Hint:

"It's ok Juvia..."

"Gray...thank you," Juvia said, tears forming in her eyes.

"There's no need to thank me. Like I said before, I will always protect you..."

BACK IN MICAELA'S ROOM:

Micaela: You should've seen that coming you know.

Gray: Which one? The matching outfits or Cana's dare?

Micaela: BOTH YA IDIOT!

Gray: SHEESH!

Micaela: Sorry but even I saw that coming and I wasn't even there!

Gray: True.

Micaela: But the matching outfit thing, I have to admit is kinda adorable. ^_^

Gray: NO IT'S NOT!

Micaela: *giggle*

Gray: Once again, I hate you so much.

Micaela: *giggle* What happens next?

Gray: Well, this part actually starts with Juvia...

Juvia's POV:

Juvia followed Cana-san through the large crowd, down an empty hallway, and then all the way to the most remote girls' bathroom. Cana-san then stopped right in her tracks and stood there silently for a while. Juvia was very confused, but she knew she was up to something. But...what was Cana-san about to do?

"Cana-san?" No answer. Juvia then spun her around and found Cana-san crying. "Cana-san! What's wrong?" She then raised her head still with tears in her eyes but a smile was spread across her face.

"I can't believe it Juvia! I can't believe it!"

"Believe what, Cana-san?"

"He found his... He found his happiness," Cana-san said starting to break down.

"Who? And what's the happiness?"

"It's Gray... and you're his happiness." Stunned. That's how Juvia felt at that moment.

"Juvia... ME!" Yes. Juvia for the first time talked in first person. That how shocked Juvia was.

"YES YOU! Don't you know how much he expresses his feelings now!"

"What do you mean?" Juvia said, turning slightly pink.

"He smiles with actual happiness. He cries with actual tears. He blushes with real embarrassment or feelings! And all these things happened after you fought him."

"Juvia... Juvia doesn't understand... Juvia thought that Gray-sama always has done these things."

"Well he did all these things but with no actual purpose. BUT NOW HE'S FOUND IT! You're his purpose Juvia. Please! Be there for him! He's like a brother to me. Not that the other boys aren't but, please! His happiness means so much to me!"

"Of course Juvia will. Juvia loves..."

"YOU WHAT!"

"NO! NO! Juvia meant tha-"

"THAT'S WHY YOU CALL HIM "GRAY-SAMA"! YOU LO-"

"Cana-san! Don't say it so loud! People will hear us!" Juvia said in a hushed tone.

"Why not." Cana-san whispered.

"Juvia may have strong feelings for Gray-sama, but it doesn't mean that Juvia wants to tell him YET! Juvia wants to wait for the right moment. And now isn't the time. Plus Juvia wants to wait for him to confess first."

"Ok... but I know how to speed things up!"

"How?"

"Well... I need you to drink this the same time Gray does." Cana-san handed Juvia the same bottle and shot glass that she gave Gray-sama.

"NO WAY CANA-SAN! Juvia doesn't know what that would do to her!"

"Well what about I tell you about my little plan."

"Juvia doesn't like this... but she is listening."

"Ok so first, I got this bottle from one of my old drinking buddies. He says that just the amount of a shot glass can get a person super drunk!"

"Juvia doesn't like this!"

"Quit whining and let me explain my plan. My plan isn't the getting drunk part. It's the honesty part!"

"Wait... What?"

"Have you ever heard of the Italian drink Pure onestà?"

"Yes Juvia has... NO YOU DIDN'T!"

"Yes I did Juvia, whether you like it or not!"

"So if Juvia asked Gray-sama if he likes Juvia, he'll-"

"BINGO!"

"CANA-SAN! JUVIA COULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!"

"WELL I'M TRYING TO SPEED THINGS UP!"

"UGH! Ok but why do you need Juvia to drink this?"

"Because! If you're the same state as he is, then you'll both be completely honest!"

"I don't get your point."

"JUST DRINK IT!"

"OK! OK! JUVIA WILL!"

"Good."

"But when will Juvia and Gray-sama be drinking this?"

"That's stage 2! And you'll have to find that out by yourself."

"COME ON CANA-SAN! NO MORE SECRETS! Can you at least tell Juvia if the both of us are drinking this in front of everyone or by ourselves?"

"Hmmm... It's actually a little bit of both!"

"COME ON! Please tell Juvia!" Cana-san didn't answer. The only thing she did was walk all the way back to the group with a huge grin on her face. Sadly, the only thing Juvia could do was follow her.

Gray's POV:

"There you guys are! We were starting to get worried. Did you find who you were looking for?" Lucy asked.

"Yep. I found her." Cana gave me one of her devilish smiles but something about this one gave me goosebumps. Whatever is coming, whatever Cana has planned, even Zeref can't stop it.

"That's great to hear. Want to continue the game?"

"Can we move on the 7 Minutes of Heaven?" Natsu whined.

"What do you guys think? 7 Minutes of Heaven?"

"Sure. I don't mind," Jellal said.

"Sounds fun," Erza agreed. Everyone else including Juvia and I agreed as well.

"Great! Now, everyone write who you want to go in the closet. You write one girl and one boy," Lucy explained. I'm writing my choice on the piece of paper and then... Wait... Is Cana and Erza winking at each other?! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!

On my strip. I put Erza and Jellal down, just because I think it'll be the most interesting. Lucy comes around with 2 miniature jack-o-lanterns; One for the girls. One for the boys. After making a full circle around the group, Lucy sits down in her spot.

"Let's start with the girls..." Everyone in the group grew completely silent and the world seemed to revolve around us in slow motion. No one knew who was going to be picked and it wouldn't be a good thing if they were picked either. Especially if it was Juvia and I.

"All right let's see... for the girls it's... JUVIA!"

"0_0" SHIT!

"And for the boys... OH MY GOD! IT'S GRAY!"

"0_0" FUCK!

"You have 7 minutes and counting to do what ever you need or want to do. GO!"

"YOU RIGGED THE GAME!" Both Juvia and I screamed at our friends, as they pushed us into the closet. They shut the door and then we heard a faint click. Oh shit... We pushed with all our might but the door wouldn't even budge. Juvia used her water slicer to break it open but it didn't even have a scratch on it when she finished. Both of us fell on the floor in the cramp room side-by-side.

"Are you guys done?" Cana spoke through the door. Juvia and I give each other a quick glance in agreement. The quicker we do this, the quicker we get out of this closet.

"Good. Now I want you both to drink it." At first I was confused. But it was only when Juvia pulled a shot glass and some sort of miniature liquor bottle out of pocket, when a wave a realization rushed over me. I had completely forgotten about the dare. Man... I'm about to die a painful death.

I grab my bottle from my back pocket and then the shot glass. Remembering Cana's directions, i gently poured the liquid into the tiny glass, making sure that it wasn't overflowing. Surprisingly, Juvia didn't even open the bottle. I put down my filled container, carefully next to me.

"Juvia are you ok?"

"Juvia is fine Gray-sama."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Just a little nervous."

Juvia's POV:

Gray-sama scouted closer to Juvia, which made her face heat up immensely. Juvia hopes Gray-sama didn't notice! He lifts his hand and puts it underneath Juvia's chin. He then uses that hand to raise Juvia's chin up to his face.

"Don't worry. It's not like Cana put poison in this or some sort of death magic," Gray-sama said, very charmingly.

"Juvia can't help it. Juvia is scared."

"I'm not gonna lie to you Juvia... but I'm scared too. I also feel very guilty..."

"Why do you feel guilty Gray-sama?! This isn't your fault. You know better than Juvia does that Cana-san is just like that."

"You're right...but if I didn't say dare in the first place! Ugh... I don't know...I'm sorry Juvia."

"Gray-sama. Like you said before, there's nothing to worry about."

"Thanks Juvia. You're amazing," Gray-sama... called Juvia... amazing! "Are you ready to drink this Juvia? Cause even though I like to spend time with you, this closet is getting too cramped and hot!"

"*giggle* Of course Gray-sama."

"Ok. On 3?"

"Yes."

"Ok. 1...2..."

"3!" The both of us said in unison, as we chugged down the liquid. Once both shot glasses were empty, Gray-sama and Juvia looked at each other and waited a moment. Nothing seemed to be happening. All Juvia could feel was a putrid taste on her tongue.

"ACK! IT TASTES AWFUL!"

"Yep. *chuckle*"

"DON'T LAUGH AT JUVIA! IT TASTES LIKE BURNT TRASH!"

"Have you ever tried burned trash before?" Gray-sama sneered at Juvia.

"GRAY-SAMA! Why would Juvia eat burned trash in the first place!"

"I know Juvia," Gray-sama kept laughing.

Gray's POV:

God... I know I've said this like a billion times right now but... Juvia is so beautiful. I could almost melt away right now. Her beautiful smile. Large azure eyes. Wavy aquamarine hair... Sorry I must sound like such a stalker right now but... I feel exactly like when we were at the lockers. Not ready for the unexpected...

"Gray-sama. Why are you stripping?!" Juvia said very worried.

"There's no way that in less than a week I..." I look down at my body and I realized that once again, I was just in my boxers. "YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" As I strangle to put my clothes on, I heard a very cute, yet agonizing giggle from behind me. I turn around to find that Juvia was laughing at me! AND SHE WASN'T TURNING AWAY! Could this get any more humiliating...

"Gray-sama. Stop trying throwing yourself at Juvia. *giggle*"

"Haha. Very funny Juvia!"

"But it hasn't been a week since you've last stripped in front of Juvia."

"I'M SORRY!" I said, putting my shirt on. I could feel my face burning up immensely. "Juvia. Do you mind turning around as I change?" I said very embarrassed.

"Sure," Juvia said as she flipped herself around, facing the opposite wall. "Ok. You can look now." Juvia flipped herself around once again. She gave one intense stare at me and then started to laugh even harder than the first time!

"What?" I said sternly.

"*giggle* Umm Gray-sama!" Juvia laughed and pointed at me. Once again, I looked down at my now fully-clothed self. At first I didn't notice anything, then I noticed something VERY embarrassing! Somehow, I do not know... my underwear was over my costume pants. WHY DO THESE THINGS ONLY HAPPEN WHEN I'M AROUND JUVIA!

"AHH! Juvia I'm so sorry! This doesn't happen!"

"It's ok Gray-sama. Do you need help?" Juvia said. The heat rushed to my face almost immediately. I hope she didn't notice it.

"No. It's ok. Do you mind turning around again?"

"Juvia doesn't mind." Once she turned around I started to change.

Natsu's POV:

"How many more minutes are left Erza?" Lucy asked.

"Let me check... about 3 more minutes," Erza answered.

"IT'S ONLY BEEN 5 FRICKIN MINUTES!" I screamed.

"Natsu. Calm down. We don't want them to know we're listening to them," Lucy said calmly.

"You're right. Sorry Lucy. But I just want to bust open the door already."

"We all do Natsu. Honestly we do. But we have to be patient and give them time to realize they both feel the same way," Erza explained.

"BUT!" I argued.

"No buts!" Erza and Lucy countered in unison.

"UGH!" I don't see why we have to have to make Gray and Juvia do this. We already have enough a heck of a lot of reasons and evidence on how they both like each other. Why don't they just make out already. Everyone knows they like each other.

Levy, Cana, Gajeel, Elfman, and Evergreen just stared while Erza, Lucy and I argued. I don't know why but they didn't stop us this time. As we were debating, Lucy turned to look at our remaining friends and just froze.

"What?" I didn't know why Lucy said that until I saw their faces. Some of them were frozen in shock; Some of them ready to burst laughing. Erza and I exchanged looks until we heard it.

"Do you need help Gray-sama?" Juvia.

"WHAT THE F-" I tried to finish what I had to say, but thanks to "Miss Queen of the Fairies"...well... you know what I was going to say anyways.

"Sh!" Everyone in our group whispered to me. I leaned closer to the closet door like everyone else, and listened to the conversation.

Gray's POV:

"Ok. I think I did it right this time."

"GO GRAY-SAMA!"

"YAY!"

"Oh my god, we're so weird."

"I know right."

"*giggle*" Once again, Juvia and I stare at each other in complete silence. Once again the world revolved around us. Once again... I wanted to kiss her.

"Juvia."

"Yes Gray-sama." This time, I was the one who was leaning in, but my goal wasn't the cheek.

Juvia's POV:

At first Juvia wasn't sure what Gray-sama was doing. But once she found out, Juvia couldn't move. This again. Locked in a hot, dark room. Stuck with Gray-sama. But Juvia wonders if the ending will be the same. Juvia guesses it's worth to see.
