snickered and they giggled all evening . Sometimes one of them would even accidently spit out some ice cream , but that ws okay . Gray was happy , that he found someone he could trust and share his past and secrets with .

Sharing your heart feels good , sharing your soul feels good , but knowing that someone values all those things as much as you do , that's one of the greatest feelings in the world . ... Because after all ,

in love we trust .
