Gray and Juvia

As he was strolling through the streets of Fiore, Gray Fullbuster knew he was being followed. It didn't threaten him in any way, and in fact he knew exactly who it was. "Juvia," he called behind him. "Just come on out."

Juvia Lockser, another member of Fairy tail and one of Gray's friends, slowly revealed herself from behind a wall, her eyes glued on the ground.

"What's with all the sneaking around?" he asked her. "You do know you can just come out and talk to me right?"

Juvia's face turned bright red as she gazed at the cobblestone ground. "I…I just thought you didn't like me very much."

Gray sighed heavily, Juvia was truly the densest person he knew, aside from Natsu of course. "That's not true, you are my friend just as much as Lucy and the gang are."

Juvia looked up in surprise. "Oh, I see," she smiled.

"Well since you're here," Gray spoke with a hint of shyness as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Would you like to go somewhere with me?"

Heat began to rush up to Juvia's face causing it to become a slight shade of pink. She couldn't believe that Gray wanted to go somewhere with her. "Y..yes!" she responded happily.

With a slight nod Gray began to walk, Juvia following at his side. The air around them was slightly awkward, but it wasn't unbearable. Gray lost himself in his thoughts as he walked. He had wanted to spend some time with Juvia for a while now, but he never seemed to have the time, or the courage to do so. Suddenly, he was knocked out of his trance by Juvia calling out to him.

"Gray," she drew his name out to grab his attention. "Snap out of it."

Gray shook his head a bit. "Oh, uh sorry. What did you say?"

Laughing slightly Juvia looked up at him in curiosity. "Well I was asking where we were going."

"Oh, it's one of my favorite places, it has an amazing view," he spoke with a lot of excitement. Juvia could tell that this place meant a lot to him, but she couldn't figure out why he was taking her there.

After walking out of the city, and through a small path in the woods, they ended up on a cliff just outside of Fiore. A massive tree rested off to the side of the clearing. After hearing Juvia gasp Gray looked over to see that she was awestruck by the scenery. He couldn't help but lock his gaze on her, she seemed so happy.

Juvia looked around in amazement, she couldn't believe the view! They could see the entire city from where they were. With the sky becoming darker the lights were beginning to illuminate from the city which made it even better. After relishing in the view for a bit longer Juvia looked up at Gray only to find that he was already looking at her, a big goofy grin on his face.

"What's that grin for?" she asked with a smile.

Gray chuckled. "Oh its nothing. So, do you like it?"

Juvia gave him a questioning look. "Are you serious? It's amazing! I'm just mad you didn't tell me about it earlier, but I can see why you wouldn't want to tell anyone about it. You wanted to keep its beauty to yourself," she held a slight smile on her face.

Gray watched her curiously as she began to walk towards the edge, and sit down. He couldn't believe he could talk to her so openly without her slipping into her deluded fantasies. He quickly joined her, and sat only a few inches away from where she was.

"Thank you," Juvia blushed.

Gray looked over in curiosity. "For what?" he questioned.

"Thank you for sharing this amazing place with me, it's nice to know that you like me enough to take me here."

Gray began to grown nervous. He knew what he wanted to do, but he didn't know if he had the courage to do such a simple yet daring task. After taking a deep breath he slowly inched his hand closer and closer to Juvia's. Before long he finally placed his hand on top of hers.

Juvia jumped a bit, startled by Gray's sudden touch. Her face grew incredibly red as she glanced down at his hand that now rested on hers. She then sneaked a glance at his face that was also bright red. She smiled softly as she moved her hand so she could lace her fingers with his.

Gray looked over in surprise to find Juvia smiling softly at him. After a few moments he smiled back at her, glad that he made the decision to bring her to his favorite spot, she was his favorite person after all. With that they continued to enjoy the view until the very last drop of sunlight.

The End.

AN: Here is simple yet sweet Gray and Juvia chapter! I apologize for how long it has been. I'm not making any excuses, I've simply grown lazy with my writing. I promise I'm going to get back on track with everything, but sadly starting next Sunday I will be away for a month without my computer. Do not worry though! I promise that as soon as I get back my writing will be better than ever, and I will update everything as much as possible. Anyway, please leave a review and tell me what you think. Thank you for all the support.
