It was midnight and everyone was sleeping peacefully. Well, not everyone.

Juvia was laying on her bed but she wasn't sleeping. She couldn't sleep. She could only think about Gray. About the kiss.

Juvia touched her lips with her fingers. His lips were so soft and warm and she couldn't help but blush. She was mad at him but after that kiss, it left her confused and speechless. She wasn't sure if he was serious about his feelings for her, but when she looked into his eyes, she saw seriousness and...love?

Juvia shook her head and got up. She wasn't feeling well, so she went to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw her face, it was cherry red. She quickly splashed cold water on her face and took a deep breath. She was thankful that nobody saw them, even her friends.

She thought about Lyon and their date. What Gray warned her about him made her think. Should she go out with him or cancel the date? Should she believe Gray? They were cousins but Lyon was so kind and sweet. Juvia didn't know what to do, it was so confusing. She splashed cold water on her face again and left the bathroom. She went to bed and closed her eyes, thinking about Gray and Lyon.

The next morning:

" Alright girls, first we're going to the beach with the guys, then we'll head back at 02:00pm and get ready for the carnival, we'll meet at the lobby at 04:00pm, understood? " Erza said.

" Yes ma'am! "

" Good. " Erza smiled then looked at Juvia and noticed that she wasn't ready. " Aren't you coming, Juvia? "

Juvia shook her head and smiled. " No, Juvia isn't feeling well, she'll stay here and rest. "

" Oh, okay then. Bye! " Erza said and left with Levy and Cana.

Lucy looked at Juvia and frowned when she saw Juvia looking sad. She walked towards her and sat next to her. "Juvia, are you okay? "

Juvia looked at Lucy surprisingly and smiled. " Yes, why do you ask? "

Lucy looked worried. " Well, you look sad and I'm worried. Did something happen yesterday? "

Juvia closed her eyes then opened them and looked at Lucy. " No, Juvia wasn't feeling well. There's nothing to worry about. " she smiled.

Lucy signed and took her hands in hers " You know you can tell me anything. If something's bothering you, tell us right away and we'll help you. We're best friends, Juvia and best friends tell each other everything. " Lucy looked down for a second before looking up at her. " Did something happen between you and Gray? "

Juvia's eyes widen and a small blush appeared on her cheeks. She pulled her hands from Lucy's and put them on her lap. Lucy noticed that Juvia was blushing and she found out her answer.

Juvia looked nervous and played with her fingers. "Well... yes. " she whispered.

Lucy smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. " Can you tell me about it? "

Juvia didn't look at her and Lucy noticed that she was shaking. She brushed her bangs which covered her face and saw that she was crying. Lucy gasped.

" Juvia, what happened? Why are you crying? " She hugged her and Juvia hugged back tightly as she cried on her shoulder. After a few minutes she calmed down and pulled back, brushing her tears away.

" Thank you Lucy. " she smiled but Lucy looked worried.

" Juvia, tell me what happened yesterday. "

Juvia took a deep breath and explained what happened yesterday when they were alone, how they ate ice cream together, talked and laughed then when he saved her and held her closer to him and how they kissed, almost everything. Lucy only looked at her with wide eyes, she didn't know if she was shocked, happy or angry.

" What Gray said really broke Juvia's heart, and after Juvia met Lyon and he asked her out on a date, Juvia went back to the hotel. " she signed sadly.

" Wow. " Was the first thing Lucy said.

" There's also another thing. " Juvia said and Lucy was curious what it was. She saw Juvia's face becoming red. " When Juvia left, Gray followed her and stopped her at the hall and wanted to talk. Juvia didn't want to talk to him, but then... he confessed. "

Lucy's eyes couldn't get any bigger. " You mean, he told you his feelings towards you? "

Juvia nodded and took a deep breath. " Juvia didn't know if she should believe him, but he looked so honest and serious. And then he kissed Juvia. " Her face was cherry red and she hid it in her hands.

Lucy put her hand to her mouth. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Gray kissed Juvia, twice. And he confessed to her. It happened so fast! Gray wasn't the type of person to fall in love at first sight, though she did notice that he and Juvia were getting along very well and hung out together. And they both looked happy!

" Lucy, Juvia doesn't know what to do! It's so confusing! " Juvia had tears in her eyes and looked at her desperately.

Lucy looked at her and smiled. " Juvia, I may have known Gray for a year, but that's enough for me to know that he's not a bad person or a player and he's doesn't fall in love easily. But I noticed how he looked at you, like you are an angel. And I also noticed how you looked at him, you were in love with him. " At that, Juvia hid her red face again. " You guys hang out ever since his first day here and I know that he enjoys your company and loves spending time with you. He told me that. " Lucy grinned and continued. " And you know what? " Juvia looked at Lucy curiously and Lucy smiled. " You were his first kiss. " Juvia's eyes widened and she gasped. " Gray didn't mean what he said to you, he was really nervous and he wouldn't hurt you on purpose. I know this stuff because he's like a brother to me and we share everything. " Juvia looked down and signed.

" But Juvia... " Juvia looked back at her and saw Lucy smiling.

" Think about what's right and what's wrong. But mostly you should listen to what your heart says. But I think you should talk to Gray. He'll be happy. "

Juvia looked at Lucy speechless then smiled widely and hugged her. " Thank you Lucy. "

Lucy laughed and hugged her back. " Anytime! "

They pulled back and stood up. " So, are you coming to the beach with me? "

Juvia smiled. " Yes! "

Lucy grinned. " Great! Then get ready, your prince charming is probably waiting for you! " she joked.

Juvia blushed and threw a pillow at Lucy, laughing.
