It was awkward the whole time that they were in the train. Gray was always the one who breaks the silence by asking her non-sense questions like how they are going to make the waterworks and sculpture though he already knew they could finish it perfectly.

"So..." he started again. Looking at the blue-haired mage who seems irritated on something. She looked up to face him and finally noticed that he was talking to her.

"Mmm?

"Umm, so we have to travel 6 more hours until we get to our destination. You should rest for now. I'll wake you up as soon as we get there."

"Are you sure?" she looked at him and pouted her lips.

Gray blushed when he saw that expression on her face. He just nods and quickly looked away.

"Okay. I'll get some sleep and then we switch places after, so you could rest as well."

After a few minutes of silence, Gray noticed that she was finally asleep making him feel reassured that he could finally calm himself down from the sudden redness she caused him awhile ago.

She's so beautiful. Her nose, cheeks, eyes and lips. She's like a baby. Gray thought to himself again.

As he was watching her, what Mira said to him when she asked him to go on a job with Juvia came to his mind again making him feel guilty even more.

"You should go with her. She needs money for her rent and the job seems to be perfect for the both of you." Mira sounded like a kid begging for an ice cream.

"Why didn't she ask me herself?"

"Why still ask? You already know the answer." She smirked.

He made an 'tsk' sound in annoyance and took the poster off her hands and read it.

"The reward is really something. Tell her then that I'll go with her. I'll get ready so we could go after lunch." He was about to head out of the guild when Mira caught his attention again.

"She has always been alone. Everyone was rejecting her before. She was always by herself. Never make her feel like that again, Gray. You saved her from her darkness before, I know you're the only one who can save her again."

"Uh."

"She is a strong girl. She even managed to stop her rain somehow today, you see? I know you know, she's hiding it and keeping it because she think it's a bother to us but the truth is we don't even mind at all."

"Yeah I know." That was the only thing he could come up with because he simply doesn't know how to react to things like this.

"She really loves you, Gray."

Behind the smiles she shows, her laughs and her craziness, lays the broken heart that I gave her. What a jerk can I more be?

"It's huuuuge!" Juvia exclaimed, amazed on how big the house of their client was.

"It looks like a castle." She added.

"I bet you'd say that. Come on." He smirked.

An old lady opened the door for them and guided them in. Gray can't help not to smile at Juvia's reaction everytime she sees something amazing like the big painting in the staircase and the big chandelier in the dining table.

"Please wait here for a while. Mr. Fuso will be here in a bit."

They sat right next to each other and felt awkward at the same time. Juvia was irritated on her skirt ever since they left the guild earlier that was baring her long and crimson white legs. She knew he was looking, the reason why she keeps on pulling it down to hide it.

Why did Juvia agreed to wear this anyway? If it wasn't Mira-san who asked her to do so, she wouldn't be in this goddamn awkward situation with Gray-sama. She thought to herself.

And then a beard old man wearing gold like robe and holding a glass of wine came in to the room and greeted them.

"Just like what I'm hoping for. Fairy Tail wizards came. I have finally got to meet the both of you. You're both astonishing on the last Grand Magic Games."

He turned his attention to the water mage who just smiling at him.

"I've seen your strength, Juvia-chan. That technique you did that took most of your opponents down and out of the game was pretty impressive. What was it called again?"

Juvia's eyes widened in shock. She took a quick glance at Gray who was already blushing and trying to hide his face from them.

"Oh. Well..."

"Well we want to know the details of the things that you want us to do, now." He continued or interrupted rather.

"Oh my my. I get it." The old man just laughed, finally noticed that the two got embarrassed by his actions.

He explained the details to them. That he want an ice sculpture of a father and son that would last for a week and an extraordinary waterworks that could catch anyone's attention.

"It's for my birthday." He added. "A lot o people will come and I want them to see something interesting on the party this year that could make them stay for a little while. My maid will show you the hall where it'll take place so you could finish it as soon as possible."

"The two nodded and stood up and about to go already.

"We'll do our best." Juvia managed to say.

"Wait. You both should rest for now. I'm sure you can finish it in no time even if you start tomorrow since the party is still on the day after tomorrow. I know you guys went on a long trip just to get here. I will ask them to prepare your rooms for now."

"Is it alright?"

"Of course." The old man smiled to her. Before he left and went to his room he asked the two of them if they could join him on a dinner tonight so that they could talk about the job as well. They waited on the living room or guest room rather for the maid that will show them their rooms.

"He's kind." She breaks the silence.

"Yeah. Uhm, Juvia?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you."

She gave him a confused look and asked.

"For what Gray-sama?"

"Well I know you didn't ask me directly to come. But I'm just so happy that I'm with you-"

But then the old lady from before interrupted them.

"Your room is ready. Follow me."

Good thing the lady came before I said something that will surely drive her insane. But damn, letting itb out somehow feels great. Like one of the hundreds of thorns in me got off my chest and made me feel better. He took a quick glance at Juvia who was obviously confused as always.

Juvia don't understand. Why does Gray-sama always leave me with suspense? She thought and just sighed.

Sorry for the long wait. Oh my my! *Mira's voice*. Gray finally did his first move. I'll try to update as soon as I can. So for now, I hope you all like this chapter. Please don't forget to leave a review! Sorry for the punctuation, grammatical errors and so much more. I don't have time to revise/edit it anymore. xo
