Gray POV

I knocked on the door and waited. The door creaked open

"Hey Guys! Juvia Just-" She cut off mid sentence when she realized it wasn't her friends but me standing at the door. She looked down and muttered.

"what are you doing here Gray? this was supposed to be a girls sleepover"

I was first shocked by the fact she didn't call me Gray sama. it's for the best, the respect made it akward anyway. I watched her shuffle her feet looking a bit uncomfrtable. She is wearing something so casual but it suited her. She looked so carefree and at ease, something I have never seen before. I realized how hard she has been trying to get my attention and being all prim and proper every day at school. It made me chuckle a bit.

" I just came by to make sure you were ok, that's all" I reply coolly.

"Juvia said Juvia needs space gray, besides you never walked juvia home before, how did you know where juvia lived anyway?" She asked

"Lucy told me once, I think, or maybe Natsu. No sure, I don't remember " I replied , looking more like an idiot with each passing moment. Man I suck at even being a good friend, I never walked her home, she always walked ME home.

"Oh ok, Juvia is fine, you may go now gray" she replied, closing the door.

I stopped her half way and said" Look Juvia, I know you are not fine. I don't expect you to be fine with me either. I get you need space and everything but remember, I will always be your friend ok? I don't want to lose a great friend like you. "

She looked directly into my eyes and said,"Gray, are we even friends? We are just classmates, we don't know anything about each other. In fact the way we met wasn't exactly how normal people meet anyway. You attacked and defeated Juvia. Juvia is happy you defeated her but that's just not normal. Also, would you even talk to Juvia as much if Juvia wasn't in EVERY one of your classes? Lucy san is only in a few and so is Levy Chan, you talk to them less yet juvia is sure you know more about them than you do about juvia. Juvia realizes she doesn't know anything about you after your statement this morning. You had a dark past which Juvia is oblivious of becuase Juvia treats you like the sunshine in juvia's life.Juvia thinks it's best you go now Gray"

I stood there dumbfounded. She was right. I knew nothing about her. Here I am calling her a friend and I don't know anything about her. She closed the door in my face but i knew she was still standing on the other side. I knocked on the door really hard until she opened it again.

She looked really angry "Gray would you just go already?!!??"

"No" i said as i pushed my way into her home and walked to the living room and sat on her sofa.

"Gray what the hell do you want!? This isn't the space I was asking about!" Juvia screamed, the first time ever Juvia screamed at me, and talked in first person.

She Stood there with her hands on her hip, which accented her curves which were otherwise hidden beneath that oversized t shirt. I looked at her face and replied,

"I want to get to know you, you are right, you don't know anything about me and I don't know anything about you. I was an idiot to call myself your friend when in reality we were nothing but class mates. Never in my life was i rejected as a friend, when i thought i was actually friends with someone"

"Arrrgggg Juvia doesn't want to have this conversation right now! She just wants to have a Sleepover with her friends!"

"Are they your friends or they your classmates like me?" I asked.

"They are juvia's friends, they know everything about me" She replied.

"How come you never told me anything?" I asked.

"How come you never told Juvia anything?" she countered.

"Besides gray never asks anything about Juvia, Gray just answers random questions Juvia asks or just talks about school work we have together".

I just sat there. I get up and say " I am sorry i never asked. I would like to be your friend if you give me the chance. I thought we were already. That's how i normally treat people. I guess i didn't realize how self centered i was. If you want to be my friend let me know on monday. I promised to give you your space. And whatever you decide I am ok with. If you decide to give me a chance, I promise I will always be there for you as a friend, this time as an actual friend. I will know you better and be a better friend. "

With that, I walk out the door without looking back.
