Forgotten ( A Gruvia FanFiction)

Chapter- 9

"Lyon!?"

Gray P.O.V

I watched as the silver hair ice mage from Lamia Scale Guild, approached us. He panted and sweated a little but was able to catch his breath when he saw Juvia and began fan-boying. 

"Juvia-chan! Its been so long! How have you been doing?" he asked while holding both her hands and smiling at her confused face.

For some reason, that kind of triggered something off in me. So without thinking I stepped in between them and stood in front of Juvia like a human shield. Lyon furrowed his eyebrows at me and looked a bit pissed for my intrusion.

"Juvia isn't well Lyon...I think you should leave her be until she's fully recovered."

"Nani? Juvia-chan is sick!? What happened? I'm sure I can hel-..."

"No! There's nothing you can-...uh!."

Juvia touched my shoulder to calm me down and then stepped in front of me and stood in front Lyon.

"Gomen, Ano....Lyon-sama but...Juvia doesn't remember anything at the moment. So if you were a close friend of Juvia's, I...I'm sorry....." 

I stared at her in shock. Did she just use 'sama' at the end of this jerk's name!? Flashbacks of how she use to use it all the time on me reappeared themselves in my mind and only made the situation worst. I saw Lyon staring at her with eyes full of surprise and sorrow. 

Normal P.O.V

"Your kidding..." he whispered out.

Juvia shook her head and let him know that it wasn't a joke.

"Uh..."

"So you mean...you don't even remember my feelings for you?" he unconsciously breathed out.

This took Juvia by surprise and she looked at him with enlarged eyes and a red tinted face. 

"N-nani!?" she blurted out.

Lyon realized what he had done and quickly tried to turn the topic around.

"Ugh! Gomen! Gomen! I didn't mean to say that! I uhh...I...its nothing ^-^" you rejected me anyway so yeah nothing to worry about heheh~..." he trailed off and nervously scratched his head.

Juvia looked at him with a disappointed expression, but still had that hue of red on her face.

"Ano....Juvia is so sorry...."

"No, no its ok really. It just wasn't meant to be for us ya'know heh...I hope we can still be friends though...if that's ok with you?" he said with hopeful eyes and a crooked smile.

Juvia gave him a close eye smile and and replied with a cheerful, "Hai! Of course!"

Gray was stunned by how Juvia was able to smile so easily at Lyon. It actually hurt him inside, but he was so focused on the two mages that he didn't even took heed of it. The two started chatting and giggling at every little comment they made with each other. The ice-mage felt his head getting light so he packed up his stuff and decided to head home.

"Gray! Is our training already over?" the bluenette asked him.

That really stung him....Gray was all she would call him now, not 'Gray-sama'  ......

"Yeah....you can go home for the day Juvia...nice work today." he said while giving her a half smile and walking away.

~At Gray's Apartment~

The ice-maker threw his stuff aside, not caring where it landed and plopped himself on his couch. He put his forearm on his eyes and tried to nod off into a deep sleep and forget about what he saw. Why did he even care about if she blushed at Lyon? Or smiled at him or even called him... Lyon-sama? Why was he so...
