It was past 9 in the evening already when Gray decided to head back to the room he once shared with Juvia.
He understood that she needed to be alone. That she needs time for herself. He knew it was the best thing to do instead of talking to her about it. Or simply he didn't know what to say or what to do when something like that happens.
He was about to turn the knob of his room when suddenly, 'that door' right next to his creaked to an open like it want him to see what was in there.
Out of curiosity, he didn't hesitate to barge in. He even called if someone left the door open to check but no one answered him.
He slowly walked in, trying not to get caught in case someone was still in there. It was dark and he can barely see everything. Only a small lamp near the bed was lighting the whole room
Then she noticed a woman with gold brown hair, dressed with a beautiful pink rose patterned dress was lying on a bed and seemed unconscious.
But Gray found it weird. He thought and he knew there was something powerful in there because of that pressure of magic he sensed before, but right now, right there, there was nothing.
He walked right next to the bed and stared blankly at the woman. Her gold brown hair fits her crimson white skin, her beautiful eyes and red lips.
She's really beautiful. He thought.
But then footsteps coming from outside to the door interrupted him. Just as soon someone came in, he had already hid himself in the closet.
It was an old man holding a glass of wine which didn't seem out of the ordinary, he didn't seem fully conscious either. His steps were limp and it seemed that he was drunk, Gray wasn't fazed as he was from Fairy Tail.
"Darling. You've been lying there for so long. I've been celebrating my birthday without you for seven long years already. We'll be together again tomorrow. I promise you that." The man's words slurred.
He kissed her on the forehead and placed his left hand to the woman lying on the bed and started performing magic.
"It can't be... But how? There's only one person I know who can use that kind of magic." Gray whispered to himself.
"I'll do anything to be with you again. To bring you to life, even if it means me dying." The old man spoke, stroking the hair of the beautiful lady.
"Lost magic. Time Ark. I know that woman lying there is not dead but I didn't know that Time Ark can heal someone and bring someone back to life." Gray mumbled to himself unknowingly.
"Who's there?" The old man exclaimed, scanning the room for any intruders.
Crap!
"Excuse me, master. Your visitors have arrived," the old lady said from behind the door.
"Oh. Okay. Tell them, I'm coming," he said before turning his attention back to the woman lying on the bed.
"We'll be together again, tomorrow. My wife. I can't wait to be with you again." he kissed her on the forehead again and left.
Gray sighed in relief before coming out of the closet and quickly went out of the room before he really got caught.
He was trying to bring his wife back by using the lost magic. Just like what Ultear wants before. I have to stop him. I have to tell this to Juvia. He thought to himself as he run to where her room was.
"You really did change. Have you forgotten everything I did for you Juvia? Have you forgotten those days when no one even wants to be around you because you're too gloomy and you always make it rain?"
Those words have been on Juvia's mind ever since she and Gray went back to their client's house.
Why now? When she already forgotten everything? When she got over those memories already? Why does she have to feel this way again? She did nothing wrong. She was trying so hard not to make it rain before but she can't help it. She can't do anything about it because if she could, she will do everything she could if it would stop them from treating her like that.
A knock on the door ruined her thoughts and a familiar voice spoke. "Juvia."
"Gray-sama?"
"You don't have to go out and see me. I understand. I just hope you're feeling okay now. I know you're-"
But before he could continue what he was saying, she opened the door and hugged him.
"Thank you Gray-sama. Thank you so much."
"For what?" he asked trying to keep himself cool despite of the sudden blush she caused him.
"For always being there for me." she began crying on his shoulders as he hugged her back.
He was going to tell her about what he knew but then he realized that she needs him more than anything right now. She needs him to be by her side at this moment.
He broke their hug and wiped his tears with his hands, as she was looking right at his eyes with hers being swollen because of crying the whole time.
"Juvia's a total mess. Don't look at her like that, Gray-sama." she managed to say.
"You're beautiful." he said as he leaned in and started kissing her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and they walked in to her room as Gray shut the door by kicking it behind.
He wasn't sure if it was right or wrong but it's like his heart and mind finally became one. He wanted her to forget everything even for a night. He wanted to make her feel she was loved. He knew it was wrong. He knew he was being unfair because he knew he was taking advantage of her. Taking advantage of her weaknesses, but he can't stop now.
