Gray and Cana's conversation

"Gray!" Cana called. Gray turned his head to see her walked up to him. He had just finished his conversation with Erza, once again, about Juvia.

"Sup' Cana?"

"I want to talk to you about something. Follow me." Gray frowned but followed nonetheless. What was it that she wanted to talk about?

She led him to the guild's sleeping quarter. The room was usually used for the wounded members to rest after coming back from missions. As of then, no one was there. Cana motioned for Gray to enter the room first. Gray came into the room, followed by Cana. She left the door open because a guy and a girl alone in the room together would only lead to another misunderstanding even though they didn't do anything. Unbeknown to Gray, behind the open door stood Juvia, quivering with anticipation. Cana leaned on the wall close to the door.

"So what is it that you want to talk about?"

"It's about your conversation with Erza yesterday." "Oh shit!" Gray swore in his mind.

"Natsu said that you and Erza talked about relationship yesterday and you confessed to Erza about your feelings. Was it true?"

"Damn that idiot Natsu! Did he somehow know that we were talking about Juvia? Did Erza told him? No, she promised me not to tell anyone. Then he must have figured it out by himself. And he told Cana? And now Cana confronts me about it. Great! First Erza and now her! At this rate, the whole guild will know. Or maybe they already know." Gray was in panic, nervous, and embarrassed that he failed to notice that there's no way for Natsu to figure out what he talked about with Erza since he didn't even hear it.

He sighed. "Yes I did. So what?" he answered, thinking that Cana was talking about his feelings for Juvia.

"So you actually like her?"

"Where have I heard that line before? Oh right, Erza said it. This felt like deja vu." Erza had encouraged (more like pestered) Gray to confess to Juvia already. She said she knew he liked her and that he was just denying the truth. And now Cana was doing the same thing. "Why is it that everyone keep pestering me to confess to Juvia?!" he thought in frustration. Gray decided to answer her with the answer she gave Erza "I'm not sure about my feelings. I'm so confused."

"He confessed to Erza but he's still not sure about his feelings? Is he in a dilemma or something?" "Did you regret confessing to her about your feelings?"

"No, she said she understood my feelings because she had been in my shoes before." Gray thought back at how Erza told him about her feelings for Jellal. She had been in love with him when she was a child, but her feelings gradually changed when he was possessed. Back then, she was confused with her feelings, torn between hate and love. She hated him enough that she had wanted his demise, but on the other hand, a part of her still loved him and wanted to save him from Zeref's possession. Though when all the problems were over, her feeling became clear again and she knew that she loved him.

Cana however, interpreted Gray's words differently. "So maybe Erza still has some feelings for Jellal that she isn't sure whether she should accept Gray's confession or not. So they're not a couple yet but they're on a dilemma whether they should be or not" Cana speculated in her mind.

"If you're still confused, let's talk to me about it then." The two continued their conversation, unaware that they were talking about two completely different girls.

"Well I never thought of her that way before. After all, as you know, our first impression was not very good" Gray said, referring to his fight with Juvia when she was still part of Phantom Lord Guild.

"Yeah I agree" Cana replied, remembering Gray and Erza's first encounter when they were kids. The two threw insults at each other often. Gray would challenge Erza and Erza would beat him up.

"And...well...she scares me sometimes" Gray said, referring to Juvia's obsession over him. She could look really scary when she was jealous.

"Hm... I know" Cana said, remembering how Erza always beat him and Natsu for causing a ruckus.

"But she was a good friend. We fight alongside each other many times. And I can feel some short of chemistry with her" Gray said. "That's why we can do unison raid."

"That's true" Cana replied. "After all, you are in the same team."

"All this time, I care for her as a comrade, a precious friend. But... I don't know since when... but it seems that my feeling for her had gradually change. And know, I don't know what I look at her as." They were silent for a while. Cana didn't say anything. She knew that Gray had to let it out of his chest.

"Have you ever felt jealous seeing her with someone else?" Cana asked. "Like with Jellal for example."

Jealous? Gray thought about it. True there were times when he felt annoyed when Lyon showed up when he was with Juvia. Was that mean he liked her as more than a friend?

"If you are jealous when you see her with other guys, when you're afraid that someone will take her away from you, that means you really like her. As in more than friends" Cana explained.

Realization dawned on him. He mumbled in almost inaudible voice but Cana could hear him. "Yeah... I... like her... I think I like her."

Cana, who leaned close to the door, heard running footsteps. Juvia had run away. "I feel bad for Juvia, but it seems that Gray really likes Erza." Cana sighed. "I understand. I support you then."

"Eh?"

Cana put her hands on his shoulders. "I support your relationship with her. If you really like her, then go get her."

Gray didn't know what to say. He had just realized his feelings but to be honest, he wasn't ready for a confession yet. In the end, he only nodded. "I'll do it when I'm ready." Unbeknown to him, the very girl he wanted to confess to had just went out with a huge misunderstanding in her mind.
