Chapter One
You Again!

.

.


Gray Fullbuster absolutely hated high school.

Well, okay maybe that's a bit of an exaggeratio- no. No. No, it isn't. Gray Fullbuster absolutely, positively, hated high school.

He hated waking up at five in the morning. He hated having civil wars in his home against his little sisters over the bathroom. He hated waiting for the bus. He hated the crowded halls, he hated the PDA (Public Displays of Affection) in the hallway he always had to pass when he headed towards math class. He hated the questionable lunches that the cafeteria ladies would serve everyday. But. Most of all, he hated, Natsu Dragneel, biggest jerk in the school... Maybe in the city... Country... No more like the planet... Yeah that describes him perfectly. Natsu Dragneel was the biggest jerk on the planet.

As childish as his feelings were, or so he was told so by his adoptive mother Ur, he just couldn't help it. That smug, flame for brains, pink haired, idiot ruined his life everyday from sophomore year to the day of his high school graduation.

The first day they met, Gray had an interview for an internship that could not be rescheduled, happening right after school. He had worked out his schedule perfectly so he would arrive on time. That same day, just as the final bell was going to dismiss the students, Natsu accidentally spilled his piping, hot drink all over Gray, which left a bright stain on the front of one of his nicest shirts, ruining his outfit. He didn't have enough time to rush home and change. To this day, Gray has two questions. Whether it was actually an accident on the idiot's behalf, and why did he even have a super hot drink at the end of the day in the first place? Natsu Dragneel had accidentally ruined Gray's chance of getting that internship.

Their second encounter was in the boys locker room, sixth period. Gray was usually the last one out since he took forever to get his clothing back on. The school building was old, and run down already. The doors automatically locked from the inside once they were shut, and the gym teachers, who usually took an hour lunch break after sixth period, were the only ones who were able to open them. Pulling his shirt back on, Gray made his way over to the doors. He thought he as alone, and everyone knew not to shut the door completely. So when he spotted someone with earphones in, playing their music loudly already at the door he was confused. He rose an eyebrow when he spotted someone exiting the gym locker room, carelessly letting the door shut behind him. He gasped and ran forwards, catching a glimpse of pink before the door closed completely locking Gray inside. This couldn't be happening. He had another class to get to. He placed his hand on the knob, jiggling at first before he began to panic pulling it back roughly in order to try and get out. He banged on the door but no one heard him. Natsu Dragneel had accidentally ruined Gray's history grade when he locked him in the boys locker room, on the day that his final presentation was due.

Their next meeting was in art class. Gray was great at art. He was great at drawing, painting, and sculpting. The school art show was coming up, as well as the deadline to submit their final art pieces. Gray had been working on an ice sculpture for almost three months, and he had officially planned to submit that as his final piece. But of course, that wouldn't be the case with class clown Dragneel in his period. The pinkette had been walking backwards, carrying a few paintbrushes in his hands while flirting with a few of the girls that sat at his table. Not paying any attention whatsoever to where he was going, he stopped and looked back when he bumped into a body, and then heard the sound of a crashing noise. Shattered pieces of ice were scattered across the floor, and Gray's usual droopy eyes were full of shock and rage... Natsu Dragneel had accidentally ruined his three months of hard work and his chance of winning the art show.

Things like those happened every week. Whether it was spilling something on him, to knocking him down with a ball or locking him in a certain place of the school, Gray began to hate the idea of Natsu being anywhere around him. He did his best to keep his little sister, Lucy, whom his adoptive mother, Ur, had adopted after both her parents died, away from the guy. Natsu flirted with any girl who moved into his sight, even though he had a girlfriend, Lisanna Strauss, head cheerleader. There was no way he would let any of his sisters get near the guy. Natsu Dragneel had definitely ruined Gray's chance to ever get along with a guy going after his sisters.

Senior year came around, and it was time for Gray to focus on hockey, college, and Scholarships. Much to his surprise, Natsu was at tryouts for hockey that year. Nothing could go wrong today though right? Gray was the king of the ring. He had been ice skating since he was around 7 years old when his older sister Ultear took him and taught him how to skate. Nothing bad could happen to him right... Right? Wrong. In one split second Natsu Dragneel had knocked him down. Gray had been knocked down before, but this time he ended up tripping over his hockey stick, stepping on the puck and ending up crashed into the goal, injuring his leg, which cost him the season... Which cost him his dream school... Which cost him a sport scholarship... Which cost him his hockey career. Natsu Dragneel had accidentally ruined Gray's future at only 17 years old.

After high school Gray ended up going to college in Crocus, the capital of Fiore. He forgot all about Natsu, all about high school. Although for while a part of him still felt as though Natsu did all that stuff to him on purpose. Like his sole reason for moving to Magnolia, for transferring into the school, was to ruin what everyone calls the best years of your life. He called BS. He hated high school and was so glad when it was finally over. Eight years later, and now Twenty-five years old, he ended up becoming a successful public relations executive in Hargeon, on the verge of being promoted to a higher paying job in a different town.

But this coming week was not about work. It was about one of his little sister's, Lucy, and her upcoming wedding.

Gray walks into his large apartment building, immediately stepping into the elevator which took him to the thirteenth floor. He moved down the hall, his body aching from a long and stressful day, pulling out his keys from his pocket and unlocking his door and entering. He removes his jacket, and unconsciously his shirt as he goes deeper into his place. He lived in a two bedroom apartment, with a large living room, large kitchen and a balcony with a wonderful view of the city. He likes living alone. He enjoyed the peace and quiet that he...

"Welcome home Gray-sama!" A loud voice lovingly chirped from the kitchen, causing Gray to flinch in shock.

"What the hell!?" He yelled, surprised that she was in his apartment... for the third time... that day.

A blue haired woman stepped out of the kitchen, wearing a black tank top with a long blue skirt adorned with slits at the sides that showed off her smooth legs. "Juvia made your favorite! Caramade Franks!" She smiled innocently as Gray stomped towards her with a mixture fear and anger.

"Juvia! What did I tell you about breaking into my- wait did you say just Caramade Franks?"

She giggled softly and next thing Gray knew they were seated on stools at the kitchen bar, having dinner together. Juvia Lockser was a girl he met in college when he gave her his umbrella on a rainy day. He later discovered that Juvia used to live in his hometown of Magnolia and went to the same high school as him but was two years below him, and one of Lucy's friends. Juvia was, is, and claims that she always will be, head over heels in love with her Gray-sama. She would often appear in his dorm room, at his jobs, and just about anywhere he would go. She labeled every girl as her 'rival in love' and was easily consumed by her 'jealous rage.' At first Gray thought she was some crazy stalker but sooner or later he found himself growing used to the girl, and sometimes even worrying when she wasn't buzzing around him giving him attention all the time. He secretly liked the way she stayed by his side, even though he didn't make his feelings clear. But she was persistent, and everyday she found a new way to slowly enter his heart.

"Lucy-san's wedding is coming up soon. Is Gray-sama excited to travel back home tomorrow?" Juvia asked, picking up her wine glass and taking a sip.

Gray swallowed the food he had in his mouth, picking up a napkin and wiping the sauce off of his fingers. Juvia's Caramade Franks we're always full of sauce, but it's not like he would ever actually complain about that. "Well, it's been a while since I've been back there. Four years to be exact. I think it's gonna be a little weird seeing everyone again."

"Juvia understands... Juvia hasn't seen Rogue-kun or Gajeel-kun in a long time as well." The bluenette added, referring to her older, and younger step brothers who still lived in Magnolia. "It seems a bit funny to Juvia how Gray-sama hasn't even met the man that Lucy-san will marry." Gray lifted his glass and began to take a drink and the blue haired, marine biologist, sighed lovingly. "When is our wedding, Gray-sama?"

He choked on his drink, spitting some of it out as Juvia simply fell into a daze allowing her imagination to run wild. She mumbled something about being a bride, getting married at the beach, and babies lots and lots of babies... At the sound of babies he decided to leave her to her thoughts.

"Don't say crazy stuff like that!" He yelled getting up and walking towards his bedroom with Juvia following behind him.

"Gray-sama! You left your pants in the kitchen!" She called, picking them up off of the ground and beginning to fold them neatly. "Should Juvia take that as a hint!?"

"HOW MANY SCREWS ARE ACTUALLY LOOSE IN THAT HEAD OF YOURS!" He slammed his bedroom door shut, and locked it for safe measure.

After cooling off a bit, Gray jumped in the shower and afterwards stepped out to his living room where Juvia had just finished cleaning up the kitchen. He wore his shorts but remained shirtless. She poured herself a mug of hot water, dropping a teabag in to steep just as Gray grabbed her attention.

"You know you don't have to cook for me." Gray began. "I can take care of myself."

"Gray-sama says that every night." She smiled softly, picking up the mug and going to sit on the couch beside him. He had his arm resting on the top of the couch, not saying anything as she snuggled up beside him. "Juvia likes being with Gray-sama..."

He looked down at her as she took a sip of the herbal green tea she drank every night before she went to bed and moved even closer to him. He turned on the large, flat screen television which hung on the wall and began to flip through the channels in search of something to watch. A while passed as he kept his eyes on the T.V. There was a comfortable silence in his living room.

"Hey maybe we should get some sleep, we got a long trip in the mor-" he stopped talking when he looked down at Juvia who had already fallen asleep, leaning against his shoulder.

He sighed and shut his eyes as he laid his head back beginning to fall asleep as well. Sometimes he preferred being around Juvia when she was calm and quiet like when she is asleep, having her tea time, or reading a book while he read a magazine on cars or sports. Of course when she wakes up in the morning he knows she's gonna go crazy from their current position. She's gonna talk about them getting married when they aren't even dating, and she's gonna just be her usual bubbly and delusional Juvia self, on the long trip back to Magnolia.

But he was tired right now.

He would deal with the crazy side of Juvia in morning.
