Graya's POV

It was lonely, sometimes. Sometimes, I missed my adoptive mother Ur. I sometimes even missed Lyona, even though she annoyed the heck out of me. I missed them because they loved me. I know people in Fairy Tail love me, but not the same way they did. When I first came to Fairy Tail, I found an empty room to cry in once in a while. Now, I can hold it together for months. Most people find me annoying, but nice. To others, I was nice, but annoying. No on really loved me like Ur loved me. But nobody knew that. Nobody could see that. If anyone saw that, I would loose everything. Nobody would ever even imagine loving a vulnerable frail person. I could not let anyone see the loneliness. No one.

Julian's POV

I could see it in her eyes. The way they would darken at times. When she thought no one was looking. When she thought no one could see. I could see her though. I could see the darkness and deep sadness in her blue eyes. As much as I would love to comfort her, I know she would never take it. She would push me away, just like everyone else. I would rather be not noticed than pushed away. This way, I could still keep an eye on her, even if it was just from the shadows. Even if she never knew someone was caring about her.

Graya's POV

It was late on a Tuesday. No one was in the guild, and there was no movement that I could see. I sat down at one of the benches. It creaked as I sat down. Who knew the guild was so dead with out that Pink-haired idiot around. Tsk. I felt a prickling at the back of my neck. I rubbed the spot, turning around. No one was there. Just my imagination. I thought. I sat down again, and rest my head in between my palms. I let one tear slide down my cheek. I froze it quickly. Only one. I felt the prickling again, and this time I was sure it wasn't my imagination. I spun around, my ice make at the ready. Someone was watching me. Did they see it? I wondered. Did they see my single tear? No. No one could see me cry.

"Who's there? No use hiding anymore." I said. I circled around again, this time slower. I heard a shuffling from the front of the guild, and saw the door open, a shadow slipping through.

"Damn!" I hurried out of the guild. Whoever that shadow was, I would be waiting for them tomorrow.
