Chapter 2 Cleaning Up Gray's Place

Juvia's shakey hands grasped the key. Damn it Juvia! Stop shaking! She remembered the way to go. It wasn't hard. Gray lived nearby but she lived in Fairy Hills. As she walked down the familiar path, she saw men chatter behind her back. Usually, Gray would be with her and they wouldn't talk. NOW, he was gone, she would have to live with all these perverts.

Juvia looked up and saw the familiar door. Gray-sama's room...this is where he lives She unlocked the door and peered in. She has been in here one in a while. Only if he asked her to come inside. But that was rare. She walked in and took a deep breath. "Yes, this is Gray-sama's scent," she smiled.

Once again, she felt the hot tears prickle her eyes. Erza hugged her earlier and he cheek still hurts. She sighed and sat down one of the couches. She imagined him, walking around doing the normal man would do in his household. She saw that there were some dirty dishes. He recently ate She thought. Well, to impress him, she decided to do some Spring Cleaning!

As she dusted and washed dishes, she could already feel like a housewife. And then, he would come through the door, smiling, saying, "I'm home."

She would come to him and give him a kiss. Then, they child would...

JUVIA, YOU HAVE NO TIME FOR THAT! She snapped out. She wished that she would stop having those day dreams.

Gray held his wound. This enemy was strong. Lucy and Natsu were charging head on while he had to stay back, and bandage his wound. He sighed and wrapped the white cloth around his waist. He then saw a soft hand grasp one end and wrapped it around. He looked around but no one was around. Fuck, stop thinking about her! Gray tried focusing on healing his wound when Natsu called out. "Hey! Underwear, we're done!" he yelled.

Gray nodded and stood up. He winced. This is definetally not going so well. He walked towards Natsu and Lucy, aware that the pain was throbbing like hell. As they stop by a clinic to heal their bruises and wounds, Lucy asked Gray," I know you miss her."

He nearly choked. This wasn't supposed to be happening. No, Gray will not like that stalker rain woman. But...he was her life. Her source to go to whenever there was trouble. He couldn't do it to her. No matter how hard he tried. He then sighed. "Yes, I was thinking about her," he answered.

Lucy smiled. "I knew it. She missed you too you know. Anyways, if you really feel that way, then ask her out," she pointed.

Gray didn't want to. He glared at her. "No way in hell."

"C'mon, give her a chance!"

He didn't reply afterwards. Thinking about this would be even worse.

1 month and 3 days Juvia counted. Yes, it has been a month. The mission took that long. She sighed. She was wearing his boxers and one of his white shirts. She was rummaging around when she found them. She still wore her undergarments but...

Suddenly, she remembered about getting a mission. She had to pay for the month's rent. She changed out of them and changed back into her own clothes. She locked the door and raced back to the guild, key in hand.

Mirajane saw Juvia running towards the guild and smiled. "Juvia! How are you?" she asked.

Juvia smiled back. "Never been better!" she laughed.

Mirajane was glad that Juvia was back to normal. She walked back with Juvia. As she was helping her pick out some jobs, she heard Gajeel stomping in with Levy lecturing behind him.

"Don't do such a reckless thing again! You know how much I was worried about?" Levy scowled.

"Yesh, shrimp. You've got a sliver tongue," he mumbled.

"Gahh!" she yelled and walked away.

"What's going on?" Juvia asked Gajeel.

"I just took a hit for her and she started yelling. Anyways, where is you stripper bastard?" he replied.

Juvia shrugged. "On a mission."

She hoped that he was fine. She hoped so.
