Chapter 1: Lyon's Confession
"Woaaaaah! Daimatou Enbu's winner: FAIRY TAIIIIIIIIIIL! -Kabo!" He twirled and announced the winner. The crowd went louder than ever.
"Yatta! Go Fairy Tail!" The Fairy Tail mages cheered and raised their hands with their hand signal.
They had a small party at HoneyBone, but they will soon leave the inn and go to Akane Resort. As usual, the mages partied hard, drinking a ton of booze, fighting with such a small reason, singing, dancing and laughing. There were a few mages from other guilds that came to have fun and congratulate them. Minutes later, a White haired mage arrived. It was Lyon. As soon as he got inside, he explored the inn to look for Juvia. As he entered another room, he caught sight of Juvia, and not so far away, was Gray and Natsu fighting. He felt sad seeing her still stalking him even at a time like this. He made his way through the crowd and reached Juvia.
"Juvia-chan, congratulations. You were an excellent mage. You're so strong and beautiful." He praised. Juvia was startled.
"J-juvia is glad. Thank you.. But, you are Juvia's rival! I shall not accept you as my friend!" She shifted her focus to Gray once more, ducking behind a couch.
"R-rival? What do you mean, Juvia-chan?" He was confused.
"Do not call me Juvia-chan. Juvia doesn't like it. You are Juvia's rival! You are trying to steal Gray away from me!" She pointed at him. Lyon stared at her for a while. Soon, not able to hold back his laugh, he burst out laughing.
"Wha- Juvia doesn't understand your behavior.." She said.
"C-come with me.. I have something to clear with you." He stopped laughing. He grabbed Juvia's hand and led her outside. For a minute, Gray noticed what was happening. He saw Juvia and Lyon holding hands! He was annoyed. He was always annoyed when it's about Lyon. But Natsu punched him and made him focus to Natsu once again.
"Konoyaro!" He shouted and punched Natsu back.
"Wh-where is Lyon-san taking me?" She was feeling nervous. They got out and walked to a park nearby. They sat on a bench under a big tree. They were sitting from edge to edge. Like they hated each other so much.
"Juvia.. What am I to you?" He asked.
"Lyon-san is a rival.." She said, putting her hands on her lap.
"I am not your rival Juvia.." He calmly said.
"But you're stealing Gray-sama away from Juvia!" She protested.
"Juvia.." His voice was deep. Juvia fell silent and felt tension in the air as Lyon spoke.
"The only person I'm trying to steal... is you, Juvia.." He said. Juvia was lost for words.
"J-juvia is.. Wha- Juvia doesn't understand Lyon-san!" She said.
"You're feelings towards Gray... That's how I feel for you, Juvia." Her eyes narrowed.
"L-love?" She said.
"Yes.. I felt it from the moment I saw you.. Juvia, I love you.." He said. Juvia stood up, with her hands rested on her heart.
"Sorry Lyon-san. Juvia doesn't feel love for Lyon-san.. I love Gray-sama!"
"I know.. But Gray doesn't feel that way for you.. You shouldn't wait for his approach forever.. You deserve so much better. And I think you deserve someone like me!" He said.
"No! It's- Right.. Gray-sama never noticed Juvia.. But.. But.. Gray-sama is the one for Juvia! Juvia loves him and she hopes that he'll love her too!" She ran away with teary eyes and returned to the inn.
"I knew she would say that.. Curse that Gray.." He rested his elbows on his knees and cupped his face with his hands.
Juvia stopped in front of Honeybone's door. She wiped the tears off her eyes. She breathed deeply and cleared her thoughts.
I am only for Gray-sama.. He is the only one I love.. Juvia cannot accept Lyon-san's love.
She ran both of her hands down her skirt then opened the door. She slowly walked in the inn, trying to find Gray. As soon as she found him, She just sat from a distance, watching him. But she wasn't acting like she usually does when she's stalking Gray. He was taking a drink without his shirt. Gray's eyes shifted to Juvia's direction. He didn't want to make her think that he likes her, but she was acting strange all of a sudden. He put down his mug and walked towards Juvia. She wasn't noticing him even though he was just right in front of her.
"Oi, Juvia." She was still looking on the floor.
"Juvia!" He went down to catch her attention.
"G-g-gray-sama!" She blushed hard.
"Juvia, is something bothering you?" He sat beside her.
"Why is Gray-sama talking to me?! This is a miracle!"
"Juvia.. I love you.."
"Juvia!" He called out again. Juvia was fantasizing again about Gray.
"Sorry, Gray-sama." She said.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Though, Juvia is happy that you care for her. Juvia thinks that Gray-sama doesn't care about her.." She said. His eyes narrowed.
"I-is that what you think about me...? I'm sorry Juvia.." His voice deepened.
"N-no. It just crossed my mind.. Because Gray-sama does not approach Juvia's feelings for him.." She mumbled.
"Sorry. Don't worry, I care about you. Like the way I care for all our nakama here." He smiled then went away. Juvia showed a faint smile. Although it made her happy that he was worried about her, she was still sad. It wasn't the answer that she wanted to hear.
After two days, they were all ready to leave the inn. They were going to Akane Resort! Everyone was excited to relax and have fun after the Grand Magic Games. But at times, Juvia still worries about Gray's feelings for her.
"Juvia? I noticed that you've been acting strange lately.. Since we won the Grand Magic Games." Erza asked.
"Yeah.. Um, Juvia, I think I just saw you with Lyon at the park the night we had a party?" Lucy added.
"Y-you were with Lyon? Ooooh! What did he say?" Levy got excited.
"Did I hear something about being with Lyon?" Mira suddenly popped out of nowhere.
"Ahh, No, no.. Um, I mean, yes.. Juvia was with Lyon that night but it was nothing.." She said.
"Juvia! Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!" The girls persuaded her.
"Okay.." They cheered.
"Well, That night, Juvia was stalking Gray as usual.. But Lyon-san went in and brought me to the park.. He told me that.. He told me.."
"What? What did he tell you?" Levy said.
"Lyon-san told Juvia that he loves her.. He told me that I deserved better than Gray-sama.." They girls mumbled words but Juvia didn't understand them.
"then, I told him that Juvia only loves Gray-sama.." She said.
"Oh.. But Juvia, I think Lyon has a point. Gray doesn't really notice your feelings for him.. But if you really love Gray, we will totally support you in whoever you'll choose!" Lucy said.
"Right.. I remembered asking Gray about his feelings towards Juvia.. But I didn't get an answer.. I'll try to look in to this." Erza was thinking about knowing Gray's true feelings.
"Minna! Time to go! We don't want to waste time here than go to Akane Resort!" Makarov shouted.
"Ikkuyo!" They all grabbed their bags and went off.
They finally arrived at the Resort. They put down their bags on the sand and sat down, waiting for their rooms to be announced and who will be together in the rooms. Makarov left to take the room numbers and grouped them. Minutes later, he returned holding a list.
"Yosha! These are the rooms and who will be sharing rooms!" Everyone listened carefully by his announcement.
592: Natsu, Lucy, Wendy
"Ugh. Why do I get to share rooms with that guy!?" Lucy said.
"It's okay, at least we're together, Lucy-san!" Wendy went beside her.
593: Bisca, Alzack, Bixlow
594: Elfman, Ever, Lisanna
"E-eh?! Why am I with Elfman!?" Ever said.
"So you can have a fun time with Elfman!" Mira added.
"Nande!?" She said.
595: Mira, Laxus, Freed
596: Cana, Gajeel, Levy
"G-gajeel!?" She blushed a little
Lastly, 597: Gray, Erza, Juvia
"G-gray-sama?!" Juvia was shocked.
"J-juvia? Erza?!" Gray was shocked too.
"Omae... What do you mean by your tone?! Perfect. I can investigate things going on in Gray's mind." Erza threatened.
"Yosh! Get your keys here and proceed to your rooms!" Makarov smiled.
Erza grabbed the key for the room 597. They walked inside the Hotel and found their rooms. Erza led the way and the two followed. She noticed, Juvia has been acting strange lately. Instead of getting all excited, she looked worried and tense. Something is very strange about it. When they entered the room, the found three beds in one room. The bathroom was nice. It had a hot tub and a shower too. The place was big. It was amazing. Erza went straight to the kitchen and see if there were any food. While Juvia went straight to the bedroom and dropped her bags on her bed. She was the first one to unpack. While Gray was just on his bed, sleeping.
"wh-what?! I'm in.. the same room with Gray-sama.. Just the two of us.. Alone.. But, why do I feel like this? I'm not so excited about it.. What's wrong with me?" She thought. She stared at Gray. He was shirtless. Yes, he looked handsome. He looked perfect. But Juvia was slowly losing interest in him when she realized that Gray wasn't really approaching her feelings. Although he knows about what she really feels for him, he didn't seem to care..
She continued unpacking and putting her stuff in the cabinet. First her dresses, casual clothes, shoes, accessories, swim wear... underwear. As soon as she saw her underwear in her bag, her face became hot. She was worried that Gray would see them. She hesitated to bring them out, looking at Gray every time. She hurriedly took them out of the bag and ran to the cabinet. As soon as she was done, she breathed deeply and lied down on the bed.
Meanwhile at the kitchen, Erza was very lucky. As she explored the cabinets and the refrigerator, she saw a whole Strawberry cake! She drooled as she saw them. She hesitated for a while before eating them, thinking about Gray and Juvia. She thought of giving some, or eating it by herself. Then she thought, maybe if I finished this. they won't even know that there was a strawberry cake! She grabbed a fork and enjoyed herself, eating her favorite cake.
