URGH Never again! For as long as I shall live I shall never drink this much again! My head is so sore! I already had to resist the urge to throw up for what seems like the hundredth time this morning. But much to my dismay I knew that I had to get out of bed soon. This was only a one night stop at this hotel and then we had to get ready for the gig tonight. This is only our second performance but I feel like I have been on the road for ages! It's been three days! I look at the clock and groaning while reading '9.45' on the clock realising I've probably only had about 5 hours sleep after last night.
I suddenly snap my head to the side facing my door as I hear someone pounding on the door! It sounds like more than one person and the knocking sounds pretty urgent. I roll myself out of bed with much difficulty as I drag my poor body to the door and open it to see Erza and Levy in front of me looking too awake for this time of the morning.
"Lu-Chan! We need a band meeting now!" Levy says grabbing my hand that is not on the door knob and pulling me inside with Erza following suit! I arrive back onto the bed I notice that Juvia is not with us.
"Where's Juvia?" I ask
"She's the reason why we are here." I look at Levy shocked.
"Has she done something wrong?" I ask a little worried for her.
"Not at all. We wanted to tell you what Erza and I heard this morning!" Levy-chan practically shouts at me. I immediately grab my head nursing it.
"Guys. Not too loud please. I drunk a little too much last night." I explain.
"Well I'm afraid there is no sympathy there." Erza replies being once again the tough one out of all of us. "Anyway. We wanted to tell you that we heard that Gray and Juvia got together last night!"
I look back shocked and suddenly a memory from last night appears in my head.
"I'm not surprised really. Natsu and I were the last ones to leave them in the room last night. We even admitted that we both knew that they liked each other…."
"Woah hold up there! You knew and you weren't going to tell us! How does Natsu know Gray likes Juvia?"
"I guess I wanted Juvia to tell us in person. We never saw anything happen. Natsu told me last night that Gray told him that he liked Juvia and I told him that Juvia told us that she likes Gray so I guess I assumed that it would happen." I shrugged. It was simple logic I guess. "I think we should wait until Juvia tells us what happened instead of speculating. You never know nothing may not have happened and we are getting ahead of ourselves."
"I suppose your right. Anyway, we need to get going for rehearsals. We need to do some sound checking for tonight in about an hour." Erza said
"Okay. Just give me twenty minutes. You guys can wait here if you want" I offer. Once I'm showered and dressed I feel a lot better and a little more sober. I'm glad that I don't particularly suffer from hangovers for long especially after a long shower. I nod to Levy-chan and Erza to go and we may our way out of my room, stopping at each one's respective rooms to collect instruments etc for the sound check and our bags to put onto the tour bus for tonight.
We had just finished helping Erza bring out her MANY bags that she always counts as her 'overnight' gear when suddenly we see a door near the end of the corridor open. We run into Erza's room once noticing that it is Gray's room door that opens and we all peek out of the crack in the door that we attempted to shut. Trying to keep as quiet as possible, we watch as Gray and Juvia leave the room. Juvia leaves first while Gray leans against the doorframe. They both check the corridor to see that it is apparently clear and we see Gray bring a hand up to Juvia's cheek and pull her in for a kiss! Sweet Mavis! We knew it! We knew that Gray and Juvia were together last night!
Trying to keep ourselves as calm as possible, we watch as their little make out session finishes with a hug from Juvia and Gray bringing his hand again to her cheek.
"Thank you for last night Juvia." We hear Gray say to Juvia
"Juvia is happy that she got to spend the night with Gray-sama" We all slightly swoon as our own love scene plays infront of us.
"Me too." He says back. "Juvia… I know that's only been a few days that we've known each other but…..do you want to….. maybe….. go out with me Juvia?" We hear him ask as our mouths all drop instantly as we are all silently freaking out behind the door telepathically screaming at Juvia to say something while she stares back in shock! "I-i-if that is that you want to, you know I would underst-" We hear Gray start to stutter as we watch Juvia crush her lips to his to shut him up. She retreats with a smile on her face.
"Juvia would love that." Gray's face instantly relaxes and he grins as he hugs Juvia and grabs one of her hands to play with it. "Cool" He answers "Maybe keep it between the girls and the guys for now? We don't want Mira-Jane and Gramps for now to know. It may make things a little complicated. Maybe wait until half way through the tour for them to find out?" Gray suggested
"Okay Gray-sama. Juvia understands. As long as Juvia can get to tell the girls then Juvia is fine with it."
Gray laughs. "For the last time Juvia call me Gray, lose the sama. You don't need to be formal with me" Juvia nods. "Okay Gray-sa… Juvia means Gray."
"I'll see you later after rehearsals?" Gray says giving her one last kiss before she nods and walks off towards her room while Gray shuts his door behind him. The next thing I know I feel Erza who has been standing behind me since she is taller lean into me and in unison Levy, Erza and myself fall out of the room and into the hallway to see a shocked Juvia looking at us.
"Um…. guys, what is everyone doing on the floor?" She asks looking a little worried.
Erza was the first to react. "We came looking for you but I tripped and fell into Lucy who fell into Levy therefore landing on the floor like dominoes." She said cooly
Juvia, not being the smartest person, just nodded and smiled. "Okay…"
"Anyway" Erza said to quickly move the conversation alone while Levy-chan and myself got ourselves off the floor nursing our wounds. "Where have you been? We knocked on your door and you weren't there" Good thinking Erza! Juvia was turning as red as Erza's hair when she grabbed Erza's wrist and said to us all quickly. "Band meeting now!" dragging us all inside her now open room. We all sat on her bed pretending to look bewildered at what she wanted to tell us. I could tell that Levy-chan really wanted to say that we knew what was going on but I managed to give her a knock on the side of the arm to let her know that she needed to keep her mouth shut!
"Basically…the reason why…Ju-Juvia wasn't in he-her room was…because…..oh…Juvia don't know how to say it." She stuttered
"Just spit it out Juvia!" I shouted out not ready to wait for ages for her to say something.
"Um…um..umm…..GRAY-SAMA AND JUVIA WERE TOGETHER LAST NIGHT!" She practically shouted. There were rounds of excitement and we just waited for her to carry on. "Basically, Gray-sama and Juvia were left alone once Lucy-chan and Natsu-chan left. Juvia and Gray-sama were left alone and we were talking until Gray-sama leant in closer to Juvia and we started kissing!" We all squealed by that point with excitement as our imaginations went wild.
"The next thing Juvia remembers is waking up in Gray-sama's bed and Gray-sama asking Juvia to be Gray-sama's girlfriend!" She answers back slightly embarrassed.
"Juvia that's great! Did you say yes? Are you and Gray going out" I ask trying to keep up the pretence that we apparently know nothing that is going on or what we just witnessed outside.
Juvia paused for a second. "Juvia said yes to Gray-sama" She said looking very pleased with herself.
We all screamed again and started to pile onto of her with hugs and shouts of congratulations. We already knew but we were not going to let that fact ruin Juvia telling us what was going on!
"Juvia I'm so happy for you!" I said back
"We need to congratulate Gray too" Erza said
"We knew you two would get together" said Levy-chan.
"Thank you all. But before Juvia forgets, Juvia must ask you all to keep this a secret from Mira-chan and Makarov-chan. Gray-sama said that things may get complicated if they knew." We all nod
"Of course Juvia we understand." Erza continued "You two have only known each other for a few days. I'm sure that they would have something to say about it since it's so early." Juvia nods
I look down at my watch to check the time. "Girls we REALLY need to get to practice now!" I say making all of the girls panic and run down to the venue with minutes to spare.
