"ACHEW!"
Gajeel was in Juvia's bed his nose stuffy and his face pale. He had a wet towel on his head with his expression grumpier than usual.
Juvia rushed in with a bowl of hot soup.
"Gajeel-kun, Juvia told you that you would catch c cold if you kept on playing outside."
"I'm not playing ~achew~ I'm training." Gajeel said his voice groggy.
Juvia sat next to the bed and scooped up a spoonful of the soup and brought it to Gajeel's mouth.
"Oi, I don't need anyone feeding me." Gajeel tried to protest, but he wasn't given any choice for Juvia persisted on feeding him.
After finishing the whole bowl, Gajeel's eyes started to droop he then let out a loud yawn and started to fall back asleep. Juvia who was watching him the whole time watched as her friend fell back to sleep. She quietly left the room and made her way back into the kitchen where her grandmother was. She placed the empty bowl on the counter.
"Gajeel-kun is asleep granny."
"That's good," her granny picked up a small note and gave it Juvia. "Juvia could you be a dear and go to the store and buy some of these ingredients?"
Nodding her head, Juvia ran to the front door with her pink umbrella in hand.
On her way to the store, Juvia's attention was caught by a woman sitting in the alleyway with a large crystal ball in front of her.
"Hello, are you interested to hear your future?" she asked. "For only five jewels I can show you what your future holds."
Curiosity got the best of Juvia as she approached the fortune teller. Pulling out five jewels and giving them to the fortune teller.
Circling her hands over the surface of the crystal ball, the reader started to hum closing her eyes.
"Oh, I see…I see you having a happy life in the future with clear blue skies and cherishing friends."
Juvia's eyes started to gleam, clear blue skies and friends? She started to jitter from where she stood.
"What else do you see?" she asked a little too excitedly.
"I see a young man in your life he is to be the love of your life," Juvia started to blush. "He is a boy who always looks as if he is angry with short black hair."
Juvia started to lean forward as she stared into the crystal ball.
"Hmm it seems that all I can see," the fortune teller says. "Well unless you have more money then perhaps I could find who this lover is."
Juvia quickly look in the bag of jewels, she was disappointed to see that she had only enough to buy what her grandmother asked for. Letting out a sigh, she thanked the teller and started to make her way to the market. A large blush formed on her face as the idea of knowing about her future lover.
"Black hair and looks angry." Juvia pondered on the words. To her the only person that she could think was…Gajeel-kun? Juvia's faced started to heat up, maybe it was destiny for them to meet. She pondered on this as she made her way towards the store.
Later that day, Juvia was sitting next to Gajeel's bed as he felt. She was still left thinking on what the fortune teller said. The sound of Gajeel's grumbling caught Juvia's attention.
"Ugh, my head hurts." He tried to push himself up, but Juvia pushed him back down.
"You have to lay down," she placed her hand on his forehead. "Gajeel-kun's fever went down."
Gajeel looked up to see Juvia's expression, and it kind of creeped him out.
"Would you stop smiling like that it's creeping me out."
She had abnormally large smile on her face to which annoyed Gajeel.
"But Gajeel-kun, Juvia is just trying to take care of Gajeel-kun she needs to start now so when we get married it'll be easier."
Gajeel gave her a blank look for a minute before what she said clicked in his head.
"WHAT?" He almost jumped out of his spot on the bed. "Oi, what makes you think I want to get married?"
"But it's destiny." Juvia said lunging at him for a hug.
"Destiny? What the hell are you going on about?" He started to push her away by using his foot to shove her away.
"The fortune teller said that Juvia's lover would always look grumpy and have short black hair."
Gajeel looked at her baffled by how gullible she was.
"Wait, I don't look grumpy all the time!"
"Gajeel-kun always look grumpy." Juvia said.
"Oh yeah," Gajeel forces himself to smile sadly unknown to him was that his eyes still had their angry glare while only his lips showed any signs of change. Even then his smile looked a bit scary with his toothy grin and furrowed brows. "See I don't look that angry."
Juvia on the other hand started to slightly scooch back from him a little scared of his forced smile.
"Gajeel-kun can you stop doing that?" Juvia said. "It's creepy."
An idea popped in Gajeel's head, slowly getting himself out of bed he started to approach Juvia.
"Gihi, what's wrong? Don't like my smile?" He raised his hands in the air as if he was a monster of some kind.
"Gajeel-kun stop it!" Juvia made a mad dash towards the door with Gajeel following behind her. The two ran around the house jumping over furniture and sliding on the wooden floor.
Juvia's grandmother popped her head out of her room. She took off her reading glasses and watched the two kids running around the livingroom.
"Juvia, Gajeel what are you doing?"
The two stopped in their tracks and stared up at the older woman.
Gajeel didn't notice the small glob of snot slowly trickling out of his red stuff nose.
After receiving a scowling from Juvia's granny, the two of them were back in Juvia's room with Gajeel back in bed and Juvia setting up a makeshift bed on the floor next to him.
"Oi, Juvia?"
"Yes Gajeel-kun?" she popped her head onto the side of the bed.
"I think I'm going to grow out my hair." He said out of nowhere.
"Eh?" Juvia looked at him confused. "Why?"
"To show you that fortune crap is all fake, besides I'm kind of interested on how it'll turn out."
"But Gajeel-kun."
"But nothing, I was given my fortune one time and you know what it was completely stupid."
"What was it?" Juvia asked curious to what his destiny was.
"The lair said I would fall in love with a blue hair shrimp who's into books and all that boring stuff," he readjusted himself on the bed. "Like hell I will, who falls in love with an egghead."
Juvia nods her head not really convinced to not believe her future predictions.
"Well Gajeel-kun can think that way, but Juvia will still believe in her destiny."
"Tch, don't get your hopes up." Juvia's cheeks puff up as she glares at Gajeel. She was about to say something, but she heard a snore escape from Gajeel. Letting out a sigh, she laid down on her makeshift bed and got herself ready for sleep.
"Juvia on the other hand can't wait to see to future lover." she let out a quiet giggle as she thought about her destiny lover.
At the same time in a town called Magnolia stood a group of friends standing in front of a fortune teller.
"Eh, my fortune was lame." Groaned a pink hair boy.
"Natsu would you stop whining, I told you that those things were fakes." Ezra said pulling on his arm. "We have to be back at the guild right now master Makarov said that we didn't want us out too late."
"Hey Gray, what was your fortune?" Natsu asked his shirtless short black haired rival. With his typical grumpy expression Gray followed his two guildmates back to Fairy Tail.
"Eh something about finding some future lover or something like that."
"Oh? Did she tell you what she'll look like?"
"I think something about a blue hair girl who's super…clingy."
