"So is that the job you picked out, Juvia?" Mira asked breaking the blue haired mage's silence in the corner. She was just holding the post and staring at it like she was having second thoughts if she was going to do it or not.
"Let's see it then." Mira quickly took the paper on her hands making the water mage panicked.
"Oh I see. This is why you're sulking right there. They just need a Water and an Ice Mage to do waterworks and an ice sculpture. This job seems to be so perfect for both you and Gray. And the reward is not that bad after all." Mira said happily.
"That's why Juvia was having second thoughts about it. She don't know if she can ask Gray-sama to go with her. She don't want to be alone with him."
"This is so not like you, Juvia. I thought you-" but then she cut her off.
"I guess Juvia should just look for another one. She just can't ask Gray-sama because of what happened at the-"
"Grand Magic Games?" Mira continued.
She nodded.
Mira let out a small sigh and felt bad for her friend.
"You know what? Distancing yourself from him won't help." The blue haired mage gave her a confused look but then she just smiled at her.
"Your mind tells you to stop, forget about him, distance yourself from him and ignore him because your mind knows you have suffered a lot already. But this" Mira pointed at her chest. "has been enduring it and still trying to go on because your heart knows, there is still something left. Something worth fighting for. Something that Gray should know."
Juvia was left speechless, she was trying to think what else she could defend about what Mira just told her but she can't because what she said was the truth after all.
"Maybe I should be the one to ask Gray for you. He might be doing nothing right now. Don't worry. Everything's going to be alright. Just always be yourself. Just be the Juvia he wants to be around. The Juvia he wants to be with. The Juvia he has always in his heart."
Juvia got even more confused on what Mira just said. She asked her to repeat it again but the Demon just laughed at her.
Oh Dear Mavis. Love is in the air. I hope this wouldn't end. Mira thought to herself happily.
"So I think you're both ready to go." Mira looked at the blue-haired water mage who's obviously trying to hide the redness on her face while the Ice Mage smirked right next to her.
"Your new hair style suits you Juvia-san." Levy complimented. "Right, Gajeel?" She gave him an if-you-don't-agree-you're-dead look. The Iron Dragon Slayer gave her an annoyed look but then nodded.
"Okay, enough already. We're going." Gray almost yelled.
He took their bags even Juvia's and left.
"Are they going to be alright, Mira?" Cana asked with a worried face.
"Don't worry. I'm sure Gray knows what to do with his stubborn heart and mind. Same goes with Juvia. They'll figure themselves out. I'm sure with that."
I know. I know it's a short one. I'll update as soon as possible. It's just that I'm so busy with school and I don't have time to continue the story and get online anymore. So Mira did all the part on this chapter. Please don't forget to leave a review!
