{Gray’s POV}

“You better wake up early tomorrow or else I’m gonna make your head crack into two.” Lucy told Natsu. I laughed as I went inside my room, contemplating on everything that had happened tonight. I had fun, really. And it’s all thanks to Mavis and Zeref.

The next morning was my worst morning because I woke up to the loud blast of music just beside me. My eyes were so weary that I wanted to sleep for five more hours. Well, the party  had ended at midnight, so waking up early in the morning wasn’t the best thing to do for me. “What the f**k?” I hissed.

Someone threw me a pillow. “Stop cussing in front of me or else I’ll cut your tongue.” Erza deadpanned. “Get up.” She pulled the blanket and I wanted to go punch her. But of course I wouldn’t do that because she’s a girl and of course, Jellal will kill me.

“Why?”

“Why? You’re asking me why? Okay, I’ll tell you the reason. Your girlfriend is sick.”

I immediately blushed. “Girlfriend? What are you talking about?”

“Denying, eh? You want her to be your girlfriend. I’m talking about Juvia, ice princess.” Now she also calls me ice princess? And Juvia? She’s sick?

“Now go to her room and take care of her because the six of us have to sign for our second concert.” She dragged me up and left me standing, dumbfounded.

I walked towards Juvia’s room. She wouldn’t be mad, right? Erza had ordered me to come there. I slowly opened her door and peeked. There she was, sleeping. She doesn’t look like sick to me. Are they playing with me?

I touched her forehead and—oh. She’s burning up. I quickly ran downstairs and found myself a towel and water. Once I was done, I soaked the towel in the water and put it in Juvia’s forehead. Seriously, I didn’t know how to take care of a sick person.

“Ughmnh.” She moaned. Geez, she’s making me worry.

“You need more vitamin c.” I informed, though I knew she wouldn’t answer. “You’re like a little kid.”

Once in a while, I’d put the towel in the water and put it in her forehead. I don’t know how much time had passed, but I decided to take a nap. They weren’t here anyway.

“You idiot! What are you doing, sleeping around like that? You should take care of the sick while we’re not around! I’ve told you that, right? Now why are you slacking off?” Erza pulled my hair and I groaned. Oh, I just want a little rest. Why can’t I get one?

“Let... him go, Erza.” Juvia said in a weak voice. “He has done his job very well.” Job? “It’s okay.”

Erza let go of me. “Well then...” She bit her lip. “Sorry.” She walked out.

“Are you okay?” Juvia asked, worry evident in her face. “I’m sorry you got involved in this.” She closed her eyes.

“No, it’s okay. You got me worried too, anyway.” I shrugged. “Besides, you’re important to me...” I hadn’t realized I said something so cheesy not until she blushed. “To us, I mean.” I said, clearing my throat.

“Oh yeah...” She mumbled. “Thanks for worrying. I appreciate it.” She smiled. I stopped my face from getting red.

“No prob. You should get some rest.” I told her and she nodded. I walked out the door and closed it but not before she spoke again. “Uh, Gray!”
