Hi there ! I'm new here and I'm a french girl trying to improve her English by writting some stuff about Juvia ! This story was originally supposed to be a one shot but I got a little too excited haha. I'm really thankful to my friend ReallyYesShips for correcting this first chapter. Enjoy this story ! Oh and last thing, I don't own Fairy Tail.

Juvia was walking to the guild, with a cheerful smile on her face. Today will be her day! She'll confess her love to her beloved Gray-Sama and they will end up with thirty babies and a beautiful house and maybe finish with Lucy's head stuffed in a chimney. Yes! They will be happy together and nothing will tear them apart. So when she arrived at the guild hall, she waved with a little smile at Gajeel and Levy who were talking about the baby's name, and at the Strauss sisters at the bar along with many others. She looked through the hall, searching for the reason as to why she's still breathing. Once she found him talking to Natsu, she happily walked over to him, but stopped suddenly, her smile vanishing from her lips.

"Seriously, I really don't understand why she talks in third person. At first I found it unique and special but now… Damn I just want to make her shut the fuck up every time she talk in that shit third person way. What kind of freak does that?"

Juvia just wanted to cry and the sky outside was demonstrating her emotional state at the moment, but she didn't want to cry and escape from the guild. Again. Instead, she kept a smile, although a fake one, on her face, and walked on to greet Natsu and royally ignore Gray, which shocked him and all the people around them that had witnessed it. She quickly sat on a table without noticing that there was already someone there. That someone sighed loudly, staring at the poor bluenette who had her arms crossed on the table and her head resting on them.

"Hey Gloomy, why are you so depressed today?" The voice to the side of her ventured.

Juvia, surprised, looked up to see the person who had spoken to her and raised her eyebrows at the sight of Laxus. When did he get here? He seemed to have heard her because he sighed again.

"I was here in the first place, it should be me asking you that."

"Juvia… Juvia…" She couldn't help but to stutter.

As she was looking at Laxus, her eyes started to water despite her efforts to wipe them. The sky started to cry with her as Laxus was looking at her with frowning eyebrows and was wondering what the stripper did to her this time. It was the only reason as to what would make her cry like this. He was going to ask her, when the slight drizzle outside transformed into a true deluge and mostly saw all the members of the guild glance at her wondering what was happening. He even had a dark glance from Gajeel who was about to stand up and join them. Shit, they were thinking that he did something to upset her. Once again he sighed, before getting closer to Juvia.

"I don't know what happened between you and the stripper but I would appreciate it if you stopped crying right now, before all the guild come over here to yell at me because they're thinking that I've upset you." He pleaded with her in a hushed whisper.

Juvia looked at Laxus as her tears continued rolling down her cheeks. She turned slightly to see several people staring at her wondering if she was fine and others whispering some things towards Laxus and by their expressions, it wasn't really nice. She immediately felt guilty to put one of her comrades in that kind of position and forced herself to smile and wipe her tears away. Laxus was still looking at her, raising one of his eyebrows seeing how quick she could wear a mask to the others.

"Juv-" Again, her words came to a halt. She bit her lower lip before quickly turning away to walk through the guild doors.

Laxus was getting curious and even if he wasn't really a close friend of the bluenette, they still learned to be friends while being in the Fairy Tail B group. He got up in turn, going to pay for his drink at the bar, before taking the same exit. He tried to find her through her scent, but the rain greatly affected his abilities. He decided to search the city in the rain. He was completely soaked, and sincerely hoped that she had a good reason for making the sky open up like this and forcing him to follow her.

He contacted Evergreen to check if Juvia was in her room at Fairy Hills, and she informed him that she was there. He instructed Evergreen to prevent any women, especially Erza, from knowing that he was going to visit Juvia before making his way to Fairy Hills. Her following his instructions without question.

At Fairy Hills, Juvia was crying loudly, she was screaming in pain, as she remembered what Gray had said. That he thought she was a freak and he wanted her to shut up. Her heart was broken into a million pieces. And since she was surrounded by objects that reminded her of Gray, with Gray dolls, Gray towels, and other trinkets sporting his resemblance, it gave her the horrible impression of being encircled by multiple Gray's staring at her with scorn. Telling her that she should be more like Lucy, that she should speak normally, that if she had half of Erza's strength, Mirajane's smile, Lisanna's kindness, Levy's intelligence, Lucy's body, she might have a chance with him. It was too painful for her, she started to tear apart all of her Gray dolls, her posters and even threw her towels into the trash. Her room was a big mess, just like her.

When Laxus arrived in front of Fairy Hills, he walked quietly to the guild's women's residence and blew out the rain. He resumed his serene path. Erza was still in the guild like most girls, but there must be some in the corridors. And seeing him, especially him, inside Fairy Hills was not going to fix his reputation as a womanizer. He used his sense of smell to avoid all bad encounters but Evergreen had done her job well. So it was not long before he found the bluenette's room. He knocked several times but did not hear anything. He repeated the action several times and finally he just walked in and was surprised to see the pathetic sight in front of him. A Juvia still sobbing on her knees on the floor and all around her was this mess that was nothing other than showing that she was crazy in love with Gray. To see her in this state gave him a twinge in the heart, he never thought he would see her like this.

He approached her leaving his drenched coat at the entrance. A little water would surely add nothing to the slaughter of the mage's room. He was now squatting in front of her and looking at her as if he had something fragile in front of him. She had not noticed that someone had entered her room and finally, Laxus had her face raised with his index finger. She looked at Laxus as if she was empty… and she was. Juvia did not even have the energy to feel surprised at his presence. They looked at each other, silently.

"He does not deserve your tears." He whispered softly to her. Laxus was serious and he caressed her cheek as she continued to cry silently. He helped her get up to sit on her bed. The fact that he was soaked did not seem to bother her, so he sat down beside her.

"Spit it out."

"Gray-Sama ... Said that Juvia was a freak to speak in third person and that every time she spoke, he wanted to silence her, and unfortunately not by a tender kiss." She sobbed. Laxus felt anger rising in him, how could a man say something so disgusting to a woman so kind, so loving, so unique as Juvia? He clenched his fists.

"He apologized?" He spoke through gritted teeth. He saw her shake her head gently and he noted in his mental list to go find this idiot to make him regret his words, and make him regret every tear that the water mage had shed over him. He saw her tighten her hands in the fabric at her thighs.

"Is Juvia really weird? Do others really want to shut her up when she talks?"

"No. Don't believe in this bullshit. Gray is and will always be an idiot. He does not know what he's losing so you'll stop crying for a man who does not deserve the tears of a girl like you."

"But Gray-Sama is right ... Juvia is weird. She's not as attractive as all the other girls in the guild ... Maybe if Juvia dressed like Lucy ..."

"Stop your Gloomy shit. Beauty is not through clothes. You are very beautiful as you are." Laxus spoke honestly.

"Laxus-San really thinks so?" Juvia stared at him with disbelieving and hopeful eyes.

"I'm not the type to lie. I am not as stupid as that ice cube." He saw Juvia relax and he thought he heard a slight laugh. She looked up at Laxus before giving him a small smile.

"Thank you, Laxus-San."

"Save your thanks for later Juvia."

He saw that she did not understand why he was telling her that, but when she saw the smirk that the dragon slayer was wearing, she realized that he had something in mind.

"Would you like to take out your revenge on the stripper?"
