Chapter 3 Is this….love?

Gray packed in everything slowly. The left side of his ribs still hurt from the fight. And why does time fly so fast around here? He wondered about what to do once he got home...

"Oi, Gray, are you ready?" Natsu called. Natsu's face was bandaged up and so was his left forearm. Natsu was in the heart of the battle so give him a break for being very fashionable in white cloth.

"Yea," Gray replied. He closed the suitcase and followed Natsu outside where Happy and Lucy were waiting.

"Thank you so much, minna," the client said.

"Ah, no problem!" Natsu smiled.

"Oh, be careful when you get back," he warned.

"Thank you for your concern," Lucy bowed.

Gray nodded. He didn't want to act too nice of too cold. (get it?)

As they boarded the coach, Gray felt a tap on his shoulder. The client was looking at him. "You have a girl back home, do ya?" he asked.

Gray's face turned a light shade of pink. "Umm...I guess."

The client handed him a brown sack. It was small. "Don't open it. Give it to her and watch together," the client pointed.

Gray nodded and fingered the small sack. "I'll take good care of it, Sir."

He cradled the sack like it was a baby. It is for Juvia...

Wait...Why was he so careful with this sack? AND IT'S FOR JUVIA! He felt his hands so clammy and his heart beat go faster, at each thought of Juvia, just remembering her. No...you know. He sighed. This is very going to work. doki doki doki Gray placed a hand on his chest, trying to stop the doki form continuing. Is this...love?

Gajeel munched on some iron while Levy read a book. Juvia sat with Cana, playing cards. OK, it seems totally weird that Juvia is PLAYING cards with a CARD mage. But she felt bored. She glanced at the clock and nodded. "I've got to go. See you later," she waved to Cana.

"OI, WHEN THAT LITTLE BASTARD COMES BACK, TELL HIM THAT I'LL RIP HIS INNARDS OUT!" Cana yelled. Yep, definiteally already drunk.

Gajeel turned and wave to Juvia and she waved back. When she left, Levy put down her book. "Well, I heard that he's coming back today."

Gajeel glanced at her. "Really? What a lucky day for her."

Juvia opened the doors again to the apartment of her beloved. She kept it nice and clean. It was very different from her flat in Fairy Hills. BUT it was Gray's place for crying out loud. Juvia ordered some cake to bring back home. She smiled and placed it in the fridge. She knew he was going to come back today. TODAY. She sighed. She'll have to...

"Juvia? What the hell are you doing in my apartment?"
